OUR VIEWS

It is our position that public education suffers from too many cooks in the kitchen – each attempting a one-size-fits-all solution. Calls for full-day kindergarten are countered by restrictions of a five-hour instructional day. Calls for programs for kids to graduate early to start college are countered by claims that kids aren’t ready for college after four years. In fact, aren’t children like snowflakes in that as much as they are the same, they are all different? Wouldn’t a public education system that provides incentives to parents to become involved in the education of their children motivate teachers to remain engaged and create schools that are flexible enough to challenge the high achievers and assist the under achievers alike? How might education develop if we were to consider a world without financial constraints, unions and expansive state intervention? Could yearround schools make sense? Would professional teachers with 12 months pay require the protection of unions or tenure to make ends meet? Could we provide enough college-level courses that high-achievers could be ready to start that phase early and prepared? Is it possible to conform the school day and school year to match the biorhythms of the kids being taught?

Primary advantage

It is our position that the current schedule of presidential primaries is indefensible with Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, etc. basically deciding who will be on the ballot while residents of states like Indiana rarely go to the polls with the candidates still in doubt. In a representative republic such as ours, each eligible voter should have equal say in the selection of the president. It is not acceptable for Hoosier voters to routinely go to the polls in November of presidential election years and be forced to choose the least offensive candidate from the nominees placed on the ballot by residents of other states. We believe the primaries for president need to be held on the same day for all states with each voter providing his/her choice of candidates for the highest office in the land. We have heard all of the arguments for staggered primaries and find them unconvincing. We have TV and the Internet that can fully dispense the candidate’s positions on current issues without the need and expense of travel. Unless the candidates are fearful of the voters being fully informed before casting their vote, we believe all potential presidential candidates should endorse a change in the primary election procedures.

FROM THE BACKSHOP The point was to lampoon Palin We received a voice mail about Tim Campbell’s cartoon in the June 7 issue of Current, the one depicting Rosa Parks’ bus and Sarah Palin’s in succession. We were told we’re racist. That would be news to us, and sad news, at that. We’re actually nothing of the sort. Somebody lost – completely – the intent, which was to lampoon Palin for her over-inflated opinion of herself and her candidacy (heaven forbid!). No, we don’t view our world by color, and, no, we don’t legislate what Tim draws, just as we don’t legislate anyone’s conclusions. Get to know us and you’ll see. ••• The Family Justice Center, a “pathway for healing,” should – we hope – be ready later this year to receive abuse victims in a one-stop treatment/counseling/interview location. It can’t come a moment too soon. Some victims have had to endure up to 27 interviews. The center would cut that to one. ••• Well, we told you it was going to happen, and now it has.

Long lost COMMENTARY By Terry Anker Nostalgia generates a powerful state-of-mind. To the point, I recently met yet another person who, after the death of a long-time spouse, rediscovered a high school sweetheart through a social networking site. Although they lived on opposite sides of the country and hadn’t seen each other in decades, they connected. After a whirlwind romance that would belie their chronological maturity, they married. This time there were no restrictions on their passions. They are adults not awaiting the right time to be together. Houses were put on the market and careers were ended. Caught up in the romance of the story as told by the blushing newlywed, I asked if they had pined for one another from across years and the miles – his Montague to her Capulet. I was at once disappointed and relieved that the response was simply, “Goodness, no.” In fact, they both had enjoyed happiness, family and success. It was only coincidence that led them to be in the same place at the same time when Facebook

interceded. Hopefully idealistic, I suggested fate must have been in the mix. While attempting not to disappoint, she proposed that a high-speed Internet connection was the more likely cupid. The next day, my inbox delivered a call from a long-lost friend of my own. While we grew up together, his life has taken him first to faraway places in service to our country and then to endless career wanderlust. After high school I lost track until we were invited to his wedding some decades ago. Our last talk must have been happened before my 10 year-old son’s birth. Yet, I returned his call promptly and fell into conversation as if we had spoken just yesterday. While our lives are much different, is it possible our souls remained the same?

Hopefully idealistic, I suggested fate must have been in the mix.

It’s not easy to lose a pet – even a gecko COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I just got off the phone with the exotic animal vet, and much to my surprise, I am extremely upset by her news: Quickie, my 9-year-old son’s beloved leopard gecko of four years, is in renal failure. When I called my husband to tell him, I couldn’t even speak for the lump in my throat! What gives? I’m supposed to be the tough-asnails, never-let-‘em-see-you-cry, cold-hearted mom who detests hugs and Hallmark commercials even more than scouring maggot-filled garbage cans. And Quickie is a lizard for Pete’s sake, not a big-eyed puppy or a fluffy kitten. We don’t snuggle with her, play fetch, even touch her much. She devours live crickets and meal worms and washes her eyeballs with her tongue. Her impending demise should come as a relief to me, the primary reptile-poo-and-insect-limbcovered-aquarium cleaner. The real reason I’m all verklempt is my son, whom I haven’t told yet. I just can’t bear the thought of his reaction, which will certainly include massive tears that he will bravely but ineffectively attempt to suppress. I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, and I don’t know what to do. I asked Doo for advice, who wasn’t much help: “Wait until you get home. Do not tell him over the phone.” (And typical Doo, “How much is all of this going to cost?” A question of course

I never even asked the vet. Who cares! Money shouldn’t matter when family’s concerned, even if said family member basks in the nude and sports a striped tail.)

I just can’t bear the thought of his reaction, which will certainly include massive tears that he will bravely but ineffectively attempt to suppress. Might Quickie live? Yes. Because the vet can’t identify the exact cause of her kidney failure – could be severe dehydration or a bacterial infection among a host of other things – antibiotics and fluids may work. But the doctor cautioned that at this advanced stage, Quickie’s chances of survival are only slightly higher than all of our children winning collegiate luge scholarships. They will know in 72 hours after another round of lab work, when we, coincidentally, will be half way through our road trip to South Carolina. Andrew’s last time seeing his pet might have been this morning when the vet examined her. He didn’t even say goodbye! And now, I am actually crying. The worst part is thinking we may have been responsible for this. Maybe if we had sought

medical attention sooner, or kept more moisture in her tank, or continued with the calcium dusting of her food. I don’t know. I’m sitting at work stalling so I that don’t have to go home and deal with Andrew. But I guess the sooner he hears, the sooner he can begin to cope with what’s happening. By the time you read this we will either be one gecko short at Chez Wilson (I’m choking up again at the thought!) or taking exceedingly drastic precautions to ensure another four years of joy with our “immortal” Quickie. I will, of course, keep you updated. Peace out. P.S. I discussed the issue with Andrew last night, and initially, he successfully maintained his composure. The dam didn’t burst until an hour later, midway through his pre-soccer game spaghetti dinner. As the tears poured down his red face and the sobs shook his little body, Doo and I just held him, struggling to not completely lose it ourselves. (We’ve decided consoling grief-stricken children definitely makes the Top Five Sucky Jobs of Parenting list.) On a positive note, though, Andrew went on to score two goals, his first this season, I like to think, in a tribute to his friend Quickie.

City could win $100,000 for bark park Current in Westfield Westfield dogs soon could have a new place to play. The city announced last week that PetSafe, a nationwide organization with products geared toward pet safety, has chosen Westfield as a top 25 contestant for a grant to fund a Bark Park. The finalist receives $100,000 toward building the park. City officials have been asking residents to post testimonials describing why Westfield would be a good candidate for the bark park on the PetSafe provided site and as a result, Westfield made the top 25 list. During the next phase of the contest, the city must create a short video highlighting resources, need and support for the Bark Park, as well as a proposed location. Judges will then choose 15 finalists. If Westfield is selected as one of the final 15, it will then be up to the community to vote for the city’s video. “I think we have an excellent chance of being selected as a finalist because we have many of the necessary resources, such as the available land and extensive plans which will grow our city,” Stephanie Fix of the Westfield Parks and Recreation Depart. said in a release. “Now we just need to show our community’s need and support in the video.” Osborne Park at 17001 Ditch Road is a 30-acre undeveloped park that would be the site for the park if the city is selected for the grant. Westfield has been working with a project team from the Hamilton County Leadership Academy to help develop the plans for the park.

Schematic designs of Grand Park released Current in Westfield Last week Westfield officials released the schematic design for the Grand Park Sports Campus. The sports campus will feature a full range of championship-level outdoor fields for baseball, softball and field sports including soccer, football, rugby, field hockey and lacrosse, along with a multi-purpose indoor facility, common areas and green space. The 350-plus sports campus will include 26 diamonds and 32 fields, including some using synthetic turf, according to the schematic design. In addition to these fields, the park also will include an indoor facility. Surrounding the park are numerous plots of land designated as potential commercial developments. The sports campus will accommodate teams and tournaments from all over the Midwest and beyond. More than 250,000 sports visitors are expected to participate in or attend events at the facility annually. According to city officials, building on the state of Indiana’s long and storied sports tradition, Grand Park will become a premier location for athletes, visitors and the local community alike.

Organizers say the Hamilton County Family Justice Center will bring an overdue service to domestic violence victims By Kevin Kane Current in Westfield A meeting in Noblesville’s City Hall last Monday started with the playing of a 20-year-old 911 call. The caller, a little girl named Lisa, screamed into the phone in fear as she watched her stepfather, drunk at the time, beating her mother and siblings. She pleaded for help to the woman on the other line before her voice disappeared from the call altogether. Lisa, now 24, still struggles with the abuse she experienced on that night and others, and a former San Diego city attorney who worked her case, Casey Gwinn, says the aftereffects she deals with now largely could have been avoided with proper care and services. And that’s why he was in Hamilton County last week. Gwinn first came up with the idea for a family justice center in 1989. His idea was to use the “one-stop-shop” approach for the treatment of domestic violence victims, as he believed it would be easier for them to get the care and services they need if all could be available at one location. After years of planning, the first Family Justice Center was launched in San Diego in 2002. Since that time, Gwinn has spread the word of the concept and impact of these centers and helped launch new facilities in other states and countries. Today, there are 81 similar centers operating around the world and many more in development – including one in Hamilton County. The Hamilton County Family Justice Center has officially been in the works since early 2009, and the meeting in Noblesville was to update leaders of local organizations of its progress. The center would serve as a singular facility where victims of domestic violence could get all of the assistance they need. Many different entities – including law enforcement agencies, child advocacy centers, Prevail and several others – would separately bring their efforts under this one roof when necessary. “It’s not really very expensive,” Gwinn said. “It’s a place. Everyone’s doing the work already. This just brings them all together.” Such centers have proved successful in providing thorough care and attention to a greater number of domestic violence victims and increasing the rate of prosecution of their offenders. Organizers say the project has a great deal of support within the county, but a few roadblocks must be cleared before the HCFJC can open its doors. Finding a home for this center is one of them. HCFJC Director Beth Gehlhausen said the center should enter Phase I of its long-term plan later this year. This step includes moving into a donated space in the Community Health Network building at 146th Street and Cumberland Road and operating the HCFJC one day per week. Gehlhausen said a permanent home might be a few years down the road. She said Noblesville, being the county seat, is the optimal choice, but the pickings are

www.youarecurrent.com

slim across the entire county. “The difference between us and other counties is that we’re still a new community,” she said. “There aren’t a lot of government buildings sitting around.” In addition to a building, the HCFJC also needs monetary donations to help get the center off the ground. But Gwinn was optimistic, citing numerous recent examples of fundraising successes from other Family Justice Centers that found donors to be much more willing to help when several entities come together for a single cause. But while finding a home and raising funds may be the two biggest and most time consuming challenges, Gehlhausen said there are two that must be addressed immediately. The center’s governance structure still is undecided, and committees soon will meet to discuss whether the HCFJC will be a government-run facility or a nonprofit. At the very least, Gehlhausen said, a 501(c)(3) will be created to be the center’s fundraising arm.

Gwinn The individuals present at last week’s progress report meeting are also now working to promote the center, continuing to get more entities onboard and generating a greater “buy-in” throughout the county, Gehlhausen said. All involved in the process, from Gwinn to the local leaders, are excited about the impact the center can have on Hamilton County, but work still must be done before the dream can become a reality. “You’re at a critical juncture,” Gwinn said to the meeting’s attendees, adding that the Hamilton County group has presented the best vision statement he’s seen of all Family Justice Centers he’s seen since the original. “We look forward to that vision becoming a reality.”

Why it’s needed According to the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office, in 2009 41 percent of all A misdemeanor battery charges, 26 percent of all D felony domestic battery cases, 75 percent of all B felony rape cases and 33 percent of all C felony child molestation cases in the county were dismissed. “That’s why we’re here,” said Luckie Carey of the Carmel Police Dept. at last week’s meeting. By conducting a number of services under one roof at the Hamilton County Family Justice Center, abuse victims would receive better care and provide more accurate information to investigators through fewer interviews, theoretically resulting in far fewer cases being dismissed. Without centralized services, abuse victims new have to tell their stories up to 25 or 30 times. The HCFJC should reduce that figure to one. For more information, visit www. familyjusticecenter.org.

In five of the images, the image had been altered the make the woman look thinner or fatter. Even the youngest 4-year-olds in the study ranked the “most beautiful” body as significantly thinner than the normal-weight original.

GRAMMAR LESSON By Brandie Bohney I recently got an e-mail from a reader who is frustrated with the insistence of some Americans to cling to traditionally British spellings of certain words. I don’t share his frustration with the alternate spellings or with the point of view that the British spellings are incorrect for Americans, but I did think it would be an interesting subject to research a little further. It turns out most of the spelling changes originated in the early 19th century when Noah Webster was putting together a dictionary of American English. He wanted to distinguish British English from American English – perhaps as a big, wet raspberry at the Brits – by simplifying spelling or arranging the letters more phonetically. Grey became gray, colour became color, favourite became favorite, centre became center, and theatre became theater. The traditional British spellings, however, were never dropped completely. Especially in acting circles, many people clung to the British forms. Now, most British spellings are acceptable alternatives to the American ones. With the exception of the switch from ou to o, almost all British spellings are considered as correct as their American counterparts. So which spelling should you use? Really,

it’s up to you. There are a few things to keep in mind, though: Words with –re (centre) endings versus –er (center) endings tend to be considered in some circles more sophisticated and in other circles more stodgy or stuffy. Often in acting circles, theatre is the spelling to signify an acting company or the art of acting on stage, while theater refers to the building in which movies are shown or theatre is performed. Certain other words exhibit a change in connotation with the change in spelling. For example, learned is considered standard in American English, but the British form, learnt, would be seen (or heard) by many as a nonstandard – or even uneducated – form of the past tense of to learn. It is, however, an acceptable spelling (and pronunciation). If you dislike the British spellings and, like Noah Webster, would like to thumb your nose at the Brits, don’t use them. If you think they’re fancy, and you’re feeling the need to be fancy, go ahead and use them. Both spellings are correct.

DISPATCHES » A card for travelers – A few banks have begun testing cards with the newer chip technology, known as E.M.V. (for Europay, MasterCard and Visa) and are beginning to offer the cards to select customers. Wells Fargo has issued cards with the embedded chips to about 15,000 United States-based clients who travel internationally, in a trial program. JPMorgan Chase is offering the cards to some of its high-net-worth customers this month. Meanwhile, Travelex, a major currency exchange company, began selling a preloaded E.M.V.-enabled debit card last year. The cards are the latest efforts to prevent credit card fraud oversees. -www.nyt.com » Store onions in pantyhose? – A handy way to store onions or potatoes (and keep them fresh longer) is to store them into old, clean pantyhose. Tie knots in pantyhose after each placement of onions or potatoes to keep them separated, then cut just above each knot as your needs arise for the vegetable. Hang the pantyhose on the back of pantry or kitchen door to keep it out of the way. -www.lifetips.com

Make a meal from your farmers market trip FOOD By Lori Goldsby Farmers markets, with their displays of fruits, vegetables and specialty goods, are beacons to amateur foodies who envision themselves as the next breakout TV chef. Do you plan your visit with a menu in mind and make a beeline to those vendors? Or do you wander aimlessly around, waiting for inspiration to hit but come home with a hodgepodge of goods and think, “Now what?!” Shopping at a farmer’s market is very different than your weekly trip to the grocery store. Most visitors don’t arrive with a grocery list in hand, but they know a few items they want. With a simple strategy, you can leave with a complete meal plan. Select a meat, an herb, a fruit and a vegetable. With a loaf of bread, fresh pasta or fresh corn, you will have a complete meal. The fresh herbs will provide the “zing” to the meats and fresh vegetables. This past weekend, I scored some great items at the Fishers Farmers Market. At the Woodland Fairy Acres booth, they have culinary lavender. I love to use lavender with fresh lamb from the Royer Farm booth. I usually complement this with a salad of fresh greens and berries. The floral notes of the lavender compliment the fruit, and I made croutons from the leftover pretzel I had at the Taste of Philly booth I already had olive oil at home, but the Artisano’s booth has a citrusy olive oil that I will be getting very soon. Here is one of my family’s favorite meals from

the Fishers Farmers Market, because it includes not just the in-season fresh fruits and veggies, but it combines them into a cohesive meal. In the coming weeks, I will be visiting other local markets and plan to bring you fresh ideas for summertime cooking and entertaining.

Spring lamb with lavender Ingredients • 1 leg of lamb • fresh cracked • 2 T. culinary pepper lavender • 3-5 garlic cloves • 1/4 c. olive oil • 1 c. red wine Directions: 1. Marinate lamb for 4 hours or overnight. 2. If using a gas grill, grill on each side 10 minutes using medium heat. 3. Cover with foil. Allow to rest five minutes. Slice across the grain. 4. Serve with a salad of spring greens or spinach topped with berries and croutons.

Fishers resident Bob Hanes recalls his time at McMurdo Station, Antarctica By Jordan Fischer Current Publishing Bob Hanes realized he had to get creative. Recruiter after recruiter at a job fair in Colorado listened politely to what he had to say, and then thanked him for his time; more than 11,700 other candidates were applying for the same group of 128 jobs at the McMurdo Station in Antarctica as Hanes. The average age of the applicants was 35. Hanes was 72. Today, a resident of Fishers, he is 84. “They were very polite, but I could tell they weren’t interested in me because I was easily the oldest person in the room,” Hanes said. “So I decided to deluge them with information.” To the recruiters Hanes felt most optimistic about, he began sending letters once a week. To further distinguish himself, he created a personalized logo which he printed on the front of each packet. “That way, I thought, even if they don’t open the letter, they’ll know who it’s from,” Hanes said. Hanes’ determination paid off. He was selected for a position in the dining room at the station. More important to Hanes, he got to return for five months to Antarctica – a frozen continent that had captivated his attention after a 10-day cruise to the bottom of the world in 1992.

Saying yes to adventure

“I had a former college roommate who asked me if I’d like to go somewhere and climb a mountain,” Hanes said. The year was 1987, and the then-60-year-old Hanes was recently retired from a Dale Carnegie Training franchise he owned and operated. The mountain they selected was Mt. Everest. “We decided, given our age, we might as well start at the toughest one first,” Hanes said. Hanes and his former roommate spent 23 days on the trail hiking the 18,000 ft. to the Everest base camp. Beyond that, the journey would have become too prohibitively expensive for the pair. Many climbers who seek the summit spend upwards of $50,000 in the process. But, Hanes said, the climb whet his appetite for adventure. In the more than two decades since his Everest trip, Hanes has climbed to the ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, traveled Mongolia, seen New

As a reminder of his time in Antarctica, Hanes decorated his bathroom with penguins. Zealand, Ireland, Greece and Holland, and cruised around the Antarctic peninsula aboard an Argentine naval supply ship. It was the latter trip which eventually brought him back to Antarctica.

Fruits of his labor

Hanes didn’t stay in the dining room at McMurdo Station for long. Having some experience working at an Indianapolis greenhouse in his younger days, he was quickly appointed the station’s greenhouse manager. He also drove a shuttle between McMurdo Station and a New Zealand research station located three miles away, and wrote for the station’s newspaper, the “Antarctic Sun.” “I think I just wanted it more than everyone else,” Hanes said, reflecting on his unlikely presence at the station. “I did what I had to do to stand out from the crowd.” Whether the goal is climbing Everest or writing a novel, Hanes said, it all starts with believing in oneself. “I worked on selling ideas in my professional life,” Hanes said, “so I just turned that around and sold myself.” For her part, Hanes’ wife Jane seems proud and somewhat bemused at her husband’s travels. “I thought he was crazy,” she said, “but I supported him. As for me, I want to shower, be able to brush my teeth and sleep in a bed.” As a reminder of his time in Antarctica, Hanes decorated his

bathroom with penguins. Every time he sees them, he says, he remembers the five months he spent at McMurdo Station. “If it hadn’t been for that college roommate, I might never have done any of it,” Hanes said. “Now I’m reaching the age where I am slowing down, and I’m so happy I did it when I did it, because I don’t think I could do it now.” “Whatever you’re thinking about… do it,” Hanes added. “If you put it off for too many years, you’ll never do it.”

Researchers divided study participants into five groups ranging from the lowest to highest dietary intake of fiber. Those who consumed the highest amount of fiber were 22 percent less likely to die over a nine-year period compared to people who consumed the least amount of fiber. Men with the highest fiber intakes had a 23 percent reduction in the risk of dying, while women had a 19 percent reduction compared to those eating the least amount of fiber. -www.wsj.com Grapes fight pain – Red grapes contain resveratrol, a powerful compound that blocks the enzymes that contribute to tissue degeneration. The evidence: In lab experiments at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, resveratrol protected against the kind of cartilage damage that causes back pain. Although the research is preliminary, it can’t hurt to fill up on foods rich in resveratrol, including blueberries and cranberries, which contain other powerful antioxidants as well. Resveratrol in red wine is far more easily absorbed due to the form it is in. -AARP Magazine

Home modifications can reduce the risk of falls By Jordan Fischer Current Publishing As the American population ages, and health care costs continue to rise, more and more seniors are considering “aging in place” – or remaining at home during their golden years, rather than moving to a senior living community. Often, the process of aging in place is one of modifying seniors’ existing homes to accommodate their changing needs and concerns. Chief among those concerns are safety and mobility. “As we age, we all want to retain our independence and live at home,” said Nathan Feltman, president of Home Health Depot, which offers home health products and home modifications for aging customers. “The biggest impediment to doing so is an injury as a result of a slip and fall accident,” Feltman said. “Having reduced mobility or another disability, in many cases, does not mean you have to give up your home and your independence.” According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, every year one in three senior citizens aged 65 and above will suffer from a slip and fall accident. Of those, 20-30 percent will suffer injuries that are severe enough to impact their ability to lead active, independent lives. According to Feltman, home modifications

can prevent or minimize opportunities for slip and fall accidents to occur, particularly in the bath. “We will go into a home and do major renovations and modifications to a bathroom to allow someone who’s confined to a wheelchair to be able to wheel themselves into a shower and bathe,” Feltman said. “Or, for somebody that isn’t able to step over a tub, for example, we can install a new bath system so it’s much easier to get in and out.” For more information about healthy aging and risks specific to the senior population, visit http://www.cdc.gov/aging/.

Walks provide memory boost - Mild exercise such as walking can boost brain volume and improve memory in older adults, researchers have found. The hippocampus is the part of the brain involved in the long-term memory of places, people, events and things. This part of the brain shrinks with age, limiting memory. Researchers found that the size of the hippocampus increased in a group of participants who exercised regularly for six months. Participants who did not exercise experienced the expected decrease in size. -www.livescience.com Cheaper heartburn drugs – The top brand-name heartburn drug is Nexium.

When should you convert your savings into an annuity? Current Publishing Many older investors simply don’t have enough time before retirement to risk a big loss, and some retirement investors are using some of their nest egg to purchase an annuity. By buying a slice of guaranteed lifetime income, investors can be protected from future market declines while locking in a portion of their retirement needs. Annuity sales rose 17 percent in 2011’s first quarter from the year-earlier period, and were also up more than 5 percent from the fourth quarter of last year, according to the Insured Retirement Institute, an industry trade group. The bulk of annuity sales are of variable annuities (VAs), which allow investors to place assets in mutual funds and therefore participate in stock market gains. VA assets hit a record $1.6 trillion at the end of March, the Institute said. However, Fidelity Investments is recommending a deferred variable annuity that includes what’s known as a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB). It allows investors to participate in future market gains while still protecting them from market declines. If at age 60 you buy a GLWB for $100,000, for example, Fidelity will charge you $2,500 a year to provide income for your lifetime and that of a surviving spouse. In return, you are guaranteed annual income payments of $5,000 a year. Fidelity puts your $100,000 into a balanced mutual fund that has 60 percent of its assets in stocks and 40 percent in bonds. If the market does poorly and your account value slips below $100,000, you’ll still be promised $5,000 in annual payments. But there are some fundamental questions Save on taxes – If you’re looking for a domestic retirement tax haven, seven states-Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming--don’t tax personal income at all. New Hampshire and Tennessee tax interest and dividends but not other income. The rest of the states have broad income taxes but give old taxpayers breaks, some quite generous. A 2010 study from the University of New Hampshire and Georgia State calculates that retirees pay, on average, only half the state income tax of working folks with the same income. -www.forbes.com Co-housing a growing trend – Co-housing, a new breed of senior communities, are a cluster of about 20 to 60 single-family houses gathered near a central home or building.

Annuity sales rose 17 percent in the first quarter of 2011. that need to be addressed before buying an annuity: 1. Annuities are illiquid. If you change your mind, there may be steep fees for the early sale of the annuity. Can you afford to leave your annuity funds untouched for a long time? 2. Are you so far away from retirement that it would be better to leave your retirement funds in the market? 3. What are the financial and tax consequences of assembling the funds needed to buy an annuity? Annuity gains are free from taxes until the product “annuitizes,” or begins generating retirement income. 4.

Your on-the-go life may be wearing you down COMMEntaRY By Dr. Richard Mason These days, Americans are living more than ever with the candle burning at both ends, and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Whether it’s a busy work schedule, kids’ sporting events, or a work deadline, people seem to be constantly on the go. The human body has an inherent ability to cope with these stressors; but it can’t compensate forever. When the body has been pushed for too long, inevitably consequences occur. An imbalance with stress hormones is the most common result. These hormones are your fight or flight chemicals that come out when you are going through a stressful event. An emotional stressor like divorce or a death will trigger this response; but so will rushing around with no down time. By far the most common stressor to the body besides emotional stress is dietary stress. Skipping meals, low calorie dieting, and consuming too many sugars in the diet also stresses your body as it tries to keep blood sugar regulated. The most common stress hormone is cortisol, which is produced by your adrenal glands and sits on top of your kidneys. Common symptoms of elevated cortisol are weight gain around the midsection, feeling stressed and wired, and not being able to regulate energy due to blood sugar being up

and down all day. Eventually as cortisol continues to be elevated the body cannot keep up and levels fall. Common symptoms of low cortisol include: Difficulty getting up in the morning, feeling lightheaded upon standing, brain fog (where memory and mental focus are off), fatigue not relieved by sleep, and craving salty foods. In either case, when these symptoms appear they often do so gradually; and proper treatment includes assessing cortisol levels and undergoing nutritional and lifestyle changes to return them to normal. Checking cortisol levels is best done through a saliva sample taken several times through the day, as cortisol levels are different in the morning versus the evening. A blood test will not accurately assess levels as they change through the day, compared to saliva taken several times through the day. The good news is balancing these levels usually requires no medication; and the lasting results are fantastic. If you can relate to any of the above symptoms, then your body is telling you something is wrong. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is listen to it. Dr. Richard Mason is the owner of Mason Family Chiropractic & Wellness in Fishers, and holds an M.S. in nutrition. Mason can be reached via email at rmason@masonfamilychiro.com

At your age, you still set your own limitations COMMEntaRY By Marcia Wilson I’ll never forget the first time I heard those three little words. This new doctor, who looked like Doogie Howser’s little sister, starting a sentence “At your age…” and running off a litany of tests that were appropriate “at your age…” – and my apparently aging brain is thinking, “She knows nothing about me but my age!” I just went in for a tetanus shot for goodness sake, preparing for a rim to rim to rim hike in the Grand Canyon, and now I find out that “at my age” I probably better just sit in a rocking chair in the lodge sipping hot chocolate waiting for my next test. Really, what exactly does “at your age” mean? Explain “at your age” to our 98 year-old family friend flying off to Phoenix with her 90 year-old friend to meet his family; then explain “at your age” to a friend who is 30 years younger and sitting in a nursing home with dementia. Dr. Mark Lachs, author of Treat Me, Not My Age explains that we all age very differently.

“If you’ve seen one eighty year-old, you’ve seen one eighty year-old,” Lachs wrote. It would be foolish to pretend that getting older doesn’t come with a few challenges, but we are learning that many of our challenges come from lifestyle rather than age, and that it’s never too late to start making changes that can improve our energy, balance, strength and mobility. Nothing is guaranteed in life, but we have options that hedge our bets in favor of extending our years of independence and improving the quality of our lives. So remember, at your age (be that 20 or 120) you can choose, you have options. I’m not an expert – I don’t even play one on TV, but we’ll continue to explore aging in a more positive light instead of accepting “AT YOUR AGE.” Marcia Wilson holds an M.A. in gerontology and teaches exercise courses for aging adults in Fishers.

DISPATCHES » Cook with kale – Increased intake of kale has been related to a decreased risk of colon cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and ovarian cancer. This is attributed to kale’s generous load of phytonutrients and vitamins A, C, and. K. According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, eating a diet rich in the powerful antioxidant vitamin K can reduce the overall risk of developing or dying from cancer. In addition, kale’s high fiber content helps to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease (particularly when the kale is cooked instead of raw). -www.diabeticcooking.com » Pain meds cause headaches – Taking OTC or prescription pain medicine too often, for any reason, can eventually cause you to have headaches. “If you start taking a lot on a regular basis, that can cause a rebound headache, where the medication you are taking for a headache, perpetuates the headache,” says Dr. Merle Diamond of the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago. “Your body starts to get used to the medication. It searches for it, and if it doesn’t see it, it gives

you a headache.” Diamond says people who get migraines are especially susceptible. -www.msn.com » Weight loss myth – While your metabolism may dip with each passing year, you can’t necessarily blame any ensuing weightloss difficulties on your age. If you aren’t on a low-fat or low-calorie diet, for example, losing weight will be difficult. Similarly, low-sodium diets can make it easier to shed pounds because it increases water retention. Finally, gaining weight is one of the side effects often associated with meds prescribed to older adults, so once you’ve balanced out your diet, have a discussion with your doctor about what you can do to counteract any lingering unwanted pounds. -www.foxnews.com » Drink milk after workouts? – Try fat-free milk instead of a sports drink. The best time to drink it is right after strength-training. Drink two to four cups. The protein in the milk helps repair muscles you’ve exerted. The calcium and vitamin D strengthen bones and may help you lose more fat. -www.prevention.com

All you need to know about sunscreen COMMENTARY By Brooke Tetrault SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, is something that all skin conscious men and women are reaching for this summer, but sunscreens can be confusing, from the ingredients in the product to the claims made on the packaging. The FDA recently cracked down on SPF’s misleading labels, and is helping clear things up for consumers. Starting summer, 2012 … • Only products that protect against both UVA and UVB rays can be labeled “broad spectrum.” And only these “broad spectrum” products (with an SPF of 15 or higher) can claim to offer protection from sunburn, premature aging and skin cancer. Those that don’t protect against both will come with a warning label. • “Waterproof,” “sweat proof ” and “sun block” are terms of the past. Instead, expect to see “water resistant” along with reapplication recommendations (ranging from every 40 minutes to two hours). • SPF values can no longer be higher than 50, as there is not enough evidence to support that the higher the number means better sun protection. • These changes are a step in the right direction, but don’t go heading off to the pool quite yet. Proper sun protection starts at home. Now that you have the perfect prod-

You’ll Find It All Here. ucts, here are a few more tips to keep your skin protected: • Make sure your sunscreen is not expired (No date? Can’t remember when you purchased it? Pitch it!). Most SPFs claim to have a shelf life of two years, but that’s if the product is unopened. The safest bet is replacing your SPF products every year. • Most of us do not apply an adequate amount of sunscreen. A shot glass is the new standard for full body application (and it’s always OK to use more). • Remember, for sunscreen to really be effective apply it at least 15 to 30 minutes before heading out and reapply often.

Losing weight with liposuction COMMENTARY By Barry Eppley Liposuction is a very popular body-contouring surgery largely because it works. It is an immediate method to remove certain areas of unwanted fat that you just haven’t been able to budge by your best efforts. With this fatremoval method, many people expect to lose weight as well. Can you lose weight by liposuction? The simple answer is yes ... in the short term. When advertisements promote how much weight is removed with liposuction, they are referring to what is suctioned out at the time of surgery. This is known as the fat aspirate, and it is collected in a canister. It can be both measured in cubic centimeters or millimeters (always is) and weighed (sometimes is). The weight of the aspirate can be closely approximated by its measured volume. Since a gallon of water weights 8 pounds and a gallon contains 2.2 liters (2200cc), then a liter (1000cc) of fat will approximately weigh 3.5 pounds. Therefore, if you had 2000ccs removed, for example, you would have had a surgical weight loss of about 7 pounds. While this seems impressive, it is actually a bit misleading. The reason is that prior to the actual liposuction, a large amount of fluid is put into the fat. This is essential to liposuction to not only lessen the pain after surgery but, of equal importance, to reduce any bleeding the

procedure will cause. This fluid has both volume and weight, and the actual fat aspirate will contain up to 1/3 of this by content. So when you see large weight loss claims from liposuction, it is because large amounts of tumescent fluid have been initially placed ... and then removed as well. While liposuction may cause some weight loss immediately (surgical weight loss), a more significant drop may actually occur afterwards. In the healing phase for several weeks after surgery, most people are not motivated to eat normally. When combined with the increased caloric demands of healing, a metabolic weight loss often happens. This will usually equal the surgical weight loss by four to six weeks after surgery. While liposuction and weight loss will be forever linked, one should view the association as incidental and a side benefit. Weight loss is not the reason to have liposuction – spot body contouring is. Some weight loss will happen for almost all patients. The amount varies on one’s body and how much fat was removed. Some view liposuction as a jump-start method for their weight-loss approach, and, in the short term, that is what will happen. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Liability protection with a pool INSURANCE Q&A By Andy Warren Question from Michelle S. of Westfield: We’re getting ready to open our pool for the summer and are slightly concerned we don’t have all of our bases covered when it comes to protecting ourselves. What are the important issues? Response from Andy Warren: • Issues – The most important thing to remember as a pool owner is that you make sure that your insurance agent knows you have a pool. Failure to notify your agent can result in denied claims and the liability risk falling completely on you. This is very important to remember if you add a pool to your existing property. Forgetting to notify your agent can expose you to some serious unwanted risks. Carriers have varying requirements and pricing schemes when it comes to pools. Independent insurance agencies have access to many carriers and will be able to find the best combination of price and coverage for your needs. • Coverage recommendations – I recommend at least $1 million in liability coverage for all of our clients that have a homeowner’s policy. I would also advise adding an additional $1 million of coverage by adding an umbrella liability policy to protect you and your family against catastrophic claims. • Claim prevention – Having adequate insur-

ance in place protects your assets if an incident occurs, but it does nothing to prevent something from happening. Liability almost always falls on the pool owner and staying on top of your responsibility to keep your pool safe and secure is just as important as having the proper insurance in place. A safety pool cover protected by lock and key is probably the best place to start. A quality cover completely seals the pool and prevents accidental access to the water by unwanted visitors, children and pets. Making sure your pool is protected by a fence is also a good idea, but no fence is unconquerable. Andy Warren is with Shepherd Insurance & Financial Services. Have a question you’d like to ask?

Greek’s Pizzeria is bringing its famous tastes to Noblesville with its second Hamilton County location. The Indiana pizza chain recently opened its latest franchise in Noblesville at 216 South 10th Street under owner Josh Trisler. The very first Greek’s opened in 1969 under founder Athanasios Chris Karamesines. After working for many of the mainstream pizza chains and learning the ins and outs of their ingredients and the pizza industry as a whole, Karamesines started his unique pizzeria when he was just 17 years old.

You better bee-lieve it! COMMENTARY By David Cain Lately, I’ve subscribed to the notion that local honey is good for you. I heard it could help reduce the affects of allergies. I’m no doctor or even a naturalist, and I don’t even pretend to be one, so I’m not sure if this theory is for real or if the beekeepers union hatched it up. But, I’ve heard it from more than one person and, if nothing else, I’m a little gullible. I still believe in Boss’s Day and don’t believe Valentine’s Day was invented by Hallmark. I believe stuff with little prompting. But that’s not uncommon; we all have a tendency to believe things that other people say. I believe people I don’t even know. I hear (or overhear) someone say something, and I naturally want to believe it to be true. It’s almost like when people talk to each other they only speak in absolute, proven facts. I used to think I was allergic to bees. I carried around a bee kit to triage in the event a dastardly

bee stung me. I was stung in the upper lip multiple times by a queen bee when I was little, and the doctor promptly concluded I was allergic. No tests, no lab reports, just a simple opinion based on the wrath of the injury. With a lip swollen to the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, it seemed a conclusion that required no rebuttal. I believed it for years. I believed it until another bee, certainly a less royal bee, proved the theory wrong. Your brain is wired to believe other people. You can try to avoid it, but we consider the words of other people to be the highest level of proof. Bold statements, simple opinions, offhand statements, ratings, reviews and endorsements are all held in high regard in the world of influence. Referrals and recommendations are the queen bees of effective marketing and persuasion.

I used to think I was allergic to bees.

Stone flooring: Exclusive and exciting Commentary By David Decker You’re guaranteed to get a floor unlike any other with a natural stone floor. No two are ever alike. The exclusive look, feel and function of real stone flooring create an exciting home design palette from the ground up. Stone works well just about anywhere, but there are a few important things to know and consider when making the decision. Appearance – Just as no two rocks, no two snowflakes, no two trees or no two of anything else in nature are exactly the same, so it is with flooring tiles cut from quarried stone slabs. Variety is the spice of a natural stone floor owner’s life. Cost – You’re going to pay a few dollars per square foot for real stone compared with good ceramic or porcelain tile. Installation – Also more expensive than with man-made tiles, it is a professional’s laborious, intricate and time-consuming task to prepare, fit, cut, level and finish real stone flooring. Maintenance – Depending on the variety, real stone can be harder or softer, more dense or less dense, more porous or less porous. In just about every case, stone takes more maintenance and is harder to clean. Application – Stone is a handsome, luxurious floor surface just about everywhere, but you definitely want to think twice before installing a real stone shower, including flooring and/or

walls. The lime and calcium in central Indiana water love to stick to porous stone. Substitution – For a low-maintenance, consistent looking, less expensive alternative, man-made stone tiles have many of the same long-term characteristics of real stone with far less maintenance. Selection – Travertine, limestone, slate, granite and marble are just a few of the stone varieties available in nature’s spectrum of unlimited colors. They’ll never be exactly what you see in the showroom, but will be spectacular when they are installed. Value – No question, well-maintained real stone flooring enhances the real estate value of any home. Modern technology provides easier and cheaper ways of achieving a stone floor look, but nothing makes the same discerning statement or eyepopping appearance of authentic stone flooring.

Summer landscaping: It’s time and still used by modern herbalists as a mood stabilizer. But, in my opinion, the first day of summer landscaping fun fact is this: It is still a great time to improve your landscaping and/or to create your new backyard oasis! Why? The ground temperatures have now reached optimum levels for ideal plant growth and the ground is very “workable” due to the decrease in the amount of rain water in the past few weeks. Now that the planting season for annuals has passed, I would encourage you to look at the many different types of perennials that are perfect for planting in summer. Coneflowers are budding at this very moment, hydrangeas have some of the biggest panicles (flowers) that I have seen in a long time and the knock-out roses are bigger this year due to all of the spring rains. Regardless of your landscaping situation, be sure to ask your garden center or landscaping professional for help in determining the best perennial for your landscaping plans. And as always, let me know how I can help. Happy planting!

Commentary By Mark Skipper On June 21 at 1:16 p.m., the summer solstice begins in the Northern Hemisphere. Sol + stice derives from a combination of Latin words meaning “sun” + “to stand still.” As the days lengthen, the sun rises higher and higher until it seems to stand still in the sky. As a major celestial event, the summer solstice results in the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The Northern Hemisphere celebrates in June, but the people on the Southern half of the earth have their longest summer day in December. Summer solstice fun facts: Pagans called the midsummer moon the “Honey Moon” for the mead made from fermented honey that was part of wedding ceremonies performed at the Summer Solstice. Ancient Pagans celebrated midsummer with bonfires, when couples would leap through the flames, believing their crops would grow as high as the couples were able to jump. Midsummer was thought to be a time of magic, when evil spirits were said to appear. To thwart them, Pagans often wore protective garlands of herbs and flowers. One of the most powerful of them was a plant called “chase devil,” which is known today as St. John’s Wort

The perfect annual? GARDENING By Holly Lindzy I love annuals as much as anyone, but I have to admit, the deadheading drives me a smidge batty. Most annuals require some amount of it but, how about a plant that doesn’t need any deadheading and still blooms like crazy? If that sounds like a plan to you, then you will love impatiens as much as I do. They are actually tender perennials that are sold as annuals in flats or pots but are just as easily grown from seed. A tender perennial is a plant that is will grow and grow in a warm climate, but in our chilly zone five, the frost will zap the life out of them. Impatiens flower profusely in shades of white, pink, purple, red and even orange. They love the shade and will even grow under black walnut trees, which exude a toxin from the roots that prevents many other plants from not thriving in its midst. No extra care is needed but if they get too much sun, the midday heat will cause them to wilt, so if you can, plant them in absolute shade. And then have some lemonade. While most annuals need regular deadheading, like I said before, this one does not. It flowers nonstop from spring until frost. One word of advice: Yank them before the first frost hits, because once it does, the stems turn to terrible

DISPATCHES » Verizon launches 4G in Indy – Verizon Wireless claims its customers in Indianapolis are now able to surf the Web, download files and share music and photos up to 10 times faster than before with Verizon Wireless’ 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, launched last Thursday. According to Verizon, 4G LTE users should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink, so customers inside the I-465 loop can enjoy the fast speeds of the world’s first large-scale 4G LTE network. » Census data tracks diseases – When you filled out your census form, you helped computer scientists model how diseases spread in the United States. Over the last four years, National Institutes of Health-supported researchers have been transforming anonymized data from the 2000 Census — which described the country’s 281 million people and 116 million households — into a virtual U.S. population. They finished the “synthetic population” in 2009 and are updating with 2010 data. By integrating the population into their computer models, researchers can better simulate the spread of an infectious outbreak through a community and examine the best ways to intervene. -www.livescience.com

Tips for evaluating online reviews TECHNOLOGY By Gary Hubbard One of the promises of the Internet was to give everyone a voice, and today, anyone can say anything on just about anything from just about anywhere. Mobile devices, social networks, review sites and the ability to comment on just about anything has created a massive wave of user-generated content that is now seemingly everywhere. And let’s face it, we all love word-of-mouth referrals when we are trying to make decisions, so learning how to digest all this new “noise’” can make the information invaluable. Here are some basic tips: Tip No. 1: Never base your decision on a single voice. The term “astroturfing” was coined to describe posts or comments made by someone with an agenda. Fake reviewers are flooding the Internet with comments that appear to be from real customers, but in fact are associated with the entity being reviewed (overly positive) or a competitor (overly negative). Tip No. 2: The truth is usually in the middle. Much like our political landscape, there are extremists on both ends, but reality tends to live somewhere in the middle. Take overly positive or negative comments with a grain of salt (especially if there are only

a handful of total reviews), and focus on the ones in between. Tip No. 3: Dig into the negative comments. If you only look at the summary rating of all the comments, you could be missing out on the real info. For example, a friend was researching hotels in the coastal hill towns of Italy and came across an amazing looking budget hotel that only got a rating of 7 out of 10. (Most of the surrounding options were getting 8s and 9s). When she read the negative comments, they all had the same complaint about how many stairs they had to climb to get around the area (in an ancient hill town, really?!?). By digging a little, she found the review ratings for the actual facilities and views were spectacular, resulting in a great find many would have just passed over. Tip No. 4: Check a reviewer’s other reviews. One of the easiest ways to uncover “astroturfing,” especially with overly negative comments, is to see what else that person has posted. We had someone post a negative review about one of our stores, which obviously caused us great concern. When we couldn’t find any service records for the inciden they claimed they had, we checked to see what other reviews this person had posted. We quickly determined it was a small com-

petitor, because he posted similar negative comments on many different computer service companies’ profiles in the same date range and often referred to his own company as a better option. You can also determine if a reviewer is just negative about everything in life no matter what they are reviewing (food, services, hotels, etc.) and take their comments with a grain of salt. Tip No. 5: The more, the better. The more comments on a single profile or item, the less effective astroturfing by those with an agenda will be, so seek out resources that have lots of user comments. If no single source has more than a handful of comments, try to find several other sites that have comments on the same item, service or profile so you get a large enough crowd to pull info from. Lastly, remember those with an ax to grind are far more motivated to post comments than those who had a good or great experience, so be wary when only glowing reviews exist. And seeing how the entity responds to negative comments can be very telling as well! Gary Hubbard is the owner of Data Doctors Computer Services – www.datadoctors.com. Have a technology question?

Airplane streaking a good distraction from the boredom? HUMOR By Mike Redmond After reading two accounts in as many days of people disrobing, running around and creating what we shall call ruckuses on commercial airliners, I had to ask myself: “Gee, how come this never happens on any of the flights I take?” I do my share of zooming around in aluminum tubes, and it’s all pretty uneventful. While flying you can pass the time in several ways: Not sleeping, not reading, not listening to music, not talking to your seatmates, and of course not enjoying yourself because air travel is tedious at best and soul-crushing the rest of the time. Then you land and wait some more for your baggage, and start the process of dreading the return flight. See? Uneventful. No naked people. No ruckuses except maybe for the occasional bratty kid, but those are small amateur ruckuses compared to someone taking off all their clothes and whooping up and down the aisle. I remember my first flight on an airliner. Mom dressed us kids like we were going to church. Everyone else on the plane was dressed the same way. The attendants took special care of us, a single mother flying with four children, and went out of their way to see to our comfort even

though we were flying coach and, by today’s standards, therefore hardly worth much more than a passing glance as the drink cart rolled by. To be fair, I have had some extraordinary airline service. I am grateful (and say so) when it happens, but I know better than to expect it, despite what the commercials say. Get real. It’s like that guy on the intercom. He says he’s just pleased as punch to be flying my butt to Dallas but you know what? I don’t think he really means it. So I guess I’m just looking for something to replace the dreadful experience that is modern air travel. There is simply no joy in commercial flight anymore. I’d welcome the diversion of someone getting naked and causing a little in-flight excitement. Except that I just re-read the stories and found out that the people who did the disrobing were males, and crazy as loons. Darn. I was hoping for something along the lines of Sofia Vergara. Well, shoot. The last thing I need on my flight is a naked crazy man. The ones with their clothes on are bad enough. They always seem to be sitting next to me. And I’m pretty sure they say the same thing. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O. Box 44385, Indianapolis, IN 46244.

Summer safety tips for pets Pets of the week

DISPATCHES » Adopt cats for less - All felines, kittens included, will be 50 percent off every Thursday at the Humane Society for Hamilton County until further notice. That’s just $37.50 or less for the fabulous feline of your choice including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines. The hope is that the new Thursday incentive will encourage people to adopt a cat or kitten, opening space for the influx of felines that the shelter is already seeing due to “kitten season” and the continued increase in owner-surrendered cats. “In May alone, we have taken in numerous pregnant cats, dozens of orphaned kittens and nearly 100 stray and unwanted cats,” said Executive Director Rebecca Stevens. “When we see this kind of increase in arrivals, we also see an increase in illnesses among the animals due to overcrowding. By reducing the number of cats in our care, our hope is to prevent the spread of illness and cramped quarters for the felines who remain.” » Bark for Life - The American Cancer Society’s Bark for Life is a Relay for Life fundraising event that honors the care-giving qualities of canine companions and provides an opportunity to honor cancer survivors and remember those who have lost their fight with the disease. The event will take place June 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Dr. James A Dillon Park, 6001 Edenshall Lane, Noblesville. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the event is followed by a dog walk and other entertainment activities.

PETS By Rebecca Stevens Did you know that heat exhaustion could cause brain damage or even death for your pet? Pets, especially outdoor pets, require extra protection from the summer’s scorching temperatures. Dogs with short muzzles, such as boxers, pugs, bulldogs and mastiffs have even more difficulty breathing during hot, humid days. Dogs and cats don’t sweat like humans; instead, they pant to cool themselves. Loud, rapid panting, however, is one of the first signs of heat exhaustion. Other signs include rapid pulse, glazed eyes, excessive salivation, elevated body temperature, excessive whining or agitation, vomiting and white or bluish gums. Only one of these symptoms has to be present to indicate your pet may be in trouble. The following tips will help protect your pets from heat exhaustion: 1. Keep plenty of cool, clean water in a spill-proof container available to your pets. 2. Bring pets inside, especially during the hottest hours of the day. Be particularly careful with senior and overweight pets. 3. Do not shave off your pet’s coat as bare skin can sunburn. Fur protects your pet from the heat and insects. 4. Walk your pet during the cooler morning and evening hours and nev-

er jog with your pet on hot, humid days. Avoid the hot pavement, which can burn and blister your dog’s paws. 5. It’s very important that you not take pets with you while running errands. The temperature inside a parked car can kill a pet in a matter of minutes, even if the windows are cracked or you park in the shade. If you suspect your pet is suffering from heat exhaustion, gently hose or sponge it down with cool water, especially on the head, paw pads and groin area. Give it small amounts of water to drink, and seek immediate care from a veterinarian. Rebecca Stevens is executive director of the Humane Society for Hamilton County .

Zecca is a 7 year old female fawn Boxer. Zecca is a very outgoing and fun-loving girl who enjoys playing with other dogs. She is good with cats and her favorite pastime is kissing as many people as she can. Zecca does have a condition known as gingival hyperplasia, meaning her gums have grown over her teeth. She will need surgery to correct the condition which will only enhance her already terrific smile. Zecca has a great temperament and would do well in a home with older children who will be gentle when playing with her. She is currently in a foster home, so please contact the staff at animalprograms@hamiltonhumane.com or 774-1263 to arrange an appointment to meet Zecca. Kimba is a 5 year old female calico DSH. Kimba is a gorgeous girl who is very social and loves attention. She gets along well with dogs as well as other cats. Kimba is good with people of all ages and she especially enjoys the company of children and she has even been known to let them dress her up in cute outfits as if she were going to hit the runway. She is litter box trained and would love to find a home to call her own. Kimba qualifies for the PAWS Program - Partnering Animals with Seniors. If you are age 55 or older, you can adopt Kimba for a reduced fee. For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974
