A calling to help It took Sandy Kirsch two years to open the Heart and Soul Clinic, but Westfield is healthier as a result By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield Sandy Kirsch is no slouch when it comes to giving back to the community, even though doing so isn't always easy. The Westfield resident and full-time nurse had already helped start the Gateway Program to assist local families struggling to pay for their utilities and other expenses, but that wasn’t enough. She said she heard a calling to do more, which lead her to open the Heart and Soul Clinic, where families can receive proper health care regardless of their financial means. “I had this nagging feeling that there was something else God wanted me to do,” Kirsch said. “I’m a nurse, and it just came to me. It’s just a calling from God.” It may have been a calling from God, but the idea didn't come to fruition with ease. Kirsch jokes now that if she known how many hurdles she would have to overcome, Heart and Soul may not exist today. She first started the process in June 2007, but the clinic didn't hold its grand opening ceremonies until September 2009. Her first challenge was to find a location, so Kirsch approached her church about using one of its buildings to open a free

health clinic. While the church liked the idea, after 18 months of trying to work out a plan, the location simply wasn’t going to work. Kirsch then made her pitch to Mayor Andy Cook and suggested using the old dentist’s office on State Road 32. She said Cook said the city would be happy to help her clinic find a home, even if it meant using a city-owned building, but Grand Junction plans would eventually force the demolition of the old dentist's office, and relocation of the clinic. However, Cook connected Kirsch with Tom Smith, now the city council president, who had in mind a more long-term location for Kirsch. “(The city) had another house next to City Hall, and they were going to demolish it,” Smith said. “I showed her that one, and we decided it would be a better fit.” Now that house at 202 Penn Street is the clinic's home, but it wasn't originally

suited to meet the needs of a medical clinic. Smith acted as a liaison between Kirsch and the Department of Public Works, which found willing expert volunteers to complete heating, cooling, wiring and other mechanical necessities. Kirsch said it took six months and a lot of helping hands to complete the extensive renovation. “We had a contractor who was working (every weekend) for free and a lot of church groups helping out,” she said. In addition to renovations, a tremendous amount of medical equipment was necessary. One of the doctors Kirsch works with at her day job, Dr. William Harvey, donated much of that equipment from an office he was closing, including exam tables, scales and waiting room furniture. Heart and Soul continues to receive donated and discounted medications and other supplies from area businesses. Some medical professionals in the area also donate their time to the clinic, helping patients who otherwise may not be able to afford their services. Kirsch answered a calling to open the free clinic and help the community, and the community responded, helping her bring the idea to life. After a two-year effort to get the clinic opened, Heart and Soul is entering its eighth full month of operation. But true to form, Kirsch isn't completely satisfied. The clinic is open two Saturdays a month; she wants to change that. “I would eventually like to do evenings or more Saturdays,” she said.

about heart and soul clinic YOu can help!

The clinic provides free health care for uninsured and under-insured residents of Hamilton County. It is open the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 9 a.m. to noon. A doctor is available on the second Saturdays for general health care; health screenings are available on the fourth Saturdays. The clinic is for nonemergency health care, and no appointments are necessary. To learn more, visit www.heartandsoulclinic.org.

Even if you aren’t a licensed medical professional, you can help the Heart and Soul Clinic. The clinic always needs financial support for equipment and supplies and can use non-medical volunteers for various tasks. Donations can be mailed to the clinic at P.O. Box 478 in Westfield, and Kirsch can be contacted at 703-6132.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that the fiscal irresponsibility of the current “Millennial Generation” may be the result of a lack of direction and poor examples set by their parents. The recent report on the financial profile of teenagers and “twentysomethings” predicts that this may be the first generation that ends up worse, financially, than the one before it. Many wonder whether schools need to be doing more to teach kids how to manage money, while others blame the credit card industry for making money too accessible. While these can be contributing factors, ultimately, children tend to model the behavior of the adults who raise them. We parents must set the example on responsible spending and fiscal maintenance. A child’s value system is nurtured in the home. Overindulgence can lead to long-term damage in expectation and demand control as children become young adults. To teach better habits, we must begin to fix our own bad behaviors. Indulge with attention, not material gratification. Saying no is OK. It’s a valuable lesson for kids (and parents ) to learn. The long term effect of this “gift” is much more valuable than an iPod Touch – and it’s easier to upgrade!

No bull market

It is our position that citizens of Hamilton County should make an extra effort to support local farmers. As the summer draws near, there are scores of opportunities to purchase fresh produce. Our cities of Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville each boast their own highly regarded and exemplary farmers’ markets. The Carmel Farmers’ Market begins May 22 and will last from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. through Oct. 22. Westfield starts June 4 and will go until Aug. 8. And Noblesville commences May 22 and concludes Oct.30. There is much to see, and they are all worthy of our attention. While the Farmers’ Markets are a great way to buy fresh, organic, and specialty foods, we understand that for some, Saturday mornings can be a tough time to get out and about. Children’s sports, the allure of the golf course, and the routine and banal requirements of daily life often consume much of our free time. But we believe our health and the support of our fellow citizens justify the investment.

From the backshop

We like McVey, Buckingham in the primary election We urge you to vote in the primary election for Brose McVey, who is a flat-tax and small-business proponent. He is seeking the fifth district seat for the U.S. House of Representatives. In our opinion, he has it correct in his idea to suspend payroll tax for six months, which would be the Mcvey easiest and most economical way to do it. Of course, this is something that never would be considered in Washington, because it would remove CONTROL from the lawmakers. We’re also urging your support of Lee Buckingham, Hamilton County deputy prosecutor the last 15 years, for the prosecutor’s office to be vacated by Sonia Leerkamp. Interesting to note: Buckingham points out he is not a career politician, but a career prosecutor. We like the way he thinks. (As you may recall, last week we endorsed Mark Bowen for the position of Hamilton County sheriff. We haven’t changed our minds. We believe Bowen and Buckingham will make a terrific team in keeping our communities as safe as they possibly can be.) ••• Westfield, take a bow. With stronger participation by percentage of population, your city won the fourth annual, 12week wellness competition sponsored by Clarian North Medical Center, defeating neighboring Carmel. The challenge has cook attracted more than 4,000 participants since its 2007 launch. Westfield had 245 entrants in the quest to improve their health, Carmel had 179 registrants and 61 others were from elsewhere. The stakes (perhaps steaks?) were high in brainard the wager between Westfield Mayor Andy Cook and Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard as to which town would win. The mayor whose city had the fewest participants would

4 | May 4, 2010

be responsible for riding the Monon Trail on a bicycle to deliver lunch to the other. That will be Brainard you see donning a helmet and pedaling his way north, while Cook finds a way to build his appetite. The run-up to the end of the challenge was a good-humor ribbing contest, actually, with Cook’s staff delivering a “fat bag” of goodies to Brainard, and the Carmel mayor emptying a vending machine of snack cakes and sending them

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg Cook’s way. Hijinks aside, it was pointed out that Hamilton County leads the state in healthy residents. That’s great news. The bad news, though, is Indiana is near the bottom nationally on health-related issues. For benchmarking purposes, Marion County is 80th of 92 Indiana counties. Perhaps the biggest “loser,” we’re happy to say, is Clarian North CEO John Goble, who took the challenge so seriously that he shed 51 pounds. His biggest complaint: Having his suits repeatedly altered. That’s a wonderful problem to have. Congrats to Goble, certainly to Clarian for taking the lead on this continuing effort and to all the participants. (We might suggest to Brainard the importance of stretching before he begins his trek up the Monon!).

The ever-widening generation gap COMMENTARY By Terry Anker In spending some time with some of my younger friends this week, the conversation turned to their generation. I mentioned an article I read recently lamenting the enormous levels of debt accrued by these young people and the encumbrance associated with it. In turn, they expressed frustration with their perception that the Baby Boomer generation has consumed all the resources available for the future – including those resources they believe belong to them. Take that. Even as this sandwich generation is squeezed between aging parents and increasingly expensive-to-maintain college-aged children (and beyond), they are being critiqued – perhaps correctly – for their aggressive consumption of health care and other consumables and for passing the debt generationally. It does seem as though we, as a society, have forgotten to pay as we go. For me, it was a paradigm shift. As I lectured about not borrowing (using a credit card) to enjoy consumables like pizza, they assumed it was my consumption and desire for immediate

gratification that would inevitably forestall or even destroy their futures. Should I buy it? No doubt, every generation contributes and consumes. And no doubt, each generation believes it is struggling more than that preceding it. But have we arrived at the place where we are only taking from the coffers and not contributing? Who will collect the seeds once we all become grasshoppers rather than ants? If indeed Generation Y is the first American generation to fail to perform better than its parents, who is to blame? I strongly believe personal accountability and commitment are the ultimate impetus to drive success. It strikes me that our responsibility is not to shield these young people from the burdens of the pursuit of achievement. Rather, we must take great care not to eliminate the liberties that would allow them to accomplish success if they seek it. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Commentary By Danielle Wilson Alright mommies, our day approach-eth! And because I’ve finally wised up to the fact that my family, though attractive and talented, are not mind readers, this year I’ve prepared a “to do” list to help them organize the perfect Mother’s Day. No more disappointment when they forget it’s my day; no more bad-mouthing my husband because he didn’t clean the dishes; and no more wondering why I had children in the first place when they fight and whine on this most precious of Sundays. I’m taking control! Deliver breakfast in bed. The menu should include a tall latte from Starbucks, a sausage biscuit from McDonald’s, a small side of fresh pineapple, and perhaps a Little Debbie Oatmeal Crème Pie. I would like it served at approximately 9 a.m., depending on whether or not I am awake at that hour. Assume the role of domestic servants. I expect to come down and enjoy, throughout the day, a clean kitchen, a picked-up family room and fresh-smelling lavatories. I don’t want to have to remind anyone to remove his soccer cleat or her lip gloss from the stairs, nor do I want to receive any requests for laundry or meal prep. Uniforms are optional. Be nice to each other. Nothing ruins a peaceful mood more quickly than a smack-down among siblings. Sunday will be the perfect day to remember the “don’t be a victim” campaign and to take your fights outside (unless I am outside, in which case you should go to a neighbor’s before resuming your rumble). Pretend that you love each other. Compliment me. “You’re beautiful, Mom” is always a good one. Make me something from scratch. A bouquet of flowers from our yard, a hand-drawn card or even a loaf of bread. I love gifts more when they show thought and care and don’t cost much money.

Momma needs to buy a new house! Organize a family activity. Charades, soccer, even board games – and plan to throw the game for my benefit. My Mother’s Day would not be complete if I didn’t successfully bankrupt you all with my five-star hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk or something to that awesome effect. Complement me some more. “You’re looking really skinny, Mommy!” So easy, yet so effective. Take me out for a simple dinner, and don’t throw a tizzy if they run out of chicken fingers. This isn’t about you! And please pick a restaurant that serves alcohol. Sure, making a list of things for your family to do on Mother’s Day isn’t the most “romantic” way for life to go down, but let’s face it, this is a heck of a lot safer for everyone. I know I’ll get what I want, and they know they won’t be in hot water come Monday. It also takes the guess work and pressure off your husband. Men don’t get it, they just don’t, and now they don’t have to. So I encourage you to do the same for your family. If you want flowers, ask for them. If you want to spend the entire day without kids, plan it. And if you want to wallow in butter-smothered popcorn at the movies, than Fandango some tickets TODAY. Make Mother’s Day about you for once by doing what you do best– controlling everything and everyone around you! Peace out. (I’d like to extend a big thank you to the 4/5 Challenge Class at SRE for helping me with this column. I hope you liked the finished product!)

Mayor Andy Cook (middle) was presented an award for ‘Most Fit City’ on behalf of the residents of Westfield. Clarian CEO Jon Goble (right) presented the award. Westfield beat neighboring Carmel, represented by Mayor Jim Brainard.

Westfield declared ‘Most Fit City’ Current in Westfield Clarian North Medical Center’s 2010 “Make It Fit Now” Wellness Challenge concluded after 12 weeks of programming designed to encourage those in Carmel and Westfield to build healthy lifestyles. Last Monday, Clarian CEO Jon Goble announced that Westfield beat its neighbor in the challenge, with a higher percentage of its population participating. One per-

cent of Westfield’s residents took the challenge, whereas only 0.3 percent of Carmel residents participated. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard lost a bet to Westfield Mayor Andy Cook as a result, and he will have to bike north to deliver Cook lunch, which Brainard said may be a burger from Bub’s Burgers & Ice Cream. “There’s always next year,” Brainard said.

Grants will provide new equipment at WWPL By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield The Westfield Washington Public Library has received two grants that will improve customer services and expand offerings. Improving customer services is a $6,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Indiana State Library. The State Library awarded 26 grants to libraries throughout Indiana this year, and WWPL’s funds will purchase six additional new computers and replace three wireless access points. “In January, the State Library created some new standards for public libraries, and this grant will help us,” said Library Director Sheryl Sollars. “We already meet [the technology standards], but it will put us in an exceeding level as far as public access computers.” Sollars added that the new computers could be ready for use sometime in June; the wireless access points will be put into service sooner than that. The second grant the WWPL has received was applied for through the Children’s Department and is a We the People Bookshelf grant. The grant is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA), and it includes 17 hardcover titles or students from kindergarten through 12th grade and several bonus materials within this year’s theme, “A More Perfect Union.” The WWPL is one of only 4,000 public and school library recipients

throughout the nation to receive the materials. “The library is very excited about receiving both of these grants,” Sollars said. “It will help us further meet the service needs of the community, which is our goal.”

COMing material The following materials will come to the library as a result of the We the People grant Kindergarten to Grade 3: “Tico and the Golden Wings” by Leo Lionni; “When Marian Sang: The True Recital of Marian Anderson” by Pam Muñoz Ryan; “A More Perfect Union: The Story of Our Constitution” by Betsy and Giulio Maestro Grades 4 to 6: “César: ¡ Sí, Se Puede! / Yes, We Can!” by Carmen T. Bernier-Grand; “Darby” by Jonathon Scott Fuqua; “Eagle Song” by Joseph Bruchac; “The Great Little Madison” by Jean Fritz Grades 7 to 8: “Chains” by Laurie Halse Anderson; “Hitch” by Jeanette Ingold; “Lincoln Shot: A President’s Life Remembered” by Barry Denenberg; “Warriors Don’t Cry” by Melba Beals Grades 9 to 12: “American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic” by Joseph Ellis; “Carver: A Life in Poems” by Marilyn Nelson; “Killer Angels” by Michael Shaara; “Lincoln in His Own Words” by Milton Melzer; “Twelve Angry Men” by Reginald Rose; “The Souls of Black Folk” by W.

I have to question our electric company’s customer service Commentary By Ken Kingshill Maybe it’s my electric personality, but our home energy bill has been skyrocketing dramatically since the beginning of the year. When the January bill came, it was considerably higher than usual. Now, this wasn’t too distressing, because our energy consumption is naturally higher in the winter months. But then the February bill hit and the amount due was double the previous month. This was a bit of a jolt, but I chalked it up to the fact that my wife’s mother was visiting for a couple of weeks. So it wasn’t too farfetched to think our energy usage had spiked during that time. Then the March bill landed and I went through the roof. Shocking! This one was quadruple the January bill. I called customer service. The very nice representative agreed that something wasn’t right. He theorized I had a faulty appliance. He suggested I call an electrician to check out my appliances. Instead, I bought a handy-dandy doodad at Radio Shack that tells you how much energy your appliances are consuming. For the next two weeks, I went around the house plugging various electrical items into the thing and waiting several hours to get a halfway accurate read-

Celebrate Mom! Sunday, May 9th

ing. No luck. About this time I received the April bill. Was it going to double again? Holding my breath, I carefully opened the envelope and peeked inside. Wonder of wonders, it showed nothing due. No attempt at an explanation. There was just a corrected meter reading and a new figure for the March bill – much more in line with what I’m used to. Once the relief wore off and the anger set in, I started to wonder about the integrity of the January and February bills. I called customer service to thank them for the correction and to inquire about those two bills. The lady couldn’t tell me what the problem had been, but she insisted that it was fixed. She put me on hold, ostensibly to summon a supervisor. I’m still waiting. When we told her, my mother-in-law just laughed at us. Apparently, she and her crowd sit and watch the driveway, and when they see the meter reader drive by, they immediately run outside and record the numbers. Who knew?

Let’s make the little things our mission COMMENTARY By Robin Chaddock It seems that we human beings care a fair amount about who we are and why we’re here on the planet. Blockbuster books have been published and snatched off shelves, entire conferences are built around this theme, and small groups have asked the question and explored the answer for weeks at a time. I’m not knocking it, believe me. Part of my livelihood is based on being with people as they explore these questions. But sometimes this picture gets painted that the mission has to be big and grand, and if there is no long-range vision of what life will be like as we live the big and grand mission, we really haven’t “found it.” This mindset does keep things going and moving forward for individuals. We all want to feel like we’re making a unique and authentic contribution. I just don’t want us to lose sight of the mission of living every day in community with each other. Richard Bolles’ wrote a book, “What Color is Your Parachute,” that has sold millions of copies. (OK, yes I’m jealous.) A lesser-known book by Bolles is “How to Find Your Mission in

Life.” What follows is a quote from this wonderful book. “So many times you will see people wringing their hands, and saying, ‘I want to know what my mission in life is,’ all the while they are cutting people off on the highways, refusing to give time to people, punishing their mate for having hurt their feelings, and lying about what they did. And it will seem to you that the angels must laugh to see this spectacle. For these people wringing their hands, their Mission was right there, on the freeways, in the interruption, in the hurt, and at the confrontation.” It’s the little things that make our lives worthwhile in the long run. Pursuing a larger sense of mission is very energizing and can make our lives very rich and full. But let’s keep in the line of vision the understanding that a lifetime of meaning is made up from meaningful minutes, hours, days and weeks.

‘Different than’ or ‘different from?’ COMMENTARY By Brandie Bohney I think there are number of readers out there who may be looking at the title of this column thinking, “Different than or different from? There’s a difference?” Ah, there is. What is debatable is how important that difference is. And to be honest, in one direction, I’m not sure that the shades of grey are very significant. In the other direction, however, it’s important to keep you from sounding like a moron. If you’re confused, read these sentences and try to figure out which one is wrong. Micah’s shoes are different than my shoes This is a very different year than last year. My car is different from I thought it would be. Which one did you choose? The third one? Good choice. But they’re all wrong. Technically, anyhow. Those first two sentences may not sound incorrect to you, and there’s good reason for that: In some circles, they’re considered acceptable (not necessarily correct, but acceptable). Now, I could go into a lengthy diatribe about the reasons those first two sentences are technically incorrect, but rather than imagining the snoring that would ensue, I’ll offer instead a tip for remembering when different from should be used.

Whenever you can reasonably substitute differs from for is/are different from or than, use different from. Take that first sentence: Micah’s shoes differ from my shoes. There you go. Now check out the second sentence: This year differs very much from last year. Both sentences should, technically, use different from. That third example was the one you most likely picked as incorrect. And it sounds awful, doesn’t it? That’s because in the first two sentences, the different than/different from is followed by a noun or noun phrase. When it’s followed by a clause, though, different than is preferable. There’s no trick for this one other than remembering that if it sounds terrible, there’s probably a reason. The reality in American English is that the use of different than instead of different from in circumstances such as the first two examples is common, even among well educated and highly regarded individuals. Still, I think it’s better to use the more widely acceptable version when given such an option. That way, if you’re faced with someone who is a real stickler, you’ll be correct. And correct is different from acceptable. Brandie Bohney is a grammar enthusiast and former English teacher. If you have a grammarrelated question, please email her at bbthegrammarguru@gmail.com.

Teens should be taught consequences, not punishments COMMENTARY By Becky Kapsalis Consequences and punishment are not the same thing. Rewards teach teens to get something for good behavior or good grades. Rewards do not teach kids to be cooperative or take credit for their good deeds. It’s never too late to begin teaching kids to be responsible teens. But if we wait until they are teenagers before they understand that using consequences to build responsibility is the appropriate path to emotional freedom, we may have to work twice as hard during their emotional-roller-coaster teen years to get them to make better choices. Punishment teaches our teens to resent and fear us. Sometimes it’s not all bad for them to be afraid of us – if it keeps them out of harm’s way. But for the most part, it can hurt the relationship we want to have with them. Punishment often becomes retribution for something we can’t handle at the moment. This is not the teen’s problem and does nothing to get a positive result to the behavior. Threats, intimidation and screaming

are all forms of punishment and may make matters worse. Consequences, on the other hand, provide the bridge between a result and its cause. Consequences are a better approach for teaching our teens what is acceptable or not within our family limits. They also help teenagers take charge of their own lives by making better decisions. Consequences should always fit the behavior. Sending a teenager to his/her room for missing curfew has little effect on what we want them to learn. Instead, create a new curfew time – deducting the amount of time he/she was late. You might even ask what your teen feels would be an appropriate consequence for his/ her inappropriate behavior. You may be pleasantly surprised at the answer. Hugs! Becky Kapsalis. aka YiaYia (pronounced Ya-Ya.) is a certified parenting advocate and child behavior coach.

Previous cast returns for new production in Westfield By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield Westfield’s resident community theatre group, Main Street Productions, opened the third installment of a three-part series of plays last weekend. The show, “Wrinkled Reels,” is the follow-up from last year’s highly successful run of “Wrinkled Rebellion.” It’s the third in a series of shows written by Rob Schnitzius, a retired resident of Brownsburg. Several of the characters from “Rebellion” are present for “Reels,” some of whom are being played by the same actors this year as last. The show once again takes place in the State Home for the Aged, but instead of an uprising, the elderly residents of the home have managed to get a movie producer to the home in order to shoot a film using a reclusive old movie star who resides there. The movie star expires before the producer and crew arrives, so a male orderly with dreams of becoming a star dresses in drag – very aged drag – in order to fool the director. Bobbi Van Howe directed all three of the plays by Schnitzius. “He writes a good funny script, and his scripts are always open to adding our own schtick,” she said. “These characters just come alive, and it’s so funny. I have had great casts for all three shows.” Also returning to their roles from “Rebellion” are Tom Harnishfeger as Williard Dingle, Kathy Watson as the dippy Nurse Maudie, and Shawn

Sometimes you feel like a nut, some times you feel like … COMMENTARY By Chef Michael Vlasich The word “nut” can have many meanings. Some say I represent the meaning of crazy or eccentric – or “nutty.” Then there is the metal block you thread on a bolt. And another meaning deals with family jewels and, well, we won’t go there. Lastly, there is “a dry, one-seeded fruit, consisting of a kernel, often in a shell.” No matter the season or variety, nuts are a favorite of most people. They provide substantial nutrition to our diets and are a main ingredient in many dishes of American cuisine. They provide color, texture, flavor and crunch, along with chemical reactions that play an important role in the completion of a recipe. Nuts are sold raw in the shell, unshelled whole, chopped or slivered, raw, blanched or roasted. Brines, salted, Cajun-seasoned, or accented with parmesan garlic seasoning – you dream it, and you can probably find it. Whole nuts store better then pieces; they should always be in air-tight containers; and ultimately, they should be kept in the freezer below zero. In America, nuts are everywhere, but about 10 varieties have most of the market share. Cashews are kidney shaped, buttery and sweet in flavor. Chestnuts, sweet and moist, are mostly consumed around the holidays. Hazelnuts (also called filberts) are rich flavored little balls, associated with coffee and dessert. Macadamias are white, crisp and oily and found in the islands. Peanuts are the Native American discovery, and they are the least expensive of all. Pecans, native only to North America, are mostly used

DIVORCE DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN WAR

“Valentines” By Ted Kooser This is a collection of poems about love, sent by former U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser each year on Valentine’s Day to a growing list of women recipients. Kooser started the tradition back in 1986 with his first Valentine sonnet written on a postcard, called “Pocket Poem.” He sent the postcards to 50 women, random and acquaintances, for 30 years until the list grew to more than 2,700. “Valentines” is the compilation of these odes to love, both true and unrequited. From a scene where an elderly couple shares a sandwich to a love song from an owl to a field mouse, these poems will charm readers with their simple scenes of everyday love and friendship. A collection to be cherished on Valentine’s Day or any day of the year. Ted Kooser has won the Pushcart Prize as well as the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. He lives in Nebraska and focuses much of his writing on the landscape of the Great Plains.

‘Sleep hygiene’ an important part of a healthy lifestyle COMMENTARY By Angela LaSalle M.D. Insomnia, defined as insufficient and nonrestorative sleep, affects one out of three people on a periodic basis. With a fast-paced culture and widespread use of stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine, we inadvertently contribute to our own sleep issues. Just as we get our children ready for sleep with the bedtime routine, adults can also benefit from developing a series of pre-sleep habits otherwise known as “sleep hygiene.” Here are some ideas to improve your chances of a good night’s sleep: 1. Eliminate stimulants. Caffeine, nicotine, decongestants, pain medications and certain prescription medications can all contribute to insomnia. It takes up to eight hours for the effects of caffeine to wear off, so consider weaning caffeine completely. Don’t discontinue or change doses of prescription medication without checking with your doctor. 2. Set a consistent bedtime, even on your days off. This helps the body regulate its sleep clock. Turn off the TV and computer at least 30 minutes prior to your bedtime, and allow some quiet relaxation time before bed. 3. Avoid exercising or stimulating activities

before bed. Taking on detail-oriented tasks before bed can keep our brain in active mode, and exercise causes an upswing in stimulatory chemicals in the body. Keep in mind that exercising earlier in the day actually helps sleep. 4. Avoid alcohol. Having a nightcap in the evening can actually cause disrupted sleep as the alcohol wears off. 5. Adjust your sleep environment. Keep the room cool and dark. Light can disrupt melatonin production, so be sure to turn of TVs, computers and brightly lit clocks. 6. Try a hot bath. The drop in body temperature after the bath mimics the temperature drop that happens as we fall asleep, and may induce the body’s sleep mechanisms. If you’re still struggling with insomnia after paying attention to your “sleep hygiene,” it’s time to visit with your doctor. He or she can help by reviewing medications, assessing for hormonal or other medical issues, consider a sleep study and help with treatment options. Angela LaSalle, M.D. practices integrative medicine with the Indiana Health Group in Carmel and is board certified in family medicine. For more information, visit, www. angelalasallemd.com.

Relax your mind with Trager! COMMENTARY By Sally Feldman Most people forget what it is like to be really relaxed. So many of us are in a state of tension that we forget what complete body comfort is actually like. The Trager Approach reintegrates the mindbody connection by using different tools including gentle rocking, coaxing elongations and soft compressions by the practitioner. It reintegrates feelings from the body back to the mind and helps you to learn to take a breath in your hectic life. With ongoing sessions it allows you to be more aware of your need for a quieter mind. This technique was developed in the 1920’s by medical doctor, the late Milton Trager, and was created as an effort to release his own congenital back condition. He spent years developing his exercises and techniques, and is highly celebrated for his unique contribution to the massage industry. The Trager Approach may be performed in a chair, on a couch or a table. A session typically lasts from 20/40 minutes to one and a half hours. The client wears underwear or light,

loose clothing and lies on a padded table in a comfortable environment. This effective method of massage has been reported to ease or help manage a wide range of conditions including: stress, back and neck pain, limited movement, muscle spasms, headaches, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, post-polio syndrome, cerebral palsy, physical/emotional trauma, sports and other injuries. The Trager Approach brings presence and awareness by continuous communication between the client and practitioner. Effortless rocking-like movement reminds the client of when they were babies. Being rocked is soothing, and, as you recall the origin of your relaxation, you reteach yourself to calm down. Find a practitioner in Indiana by checking out www.trager.com. Go! Fight! Win back your health Indiana. Let the massages begin. Sally Feldman is a certified massage therapist and a member of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals.

Kitchen overhaul produces fantastic results

COMMENTARY By Larry Greene INITIAL SITUATION: This home in the Windemere development on the west side of Carmel included the builder’s original kitchen with pickled wood cabinets and outdated white appliances. While the total footprint of the kitchen was large enough, the homeowner wanted a new and better island configuration and also wanted to bring everything up to date. DESIGN PHASE: The design phase focused on the new island redesign and the selection of the new cabinetry and other materials. Custom cabinets were chosen because of the quality of the finishes and the durability of the box construction. The new island was inverted so that an awkward open space was better used. The designer also redesigned the adjoining spaces including the hearth room and the breakfast nook. PROJECT SCHEDULE: The design phase for the kitchen remodel included the creation of several new floor plans. These were presented to the client in 3D views on to a large 65” monitor to help the homeowner visualize the new design schemes. The design phase lasted four weeks, while the construction phase spread out over approximately six weeks. FINAL PRODUCT: The perimeter cabinets were upgraded to full overlay custom cabinets in a designer white color with a brown highlight. All drawers have dovetail construction with Blumotion soft-close drawer glides. The new perimeter cabinets were redesigned to extend all the way to the ceiling. The island cabinets are also full overlay custom cabinets in premium alder

BEFORE with a chestnut colored stain with a black highlight. The island countertops are Delicatus granite with a raised bar top area with a standard eased edge. In addition, the fireplace surround in the adjacent hearth room was also remodeled with new raised wainscoting panels to match the new island cabinetry. The tile flooring was replaced with new prefinished oak hardwood flooring with a distressed and hand-scraped finish. The new lighting included new under cabinet lighting and new pendant light fixtures above

AFTER the island. Finally, a new subway tiled stone backsplash was added, and the walls were repainted in a nice neutral color. Larry Greene is owner of Case Handyman & Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@caseremodeling.com or call 846-2600. Visit www.caseremodeling.com for more information.

Facebook keeps pages for the deceased, too COMMENTARY By Gary Hubbard When I first heard there was a way to have a Facebook page for the deceased, I thought it was crazy. As I started to better understand why, it started to make more sense to me, so I thought I would pass along the information to you. One of the unintended benefits of having a Facebook page is that when one passes on, a very detailed and wonderful memorial to that person will remain. Not only are there all the memories from the person who has passed, but all of the thoughts and comments from the friends of the deceased also remain for others to share. Facebook created a process that allows family members to notify the company that the user has passed away and to convert the profile into a “memorial” page. According to Facebook, “Memorializing the account removes certain sensitive information and sets privacy so that only confirmed friends can see the profile or locate it in search. The wall remains so that friends and family can leave posts in remembrance.” To notify Facebook of a deceased person’s profile, you can fill out the form located at

http://bit.ly/bNDLca, but you will need some information that may require you to do some homework first. Obviously, Facebook has to balance the need for loved ones to report a passing with pranksters who think it would be funny to report a living person as deceased. If you find yourself in this situation, you will be asked to provide the full name used on the profile, the date of birth, the e-mail address used to set up the account (you may have to take an educated guess), Facebook networks that the

deceased may have belonged to, the actual Facebook URL (Web address) for the deceased’s profile, your relationship and any online proof of the passing (such as an obituary or news story). When a profile is memorialized, certain things are removed by Facebook at its discretion, and the profile is locked down from any future “friends” to connect. While this policy is intended to respect the privacy of the deceased, it sets up a problem for those who did not connect prior to the profile being converted. Facebook isn’t the only social network that can become a memorial to a loved one, so some interesting new services have appeared on the landscape. One in particular, Backupify (http://backupify.com), is an online backup service for social media and other Internet-based personal data that was supposedly created as a result of the death of someone close to one of the founders.

DISPATCHES » The bruise combo – Black shoes can most definitely be worn with a blue suit. But it depends which blue. Sky blue and hues all the way to teal and French blue (none of them a good idea anyway) call for something different, like a lightbrown shoe. Navy, however – the default setting for suits – is perfect for black or brown shoes, right up to a pale tan if you're brave. Or from Naples (Italy or Florida). The motto is, “choose your suit first, then buy the shoes.” - www.esquire.com

Words of wisdom from the trenches Commentary By Vicky Early The unexpected side benefit of 10 hours in a van headed for a buying trip at the High Point mart is the bounty of ideas and tips that come our way. I have complied tid-bits of wisdom that decorators and designers do without thinking, as well as insight from major names known in the design industry that have been published by various sources. “Neutrals are peacemakers. They help the colors get along.” (I overheard this line being said by a furniture showroom representative at High Point.) “Furnish your room for conversation and the chairs will take care of themselves.” – Sibyl Colefax “Get out the digital camera and take photos of your room. You will see problem spots in a photo that you would overlook just observing the space.” – Cindy Thomas, Artichoke Designs general manager “Store fabric, wallpaper and paint swatches in a notebook, binder or pencil pouch, so they’re handy when you shop. To visualize your scheme, cut fabric swatches relative to the size they’re used in the room-large ones for curtains, small ones for pillows.” – Judy Bates, ASID, Artichoke Designs

“Furnish your room for conversation and the chairs will take care of themselves.”

– Sibyl Colefax

“Put things in context. If it’s a fabric that’s going on a horizontal surface, look at it horizontally. If it is vertical, look at it vertically. Whatever it is, step back six feet and look at it from a distance. Looking at a fabric or a rug six inches from your eye is totally different than seeing it as you step into the room.” – Unknown “Don’t sweat the small stuff when it comes to color variations. Slight differences are the key to interest and layers while a dead on color match can create a flat feeling.” – Vicky Earley, Artichoke Designs “Taste is a sharpened eye for the beautiful, the interesting, and the unusual, coupled with the talent to apply all of these to one’s life.” – Eleanor Lambert, founder of the International Best-Dressed List “A lot of people worry about the ‘wear and tear’ on furnishings. I feel it is more a matter of people treating the things that surround them with respect.” – Albert Hadley, The Story of America’s Preeminent Interior Designer “There is nothing more trite than a set period –

any antique period bought intact for today’s living. But, by the same token, a contemporary house that ignores all vestiges of the past in order to express a purely modern philosophy runs the risk of becoming a stagnant document of its own time.” – Eleanor McMillen Brown, Sixty Years of Interior Design “Always make a dark room darker. You can paint a dark room white, but it will still be dark ... give it atmosphere with deep intense color that works well in artificial light.” – Roger Bank of Pye, Colefax and Fowler Interior Inspirations “I never think that sticking slavishly to one period is successful, a touch of nostalgia adds charm. One needs light and shade because if every piece is perfect the room becomes a museum and lifeless.” – Nancy Lancaster, English Country House Style Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in downtown Carmel.

For many of us this color can be a bit too much, however it can still be incorporated in our outfits in a subtle way by adding a skinny turquoise belt to a gray or white dress. A gold and turquoise cocktail ring can also be just enough to brighten your whole outfit. You can also consider adding a touch of this hot color by accenting your eyes with a light turquoise eye shadow.

Begin with a story, not an introduction

COMMENTARY By David Cain When was the last time you heard a live band? When did you watch the raw power of a live performance? What’s striking about a concert is the way the band makes you a part of the show; they bring you into the experience. You are drawn into the music and become a part of their story. People connect with people. They connect with stories and experiences. Everyone looks for commonalities to build a relationship. When you hear a band play, they always start with a story. Often that story is the song itself. When they first take the stage with the smoke rising and the light from behind peaking through their hair, you hear the music. It starts to rumble and roar and then the story begins – the story in the song. You listen to the words and feel the emotion of the lyrics as the sound draws you in. Great songs have lyrics that resonate, lyrics that tell a story that fit you. Great songwriters are storytellers. They are able to use that emotion to draw you in and make a connection. We’ve all heard live performances and seen the band introductions through the performance. Have you ever noticed that they never start with the introductions? You never see the singer open the concert with, “Let’s meet the

band, on drums will be …” It never happens. They always start with the story. It might be an opening bravado of, “I wrote this song when I lived two blocks from here …” or it could simply be an immediate move to the lyrics of the song. Either way, it begins with the story and the connection with the audience. Once they’ve made a connection, then they make the introductions. Businesses can learn a lot from the band. Instead of starting a meeting or a presentation with introductions, why not start with a story? Story grabs the attention of the audience and gets them involved immediately. I’ve noticed with presentations the same is true. If I start with an “about us” slide, the audience dozes. If I start with a story retold like I work in drama, people move to the edge of the seat. Begin your conversations with connections through the overwhelming power of story, and you’ll see a shift in the attention of your audience. Take a lesson from the band, save your introductions for later. David Cain works at MediaSauce, a digital media and online marketing company in Carmel.

MY OPINION

345K

Type: Traditional ranch style with upper level Age: Built in 2000 Location: Near 96th Street and Towne Road Neighborhood: Shelborne Greene offers residents a community pool, clubhouse and playground. Square footage: 3,995 square feet including 1,699 in the finished basement Rooms: This roomy one-and-a-half level home has three bedrooms, an open great room and kitchen combination, two offices (one on the main level and one in the basement), a large upstairs bedroom with full bath, and a main level master suite with walk-in closet, Whirlpool tub, dual sinks and separate shower. The finished basement offers a wet bar, recreation room, home theater, office, full bath and daylight windows. Strengths: This home is all brick with an open floor plan and is handicapped accessible. The private back yard backs to a tree line and is fairly low maintenance. The open floor plan and finished basement provide great spaces for entertaining. Challenges: This home is designed with great space for the two main bedrooms. The third bedroom is best suited for guests or a hobby room.

With the help of a $300,000 Destination Grant from the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau, the City of Noblesville purchased the three-story building south of the courthouse square on Conner Street and restored the façade and remodeled the space. Noblesville Main Street, Inc., an independent, not-for-profit organization working to promote and develop historic downtown Noblesville, is on the second floor. With the help from another $22,000 HCCVB, improvements were made the alley east of the building. The center also provides public restrooms and a meeting/conference space to use for special events, such as the First Friday events, parades, farmer’s markets and the Hamilton County 4-H Fair. Inside, the works of local artists hang on one wall of exposed brick, and two other walls are lined with brochures on local attractions, dining, lodging and parks. The HCCVB will staff the center.

Pet owners: Watch out for bloat in your dog

DISPATCHES » Paws and read – Saturday at 10:30 a.m. is Paws & Read at the Westfield Washington Public Library, when kids can read a story to a book-loving dog. Stop by the Children’s Desk to schedule 15 minutes of special time with a trained listening dog. Reading to a dog increases confidence, generates excitement about reading, and makes learning fun. This is a free program but please reserve a time slot.

COMMENTARY By John Mikesell Every dog owner should know the symptoms of this fast-killing disorder. Bloat is an acute medical condition characterized by a rapid accumulation of gas in the stomach. The more technical name is gastric dilatation, and volvulus (GVD) is a top killer of dogs, especially of deep-chested giant and large breeds, such as great Danes and standard poodles. Gas accumulation alone is known as bloat, or dilation. The accumulation of gas sometimes causes the stomach to rotate or twist on its axis; this is referred to as torsion or volvulus. Bloat can occur on its own or as a precursor to torsion. Both conditions can be life threatening, although it often takes longer for a straightforward gastric dilation without volvulus to become critical. “Bloats without torsion can last for minutes to hours, even days in low-level chronic situations, without it becoming life threatening. But with torsion, the dog can progress to shock rapidly, even within minutes. While some less acute cases of bloat may resolve themselves, it often takes an experienced veterinarian to know just how serious the problem may be and whether surgical intervention is required to save the dog’s life. WHAT YOU CAN DO • If you have a high-risk breed, discuss with your veterinarian the merits of a prophylactic gastropexy at the time of neutering.

» Full protection – Vaccines do not stimulate immunity immediately after they are administered. Once a vaccine is administered, the antigens must be recognized, responded to, and remembered by the immune system. In most animals, disease protection does not begin until five days after vaccination. Full protection from a vaccine usually takes up to 14 days. - www.peteducation.com » Pet behaviorists – Consulting a behaviorist can save you time, money, and aggravation with difficult pet behaviors. Be aware, however, that animal behavior is an unregulated field - anyone can call himself a behaviorist. You're best off choosing a veterinarian who's board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. Outside of veterinary behaviorists, though, checking references is crucial to ensure you’re working with someone who knows what he or she is doing. - www.veterinarypartner.com

• Familiarize yourself with the emergency veterinary services in your area, or anywhere you’ll be traveling with your dog. • Give several smaller meals daily to reduce your dog’s risk. SYMPTOMS OF BLOAT • Unproductive vomiting • Apparent distress • Distended abdomen, which may or may not be visible • Restlessness • Excessive salivation/drooling • Panting • The dog’s stomach feels taut to the touch, like a drum • Repeated turning to look at flank/abdomen • Owner feels something just isn’t right John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at john.mikesell@att.net.

PETS OF THE WEEK Arcee is a 4-year-old female black and white Border collie mix. Arcee is a very sweet girl, and she is highly intelligent too – she knows the commands sit, down and shake. Arcee was surrendered to the shelter in January because her owner had issues with their landlord. They did tell us she is also good with children and most other dogs. She was adopted, but her new owners developed health issues that prevented them from caring for Arcee properly, so she is back with the shelter looking for a forever home. She is a happy girl who doesn’t know a stranger. She is gentle when taking treats and would just be so happy to have a family to call her own Confetti is a 4-year-old female tortie DSH. Confetti is a very friendly girl and gets along with everyone she meets. She arrived at the shelter on Christmas Eve, and though she was happy to be out of the cold, she didn’t have any idea she would still be here four months later. Confetti is spayed and litter box trained and she enjoys human companionship. She would make a great lap cat and a wonderful addition to any family.

Funny you should say that COMMENTARY By Dick Wolfsie I have only dim memories of my college years, but I do recall that I faithfully sent the required letter home to my parents each week. Phone calls were pricey, and the epistle seemed a more sincere way to communicate. (This is the first time I have ever used the word epistle. And the last.) I remember dashing off lines like, “Hi Mom, haven’t eaten in a month, send money …” or “Dear Mom and Dad. Just hypothetically, any thoughts about being grandparents? ” “Hey Pop, Just got my grades. Don’t worry about that expensive cap and gown rental.” Adding “just kidding” after each of my remarks was unnecessary. It was clear to my parents that I was just honing my jesting skills. My father was always asking me, “Are you some kind of comedian?” The answer was yes. Lately, there has been a crisis in confidence when it comes to e-mailing and texting. The reason is simple: We type messages at lightningspeed, sometimes to people we don’t know well. So we want to be 100 percent sure we are not misunderstood. Which is why we clarify our intent at the end of a sentence with little figures called emoticons. The importance of these symbols was made clear by an e-mail I received last week. “Dick, at the start of your column, my newspaper introduces you as humorist Dick Wolfsie. That always makes me laugh. Couldn’t the author have had the courtesy to throw in a smiley face to assist me in interpreting this message? Did he think I was funny – or not? I e-mailed the letter to three people to elicit their opinions and got these responses. Heidi (my editor): Either he thinks you are really funny, or he thinks you’re an insufferable bore. Just sayin’. ‘-) Bob (my friend): Dick, he obviously thinks it’s hysterical anyone would use the same word

to describe you as they would Mark Twain :-(. Mary Ellen (my wife): I don’t think he considers you funny. I understand what he’s saying. -:) I e-mailed the writer, and asked if he would give me his phone number so we could discuss this further. “Tom, this is Dick Wolfsie. I got your e-mail and I’m a little perplexed by what you said.” “Did it come encrypted?” “No, but I am not sure what your point is. You forgot to use those punctuation doodads. They help the reader understand the real meaning of your comments.” “Dick, I do think you are funny.” “Terrific! Thanks.” “Not so fast, Dick. I don’t like funny people. They annoy me.” “Tom, I think you mean: “Funny people annoy me. Parenthesis, dash, colon?” “What does that mean: Parenthesis, dash, colon?” “It’s a verbal emoticon. Just like the smiley face people use in e-mails. That would tell me I don’t really annoy you. You’re just having some fun with me. Right? “Okay, let’s try this, Dick. I read your column each week. Pound sign, infinity sign, dot, dot, dot. “What does that mean: pound sign, infinity sign, dot, dot, dot?” “It means that your article often feels like it’s never going to end. Does that help you catch my drift? This conversation was not going as I planned. So all I could say to Tom before I hung up was @#%^&*$. And I’m feeling really good about that :). Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist, and speaker. Contact him at wolfsie@aol.com.

In my head, I am a professional lounge singer COMMENTARY By Mike Redmond Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Rico the lounge singer. People, Rico. Rico, people. Rico exists only in the depths of my ridiculous imagination. It’s the name I have given to this little voice inside my head that mocks me – persistently and hilariously – when I am at my second-favorite job at the Indiana History Center. I am a historical crooner. That’s what my boss tells me, anyway. I am more inclined to say hysterical crooner, in both in the hilarious and the nervous-out-ofhis-gourd senses of the word. Along with five other Indiana Historical Society employees, all of whom have genuine talent, I spend a few days each month in the Center’s Cole Porter room, as swanky a nightclub as you are likely to find in the 317 Area Code. I do not recall this being on the Kuder Career Preference Test I took in the eighth grade. The Cole Porter Room is the society’s lasting tribute to the great songwriter Cole Porter, who went from a boyhood in Peru, in Miami County, to international fame on the strength of such classics as “Night And Day,” “Begin The Beguine,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “I Get A Kick Out Of You” and dozens of others. He was – and remains – in the highest echelon of American songwriters. I’ve always been proud that I was born in Peru, too, although for some reason his name is the one on the signs going into town and mine isn’t. I’m sure it’s just an oversight. Anyway, the room is decorated to involve a cocktail lounge like you’ve seen in old movies (minus the cocktails, of course, and the drunks). There’s an elegant bar, a few tables. Photos from Porter’s life decorate the

walls. Some personal effects – his Tony award, a leather notebook, a silk handkerchief and the painting that hung over his bed – are displayed. And then you meet the piano – a gorgeous grand with a computer inside, programmed to play Porter songs and to accompany singers of same. This is where my talented young co-workers come in. They’re all terrific singers, with big, expressive voices, sure of pitch and supple of tone. I have no doubt they could all go on to successful careers in music if they wanted. And then there’s me. The days when I intentionally sang in front of strangers are long ago, long before the effects of Camel cigarettes and J&B Scotch began to produce a vocal quality I call “wind through the outhouse.” Imagine Rochester from the Jack Benny Show singing “I Concentrate On You.” Rico, of course, is out of his imaginary mind with disgust: “You call that singing? That’s not singing. That’s a cry for help. “Smooth it out, buddy-boy. Play it cool. Keep the microphone close and whisper. Swing it a little. If you can’t sing, at least act like you can. You might fool someone.” It’s a lot to put up with when you’re trying to remember the words to “In The Still Of The Night.” But there’s an upside. I get to wear a tuxedo. I get to meet lots of nice people. I even got to dance with a pretty woman once. And I get to listen to great music all day long. You should come visit sometime. Rico says do it the others are singing. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O. Box 44385, Indianapolis, IN 46244.

Get moving with answers. Today, Americans are enjoying longer, more active lives than at any other point in history. Yet, as we age, our bodies change and a lifetime of activity and occasional abuse to the shoulder can cause the inability to carry objects, raise or even use the arm. If the pain in your shoulder is severe, it is important to get answers from a joint specialist familiar with the full spectrum of shoulder problems and treatments. Human Motion at Clarian North Medical Center is part of the system upholding Indiana’s only orthopedics program ranked among U.S.News and World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals.” Our integrated team helps thousands of patients each year quickly and safely return to normal function through a leading edge approach to the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries.
