OUR VIEWS

It is our position the Indiana General Assembly got it right in adding online retailers to the list of businesses flourishing with the support of us good Hoosiers. If Amazon is growing and doing well, kudos to them. If Amazon is growing with the support of the citizens in Indiana, and yet only contributing to the good folks living in their home state of Washington, we cry foul. Retailers (and we customers) benefit from the infrastructure supported by the sales taxes, whether they are of the brick and mortar, or the more ethereal electronic variety. Many of us have benefitted from not paying sales tax on items purchased online. And, we are not generally big fans of any tax hike, but the move to require these retailers to collect and remit tax just like their competitors only seems to level the playing field. That said, the Noblesville state senator and head of the powerful Appropriations Committee is wisely discussing an off-setting reduction in other taxes to ensure any windfall from this new tax goes to we taxpayers, and not to the bureaucrats managing the system. We say, make it so, Luke, and stop tax creep.

Fast-track grads

It is our position Purdue, and others like it, are on the right track to offer calendar alternatives to motivate hardworking students to consider graduation in less than the traditional four years, thus helping to protect them from the soaring cost of college education. Kids academically advanced and mature enough to matriculate quicker – all the while freeing up financial and classroom resources for others – are to be commended and encouraged. Sadly, many institutions are not so forward-looking (even Purdue is delaying the implementation of this program for several years), ostensibly allowing for the lifestyle adjustments of faculty, staff, students and parents presently enjoying a 30-week work year. Many have benefited from the on-campus experience and might argue four years may not be enough time to mature, grow as a thinker and assimilate all this time has to offer. Good point. Yet with the cost of an old-fashioned degree outpacing the cost of living by a startling measure, don’t we owe it to our youth to rethink the system and find ways to make it more accessible? In balance, we believe saving money and creating opportunity for more access offsets other considerations.

I thought I WAS PERFECTLY HEALTHY. When Don’s family doctor recommended he have a heart scan at The Indiana Heart Hospital, he was surprised because up to that point, he had been told he was healthy. But the heart scan showed he needed quadruple bypass surgery immediately. Don says it saved his life. And now he’s back to what he loves... going to the gym, playing golf and performing at his local theatre. The most comprehensive care and advanced surgical options on the North side. The Indiana Heart Hospital on the Community Hospital North campus specializes in the latest technology and treatment. And it’s the only nationally accredited chest pain emergency room in your area.

Football is all about family, right?

FROM THE BACKSHOP Right to Work: A step closer to reality As we closed in on press time, we were waiting to learn whether the state Senate had passed Employees’ Right to Work legislation approved earlier by the state House of Representatives. We assume passage was at hand. All that would be left would be for Gov. Mitch Daniels to sign it into law, and that would mean this: FINALLY, no more closed shops in our state, which would be the 23rd such state to enact the law. You wouldn’t be forced to join (“financially support”) a union in order to work at a particular business. We’re all for that. Nobody, and we do mean nobody, should be able to dictate our liberties, regardless of category. We’re with House Speaker Brian Bosma (R-Indianapolis), who called the House’s passage of the bill “a victory for Hoosiers.” We offer sincere kudos to Rep. Jerry Torr (R-39), who first sponsored – and loyally stuck with – the legislation in 2004. ••• We both tried to watch President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address last week, but where Sominex failed, POTUS delivered. We were induced to snooze shortly after it began, so we turned to news and analysis in the aftermath for the high points. And, alternately, we shuddered and laughed.

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg The infancy of socialism is alive and well in these United States of America (it REALLY hurts to type that), and only YOU can do something about it, such as, oh, VOTE HIM OUT of office before this place becomes France on steroids. He talked at length about fairness and leveling the playing field, so we wonder exactly how fair it was to give $535 million of taxpayer money to Solyndra, the formerly politically connected and now-bankrupt solar company. One of Solyndra’s major investors, George Kaiser, raised between $50,000 and $100,000 for Obama’s campaign in 2008. We’re awaiting Obama’s call for an explanation on that one. That oughta be good. Change. You betcha!

COMMENTARY By Lindsay Eckert In school, I only grasped the reading and writing subjects. Thankfully, I found a career that requires a pencil and paper, and not a calculator. I love letters, hate numbers – unless it’s 50 percent off at Ann Taylor. Algebra wasn’t too bad – at least I got to solve for a letter. But, equations set me into a blank stare with one exception: 2007 Super Bowl = Colts > Tom Brady. Although that game was one of the most gripping games of my time, the “game” going on in my cousin’s living room could definitely have a highlight reel of its own. Here’s the play-by-play for my family “viewing parties:” My pap is a non-violent Bobby Knight. He yells at the players, he criticizes their skills and he has most of the players fired by the second quarter. The “fans” are an interesting bunch. My mom is the sober version of the loud, chatty fan that doesn’t even realize there’s a game on. My gran appears to be the brazened fan who cheers for the opposing team while nestled among Colts fans, but really, she still hasn’t grasped the colors on the Colts players’ “outfits.” I implement game plans to keep “the team” focused during the commercials; it’s like dealing with peewee-league-attention spans. But when that miniature Darth Vader starts the Volkswagen, or you can actually hear the frogs say “Was-

sup?” as they tip back a cold one, I know I did my job. But I have been keeping my mild-to-moderate obsession for fashion and makeup tricks out of my column. Guys hold their wives’ purses and sit on mall benches enough – they don’t need to be subjected to more of that when they pick up the paper to relax. Warning: If you’re a guy, this is when you should turn the page. There’s been a lot of weekends dressed in football sweatshirts all season, so why not go glam for the big game? Coat your lashes with black mascara, lightly dust black glitter eye shadow on them (I love Urban Decay’s Oil Slick.) Use an angled eye shadow brush to sweep the shadow on the roots and tips of your lashes. No brush? Rub shadow between your thumb and pointer finger, then pinch the tips of your lashes while they’re damp. Late Super Bowl Sunday? There won’t be evidence of it Monday morning: Line the lower inner rims of your eyes with cobalt blue. Seize the day!

Fairness doctrine

COMMENTARY By Terry Anker What kids say directly to their parents is often far less interesting than what they say to friends when the children don’t know Mom and Dad are listening. It is how one finds out what is really going on inside one of these developing human brains. Their thoughts are often unguarded and raw. They are not tempered by social pressure or maturity. They are not bound by a sense of the long-term value of patience and prudence. In the cavalcade of “buddies” that come to spend time with our boys at home, I have been privy to loads of off-handed remarks, pithy comments and just plain simple, laugh-outloud remarks from the youngsters. But there are common themes – feats of physical prowess, retelling of all manner of gross indiscretion and assertions of justice and fairness. The first two are easy to discern. Either one can shoot the most three-point shots, or not. Either one ate the garden worm, or not. It all seems simple to

figure out. But today, their conversations often turn to the final of these refrains. Is it fair Helen hit four shots and Hank only managed two? Assuming the rules were evenly applied and expressed, how can young Hank feel slighted by the prowess expressed by his female rival? Did Hank work as hard? Was he debilitated by physical impairment, or simply a lack of will to apply the talents that may have been within his ability to exploit? Parents of more than one child know of accusations of imbalance ringing between siblings, “Dad, Brother’s not playing fair!” Should we hold back an older and moretalented child so a less able one can keep up? Isn’t it better to urge the younger to work to find their own calling, rather than to accommodate their envy? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

When one door opens COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I must be getting old if I can honestly say I just received the best birthday present ever … a door! Quite literally. I now have a glass and wood partition between our family room and basement. Sounds lame, but when I “opened” it, I squealed with delight and leapt into the arms of my amazing husband. So how could such an ordinary home improvement top my all-time awesome gift list? Read on, my friends. Read on. And see how context makes all the difference. I was about to turn 40, and to celebrate this monumental milestone, my parents flew my sisters and me to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for a long weekend. (I have a twin, my dad had his 70th last month and my youngest sister hits 30 in February, so it wasn’t entirely about me, but close enough.) And despite the stress of preparing for my work and home absences, I enjoyed myself immensely. True, I witnessed a soon-to-be legendary South Beach cat fight between my middle sisters, and suffered through a vacant condo’s bass-thwamping alarm clock for 40 hours before maintenance shut it down, but I was able to sleep late, finally finish “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and walk the beach without SWAT team surveillance for once. (By the way, vacations are only vacations sans little ones … when kids tag along, it’s called a trip.) Anyway, I departed refreshed, ready to face the rest of winter and my impend-

ing demise (now that I’m 40, I’m supposed to make macabre statements like that). As I navigated I-465 home from the airport, I steeled myself for what most likely awaited me − a messy house, an empty fridge and scores of voicemails about what activities my kids missed with Dad in charge. But I walked into a surprisingly clean home to find everyone’s limbs intact and bodies bathed. Following many a hug, I got “Now close your eyes, Mom!” and was led around the corner for the big door reveal. “Happy birthday!” they screamed while I nearly bowled Doo over. Now it’s not just the fact I’ve been angling for a basement barrier since we moved into this house, though certainly that plays a part in its No. 1 gift ranking. No, the main reason is the door represents the first time Doo and the kids really thought about what I wanted and actually followed through with their plan. They also understood having the house in order meant just as much as any purchase. Instead of the typical post-vacation, back-to-reality slap in the face I usually experience, I received the beautiful gift of 15-paned thoughtfulness. Best. Birthday. Present. Ever. Peace out!

Adam Dietz

WHS student has a super sneak preview to Super Bowl By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com A Westfield High School senior said an experience that happened five years ago made him the person he is today. Adam Dietz as an eighth grader was selected to be part of the Super Bowl bid program. Dietz was one of 32 kids who delivered the bid package for Indianapolis to host the 2012 Super Bowl. The students met at Lucas Oil Stadium and drew the team whose city they would travel to for delivering the bid package. Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Mark Keen said the ideal student was someone who could represent not only WHS, but the city of Westfield. He said Dietz was an obvious choice. “It isn’t just about being a good student and good athlete, although Adam was both. It’s about being a good citizen, and Adam’s involvement at school and dedication to community service proves he’s not the kind of kid who revolves his life around school or himself,” Keen said. “Adam is the student you hope your child would grow up to be. That’s how we selected him.” Keen said the opportunity to travel with Dietz and be part of the bid package process gave him a fresh outlook on the big game. “It gives you a slightly different perspective of one part of the process for the Super Bowl,” Keen said. “It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the process a city and committee goes through, and also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the students and myself.”

Adam’s aspirations: Favorite team: Pittsburgh Steelers Dedicated fan: “I watch NASCAR with my dad every Sunday.” Future plans: Attend Butler University and study motor sports engineering Dream job: Pit engineer for NASCAR races

Dietz said the opportunity changed his outlook on football and ultimately changed his life. “I would play football – kind of – every other year. I had a love-hate relationship with it.” Dietz said. “But after the bid process, I knew I wanted to stay involved in football. It solidified what playing football meant, and I played all four years of high school. I wouldn’t have the circle of friends I do now and have the opportunities to be involved in my community.” Dietz said delivering the bid to Cleveland was just the beginning of his involvement with the Super Bowl. “I’m volunteering for Super Bowl of Caring to help fans in need, and during the last five years, I’ve been helping with Baskets of Hope to give kids at Riley Hospital baskets with toys,” Dietz said. Although Dietz said the program doesn’t provide free tickets for the students, he’s looking forward to watching the big game with his family as he does every year.

Getting answers about Bariatric Surgery with St.Vincent. At the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence, we know that it’s natural to have a lot of questions about weight loss surgery before committing to a procedure. And Scott Nelson — a recent patient at our Bariatric Center of Excellence and one of the features in our newest TV spots — was no different. Scott came to us with questions like: What’s the best procedure for me? What can I expect after the surgery is over? And how will the surgery affect my diabetes?

By attending one of the 11 weekly St.Vincent Carmel bariatric informational seminars and discussing these questions with his surgeon during a pre-op class, Scott got the answers he was looking for. “The pre-op class and information session were especially valuable to me because I had so many questions and fears about the procedure,”said Scott. “I also found that the doctors and specialists at St.Vincent were very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made me feel more confident about my upcoming surgery.” Five months after surgery, Scott’s lost 100 pounds. And as he continues to lose weight, he feels increasingly optimistic about his future. “The greatest thing about my surgery is how I’m just not carrying that extra weight anymore. I don’t get winded doing simple things like walking up stairs, and more importantly, I know I’ll be around for many years to come so that I can take care of my kids.” To find out more about the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence or to find a seminar convenient for you, call us at 877-831-1582.

WHITE LOGO

WHS students take leadership to the legislative level By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Six Westfield High School students are leading by example to unite their school. WHS’s Executive Committee, a first-year committee, has already reinstated pep rallies at the school. Thirteen students were nominated by teachers last year to start a leadership committee that would represent the student body, and a have a legislative voice in the community. WHS banned pep rallies two years ago after animosity between seniors and freshmen forced administrators to eliminate the traditional school-spirit event altogether. During the committee’s first months, WHS junior Nathan Manworren said committee members discussed the goals they wanted to set and how they wanted to achieve them. “We decided we want to unify the school. We’re a premiere school with athletics and grades, and we want the school to have that same premiere atmosphere,” Manworren said. “When we talked about how we were going to create unity, the first thing that popped in our minds was a pep rally. It unites athletics, academics and all the classes.” WHS junior Jacob Tebbe said reinstating pep rallies was the group’s first goal, but it had to change students’ perspectives of each other. “We lead by example to take pride in our school, and once we were able to relay that message, it permeated throughout the school,” Tebbe said. “We had the opportunity to show what pep rallies can do for a school and restored the trust from our administrators.” Mark Ewing, WHS social studies teacher, said the students’ ambition and success in unifying classes led to an opportunity that would help the committee achieve the goal of

We were able to get 15 minutes prior to the senior meeting as a trial-run type of pep rally,” Ewing said. “The rally showed the kids that these are the kinds of things we can do if we set positive examples, if you – as upperclassmen –serve as leaders to underclassmen, these are the cool things you can accomplish.” Manworren said the trial run was the founda- dents want. “A possibility for this group could be a tion for achieving the final step of restoring the texting-while-driving ordinance, a piece of administrators’ trust in the students to reinstate legislation that is of benefit to the city,” Cook pep rallies. said. “They want to learn how local govern“We got the message across and students ment works and arrive at a relative proposal that know what’s expected of them.

They want to know how it works, and for some, it could lead to a career,” Cook said. Tebbe said the committee has already contributed to government events such as Westfield in Bloom. Now they want to see how they can make a difference in legislation. “There’s not a lot of youth voice in legislation. We want to see that whole part of how local government works; a chance to stick our nose in the door and make a difference,” Tebbe said. Ewing said the students came up with the idea to add a stoplight at US. 31 and Hoover Street, and has made it their first priority. He said their awareness for student and community safety will make them a valuable asset in the governmental process. “These kids recognize the danger.

Water system stressed, rate hike proposed By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Westfield Dept. of Public Works has presented a proposal to change the rate structure for how residents are charged for water usage. Kurt Wanninger, Westfield Public Works Dept. director, last week presented a proposed rate structure that focuses on conservation; the rate structure proves residents who use more water will be charged more. Mayor Andy Cook said water rates were last addressed three years ago, and he added that it’s wise for city council to address the needed changes to prevent spikes in water rates. “The proposed structure presented asks city council, ‘Where’s the breaking point?’ An average home uses 5,000 gallons, so do we charge X amount for 5,000 gallons, and then X plus 10 cents for every gallon above that? It’s determining where that breaking point is.” Cook said a dry summer showed how Westfield’s growth required several improvements to its water distribution system. “Our challenge isn’t a lack of water supply; it’s having adequate towers and distribution pipes to be able to pump the water in a timely man-

ner to residents. Last summer, we almost had to call for a water restriction because we didn’t have the towers and pipes to get the water here on a timely basis,” Cook said. “We can only push so much water through a straw and our straws need to be bigger.” Cook said the real message about water rates is that dollar amounts are based on needed improvement. “We know five to 10 years we need to invest $30 million to keep our system going that’s not maintenance that’s capital, that’s new tanks, additional treatment capacity and distribution pipes,” Cook said. An ordinance may be presented as early as the Feb. 13 city council meeting. If presented, a public hearing will be scheduled for later in February or early March. According to Wanninger, if the ordinance is passed, it will be at least 30 days before it becomes effective. Westfield City Council ultimately willdecide the effective date once an ordinance is passed. The mayor’s office encourages residents to email Westfield city council members with their opinions on rate adjustments and rate restructuring. Visit www.westfield.in.gov for a list of city council members’ e-mails.

I Filed for Divorce. NOW WHAT!?

the stress and anxiety a hearing can cause.

Once you have filed your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and your spouse has received notice that the divorce has been filed, it is often helpful for the parties to establish the “ground rules” which will govern certain aspects of their conduct during the pendency of the divorce. Issues that should be addressed are custody of the children, parenting time, possession of the marital residence, and payment of marital expenses. These issues are referred to as “provisional issues.”

In the event that you and your spouse cannot resolve the temporary issues, you will be required to attend the provisional hearing. This can be a particularly important part of the divorce proceeding. Parties would be well advised to use the preliminary hearing as a forum to position arguments that will be made at the final hearing. However, it is important to realize that due to the fact that the hearings are often very short, the parties are often the only witnesses and their testimony will be limited to basic matters. Therefore, discussing and preparing your requests with your attorney prior to the hearing is imperative. Following the provisional hearing, the judge will issue a provisional order that will typically remain in effect until your case is resolved. Often times, the order is provided at the conclusion of the hearing. At some point after the preliminary hearing, the parties will typically enter into negotiations on a final settlement, and if a settlement cannot be reached, prepare for the final hearing.

If you believe that such ground rules are needed, a provisional hearing (also referred to as a “preliminary hearing”) should be requested in your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once you request the provisional hearing, the court will schedule the matter to be heard and notify each party (or their attorneys) of the hearing date. Typically provisional hearings are very short and can last anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes, though there are instances where a longer hearing is needed. Due to these time constraints, it is often beneficial for the parties to reach an agreement on all provisional issues. If an agreement can be reached, the terms are reduced to writing and submitted to the court for approval. There are a number of benefits to reaching an agreement rather than going to court, including: crafting terms of an agreement to meet your families’ needs; saving the expenses associated with preparing and attending a hearing; setting and/or maintaining an amicable relationship between the divorcing parties; and reducing

Non-traditional Game Day Recipes

Beer with a Twist

Bacon-wrapped Shrimp Ingredients: 20 strips bacon (about 12 ounces), 20 medium-large shrimp, shelled and deveined (about 1 pound), 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup canola oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons chopped chipotles in adobo sauce,1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, Freshly ground

Follow the English/Irish tradition and pour yourself (and your friends) a Shandy. A light beer infused with lemon flavor is a great option to offer guests looking to indulge in a drink, but not kill it with the calories. To further cut the fat, you may want to consider supplementing the lemon-lime soda with club soda and adding fresh lemon juice to the mix. Ingredients: 3-4 oz. cold lemon soda (or lemonlime if you prefer); 3-4 oz. cold light Lager or Pilsner beer; A lemon wedge Directions: Combine the beer and soda in a Collins or highball glass and garnish with the lemon. pepper Directions: Soak 5 to 8 bamboo skewers in water for about 20 minutes to keep them from burning on the grill or under the broiler. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet until halfway done, about 4 minutes. Drain and cool on paper towels. Wrap a piece of bacon around the middle of each shrimp; skewer with bamboo through the point where the bacon ends meet to keep it from unraveling. Thread 3 to 5 shrimp on each bamboo skewer. Puree the barbecue sauce, oil, lemon juice, mustard, chipotles, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper in a blender. Set aside half of the sauce for dipping. Preheat a grill, grill pan or broiler. Grill or broil shrimp (on a foil-lined baking sheet, if broiling) for 5 minutes, basting with the sauce once they begin to turn pink. Flip, baste again and grill or broil until just cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Serve with extra sauce.

Exercise: Setting and systems matter HEALTH By Steve Roberts According to a recent article in The New York Times, “How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body,” science writer William J. Broad quotes a long-time yoga teacher who “… has come to believe that ‘the vast majority of people’ should give up yoga altogether. It’s simply too likely to cause harm.” This flies in the face of common practice. I agree yoga can wreck your body, but so can Pilates, Zumba, spinning classes, exercise-ball classes, dance classes, gym participation and other pursuits. At the beginning of each class, even the leastqualified teacher should start with the admonition, “Only do what you are comfortable doing. Never go past what you’re comfortably able to do with your abilities right now.” Everyone acknowledges the advice and proceeds onward to likely doing more than he or she should, going past what is in his or her best interest. Why? Usually, it can be narrowed to two reasons – group settings and systems. A closer look: Group settings: When participating in a group, we tend to watch others around us and slightly push past what we normally would do on our own. When the person next to you, 30 years your senior, easily goes from exercise to exercise, pose to pose, it is difficult not to compare and push your limits. We compare and we become swept up in the group participation. Systems of fitness, better known as the square peg in the round hole: Even with the constant reminder to do “only what is comfortable for you,” it may be an exercise YOU shouldn’t perform. Everyone comes with a diverse history

of trauma, orthopedic issues, decreased joint motion and flexibility restrictions. Someone 30 years your senior may be outstanding in one area where you have limitations. What most of these teachers are trying to get across is great advice. Here’s my advice: If you feel good doing it and feel good following the class, you may have found a system that works for you. If you don’t like the way a system makes you feel, move on to something else, or make up your own system.

3D mammography improves resolution at IU Health By Darla Kinney Scoles editorial@youarecurrent.com When IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers held an open house for the community, Nova and Edward Farrell toured the new facility, including the Women’s Imaging Services. Edward was so impressed with the 3D tomosynthesis mammograms offered there, that when it came time for Nova’s annual mammogram, he encouraged her to schedule it at Saxony. “Everything was new and I felt quite comfortable,” Nova said of the experience. “Even the procedure was somewhat less painful. There were no negatives at all. And it is a beautiful place.” Added Edward, “I felt this would be a better mammogram than she could get anywhere else and I want the best for my wife.” The same could perhaps be said of the technology behind the 3D breast tomosynthesis screening itself, in that questions often left by traditional mammograms are many times answered in the first round of 3D images. “Improved visualization gives the radiologist the ability to detect cancers that may not have been detected using standard 2D mammography technology,” said Dr. George Trilikis, radiologist at IU Health Saxony Hospital. “Another big improvement for the patient, and a clear advantage for tomosynthesis technology, is a decreased need for callbacks and additional images.” Trilikis is enthusiastic about the “closer to perfect” images and the fact that Saxony is the only place in central Indiana to offer the 3D technology for breast cancer screening. The 3D images allow a radiologist to see the breast in layers with nothing obscuring, allowing them to more often say definitively if an image presents cancer or not. Callbacks for further imaging are a source of anxiety for patients as they often assume they have cancer, when in fact they most likely do not. “We recently found a 7-millimeter tumor in a patient that, without this new imaging, might have been overlooked until the following year,” Trilikis said. “It certainly could not have been felt, but was also a very aggressive, invasive type of cancer. With this early detection, her survival rate is in the high 90 percentile.” During a tomosynthesis exam, multiple, lowdose images of the breast are acquired at different angles. These images are then used to produce a series of 1-millimeter thick slices that can

the imaging can provide the earliest detection, though Trilikis says he has seen it make a difference in images from all types of breasts. The facility has already seen more than 100 women since opening Dec. 1. “By offering women the latest technology in mammography, IU Health Saxony Hospital hopes to improve its ability to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage, which improves patient outcomes,” said Joy Davis, the hospital’s senior coordinator for marketing and public relations. “Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded only by lung cancer. If detected early, the five-year survival rate is 97 percent. I tell women this is the most important appointment they can make.”

Cochlear implants for seniors – Though cochlear implants can provide a solution for hearing loss that ranges from severe to profound, they haven’t often been used for elderly patients because of concern about the risks involved with surgery. But researchers recently examined the medical charts of 70 NYU patients older than age 70 who received cochlear implants under general anesthesia between 1984 and 2007, dividing the patients into different levels of risk and examining which experienced the most complications. They found most patients tolerated the procedure well and had few, if any, complications related to the operation or to general anesthesia, and pre-existing conditions were more predictive of difficulty than age alone. Researchers said this study could demonstrate most can undergo the procedure without undue risk. -www.bottomlinepublications.com Virtual games can keep you sharp – A recent study shows virtual exercise games that simulate outdoor environments can help the elderly to improve their cognitive abilities. In a study of 102 elderly adults, researchers found those who were randomly assigned to ride a cybercycle, in which a stationary bike was equipped with a virtual reality screen that allowed the riders to “bike” through different environments, as well as interact with obstacles and other bikers, remained more mentally sharp than those riding a traditional stationary bike. In fact, the cybercylers lowered their risk of declining into mild cognitive impairment, a state in which some of their mental functions decline beyond that of normal aging, but not enough to impair their daily life, by 23 percent compared to those riding the traditional bikes. -www.healthland.time.com Travel myth – It’s one of the greatest travel myths: Mention Rule 240 and you will get immediate compensation if your flight is delayed or canceled.

Eight essential documents for you and your family health information privacy laws, so doctors, hospitals and insurance companies can speak with your designee. You may also need to fill out an Authorization to Release Protected Healthcare Information form. Estate planners also recommend that you draw up a list of pensions, annuities, individual retirement accounts and 401(k)s for your spouse and children. An individual retirement account is considered dormant or unclaimed if no withdrawal has been made by age 70½. According to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, tens of millions of dollars languish in unclaimed IRAs every year. Ensure that both you and your spouse can easily locate your marriage license. One can’t claim a deceased spouse’s property without it or purchasing a new one. You also should include a copy of the “qualified domesticrelations order,” which can prove your spouse received a share of your retirement accounts. -Wall Street Journal

editorial@youarecurrent.com At least 10 states have been investigating whether some of the country’s largest insurers are failing to pay out unclaimed life policies to beneficiaries. California and Florida have held public hearings on the issue in recent weeks. Insurers say they are behaving lawfully. Under policy contracts, they aren’t required to take steps to determine if a policyholder is still alive, but instead, pay a claim when beneficiaries come forward. You can avoid such problems by securing important documents and telling your family where they are stored. Here are some of the most important documents you should have on hand: An original will is the most important document to keep on file. Not having an original document means this already-onerous process could be much more of an ordeal, since family members can challenge a copy of a will in court. A revocable living trust can be changed anytime during your lifetime. After you transfer ownership of various assets to the trust, you can serve as the trustee on behalf of beneficiaries you designate. Provided you do so, there aren’t any ongoing fees. If your fam-

ily can’t find the original trust documents, you are basically setting your estate up for litigation. A “letter of instruction” can be a useful supplement to a will, though it doesn’t hold legal weight. It is a good way to make sure your executor has the names and contact information of your attorneys, accountants and financial advisers. Make sure your heirs have access to a durable financial power-of-attorney form. Without it, no one can make financial decisions on your behalf in the event you are incapacitated. You should keep documentation of housing and land ownership, cemetery plots, vehicles, stock certificates, etc. If you don’t tell your family you own such assets, there is a chance they never will find out. Perhaps the most important healthcare document to fill out in advance is a durable health-care power-of-attorney form. The document should be compliant with federal

How much sleep do you really need?

Senior taste buds need more flavor

editorial@youarecurrent.com A new study suggests seniors don’t necessarily need as much sleep as they might think. While sleep requirements vary from person to person, most healthy adults tend to require between seven to nine hours of sleep per night to function at their best. However, a recent study by the National Institutes of Health suggests healthy older people may require about 1.5 hours less sleep than younger adults, an average of 7.5 hours per night. The study indicates seniors sleep less even when given the opportunity for more sleep because of age-related changes in the ability to fall asleep and remain asleep. The normal change causing seniors to sleep less is a result of their bodies producing lower levels of growth hormone, typically causing a decrease in slow wave or deep sleep. And less melatonin often means more fragmented sleep, and more awakenings between sleep cycles. Some seniors mistakenly believe they have a sleeping problem because they go to bed expecting to be asleep for eight or nine hours a night, and may even needlessly start using medications to help them sleep more. Frequently waking up not feeling rested or feeling tired during the day are better indications you’re not getting enough sleep at night, and may have a sleep problem that needs to be addressed. -www.helpguide.org

editorial@youarecurrent.com If you find yourself reaching for the salt and pepper more as you age, you’re not alone. A report released recently by the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) says that chefs looking to appeal to senior diners should be dialing up the taste, aroma and texture in their cooking. This is because after the age of 40 our ability to regenerate taste buds begins to suffer a significant decline. While children can renew their taste buds in a few weeks, the process takes much longer for over-thehill diners. Instead of adding more salt and sugar to meals to compensate for dulled taste buds, the CIA report recommends adopting different

cooking techniques to maximize the flavor of meals: more heat and browning for foods like coffee and chicken, strong aromas to help perk up sleepy taste buds, and using contrasting flavors to increase the overall power of a dish. – AFP Relax News

Excuses, excuses All about retirement

COMMENTARY By Marcia Wilson We’ve got a million of them! Anyone who can get through a day without an excuse or a rationalization is probably not human, certainly not normal and, in general, annoying to the rest of us. It’s easy enough to start the year with good intentions – maybe hoping to improve our diet, exercise more, lose some weight, treat others better, etc., but by now, that enthusiasm is likely giving way to excuses. Take exercise, for example. Do we ever have excuses for not exercising? Here are some of the most common: • “I don’t have time.” There are 168 hours in a week. If you exercise 3 hours a week, you still have 165 hours left for everything else. And by exercising, you reduce the risk for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, colon cancer, depression, anxiety, obesity, falls, osteoporosis and joint pain. Wow, you don’t have time to NOT exercise! • “I’m too tired.” Exercise will give you more energy than a nap (although you can do both). • “I’m too old.” You’re too old to NOT exercise (whatever your age). The older we get, the more critical it is to keep moving. • “I get plenty of exercise in my day-to-day routine.” Maybe, but don’t mistake being busy for getting exercise.

• “I have _______ (fill in the blank).” Arthritis? Back pain? High blood pressure? The list goes on. Look it up. Exercise is recommended for almost every disease or condition. The body heals better (and feels better) if you are using it. • “It won’t make a difference.” At any age, exercise will strengthen your bones, help your circulation, digestion, breathing, flexibility, stability and overall sense of well-being. Hmm, chances are it will make a difference. • “I might embarrass myself.” More than having to wear a hospital gown that doesn’t close in the back? • “I don’t know where to start.” Fair enough, so find something you enjoy. Walk, take a class, do chair exercises, dance in your living room, hula-hoop – it doesn’t matter as long as you’re doing something. At the end of the day though, it’s really not about excuses. It’s about priorities. And all those priorities – the things in life you want to do, and the things you have to do – depend on keeping your mind and body strong. Feeling stronger and better beats a good excuse any day! Marcia Wilson holds an M.A. in gerontology and teache Body Recall courses for aging adults. Wilson can be reached at wanderw@iquest.net.

COMMENTARY By John Williams Social Security is as American as baseball and apple pie. Not everyone likes baseball games or apples, but almost every American who reaches retirement age will receive Social Security retirement benefits. In fact, 96 percent of Americans are covered by Social Security. When you work and pay Social Security taxes, you earn “credits” toward Social Security benefits. You need 40 credits (10 years of work) to qualify for retirement benefits. The amount of your benefit, however, is determined by how long you work and how much you earn. Higher lifetime earnings result in higher benefits. If you did not work or had low earnings in some years, your benefit amount may be lower than if you had worked or earned more. Also, your age when you retire makes a difference in your benefit amount. Full retirement age (the age at which full retirement benefits are payable) has been gradually increasing from age 65 to age 67. Full retirement age is 66 for people born in 1943 to 1954. You can retire as early as age 62, but if benefits start before you reach your full retirement age, your monthly payment is reduced. Find out what your full retirement age is by referring to the convenient chart in the “Retirement Benefits” publication at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10035.html.

Just as you can choose an early retirement and get a reduced payment, you also can choose to delay retirement beyond your full retirement age to take advantage of a larger payment. Your benefit will increase automatically by a certain percentage from the time you reach your full retirement age until you start receiving your benefits, or until you reach age 70. The decision of when to retire is an individual one and depends on a number of personal factors. To help you weigh the factors, we suggest you read the online fact sheet, “When to Start Receiving Retirement Benefits,” available at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10147.html. You may want to consider your options by using our retirement estimator to get instant, personalized estimates of future benefits. You can plug in different retirement ages and scenarios to help you make a more-informed retirement decision. Try it out at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. When you decide to retire, go to www. socialsecurity.gov, where you can apply for retirement benefits in as little as 15 minutes. In most cases, there are no forms to sign or documents to send; once you submit your electronic application, that’s it. John Williams is a public affairs specialist for the Social Security Administration. To contact John, e-mail him at john.w.williams@ssa.gov.

Search on for state’s outstanding senior volunteers editorial@youarecurrent.com Home Instead Senior Care has announced the Salute to Senior Service program to honor senior volunteers for the tireless contributions they make to their local communities. The program will include a search for the most outstanding senior volunteer in each state and culminate with the selection of a national “Salute to Senior Service” winner during Older Americans Month in May. Nominees must be 65 years of age or older and volunteer at least 15 hours a month. Nominations will be accepted at www.salutetoseniorservice.com through March 15. Nomination forms also can be requested at ckoehler@ homeinsteadinc.com. State Senior Hero winners will receive plaques, and their stories will be posted on the program’s Web site. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the national winner’s non-profit charity of choice. Some 52 percent of seniors volunteer their time through unpaid community service, according to a survey done by Home Instead Senior Care. Nearly 20 percent of seniors surveyed started volunteering when they reached the traditional age of retirement – 65 or older. Fur-

thermore, 20 percent of seniors who volunteer say their community service is the most important thing they do. “Helping others defines life for many local retired seniors,” said Jeff Sewell, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving northern Indianapolis, Fishers and Carmel. “And what a difference we have observed in seniors’ health, attitude and outlook among those who choose to stay active as they age.” Dr. Erwin Tan, director of the Senior Corps, a national organization that links more than 400,000 Americans 55 and older to service opportunities, agrees. “The one thing I hear constantly from the seniors in our programs is volunteering gives them a purpose in life – they say it’s the reason they get up in the morning,” Tan said. “In addition, it’s a great way for them to learn new things – whether a skill or just something about an issue in which they have an interest. Volunteering is just a great way to expand their horizons and feel like they’re still a valuable part of their community.” For more information about the Salute to Senior Service program or Home Instead Senior Care, please call 252-4472 or visit www.salutetoseniorservice.com.

Limit on stolen goods INSURANCE Q&A By Andy Warren Question from Stanley G. of Fishers: My sister had her jewelry box stolen and didn’t find out until she filed a claim there was a set limit on how much she could claim in stolen jewelry. This limit is not adequate to replace what she lost. Is this common? Response from Andy Warren: I hate to hear about your sister’s claim. Unfortunately, that situation is VERY common. A standard homeowners insurance policy automatically restricts coverage on a variety of different types of property. The other problem that occurs is your personal property limit being used up by items not originally calculated for your policy to include in the first place. You can avoid these problems by meeting face to face with your independent insurance agent to create a scheduled personal-property endorsement and adding it to your home policy. The schedule can include anything you want to include, but some of the items below are typical. You have automatic coverage for newly-acquired property, but be sure to update your schedule to include any new property within 30 days. Some of the common property classes excluded or limited by your policy: • Jewelry, watches, furs and precious or semiprecious stones. The typical limit is $1500. Schedule these items • Musical instruments, cameras, silverware, golf equipment and fine art. These items are not usually limited, but can eat up your personal property limit very quickly. Schedule these items. • Cash, bank notes, coins and precious metals that are not jewelry. The policy limit on these items is typically around $200. Keep this stuff in the bank or a safe deposit box. • Securities, evidences of debt, letters of credit,

www.youarecurrent.com

manuscripts, personal records, passports, tickets and stamps (including computer software). The limit for this property class is typically about $1500. The limit includes the cost to research, replace or restore information from the lost or damaged materials. • Watercraft of any kind, including trailers, equipment and motors. You should have a separate policy for a boat, but your home policy typically sets aside $1500 if you don’t. • Property of roomers, boarders and other tenants. This type of property is excluded. They need a renters insurance policy. This list is not comprehensive, so please make sure you meet with your independent agent to discuss any additional concerns you may have.

Women notice everything. Your style is included. Get noticed by paying attention to the details that complete your look. This can include a sharp looking watch (plastic is never the way to go), a unique set of cufflinks, or a colorful pair of socks, any of which can add just the right touch.

Enjoy!

Look Sharp on a Budget As a general rule, most people out there cannot tell how expensive your clothes are if they fit you. Even if you have a small budget for a suit, spend the extra dough to have it tailored to your body. A long crotch and wide arm holes are a tell-tale sign of the price you paid. Accessorize with a nice watch and a sharp pair of cufflinks to finish off the look. Remember, if you don’t feel comfortable and confident in your clothes…others will notice!

Bigger is Better Try these simple steps to help achieve the voluminous, bombshell hair that can now be found on magazine covers and all along the red carpet: • To begin, towel dry your hair and mist a leave-in conditioner (such as Biominoil Leave In Treatment) and a volumizer (try Brocato’s Volumizing Tonic). Then begin blow drying your roots while pulling them away from your scalp. • When your hair is completely dry, wrap 1-inch sections in Velcro rollers. Once your hair is set, blow dry with a diffuser for another 10 minutes on the hot setting, then 10 minutes on the cool setting. Alternatively, you could use large hot rollers or a curling iron once your hair is completely dry. • After removing the rollers, combine a drop of shine serum (like Brocato’s Shine Drops) and a light hold gel (Salon 01 brand Flex Hold Gel) in the palms of your hands. Run your hands throughout your hair and move your voluminous locks into place. • For added boost, gently tease your roots around the crown of your head. Finish off the process with a blast of moveable hold hairspray to keep your ‘do in place. Looking for more hairstyling tips? Check out our blog at www.salon01.com/blog/.

Reduce, repurpose, redesign INSIDE & OUT By David Decker A new year is here. New hopes, new resolutions and new projects abound. Many of us take a look around and decide the house could use a few resolutions of its own. So where to start? Below is a handy little guide to jumpstart the motivation, get creative and above all, keep it affordable. Top Three Home Resolutions • Reduce – Parting with “stuff” and deciding what to let go of is tough. Here’s a guideline to stick with: If you have not really used an item in the last two years, aside from special occasions or wanting to save it for the kids or grandkids, then let it go to charity. You will be amazed at the sense of organization you feel when your home is de-cluttered and your basement floor is visible. • Repurpose – Have an extra decorative plate? Place your kitchen soaps and sponges on it in a cluster by your sink. Pull out different size vases and throw cotton balls in one, cotton swabs in the other and unwrap the guest bath soaps to fill a third. Roll up old magazines you were about to toss and tie them with twine to fill a woven basket in the powder bath. You will be amazed at what you can put to use in other areas of your home that never crossed your mind once the space is opened up.

NOW OPEN! • Redesign – It happens to most. We tend to get a little stir crazy and the urge to change things comes about. Maybe it is new cabinets. Perhaps you admire the backsplash you saw at a home show. The tile in your bathroom is taunting you every morning. Whatever it may be, it may be time to get a wish list together and look at a reasonable budget for the items in order of importance to you. It does not all have to get done right away, and often times, it is best to create a “look book” of sorts from pictures in catalogs and online that appeal to you. You may be surprised at how your taste evolves before a big project gets underway. Lastly, consult a professional when taking on a project of any kind. It will end up saving you time and money (and your sanity)! David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring.

Buzz over the Bowl LAUGHS By Mike Redmond The city where I hang my shingle, or would if I did something shingle-worthy, is all abuzz with excitement over the Super Duper Bowl, which is coming to town one of these days soon. I forget which. Anyway, I do not share in this abuzzment. Oh, I think the Super Duper Bowl is all right. The football games usually aren’t that good, and the halftime shows stink, but the commercials are entertaining. If they insist on having one, they might as well have it here so central Indiana businesses can make a pile of money. But that’s about the limit of my enthusiasm. I believe Super Duper Bowls are like tornados: best viewed from a distance. For one thing, it isn’t really our event. We’re just providing the location. Other than that, this is an NFL production all the way. It’s kind of like someone coming to your house and saying, “I’m going to throw a party here and you’re not invited, but could you be a dear and help park the cars and then clean up afterward?” I don’t swell with satisfaction over how well we can serve as a stage for someone else’s event. What strikes me funny is how the people who seem to be in charge of these things have

such inferiority complexes about central Indiana. Oh, they talk a good game about how great things are around here, and they’re right. This IS a pretty great place. It’s not perfect, but what place is? They do all this bragging, but then they turn around and tell us that whatever they’re concocting will be the thing that makes this a world-class city. Thing is, we always seem to be just one step from world-class citydom: If we build a new stadium, we’ll be a worldclass city. A new basketball arena is just what we need to be a world-class city. We’ll be a world-class city if we just get a downtown mall. Seems like we would have gotten there by now, doesn’t it? So, let me recap: Super Duper Bowl is good, as far as it goes, and I admit that can be pretty far. I believe the formula is every tourist dollar spent turns over seven times before it leaves town. Hey, if there are enough dollars, one or two might even turn up in my pocket. It wouldn’t be a world-class event, but it sure would generate some excitement.
