St.Vincent Carmel Hospital: A popular destination for expecting moms—and doctors too.

Take stroke seriously. Learn the signs and risk factors.

There are a number of questions to consider when choosing where to deliver your baby. Is the hospital home to a top-notch medical staff? Is the environment comfortable and outfitted with modern amenities and state-of-the-art medical equipment? And, if something unexpected should happen during delivery, does the hospital have the specialists and facilities required to provide the proper care and support? At St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, the answer to each of the above questions is a resounding “Yes.” It’s why an increasing number of expecting mothers are choosing to have their babies at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital. And it’s also why more Ob/Gyn professionals have moved their practices to our new and improved facility. Three different Ob/Gyn groups – including Obstetrics and Gynecology of Indiana, Comprehensive OB-GYN and Women’s Health Alliance – all now practice at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital. According to Michelle Slayman, RN, BSN, clinical director of OB services at the hospital, it’s because of St.Vincent Carmel Hospital’s commitment to putting the needs of patients first. “All of the Ob/Gyns practicing here are very patient-focused,” Slayman said. “That’s why they selected us. Because our whole philosophy is to focus on and constantly improve the patient experience.” Slayman pointed to the recent renovations that have taken place at the hospital as a prime example. “We have been expanding and improving our space for the past several months,” she said. “We reached out to mothers, and asked them what they wanted in a maternity environment, and the result is what you see in our hospital today.”

KnowYourSigns.org

The newly renovated maternity rooms at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital include rain showers, fine linens, etched glass doors and contemporary furniture. But the recent renovations address more than just comfort. The hospital is now home to new, private newborn intensive care (NICU) rooms that provide families a new level of closeness and comfort. “The private NICU rooms eliminate distraction and noise, helping protect both parents’ privacy as well as the vulnerable babies themselves,” Slayman said. The NICU rooms also include a sophisticated alarm management system so nurses can monitor babies when they aren’t in the room. More improvements are still to come, Slayman said. Construction and expansion of our labor and delivery rooms are under way as well as additional new postpartum rooms. “It’s about giving moms what they want,” she said. “And that resonates with not only moms, but families and doctors, too.”

Stroke is the third-leading cause of death in America, and the leading cause of disability in adults. Preventing a fatal stroke starts with knowing the signs and risk factors. St.Vincent Neuroscience Institute is ranked among the top 5 percent in the nation for treatment of stroke for 5 years in a row (2008-2012).* Signs of stroke include sudden numbness in the face, arms or legs (especially on one side of the body), sudden confusion and sudden severe headache. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, age and gender. Learn more about stroke signs and take a free stroke risk assessment at KnowYourSigns.org. It only takes about a minute, and it could save your life.

The Zionsville Parks and Recreation Dept. wants public input in choosing a name for the new park located at the intersection of county roads 400 S. and 875 E. The park will partly serve as a railhead for the existing Rail Trail, which could one day connect the town with Lafayette. Zionsville is already home to 3.5 miles of the Trail, and seven additional miles already exist northwest of Lebanon. “The idea for the park came on the radar in 2009,” said Parks Supt. Matt Dickey. “It has value as a railhead. The land can also be shared with a future fire station, should Zionsville’s population increase.” Dickey said the park was funded through federal monies, and not taxpayer dollars. “We applied for a grant in the same time frame as the land was closed on,” he said. “We received a $200,000 reimbursable grant, which

will be rolled back into Parks Dept. coffers.” Park names submitted for consideration should provide some form of individual Fut identity consistent with the neighborhood, ure Ra il-T geographical identification or other outstandrail ing features, as well as historical or cultural significance. The practice of using public input is likely new to Zionsville, Dickey said. “I believe it’s the first time this department has taken this stance,” he said. “We’re looking for suggestions – it’s not like a contest.” Park facilities will include an open-play area, a basketball court, bocce ball courts, shelter and picnic facilities, a playground and parking. Late summer 2013 is a potential opening date for the park. February 8, 2012 N

Nature

The demise of Mrs. Crazy Commentary By Ward Degler

Mrs. Crazy is dead. She was the mate of a lunatic cardinal who beat himself half to death a few years ago by attacking his own image in our bedroom window. I named him Crazy because of it. Last week, his mate flew headlong into our front door. I guess the reflection in the glass looked like trees and blue sky. She was lying still and cold on the welcome mat. I dropped her into the trash can with military honors. I figured if she could put up with a nutcase like Crazy, she had earned my respect. To be honest, I’m not sure that bright red arrogant bird in my yard is actually Crazy. He hasn’t gone on the attack

against my window for several years. Mostly he does normal bird things like flitting around the feeder and singing drop-dead melodious songs. When Crazy was on the offensive, however, I did everything I could think of to dissuade him from breaking his fool neck. I washed the blood streaks off the glass, closed the blinds to diffuse his reflection and even covered the outside of the window with cloth. Nothing worked. He repeatedly flew under the cloth to beat the stuffing out of his enemy in the glass. Then, for reasons known only to him, he suddenly stopped. After that, I occasionally saw him around the yard. Other than shaking his head periodically as though clearing away some unseen cobwebs, he seemed normal. He and his mate returned to routine housekeeping. Then came last week. Cardinals mate for life I’m told, and I’m sure his mate’s death was a blow for Crazy. Time is the great healer, they say, and hopefully, it works for birds as it does for humans. In the meantime, however, Crazy perches on the feeder and chirps longingly for a mate that is no longer there. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth…and Times More Recent.” You can contact him at wdegler@comcast.net.

Education

School board applies for full-day kindergarten Action: The Board of Trustees approved $1.95 million from the ZCS Rainy Day Fund to carry out the successful May 8 referendum. They also voted at their May 14 meeting in favor of applying for a grant that would fund full-day kindergarten. What it means: With the approved $1.95 million, 21 teachers and five counselors will be hired. This will lead to smaller class sizes and sustained property values. The Rainy Day fund will decrease from $2.85 million to $900,000. If Zionsville’s application for full-day kindergarten grant funding is approved, full-day kindergarten will replace the current Beyond the Kindergarten Bell (BKB) structure. A five-hour kindergarten school day would be implemented with money from the General Fund, not referendum funds. Due to the proposed five-hour configuration, ZCS would be able to purchase approximately $150,000 worth of capital necessary for the full-day kindergarten structure for only $20,386 worth of local subsidies.

What’s next: Option B of the referendum will be implemented, letting the Reduction in Force notice die. The policy on employee background checks is still undergoing consideration and was tabled until the June 11 meeting. The Board went through its first reading of new policy and will hold off on further consideration until a second reading has been completed.

A gift card with a personal message of thanks will be sent to honorees, and their names will be listed in the ZEF annual report. Your tax-deductible gift will fund grants to promote academic excellence in all Zionsville Community Schools.

Around town

BACA staff travel to annual convention editorial@youarecurrent.com The Behavior Analysis Center for Autism is sending 15 staff members to the 38th-annual Association for Behavior Analysis International convention May 25-26 in Seattle. The ABAI convention offers a unique opportunity to connect with thousands of highly qualified attendees who work in the autism field and learn about emerging trends and innovative technologies. In addition, the BACA staff will take a tour of Morningside Academy, a nonprofit school that helps elementary and middle school students catch up and get ahead by integrating a number of research-based instructional technologies including direct instruction, Precision Teaching (a precise and systematic method of evaluating instructional tactics and curricula) and talk-aloud problem solving, all within a behavior analysis framework. Typical Morningside students had not performed to their potential in their previous schools, but have average to above-average IQs, and might have diagnoses such as ADHD and mild learning disabilities. Morningside’s nationally acclaimed Foundations program includes reading, language arts and math, with basic skills and thinking, reasoning and problem solving skills embedded in each. Students enrolled in the middle school program master foundation skills, learn how to succeed in content courses and study

project-based learning strategies. After the tour, the BACA staff will attend a mini workshop in Precision Teaching procedures. BACA provides a continuum of applied behavior analysis services to children and young adults with autism in four different locations, including new centers in Zionsville and Elkhart. Treatment is based on current research findings from the most experienced scholars in the field of behavior analysis in the areas of teaching language, social, self-help, academic and employment skills.

Cover story

Tousley with Iraqi Soldiers

Tousley in Vietnam

Local Iraq vet traveling to Thailand for research work

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com

Adam Tousley, by his own admission, was pampered. He was overweight, he was in a rut and was ready to settle into a life that likely would have propagated that rut. Then, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. Things have been never the same. The 30-year-old Zionsville native and Iraq war veteran returned in March from a two-week tour of Vietnam with veterans from that war and also from the battles in Iraq. That excursion was one of a litany of trips that have colored – and will continue to color – Tousley’s life. “Life didn’t take me that way,” Tousley said of a possible Zionsville address with a wife, kids and dog. “I was always the one who wanted to get married. Now, all my friends are settled down and are like, ‘Adam, what are you doing?’” What Tousley is doing is preparing to work in Thailand for a year, as an assistant researcher on tobacco use in Southeast Asia and migrant labor. That trip comes on the heels of four years spent in Seattle, during which he earned his master’s degree in Public Administration. The move is something Tousley intends to be permanent. “Success is staying over there; success is not coming back,” he said. “I’ve been offered jobs that would keep me here, but I have an itch to scratch. I leave at the end of May, and I’ve sold everything I own.” Tousley’s transient nature stems from experiences gained in Iraq. After graduating from Zionsville High School and studying Criminology at Indiana State University, Tousley enlisted in the Army and spent two years in the Arabian

Tousley in Baghdad Desert. Ensconced with a friendly Iraqi unit during the height of that nation’s Shia and Sunni war, he began to see the world in a different light. “Coming from Indiana and being with people who are totally different from yourself is mind-

opening,” he said. “One night, I sat around the fire talking with mechanics about their Muslim faith, and I was blown away. You don’t know how different people are until you hear someone else’s perspective. Since then, I’ve had the need to work overseas.”

Graduate work in Thailand and Burma, and an Army stint in South Korea filled that requirement, and his recent Vietnam trip was similarly eye opening. Put together by PeaceTreesVietnam, a Seattle-based non-governmental organization, the tour reunited U.S. vets with their former enemies while they also visited battle sites and established a Soldier’s Sanctuary. “The most moving part was not meeting the people the vets fought,” Tousley said. “(It was when) we stopped at a bridge where one of the guys was shot, and he showed me a pic of what that area looked like then. It seemed like he was able to do a mental transition from the Vietnam he didn’t like, to the Vietnam it is today. That seemed to be happening a lot.” During the 14-day trip, the group also met former prison guards at the infamous Hanoi Hilton. “That was challenging for the vets, for obvious reasons,” Tousley said. “But it was cordial. There was a lot of healing and therapy; reconciliation is all about letting go of the past.” And so, Tousley is about to let go of some of his past and make what could be a permanent move away from his native land. If he has any concerns or doubts, he hides them very well. “All I own is in a 5-by-5 storage facility,” he explained. “If I come back, I’ll be on a friend’s couch, but at least I will have scratched my itch. I don’t have a girlfriend; the moving around has not been conducive to that. My life is open right now to whatever happens.” If Tousley’s past is any indication of his future, there will be a lot happening.

Opinion BAGI tour benefits kids’ hospital, has new ideas

Show some respect on the Monon It is our position that the Monon Trail is a great component of our community, and we should all get out this summer and use it. We need to be aware, though, that as the weather heats up, we will need to deal with an increase in Monon traffic. The Monon is open to multiple forms of recreation, which can sometimes lead to everyone moving at a different pace in a limited amount of space. So whether you walk, jog, bike or rollerblade, watch out for others moving at different speeds. We understand that everyone has their own workout routine and pace to keep. We just ask that you pay attention to where you are going and not mow anyone over. There are a lot of young kids on the trail who might not be paying attention to their surroundings or be as steady on their bikes. As the summer heats up, be sure to schedule some time to get out to the Monon. Just be sure, whatever your means of transportation, that you have a good time and allow others to as well.

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. The easiest is to e-mail it to info@currentzionsvilles.com. The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it to Current in Zionsville, 30 South Range Line Road, Carmel, IN 46032.

Facebook birthdays

Commentary by Terry Anker

Every conference and planning session at our places of work, worship and otherwise includes some discussion and consideration of how to make use of (and avoid being used by) the various social media mechanisms handily available on our computers and cell phones. Facebook, Twitter and blogging have all become established in our collective lexicon, even as new concepts like Pinterest are emerging. Yet, in spite of our noted technologic sophistication and emerging bourgeois attachment to the electronic lifestyle, we remain, at our cores, interested in the simple connection with our fellow travelers. Those of us who have made the commitment to connect check e-mail and text with an almost addictive attention. Some would feel completely isolated without an hourly review of Facebook and Twitter. Recently, with a group of well-read and interesting folks, I took note that we’d all fallen from conversation and were, instead of exchanging with our tablemates, engaged in assessment of our respective hand-held commu-

nication devices. What was it that we needed to know? Had the world changed so much in the moments since we’d last looked that we felt driven to depart from stimulating conversation to instead retreat to our own private communication? In pointing to the absurdity of our situation, one wise compatriot said, “Facebook birthdays are like elementary school Valentine’s parties.” She was both pithy and entirely correct. Even today, we revel in the fact that people think of us, counting the number of messages from online acquaintances and friends taking note of our birthdays and life passages just like, as grade-schoolers, we’d peer hopefully into our earnestly decorated shoebox longing to find it filled with small love notes – perhaps one from the pretty girl with red hair. In the end, isn’t it normal, perhaps even good, to seek connection and to care if others seek it as well?

Under the coordination of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis and benefitting Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent, Homes of Distinction at Lost Run Farm will take place June 7 through 17. Mark your calendars for this one, as it should be something to behold. BAGI, with Zionsville resident Steve Lains at the helm, has joined together a team of partners to pull off the tour of Christopher Scott’s homes. Tour hours are: Thursdays and Sundays, noon to 5 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 7 p.m. The tour is closed Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tickets, benefitting the children’s hospital, are $12 for adults and $6 for children 12 years old and younger. On site, the ticket office closes one hour before each day’s events conclude, but you can obtain tickets online at www.homeofdistinction.com/12Indianapolis/ index.php or www. give.stvincent.org/lostrunfarm. Lost Run Farm in Zionsville is west of Michigan Road on Templin Road (West 121st Street). We view this effort two ways: First, it’s a tremendous fundraiser for a wonderful cause, and it also demonstrates, contrary to semi-popular opinion, that the housing market and interest in new ideas dead. We hope you’ll enjoy the tour; we certainly will. ••• Interesting to note that a political action committee was all set to raise the specter of The Rev.

Mini-Marathon mistakes Commentary By Danielle Wilson

I completed the Mini-Marathon, and surprisingly, my experience did not exactly go as planned. Here were my pre-race goals: • Carbo load the night before with a big spaghetti and garlic bread dinner, hold the wine. Hydrate with as much water as I can stomach. • Go to bed at 9 to ensure eight hours of sleep. • Eat a bagel, banana and Power Bar for breakfast, with a half glass of water. • Arrive at the race 30 minutes before the start for a short warm-up and two bathroom breaks. • Run slower than pace for the first three miles to allow for course and weather acclimation. • Run at pace for miles four through 10, downing Gatorade at two-mile increments. • Quickly and efficiently utilize a road-side lavatory should the need to urinate arise. • Increase speed the last three miles and finish strong with a sprint. Here’s how the race actually played out: • Ate a box of sodium-laden mac-n-cheese for dinner along with a Coors Light. Forgot the water, but did remember a Twinkie for dessert. • Went to bed at 9 but did not fall asleep until 11:30 p.m., thanks to loud children, the cat (who has, I kid you not, learned to open doors) and anxiety from not being in dreamland.

ACADEMIC SKILLS DON’T LET YOUR CHILD’S LEARNING STOP JUST BECAUSE SUMMER STARTS

• Opted for coffee and the bagel as we were out of bananas and Power Bars (my teenage son had hoarded them for his soccer game). • Arrived at the race an hour early with a killer headache, and passed the time jogging back and forth to the port-a-lets, then realized I had to pee again mere seconds before the gun signaled the start. • Ran way too fast the first three miles thanks to adrenaline and peer pressure. • Realized I was moving too fast and slowed down, but not soon enough to offset the fatigue that set in around mile eight or the cramping caused from consuming too much Gatorade, which I’d religiously slugged back at every mile marker since the second. • Decided “wetting myself ” wasn’t necessarily a bad idea around mile 11. • Did not finish strong as I struggled to suppress the urge to vomit down the last stretch. And I may have been hallucinating from exhaustion, but I believe a pregnant woman and her grandmother sauntered passed me in the last 50 meters. Ah, well. I survived. Peace out.

Commentary By Dick Wolfsie

My wife and I just returned from vacation, a combination land tour and cruise along the Danube. I’d say we had a good time, but my wife says we had a great time. Mary Ellen pays a lot more attention to what’s going on, and I’ve already forgotten a bunch of the beautiful places we saw. Thank goodness for our camera, which captured our precious moments about 1,200 times. Mary Ellen will now carefully view the photos and put them into neat little digital folders showing each city we visited. This is not the filing system I would use. I’d have three folders: Mary Ellen standing in front of a castle smiling; me standing in front of a castle faking a smile; and finally, both of us standing in front of a castle hoping this complete stranger could find the zoom button and not run off with our camera. I got bored with the same pose – standing with our arms around each other – so I began to make grotesque faces at the camera, mimicking the gargoyles on the buildings behind us. When we got home, Mary Ellen told me that those 57 shots were somehow accidentally deleted. I mean, what are the chances? I recorded memories of the food we enjoyed. In Germany, I took some great sauerkraut photos. I hate to brag about my photographic skills, but in some of my shots you can see the caraway

seeds. I also captured images of all our hotel keys, something most vacationers neglect to do. One night we had a high-tech remote key that opened the hotel room with a light beam. I mention this because we futzed around with the thingamajig for two hours trying to get it to work, and the next day on the International News Channel, there was a report that garage doors were going up and down all through Europe. In Munich, we had dinner at the largest beer hall in the world, the Hofbrauhaus. By the end of the evening there were a lot of locals stretched out on the floor and many sitting in strangers’ laps – I must have gotten some great photos, because two men offered to buy all the pictures I took that night. Finally, I took a close-up of Mary Ellen’s face when she realized the power adapter was broken and she was going to have to go to the cruise gala with soaking wet hair. I couldn’t find that image in any of the files when we got home, either. It must have gotten mixed up with my gargoyle faces.

Speed ‘limits’ really just suggestions Laughs by Mike Redmond I recently drove about five hours on an interstate highway in a truck with no radio. This gave me a lot of time to think, and the subject of most of this thinking was speed limits. And what did I think when I thought about speed limits? Mostly I thought, “What’s the use?” with occasional detours into, “Who do they think they’re fooling?” and one or two side trips toward, “This is just ridiculous.” Let’s face it – speed “limits” are a joke. If we were being honest about it, the best we could call them would be “suggestions,” or perhaps “requests,” although then we’d have to order bigger signs: “If it’s not too much trouble, could you keep your speed at about 70 mph?” Of course, we all know that 70 mph translates, in real terms, into something much faster. When the speed limit is 70, you can usually count on the traffic moving a good 10 mph faster, which means that if you do drive the speed limit, someone is (a.) going to run you over from behind, (b.) honk and give you a dirty hand signal as they whip around or (c.) report you to the cops as a traffic obstruction. 12 | May 22, 2012

Oh, yes, the cops. Yes, I know they have the legal authority to enforce the speed limit, but I’m not so sure about the moral authority, since they’re usually zipping along well over the limit themselves. Or maybe it just seems that way because the only time anyone slows down is when they see Officer Friendly in the rear-view. Speed limits are in place, of course, to provide us some measure of safety. I’m all for that. And frankly, I think the people – and they are out there – who see limits as an infringement on their personal freedoms are just idiots. I am, however, willing to offer them a compromise: I think they should be allowed to exercise their freedom to drive as fast as they want, provided they do it on their own private highways, and not the ones that all of us are paying for. So there you have it. My thoughts, formed during a long drive, on interstate travel and speed limits. And I think the message is clear: I HAVE to get a new radio.

Mangia! serves up authentic northern Italian fare from Carmel City Center Review by Rachel Ferry My recent visit to Mangia! An Italian Restaurant was filled with authentic northern Italian fare and atmosphere. It was a Monday evening, and there was no need for a reservation. We were seated immediately and greeted by our very friendly server, Michelle. My husband and I started off splitting an Insalata Mista of crisp lettuce, olives, tomatoes, gorgonzola and delicious emulsified balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was served in a chilled bowl and was perfectly portioned. Some of their other antipasti selections include calamari, mussels and bruschetta. I ordered chicken Marsala. It was not on the menu, but Michelle said everything was made to order, and I could “pretty much order what I was hungry for.” I love a kitchen that is able to properly accommodate their diners. It passed with flying colors! The subtle taste of Marsala wine in the deliciously balanced sauce covered the thinly breaded chicken breasts and Portobello mushrooms. It was served with a medley of green beans, squash and tomatoes, perfectly tender and seasoned. I chose a side of penne pasta with vodka sauce as my starch. The al dente noodles were topped with a rather mild vodka sauce.

Check out NickelPlateArts.org for details on dates, locations, and times!

◆ WHAT: Mangia! An Italian Restaurant ◆ WHERE: 751 Hanover Place, Carmel City Center, Carmel ◆ PRICE: Antipasta/Salads - $6 to $12, Pasta/Secondi - $15 to $21 ◆ INFO: Visit mangiaitalian.com My husband ordered the Filetto Mangia, a signature dish of beef tenderloin that was prepared medium rare. It was topped with Portobello mushrooms and a red wine tomato sauce. The deep flavors reminded me of a slow-cooked sauce. I imagine it could be described as an Italian stew. The dish was also served with the vegetable medley and garlic mashed potatoes on the side. The mashed potatoes complemented the beef dish very nicely, and not a bite of food was left on his plate. Mangia translates to “enjoy” in English, as in a salute to tell someone to “enjoy their meal.” On our next visit to Mangia, I am sure we will do just that. Rachel Ferry is constantly inspired by the great Julia Child in her humble kitchen. You can reach her at rachelferry@me.com.

Use heat to tighten skin without surgery Commentary By Brooke Tetrault Tight, firm skin depends on healthy collagen and elastin fibers. These fibers lie deep within the dermis and act like small rubber bands holding the skin tight against our body providing the “snap-back” when loose tissue is stretched or pulled. Sun damage, smoking, weight loss and genetics all play a role in the breakdown of this collagen and elastin that results in drooping skin. For decades, surgery was the only option for patients looking for a lift. While surgery often provides immediate, long-lasting results, it can be expensive and risky, and the lengthy recovery can be difficult for those with busy schedules. Also, surgery does not address the quality of skin – it only pulls it taut. Today, often using a combination of different noninvasive methods, substantial skin tightening can be achieved without surgery. Non-invasive, no-downtime procedures are becoming more effective and affordable, making them a popular choice for patients looking to improve their appearance. The most effective no-downtime procedures use radio frequency or infrared heat energy, or a combination of the two, to target loose and sagging tissue on the face, jowls, neck, arms and abdomen. Sublime and Titan are two examples of popular treatments utilizing infrared and radio frequency for

skin tightening. These treatments work by heating the tissue under the skin's surface to induce an inflammatory response, stimulating the existing collagen and elastin fibers as well as producing new fibers. Skin looks and feels immediately firmer than before the procedure. The surface of the skin is protected from burns with a cooling device, making the treatment very comfortable. The heated collagen contracts, tightens and continues to remodel over the following three to six months. More than one treatment, spaced about one month apart, is usually needed for best results. Call your licensed, trained medical aesthetics professional to find out which procedure is appropriate for your skin type. Brooke Tetrault is director of operations at ClarityMD and can be reached at 571-8900 or info@ ClarityMD.com.

Wellness Healthy ways to enjoy summer fun HEALTH

Commentary by Karen M. Wheeler

Kids and outdoor summer fun go together like peanut butter and jelly. To keep your children protected at the pool and the playground, plan ahead and play it safe, especially when dealing with two of the season’s major health concerns: sun overexposure and insect bites. For children of all ages, I recommend applying sunscreen with an SPF greater than 15 every two hours and more frequently if kids are in the pool or under a sprinkler. It’s perfectly acceptable to use sunscreen on newborns – look for formulas made for babies, and be sure to test the product on a small area of your baby’s arm or leg before applying liberally. If the sunscreen causes redness or a rash in the test area, choose a different formula. Sun-protective clothing for kids is also available. Hats and sunglasses (rated for UVA and UVB protection) are also recommended for newborns and older children. When it comes to protecting children from insect bites, begin by ensuring kids wear long sleeves and/or long pants when outdoors after

dusk or in wooded areas. Choose an insect repellant with DEET, but never use products with more than 10 percent DEET on children. Some “deep woods” formulas contain as much as 30 percent DEET and can cause harmful reactions in children. Combination products that provide both insect and sun protection are not recommended, as these bug/sun formulas provide too much exposure to the insect repellant when applied every two hours for proper sun protection. If your child has insect bites, offering an oral antihistamine (with diphenhydramine) will help. Avoid topical diphenhydramine sprays, however, which cause sensitization. Once sensitized, a person can develop a reaction to topical diphenhydramine. For additional relief, apply a topical hydrocortisone cream to itchy bites several times a day. Cool baths help relieve itching and will keep affected areas clean to prevent infection. Karen M. Wheeler, M.D., is a pediatrician at IU Health Physicians Pediatrics, located at 1650 W. Oak St., Suite 210, in Zionsville. Dr. Wheeler can be reached at 873-8855.

Few cellulite treatments show results

Commentary By Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: I know plastic surgeons have historically performed cosmetic surgery, but today it seems many different types of doctors do it. How is it legal that so many doctors do it even though their training and specialties are different? This same situation doesn’t exist, for example, in heart surgery, so why is it so for cosmetic surgery? A: The rise of so many different doctors with widely discrepant cosmetic procedure training is fueled by many factors. The most significant is the fee-for-service basis of cosmetic sugery, which leaves it outside the boundaries of insurancereimbursed medicine where hospital and federal regulations are much more rigid. While cosmetic surgery is not new, the number of available treatment options has exploded in the past two decades. The law has yet to catch up. That being said, changes might be in the future. Last year, Puerto Rico passed a law that restricted the practice of cosmetic procedures to doctors who are board certified in either plastic surgery or dermatology. This precedent law was based on the desire for improved patient safety. In essence, base training in the rudiments of the medical procedures should make for better outcomes and lower complication rates. While such a law might be easier to pass and enforce on an island with a small population, it is not clear what impact, if any, it will have on any other state. Hopefully someday we will have better definition as to what constitutes adequate training to

perform cosmetic procedures. Q: I have previously had liposuction and a breast augmentation. I am now looking into a cellulite treatment. I am seeing that the most recommended treatment is mesotherapy. I would appreciate more information, such as costs and before and after pictures. A: The best thing that I can tell you about cellulite treatment is that there is no really effective method that produces consistent improvement, no matter what you hear and have read. Many methods are available, such as external suction and massage, topical creams, mesotherapy injections and energy-based devices. Almost all of the success from these efforts is anecdotal – reports with few clinical trials done that show satisfactory improvement in several patients. This is not to say that some of them don’t offer mild improvement, just usually not enough to satisfy most patients, especially once the cost is factored in. The only promising current method that can provide long-term improvement with a single treatment is the Cellulaze laser method. This is more of an invasive method that is a spin-off of the Smartlipo or laser liposuction method. The improvement with Cellulaze is visible and studies show sustained results after two years. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon. Comments can be sent to info@ eppleyplasticsurgery.com

Business

Self-preference can be a pitfall of people gather around to solve a problem, each approaching that problem with the same perspective and same talents, and you’ve got a perfect storm – a perfect storm of inaction. Group a bunch of fact-finder, researcher types and assign them the same problem – they’ll research it to death. Put together a group of action-oriented, catalysts on the problem and they’ll toss around ideas until somebody dies. It takes a mix, a balance, and that’s hard to assemble since you generally like people just like yourself. You hire people like yourself. You socialize with people like yourself. Face it, you prefer yourself. Maybe greater productivity lies behind the walls erected by your self-preference? Maybe working with someone not like you will lead to more productivity? Maybe you should find out.

We all have unique and different talents. It’s how the world is put together. Everyone has something that makes him or her distinctive. Everyone is a snowflake. Everyone is a thumbprint. Everyone is unique. But, far too often, we lose sight of our purest talents. It’s a common issue for organizations (and families) to overlook and misunderstand the talents and passions of their group. We all have natural instincts that were built in when we rolled off the line. As such, we all operate differently. We all do things differently. We approach problems from different perspectives, we like different things and we are, well, different. Understanding differences among people creates better relationships. Using that understanding and leveraging it creates more productivity. Here’s the pitfall: you are more inclined to like someone that sees the world the same way as you. Therefore, you are more likely to be attracted to those types of people. Sounds all good, but it can lead to a lot of not good.

The perfect kid craft Peanut butter and marshmallow play dough Commentary By Ashley Phipps This is, in my humble opinion, an example of a perfect kid craft. This is something your children can make by themselves, then play with, and it isn’t even too messy – the perfect kid craft! This is a great idea to tuck away in the back of your mind for when summer break hits and your kids are “bored” and there is “nothing to do.” Not only do your kids get to make the play dough, but they also get to play with the play dough. And I suppose if they really want to, they can eat the play dough. (Although, I would suggest they wash their hands well before beginning the activity ... but I’m crazy like that.) In any case, it isn’t toxic. All you will do is hand your child a large marshmallow or two and a spoonful of peanut butter and let them get to work. Let them mush, squeeze, roll, bend and smush it all together. Their hands will get super

messy and you will wonder what in the world I was thinking. You will think I lied to you and there is no way this is going to work. Let them continue smushing and mashing and then, after about 5 minutes, something magical will happen. Their crazy-messy hands will start to become clean. Yup! Around that point the two items will have mixed together sufficiently and it will turn into a playdough-like consistency. And their hands will be clean! Pretty amazing stuff, really! Ours was a little softer than traditional store-bought play dough, and, well, it is brown. But it is truly the magic of this project that I love! Happy crafting!

A destination wedding: Is it right for you? Commentary By Tracy Line Statistics show and experience tells me that destination weddings are on the rise. It’s not hard to understand why: a wedding in a tropical locale with sun, water and lush green gardens is nothing less than pure romance. Is a destination wedding for you? Read these commonly asked questions and the answers to help you decide. Where can I get married? Just about anywhere. Popular spots for weddings include Florida, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Mexico and a variety of Caribbean islands. You can also get married on a cruise ship. A wedding outside of the U.S. will take a bit more planning (see below). Will my wedding be legal if I get married outside of the U.S.? Yes, but you’ll need to follow the legal procedures of the country where you will be married. You may need to register your marriage with the local government (usually for a fee). And, there may be additional requirements such as remaining on the island for a set number of days. How many people can I invite? Destination weddings can be as small as you and your fiance (with a resort-supplied witness), 24 | May 22, 2012

or upward of 100 people. The larger the group, the more you’ll want to plan. Many resorts have wedding coordinators available to help you (sometimes for a fee) and travel agents can also assist in coordinating details. Are destination weddings less expensive than a traditional wedding? They can be. However, you need to consider travel expenses, and whether or not your guests can afford to come. Many resorts, Sandals included, offer a free wedding if there are a small number of guests. Free comes with a catch – you may have to book one or more rooms at the resort in return for the wedding. There also may be additional fees for items like flowers and photography. Tracy Line is the owner of Noblesville Travel and a travel writer and agent. Contact her at tracy@noblesvilletravel.com.

Spirituality The truth of the coming election LIFESTYLE

Commentary By Bob Walters

Who created truth – God or man? How one answers that question reveals much about one’s intellectual point of view in spiritual, political and moral matters, but very little about the reality of God. I bring this up because I have a hunch that man’s truth is going to take a real beating over the next several months as America enters into the throes of a debilitating rather than glorifying presidential election. Thankfully, God’s truth won’t change. Please know that I am not here to write about candidates or politics; I’m here to write about Jesus Christ and truth. And please know I am generally optimistic about America and Americans. But I am pessimistic – at this moment – about our overall cultural inclination, and indeed even our ability, to deal with truth as a “God thing.” The loudest academic and cultural voices out there want us to think truth is a “man thing.” And that makes dealing with each other exceptionally difficult. Rancor is nothing new in politics, nor, for that matter, within Christendom. But our technical ability to quickly and massively communicate ideas – right or wrong, truth or lie, helpful or hurtful, pious or impious – make the flares of insincerity and mistrust burn all the hotter. I will be among my many Christian brothers

and sisters close to hyperventilation at various points in the coming months as common-sense social conventions (family, marriage, life, faith, et al) are assaulted with intellectually, spiritually and socially specious – but politically expedient – “truth.” We will be bombarded, as G.K. Chesterton once wrote, with “truisms that are simply not true.” Satan’s most devastating temptation is to suggest that man should be God’s equal when it comes to the knowledge of good and evil, i.e., truth. Starting in Genesis 3 and for the rest of the Bible up to Revelation 20 when Satan is finally defeated, we are taught that man’s idea of his own superior truth is a “truism that isn’t true.” What I do know is what God says: “I, the Lord, speak the truth” (Isaiah 45:19). And I know what Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). And I know that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) and that “Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory” (2 Corinthians 4:17). And I know that that glory is God’s. And that’s the truth. Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com, www.commonchristianity.blogspot. com), has to work overtime to convince himself that his political opinions don’t really matter

Decorating

Love is just the beginning Commentary by Vicky Earley

Find things you love and build around them. Designers will be the first to tell you that they’d rather not start from scratch. Their best work is a combination of what you love and what they know. - Karol DeWulf Nickell, Signature Style: Creating Beautiful Interiors Decorating a room requires falling head over heels in love with one stunning textile. That one textile is the catapult for the remainder of the design. More often than not, that incredibly beautiful fabric will come with an amazing price tag. Fear not – remember that it’s just one fabulous fabric and, when mixed judiciously with moderately priced fabrics, it elevates all the players in the room. When it comes to mixing, most homeowners are comfortable with pairing a pattern with a solid. Beyond that, the thought of adding more strikes to the heart of design cowardice, and that is where so-so and polished part ways. This inspiration fabric should have at least three colors, which can be blended with two or more additional fabrics. Vary the fabrics with contrast, texture, scale, sheen and pattern. • Contrast: Overall color of one fabric should be light, with one medium and one darker. • Texture: Choose fabrics with different textures, such as a smooth silk, a woven linen or velvet. • Scale: Vary the size of the patterns by including one large, one medium and one smaller pattern or solid. For example, you might choose a large paisley, a medium stripe in coordinating colors and a small embroidered pattern or a solid texture. • Sheen: Mix shiny and matte fabrics. • Pattern: Mix curvy and linear patterns, such as a floral or a toile and a check or plaid, with a third pattern, such as a small overall print or solid color. Experiment with different fabric samples

until you find a grouping that feels comfortable then decide where they will be used. Spread the fabrics around the room to create balance. For example, if you use your inspiration fabric for draperies in your bedroom, you might use the same fabric for a couple of throw pillows, shams or a headboard. The second fabric could be used as a duvet cover and for window shades and to upholster one chair. Your third fabric might be a luxurious solid linen that can trim the window treatments, make shams or throw pillows for the bed and cover a bench at the foot of the bed. Don’t forget that your walls and floor coverings are additional areas for color, pattern and scale. Consider those elements, as well as the style and scale of your furniture, when planning a room.

Concealing your trash cans Design by Randy Sorrell We are a society of consumers, and with that comes large receptacles designed to manage our waste. It gets dutifully retrieved weekly, transported to hidden sites and gets massively degraded, piled up and sorted out. If we are fortunate, as most of us are, we have a separate receptacle specifically for items that can be smartly recycled. I love this act. Newspapers, cans, glass and plastics often go to a separate sorting facility, shipped off elsewhere and magically turned into fun things we happily consume all over again. The “opportunity” for thoughtful homeowners concerned about home values and curb appeal, is what to do with these obese trophies of consumption … the trash receptacle itself. These guys are large enough to consume a small Volkswagen and usually smell like my back seat with a forgotten banana and last week’s fitness gear. Fortunately, there are several clever solutions to manage the view of unsightly trash receptacles. Some have garages large enough to safely store them, although the smell can be a con-

sideration. Others are forced to deal with them outdoors and would prefer to hide them. This happy homeowner had the desire to confine their trash cans, utilities and air conditioning units staring at the end of the driveway. A brilliant design (meaning, not mine) grouped these issues behind custom privacy panels with tasteful landscaping to soften the area. The privacy panels were constructed of premium cedar with oversized posts and trim details to help it blend tastefully with the architecture of the home. I love the texture contrasts of climbing hydrangea, smooth Karl Forester grasses and formal boxwoods, which are repeated elsewhere in the landscape. A traditional blue stone path carries happy guests around the forgotten utilities onto an inviting patio and gracious outdoor living space. Enjoy your backyard!

Green kitchens: A stroke of genius Commentary By David Decker

They say that to lower your golf score, start on the green and improve your putting, because that’s where most wasted strokes happen. And I say, to improve your home’s overall green profile, start in the kitchen, because that’s where most wasted energy happens. The U.S. Department of Energy says that 41.5 percent of a home’s energy is consumed by lighting, refrigeration and cooking. Add in other kitchen energy needs – such as water heating, space heating and cooling, special ventilation, dishwashers, small appliances, ice makers, garbage disposals – and it’s easy to see how savvy energy and environmental impact management creates not just a healthy, efficient and sustainable “green” kitchen, but more folding “green” – i.e., cash – too. Home improvement professionals provide front-to-back advice on the possibilities and equations for “greening up” an existing kitchen. Certainly, appliances with the “Energy Star” seal are a great place to start, but a truly green kitchen improvement project has countless subtle components built in. For example, natural light is good, but if the windows leak air or the skylights leak water, that’s not energy or functionally efficient. Low-flow faucets are good, but how far is the plumbing run Small is OK – Is your dining room more of a nook? Installing a banquette is an easy way to have chairs without taking up a lot of space, and a pedestal table is small, yet efficient. - betterhomesandgardens.com 28 | May 22, 2012

from the water heater to the faucet? Closer is better. Low energy lights are good, but if you cannot see, say, to dice an onion with a sharp knife, then the result could leave you in stitches … literally. Bamboo and cork are waterproof, comfortable and enviro-friendly flooring materials, but they have a premium initial cost. Natural stone countertops are beautiful, but depending on type and source, some are “greener” than others. Induction cooking ranges, exterior wall insulation, timers on electrical switches, green food waste disposal, built-in recycle systems and many more thoughtful strategies not only make a green kitchen par with the environment, but also a stroke of financial genius. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies.com.
