Recognizing community servants By Lindsay Eckert lindsay@youarecurrent.com Firefighters from the Westfield Fire Dept. were recognized for their dedication and service to their community. The event – a semi-annual recognition banquet – was made possible by donations from the community and local businesses. In addition to contributing donations, many members of the community attended the event to show appreciation for the firefighters. Mayor Andy Cook and members of the city council were also honored guests for the evening. “I’m very proud of our firefighters,” said Cook. “On behalf of the citizens of Westfield, I want to say thank you for the commitment and compassion you have for this community. The work you do is so important and our citizens are grateful.” WFD’s chaplain, Dan Klingensmith, was also recognized for his tireless dedication to community service. According to firefighters, Klingensmith is a pillar of strength inside the walls of WFD. Klingensmith’s efforts don’t end at helping firefighters deal with the trauma and stress that come from their jobs. Klingensmith also consoles citizens after a tragedy has changed their lives forever.

Fundraising

Grassroots group vies for dog park grant By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com The City of Westfield has been adamantly trying to create a special place for dogs to play. Sure, there might not be swings or slides, but there will be a dog’s favorite playground: wideopen grass fields. Westfield dog owners, who often have to travel to Indianapolis and the Broad Ripple area, want a park for their furry friends to call home, and so does Westfield Parks and Recreation Dept. Melody Jones, Westfield Parks and Recreation Dept. director, said the project requires money the budget can’t provide, but that doesn’t mean she and other dog lovers have given up. In fact, Westfield citizens created their own organization, Friends of Westfield, to put some bark in Westfield parks and compete for a $100,000 grant from PetSafe. Teens wanted – Be part of the Teen Advisory Group (TAG) when it meets at 3 p.m. May 15 at the Westfield Washington Public Library. We need you to help choose and plan teen library activities. These programs are for you, so come and tell us what you want!

The competition is based on the number of online votes received for each participating city. Westfield lost the voting race for the grant in 2011, but this year they have a backing that could turn a dream project into a real puppy haven. “When information came out about this year’s grant competition, people came out of the woodwork wanting to help,” Jones said. “Friends of Westfield has really taken the project and just run with it to help us raise funds and possibly win the grant.” Friends of Westfield’s call-out meeting was Thursday at the Westfield City Services Building, but it’s not too late to get in on the mutt movement. You can vote for Westfield twice a day, every day, on PetSafe’s Web site, www.petsafe.net/barkforyourpark. For more information about joining Friends of Westfield or helping with fundraising, contact Melody Jones.

Westfield Fire Dept. receives donated pet oxygen masks editorial@youarecurrent.com

The interurban railroad was a fast, dependable form of public transportation used in Hamilton County from 1903 until 1938. In December 1903, the Indianapolis Northern Traction Co. completed 56 miles of interurban tracks between Indianapolis and Kokomo, with stops made in Carmel, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia and Atlanta, Ind. The low-cost transportation was cheaper than driving a car. In 1937, one could travel on the Indiana Railroad System throughout the state for .015 cents per mile. Passenger train service declined steadily in the 1930s as the automobile increased in popularity. By 1938, the last interurban car traveled through the county and all of the tracks were removed by 1941. (Photo by Robert Herrington)

IU Health, School of Medicine announce $150M research collaboration editorial@youarecurrent.com IU Health and the Indiana University School of Medicine will invest $150 million during a five-year period in the Strategic Research Initiative. The project will give both institutions an opportunity to dually collaborate in scientific investigations, translational research and clinical trials that will result in innovative treatments for disease. IU Health, the state’s largest and most comprehensive health system, will invest $75 million in the Strategic Research Initiative and IU School of Medicine will match that with an additional $75 million in resources. The initial focus will be on projects in the fields of neuroscience, cancer and cardiovascular disease. “This investment is further evidence of IU Health’s continued commitment to our mission of clinical care, education and research,” said Daniel J. Evans, president and CEO of IU Health. “Our partnership with the IU School of Medicine and the Initiative’s promise of breakthrough research are essential to advancing patient care.” The three target research areas – cancer, neuroscience and cardiovascular disease – will also study key strategic service lines for IU Health and important medical needs as Americans age and health care costs increase. “Together, our organizations have an uncommon degree of strategic alignment that will contribute to the development of personalized medical treatments to improve patient safety and outcomes,” said Eric Williams, executive vice president for academic affairs at IU Health. The Strategic Research Initiative will provide patients with access to new therapies developed through translational research and clinical trials, www.currentinwestfield.com

and will make use of the latest genetic tools to develop therapies unique to patients, making for more effective medical treatment for patients.

Firefighters from the Westfield Fire Dept. received 10 animal rescue oxygen mask kits through a donation from Invisible Fence of Central Indiana. Fire department personnel will demonstrate how the masks are used on their canine pals. Although the U.S. Fire Administration does not keep track of the exact numbers, industry sources think an estimated 40,000 to 150,000 pets die each year from fire and smoke inhalation. In most states, emergency responders are unequipped to deal with the crisis. This donation of specially designed and potentially lifesaving animal oxygen masks enables firefighters to efficiently administer oxygen to a stricken animal. This donation is part of Project Breathe – a national effort to equip fire stations across the U.S. and Canada with the tools needed to save animals’ lives. Invisible Fence has a commitment to pet safety that extends beyond electronic pet containment and continues to fund deserving projects that help to save the lives of pets.

Philanthropy

Text line offers mental, emotional support for Hamilton County Commentary by Joan Isaac Thanks to a new feature used by mental health professionals, people can use texting to get help from trained volunteers and staff on issues such as depression, stress, relationship problems, substance abuse and suicide intervention. This new service is now available to Hamilton County residents thanks to a grant from United Way of Central Indiana that extends mental health programs and services to us through Mental Health America of Greater Indianapolis, a United Way agency. One of the agency’s main programs is crisis and suicide intervention. Last year, the agency’s Crisis Line received about 5,300 calls on its 24hour hotline from people who were in distress. Shockingly, almost one-third of those callers were younger than age 25. Since almost 5,000 people ages 15 to 24 kill themselves each year, a goal of the agency is to reach more adolescents. Suicide for this age group has tripled in the past five decades, making it the third leading cause of death in adolescents. What’s the best way to reach teens? You can confirm these numbers by simply looking around. But for those who prefer hard data, consider this: three out of four 12- to 17-year-olds now own their own cell phones; 88 percent are texting. These facts compelled MHAGI to add a texting feature to the Crisis Line, making it the 13th such line in the nation to offer text mes-

saging for crisis intervention. The technology is provided through special software designed for public health agencies and is endorsed by the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. People can text CSIS to 839863, and trained volunteers and staff respond using a secure, web-based application and standard computers. Although teens and young adults are the target audience, anyone experiencing a mental health crisis is encouraged to contact the Crisis Line by phone or text for help. Hours for the text line are: Wednesday 6 p.m. to midnight, and Friday through Sunday 9 p.m. to midnight. Or, you can call 251-7575 anytime. If you support United Way, thank you for making it possible for creative agencies like MHAGI to identify and advance the best solutions – like this use of technology – to help people lead safer and healthier lives. If you would like to learn more about ways to work through United Way to get things accomplished in our community, we welcome you! Please contact me (Joan Isaac) at joan.isaac@ uwci.org. I will be happy to explore any number of opportunities to live united! Joan Isaac is United Way of Central Indiana’s area director for Hamilton County.

Plain talk

Spoonfuls (spoonsful?) of sugar Grammar by Brandie Bohney I took my older daughter on a Girl Scout camping trip this past weekend. It was a hoot (a cold, wet hoot). In addition to being a great experience insofar as camping is concerned, I also came across a couple of column topics. This week, the topic is plurals of –ful words. As I sat with my coleader at one of the scheduled activities, we discussed at one point whether or not the girls had cupfuls of cocoa or cupsful of cocoa. Strangely, we couldn’t come to a definitive answer. They both seemed correct in their own ways. Remarkably, upon further investigation, I found that they are both correct. It used to be that the plurals of –ful words (truckful, teaspoonful, bucketful) were always formed – without fail – with the s directly preceding the suffix –ful. Times have changed, however; as I have said countless time in this column, language is a living, fluid thing. Treatment of the –ful words have changed, and adding the s to the end of the word is now considered a correct option by virtually all authorities. Check the dictionary if you don’t believe me. I referenced eight different dictionaries (all

updated within the past two years), and found both plurals present in all of them. What I believe has happened is this: we have changed how we view this type of word. Where we used to see a separate word followed by a mere suffix, we now see an entity all of its own. So instead of pluralizing spoon in spoonful (spoonsful), we now simply pluralize the word as a whole: spoonfuls. That doesn’t make the mid-word pluralization incorrect, mind you. Some people still very much prefer this method of pluralizing –ful words, and they might correct you if you prefer the newer end-of-word pluralization. Some people think the mid-word method seems more formal, and others think it seems so formal that it borders on stodgy or haughty. Either way, you can take your sugar by spoonsful or spoonfuls to make the medicine go down. It works both ways, even if Mary Poppins probably would have turned up her nose at the newer version.

What I believe has happened is this: we have changed how we view this type of word.

Cover story Oak Trace students compete in Future Chef Competition

By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com Miniature “Top Chefs” are chopping, slicing and creating small masterpieces for their elementary school taste buds. The Westfield Washington Schools third graders may not have cooked in front thousands of viewers on the small screen for a show such as “Top Chef ” or “Hell’s Kitchen,” but they were competing in a cook-off in front of an eager audience filled with friends, family and their teachers at Oak Trace Elementary School as they prepared one-of-a-kind recipes as part of WWS’ Future Chef Competition. The competition began with an open invitation for all third and fourth graders to submit recipes that had three characteristics: fun, healthy and easy to prepare. This year, 16 elementary chefs sent in their edible masterpieces, and eight were selected to participate in WWS final cooking round. The eight “future chefs” each donned a chef ’s coat and hat and stood behind the stainless steel cooking tables they see every day while walking down the lunch line. The men and women who usually prepare the food behind those tables stood nearby, as the future chefs’ assistants. Beverly Goza-Holmes, WWS food services director, said watching the contestants prepare their snacks was more entertaining than any TV show. “Their little minds were just working, they were really into it and they were thrilled looking out in the audience to see everyone watching them compete,” she said. “We had a safety lesson before the competition, but after that they were given full reign. You could just see the confidence oozing out of them, and for some, you could see them developing a passion that could ignite a career or something they will carry with them the rest of their lives.”

As small hands nestled in plastic gloves mindfully competed to be the best overall, two brothers were competing to be the best in their family. Brothers Jack and Drew Klopfenstein were two of the eight finalists. The brotherly competition was fun for their family, especially their mother, Abby Klopfenstein, who has had the brothers as her cooking assistants since they were four and five. “I would sit them on the counter and help them measure ingredients and the boys would dump them in,” Abby said. “It has always been a great time to hang out as a family. One of our favorites is making homemade pizza. The boys will decorate their own mini pizzas with faces.” Jack and Drew said they developed their cooking skills from cooking as a family, but also by watching TV as a family. “We all watch ‘Chopped’ on Food Network [a competitive cooking reality show],” Jack said. Jack and Drew agreed watching shows such as “Chopped” and cooking as a family helped them put new twists on classic recipes such as popsicles, for which Drew earned *second place for his yogurt popsicle Second-place finisher Drew Klopfenstein shows off his yogurt pop recipe.

Future Chef Competition finalists: • Brylee Stubbs – salad pockets • Jack Klopfenstein – cinnamon apple nachos • Nicole Adams – crazy cool caterpillars

• Aria South – fruit delight • Jaala Berry – veggie flowers • Shelby Lynch – fruity rice cakes

All eight participants were honored last Tuesday at Westfield Washington Schools’ board meeting, where each judge and student received a cookbook of all the recipes. To view more photos from the event, including the students’ decorated tables and their finished recipes, and to read the recipes for their snacks, visit currentinwestfield. com. Although judges thought the refreshing and healthy snack was a favorite, Drew said he was more than surprised. “I thought I got second to last, I was confused and every time they called my name to get my second place medal everyone kept looking at me with a happy face, and I kept thinking, ‘Why is everyone looking at me,’” Drew said. Not only did Drew’s snack catch the attention of the judges’ taste buds, but also his display table put judges’ minds in a vacation full of surf and turf. Each finalist was required to display their snacks at their own table, where judges stopped to make their decisions. The table displays were designed to tie in with their respective recipes.

Drew’s table looked like the perfect spot for a lounge chair and a drink topped with an umbrella. But unlike most beaches, Drew’s beach was edible. “I crushed graham crackers to make it look like sand,” Drew said. Goza-Holmes said programs such as Future Chef not only make for a fun event, but also teach students safety, healthy eating and even math, all while they’re having fun. “We required the recipes to be easy to make, because we want students to be able to make their own after-school snacks. It’s healthy for their bodies, it’s healthy for their confidence and it’s healthy for their minds to know what they can accomplish,” Goza-Holmes said. www.currentinwestfield.com

Editorial Our Currentoonist? Yep, No. 1 in state

Political Noise Pollution It is our position that negative political campaign advertising is a counterproductive use of time, money and the attention of the voting public. As Election Day nears, the airwaves are filled with a cacophony of harsh-voiced accusations. Television images project defaced candidate caricatures as a flood of postcards fill mailboxes with negative messages. All this finger pointing just seems to be creating a big obnoxious cloud of political noise pollution. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions churning the negative campaign machines that are producing all the smoke and mirrors. Are registered voters expected to go to the polls with the mindset of, “Who are we voting against today?” Just as we have a right to vote in this country, we also have a right to clear and concise positive messages from those seeking political office. Voters want and deserve to know what these candidates “can” and “will” do for their constituents, as opposed to casting a vote because another candidate “didn’t” and “won’t.” Give voters credit. Give voters good information. Give voters; eyes and ears a break. Get rid of the political noise pollution and let voters breathe easily during election season.

Beating a point

Commentary by Terry Anker

Recently I found myself at the table when a particularly vociferous disagreement erupted between two thinking and engaged folks, each with their own particularly impassioned views on life and the body politic. As personal insults were exchanged, it reminded me of the only physical beating ever to take place on the floor of the U.S. Senate. In May of 1856, a member of that august body, Charles Sumner, had laid out a blistering attack on supporters of the U.S. system of chattel slavery including remarks directed in personal offense at Senator Andrew Butler. Some supported Sumner’s then-considered uninformed and radical point of view, while others did not. Regardless of the value of the discourse, Butler’s nephew, a member of the House of Representatives, believed that a line had been crossed and took it upon himself to enter the Senate chamber and promptly beat Sumner. Opinion about Butler’s escalation of the matter was varied. As one might imagine, supporters of Sumner’s standpoint were outraged,

while those looking at it from Butler’s position found his move not only justified, but also minor in comparison to the transgression attributed to Sumner. Regardless, the attack had a chilling effect on discourse in the Senate. Sumner’s desk sat empty for three years as a reminder of the dangers of taking an unpopular stand – or in contrast, as an example of the importance of martyrdom. The use of harsh and intimidating language is today, and perhaps has always been, a part of the American discourse. But, is it ever the most effective tool for advancing a reasoned opinion? Our own frustration with our inability to reach consensus with our peers can be expressed in a number of ways. But are angry, dismissive, profane or other postures productive? Should they be a part of our regular discourse?

He picked up his hardware at the annual banquet last weekend and is a happy man these days. Actually, Tim generally is a happy man. He’s also a genius as an illustrator and a sometimes-polarizing cartoonist, and we’re lucky to have him on the team. He thanked us for taking a chance by launching Current and giving him an outlet.

Mother’s Day list

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, I’ve again prepared a “to-to” list to help them orchestrate 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! 1. 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 Creme Pie. I would like to be served at approximately 9 a.m., depending on whether or not I am awake at that hour. The flush of the toilet shall be your cue. 2. 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 see soccer cleats or Barbie’s posse on the stairs, nor do I want to receive any requests for laundry, meal prep or homework assistance. Uniforms are optional. 3. Be nice to each other. Nothing ruins a peaceful mood more quickly than a smack down among siblings. Take your fights outside (unless I am outside, in which case you should go to a

Sure, detailing beforehand how you will spend each hour 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 my expectations will be met, and they know they won’t be in hot water come Monday. Planning the day yourself also takes the guesswork and pressure off your husband.

Humor

Underwear musings Laugh by Mike Redmond

“Semper ubi sub ubi,” read the message scrawled in the back of my Latin book, a greeting from a bored sophomore long ago. “Always wear underwear.” Sound advice, if not sound Latin, and I have always taken it to heart. With very few exceptions (and none of your business what they are), I semper ubi my sub ubi. In fact, I purchased some new sub ubi just the other day and found the experience so interesting that I wanted to tell you about it. This was an online purchase. I do that a lot. Now, I don’t buy everything online, but I figure underwear is one of those things you don’t really have to visually inspect before you hand over your dough. So I went online and found some that looked like they’d do the job. Then the Underwear Company came back at me with an offer: Would I like to enroll in their Underwear Replacement Program and have new shorts shipped to me at regular intervals? Wow. Book of the Month Club, yes. But Underpants of the Month Club? It just doesn’t work for me. For one thing, the interval they suggested – every three months – is too frequent. Underwear doesn’t qualify as old until it starts to develop failures in fabric integ-

rity, also known as holes, or the elastic fails. Boy, I really hate that second one. There’s nothing weirder than having your outside pants stay up while your inside ones are falling down. But just because underwear is old doesn’t mean it’s no longer useful. You wouldn’t want to put it on for date night, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get some wear out of it. The important thing, of course, is that it’s clean. Mom said always to wear clean underwear in case you had to go to the emergency room. She said nothing about vintage. Furthermore, I only have so much money set aside for new unmentionables, and I think I’d like to handle the scheduling, if that’s OK with the Underpants People. I see what they’re getting at. They want us to semper ubi sub ubi, which is fine, and they want us always to have a clean pair, which would make Mom happy, but they want to sell me stuff when I don’t want to buy it. There’s a Latin response for that, also learned from the back of my textbook: Nullus via, Josephus. No way, Jose. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker.

The Bridges of Hamilton County Laughs by Dick Wolfsie I’m not just one of those guys who sits in front of the TV all night jumping from station to station, failing to watch any show for more than a few minutes. I’m not the kind of guy who, just because I don’t see a pretty female or someone getting stabbed in the first 30 seconds, zaps to another channel. No, I am not just one of those guys – I am THE guy. So you can imagine how excited I was when I went to get my teeth cleaned and my hygienist slapped a TV remote in my hand. Imagine watching “Law and Order” while slightly sedated – I could see a re-run and be surprised by the ending! I had found heaven during a routine visit to the dental office. I flipped on the TV, eager to see if my dentist had satellite, cable or dish. I pressed menu and gazed at my choices: Root Canal, TMJ, Bridges, Implants, Teeth Whitening, Tongue Piercing and Dentures. Oh joy! Channels I had never surfed, horizons I had never conquered, buttons I had never pushed. But there was more. Each channel had a submenu: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prognosis and Payment. Movies within movies, stories within stories – a concept made popular by Shakespeare and reintroduced by Dr. Smith. I clicked on “Teeth Whitening: Treatment.”

Frightening close-ups of bad teeth filled the screen; visual effects crawled over the monitor, turning a horrid set of pearly grays into a string of Chiclets so breathtaking I was eager to see who the cinematographer was. I know a good plot when I see one: people who neglected their dental hygiene, destined to follow a path down the yellow-toothed road. My session was almost over, time enough only to surf one more channel. I clicked on “Bridges.” I prayed it wasn’t some soppy love story about loneliness and isolation. No, it was not the Meryl Streep movie. It was the Bridges of Hamilton County. There it was, right on the screen: real people, real stories, fake teeth. I dared not weep, for fear my tears would suggest over-sensitivity of the teeth rather than the heart. As I started to get up from the chair, Dr. Smith bounded into the room. “Dick, I just looked at your X-rays. You have a small spot on your lower right molar. I’ll need to fill it.” And so he did. Dr. Smith is a wonderful dentist. He did a great job filling my cavity. I can’t wait for the movie.

Benefits of annual ‘well-woman’ exams Commentary by Linda Witham It’s become increasingly common for women to put their own health care needs aside while caring for children, working or engaging in other activities. At every age, women should schedule an annual “well-woman” exam that includes preventive health care and guidance on diet, exercise, safety and contraception (for premenopausal women). Regarding prevention, women often have questions or concerns about breast health, specifically screening mammograms, and pap smears. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends annual mammograms beginning at age 40, along with clinical breast exams. ACOG also recommends breast self-awareness – looking for lumps, swelling, change in size or shape, dimpling, discharge, rash or pain. This also may include monthly breast self-exams. Women should report any changes to their health care provider. Breast cancer, which claims nearly 40,000 lives annually, is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. That’s why it’s important to talk to your doctor about your personal risk (based largely on family history) to see if you should consider enhanced screening, such as an MRI or gene testing. Each year, there are more than 12,000 new

cases of invasive cervical cancer, and more than 4,000 women die from this disease. Many women are surprised to learn half of diagnosed cervical cancers are late-stage, correlating with lack of screening, particularly in older women. Historically, it was recommended women have annual pap smears to screen for cervical cancer; however, ACOG changed its recommendation to every two years beginning at age 21 and every three years starting at age 30. Your doctor will likely recommend more frequent testing if you have certain high-risk conditions, such as human papilloma virus infection or a history of abnormal test results. Persistent HPV infection is the condition that causes cervical cancer. Pap smears can include HPV testing; ask your doctor for more details. For today’s busy women, there are never enough hours in the day. Remember to take some time out to get a “well-woman” exam. It’s one of the best ways to maintain and improve your health for years to come. Linda Witham is a nurse practitioner specializing in women’s health.

Wellness Pregnancy is OK after tummy tuck HEALTH

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: Can one have a face-lift without any visible scars in front of the ear? I have darker skin and like to wear my hair back and up. I am worried that someone may be able to see the scars running down in front of my ears. I need a mini-face-lift, but many results I have seen show the scar in front of the ear. A: All face-lifts create incisions on the front part of the ear, but where the incisions are made determines how visible the scar will be. Most plastic surgeons place this incision behind the tragus (bump of cartilage in front of the ear canal) so the final healed scar is virtually undetectable. A few others, particularly those trained only in mini-face-lift technique, place the incision in front of the tragus so the scar can be potentially detected no matter how well it heals. The latter approach is simpler and makes the operation faster, but it does not lend itself to a better scar result. Q: I am 21 years old and have lost 65 pounds during the past two years, which has left me with a lot of excess skin and an overhanging abdominal apron. I have been researching tummy tuck surgery to remove it. My main concern is, if I get pregnant in the future, will the tummy tuck scar interfere with my belly stretching during pregnancy? A: There is no problem with becoming pregnant and having children after a tummy tuck.

This is not a rare occurrence at all. The slow stretch of tissues during pregnancy easily expands the abdominal skin. Since you are young and have never had children (and likely will), the muscle should not be tightened during your tummy tuck â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only the overhanging skin and fat should be removed. This will make a dramatic change in your waistline and provide years of feeling better about your body.

DOUGH

Business

Overcoming the fear of flying Business by David Cain I hate to fly. Strong words, I know, but being in the air scares me more than just a little. I always get to meet people when I fly. They aren’t really looking to meet me, but my clutching of the armrests on takeoffs, landings and any rough in-betweens always attracts their interest. The interest isn’t one of wanting to get acquainted, but instead, they glare like I’m a crying 6-month-old ruining their flight. I have to talk to get my mind off the flying. When you think about rational things, your emotions tend to loosen their grip. I know when I feel my emotions, in the air or at home, they start to take over. When I force myself to think, I become rational, even if it is just working a math problem or talking about where you’re from. Thinking makes us more rational and makes us all different than other animals. When the plane touched ground, the tension drained and exhaustion became my norm. I sat down in Chicago to wait for my next flight. It was a rainy day. As I sat watching people come and go, there were a lot of people running. There was also a big line at the gate ticket counter. Two women in separate lines were crying. Delays. The first woman walked away sobbing. I started thinking about the demeanor of an airport as storms move across the nation. Planes are late and flights are missed; people’s lives are

disrupted. Pilots, passengers, gate attendants alike. Disruption. But for these women, I couldn’t help thinking things are never as big a deal later as they seemed at the time. This day would be a blip on their radar. It would quickly and neatly be archived as soon as it ended. I returned home on time with two things to consider improving. The first, always remember rational thinking can trump emotions. It’s the surest way to diffuse emotionally charged situations. The second, things are never as big of a deal later as they seem when you are dealing with them. I think I’m not only ready to fly again, but I’m also ready to tackle daily problems.

Oreo bark

Commentary by Ashley Phipps

Oreo cookies are one of my weaknesses, and Oreo Bark is oh-so-yummy! I made this on a whim the other day (an experimental recipe at the time) and brought it to a party with me. I got a lot of compliments on it, and it was so simple that I was almost embarrassed to share my “recipe.” This is so simple that it hardly constitutes a “recipe,” but here goes: Oreo Bark Ingredients: • 18 Oreo cookies (I like “Double Stuf” ones, but regular work fine, too) • 1 bag white chocolate chips Directions: 1. Line a 9-by-13 pan with wax paper. Be sure to leave some paper hanging over the edges of the pan – this will come in handy later. 2. Coarsely crush 15 Oreos. 3. Carefully melt the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl in the microwave at 50-percent power for 10 to 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between heatings, until the chocolate is melted. Be careful not to overheat. 4. Let the chocolate cool in the bowl for a few minutes. Careful, the bowl will be quite hot. 5. Add the crushed Oreos into the chocolate Fro yo – A frozen yogurt craze seems to have hit Hamiton County. If you feel a sudden craving for this treat, but don’t have time to make it to a shop, try freezing your own yogurt, adding sweetener and toppings as you’d like! - sunset.com

and mix gently. 6. Pour the mixture into the lined pan and spread until smooth. 7. Coarsely crush the remaining three Oreos and sprinkle them on top. 8. Let the mixture cool completely then lift it out of the pan by grasping the edges of the wax paper. 9. Break the bark apart using your hands or a fork. And the most important part ... enjoy eating this yummy yummy treat! Happy baking!

Spirituality Demons, redemption and perfection LIFESTYLE

Spirituality by Bob Walters

I read a lot, see a lot, possess an impressive (some would say annoying) mental stash of utterly useless but infallibly entertaining (at least to me) information, keep up on current events and generally feel very informed. But upon hearing the news of Thomas Kinkade’s death April 6, I was floored to find out that this wildly popular artist whose serene, lightinfused paintings seemed to have been around most of my adult life was a) a committed Christian believer, b) actually a couple years younger than me, c) a multimillionaire and d) an alcoholic who died after a night of hard drinking. I had no idea; I couldn’t believe it. Reaching further back in history, I was in journalism school (Franklin College, ’76) during the Nixon Watergate scandals. Back in the 1970s, Chuck Colson, a Christian leader who died April 21, was just another name on a long list of Watergate miscreants whose fierce pride, misplaced loyalties and blind political will helped animate one of our nation’s great, sclerotic meltdowns of cynicism, incivility and civic malfeasance that left a lasting taint on the public’s trust of politicians and journalists. When Colson “got religion” in 1973 after being arrested, I didn’t believe it. And when, after seven months in prison for his Watergate shenanigans, Colson founded “Prison Fellowship Ministries,” I skeptically didn’t believe or

trust that either. Kinkade’s and Colson’s lives are both superlative examples of what lives in Christ can look like. How often those lives are not what we expect, nor easily accept. Kinkade was a ’70s-vintage California hippie who found his faith in Christ while in art school. In his own words, he made it his life’s work “to portray a world without the fall.” It is a stinging irony that Kinkade could paint beautiful images of a world untainted by sin and corruption, while demons dragged him into a bottle. That makes a lot of people doubt God really exists, because “God wouldn’t do that” to Thomas Kinkade. In Colson’s 35 years of committed Christian service, his worldwide prison ministry left a positive effect on thousands of the least and the lost. Further, Colson’s theological and intellectual depth made him a leading, loving, lucid voice of Christian evangelism. Yet because of his Watergate woes, some think, “God wouldn’t want him.” Cynics need to pay close attention to Kinkade and Colson. God’s glory shined through both of their imperfect lives thanks to a perfect redeemer in Jesus Christ. That’s something you can believe.

Speeding up Firefox

Technology by Ken Colburn About a year ago, I heard you guys mention having a couple of browsers on a computer, so I installed Firefox. My Web browsing has gotten horribly slow these days. By the way, I installed Chrome and everything loads fine. Should I assume I picked up a virus that affects Firefox? - David There are a number of reasons for having multiple browsers on your computer (Windows or Mac), one of them being so you can more easily troubleshoot Internet issues. It’s certainly possible that you have a malware infection, but I’m more likely to guess it’s something else since Chrome is running fine. One of the reasons so many people like Firefox as their primary browser is because of all the add-ons that are available to customize your browsing experience and enhance security. Unfortunately, this wonderful feature is also a large reason why many Firefox users experience performance issues. Just like with your computer, if you load it up with tons of programs and utilities, it will take forever just to get started and it can be sluggish in use as it tries to juggle all the code added by

the add-ons. Taking the Zen approach to computing (minimalism) will go a long way toward keeping your computer and browser from getting stuck in the mud, so always be picky about what you allow to be installed. The easiest way to test this theory is to try starting Firefox in ‘safe mode,’ which tells it to open a session with the bare minimums, which will strip off all your add-ons. To do this, open Firefox and click on the ‘Help’ menu and select ‘Restart with Add-ons Disabled’ (if the text menu is not at the top, tap the Alt key to expose it). When the ‘Firefox Safe Mode’ window pops up, don’t click on any of the boxes, just click on the ‘Continue in Safe Mode’ button at the bottom to begin your test. If everything speeds up again, you will know one or a combination of the add-ons is causing the performance issue. You can manually disable your add-ons one at a time to track down the offending add-on by hitting Ctrl-Shift-A, (Shift-Command-A on Macs) which will open the Add-ons Manager. Make sure you disable everything (one at a time) in the Extensions, Appearance and Plugins sections, as they all contain add-ons that

could be causing your issue. It’s a tedious process, but unless you are willing to throw all your add-ons out and start over, it’s the only way to track down the problem (welcome to the world of computer troubleshooting!). If running in Safe Mode didn’t improve the speed, it’s possible that your profile database is need of some optimization, especially if you use Firefox a lot. There’s a free utility called SpeedyFox (http://goo.gl/cWxcT) that will compact your profile database and clean up the corruption or fragmentation that comes from installing a lot of add-ons. If none of that works, your next step would be to uninstall Firefox completely and reinstall it with the latest version from the Mozilla Web site: firefox.com. If you have an older computer or one with a small amount of RAM, it’s possible that you are opening too many tabs at the same time for your computer to handle. You can easily test this by browsing old school: only open one tab to do all your browsing.

LEARN HOW TO MAKE OVER $1,000 IN AS LITTLE AS 4 NIGHTS A MONTH!

Potter spins stone as craftsmanship fades Commentary by Don Knebel Nothing more exemplifies modern India than the call centers my wife and I visited in Bangalore. The jobs are so stressful that break rooms with video games are provided as incentives for people who stick it out for more than a few months, yet young people from all over India apply, trying to gain access to the life a regular paycheck can provide. Not everyone in India is happy with what is going on in Bangalore. On the same trip, we visited a tiny village in which an elderly potter was making clay vessels by the only method he knows. Balancing a large, round stone on a small rock, he spun the stone faster and faster until it had enough momentum to keep spinning while he formed a lump of wet clay into whatever vessel the people in the village needed. Something new had recently come to his village. Connected to a power line strung on a pole

is an old TV set, tied to a satellite receiver that provides the first view the villagers have had of the Indian call centers and Bollywood movies. As a result, sons are no longer content to practice the vocations of their fathers, but want, instead, to go the city where they can earn money and buy things they never before even imagined. Through a translator, the potter told us, with a hint of a tear in his eye, none of his sons want to be a potter. As a result, when he is no longer able to spin that stone, the other villagers will lose their only source for the many things the potter has always provided. Neither he nor the villagers know what they will do when that day comes. For some people in India, the price of progress is very high.

The eyes have it

Pets by John Mikesell

Something is wrong with your dog’s eye. It’s bright red or oozing pus or itching like crazy. Could it be pink eye? This common childhood condition, also known as red eye or conjunctivitis, affects people, cats and our canine companions. Conjunctivitis affects many dogs, and it has many causes. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the tissue covering the eye and inner surface of the eyelid. If caused by bacteria or viruses, it can be infectious. Noninfectious conjunctivitis can be caused by allergic reactions, irritants or trauma injuries. While contagious conjunctivitis is common among cats and children, most canine cases involve seasonal allergies or pollen exposure, injuries like cuts or scratches, or the presence of a small foreign object – anything from a grain of sand to a sliver of bark, piece of grass, tiny leaf or small insect. In those cases, secondary bacterial infections may develop.

The symptoms to watch for are eye redness, discharge, swelling, squinting, excessive blinking, sensitivity to light, pawing at the eyes, or rubbing the face and eyes on floors, the ground or other surfaces. If you think your dog might have conjunctivitis, see your veterinarian. An eye exam can rule out corneal diseases, disorders of the tear ducts or tear production, eyelid abnormalities or parasites of the conjunctiva or eyelids. What you can do: • Check your dog’s eyes daily. • Report any redness, discharge, itching, squinting or other symptoms to your veterinarian. • Use saline solution to flush irritants or foreign objects from the eye. • Treat simple conjunctivitis with herbal or medicinal eye drops. Recurring or chronic conjunctivitis requires an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at john.mikesell@att.net.

Dress Up Your Bob The beauty of a bob is that it's already so simple and chic that you don't have to do much to it. But that doesn't mean you can't have any fun. Add a little braid in the front of your hair. The mini braid can be pulled over to the side so the end is hidden. Not only is the look cute, but it also keeps your hair out of your face. It's such a simple trick, but it instantly makes your bob look trendy.

Bathroom + Sustainable = Healthier

www.CarmelFest.net Sponsored in part by:

Remodeling by David Decker No matter what you call it – sustainable, eco-friendly or just plain green – a modern bathroom improvement project is about much more than being friendly to Mother Nature’s environment. It’s about being friendly to our family’s health as well. An older bathroom is generally the smallest, dampest, most energy-intensive, water-hogging, chemical-laden, smell-trapping, light-starved, material-sensitive, under-ventilated, traffic-jammedup, malfunction-prone room in any home. And while we all are well aware of the virtues of modern low-flow water fixtures, low-energy light bulbs and recyclable building materials, the basic challenges a bathroom presents to human physical and mental health reach far beyond the scope and effectiveness of surface disinfectants, scrub brushes and toilet bowl cleaners. Granted, the more bathrooms there are in a home, the more convenient it is for the home’s inhabitants. That’s a functional as well as a “mental health” bonus. But bonuses are also numerous in the sanctuary and spa characteristics – increased size, natural lighting, steam showers, heated floors, walled-off toilets, serene motifs and beautiful decorating – designed into today’s custom master bathroom improvements. Home improvement professionals are experienced in explaining sustainability options as comfort and health considerations abound. Ventilation alleviates humidity and excess heat, thus preventing mildew and mold, while controlling

various fumes and smells making for a kinder, gentler, less allergic bathroom environment. And a quiet, efficient modern vent fan on a timer minimizes energy use. Construction materials are critical health factors. For example, fiberboards used in some cabinets emit residual formaldehyde vapors from manufacturing processes. It’s better to go with solid wood or wheatboard cabinetry, or in any case consider how potential allergens could affect your family. Tile floors with recycled content and small grout lines are easy to clean and are resistant to mold, mildew and stains. Many caulks, adhesives, sealants and grouts contain inhibiting compounds that prevent mold and mildew, lessening usage of irritating cleaning agents. That prevents pollution and promotes human health. Be kind to the environment, but don’t forget: we’re part of Mother Nature, too. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (317-595-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). Email home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies. com.

INSIDE & OUT

Outdoors

Retrofit makes outdoor spaces more inviting Remodeling by Randy Sorrell Often, tasteful retrofits are designed to expand an existing sterile, underused outdoor living space into a fun magnet. Most of us have some sort of existing patio or deck, but it might simply lack the personality that prompts it to be inviting. Consequently, the sofa sees more action than the patio furniture. As with many exposed aggregate and concrete patios, this one had settled several inches over the years and was too abbreviated for comfort. Dave with AAA Mudjackers (574-1990) was able to successfully level the patio, saving the homeowners several thousand dollars in removal and replacement. Dave has managed several “saves” throughout the years and is nice folk to work with for leveling sidewalks, patios and garage floors. Fun magnet Now the fun begins. The existing patio was nearly doubled in size with a smart design allowing for true red clay pavers to act as the body with a striking blue slate uniform edge. The same red paver was repeated along the sidewalk edge for walkability and drama. The materials married well with the neighborhood, style of home and with the exposed aggregate patio. A natural boulder fire feature and formalized seating wall helps finish the project and confidently delivers an excuse to spend more time outside. Although the seat wall stone is somewhat common, the red clay paver ribbon House and body work – Weeding the garden, washing dishes and cooking may come across as simple household chores that need to be done regularly in order to maintain a happy home.
