Westfield Intermediate students make 2,000 cranes for ailing girl in South Bend By Danielle Turnbull Current in Westfield According to ancient Japanese tradition, a string of 1,000 origami cranes promises to grant a wish, specifically dealing most often with long life and sickness.

Two homes under construction for local families in need By Brandon Bowman Current in Westfield The Hamilton County Habitat for Humanity is in the beginning stages of building two homes that will help improve the lives of two local families. Other lots are being staked out for future projects, with local volunteers and charity as the driving forces behind the projects. “We are always looking for volunteers to help. Since 1990, we have always tried to find ways to help families in the community,” said Habitat Executive Director Nina Maccia. The Thoenix family and the Sanders family will be the recipients of the two homes currently under construction. “They (the Sanders family) have a daughter who is in

a wheelchair because of spina bifida,” Maccia said. “The apartment they live in now is on the second floor, so we are building them a completely handicap-accessible house.” Noblesville First United Methodist Church has teamed up with Hamilton County Habitat for Humanity to help build the Thoenix home. “So far, it has been exciting to see our church at work,” said Pastor Dave Scifres. “Soon they will have a house that they can call their home, and we’re having fun watching it come to fruition.” The homes for the two families are expected to be finished at the end of August.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that the people of Hamilton County are lucky to be served by some of the finest men in uniform anywhere in the state. On May 5, law enforcement and political leaders from around the county gathered to show support for these brave men and women who have put their lives on the line day in and day out to help serve and protect and who paid the ultimate price for their service with their lives. While it can be hard to appreciate police officers as they serve in the daily duties of traffic control and dispute resolution, remember that all interactions are not so commonplace as a ticket for speeding. More routinely, they are exposed to more significant law breakers. They put their lives on the line to make our streets safer. It’s hard to imagine a more noble life. So next time we are speaking to an officer, let’s remember to show them the respect they deserve both for their uniform and for their willingness to make a sacrifice on our behalf. Absent that thin blue line, our lives would be dramatically different -- and not in a way that most would enjoy.

Don't drink the water

It is our position that British Petroleum should have been far more prepared than it seems it was for an oil spill such as the one that followed the tragedy on its Gulf-based pumping platform. While BP is making efforts to clean up the spill, we believe the company’s lack of adequate planning may have contributed to the looming disaster for sea life and our shores. With an adequate plan in place, could the company have reacted more quickly to the disaster? We believe so. The domes that have been put in place to contain the oil should have been built and waiting for such an eventuality. This is not a unique event, and BP executives should have taken all the necessary precautions to contain an oil spill as quickly as possible. However, our federal government must guard against overreaction and throwing fuel prices back above the $4 mark. Consuming resources is a messy (but profitable) business. Care must balance cost. But likewise, cost must balance care. Make BP pay the price, as appropriate, but do not summarily harm the larger industry in some retaliatory strike against big oil or for the radical left.

Reading is fundamental

From the backshop Please help us help family First Merchants Bank has joined Current to raise money for the survivors of Rick Schoolcraft, 52, the former Carmel High School groundskeeper who died May 8 in the wake of a horrific lawnmower accident on the grounds of the high school. He was taken to Wishard Hospital with severe burns, which proved too much to overcome. The well-liked Westfield resident leaves behind a wife, two sons and two daughters. Hamilton County residents are phenomenal at coming to the aid of fellow citizens in need, and this presents another chance. First Merchants will make the first deposit in a fund it is launching to benefit the family. Our deposit will be next. We encourage you to give to the Rick Schoolcraft Donation Fund. Every dollar will matter. You may do so at any First Merchants branch. Please help. ••• Sit down. Here’s a quote from President Barack Obama regarding the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan and her role in campaign finance law: “…because in a democracy, powerful interests must not be allowed to drown out the voices of ordinary citizens.” Is he serious? ObamaCare? The

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg unions? It’s time to take down the “powerful interests” of our very own government. ••• Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) spoke in December 2006 on national housing policy. Three weeks after making his speech at the Treasury Department, Frank became chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. Said Frank at that time: “I’m pretty good with words, but I’m not so good with things. I’ve had a lifelong struggle with things. And the less I am responsible dealing with them the better off everybody is.” Good thing the committee “only” had a massive paw in “things” like regulatory reform, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the housing bubble, among other crises.

How can that be? I understand that many Americans choose to read periodicals, newspapers and Web sites. In fact, the bulk of my reading is done that way. But can we be wellrounded without the book? What is it about reading that puts us so ill-atease? I don’t believe we have become so lazy as a society that we can only digest information that has been heavily processed by the good folks from Hollywood. Even more concerning, do we really want to become a nation of chirping sparrows hungrily consuming all that is spewed by the reigning prophets of the day – regardless if Beck or Blitzer, Maddow or Matthews? What happens when we outsource our thinking? Books require thought. They demand processing. Encourage their use. We’ll all be the better for it.

COMMENTARY By Terry Anker Founded in 1966, RIF is the oldest and largest children’s and family not-for-profit literacy organization in the United States. But I mostly remember it as an incredible advertising effort from the 1970s. (Do you remember “Reading Is Fundamental?”) It struck me at the time that it was abundantly clear we should read. And I assumed adults read throughout their lives. In my house, my mother was an inveterate reader: There was always some new tome awaiting a stolen moment upon which to focus. And Dad carried on most of his conversations with me while looking through the local newspaper. Yet I was surprised to learn recently that a very small percentage of us continue to read books into adulthood. In fact, around a quarter of high-school educated kids, once adults, ever read another book. Even more surprisingly, those of us who’ve achieved a college education will note that about 40 percent of us have not picked up a book since that final senior exam.

Commentary By Danielle Wilson My 8-year-old daughter came home the other day in tears. She had just been to her first talent show rehearsal, and the practice had not gone well. At least in her mind. “Our music didn’t work (sob), we messed up on the words (sniffle) and NO (sob) BODY (sniffle) CLA-APPED (all out weeping).” After I gave her some there, there’s and talked her back from the ledge, she elaborated. “The microphone made my voice sound weird, and being on stage made my tummy go wooshy. I don’t want to do it anymore!” OK then, quit. But wait, Wilsons aren’t quitters! Besides the fact that she made a commitment, and we try and teach our children it’s important to follow through on commitments, I want her to go through this process so she can gain confidence in public speaking. And who knows, maybe even have fun while she’s doing it. Unfortunately, it’s hard for me to understand her fears, as I am a closet starlet (Lights! Camera! Danielle!), though whenever I have to speak or perform (my sister-in-law and I do a killer lounge singer act), I need to do shots of Immodium just to keep out of the pot. But I know that if I can just push through the anxiety, I’ll do more than simply survive the experience, I’ll truly enjoy it. So we’ve talked to her about how feeling like you’re going to vomit is natural; that almost everyone gets nervous before having to stand in front of a big group of people. In fact, the almighty Internet ranks public speaking as the second most common phobia, after the fear of spiders. Her dad, for example, has struggled for most of his life with giving talks and speeches. He dropped classes in college if an oral report was required

and met his public speaking requirement by completing a correspondence class for which students sent tape-recorded speeches in for a grade. Tape. Recorded. Speeches. (And we wonder why our college graduates don’t have the skill sets to compete in a global economy?) His fear of speaking also prevented him from making toasts at his siblings’ weddings and has caused full-blown panic attacks at work prior to meetings in which he was to present. He has only recently been able to conquer some of that fear with the help of beta blockers and behavioral baby-step therapy. (Way to go, Doo!) But I often wonder how he ended up this way and what kinds of steps we can take as parents to make sure our kids don’t follow in his anxiety-ridden footsteps. As of today, five days before the big show, she is back on board with performing. She has to get through a dress rehearsal, which may send her packing, but by that time, her name will already be in the program and she’ll be locked in. Her brothers continue to make fun of her, but as we have pointed out, they are too scaredy cat to even try, so their opinions are poo. More than anything, I want her to enjoy this experience. I would hate for this to be the moment in her life when she decides that she’s never ever ever going to speak in front of people again; that she develops her father’s phobia and misses out. Because I expect at least one of my kiddos to inherit my love of the stage and to provide good quality entertainment at family functions after I’m too old to don a beaded gown and belt out a Barbra Streisand number. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

It's OK to ask for help COMMENTARY By Robin Chaddock You know what annoys me to no end? Asking for help. I guess I believe at my age I should be able to do just about everything needed for living, or at least I should know how to get it done. But I am sometimes intimidated to the point of distraction and fretting when there is something I need to do that I feel will be intimidating, too hard to figure out, or a disaster if I don’t do it “right.” I know I need to ask for help, but I hate it. For instance, I need to travel this June on a military assignment. The travel involves a specific kind of airline ticket, and I had to get it done. I don’t know whether it’s because I think I’ll get into all kinds of trouble if I do it “wrong” or what, but last week it was a daunting task that hung over my head. I fretted and stewed a bit, and then I thought of Janet. Janet is my former next door neighbor from a decade and a half ago, but we’ve kept in touch. Janet is also a travel arrangement wizard, among other amazing things. Why I didn’t think of her earlier, I don’t quite know. But in my mind, Janet can do anything. So I called her, and in 15 minutes she had

me fixed up for my trip. As we chatted in my more relaxed aftermath, I commented to her that I honestly believe there’s nothing she can’t do. She understood that this had been an intimidating process for me, and related to me a similar type of incident for her. Hearing Janet-the-undaunted had been in a situation in which she felt overwhelmed by accomplishing a task put me in a whole new frame of mind. She had been stewing like I had been stewing and when she calmed herself to think things through, she realized she knew someone who could help, called them, and they got it done in about 15 minutes, too. Maybe we really do want to help each other? Maybe we really do want to use our gifts and resources to make things a little easier for someone else? I would like to think so. The giving and receiving would certainly make the community more intertwined – and the fabric of our lives richer and stronger.

A family affair Third-generation builders Jim and John McKenzie build dream homes throughout Hamilton County

» Homes by McKenzie Home Tour May 22, 23; noon to 5 p.m. at The Bridgewater Club, Westfield The nine homes on display will range from about $390,000 to $590,000, Jim McKenzie said. One home is priced around $750,000.

www.youarecurrent.com

By Kevin Kane Current in Westfield This weekend, potential home buyers will have the opportunity to see some unique Hamilton County homes on display, built by an equally atypical home building company. Brothers John and Jim McKenzie started their business, Homes by McKenzie, in 1993. Jim said home building is “in their blood,” as they grew up working for their father and grandfather who achieved success in the industry years earlier. But as they do with their customers today, John and Jim took the blueprint created by their relatives, made their own adjustments and founded a company specializing in creating unique, beautiful houses and providing buyers with their dream homes. Homes by McKenzie specializes in building custom homes, primarily for active empty nesters in Hamilton County, Zionsville and some areas in northern Indianapolis. The company’s homes can be found in several of the area’s most notable home communities, including the Bridgewater Club in Westfield and the Village of West Clay in Carmel. In addition to being in some of the county’s top communities, many McKenzie homes are on or near lakes, golf courses, woodlands and other desirable locations, all for the purpose of serving the active empty-nester niche. “That came about because we saw that that market was not really being served by anyone in Indianapolis,” John said. “Little did we know we were catching the beginning of a big wave.” Decades ago, their grandfather’s business flourished in Lafayette by building homes for rapidly expanding military families after World War II. He rode the initial wave of the baby boom on his way to the National Association of Home Builders’ hall of fame. Now, as many of those baby boomers are entering retirement, their children fully grown, Homes by McKenzie aims to provide them with a dream home suitable for their ideal lifestyles. “For some of these people, it will be the last home they ever own,” Jim said. “If we’re building their last home, we want to give them exactly what they want.” Before building, the brothers meet with prospective buyers and discuss what they want in a home, from unique architectural elements, style and size to lot type and proximity to amenities. The McKenzies create a basic home plan, and then work with the buyers to customize it until the final design is exactly what they want, able to satisfy all of their needs and allow for the specific lifestyles they’re seeking. Nine of those dream homes will be on display this weekend during the company’s home tour. Of the nine, three homes are completed, and the remaining six are at different points in the construction process. Jim said the combination of finished and unfinished homes

Current in Westfield

allows people to see the company’s finished product while understanding and appreciating the quality of work involved before that point. The tour, he said, will show the wide variety of styles and designs in which the company can build. “They won’t show everything that we do, obviously, but it’s a good sampling,” Jim said. The tour will feature approximately half a year’s work for the company, as John said 18 homes is the average number it builds per year. The brothers have created up to 24 in years past, but John said 18 is the company’s “sweet spot,” because it ensures all buyers get more than enough time to get to know the company’s owners. Building more homes could mean a larger profit, but John said it isn’t worth pursuing. Loss of personal connections and perhaps even quality, he said, could be possible if the company grows much more, and that would diminish what makes McKenzie homes different. “If we can do about 18 and do a good job at it, I’m content with that,” he said. “I want to make sure we’re still in control and delivering a quality home.”

» No nuts in bulk – In general, you should try to avoid buying nuts in bulk, unless you're the kind of person who munches on them throughout the day. Nuts usually expire within one to two months.

Singer will Rollerblade Monon for Riley By Susie Chen Current in Westfield Local musician Justin McElhany has played guitar for 10 years, while writing his own songs and singing for the same amount. On June 12, McElhany will perform his original songs while playing guitar; however, it won’t be at a local restaurant or stage. It will be on the Monon Trail. Starting at 8 a.m., McElhany will rollerblade from 161st St. to 10th St., the entire 20-mile stretch of the Monon; over the course of these miles, he will repeatedly perform around 10 of his own songs. The purpose of this event is to raise money for Riley Hospital for Children. The idea came to McElhany while exercising on the Monon one day. He said he had seen and read a few things about Riley, and the idea of giving to the hospital seemed like a good idea. “I’m a giddy musician and whatnot, and I guess I was thinking of a way to raise money to get those kids something nice,” he said. “Those kids, they pull a heartstring. Some of them have been injured for life, and others are fighting for their lives. And I’ve never had to do that. It’ll be nice to try to do something for them.” To raise the money, McElhany is counting on donations from people in the community and sponsorships from companies. Currently, McElhany said he hopes of raising at least $1,000, what he considers to be his short-term

and realistic goal. “The main goal is to raise as much money as possible,” he said. “I would like to raise around $5,000, though that’s kind of like a dream goal right now.” Individuals or businesses looking to donate money for McElhany’s cause can go onto his Web site, firstgiving.com/youngatheartforriley, where the donation will go directly to Riley. McElhany said he is also looking for sponsors to put on the backs of his t-shirts and on the flyers, which he will use to promote the event. Those interested can visit his Web site, justinmcelhany.com, for information on how to sponsor him. “I will do anything, really, for sponsors,” McElhany said. “That’s why I’m doing this. I’m willing to do anything that people normally wouldn’t do. I will come do your dishes even, if you will give money.”

If YOu GO When: June 12 at 8 a.m., starting from Monon entrance at 161st St. and ending at 10th St How to Donate: donate directly to Riley at firstgiving.com/youngatheartforriley or sponsor Justin at justinmcelhany.com

Any way you slice it, you get a bunch of crunch COMMENTARY By Chef Michael Vlasich Not a lot of foods stay crunchy through high heat, marination or shredding. This week’s food of choice has only become part of American pop cuisine over the past decade or two. It is an edible starchy root, originally from the Americas, arriving at our dinner tables via the Philippines and Malaysia in the 17th century. It spread through Asia and the Pacific Islands as a food that stored well aboard the trading ships. It’s a member of the legume (bean) family with flesh, having an underlying slightly nutty, melonistic flavor. The other names for it are “yam bean” and “Mexican turnip.” We know it as jicama (pronounced hick-ah-mah). Jicama was first thought to have become

jicama salad Ingredients: • 1 each large jicama peeled and julienne • 1 cup blanched sweet white corn • 1 large ripe seeded vine ripe tomato • 1 each large julienne sweet pepper • 3/4 each julienne sweet purple onion • 2/3 cup toasted pine nuts • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese • 2/3 cup lime-cilantro vinaigrette • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley • 1 cup small cubed avocado Directions: Mix all ingredients together, adding in the avocado last. Let the salad rest for a minimum of three hours, then serve. (Overnight is optimum, turning first thing in the morning.)

Cocktail

porteree Directions 1. Fill a pint glass 1/4 of the way with chilled porter. 2. Stir in 1 tsp. super-fine sugar or, better, 1 tsp. demerara sugar syrup (made with 2 parts

Kincaid's

Owner, Michael's Family Restaurant Where do you like to eat? "Woody’s Library Restaurant." popular in Central America because of its water content. Legend says during the summer the peasants would snack on it when water was in shortage to get more liquid in their bodies. Even today, you will find the migrant workers snacking on jicama with squeezed lime, chile powder and cayenne. Jicama appears similar to a turnip or rutabaga and is eaten raw once peeled; it is great in salads and coleslaw and is often used as a substitute for a water chestnut. One of its attributes is that it does not oxidize when exposed to the air as do other white-fleshed fruits and vegetables. When used in cooked dishes, jicama tends to take on the flavors of the dish. Only the root part of the plant is edible, as the leaves, stems, ripe pods and seeds may be poisonous. The mature seeds contain a fairly high concentration of rotenone, an insecticide. Jicama is very high in Vitamin C for a vegetable, is low in sodium, and has no fat. One serving, equal to one cup of cubed jicama, has only 45 calories, and it holds for quite a while in the refrigerator. Included is a great salad recipe guaranteed to please. Give it a whirl.

The truth about toenail fungus COMMENTARY By Dr. David Sullivan As summer approaches, many people would like to start wearing more open-toed shoes, but resist because of the appearance of their toenails. There are many treatments for toenail fungus, because there is not a single cure-all type remedy. Some try applying Vic’s Vaporub, while others soak in vinegar solutions. I even had a patient who bored a hole in a lemon and duct taped it to her big toe overnight. Prescription medications have about a 70 percent cure rate, but they come with a long list of potential side effects. This does not cure you of fungus for life, either. Once the medication is out of your system, you are just as susceptible to get the fungus infection again. If you have had a trauma to the nail bed or root, the chances of getting a normal-looking nail again are pretty slim. Topical antifungals have shown mixed results, and their efficacy typically depends on their ability to penetrate the thickened nail. The thicker the nail, the less likely they will work. Many of you may have seen commercials on TV for a new toenail fungus laser. While this laser has shown promise in clinical trials, it is not yet FDA approved for toenail fungus, and many are questioning the 88 percent cure rate that has been marketed by the company that owns the laser. This is also not covered by in-

surance and is in the $800-$1000 price range. Again, if it works you can still get the fungus back just as easily as you acquired it in the first place. The best way to treat nail fungus long term is to avoid environments in which fungus thrives. Fungus loves moist, dark, and dirty environments, such as an old pair of tennis shoes you use to mow the yard. Removal of the infected fungal toenail and a disciplined regimen of aggressive hygiene to the toes along with an antifungal during the regrowth phase of the nail, in my opinion, is the best way to treat the dreaded appearance of fungal toenails.

» Sex and health – Your sex life is affected more by your health than your age, finds a New England Journal of Medicine study. The study showed than people in very good to excellent health are more likely to be sexually active that those whose health is fair to poor, regardless of age. And for those who are sexually active, the study also found that frequency of having sex doesn’t change much as people get older. -Consumer Reports OnHealth

Am I tired, or am I sick and tired? COMMENTARY By Angela LaSalle, M.D. What is the No. 1 complaint from patients in my office? Hands down, it’s fatigue. Ranging from afternoon energy slumps to sheer exhaustion, fatigue is a hallmark of many medical conditions, including a simple lack of sleep to serious, life-threatening problems. Since each of us will experience feeling tired at some point, how do we know when our body is trying to warn us of something worrisome? Are you getting enough sleep – seven hours minimum a night? Is your quality of sleep decreased as a result of hormonal issues, depression, sleep apnea, pain or other factors? High stress levels, overloaded schedules and poor nutrition all factor into our energy levels. Bad habits of heading toward the coffee pot or candy machine for a boost can quickly work against us, causing energy levels to nose dive even further a few hours later. Eliminate caffeine, sugar and processed foods. Bottom line: If you’re not feeling rested after cleaning up your diet and honoring a decent bedtime it’s time to see your doctor. Consider, for example, that anemia, hypothyroidism, blood sugar problems or infections also can cause fatigue in varying degrees depend-

ing on the severity and the individual. Serious medical conditions such as heart disease and cancer can also masquerade as fatigue. Look for symptoms of a few of the aforementioned. • Anemia: Fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, palpitations. • Hypothyroidism: Coarse and thinning hair, dry skin and feeling tired, sluggishness or feeling weak. • Blood-sugar problems: Mood changes, such as irritability, anxiety, restlessness or anger; weakness, lack of energy; and fatigue, lethargy, or drowsiness. It is important to pay attention to other symptoms that might also be present, as these can help your doctor diagnose the underlying cause of your low energy levels. Listening to your body is important. Paying attention to other symptoms that may be presented with your fatigue can help you and your doctor work together to determine whether you are just tired or sick and tired. 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.

Snap decisions shape our judgments COMMENTARY By David Cain As he opened the door, I never expected the six-foot-five heavily tattooed man to be what greeted me. It was a bit startling. He was an intimidating height, and his look was a bit scary. As he began to speak, his voice squeaked. It wasn’t that musky-manly sound from too many cigarettes. Instead it was a high-pitched squeak that cut the intimidating factor in half and took any scary rating down by at least one-third. Now he seemed more funny than scary. Judgments: We all make them. We decide the entire city is like one guy we met on an airplane. We make the decision that the tall Barbieblonde is uppity and only interested in a Kentype, even though we’ve never talked to her. We make decisions solely on appearance. We judge a book by its cover. A large percentage of what we hear is actually based on what we see. Visual clues provide information and form people’s opinions. A picture is worth a thousand words. A thousand words can be worthless without a picture. A picture is more than an image; the visual can overtake what you are saying with text. Think about a Web site as an example. What you say is as much about how it looks as what words are used. You make statements and are

judged based on the look and feel. As you begin to navigate through the site, it starts talking, and the judgments continue. It also applies to everyone in your company. Each time they interact with the world, if people know where they work, they are your ambassadors. How they look and what they say is doing the talking for you, too. Sure, we all know that you shouldn’t jump to judgment. But it’s actually a part of how we are wired. Our brain tells us to find danger and react to potential threats. We constantly scan the environment for anything that looks unfamiliar (doesn’t fit a story in our head) and decide if it is safe or a threat. Those decisions have a lot to do with visual clues. While we don’t live in the wilderness anymore, these snap decisions can be used to your advantage. Consider that visual clues are providing a lot of decision-making tidbits to everyone you interact with. Maybe it’s time to trade in that red plaid polyester jacket for something more familiar?

Challenges: This home backs up to 156th Street, though the large lot and trees help to create a barrier.

An open letter from a parent to a child who misbehaves

Using numbers instead of words is not gr8 COMMENTARY By Brandie Bohney Now that the primaries are over, I feel it’s safe to voice my concern over something disturbing I witnessed during the days prior to the election. I’m not talking about angry words between candidates or closeted skeletons being revealed. I’m talking about homemade campaign signs. I’m not a big proponent of campaign signs, anyhow. I dislike how they junk up the landscape. They’re often cheap and flimsy and just plain unattractive. But the ones produced by the candidates are generally grammatically correct, and that makes them at least tolerable in that sense. But as I drove home to visit my parents and grandmother May 3, I saw a campaign sign that made my blood boil. It also made me wonder how any right-minded (or left-minded) candidate would allow it to exist. On a giant sheet of plywood, a crudely painted sign read, “Polly Pocket 4 Auditor” (name has been changed to protect the candidate and the sign painter; no offense intended to Polly Pocket). When did it become acceptable to use numerals instead of words? Especially in cases where the word being replaced isn’t, in fact, a number? Never. It is not now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be acceptable to use numerals in such a fashion. Using numerals instead of non-

numeric words is not only wrong, but it also makes the user look like a dufus. Yes, a dufus. You don’t run 4 auditor any more than you go 2 the store or feel too full because you 8 like a horse. You can’t say that the boys 1 their soccer game, and I would hope you keep your 6 life to yourself. The problem is bigger than using numerals in lieu of number words because what is being replaced isn’t actually a number. Just because ate sounds like eight doesn’t mean you can use the numeral 8 in place of it. The same goes for for and 4, to or too and 2, won and 1, and sex and 6. (I admit that the last one is a stretch, but I’ve seen it used that way before, so I’m including it.) And just as ridiculous is using numerals as part of words that include a portion that sounds like a number: gr8, 4gotten, 2gether, 1derful. Igh. It’s not cute. It’s not funny. It doesn’t even really save page space (on the sign in question, the 4 was on its own separate line). It’s dopey. And really, you don’t want to be a dufus. And you probably don’t want to be supported by one, either. Because that makes you look like a dufus by association. Brandie Bohney is a grammar enthusiast and former English teacher. If you have a grammarrelated question, please email her at bbthegrammarguru@gmail.com.

COMMENTARY By Becky Kapsalis This is all about you (child who misbehaves). It’s not about what or why you’re in trouble. In fact, for now, I don’t even want to know what you’ve done. Your behavior tells me you’ve got a lot of internal hurt in you – hurts that have been within you for a long time and are beginning to surface in ways you believe are beyond your control. That’s simply not true. You and you alone are the driving force behind your behavior. Everything you do is a choice. All your behaviors are learned. You are influenced by external factors, but not born with – nor forced to choose – bad behavior. As all behaviors are learned, they can also be unlearned! “If it is to be, it is up to me!” Experts have concluded we are all born with self-worth. Nothing or no one can take that self-worth from us. It never leaves us; it just gets away from us during certain times in our development. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can tap into our own self-worth to develop an emotional intelligence that will carry us

through the tough times and catapult us through the beneficial times. But before we can get back to our self-worth, we need to release the hurts that have been storing up within us. Envision a loving cup of self-worth within your body. Each time you are emotionally, physically, spiritually or mentally hurt, your loving cup is compromised into self-doubt. Unless you recognize and release the internal hurt in an appropriate way, your loving cup continues to be compromised until it bursts into uncontrollable and retaliatory anger. If you haven’t noticed, there is only one letter that separates danger from anger. I’ll help you release the internal hurts from your loving cup (one hurt at a time) so you can choose, instead, to fill it with your inborn self-worth, leaving no room for self-doubt! Hugs! Becky Kapsalis. aka YiaYia (pronounced Ya-Ya.) is a certified parenting advocate and child behavior coach. You may reach her at 317-848-7979 or e-mail becky@indyparenthelp.com

» Treating accidental alcohol ingestion – Emergency treatment is necessary for affected pets. If the animal is going to recover from alcohol poisoning, recovery will usually be seen within eight to 12 hours or so. Prevention is, however, best. Be aware of the potential problem and keep alcoholic beverages and medications out of your pets' reach. -www.veterinaryparter.com » When vomiting is a problem – Cats will commonly vomit from time to time, often because they might have eaten something that upset their stomachs, or simply because they have sensitive digestive systems. However, the condition becomes acute when the vomiting does not stop and when there is nothing left in the cat's stomach to throw up except bile. It is important you take your pet to a veterinarian in these cases. -www.petmd.com

Diagnosing, treating and preventing bladder and kidney stones COMMENTARY By John Mikesell Bladder and kidney stones are serious problems in dogs as well as people. These conditions, which are also known as uroliths or urinary calculi, can be excruciatingly painful and potentially fatal. Fortunately, informed caregivers can do much to prevent the formation of stones and in some cases actually help treat stones that develop. There are two types of stones. The first is struvite, which contains magnesium, ammonium and phosphate. These almost always occur in the bladder in combination with a bacterial infection and are most frequently found in smallbreed females. This week, we will discuss calcium oxalate or “CaOx” stones CaOx stones occur in both the bladder (lower urinary tract) and kidneys (upper urinary tract) of male and female dogs. Most calcium oxalate uroliths are nephroliths (found in the kidney), and most of the affected patients are small-breed males. CaOx uroliths are radiopaque, and most are easily seen on radiographs (X-rays). In addition to breed and sex, risk factors for CaOx stones include being overweight, having too little exercise, being neutered and eating a dry-food diet, which contributes to more concentrated urine. Small dogs are thought to be more susceptible, because they drink less water relative to their size than large dogs do. Signs of stones: • Blood in your dog’s urine • Frequent passing of small amounts of urine • “Accidents” in house-trained dogs

• Straining to urinate while holding the position much longer than usual • Licking the genital area more than usual • Painful urination that causes your dog to yelp from discomfort • Tenderness in the bladder area or pain in the lower back • Fever and lethargy. If your dog’s breed has a higher risk of stones, stay alert for signs they may have developed. Encourage your dog to drink water and give him frequent opportunities to urinate. If your dog is prone to calcium oxalate stones, consider switching to a low-oxalate diet with added calcium citrate. Avoid low-protein prescription foods For dogs that are prone to forming CaOx stones, add B vitamins, but avoid supplements that contain vitamins C and D.

PETS OF THE WEEK Boots is a 7-year-old female black and white border collie/lab mix. If you look into this sweet dog’s eyes, you can see her only wish in life is to love and be loved in return. She was surrendered by her owner last year because she was unwanted. So she’s looking for her forever home now, and ideally it would be with someone a little older who isn’t on the go all the time. She is shy and a bit nervous around new people, but with a little bit of patience she will warm up. Boots qualifies for the shelter’s P.A.W.S. (Partnering Animals with Seniors) program, so if you are 55 or older, she will be available for a reduced fee! Sylvester is a 4-year-old male black DSH. Sylvester, aka Sly, arrived at the shelter Jan. 23 cold and hungry, so he wasn’t too upset about coming here and having a warm bed and plenty of food and water. However, he didn’t think he’d have to stay here this long, so he’s more than ready to move out and into his forever home. Sly is a big guy, weighing a hefty 18 pounds, but he is a very sweet boy who gets along well everyone he meets. He will make a wonderful lap cat and a great family pet. For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974 or go to www.hamiltonhumane.com.

DISPATCHES » Up and running in seven seconds – Just how fast do you want your netbook to get up and running? The Ubuntu Light lets you boot up your netbook in a mere seven seconds. It is no lightweight operating system though, being a full-fledged Linux distribution that offers all the relevant tools that come with a desktop operating system, ranging from a Web browser to an office suite, communication and security features and compatibility with thousands of third-party apps. The hardware used to achieve the seven-second boot time is a Dell Inspiron Mini 10v that runs on an 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor. -www.ubergizmo.com » Now you’ll remember – The Remember Ring looks like a typical man’s wedding ring, but it has a thermopile inside that converts the heat of your hand into electricity to power a tiny microchip clock inside. When you order the ring, you specify your wedding date or a special birthday to be programmed into the microchip clock. Every year, 24 hours before the special day, the Remember Ring has a hot spot that heats up to 120 degrees for 10 seconds – hot enough to be painful enough to notice, but not so hot to cause a burn. It will continue to heat up every hour until the specified date, so you’ll remember to get a card and a present. -the-gadgeteer.com

Pay attention to install programs COMMENTARY By Gary Hubbard The computer industry has evolved into a world where virtually every company wants you to install a program that will load whenever you start your computer – generally for the company’s purposes, not yours. Printer manufacturers, digital camera makers, software companies and a whole host of characters are taking advantage of the user’s trust and lack of attention to cause much of the “slowdown” issue we all experience in our computers. The more of these programs you allow to be installed, the quicker your fast, new computer will seem like it is stuck in the mud. Adding to the problem are all the malicious software programs lurking in and around the Internet just waiting for an opportunity to sneak into your computer and silently use its resources in the background without your knowledge. Keeping this junk from building up in the first place will be much easier (and cheaper) than having to clean it out afterward. Unfortunately, too many users get frustrated with their old computer’s slowness, only to make the same mistakes with the new computer and end up back in the same boat within six months. If you make the same mistakes, you will end up with the same results on your new computer. Here’s the No. 1 way to keep most of this junk from ever getting into your computer in the first place: Pay attention! What I am referring to is that dizzying (by design) number of screens that come up when you’re installing a new hardware device or software program. For example, I recently setup a new Windows 7 computer and had to install the printer software for my HP multifunction

printer/copier/scanner/fax. During the installation, I was presented with two choices for the installation: recommended or custom (“for advanced users” to scare you off). The “recommended” option tried to make it sound like it was very important that you have what they recommended for everything to work properly. I always choose the “custom” option, because I am very aware of the sneaky games these companies play. When I chose the “custom” option, the next screen showed the three items that would have been installed had I chosen the “recommended” option. The first item was the actual printer driver software; the second was a quality-assurance customer feedback program; and the third was the Yahoo toolbar (shame on you HP!) But HP is not the only company that is doing this (digital camera makers can be worse), which is why you should always choose the “custom” or “expert” option for anything you install. There isn’t enough room in this column to warn you about every malicious scam that can add to the problem, but above all, if you don’t need something, don’t install it. Stay away from file-sharing sites and pirated software, and don’t click on anything in an e-mail that prompts you for more information or any site that “offers” you the latest version of a program so you can access a video.

DISPATCHES » Yellow living – Wall paint is the cheapest way to make a room feel better. Research suggests that different rooms benefit from different colors. For example, in the 2006 Architectural Digest Home Show, researchers designed three identical rooms – one red, one blue, one yellow – in which people could mingle. The yellow room drew by far the most visitors, and they were the most animated of those in any room. -Money » Flaunting your flannel – Flannel shirts are back, as are other forms of pastoral finery, perhaps reflecting the emerging Gaian green sensibility and harking back to Paul Bunyan, the American Hercules. Their wear requires a body that's either svelte or buff, since tartans amplify heft. Another key to pulling off flannel is looking like yourself. The lumberjack look is so primally masculine that you wonder how the Village People left it out. -www.gq.com » Cover up at the pool – There are a number of fashionable options for atop your swimsuit at the pool or beach this summer. Among them is a kimono-inspired wrap top (shown, Tibi, $265) instead of the traditional pullover style of coverup, brightly colored poncho-style covers, and belted styles with empire waists.

The ‘little black dress’ of decorating Commentary By Vicky Earley There is no argument against the idea that the little black dress is a fashion icon. Combined with a scarf and sweater, the little black dress is a casual standout. Later in the day, that same dress – dressed with pearls or diamonds – is an elegant sensation worthy of an evening out! Interior design, much like fashion, can benefit from that same “little black dress.” In an interior setting, that little black dress could be an oyster-colored sofa; it could be a brown sectional; or it could even be a pair of black settees! The key is a focus on solid color and an awareness of texture. I knew we had achieved the “little black dress” phenomenon when a client told us how much she liked our new sofa. I know this client has seen this sofa before – in fact, she has sat on this sofa! The “outfit” the sofa was wearing was the key: It was dressed in a mélange of black and white pillows in various designs and patterns. A brilliant silver Doberman statue was placed near it like a piece of fine jewelry. This client had recently seen this same sofa when it had a support role in a Hemmingway-inspired room setting dressed with leather and paisley pillows. Before that, it had co-starred in an urban-room scene with bold red and black hounds-tooth pillows and chairs. The secret to this chameleon sofa is not that it is“neutral beige,” which is the perceived safe haven of decorating. No, this sofa is a large, solid black sofa that teeters between traditional and

When everything grows, memories flourish and gentle rains fertilize our souls.

modern. It is on legs with casters – offering a nod to modern – but it sports a camel back, thus blending with traditional. Texture is a boucle that is invited into most design settings. The little black dress concept is perfect for those who like many styles and avoid style commitment because of a fear of boredom. A solid foundation to a room is the perfect setting for building and interior fashion statement. The sofa is the dress, and the pillows are the jewelry! Just like a floral sundress, a large-pattern sofa is destined to be what it is with little opportunity for change. The little black dress sofa might wear an array of large, solid color down pillows and a cashmere throw that beckons one to enter the room and cuddle up on a rainy day. The next day, that same sofa might be dressed in an abundance of pillows – all different and dressed up with design and embellishment. A furry rug at the foot of this sofa says it is dressed for an evening of entertaining! If you are interested in trying the little black dress technique in decorating, remember; don’t try to match exact colors for your pillows. Consider color families and go lighter and darker! Also, experiment with layering patterns, texture and embellishments. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in downtown Carmel.

Lip gloss is one of the most popular makeup products on the market. It has the ability to transform lips instantly into a reflecting pout, and is a staple for women of all ages. Lip gloss is easy to use and provides quick results. It is easy to apply, even without a mirror. While lip gloss is a coveted makeup bag essential, it often lacks the staying power of lipstick. But, if you brush on powder or use a matte lipstick before applying the gloss, you will find that it lasts a lot longer. Spring is the perfect time to try a new, glistening lip shade. Whether you enjoy a berry gloss, or something more natural like peach or nude, the makeup artists at Salon 01 can help you choose a shade that is perfect for your skin tone.

Zip-lock flies: Too good to be true? COMMENTARY By Dick Wolfsie I’ve had zipper problems my entire life. I spent most of my youth with an open fly, not because I was forgetful, but because it always got stuck halfway up. I still have nightmares about growing older, forever trapped in my snowsuit. So, I was intrigued when I got an e-mail the other day with the subject line: zip-lock/ flies. What an idea! Could you really buy a pair of jeans with a zip-lock closure in the front? Wouldn’t that be a conversation starter at the country-western bar where you hang out? The message was actually referring to a method of ridding your home and yard of flying insects. Instead of electronic bug zappers or a cloud of insecticide, simply stick half a dozen pennies in a zip-lock bag, fill it with tap water and nail it to a post or doorway in the insected area. (I like inventing words). I went online to see who had tried what appeared to be a typical fly-by-night scam. Even restaurants are experimenting with this idea, hoping to shepherd their personal allotment of pests to competing businesses where the chef may have opted for a more traditional approach, like taking out the garbage at the end of the night.

There were several posts on the Web sites I read. People wanted to know what year the pennies should be, or if using a 54-gallon clear plastic trash liner was a better option for their pig barn. One woman asked if a dollar bill would work if she didn’t have the exact change. There’s always one killjoy who overthinks a good idea. “My hypothesis is that pennies in water ionize, generating an electromagnetic field that produces a sine wave frequency; as the temperature of the water reaches optimal range, the frequency matches the resonant frequency of a fly’s skull, effectively ‘ringing’ its neural centermass like a minuscule bell.” Don’t invite this guy to your Memorial Day barbeque. And I’d avoid him at Christmas, because the last thing you want at a wild holiday office party is some guy explaining how mistletoe works. How do people make these discoveries in the first place? What first prompted a person to wrap his body parts in duct tape to get rid of unsightly warts? And how did that same someone then realize that it was the tape and the not that half-pint of tequila that cleared up his problem? There is another solution to the fly problem: Fill an empty bottle with an inch of vinegar, replace the cap, then poke a few holes in the top. Flies check in but can’t check out. But some

poor guy from South Bend thought it was his wife’s herbal vinaigrette dressing and shook the contents before dousing it on his Cobb salad. Here’s another good one for repelling bugs. Add a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to equal parts of Pledge and white wine. Then spray on all your light bulbs. Okay, I just made that up, but why I can’t start a little buzz of my own on the Web? One guy on the Internet claimed that back in the 1940s his wife used a variation of the zip-lock concept by putting two coins in a clear glass jar filled with water. It didn’t work that well, so he added a couple more pennies. “Edgar,” said his wife, “do you always have to put in your two cents?” When my wife read this essay, she accused me of writing that horrible joke first, then creating an entire story around it. I write my column in my basement office, so she couldn’t possibly know what I did. Unless, of course, she was a fly on the wall.
