REASONS WHY CHILDREN SHOULD PLAY ORGANIZED SPORTS

n the past 30 years, obesity has more than doubled in young children and quadrupled in adolescents, potentially leading to a host of chronic diseases later in life, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Conversely, the CDC reports that regular physical activity y provides a long list of physical benefits for children, childre but that’s not all. Daily exercise also promotes mental and emotional well-being that includes self-esteem.

“By now, I don’t think anyone is surprised that regul regular exercise is good for children and inactivity places them at risk for illnesses later in life, but when you take a m moment to consider the data in-depth for children who exercise and deplay organized sports, the d tails of a child’s future com come to life,” says Danyel Surrency Surren Jones, president of Power To Give and co-founder of Pow Powerhandz Inc., (powerhandz (powerhandz. p com), a company specializin specializing in athletic training products produc to improve performance performanc in baseball, basketball and football.

Danyel and her business partner and husband, Darnell Jones, a former form professional basketball player who also co-founded Powerhandz, want wan children in their community and beyond to benefit from the values learned from youth sports. That’s why they created the Power To Give program, which promotes positive develo development.

“We believe in the power of sports to change a kid’s life for the better,” says Darnell, who lists five significant benefits of youth sports.

SPRING 2015

• Offers a sense of accomplishment, confidence and self-esteem: As the CDC noted, simply being physically active builds self-esteem. We are physical beings who are not meant to sit in front of a videogame for several consecutive hours.

“Again, if you’re a physically active adult, you feel that sense of accomplishment in outdoing your last performance at the gym,” Danyel says. “Kids feel a similar way learning new skills and succeeding in a game, except more so.”

2 3 4 5

Builds better peer relationships: Children want to fit in, but it’s not always easy. Organized sports hurdles the high wall of social awkwardness so many children feel. Team sports such as baseball, basketball and football demand participants to work together for a common goal, which is a valuable lesson some adults still haven’t learned while interacting at work.

More restraint in avoiding risky behavior: Ideally, parents can get their children engaged — in anything that’s productive, really. Bored or disengaged children have a way of getting into trouble. A student is less likely to misbehave in class or break the law if it means getting kicked off the team of a sport they love.

Greater family attachment and frequent interactions with parents: Famous athletes say it all the time, “Thanks Mom. Thanks for driving me to and from practice, and thanks nks for showing up at the games.” And that doesn’t even count helping a child with actual practice — playing catch, squaring off one-on-one, etc.

Cultivates a positive attitude: Sports are demanding.

Come game time, a young athlete wouldn’t last long with a negative mindset.

“Practice is no cakewalk either,” Darnell says. “As adults, we understand the need to hype ourselves before hitting the gym. The rewarding feeling we get walking out from the gym is similar to what young people feel after a game or tough practice.”

Auctioneering business sells a little bit of everything

There is all kinds of furniture ready to be auctioned off.

By Devan Strebing Devan.strebing@flyergroup.com Tom and Jennifer Freije have been in the auction business in Hendricks County since 2002, with their business continuing to grow Freije & Freije Auctioneers started as a department store called Freije’s Farm Store in 1950 when owner Tom Freije’s father opened to sell groceries, appliances, gasoline — you name it.

The elder Freije held his first auction in 1957 with one auctioneer.

Tom Freije then got bit with the auctioneering bug.

“My friend’s father owned the largest farm machine auction in Stilesville, and after teaching school for a while, I decided I wanted to do something different,” he said.

“When I first started, there were livestock sales around. I sold that mostly. I was then a transportation auctioneer for a few years and sold horses and cars.”

After Freije’s son got his auctioneering license in 2002, the Freije’s opened the family business.

ters and friends help run the business.

“I consider all of them family,” Freije said. “The Lord has blessed us to have a good following; we try to service the

customer’s need, we don’t want you to go away with a bad taste in your mouth if something goes wrong.”

Freije’s is mainly consignment, but they

do buy inventories, estates, households and single items too.

Freije & Freije’s Auctioneers have many auctions a year and manage sales in five states. This April alone they have four sales in Indiana.

They do internet only auctions — a timed auction where bids can only be placed over the Internet by Freije & Freije Auctioneers bidders. No live bidding is taking place at a physical location, and live auctions — an auction that takes place at a designated place and time, where bidders can browse the auction lots and place their bids in person.

“Each auction is different,” Jennifer Freije, Tom’s wife, said.

“We have everything you can think of … tools, nursery stock, furniture, pots and pans, dishes, glassware, jewelry and blankets.”

Jennifer Freije was originally going to be an elementary music teacher but instead gave piano lessons for years and now helps out her husband.

She is a real estate broker but said she’s not an auctioneer.

“I do oversee a lot of things,” she said. “You meet a lot of nice people — it’s a fun job but it takes a lot of time. We move at a quick pace, but people like it.”

To become an auctioneer, the Freijes said you have to have an outgoing personality.

“Every auctioneer has to have an ego,” Tom Freije said.

“You have to like people and want to be in front of people,” Jennifer Freije said.

As for the future, Tom Freije said his son and grandsons will

take the business over, and will hopefully continue to grow.

He said the staff that works for him is much more progressive than a lot of other auction companies.

“We have a really good staff — they’re all licensed auctioneers,” he said. “They take pride in what they do; they know if the business succeeds, they succeed.”

Freije & Freije Auctioneers have some real estate auctions coming up.

They are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 2268 W. U.S. 40, Clayton.

HC TEACHERS Recognized for creative passions TOP RIGHT: LEGO MANIA: Butler says her students love to play with Legos but they learn from them as well.

SEARCHING FOR SHELLS: At the beach in Cornwall, England, Butler will be searching for Lego pieces instead of shells.

By Melissa Gibson Melissa.gibson@flyergroup.com One hundred educators across the state of Indiana were recognized this spring in the form of a Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship.

Each educator will receive a $10,000 grant with the goal of supporting a summer project of both personal and professional fulfillment.

In its 28th year, the grant has given financial support and encouragement to nurture the commitment to education. Many teachers will learn, grow and engage in activities this summer only to bring back what they’ve acquired and apply it to the classroom.

Hendricks County had seven educators receiving the grant for the summer of 2015: Jared Emmons, Christopher Hill, Joseph Risch and Lori Taylor from Avon High School; Becky Butler from White Lick Elementary School in Brownsburg; Lisa Johnson from Regan and Brown elementary schools in Brownsburg; and Brenton Williamson from Danville Middle School.

The recipients applied in early November for the grant, citing specific goals and aspirations for the support and the more creative, the better. Winners will be traveling to Spain, Germany, Africa and Ireland. They will write novels, work on a farm, trace ancestry and learn the sport of fly fishing.

Each grant represents the passions teachers don’t often get to encourage within themselves and the opportunity to continue learning by exploration.

Christopher Hill, a business and technology teacher at Avon High School and lead teacher for the Robotics team said the project is not meant to be a vacation. It’s creative renewal for teachers.

Hill will be bicycling across the TransAmerica Trail, from Yorktown, Va., to Astoria, Ore. — 4,228 miles — leaving the first day of summer and returning on the last.

“I’m going to ride from ocean to ocean and along the way, I’ll be doing a lot of collaborating with people that work in my field,” Hill said. “So, I’ve got about 20 meetings set up varying from college deans to a big solar field in Colorado; anything that involves what I do with STEM and robotics.”

Hill will also visit with a couple of robotics teams across the country.

“The reason I do that is because in my profession the best I can do is through collaboration,” he said. “Seeing the new technology, what others are doing in their classrooms and bringing that back to Avon High School.”

An avid cyclist, Hill said when most people turn 16 they put the bicycle away, but “for me, that never really happened.” He often commutes to and from work and enjoys the challenge of a long ride.

He has participated in day-long biking trips such as a ride across Indiana — approximately 160 miles. On a trip this strenuous and physically taxing, there are more challenges than just the cycling itself.

“The physical ride will be a challenge, but nutrition is going to

be a big thing,” Hill said. “I will be burning between 8,000 and 10,000 calories a day so I have to eat 8,000 to 10,000 calories a day. If you’re running a marathon, the next day, you recover. I have to eat that much every day and eat while riding. By the time you realize you’re hungry, it’s way too late.”

Hill will also be blogging throughout the journey. Follow him at Chillbikeacrossamerica@wordpress.com.

“I really do feel like I’m representing my school. I love teaching here. I have a great group of kids, it’s a great place to teach,” Hill said. “My best friend and I used to talk about riding to Florida when we were kids. This is kind of full circle for me in that regard. It’s partially professional but partially personal.”

Joseph Risch, a sixth-grade special education teacher at Avon Intermediate East understands the feeling.

Risch grew up watching his grandfather work with wood in his shop.

“I would hang out with him when I was out of school and my parents were working,” he said. “It was always neat to watch, but I didn’t know what he was doing.”

Risch and his grandfather have a lot of similar characteristics; they’re both teachers named Joe. “There are a lot of things we share, but this is not one of them,” he said.

Risch will be living in Milan, Italy, for six weeks this summer, learning the craft of woodworking and sculpting.

The school, Bioforme, offers a course from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. He and his wife will be renting an apartment in the heart of Milan, hopefully blending in with the local culture.

Not only will he have an experience of a lifetime, but Risch will be able to bring what’s he’s learned back to his classroom.

“I think one of the biggest things is so much of our kids are inside these days,” Risch said. “They are so much about technology. I think technology is great. I have an iPad and iPhone, but it doesn’t replace being able to create things with your hands and learning person to person.

“As great as YouTube is, you aren’t really learning until you’re actually doing it, so for me, it’s teaching the kids that they can create things with their hands.

You can make a living with this or have a great hobby. Showing them this is a real skill and something they could do.”

Avon offers spring and fall break enrichment camps and Risch hopes to bring what he’s learned back to the classroom with a camp teaching students the basic tools and fundamentals of woodworking. fact, he’s spoken to Hill about inIn fact corporating technology and robotics into corporati what the students are learning as well.

“Avon had four Lilly scholarships awarded. It continues to ship

promote that fact that we perform well within the state but we also continue to educate the whole student,” he said.

“We have teachers going out and learning about education in a different way. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Becky Butler knows all about once in a lifetime opportunities. The kindergarten and first-grade teacher from White Lick Elementary in Brownsburg had originally emailed Lego headquarters in an effort to connect with an engineer in Denmark.

Billund, Denmark, is the family owned Lego headquarters and upon discussion, it was suggested to Butler that the Lego Experience Tour; offered four times per year and at a cost of more than $2,500 is the best way to experience what is Lego.

“You stay at Lego Land and you meet the family, designers and engineers and see what the company is like,” she said.

“Registration was at 7 a.m. one morning and I kept clicking refresh, refresh, refresh on my computer. At 7:05 a.m., my registration was complete and I was on a waiting list.”

She since has been bumped up to the attendee list. From Billund, Butler will fly to Cornwall, England.

“I read an article that talked about this cargo ship that was basically full of Legos off the coast and they had a shipwreck about 15 years ago. In the past five years or so, these Legos have been washing up on the beach. So, instead of searching for shells, you search for Legos.”

Surprisingly, Legos provide a great learning tool in the classroom. Butler will launch a Lego League on the elementary level upon her return this fall. (Brownsburg High School already has an established club).

“I’ve noticed a lot of my girls love Lego, which is great and growing up I loved Legos too but I felt as we get older, most girls make that shift away from math and science and you do the writing and read books,” she said. “I still love that, but I would also love to keep these girls harnessed in enjoying the math and science.”

Butler said in recent years, Lego has grown from when she was growing up.

“It amazes me how much my kids talk about Legos and at indoor recess there is an argument about who gets to the Legos first.”

WRITING SKILL: Brent Williamson spent three years writing his novel, The Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray.

LIFELONG BIKER: Christopher Hill enjoys leisure biking. This will be his first cross-country cycling trip.

“I’m going to ride from ocean to ocean and along the way, I’ll be doing a lot of collaborating with people that work in my field.”

– CHRISTOPHER HILL

Educationally, “it’s just a nice connection for them,” Butler said. “It helps them remember (the lesson) a lot better and they get excited about it.”

She calls the Lilly experience “humbling.”

“It’s such an amazing opportunity to be able to pursue passions outside of the classroom, yet find ways to tie it back into our professions. Just to read about the adventures people are taking — it’s amazing. I think mine is cool, but some of the others … I wouldn’t have even thought of that.”

Butler will also be stopping into the elementary school of a friend’s son while in England.

“Her son is in kindergarten and his school does a lot of things with Legos. It’s fun to see how kids all over the world are interested in this; it’s something that can unite them.”

Another tool that unites people across the globe is classic literature.

Brent Williamson, a fifth-grade teacher at Danville Middle School, will begin his summer journey on a four-day writer’s workshop at Indiana University.

His transcript, The Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray, is about the “loneliest little girl in the most boring city on the planet.

It’s a city with no stories and she has a huge imagination.”

Williamson hopes to get the first few pages of his transcript impeccable and then learn more about pitching the idea to publishers; which he has the opportunity to do before the summer ends.

SPRING 2015

“It’s a generative workshop — coming up with new ideas and starting new stories, but also revising current work,” he explained.

Shortly after the IU workshop, Williamson will be visiting London, England; the home of classics such as The London Zoo (Winnie the Pooh), Paddington Station (Paddington Bear), Platform Nine and Three Quarters (Harry Potter).

In Oxford, Williamson will take a walking tour regarding C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

“We’ll eat at the pub where they used to visit and swap stories,” he said.

Another tour takes participants through Oxford College and the history of Louis Carroll (Alice In Wonderland). Williamson will see Charles Dickens’ home, Kensington Gardens and J.M. Barrie’s home (Peter Pan).

His book, Williamson said, is “not something I did for a grant. It’s my passion project. I’ve made it a part of my class and I show my students the writing process.”

Williamson will make a snapfish book of his journey through England and surrounding areas, and share it will his students.

Once back in the United States, he will attend a New York City Writers Digest Conference. Classes will be offered in writing, publishing and submitting to agents.

“There’s even an afternoon of pitching to agents — kind of like speed dating — so I’ll be able to take my book and in person, actually pitch it,” he said.

What might seem intimidating for some is something Williamson has looked forward to for years.

“The biggest training is to have no barrier between having an idea and doing it,” he said. “Bridging the gap between a good idea and making it happen.”

Of being among peers and past winners of the grant, Williamson said he is excited and honored.

“I just wish there was a dinner or reception or something where we could all get together and learn about what each other were doing,” he said. “Part of me feels like this grant was there and I tricked them into giving me this money and on the other hand, it’s exactly what the grant is for — teacher passion projects.”

State sees gain in students meeting FAFSA deadline

M

ore than 9,000 more Indiana high school seniors completed the Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA) on time in 2015 compared to 2014, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) announced.

This is an increase of 12 percentage points, from 66 percent of all public and private high school seniors in 2014 to 78 percent of all high school seniors in ‘15.

“Gains of this magnitude deserve to be celebrated and recognized,” Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers said. “Indiana’s school counselors, college advisors and community partners — as well as students and their families — should be commended for their efforts to increase the number of Hoosiers who qualify for college financial aid.”

About $300 million in state financial aid for college is available this year for Indiana students who qualify. To be eligible to receive these funds, students are required to complete the FAFSA by Indiana’s March 10 filing deadline.

Beyond determining state and federal financial aid, colleges use information from the FAFSA to determine their scholarship awards.

For that reason, ICHE encourages all high school seniors to complete the free application online at www.fafsa.gov, regardless of their financial aid eligibility.

For those who filed their FAFSA on time, the deadline for submitting any corrections or edits to the form is May 15.

Students can check their FAFSA status via eStudent, a self-service website to help Indiana residents track and verify state financial aid awards.

For more helpful information on the FAFSA and other financial aid resources and tips, access Learn More Indiana’s Cash for College website at CashForCollegeIndiana.org. The site offers free tools and advice for K-12 students, current college students and returning adult students — including the Indiana College Costs Estimator.

FARMER PUSHES FOR

CONSERVATION

By Devan Strebing Devan.strebing@flyergroup.com Mike Starkey of Brownsburg was recently named a regional winner of the 2015 Conservation Legacy Awards by the American Soybean Association (ASA) for his achievement as a soybean farmer.

The Conservation Legacy Awards Program is a national program designed to recognize the outstanding environmental and conservation achievement of U.S. soybean farmers. A national selection committee — composed of soybean farmers, conservationists and natural resource professionals — evaluated nominations based on each farmer’s environmental and economic program. Along with ASA, the program is co-sponsored by BASF, Monsanto, Corn & Soybean Digest magazine and the United Soybean Board/Checkoff.

Starkey is a member of the Hendricks County district of the soybean association. He is a supervisor and as of Jan. 1, the state president of the Indiana Association of Water Conservation District.

All of the districts have a state association that oversees all of the districts.

“We promote conservation for clean water and soil health,” Starkey said.

He hosts several field days for other farmers, goes to schools to educate, is involved with IUPUI and hosts kindergarteners at the sixth generation Starkey farm in Brownsburg.

Starkey inherited the farm and is the fourth generation. He runs the farm with his son, nephew, his nephew’s son and a full-time employee.

In addition to a dramatic reduction of commercial fertilizer, Starkey has used no-till soybeans since 1989 and introduced cover crops in 2005. He also entered in a Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) field grant study to monitor tile and stream water.

Starkey considers himself a conservation farmer.

“I inherited this farm and I want to keep it and improve upon it,” he said. “I have seen severe erosion and water issues, but we want to pass it on to the next generation to improve upon.”

He said it is critical considering where his farm is located. The majority of the water flows into the Eagle Creek Reservoir for drinking water.

“I’m on the forefront of making sure we have no issues; we don’t want to pollute the water source,” he said. “We want to keep nutrients here on the farm.”

Starkey said many farmers get a bad rap, but most are concerned about conservation.

“We want to educate others that what we’re doing is good for the environment; we want to educate children, to show that we are doing good and feeding the world,” he said.

Starkey traveled to Phoenix, Ariz., in February and was recognized at the ASA Awards Banquet along with Steve Berger of Wellman, Iowa, and Jimmy Thomas of Timberlake, N.C. Berger was the national winner, but Starkey was humbled to be nominated.

“I was honored to receive the award,” he said.

Starkey is also involved with legislators, discussing his farm and conservation with the likes of Sen. Joe Donnelly.

“My legacy as a conservationist is to improve and protect the borrowed living soil that God has given us and to keep our water clean and pure as the raindrops that fall from the sky.”

Q&A Capt. Amanda Goings, Support Services Commander, PIO Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office

Where are you from?

I grew up in Franklin Township in Hendricks County, about midway between Coatesville and Stilesville. We had a Coatesville address, but I lived in Stilesville’s school district (before Amo and Stilesville were merged into Mill Creek West). I’m a graduate of Cascade High School.

What were you doing before becoming PIO? Were you in the sheriff’s department?

I started my career at the Sheriff’s Department in 1996 as an enforcement deputy. ( I dispatched for four months prior to attending the Law Enforcement Academy.) I was on patrol for approximately eight years before being assigned to the Investigations Division as a general assignment detective in 2004. The “general assignment” meant I investigated any type of case, from “misdemeanors to murder.” I was a detective just prior to my current assignment as PIO/Quartermaster and Support Services Commander.

What prompted you to move to this position?

Sheriff Brett Clark had confidence that I would thrive in this position and invited me to join his administration. I love this agency, so for me it was a “no brainer” to accept his offer. After 10 plus years as a detective, I was ready to try something new. There is a prominent attitude of service in law enforcement officers. I still hold this to be one of the noblest professions. Of course, there are always areas where we can improve. After all, we are humans underneath the badge and uniform. I want to represent our department in the professional light that we strive to maintain every day.

SPRING 2015

16

What has it been like since taking on this role?

It has been busy and fantastic! I have been a police officer for a long time, but this administrative side of the job is completely new to me. I have learned a lot, and I’m confident I have only scratched the surface. I am scheduled for additional training specific to my PIO role, but I also handle the quartermaster system for the sheriff’s department, coordinate training for all of our officers, and command the Support Services Division which includes our civil process servers and the lieutenant over the county fleet. So far, it’s not been the same day twice.

Can you tell us about your family?

I LOVE talking about my family. I was raised in a big family with lots of aunts and uncles and cousins. We gathered every weekend at my grandparents’ house for Sunday meals after church and played outside. There were cookouts, fireworks, roller skating, fishing, and basketball tournaments galore. I have one brother, Wade. He and I have always been close; as a child, we even had our own “secret language.” As an adult, he is still one of my closest friends. Wade and I live in the same town and after more than a week or two of being busy, one of us will call the other just to say “I miss you.” I am married to my amazing husband, John.

We met in junior high school on the swim team and went our separate ways as we grew up. He went off to the Army and the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia and I went off to college in Indianapolis. As adults, we reunited and were married last year in Florida on the beach. I brought two daughters to our family and he brought three daughters and a son. They range in age from 22 to 3 years old, quite literally from college to preschool. There’s never a dull moment around our place!

Law Enforcement Academy are some of the most special days in your life. It ranks right up there with marriage and childbirth. Especially if it’s a career that you have wanted and worked toward for a lot of years. I knew I wanted to be a police officer since I was a teenager. My Mom kept hoping I would change my major in college, but I never did.

In the end, I don’t think my parents could have been any prouder of the woman I’ve become. There have been so many wonderful moments in my career over the last 19 years (Honor Guard Details, Hostage Negotiation Certification, Special Olympics Ceremonies, Firearms Instructor Certification.) I was encouraged to start a scrapbook of sorts very early on in my career, by Susie Austin.

Susie was hired as a civilian employee, but then later in her career became a detective specializing in child abuse cases. She retired in 2002 and succumbed to cancer in ‘03. I have been collecting those scrapbook type items through the years and will likely someday put them together in an organized fashion. I am the first female captain the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department has seen, and who knows, maybe my best highlight is yet to come.

What do you hope for your future?

I want to continue serving the citizens of Hendricks County. I want to keep working hard for the deputies that put their lives on the line for our community. I want the community to know what a valuable resource they have here at the sheriff’s department.

Sometimes you will hear or see things on the news that may tarnish the badge and the reputation of the police. Those incidents are truly the minority compared to the positive things that our officers do. I want to continue to “humanize the badge.” Our officers are men and women, fathers and mothers, friends, family and colleagues. We simply choose to put others before ourselves and serve this community with integrity and humility.

What do you do when you aren’t on the job?

My favorite past times are swimming, cooking, and spending time with my family.

We enjoy watching TV, going to the park and sitting outside by the pool. I love to cook out on the grill and listen to music.

What have been the highlights of your career?

I think the day you get hired as a police officer and the day you graduate from the

ARTHRITIS ARTH RITIS Not just a disease for the elderly

By Melissa Gibson Melissa.gibson@flyergroup.com Imagine your concern when your 10-month old, just learning to walk, develops a limp on one side. A few weeks later, while visiting relatives, they notice it too.

The pediatric physician prescribes a dose of steroids and sends you on your way. Seven months and several doctors later, a pediatric rheumatologist confirms the symptoms — it’s arthritis.

Chrissy Rose of Avon, mother of 3-year-old Carson, said she told the doctor “no, it isn’t.”

“I didn’t even know (juvenile arthritis) was a thing. It was brand new to us,” she added.

The disease is new to many people who never realized that arthritis affects the young as well as the old. In fact, 1.4 million Hoosiers — nearly one in four people — have been diagnosed with arthritis or an arthritis-related condition. Of that, about two-thirds of people with arthritis are under the age of 65.

It is so rare that finding a pediatric arthritis physician is not an easy task.

“We were super lucky because I’ve found that there are a lot of states that don’t have one at all,” Rose said. “I met a woman through this process that drives six hours to see her daughter’s rheumatologist every time she has an appointment.”

Given the chance to move to Indianapolis for her husband’s job, Rose said, finding a rheumatologist was one of the things they had to have in order for him to accept the job. They now see Dr. Kathleen O’Neill at Riley Hospital for Children.

families are going through.

At 18 months, Carson underwent his first round of joint injections in both knees and wrists. Today, he’s what doc-

tors call “poly-articular” meaning arthritis is in at least eight joints, but they believe there are probably more like 10 to 12 joints affected.

Carson receives joint injections every week, administered by his parents. Sister Kylie, 7 1/2, notes that “he gets candy afterwards.”

“What’s scary for us is that for some things, they honestly don’t know what will happen,” Rose said. “When we started this process, they told us that there was a 50/50 chance he would outgrow it. As he gets older and still has it, the chances go down.”

Carson sees an ophthalmologist every 90 days to monitor his eye health and just recently decreased his rheumatologist appointments from every 60 days to every 120 days.

“It makes me the saddest to think it’s something that he has dealt with forever,” rose said. “He doesn’t know life without pain. I guess that’s a good thing and a bad thing.

“He lives a pretty active, typical life, and some days are better than others. It’s a part of our life every day. There are times when he goes a couple of days when nothing bothers him and then there are others that he sits down in the middle of something and says ‘I can’t walk anymore.’”

Nikky Saxon knows all about dealing with the ups and downs of a chronic disease like arthritis.

At 18, Saxon moved from the west coast to Indianapolis, having been accepted to Indiana University-Purdue University of Indianapolis — the only college in the country offering a motorsports engineering bachelor degree.

“In my first few weeks of being here, my left knee swelled up. It actually locked up my knee. I couldn’t move it more than 5 degrees or so,” she said. “At first, they thought it was inflammation in my knee but after a few months, it traveled to my index finger. All of my fingers were

straight and one was at a 90 degree angle.”

Saxon said the diffi culty in dificulty agnosing her disease,, paired with the frequent pain and d symptoms, caused her school work ork to suffer.

“I will feel so bad that I can’t take notes and I’m almost most falling asleep from the pain,” ,” she said.

“My hands will swell up and they get red and very hot. It’s like being sick all the time.”

That’s a problem for or any student, but a major issue for someone in her chosen en field.

Through research and help from her parents, Saxon, along g with Chrissy and Carson Rose, has been connected to the arthritis foundation. Both young people will serve as honorees at Indy’s Walk to Cure Arthritis at Wood Plaza on the IUPUI campus May 16.

Dr. Randall Weed of Indiana University Health Hospitals will serve as the medical rheumatologist honoree as well.

MONEY Find out how to be comfortable after retirement

Blueprint for fast-tracking retirement

W

hat does it take to be comfortable during retirement?

Conventional wisdom calls it the 4 percent rule — withdrawing about that amount from your nest egg each year to live comfortably. And, for that, millions of Americans believe they need to stick to a job they don’t like during their earning years.

“Unfortunately, the kind of money retirees want to spend each year for a comfortable lifestyle tends to be about $60,000, which means someone’s nest egg would have to be $1.5 million for that rate of withdrawal to sustain for 25 years,” says financial advisor Dave Lopez, a mathematics and computer science major who applies his analytical mind to solving retirement challenges.

“Of course, there are additional sources of income during retirement, such as social security, but the program may not survive the coming decades. And, there are additional costs of retirement, including legacy interests and the likelihood of needing long-term medical care.”

The fact is that millions of retirees simply do not have or will not have the kind of income they’d like to have during retirement.

Lopez, founder of ILG Financial, LLC (www. theilg.com), discusses an alternative approach to the golden, or distribution years.

• Remember, Social Security is a welfare program. Before President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935, seniors worked. America was an agrarian culture, and many who were in their 60s and 70s usually continued duties on the family farm, albeit handling lighter tasks.

• You don’t have to remain stuck in your “earning” job. “The U.S. government is the biggest employer in the world, and I work with many of its employees,” he says. “They SPRING 2015

usually have high-stress jobs and usually want to retire as early as possible and, while leaning on their pension, start working on their own terms as government contractors.”

• Consider retiring early and working the job you’ve always wanted. The model frequently followed by retired government workers can be replicated by millions of other retirees. You don’t need a $1.5 million nest egg when you combine Social Security with a smaller withdrawal amount and a fun

job earning $20,000 a year. Retirees can be creative in how they earn this “fun money.”

“Let’s say your passion is water skiing — why not parlay this hobby into a career?”

Lopez says. “You’ll likely have decades of experience and plenty of contacts. You might work for a ski shop or create a small business giving lessons. Doing something you love is a great way to stay active as an older person.”

• No pension? Create your own. The days of working 30 years for a single company and collecting a sizeable pension are mostly over. This means retirees need to get creative and rely on other sources of income, including IRAs and strategies for annuities — effectively creating their own “pension.”

Annuities are contracts with insurance companies. The contracts, which can be funded with either a lump sum or through regular payments, are designed as financial vehicles for retirement purposes. The money used to fund the contract grows tax-deferred. Unlike other tax advantaged retirement programs, there are no contribution limits on annuities.

“Annuities provide plenty of opportunity,” he says. “Of course, creative options also yield the risk of complexity. You’ll want to be sure to know what you’re doing, or at least consult with an accredited professional.”

• Consider lifestyle changes. Through the distribution years, you should consider moving to a place where the cost of living is cheaper than major metropolitan areas.

Simply put, you’ll want your money to go further. Take a play from younger folks who are cutting their cable in favor of only Wi-Fi access. Learn how to cook delicious meals on a budget. For many, learning how to make one’s money work better for them, rather than working for their money, is a preferable lifestyle.

SALSA VERDE IS SERVING UP AUTHENTIC MEXICAN EATS

By Steven Penn Serving up authentic Mexican cuisine in a casual atmosphere is the goal at recently opened Salsa Verde Mexican Restaurant & Taqueria right outside of Avon.

While the atmosphere and setting is casual at the restaurant at 55 S. Raceway Road, the quality of the food is anything but haphazard.

Cousins and co-owners Adrian Rivera Arechiga and Paul Arechiga said the Mexican cuisine is prepared using family recipes passed down to them.

“It’s all handmade and our own recipes,” Adrian said.

The restaurant, which has been open for a little more than six weeks, is actually the third Salsa Verde they have opened.

The other two are in Illinois.

Adrian and Paul said they wanted to serve authentic Mexican fare with some Tex-Mex fusion.

“It’s the best of both worlds,” Adrian said.

What’s important, the two noted, is letting the customer customize their order when it comes to salsas and other garnishes.

For instance, their tacos come loaded

with meat, but Salsa Verde offers a salsa bar for further customization.

“That’s primarily to add garnish — even more — to your dish,” Adrian said. “As a taqueria, we do the open face (corn tortilla) taco with no fillings so people can do as they want. It’s available to everybody even if they have salsa already.”

The salsas range from mild to hot, with their specialty — lent as the name of the store — being the salsa verde.

As for the other dishes, there are a multitude of Mexican dishes from tortas to tamales and everything in between.

Some of their most ordered items, they said, are their Los Favoritos, which are

Thursday is $5 tortas.

Adrian said they want wan to serve their customers generous genero portions of high-quality food.

“People have been raving ra about the portion size,” he said. sai While the food-quality food-qualit is certainly more like a classic sit-d sit-down Mexican restaurant, the process proc of ordering is more “fast food” like in that customers order at the register and wait for their food.

stands that might be a little different than people are prepared for. “(We want to be) authentic and casual —we’re trying to make a twist,” he said. “A lot of people are afraid to come in. They want to see a waiter.

It’s more about the customization for them, rather than the pain of us doing something they don’t like.”

In addition to their food, they also offer a full bar for drinks like margaritas and Mexican beer.

Catering is also an important aspect of Salsa Verde, Paul said. They can cater almost any sized function.

HEART DISEASE HEALTH IN WOMEN

Taking care of your heart

IS STAG

GERING

Key factors in determining your risk level for heart disease

Content provided by Dr. Kevin Hartzell, co-director of the Hendricks Regional Health hospitalist program.

One of the most common conditions facing women today is heart disease, yet many women do not even know they are at risk.

In fact, the numbers are staggering. An estimated 43 million women in the U.S. are affected by heart disease.

Each year, heart disease is responsible for one in every three women’s deaths, killing approximately one woman every minute.

Being aware that women are at risk for heart disease and realizing the magnitude of women affected is the first step to help protect against heart disease.

There are several reasons why heart disease has such a significant impact on women. Generally, heart disease was thought to be more common in males.

On the contrary, nearly 65,000 more women than men die of the disease annually.

So, why do we hear more about heart disease among men? In the past, many of the major cardiovascular research studies were conducted only on men, so doctors became familiar with the warnings signs for male patients, including chest pain that spreads to the upper arms and shoulders.

However, women more often experiSPRING 2015

ence symptoms that may not seem obviously related to heart disease, such as abdominal pain, shortness of breath, nausea and unexplained fatigue.

All too often women may avoid or delay seeking medical care as a result of these seemingly harmless symptoms, perhaps unaware that they may be indicators of heart disease.

Non-specific symptoms have many other possible causes and may not immediately point to heart problems. Even when doctors suspect that a woman’s symptoms might be due to heart disease, making a definitive diagnosis can be more challenging because traditional diagnostic tests appear to be more accurate when performed on males.

When conducted on a woman, the standard exercise stress test, for instance, does not have the same predictive value in women as it does in men, further complicating an official diagnosis of heart disease.

Understanding risks for heart disease, and taking action to lower controllable risk factors, can save lives.

All of the heart health messages during the month of February are a great reminder to women to get to know their numbers and take control of their health so they can live life to the fullest.

Heart disease trends can be reversed and well-informed women who are determined to lead a healthy life can help others improve their health as well.

• Smoking — More than 21 million women smoke; smoking can increase the likelihood of heart disease.

• High blood pressure — Over 30 percent of women have high blood pressure (hypertension) and many are unaware they have the condition; uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage arteries and vital organs, potentially leading to heart attack, stroke and more.

• High blood cholesterol — Women over age 55 tend to have higher cholesterol levels than men; high cholesterol can increase chances of heart disease.

• Overweight/obesity — Over 60 percent of women are overweight, including about 34 percent who are obese; this condition hinders heart health.

• Physical inactivity — Less than 40 percent of U.S. women get the recommended 30 minutes a day of moderately intense activity; more than 25 percent are not active at all.

Women are more likely than men to be physically inactive.

• Heredity — Women with a family history of heart disease are at a greater risk for heart disease.

• Diabetes — Approximately 12 million women in the U.S. have diabetes and as many as three million of them don’t know they have it. Diabetes increases the chances of heart disease and damage to the body.

GOLF OUTINGS

set to get underway in Hendricks County

By Steven Penn Steven.penn@flyergroup.com As warmer weather settles in, the fundraising efforts of area non-profits heats up too by the way of golf outings throughout the county.

Some of the main outings include the Wings of Golf outing, which raises money for the local United Way of Central Indiana Office, the Hendricks Regional Health Foundation Golf Outing Aug. 12, the Leadership Hendricks County Golf Outing July 9, and one of the newest, the Cats, Canines & Clubs Golf Outing, July 25, which benefits the Hendricks County Animal Shelter.

This year’s Wings of Golf, one of the biggest and most well-known outings in the county will take place most of the day, starting at 11 a.m. Aug. 12.

United Way of Central Indiana Executive Director Adriann Barger said the Breakfast of Champions event, which took place at the end of February kicks off the fundraising efforts for the Wings of Golf.

This year’s breakfast took place at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center Colts Complex and featured loqua-

cious Indianapolis punter Pat McAfee as the special guest.

“The Breakfast of Champions event … kind of starts the fundraising for all of the Wings of Golf,” Barger said. “Now we’re selling teams and really trying to get things together for that. They’re kind of a joint event. A lot of our sponsorships cover both, if you’re a master sponsor you’re a master sponsor for the breakfast and the Wings of Golf. So it’s kind of like a two-for -one.”

The golf event isn’t just for larger companies or organizations.

“It’s really open to anyone who wants to get a team together or if a company wants to sponsor — it’s really kind of open,” Barger said.

While it’s technically a golf outing, Barger said it’s really much more.

“It’s really lots of games and lots of dressing up,” she said. “There are so many prizes — it’s ridiculous. We’re always known for how many prizes we have.”

The event features both a raffle and auction.

This year’s golf outing is Colts-themed.

“This year we’re going to go with a ‘Colts Blue’ theme,” Barger said. “Whatever the breakfast theme is, it ties in

with Wings of Golf. Because we did Pat McAfee and the Colts at the Colts complex, we’re going to keep it going for the golf outing.”

The outing begins with a shotgun start at 11 a.m., but Barger said players start arriving at about 10.

“They golf all day and then we serve them lunch and dinner,” he said. “At the dinner, we do all the prizes.”

The auction and raffle items range from televisions and other electronics, to higher-price commodities like vacation packages and sideline passes to Colts games.

Barger said the best part about the golf outing is seeing all the people in the community who are giving back.

“It’s so neat to sit there before the golf outing starts and you can see so many leaders in the community, top companies that hire people in the county and they live, work, and play here,” Barger said. “That’s really the best part of that day. You look out at Deer Creek at all these different golf teams and everyone is there to support the community and represent their company or organization. It’s just really neat to see everyone work together.”

Study links

acebook use to depressive symptoms

T

h e social media site, Facebook, can be an effective tool for connecting with new and old friends. However, some users may find themselves spending quite a bit of time viewing Facebook and may inevitably begin comparing what’s happening in their lives to the activities and accomplishments of their friends.

According to University of Houston (UH) researcher Mai-Ly Steers, this kind of social comparison paired with the amount of time spent on Facebook may be linked to depressive symptoms.

Steers’ research on the topic is presented in the article, “Seeing Everyone Else’s Highlight Reels: How Facebook Usage is Linked to Depressive Symptoms” published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology.

“Although social comparison processes have been examined at length in traditional contexts, the literature is only beginning to explore social comparisons in online social networking settings,” said Steers, a doctoral candidate in social psychology at UH. Steers conducted two studies to investigate how social comparison to peers on Facebook might impact users’ psychological health.

Both studies provide evidence that Facebook users felt depressed when comparing themselves to others.

“It doesn’t mean Facebook causes depression, but that depressed feelings and lots of time on Facebook and comparing oneself to others tend to go hand in hand,” Steers said.

The first study found an association between time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms for both genders. However, the results demonstrated that making Facebook social comparisons mediated the link between time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms for men only.

Similarly, the second study found a relationship between the amount of time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms was mediated by social comparisons on Facebook. Unlike the first study, gender did not moderate these associations.

The concept of social comparison is not new. In fact, it has been studied in face-to-face contexts since the 1950s. However, engaging in social comparisons on online social media sites may make people feel even worse.

“One danger is that Facebook often gives us information about our friends that we are not normally privy to, which gives us even more opportunities to socially compare,” Steers said. “You can’t really control the impulse to compare because you never know what

SPRING 2015

30

your friends are going to post. In addition, most of our Facebook friends tend to post about the good things that occur in their lives, while leaving out the bad. If we’re comparing ourselves to our friends’ ‘highlight reels,’ this may lead us to think their lives are better than they actually are and conversely, make us feel worse about our own lives.”

Steers said that people afflicted with emotional difficulties may be particularly susceptible to depressive symptoms due to Facebook social comparison after spending more time on medium. For already distressed individuals, this distorted view of their friends’ lives may make them feel alone in their internal struggles, which may compound their feelings of loneliness and isolation.

“This research and previous research indicates the act of socially comparing oneself to others is related to long-term destructive emotions. Any benefit gained from making social comparisons is temporary and engaging in frequent social comparison of any kind may be linked to lower well-being,” Steers said.

Steers hopes the results of these studies will help people understand that technological advances often possess both intended and unintended consequences. Further, she hopes her research will help guide future interventions that target the reduction of Facebook use among those at risk for depression.
