It is our position while the Indiana Depart-ment of Education no longer requires cursive handwriting to be included in elementary school curriculum, good pen-manship and knowledge of cursive is still a valued lesson.

Indiana is among 46 states following the recommendations of a national Com-mon Core Curriculum that is placing emphasis on teaching proficient keyboarding in the classroom over perfecting handwriting. While typing is an important life skill in the information age, it should not be the sole method of communicating. The most obvious question is, how will future generations sign their names? Didn’t an “X” carved in stone die with the cavemen? What a shame a handwritten note from a grandparent, a person from another country or even our nation’s own Declara-tion of Independence won’t be able to be read by future generations.

Handwriting is much more than a communications tool. It is part of one’s personality and artistic expression - a personal signature, if you will. Ironically, even though we are living in an era of technological advance-ment that enables more personalization than ever before, a dichotomy of desensitization is also being created by muffling the human voice, and now, eliminating handwritten expression.

Don’t write off cursive Raise my taxesIt is our position to find additional sources of

revenue necessary to eliminate the national debt. Some of that additional revenue should come from the elimination of cor-porate giveaways and some of that additional revenue should come from the most fortunate among us, including some of us here in Hamilton County.

The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform says the national debt crisis is the most predictable crisis we have ever faced. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, testified in front of Congress that the national debt is the greatest threat to national security our country currently faces. We must immediately put our country on a path towards the elimination of the national debt and increasing revenue is a necessary piece of that path.

If the reduced spending currently being discussed eliminates $2 trillion of our national debt over the next ten years, where will the remaining $12 trillion come from? Certainly, all fonts should be considered, but reason-able policy must include the highest earners in addition to the much broader base of Americans. Entitlement reform and restricted revenue must walk together. With significant reductions in debt interest expense, permanent tax elimination and reform becomes more likely.

Sit down. We’re about to commend gov-ernment. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you) The nightmare that is the junction of I-69 and Ind. 37 in Fishers is the focal point for improve-ment by Indiana Dept. of Transportation of-ficials. We applaud INDOT for setting out to throttle that horrific bottleneck. INDOT’s idea is to add lanes and relocate the entrance for southbound I-69 traffic farther north. INDOT also wants to put overpasses in to connect the interstate to 37. Really, it’s a brilliant move at (almost) any price – which could approach $40 million, from what we understand. It should prove well worth it, and if it happens it won’t seem as though you’re watching a descending fuel-gauge needle as you’re waiting to get onto 37. With the growth of Fishers and surround-ing Hamilton County communities has come more traffic. Growth is good. We like growth. We also like infrastructure that can handle growth, and the current setup simply is not getting it done. Let’s hope the funding is there, the project is planned with fiscal responsibil-ity and it gets done at a break-neck pace. This needs to happen.

• • •As we reported earlier – and in case you

didn’t notice - the 126th Street bridge spanning I-69 officially is closed for 120 days, INDOT is putting in a wider span and a 12-foot path and 6-foot sidewalk. Another round of applause, please.

• • •As difficult as it is to believe, the summer

concert series is drawing to a close tonight. Fishers Parks & Recreation is playing host to the swan song of the season at 7 p.m. Peace Train will serenade the crowd on the lawn at Town Hall. Organizers are encouraging attend-ees to bring lawn chairs, blankets and picnics to the free show. Parks & Rec is to be com-mended for, once again, staging a stellar series.

Help on way for 69/37 bottleneck … we hopeCOMMEntaRYBy Jordan Fischer

There’s a rumor mill turning this week, and we’re hearing some buzz about a possible move into a new office; possibly a sooner rather than later move.

I’m not sure how much grist there is to it – which is the best I’ve got in the way of mill-based metaphors to express my skepticism – but, you know… perchance to dream. It would be nice to have some additional space around the office for my bric-a-brac.

On an unrelated note, if you’re the kind of anal retentive grammar-freak I am, and you’re rushing to your dictionary to check the plural spelling of “bric-a-brac,” I already did: no “s.” I was as shocked as you are.

• • •Speaking of shock, mine is paired with requi-

site dismay this week as we watch the end of the U.S. Space Shuttle Program. There might even have been tears or my salt intake not regularly high enough to dry up a small lake, or perhaps a medium-sized creek – or “crick” where I grew up.

(Scientific fact: This is probably not how salt actually works. I’m not sure though, since I

spent most of college reading poems and grow-ing my hair out.)

Space Camp was always a secret ambition of mine as a kid, though, having seen my fair share of the Wonder Years, I had deeply rooted fears it would diminish my social status too far for Winnie Cooper to go to the dance with me.

Naturally, the obvious choice was to instead spend a summer at LEGO Robotics camp… but that’s a tale of social oblivion for another day.

At any rate, I rant as a structural demonstra-tion of the complex and myriad emotions I have tied to the idea that “Where no man has gone before” may become “Where no man will go again.” Also, Ed Harris will never again be cast as a brilliant-but-curmudgeonly astronaut who manages to save the day despite being DL’d from the mission. And if that one-column-a-year baseball reference doesn’t convince you how upset I am… well, I weep for you, gentle reader.

As goes the space shuttle, so too my inner child

Guess who got to take a cardiac stress test? Yours truly, that’s who. Some background first:

I’ve been having these weird heart palpita-tions for about a year now. When I first noticed them, I was living with my in-laws, interviewing for jobs and trying to buy a house. Naturally, I assumed they were stress-related.

By the fall, life had started to settle, but I continued to experience, what felt like, missed heartbeats periodically. My next thought was my thyroid, so I scheduled an appointment with my endocrinologist. Everything was fine on that end, but she did suggest I cut back on caffeine. I took her advice, but no dice.

Teaching, lounging, driving, it didn’t seem to matter; I would occasionally experience a noticeable pause in my heartbeat. So I finally decided to call in the big dogs. “There are about 50 things that could be causing these palpa-tions,” the cardiologist said, “and about 10 of them could kill you. Let’s rule those out first.” Yes. Let’s. Back to live action:

I show up for my stress test in “comfortable clothing,” confident I will make someone’s day with an outstanding performance. But I have to climb three sets of stairs due to malfunctioning elevators, and I am already breathing hard when I check in. No worries. Just treat it like a warm-up, I think.

I receive a hospital wrist band then ushered to

a room when I’m joined by two women, one an RN who will monitor my BP and EKG, and the other a technician who will run the ultrasound equipment. She proceeds to attach a dozen wires to my naked chest with an adhesive that stings so badly I initially think I am being electrocuted.

After some baseline readings, I hop on the tread-mill and begin. My nurse tells me she will slowly, but consistently increase both the speed and in-cline until I reach my target heart rate of 180. If I get too tired (or collapse) before that, I am to stop immediately. Naively, I estimate 30 to 40 minutes before I get there. Ha. 12 minutes later, clutching the handrail for dear life, I surrender with a max heart rate of only 165. I quickly lie down and at-tempt to hold my breath so the tech can perform a post-test ultrasound. As I fight hyperventilation, I cannot believe I only made it twelve stinkin’ min-utes! Is there something wrong? Or is it just I’m a bit plusher than I thought? I drive home ponder-ing worst-case scenarios.

But nay, this is not my time. The stress test came back negative, and my EKG’s were nor-mal. Apparently, it’s just my ego that’s a little on the unhealthy side. Peace out.

Stress tests and reality checks

The “Healing Ceiling” at Riverview Hospital doesn’t use its supernatural powers to aid the sick and the wounded magically back to health; however, it does offer patients something inspiring to look at, a little motivation to keep fighting their personal battles in hopes of reaching their goal: health.

Five years ago, the Riverview Hospital Foundation found its inspiration to create the “Healing Ceiling” from cancer survivor and artist Linda Wheat. While undergoing cancer treatments, Wheat noticed she was encouraged to hope for a better, healthier future by visualizing nature. The drab white ceiling tiles always above her in her hospital room; however, seemed dreary and depressing. Her solution: Add a little creativity.

Wheat thought a transformation from boring white tiles to a beautiful and inspiring portrait of the sky would provide just what the doctor ordered. She hoped it would ultimately instill optimism in other patients as well.

“I believe healing can manifest itself in many different ways and healing through art can be very beneficial,” Riverview’s Major Gifts Officer Susan Beckwith said.

Wheat’s idea has caught on. The RHF, as well as its Youth Board (composed of members from the Purdue Extension’s “A Chance to Serve” program) searches annu-ally for local high school students willing to turn in both an application and an original piece of art for the project.

Students whose art is sent to the next round by judges also are given the chance to showcase their artwork per-manently in the hospital. This year’s finalists, selected

by the Youth Board, were Jessie Pouch of Noblesville, Meme Sharp of Noblesville, and Sophia Triantafyllopou-los of Carmel.

Only a single winner is chosen to have his/her art displayed as part of the “Healing Ceiling.” The selected winner also is awarded a monetary prize. Sharp was ultimately chosen as the 2011 victor by majority vote after the art was displayed for a day and ballots were cast by employees, physicians, volunteers and board members at the hospital.

Currently, a total of 19 decorated ceiling tiles are spread throughout the hospital.

“The students do an amazing job for us and it makes it nice for the patients here too,” Philanthropy Officer Amanda Trestrail said.

Riverview’s ‘Healing Ceiling’ gives hope

Flavor of Fishers spices up summer

COMMEntaRYBy Susan Bryant

The other day I was talking to a mother whose daughter was concerned about not hav-ing any friends in her classes next school year. Schedules had come out and it looked as though she might be facing a sea of brand new faces – again. Her mother and I casually assured her “she would make lots of friends when school started.” We all hoped it would be true, but I left thinking, “boy am I glad I don’t have to go through that anymore.”

It got me thinking about all the things we tell our kids and ask of them. Although they seem easy, they can provide challenges for children. As adults, we’ve found a way around many of these issues for ourselves.

“Don’t worry – you’ll make new friends.”A new school year means entering an unfa-

miliar environment. Walking up to an estab-lished group of people and extending yourself is hard at any age – and kids can be a tougher crowd. As an adult, when is the last time you really had to open yourself up to possible rejec-tion like this? Or put the effort into making a new friend?

“Wait.”“Now” is so much better than “later.” Pa-

tience is hard and we expect kids to wait - a lot. It’s a critical skill to learn, but it’s not fun and adults aren’t always the best role models. We’re impatient when the checkout person is too slow or the traffic light won’t change quickly. Some-times we just choose not to wait – which is our luxury as a grown up.

“Just get along.”There will always be people we don’t enjoy

sharing time with. However, adults can have some control over who they associate with. We can even avoid our par-ents or siblings if they annoy us. Kids don’t have this option. If they have mean kids in their class,

they have to deal with them all year. We expect them to make the best of relationships with peo-ple they have little or no say in choosing - which most of us adults would not tolerate.

All of these things we say to children are necessary lessons to learn. However, we must remember the difficulty in the tasks we’re asking our children to do. Childhood is often roman-ticized as a carefree time in one’s life, but it is really full of challenges. I, for one, enjoy the privileges of being a grown up.

From India to Indiana

Born and raised in India, Shakila Garugu came to the United States with her family in 2004. Her hus-band Sukumer’s software engineer-ing job led them to several states before their recent move to Fishers. Now their two daughters, Shruthi and Neha go to school in Fishers and Shakila is adjusting to life in the midwest.

From mathematics to mastersA self-taught artist, Shakila learned how to paint by studying

and copying Old Master paintings. “I studied mathematics in my post-graduation in Mathematics in India,” said Garugu. “After my marriage I started doing replicas of Old Master paintings. Now I am doing my own style of oil paintings and water colors.”

After painting for 15 years, Shakila enjoys learning different styles but classifies her work as realistic. She has sold her paint-ings in India, Arizona, California and Connecticut. She said she is looking forward to showing her work in Indiana. She takes special orders for portraits in oil.

From teacher to studentShakila used to teach basic drawing classes and oil painting to

children and adults in her home. Now she enjoys going to the Indianapolis Art Center where she takes art classes in their stu-dios with live models. In addition to art, Shakila has a passion for dance and enjoys shopping in her spare time.

“Whenever I have free time I will do art,” said Garugu. “This makes my life colorful!”

Each month, Fishers Arts Council recognizes a local artist or business. Local actors, dancers, musicians, painters, writers and ceramic/glass/metal/textile artists are encouraged to apply for Artist of the Month. The online application form can be found at www.fishersartscouncil.org.

» July gardening tips – 1. You can sow a fall crop of bush beans now. Plant seeds two inches deep to protect them from the hot sun. You can sow other vegetable seeds for an autumn yield, too, by planting them just a little deeper than you did in the spring. The best time to plant is after a rain shower. 2. Once melon vines have set three or four fruits, remove any new blossoms. The re-maining fruits will benefit from this, and you will still have plenty.

By Jordan FischerCurrent in Fishers

Joe Weingarten’s office is a monument to his love of flight.The shelves are filled with model airplanes, from Wright Broth-

ers era cloth-winged gliders through more modern biplanes, and beyond. Opposite is a wall of frames: a photo of a Wright Broth-ers plane encased with a section of the wing fabric, an award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, patents for airplane structural criteria and payload restraints.

Talking to Weingarten, who spent 26 years of his life as an aerospace engineer for the U.S. Air Force, it’s hard to miss his

pride of having been a part of the U.S. Space Shuttle Program,

and his sadness at seeing its final days.

The final flight of the space shuttle program officially ended Thurs-day morning at 5:57

a.m. ET, as the shuttle Atlantis landed at the

Kennedy Space Center in Florida.Though they’ve never met, in his return speech, Mission Com-

mander Chris Ferguson spoke to Weingarten and others who worked on the shuttle in the 43 years since the shuttle Enterprise took its first flight.

“Although we got to take the ride,” Ferguson told press and on-lookers Thursday morning, “we sure hope that everybody who has ever worked or touched or looked at or envied or admired a space shuttle was able to take just a little part of the journey with us.”

His little partWeingarten’s route to the shuttle program started in an un-

likely place: investigating air plane crashes in the 1970s. “It cost too much money to crash an airplane,” Weingarten

said. “So I decided to look at 865 large aircraft crashes over a ten year period.”

Specifically, Weingarten looked at the gravitational force, or g-force, of planes as they crashed, in order to determine the ap-propriate strength of restraints for payloads: people, in the case of passenger planes, and everything from tanks to munitions for military planes.

“I proved that between 3 & 9 Gs, airplanes never crash,” Weingarten said. “Previously, the standard had been to reinforce everything for 9 Gs.

They were able to lower the g-load of everything.”

This resulted in significant savings for military contractors, who were able

to manufacture equipment that was lighter and less expensive to produce.

“We published a report in May with our findings,” Weingarten said. “We were at the Pentagon and a general asked, ‘What do the Russians use?’ This was at the height of the cold war, so when I said I didn’t know, he said I

better find out.”“We went back and called the spies, and they told us the

Russians had just changed their numbers to match our report,” Weingarten said.

As a matter of fact, beginning in 1974, 2nd Lt. Joseph Wein-garten’s structural restraint criteria were adopted worldwide, and remain the standard to this day.

“Every time you sit down on an airplane to put on your seat belt – that’s me,” Weingarten said. “Those criteria set how strong-ly you’re attached to the airplane.”

Drawings on a pad“When I first saw the space shuttle, is was just concept draw-

ings,” Weingarten said. “NASA asked the Air Force if I could look at the shuttle, so for a couple of weeks, I looked at the draw-ings, how it would liftoff, how it would land… which was rather unusual because it came in like a glider, with no power.”

Through Weingarten’s work, shuttle engineers were advised they could safely cut the shuttle crash loads in half.

“The satellite manufacturers were literally hugging me,” Wein-garten said.

Once the shuttle began operations, Weingarten said he and other Air Force officers would watch the liftoffs from a TV on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

“Gen. Robert Rushworth was the vice commander of the base, and he had flown the X15 Rocket into space,” Weingarten said. “He would come over to listen to the gibberish the commentator was saying during the launches. Usually he would tell us to turn it off, and he would be our commentator.”

Weingarten was then named the Chief Engineer of the Air

Force Test Loading Agency where, he said, he was tasked with certifying for flight any cargo bigger than 8’ x 8’ x 20’. His more interesting cargo assignments include a 70 ft. long Minuteman nuclear missile, and, one time, a live whale with accompanying tank of salt water.

Weingarten still owns the patent to a special rope invented as a tether for the Minuteman missile during a top-secret air launch pri-or to the SALT Talks between the U.S. and Soviet Union in 1969.

“The Russians were told that unless they agreed to a reduction in arms, the Air Force would be getting 300 C-5s (military trans-port aircrafts) with 100 Minutemen missiles each, and 100 would be in the air at any one time, so that they would have no first strike capability against nuclear silos,” Weingarten said. “It was a bluff on the part of the president, and it worked. And my job on that was the rope.”

Looking toward the futureWeingarten said that while in some degree he understands

the financial reasoning behind scuttling the shuttle program, he thinks it is a mistake.

“People don’t realize how much has come from our develop-ments in the shuttle program,” Weingarten said. “I’m afraid that we aren’t looking to the future, and we don’t understand how to get there.

More distressing than U.S. astronauts having to “hitch rides” on foreign space shuttles, Weingarten said, is the progress we’ll lose as governments wait for private investors to take over space programs.

“We’re a nation that has always challenged the next frontier,” Weingarten said. “And now, all of a sudden, our nation isn’t look-ing to the next frontier anymore.”

Joe Weingarten reflects on his personal connection to the space shuttle

program, and sadness to see it end

Weingarten received the Lawerence-Sperry Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics


Santa Maria Grilled Tri-tipIngredients• 4 (1 inch thick) boneless pork chops• Kosher salt and ground black pepper to

taste• 4 slices capocollo ham• 4 slices fresh Indiana tomato• 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese• 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil•Chopped fresh oregano to taste• Paprika to taste

Directions1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium direct

heat, and lightly oil the grate. 2. Rub olive oil on chops and sprinkle with

salt and black pepper, and grill until the chops are browned, and show good grill marks. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 140 to 145 degrees F.

3. Place capocollo ham, tomato, and fresh mozzarella cheese slices on each pork chop, and sprinkle with oregano and paprika; cook until the cheese has melted, about 2 more minutes. Let stand for 5 min-utes before serving. Remember, dry pork

chops come from overcooking and pork chops finished correctly are more juicy and tender. Throw out the “no pink pork” rule and substitute it with a “slightly pink is OK” attitude!

» Startups hurting the economy? – A new report from the Kauffman Foundation says that startups are opening their doors with fewer employees and, once they get going, are hiring fewer people, regardless of the economic climate. Kauffman says this prob-lem actually began before the recession and continues to be one of the factors dragging down the economy.

Throughout the spring, health-care, consumer staples, telecommunications and utilities stocks were among the best perform-ers. “These stocks are better positioned for this sort of slow-growth environment, and we would expect that to continue,” Toohey said. He added that many companies in these sectors are still attractively valued and have room to expand their profit margins by being more productive.

COMMEntaRYBy David Cain

When I was 16, I drove a truck into our house. My dad was eating a bowl of chili at the kitchen table and I put the grill of a truck through the wall within a few feet of his bowl. I remember the look he offered as I peeked through the broken wall; it was the look of defiance. Unwavering in the face of childhood mischief, he glared at the problem with no fear.

It was a stick shift truck – four on the floor as they called them. I was in the garage jumpstart-ing the truck, a trait that has mostly become a lost art. It was connected to a battery charger and I was rapidly trying to make the truck start; so, I could be off to something important – as only could be defined by a teenager. I reached in the cab of the truck and turned the key. I never imagined a stick shift in first gear could lunge forward when it turned over; however, in hindsight it seems obvious. The truck jumped forward with a reckless force that could make a kid yell, “Hell yeah!” if his father wasn’t on the other side of the wall.

This wasn’t my first experience crashing a car

in front of my dad. Before I had my license, he’d go for a walk and let me drive back and forth in the driveway. One snow covered winter, I drove his car too far up a trail, just as I felt it sliding, it tilted over a hill and wedged against a tree. I climbed through the window to escape the ter-ror and a chance of it toppling with me behind the wheel. The one fear I did not have was my dad’s reaction. I knew he’d understand. After all, he’d given me the keys.

Was there anything to learn about these car wrecks? Although these two events happened nearly 30 years ago, they still cross my mind more than I’d think. I recall the understanding of making those mistakes. I remember the latitude my dad gave me to explore and I respond to that kind of trust. I pass it along, I trust people, I let them explore and I try not to judge when they make a mistake. After all, it’s only a car.

COMMEntaRY By Sue Faulstich

Each April and October, thousands of new home furnishing products are introduced to regular attendees at the furniture market in High Point, North Carolina. As our design business continues to receive custom furniture ordered for clients, it made me think this would be a great opportunity to give my readers some insight into the happenings of a furniture market.

The largest and most well known furniture mar-ket to date, the High Point Market, is a collection of over 180 buildings, which make up over 10 mil-lion square feet of show space. Interior designers and retail buyers from all over the world are able to get the first look at new home furnishing products from more than 2000 exhibitors.

For the interior designer, this is an opportu-nity to touch and try out many pieces of furni-ture we will later see pictured in manufacturer’s catalog updates. Most furniture manufacturers will have new introductions available in their showrooms during market for designers to sit in and get a feel for scale and comfort.

This is to my advantage when I present a project to a client through a series of photo-graphs. No matter how well a piece of furniture is photographed, it will still be up to me to assure a client this is the proper piece for their project. I will be able to describe a detail such as a piece of antique mirror in the door of an armoire as more smoky silver than hazy grey. Designers must have

the ability to convey to a client what exactly they are purchasing in a piece of furniture.

Even the details which are more technical are addressed and studied during market week. Cus-tom upholstery manufacturers want buyers to be attracted to the look of their brand, and have a clear understanding of their product’s quality.

It will have several cushion options available to demonstrate the difference between such components as spring down and blend down cushion construction. Custom case goods man-ufacturers will have several pieces of furniture on display which showcase the new paint and stain finishes available for the new introduc-tions. You would be surprised by how many shades of espresso actually exist. Having the op-portunity to see these details in person will help me help a client visualize a completed project.

Since the early 1900’s the High Point Market has been a steadily growing, biannual gather-ing of design industry professionals. Like many conventions, stories are swapped, sales are made and an occasional cocktail is enjoyed. This for-mula, which has endured through two World Wars and a Great Depression, is what keeps the people coming back season after season.

Home styles for the seasons

Keeping poison out of reach.Because young children often explore the world by putting objects in their mouths, accidental poisoning is a serious concern. the american academy of Pediatrics recommends the following for keeping curious children safe:

• Put locks on cabinets that contain medicines, cleaners, gardening chemicals and any other potential poisons.

• Keep hazardous materials only in cabinets that are out of reach of young children.

• Because kids imitate what you do, take your medications only when out of sight of your kids.

• When it’s time to dispose of medications, flush them down the toilet or pour them down the drain if the label recommends. if not, mix medications with something unappetizing, like coffee grounds, and throw them in the trash.

St.Vincent Pediatric Therapies

no parent wants to think that his child is falling short of developmental milestones. the reality is that some kids do, and for a variety of reasons that are better addressed as soon as possible.

maybe your 3-year-old still has a hard time holding a spoon or putting on shoes. maybe she puts both feet on a step before climbing the next one. or your 5-year-old can’t pedal a bike.

speech and hearing is another area that often requires attention. if your child has a history of ear infections, for example, or seems to constantly ask you to repeat yourself, getting a hearing test is a good idea.

the staff at st.Vincent Pediatric therapies can help uncover and treat issues with motor skills or speech and hearing.

Call 317-415-9135 to schedule an appointment with Pediatric Therapies, located in Suite 309 at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast.

A Better Way to WorkMaybe you’re so used to leaving the office with your neck cramping, your lower back wrenched, or your wrists throbbing that you consider it a normal part of your job.

But pain should not be part of your workday. The way you position your chair and keyboard goes a long way toward preventing injury.

Alan Bunch, occupational therapist/certified hand therapist at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast, suggests further ways to alleviate the pain.

“Making injury prevention a priority not only benefits your immediate comfort at work,” Bunch said, “it also reduces your overall risk of injury and long-term pain.”

Head and ShouldersIf your shoulders and neck ache after a long day of standing or viewing a computer, try this yoga technique: 1. Slowly roll your head toward your chest and hold for

5 to 10 seconds. You should begin to feel the muscles in your neck release from tension.

2. Slowly roll your head to the right side, and feel the stretch on the left side of your neck. Repeat on the left side.

3. Roll your shoulders in a full circle for five full rolls. Reverse the motion for five additional rolls.

4. Clasp your hands in front of you, and create a C-curve with your back to stretch in your upper back and shoulders.

Wrist FlexIf your wrists and fingers cramp after a long day of typing, try these hand motion techniques to stimulate blood flow:• Rotate your wrists in a circular motion clockwise, and

then counterclockwise. • Flex your hands up toward the ceiling, then point

them downward for five repetitions.

Break TimeThe enemy of any worker is repetitive motion — sitting in one place, holding a construction tool, or viewing a computer screen too long can create strain and discomfort. The answer to this problem is variety:• Take a three- to five-minute stretch break every 20 to

40 minutes of work.• If you perform a job that requires repetitive motions,

switch from one job to the next roughly every 20 minutes to prevent overuse injuries.

• If you can’t take a break, shift your position frequently: re-position your hold on a tool or sit in different spots on your chair.

Brand-New Luxury Apartments» Joint myth – Don’t believe the old wives’ tale that cracking your knuckles leads to ar-thritis. The cracking noise is simply the result of air bubbles popping in the synovial fluid that surrounds the joints. Motion can create these tiny bubbles, which make noise when popped. If other joints, such as your shoulder or knee, make noise when you simply move, and it’s accompanied by pain and/or swell-ing, it could be arthritis. But you won’t hurt yourself by cracking your knuckles.

-Bottom Line Health

» Bedside manner affects patients? – Rudeness and incivility among doctors, in particular in the operating room, can actu-ally lead to poorer health outcomes among patients. Doctors from Cedar Sinai and Johns Hopkins University collected data on previ-ous studies of surgeons’ behavior in the oper-ating room and the subsequent outcomes of the patients on whom they performed pro-cedures. They found that when doctors were more courteous to operating room staff, their patients were more likely to survive and avoid complications than the patients of docs who were O.R. boors.

Going vegan has sparked discussions with an assortment of colleagues, friends and strangers about the diet. I have to be clear about what I’m eating outside my home, so those around me have inevitably become aware of my vegan-ist plan. Along the way, I’ve encountered many who believe the diet to be unhealthy. I’m sur-prised, because the only reason I chose to try it was to become healthier. I don’t know what could be healthier than whole foods.

One issue could be the lack of calcium from abstaining from dairy. When a colleague brought this up, I honestly hadn’t thought of it. Perhaps it’s because I’m (mostly) finished grow-ing. Also, I think of milk when I think of cal-cium. I prefer milk alternatives anyways. But, of course I’m still getting less calcium on a vegan diet. It seems so obvious now that I still need it.

After doing some research, I realize calcium can be found in vegetables such as broccoli and kale, a leafy green. My mom, a health nut, is a huge fan of kale and eats it everyday. She be-lieves it’s the healthiest of the vegetables. I think it’s hard to eat, even mixed in with other greens. But, I suppose I should add more calcium-rich veggies to my diet.

There are, of course, calcium supplements as well. But, nutrients aren’t quite as healthy when

not found in their original source. So, fortified foods aren’t as good as the real thing. Still, it’s an option.

I’m not as worried about a lack of protein from the diet. I eat enough nuts, beans and oth-er protein products to combat it. Actually, I be-lieve there are enough nonmeat protein options out there for anyone to healthily go vegetarian. Also, I’ve been taking iron tablets for some time. Because I already abstained from non-seafood meat, it’s been essential for me to stay healthy.

One reader shot me an e-mail about the harms of soy after I mentioned it in one article. I’m thankful, because although I’ve heard ru-mors, I haven’t done my own research on it. It turns out there are a lot of websites dedicated to the evils of soy. The problem seems to be that it’s a form of estrogen, which can mess with a woman’s natural levels. This supposedly can interfere with getting pregnant and more. As soy is generally promoted as healthy, many people might not agree with this. But, my intake goes well beyond moderation. I think I’ll switch to almond milk, thank you.

For seniors looking to combat the aches and pains that come with growing older, aquatic therapy off ers a low-impact approach as simple as taking bath.

National health organizations like the Center for Disease Control and the Arthritis Founda-tion tout the benefi ts of aquatic therapy for adults suff ering from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, patients recovering from strokes, and adults who would otherwise be prevented from exercising.

According to Sally Brindle, aquatic program coordinator at the Arthur M. Glick Jewish Commu-nity Center of Indianapo-lis, a decade of teaching aquatic therapy classes has only reaffi rmed her belief in their value.

“I fell in love with the program and what it did for people,” Brindle said.

According to Brindle, two unique properties of water – buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure – are what make it perfect for many seniors.

“People who can’t walk on land often can walk in water,” Brindle said. “Your buoyancy in

the water takes the pressure off of your joints, while also acting as a natural resistance. Th e hy-drostatic pressure helps massage joints and mus-cles, and it’s very good for those with edema.”

Brindle’s students rave about aquatic therapy as well. Bob Bernard, 72, said his work in the pool keeps him fi t enough to continue his work on stage as a performer.

“I have arthritis, but I’m also an entertainer,” Bernard said. “Part of my performance includes choreography. Th e water exercise helps keep me looser so that I can do the steps required of my dance act.”

Five year class veteran Pat Pothast has joined Brindle within the last year as a certifi ed in-structor, and said her time as both student and teacher demonstrate the value of the therapy.

“I have fi bromyalgia,” Pothast said, “So my doctor recommended I take water classes. In the beginning, it was very hard, and I just felt lousy. But I just kept coming, and started feel-ing better.”

Her time spent in the pool also sped up her

recovery after surgery, Pothast said.“I have to take a steroid to keep my blood

pressure from bottoming out, but steroids de-stroy your bones,” she said. “So I had to have a

hip replacement. After that, though, I was out of bed and walking around within two days because my muscles were so strong from coming here.”

Borrowing against retirement soars – Loans against retirement plans were up overall last year, with one in seven borrowing money, according to new data from Aon Hewitt. TIAA-CREFF told Daily Finance that loans against its plans were up nearly 19 percent in 2010 from the previous year and there was a 7 percent increase in hardship withdrawals. Nearly 30 percent of all plans have a loan outstanding, the highest level in history, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Beat high blood pressure – Slow breathing and meditative practices such as qigong, yoga, and tai chi decrease stress hormones, which elevate renin, a kidney enzyme that raises blood pressure. Try fi ve minutes in the morning and at night. Inhale deeply and expand your belly. Exhale and release all of your tension. The right tunes can help, too, according to researchers at the University of Florence in Italy. They asked 28 adults who were already taking hypertension pills to listen to soothing classical, Celtic, or Indian music for 30 minutes daily while breathing slowly. After a week, the listeners had lowered their average systolic reading by 3.2 points; a month later, readings were down 4.4 points.

“Stand up straight!” Th ese are words most kids have heard from our mothers. Slouching usually led to “the look” or a lecture on posture. Some children may have even been forced to practice walking with a book on your head. Well, mom does know best. Although Mom was likely con-cerned about etiquette and appearance, good posture has health benefi ts.

So try this for just a moment: sit up straight, both feet on the fl oor, pelvis tilted. Tighten your stomach muscles and feel the slight arch in the back. Now, lift your shoulders up then push them back and down, neck straight and head up with the chin slightly tucked. Hold that – hold it, hold it…and relax. Who knew core strengthening was so simple. You can practice sitting, standing, walking, even while watching TV – and it doesn’t take any extra time out of your day or special equipment.

Oh sure, roll your eyes. How can something so simple make a diff er-ence? Good posture helps breathing and oxygen is a good thing. Plus, it helps with circulation. Following mom’s advice, can help anti-aging and can even drop some pounds. Straightening up trims you down? When the shoulders droop an additional 20 pounds is tacked on- 10 pounds from your head. I’m sure mom is saying “told you so” right about now.

It’s a myth our posture has to go the way of gravity as we age, but we have to straighten up if we want to continue to be able to straighten up! You don’t have to practice perfect posture every waking moment, but try incorporating a little into your daily routine. It’s an exercise you can do seven days a week, it costs no time or money, and the more you do it the easier it gets. Plus, Mom would be proud.

So at the risk of sounding like your mother, straighten up! You might be surprised. Turns out looking good really can make you feel good.

As a registered investment advi-sor, Steve Orr is used to juggling millions, but he knows those mil-lions started out as pennies.

President and owner of the Orr Financial Group is knows how to turn pennies into millions and juggling fi nances.

“It’s the dollar here, two dollars there things we pick up every day that start to add up, Orr said. We only don’t see the dollars – plus the interest – we could be earning on them.”

Orr said pension funds are being wiped out; companies are canceling matching contributions to employee 401(k) programs and decreasing Social Security.

Orr who authored the book, Th e Noisemakers, (www.thenoisemak-ers.com), said everyday little im-pulse buys are robbing accounts of pennies today, but millions later.

Orr demonstrated how every-day expenses – when eliminated – can turn into big bucks down

the road.Th e daily cup of specialty coff ee

is about $3.95. A daily sip of Joe for about 40 weeks out of the year, it would cost you about $27,650 over that 35 years.

Th e formula looks like this:• Coff ee or Latte – $3.95 X 5

= $19.75 X 40 = $790 X 35 = $27,650

• Energy shot – $3.99 X 5 = $19.95 X 40 = $798 X 35 = $27,930

• Muffi n – $3 X 5 = $15 X 40 = $600 X 35 = $21,000

• Lunch – $8 X 5 = $40 X 40 = $1,600 X 35 = $56,000

“If the total amount of these items were put into a retirement investment vehicle for 35 years with a three percent interest you could have an extra $246, 560 in your retirement plan, Orr said.

Steve Orr is the President and Owner of Orr Financial Group, a full service Registered Investment Advisor located in Victoria, Texas. Steve has been in the fi nancial industry since 1986 and has been independent since 1994.

I have worked in the health care industry for 21 years and currently serve as the community relations coordinator and admissions nurse for Riverview Hospital’s Acute Inpatient Rehabilita-tion program. One thing that I have learned during this time is that more people are in need of better information about health care and pre-paring to take care of their parents. If you think that you can put this off and fi gure it out after some life-changing event occurs, think about this: Someone that you love dearly has just experienced a life-altering event. Th ey are terrifi ed and need you there with them for support and encouragement. Now, you have to educate yourself on what their needs will be.

Will they need any equipment, or rehabilita-tion? Who will take care of their bills? Will you choose rehab, assisted living, or nursing facility? Can you get someone to stay with them so they can go home, and where do you fi nd those types of people? How much is that expense? And don’t forget that you still have your own life to manage along with all this.

Remember that knowledge is power. At this time in your life, you need as much power as

you can fi nd. I’m here to help. Th e fi rst thing you need to look at is what

type of support system you can put together. Call a meeting of family, friends, church mem-bers, neighbors, or anyone else your parents trust. Is there anyone with a medical back-ground or fi nancial expertise? Is there someone that could come in and sit with your loved one to off er supervision and friendly support? Does someone in your group have legal experience that could manage the wills or power of at-torney issues? Once you have inventoried your group for skills, make a list so you know where you still need help. Th is is your support team, and it is so much easier to fi gure everything out when you are not stressed out so that you can control this situation and not get overwhelmed.

Th is is only the fi rst of many steps in this type of planning. Take this and future articles of mine on this topic as your learning tool and start preparing your family so you can better help your family members whenever they might need you.

While you’re sweating at the gym to lose those extra fi ve pounds and fi t into your “skinny jeans,” you may not realize that your propensity for maintaining a regular exercise schedule as you age is directly related to how independent of a life you could live as an older adult.

Research suggests that older adults who ex-ercise regularly live longer, more independent lives and enjoy better long-term brain health than their non-exercising counterparts. Th e defi nition of eff ective exercise changes as people age, and knowing which exercises can help you prevent common problems associated with the aging process helps you get the most value out of your exercise program.

C.L.I.M.B. (Confi dence, Longevity, Indepen-dence, Mobility and Balance), a national well-ness program for the aging population, focuses on improving lower-body strength to impact an individual’s capacity to live independently for longer. Th e program was recently awarded one of eight national “Best of the Best” awards by the Assisted Living Federation of America for its impact on older adults.

Gordon Benfi eld, director of member services at the Stratford in Carmel, says it is important for older adults to focus on their lower-body strength as they age, since that will also reduce their risk of falling in the future. Th e Stratford Recently implemented the C.L.I.M.B. program

as part of its wellness off erings.“Simple exercises such as chair stands and

step-ups make a big diff erence in a short period of time,” Benfi eld said. “Better yet, you can do these exercises in the comfort of your home while using basic household items such as chairs and canned goods.”

Benfi eld recommends the following exercises for older adults:

Work up to three sets of 10 for each, with 30 seconds of rest between each exercise.

Step-Ups – Using a step in your house, step up with right foot, up with left foot, down with right foot, down with left foot. Repeat.

Chair Stands – Using a chair in your house, cross your arms over your chest and rise to a standing position from a seated position, then back to a seated position. Repeat.

Seated Leg Extensions – From a seated posi-tion with your legs bent, extend one leg out until your knee is straight, then bend and place back on the fl oor. Do the same with your other leg to complete one set. Repeat.

After mastering these exercises, you can carry canned goods in each hand to increase the weight resistance during the step-up and chair stand exercises.

A recent Food and Drug Administration ruling has approved the shingles vaccine, Zostavax, for people aged 50 to 59 years. Th e vaccine was already approved for ages 60 and above, but a multicenter study showed it was also eff ective for a younger age group.

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. Although varicella-zoster is part of a group of the herpes viruses, it is not the same virus that causes cold sores or genital herpes, a sexually transmitted disease.

Anyone who’s ever had chickenpox is at risk for developing shingles. After a person has recovered from chickenpox, the virus is never fully cleared from the body. Instead, it lies inactive in certain nerve cells, and can reappear as shingles years later. Th e cause for this reemergence remains unknown; however, a weakened immune system (e.g., emotional stress, other illness, certain medications, can-cer, AIDS) is thought to cause the virus to reactivate and move along nerve fi bers to the skin.

A person must already have had chicken-pox in the past in order to develop shingles. Shingles cannot be transmitted from one

person to another, and contact with someone who has chickenpox will not trigger shingles. However, a person with shingles can pass the virus to anyone who hasn’t had chickenpox (or the chickenpox vaccine); especially if there has been direct contact shingle’s the open sores. In other words, the infected person will develop chickenpox, not shingles.

Shingles can be a debilitating condition, characterized by a painful rash that often ap-pears in a band-like distribution on one side of the face or body. Although the rash generally heals within a month, severe pain and extreme sensitivity to touch persist in some cases. Th is complication, known as post-herpetic neural-gia, may last for several months or even years. Additionally, shingles in or around the eye can lead to vision loss, so this problem requires prompt medical attention. Antiviral medica-tions can help decrease its duration and the risk of complications.

Clinical trials have shown Zostavax to re-duce the risk of developing shingles by more than half in people over 60, and by 70 percent in those aged 50 to 59. Moreover, those who develop shingles despite the vaccine tend to have milder disease. Millions of Americans have had chickenpox as children meaning they are at risk for shingles; thus, should consult their doctors about getting vaccinated.

At Lambert’s Lowery Organ Center in No-blesville, an increasing number of local seniors are fi nding that learning a new instrument at this point in their lives is easier and more enjoy-able than they might have imagined.

Lambert’s off ers hour-long classes on Mon-days, Wednesdays and Saturdays to anyone – regardless of age, skill level or prior experience – who would like to learn to play the organ, or virtual orchestra, as they are commonly called today.

But seniors have especially been drawn to the classes’ low cost and friendly environment. Judy Lambert, who owns the store with her husband, said participants pay $20 for six weeks of classes and during that time are provided with an in-strument to be kept in their home for practice at no additional charge. Th e virtual orchestras even include features that allow novices to play complete songs during their fi rst lesson.

“It’s the easiest instrument to learn to play,” Lambert said. “And when you take the pressure out of learning, it makes it a lot more enjoy-able…If they play the wrong note, who cares? Th ey’re having fun.”

And that fun comes from more than play-ing music. Lambert said each class is more like a social gathering, with many of the attendees developing friendships along the way.

“It’s a great society to be in for the elderly,” said Katheryn Th ompson, 94, of Noblesville. Th ompson said she joined the class because she “wanted to live again” and has been very happy with that decision. “Th e friendships that you make here are invaluable.”

Sometimes the participants choose to take their class work outside the walls of the music store. Some of the more experienced students choose to play at nursing homes, Riverview Hospital and other places in the community.

“Th ey get out there and entertain,” Lambert said.

Lambert said she will continue to add more classes in the near future because, not only are more seniors expressing an interest in learning the instrument, but many of the students have remained in the class long past the initial six weeks.

“It opens up a whole new world for you,” said Frances King of Noblesville, one of the class’ original students.

According to the National Aging in place Council, “an overwhelming majority of older Americans want to remain in their homes for as long as possible, but lack awareness of home and community-based services that make indepen-dent living possible.”

Th e fi rst area of consideration of modifi ca-tions can increase independence and mobility. While multi-stage ramps are one solution, sloping walkways and raised surfaces are more aesthetic options. Inside, widening doorways, hallways and stairways may become necessary to allow adequate room for moving from one space to another. Perhaps moving the master bedroom to the main would enhance the ease of daily life. Handrails, grab rails and other permanent aides become essential to getting around inde-pendently. Stair lifts, chair lifts, and even eleva-tors are now available and more economical for residential use.

Kitchens and bathrooms are often two prob-lem areas for the aging population. A little remodeling in these rooms can extend a person’s stay in their home. Installing low steps for roll-ing into showers with adequate seating and lower toilets can majorly improve independent mobility. Existing kitchens can be improved by providing places for food preparation and storage at a comfortable height. Subtle changes

in lighting and use of color can also help in making living space more pleasant and easier to navigate.

Modern monitoring technology help protect loved ones from unattended operation, and alert loved caregivers of emergency or assistance when needed. Video communications with adult chil-dren and grandchildren can improve regular con-nectivity without leaving the residence’s comfort.

In addition to home improvements, in-home community based services are making inde-pendent living more attainable. Every day new in-home services are being off ered including nursing, companion care and doctors who make house calls. Even assistants to help with pet care and daily tasks. Whatever the situation, consider the value of making necessary changes to an existing home to maximize independence and enhance daily lifestyle for years to come.

Falls and fall-related injuries are the leading cause of injury deaths among older adults. Fall-related hip fractures account for approximately 25 percent of injury deaths among those over age 65.

Among adults 70 years and older in the United States, falls are the cause of 16 percent of all emergency department visits. Risk factors associated with falls include neuropathy, ankle instability, and weakness along with other spe-cifi c acute and chronic diseases that can impact sensory and musculoskeletal systems. Other risks include:

1. Gait/ankle instability, weakness, unstable gait, osteoarthritis

2. Taking four or more medications3. Foot problems or unsafe footwear4. Blood pressure abnormalities5. Visual impairments6. Obstacles and hazards at homeResearch has shown that treating and correct-

ing these specifi c risk factors reduces the rate of falling by more than 30 percent. Postural con-trol is a modifi able factor in fall prevention. Pos-tural control can be described as the ability of a person to maintain their center of gravity over their legs, ankles and feet. Th e ability to main-

tain a stable upright posture is an important factor involving our sensory system, not only in the initiation and the control of voluntary movement, but also in the prevention of injury. Decreased postural control or increased postural sway can occur because of ankle instability and when there is a loss of normal sensation, such as in diabetes and other causes of peripheral neu-ropathy, then the risk for falls increases.

Fortunately, there are many devices that as-sist the fall-prone with walking. Other than canes and walkers, there is now a new brace, when worn on both lower extremities improves postural control and improves the time it takes these individuals in certain timed tests aimed at evaluating fall risk.

Its design allows for the elderly to easily ap-ply and remove it and fi t it into shoes without diffi culty. It is custom made and cushioned for comfort, yet provides stability at the ankle joint and increased sensation by the patient which improves balance. Get your fall risk assessment today. A preliminary questionnaire is available at westfi eldfoot.com under New Patients then Patient Forms - Fall Risk Assessment Form.

ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in The Woods at Wil-liams Creek neighborhood on the west side of Carmel, was built about eight years ago. The home sits facing a landscaped pond yet only had the original small elevated deck without a patio. The goal of the project was to create an environment where the homeowners could enjoy the out-doors more.

DESIGN CHANGES: The project architect reviewed several potential designs with the homeowner. The goal was to create a seam-less outdoor living space which connected the main level of the home, the elevated deck and the ground level patio sitting area.

ELEVATED DECK CHANGES: The foot print of the existing deck was expanded and new 5/4x6 cedar decking was installed with concealed fasteners. The existing railing was replaced with 2x6 cedar handrail and black aluminum Vienna Belly balusters. New 6” x 6” decorative newel posts in a Victorian profile were installed with ball tops on corner newels only. New 10” diam-eter by 96” tall tapered smooth round columns were installed to support the deck. The column bases were faced with painted brick to match the existing home and topped with decorative cast stone caps. Finally, the cedar trim and deck rail-ing was painted to match the existing house trim color and the new cedar decking was stained with a semi-transparent oil-based stain.

UNDER DECKING: The homeowner wanted to enjoy the patio space under the elevated deck without worrying about rainwater dripping down; so, we installed a Dry space under-deck drainage system. Also, adding an associated gut-ter and downspout system above the covered pa-tio space. The drainage system was covered with

painted exterior grade bead board plywood. A new ceiling fan/light was centered above the covered patio space.

NEW PATIO SITTING AREA: The project includes a new curved concrete paver patio including a path connecting the deck to the main patio area. The pavers were installed in a staggered herringbone pattern. Finally, the patio area was finished off with a new collection of outdoor wicker patio furniture.

This sophisticated musical about Indiana’s favorite son, Cole Porter, cleverly crafts song and dance, while intertwining narration to tell the story of Porter’s life. Beginning in Peru, Indiana to Paris, to the bright lights of Broadway, to Hollywood, the show in-cludes such Cole Porter hits as “I Love Paris”, “Anything Goes”, “Night & Day”, “ I Get A Kick Out of You”....

Devised by Benny Green and Alan StrachanSEPTEMBER 9-25, 2011

The Words and Music of Cole Porter

In this long running Off-Broadway hit musical revue, Forbidden Broadway pokes, prods, teases and lampoons anything Broadway has to offer- but always with love. This cannon of witty and oftentimes brilliant parodies is a time capsule of the American Theatre. Journey through more than 20 Broadway shows and spend the evening with Carol Channing, Julie An-drews, Ethel Merman, not to mention the casts of The Lion King, Wicked, Mamma Mia, Hairspray and so many more in this entertaining tribute to some of Broadway’s greatest shows and stars!

Written by Gerard Alessandrini

OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 20,2011

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as ‘the relationship.’ Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and new-borns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilari-ous revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, ‘Say, what are you doing Saturday night?’

Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro, Music by Jimmy Roberts

APRIL 27-MAY 20, 2012

Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and featuring a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz, “Godspell” boasts a string of well-loved songs, led by the international hit, “Day By Day.” As the cast performs “Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord,” “Learn Your Lessons Well,” “All For The Best,” “All Good Gifts,” “Turn Back, O Man” and “By My Side,” the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and hearteningly to life.
