“I am happy as can be! It is wonderful to have no back pain after the Laser Treatments from Dr. Srini”………

Robert Russell who is still back pain free at 8 months after treatment, is the world’s first patient to receive the minimally invasive Deep Tissue Low Intensity Laser Therapy (DT-LILT™) for failed back surgery syndrome. DT-LILT™ involves a new contact laser device for selectively destroying the C pain fibers while leaving the healthy tissues intact. DTLILT™ is invented by Dr. Srini and is first of its kind in the world. DT-LILT™ is NOT FDA approved and is available only at Advanced Interventional Pain Center.

“ I would say the future of pain care is here. With terrible leg pain I had hardly played any golf for the last 2 years. After getting just one treatment from Dr. Srini, I cannot believe that I completed the entire 18 holes with absolutely no pain ”…..

Otis Oliver, after permanent pain relief from peripheral vascular pain. He does not require surgery.

“ I had severe tail bone pain and sciatica after falling on a hard object. For five years I had suffered in severe pain visited many treatment facilities and have spent over $ 60,000 in treatments without any pain relief. I am simply delighted that after just one treatment I am pain free”….. Barbara Wolfe, one year after treatment.

“My knees are 100% pain free without surgery after Dr. Srini’s treatment and I feel 10 years younger!”.........

Mary Flora (Kokomo, IN)

(Medicare Accepted)

301 E Carmel Drive, Suite D‐100, Carmel, IN 46032; Tel: 317‐641‐5183

“ Over three years I have suffered from terrible headaches, I also had low back pain. I was told there was no hope for my pain condition and was put on addictive medications that affected my everyday functioning. I am simply delighted that I am pain free after 3 treatments by Dr. Srini who explained the science behind my pain condition. He has proven that my incurable pain condition was indeed curable! ”….. Edwina Foust after receiving permanent pain relief from headaches.

My name is Vicki Hinkle. I have struggled with foot pain for many, many years. I have had treatment and surgery from several very experienced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause life style changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shopping with friends. I had accepted with sadness; the reality those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonderful results in less than a week after my treatment by Dr. Srinivasan. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, accomplished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again. I encourage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back too!

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS WILL VARY. Advanced Interventional Pain Center is the nation’s only pain center to have consistently over 90% pain treatment success rates 4 years in a row. Advanced Interventional Pain Center promotes innovative minimally invasive treatments for long term pain relief without surgery or addictive medications. Advanced Interventional Pain Center aims to reduce healthcare spending by preventing ER visits, Surgical Treatments and Hospitalizations because of Chronic Pain.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that the decision from the Obama administration to try the September 11 bombing suspects in a military court is a good one. In examining the viability of a civilian court rendering an appropriate verdict in these matters, and since the al-Qaeda suspects were treated as combatants from the onset, interrogations and even the reading of rights was likely not performed in manner that would make any of the resultant evidence admissible in the courtroom. Additionally, it would be somewhere between difficult and impossible to find an impartial jury.

Moreover, the massive costs surrounding security and crowd control in the city where the trials would take place bring an unreasonable burden to already cash-strapped municipalities. If and when a guilty verdict was rendered, the sentence would likely be carried out in a Federal prison in the continental U.S. exposing the Court and the prison to attack from alQaeda. While much has been said about President Obama’s evolving view on this matter, we are pleased with the course it is presently taking. His maintenance of a consistent position on the subject is less material to us than the positive final (and successful) disposition of the issue.

Primary matters

It is our position that now is the time to selfeducate and take note about those running for office to represent us in the upcoming primary election. In many cases, this mechanism, designed to determine the candidate to represent each political party in the general election, becomes the de facto determinate for who will be chosen.

Most candidates have websites and are willing to talk to potential voters. Read the mail from the would-be political leaders and form informed opinions. Do we prefer the status quo or are we eager for change? Do we have issues that we care about; and what is the corresponding viewpoint from the candidate? We must not allow the increasing amount of yard signs seen along the streets and byways be the sole guide.

While we believe that it is in everyone’s best interest to become educated on the candidates and vote, we also believe that if one hasn’t taken the time to research in advance, it is still important to vote on those races and issues with which one does have familiarity. Please don’t show-up at the polls on May 3 unprepared. Research now and be happy for it later.

Current will publish an election guide on April 30.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Our town rated No. 1 for families Well played, Fishers. All our town’s growth, development and amenities have converged to bring us yet another accolade … and a well-deserved one, at that! The Learning Channel has named Fishers the No. 1 destination for families to live. We’re happy for the tag. Now the opportunity exists to maintain it – or improve what we have going – and remain at the top! Earlier, Bloomberg BusinessWeek cited our town as the best affordable suburb in the United States. TLC stated that the town is “the city most likely to steal your heart away.” This doesn’t surprise your humble columnists in the least. It was, to be truthful, one of the primary drivers behind our decision to launch Current in Fishers back in January.

Where there are great demographics and everything appears to be moving forward in a wonderfully positive direction, Fishers was a no-brainer for us. It, too, seems to be so viewed not only by those who locate here but also by national media organizations that keep an eye on the town from afar. And there is nothing wrong with that!

City question still in mind Editor, Almost one year ago, 1700 Fishers citizens filed a petition with the Town Council that, by law, required the Town to put the issue of city status up for a vote. How did the Town Council react?

They adopted a “reorganization plan” that creates a city but – surprise, surprise - eliminates your right to vote for a Mayor and to directly elect a city council. Instead, the reorganization plan says that Fishers’ new mayor will be appointed by the city council and not by the voters of the City of Fishers. And who is on the city council? The reorganization plan says that the current town council members will be the city council until 2015, and thereafter they will be elected “at large” rather than from individual districts. Fishers would be the first and only city in Indiana where its citizens cannot vote for mayor and directly elect council members.

Really, I’m not making this up – take a look on page 8 and 9 of the plan found on the Town’s website at https://www.fishers.in.us/egov/

docs/12940790227886.pdf This is the same Town Council that shows up at election time proclaiming their allegiance to the flag and the constitution, and their concern for the citizens of Fishers. Yet, behind the scenes they’re spending tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of taxpayer dollars trying to eliminate your right to choose your public officials.

The courtroom battle is just beginning, but even in the unlikely event that a Court were to rule that the Town Council is legally entitled to eliminate voting rights – what does it say to you that they want to?

You won’t hear Town Council members talking much about their elimination of your right to vote for city officials this campaign season, but the next time you hear them claiming to respect the will of the citizens of Fishers you might ask them how elimination your right to vote makes Fishers a better, safer or cleaner place to live.

been salivating at the thought of buttered popcorn for days). I called Doo to confirm that the magic was still going to happen (praying notso-silently for a change in plans that included another overnight) and learned, to my utmost horror, that they were already on their way back!

Doo gave me two hours tops.

Rat farts! There goes the flick. But with my high efficiency level, I knew I still had enough time for chores (because sadly, I actually enjoy cleaning when no one is around). Then Doo said, “And when I get there, I’ll need a break from these kids! You’ll have to take charge tonight. I’m out.” I replied with the same line he gives me whenever our roles are reversed, “But honey, I’ve been at work! You’re the one on vaca-

tion!” Ha! Ha! He found me less than amusing and hung up.

That butthole! Didn’t he recognize I had worked my tail off for two days straight, not only at my job but on the house? Why was he being so mean?

Realization dawned as I prepped a bucket of Murphy’s Oil soap: I hadn’t validated his feelings! He’d responded the same way I do when Doo complains that his world is “harder” then mine, becoming immediately defensive. Because being a single parent, even if it’s just for an overnight, drains you to the core. True, Doo hadn’t been at work, but a road trip with four kids and a busted GPS is so not the equivalent of sipping a Bahamas Mama at the beach.

When the crew finally arrived home, I gave Doo his well-deserved “there, theres” and announced this had been a good experience for us. He could finally appreciate the way children can beat you down when you don’t have a break from them, and I could now understand how work seriously gets in the way of fun. I’m still disappointed, though. I really wanted to see that movie. Peace out.

COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson I’m kind of disappointed right now. What I thought was going to be a magical 36-hour sojourn from marriage and motherhood has turned out to be not so magical. Here’s what happened.

Doo took the kids to Chicago for an overnight visit since I had to work over Spring Break. I, in my naivety, assumed I would enjoy a glorious 36 hours of no familial responsibility whatsoever. Incidentally, this is the very first time I’ve ever been alone at home. It’s usually me ditching Doo to haul kids to Alabama or Kentucky or South Carolina for my family vacations. Needless to say, my expectations were high.

So what went wrong? Well for starters, I had a full day of work yesterday on a not-so-great night’s sleep. By the time I got home, all plans to see a B-grade movie or order Thai carryout were shoved aside by debilitating fatigue. I settled for a frozen Tostino’s pizza and two hours of “I Shouldn’t Be Alive,” and then called it quits at nine. But I still had today, right? At least that’s what I told myself each time the lonely cat, which generally sleeps with a son, yowled for attention throughout another night of lessthan-satisfactory sleep.

Government academy takes the reins at mock council meeting

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers Thirty participants in the town government academy got to act as members of the town council, department heads and remonstrators Monday night during a “mock council meeting.”

Town Manager Scott Fadness presented the meeting agenda, and explained the basic workings of a council meeting before council president Scott Faultless called the meeting to order.

The “council” had a full agenda, including several issues the real council has recently faced or is still considering – among them, adopting a new salary ordinance and the use of eminent domain for economic development.

Council members were presented with a salary ordinance proposing a 3 percent increase in salaries of town employees. Fadness, acting as himself in this case, explained to the council that adopting the ordinance would necessitate budget cuts elsewhere: He cited removing a planned intersection improvement or denying the police department two new officers as examples of possible cuts.

Fadness also explained that salary discussions take place with all parties involved long before an ordinance gets to the council.

“I would never let employees find out what

their salaries are going to be the day after the council meeting in the (newspaper),” Fadness said.

The council then heard a request from the “SunShower Nudist Colony” to hold a parade around the downtown area. The parade request was fictitious, although there is a Sunshower Country Club in Richmond, Ind., which operates as a family nudist resort.

Several acting council members, as well as remonstrators, expressed concerns about nudity during the parade, and questioned whether Fishers was an appropriate venue for such an event.

“There are land mines all around this issue,” Faultless cautioned the academy. “They have First Amendment rights to free speech, expression, assembly.”

At the conclusion of the meeting, academy participants questioned Faultless on the recent departure of former town manager Gary Huff. Faultless said that, while the council had known Huff was seeking a new job for some time – Faultless even served as a reference for him to other communities – it was Huff publicly stating his desire to leave that prompted the council to act.

“We decided that, this way, Gary could move forward, and we could move forward as well,” Faultless said.

As a Catholic school, we welcome a diverse group of students who join as one to seek excellence in the classroom, on the playing fields and stage, and in service to others — and we’ve been doing it for more than 92 years.

Christina Mangelson (R) Three most important issues facing Fishers: 1. School funding 2. Sustainability 3. Transportation Should Fishers develop a town center? “No. This could be something the citizens and the town council could reconsider when the economy has improved.”

••• Jason Meyer (R) Three most important issues facing Fishers: 1. Economic Development 2. Efficient government 3. Public safety Should Fishers develop a town center? “Yes. It should consist of mixed-use commercial, residential, arts, cultural and open community green space… along a stretch of 116th St., west of I-69 as its center. It should be a co-operative effort funded by a developer and the Town of Fishers through a TIF (tax increment financing).”

••• Carl “Pete” Peterson (R) Three most important issues facing Fishers: 1. Commercial development 2. Protecting the school system 3. Government transparency Should Fishers develop a town center? “Yes. A town center could enhance Fishers’ identity and provide another economic engine.

The 116th St. corridor is highly congested. Putting the center close to 116th St. and I-69 would only add to the current problem. It should be funded by private enterprise and not direct tax dollars.

Michael Colby (R) Three most important issues facing Fishers: 1. Economic development 2. Infrastructure improvements Colby 3. Leisure and arts activities Is Fishers current economic development vision adequate? “No. It should be given a higher priority. The commercial/industrial to residential ratio is perilously low. If something is not done to attract businesses to the community the tax burden is going to fall squarely on the backs of town residents.”

••• Monte Chamberlain (R) Three most important issues facing Fishers: 1. Real estate caps and housing market 2. Commercial business base 3. School economics Is Fishers current economic Chamberlain development vision adequate?“ No. Our tax base reflects that we are a bedroom community. Communities that we are competing with for new business have stronger infrastructure and options that are more conducive to luring new business.

Gregory A. Purvis (D) Three most important issues facing Fishers: 1. Business development 2. Government accountability 3. Planning for the future Which form of government is best for Fishers? “Standard Purvis city. Being a City with an elected Mayor with a City Council elected by real districts as well as some at-large seats, provides the checks and balances and separation of powers that town government or the so-called “hybrid” do not.”

••• John W. Weingardt (R) Three most important issues facing Fishers: 1. Strategic economic development 2. Adequate funding for our schools 3. Public safety Which form of government Weingardt is best for Fishers? “Hybrid city. The appointed mayor can be focused, in part, on economic development. Transitioning to a hybrid city would be our first step to having an official of Fishers being full time to handle the business as the chief executive of our community.”

Road repairs take center stage

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers With many Fishers roads still marred by the February ice storm, town officials want to send residents a message: Help is on the way.

Town Manager Scott Fadness and Eric Pethtel, director of public works, laid out the roads needing the most attention, and the town’s course of action.

Pethtel identified four roads in need of emergency repair: Hawthorne Ridge, Gray Eagle Drive, Watercrest Drive and Sweet Briar Parkway.

“I’m not sure that our roads have seen any greater distress than the rest of the metropolitan area,” said Fadness, “but the residents of Fishers have come to expect a certain level of quality from our infrastructure.”

Fadness and Pethtel explained that road repairs have been delayed until now while the town waited for local asphalt vendors to open. Emergency patches earlier in the year required the public works department to purchase asphalt from a vendor on the south side of Indianapolis at $90 per ton.

8 | April 19, 2011

With more vendors open, the town expects to pay $30-$40 per ton for the estimated 30,000 tons needed.

“We’ll be able to do three times what we could have done if we did it even just 30 days before,” Fadness said.

Fadness budgeted the material cost of the repairs at $749,972 – money that will be diverted from excess funds budgeted for intersection improvements.

“It should have no additional impact on property taxes, and we should be able to do all the projects we intended,” Fadness said.

Once Pethtel authorizes the notice to proceed, the project will have a 40day window for completion.

“We thank residents for their patience, but also want to remind them that as they are entering these areas, they are entering work zones and to drive with caution,” Pethtel said.

A map of affected areas will be available online at www.fishers.in.us.

Fadness also urged residents to report any other potholes or road problems they see, which can be done through the Web site or the town’s iPhone app.

Conner Prairie awarded $10,000 to recreate natural habitat

By Krista Bocko Current in Fishers Public voting and community support has secured Conner Prairie a $10,000 Golden Eagle Environmental Grant to help return much of the park’s 850 acres back to a natural wildlife habitat.

Containing Hamilton County’s largest contiguous stretch of undeveloped land, Conner Prairie’s initial phase of the project was completed in 2009 in partnership with the USDA. This phase returned 200 acres of farmland back to a natural habitat of warm-season prairie grasses. The second phase of the project, funded by the grant award, will be to create wetlands. Once complete, guests will be able to view native plants, animals and birds from an observation deck and boardwalk accessing the wetlands and adjacent grass restoration area.

Representatives from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, IUPUI’s Center for Earth and Environmental Science and Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL) determined the final grant amounts for the top grant recipients.

IPL Golden Eagle Environmental Grants provide funds for projects that will preserve, protect, enhance or restore environmental and biological resources throughout IPL’s operating territory. This year, for the first time, IPL partnered with Emmis Communications to broaden involvement in the environmental grant process by inviting the public to vote for their favorite

President and CEO Ellen Rosenthal receives $10,000 grant check from IPL representative Matthew McCardle project on WIBC. Three area nonprofits with the highest number of votes received the Golden Eagle Grant, and IPL awarded six runners-up grants of $1,000 for their projects.

“Conner Prairie received the grant due to the community’s support via a social media campaign. It was the first time they implemented this strategy, and it seemed to work for the benefit of all parties involved,” said Alpha Garrett, Conner Prairie’s public relations manager.

Camptown, a program that helps kids reconnect with nature through school programs, river clean-ups and other environmental educational programs, was another Golden Eagle Grant recipient, as was the Hoosier Heartland Resource Conservation Council for its invasive plant project, an effort to educate the public on harmful nonnative invasive plants and how to remove and replace them with native plants.

Community First Initiative holds “it takes a village” to heart

Community First Initiative 3-Year Celebration

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers In the midst of a virtual firestorm surrounding school funding, bargaining rights and state voucher programs, Darren Heil thinks the simplest way to help students is just to sit down with them one on one.

“It’s not rocket science what we need,” Heil said. “We need people to engage the next generation. It’s a whole community’s responsibility, in my mind, to take care of our kids.”

Heil is the president and founder of Community First Initiative, a non-profit organization which works with schools in Fishers, Noblesville and Carmel to pair adult mentors with students.

The mentors meet with students during the school day to talk about what’s going on in their lives, offer guidance, but most importantly, Heil said, simply to be there Heil for them.

“Our philosophy is: Any student,” Heil said. “Any student, even a straight-A student, can benefit from having a mentor. It’s been shown that if a student has three or more caring adults outside of parents or teachers, that they’re probably going to be a success.”

This celebration and fundraiser will feature stories from students and mentors, the winner of the “Give Us a Name” contest, and live music by Indianapolis artist Kelly Taylor.

Date: Friday, April 29 Time: 6:30 p.m.

Location: “The Barn” community center at Northview Church, 12900 Hazel Dell Pkwy, Carmel Tickets: $10 online / $15 door Information: http://www.go-cfi.org or call 317-572-5045

tions High School junior Reagan Bell.

CFI currently offers programs at the Options Charter Schools in Carmel and Noblesville, Noblesville High School, and Fishers Junior High.

Crystal Thorpe, principal at Fishers Junior High, said she’s seen notable improvements in students during the year CFI has been active at the school.

“Some of these kids are kind of quiet,” Thorpe said. “A lot of them are the ones you want to offer more to, because they go through life just unassuming. I think it kind of helps them break out of that shell and get them connected.”

Andrea Davis, whose son is involved in the Fishers Junior High program, agreed.

“We moved here not knowing anyone,” she said. “I think it’s been very beneficial to help him get more acclimated and keep his thinking on track.”

“As a parent, we get busy sometimes, or don’t sit and listen like we should,” Davis added, “and for teenagers I think that’s very important to have.”

A personal investment

“It’s not that I hated school, it’s not that I was a bad kid, it’s just that trying to keep myself together was my main priority,” said Heil, explaining that much of the inspiration for CFI came from his own experiences in navigating childhood. “Even then, though, I wouldn’t have been able to articulate.”

Heil, who first moved to Fishers in 1985, said he attended four different high schools, moving regularly between Indiana and his mother’s house in South Carolina. Eventually, Heil moved in with a local couple, Robert and Nancy Curry.

“They were a big reason I was able to graduate high school,” Heil said. “They really helped me get my grades up, from all F’s the first semester of high school.”

After graduation, Heil traveled with the African Children’s Choir, and then joined the U.S. Army Reserve at 23. In 1998, he returned to Hamilton County and began working in youth ministry.

While he enjoyed the work, he said he felt “boxed in” at times.

“We really couldn’t reach out to students (in

Bell, left, and Wallace schools) unless we were invited to,” Heil said.

So Heil began formulating the idea for CFI, and started talking to educators and school administrators.

“I went into every meeting thinking, if they tell me no, if it’s already being done, I’ll bag it,” Heil said. “But, people kept saying, this can be done, you need to do it.”

“The dean of one school said to me, we are a blue ribbon school, but we do have kids falling through the cracks,” Heil remembered. “Just once, I’d love for someone to come to us and say, ‘How can we help you?’ Not just, ‘Can we use your gym for this event?’”

A whole community’s responsibility “The relationships are pretty new. That being said, it’s been really cool meeting with my group of girls, hearing about what’s going on every week, celebrating their success,” said mentor Shelbie Wallace.

Wallace said her experience with CFI allows her to use her background in counseling, without the clinical aspects therapy entails.

“I don’t feel the pressure to diagnose anyone,” she said “I can just be here and listen. I can just say, ‘I’m here and I care about you.’”

“I thought I’d hate it, but I actually like having people to talk about stuff,” said Carmel Op-

Current in Fishers

On April 29, Heil and Community First Initiative will be marking their third year of serving the community with a celebration at Northview Church, located at 12900 Hazel Dell Pkwy, Carmel.

The celebration will feature stories from students and mentors, the announcement of the “Give Us a Name” contest currently underway, and live music by Indianapolis artist Kelly Taylor. Gaylor Electric has signed on as the corporate sponsor. Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door. More information is available at http://www.go-cfi.org.

Heil said he also hopes the community will support CFI’s two other fundraising programs: 1,000 for 10, and 100 for 100. The former asks 1,000 individuals to donate $10 a month to the program.

The latter is oriented toward businesses, asking for a donation of $100 from 100 local businesses looking to support the mentoring program.

By Krista Bocko Current in Noblesville Forty five families—including 60 kids in total—are counting on a Fishers-based cooperative preschool to be able to find a new home by this August.

Co-op preschools are ones run primarily by the parents of the students with some help from paid professionals. Because of this arrangement, tuition is cheaper than traditional preschools.

Founded in 1996, Fishers Pointe Cooperative Preschool, now in its third location, quickly outgrew its previous two. Based in Northeast Community Church (9959 East 126th St.) for the past five years, the school’s lease with the church is up in August. The school learned last winter that its lease would not be renewed because of the growing church’s plans to utilize the space differently, and parents have been searching ever since for a new, suitable space to house the school.

While it may seem that space should not be an issue in Hamilton County, that’s not proving to be the case in this situation.

“We can’t find the square footage that a quality program requires,” teacher Carla Bidwell said. “Enrollment is not a problem for us.

Having dedicated, hard-working parents is not a problem. We have no problems with any of that. It’s just the space.”

There are a dozen cooperative preschools in the metropolitan Indianapolis area. Fishers Pointe is the only cooperative preschool in Hamilton County, having started here because “Hamilton County fit our demographics,” Bidwell, a founding member of the co-op, said.

The school follows the high standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and is a member as well of the Indiana Council for Preschool Cooperatives. These groups set the standards for minimum square footages per child, curriculum

and parental involvement.

“We don’t want to step away from that high standard,” Bidwell said. “We’re finding that church buildings are small, or their educational areas are small.”

Lisa Switzer, co-president of the co-op since last May, has been searching diligently since for a new space with co-president Courtney Floyd.

“The ones who’ve wanted to welcome us in just don’t have the space, and if they do have the space, they already have a preschool of their own,” Switzer said.

The possibility of locations other than churches is being explored as well. “We have a commercial Realtor, it’s just—what can we afford?” Switzer said. They hope to stay in Fishers but are exploring the outskirts of Fishers, such as the south side of Noblesville or the east side of Carmel.

Office and warehouse spaces that have not been built out is generally out of the budget for the school, though its leaders are looking into getting pre-approved for a mortgage, should they find a suitable space to purchase.

“We’ve increased our fundraising and are trying to raise enough money [for those options],” Floyd said.

When it comes down to it, if the school can’t find a space, or finds a space to purchase and can’t afford a mortgage, they won’t be open in August.

“And we’re bound and determined not to see that happen,” Floyd said.

“We’ve worked too hard for that,” Switzer added.

The parents are optimistic they’ll have a new home. “Even though we don’t know what our address is going to be in the fall, parents are writing checks and enrolling their children,” Bidwell said.

ISSUE #13

Spring Training: Preventing Injuries This is the season for rededication to an exercise program, the season for getting outside and getting serious, the season for injuries. Preventing injuries is easier than treating them, but many people — intoxicated by newly warm weather or training for a spring race — cram too much training into their schedules. These people usually end up hurt.

Physician sPOTLiGhT

Michael Thieken, MD Sports Medicine, Orthopedic Surgeon

To avoid becoming one of them, sports medicine physician and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Thieken has a simple solution.

Slow down.

No, seriously, you: Slow down.

If you’ve been riding the sofa all winter or if you’ve simply cut back on your regular training schedule while the weather’s been cold, respect the state your body’s in when you get back into the swing of things.

“Slowly progress into training,” Dr. Thieken says. “If that means that training for a half marathon takes three good months, then that’s what you need to do. The issue is the person who comes off the couch and thinks, ‘Hey, I’m going do this half marathon in eight weeks and then does five miles the first time out.”

For that overzealous exerciser, what lies in wait are overuse injuries — shin splints, stress fractures and fasciitis (inflammation of connective tissues). And here’s the rub: Wind up with one of these injuries, and you lose valuable training time while waiting for it to heal.

In addition to progressing slowly, Dr. Thieken recommends that you maintain (or begin) stretching and strength training exercises.

“A lot of times people who are in training for a race cut out other things because running takes time,” Dr. Thieken says. “You might get to the gym intending to do strengthening and stretching but see you have just an hour and use it to run. But stretching and strengthening play just as important a role in preventing overuse injuries.”

Dr. Thieken holds office hours at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast on Fridays. Call 317-802-3232 to schedule an appointment.

Treating Ear Infections

Spring Senior Health Fair

Juanita Albright, MD Internal Medicine

Most ear infections clear up on their own after a few days, and your child’s doctor will likely recommend painrelieving eardrops, or acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain and fever, as needed. (cold and allergy medications, such as antihistamines and decongestants, do not help prevent or treat ear infections.) severe or repeated ear infections — or the prevention of future ear infections — may require the use of antibiotics. in most cases, however, your child’s primary care provider will likely not prescribe antibiotics, as antibiotics do not help infections caused by viruses, do not reduce fluid buildup, and typically do not relieve pain. Frequent antibiotic use can also lead to side effects, including an increase of antibioticresistant bacteria. if you think your child may have an ear infection, check in with your primary care provider or call 317.338.KiDs to discuss your child’s symptoms with a registered nurse.

Frost a cupcake with fluff frosting. Press a circle of coconut grass on top. Nestle the malted eggs on top of the grass. Gently press the peep onto the center of the grass. Cut the white Airhead into a 1/2 oval shape; trim one side so it has a cracked egg jagged edge. Place egg next to chick.

Vanilla cupcakes Ingredients • 2 2/3 cups sugar • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces • 2 large eggs • 2 large egg yolks • 2/3 cup milk • 2/3 cup water • 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour • 1 1/3 cups cake flour • 4 teaspoons baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup cupcake tins with paper liners. (To avoid cupcakes sticking if they overflow slightly, lightly spray the tops of the pans.) Put tins on a baking sheet. Set aside.

2. Process sugar and butter in a food processor until very creamy, scraping sides as needed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, pulsing after each addition. Add the milk, water, and vanilla and process to blend.

3. Whisk both flours, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients, in 3 batches to the wet, pulsing, and then scraping batter off the sides of the processor as needed after each addition. Process until the batter is very smooth and pourable like pancake batter, about 2 minutes.

4. Evenly pour the batter into the prepared cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Bake until the cakes are just firm and spring back when gently pressed, and the tops are golden, 18 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly in tin, and turn out of tin when cool enough to handle. Cool cupcakes completely on a rack before frosting.

Fluff frosting: Ingredients • 1/4 cup whole milk • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened • 5 cups confectioners’ sugar • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff • Pinch fine salt Directions

1. Whisk the milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Slowly beat the butter and sugar, in another medium bowl, with an electric mixer until incorporated. Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes.

(Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the sides of the bowl down with a rubber spatula.)

Add the fluff and salt and reduce the speed to low. Add the milk and vanilla mixture, scrape the bowl down, and mix until fully incorporated.

Raise the mixer to high and beat briefly until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Frost cupcake immediately.

Coconut Easter grass for cupcakes: Ingredients • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut • 1 to 2 teaspoons liquid green food coloring • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon liquid yellow food coloring Directions 1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a mesh rack on top, if available.

2. Put coconut in a shallow bowl. While tossing with a large spoon, add food coloring drop by drop until the desired color is reached. A little more green than yellow makes a pretty grass color. Add a few tablespoons water to moisten the mixture and help disperse the color evenly. If the color is too dark, add additional water, as needed, to dilute to the desired color. Drain the coconut in a sieve or strainer.

3. Spread the coconut in an even layer on the rack, or directly on the lined baking sheet. Place in the oven until dry, about 10 to 15 minutes. Use immediately, or store in covered container for up to 3 days.

Toasted spiced ham drizzled in honey Ingredients • 1 boneless country ham • 2 cups honey, for glazing ham • 2 tablespoons Toasted Spice Rub, recipe follows • 1 tablespoon thyme, chopped fine • 6 celery stalks Directions 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 2. Place ham on an open brown paper bag for easy clean up. With the tip of a paring knife carefully score a 1-inch grid pattern around the outside of the ham. Brush the entire surface of the meat on all sides with some of the honey.

3. Season the entire surface of the meat on all sides with the toasted spice rub and thyme.

Add about a half cup of water to the base of the roaster. Place ham on several celery sticks in the roasting pan.

4. Cook for 1 hour. Every 15 minutes, baste ham with juices that collect in the base of the roaster and the honey. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving as desired.

Toasted Spice Rub: Ingredients • 1/4 cup fennel seeds

16 | April 19, 2011

• • • •

1 tablespoon coriander seeds 1 tablespoon peppercorns 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes 1/4 cup (1-ounce) pure California sweet chili powder* • 2 tablespoons kosher salt • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Directions 1. Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. (Toasting freshens spices, releases their oils, and makes them more fragrant, as well as adding a new dimension of flavor.) When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly. Turn on the exhaust fan; add the red pepper flakes, and toss, toss, toss, always under the fan. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool. Put in a blender with the sweet chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground.

2. If you have a small spice mill blender or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients. Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.

3. *Chef’s Tip: Taste your chili powder and, if spicy and hot, cut back the amount. California chiles are almost sweet, not hot.

Words fail us at the cross SPIRITUALITY

By Bob Walters Some people are just not that into God because they have difficulty putting their faith into words.

So remember faith is first about our relationship with God, not the words we use to describe faith. Like my mentor and friend George says, “Develop your relationship with God. The words will come later.”

Besides, the word “word” among theologians is a confusing powder keg. Most regular folks are merely trying to communicate ideas or concepts with spoken or written words. But “word” in the Bible – the Word of God – has many meanings with theologically intricate nuances such as Christ, message, spirit and prophecy.

This Easter week – Holy Week – we encounter the Cross of Jesus Christ. Words easily fail us if we rely on them to describe our deepest love, faith and hope we have in the redemptive relationship we receive in Jesus.

The Bible is full of words, yet is a book about relationships. Why the Triune Godhead (FatherSon-Holy Spirit)? Because God is community, relationship and love. Why the Covenant with Israel? To reveal a relational God. Why was Jesus born? To present eternal God as a humble servant capable of entering our history of human relationships. Why was Jesus crucified? To defeat death, erase our sins and restore relationship with God. And why the resurrection? To teach

www.youarecurrent.com

us the truth of salvation: that in faith our relationship with God extends infinitely past death.

Relationship, relationship, relationship. Not words. Christians throughout the centuries have fought over words: “nature,” “will” and “worship” are common tinder for church debate.

But Jesus wasn’t primarily about words. He was about living an example, dying for others, and living again in relationship with us. Jesus returned sinful mankind to communion – relationship – with the eternal Creator God. The great danger of putting words before relationship is in evidence throughout the Christian landscape. We fight over words, even the ones in the Bible. Countless books, teachings, seminars, sermons and doctrines are full of words expressing countless ideas, concepts and gadget ways of doing this or that. Some are good, some are bad, some are heresies.

Jesus Christ is not an idea or a concept. He is a real, living person, the “Logos” Word of God with, in and through whom we are promised and invited into eternal, divine relationship with God in Heaven.

Know God first, and then trust him for the right words when you need them.

How to avoid deep vein thrombosis COMMENTARY

By Dr. Jugnoo Husain With summer approaching (though not fast enough!), many people will be taking vacations, and some trips will likely involve long hours of sitting in a car or plane. Prolonged inactivity during a long trip can cause a blood clot (thrombus) to form in a deep vein, usually in the legs, and less often in the arm or pelvic veins. This condition is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

A blood clot may not cause any symptoms at all. When present, symptoms of DVT include swelling, redness and pain or warmth in the affected leg. DVT is a potentially serious condition because the blood clot in the vein can break loose and travel (embolize) to the lungs, where it can cause a sudden blockage of a major blood vessel or its branches, a process called pulmonary embolism (PE).

If the clot is large enough to block blood flow to the lung, it can be fatal. Symptoms of a DVT should be brought to your doctor’s attention promptly. The signs of a pulmonary embolism include sudden shortness of breath, sharp chest pain that is worse upon coughing or taking a deep breath, dizziness or fainting, coughing up blood, and a sense of anxiety. These set of symptoms require immediate medical attention.

In addition to prolonged inactivity or bed rest, other risk factors of developing DVT include injury, surgery, inherited blood-clotting disorders, some forms of cancer, heart failure, obesity, smoking, pregnancy and birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy.

For all the above reasons, DVT prevention is strongly emphasized in hospitalized or bedridden patients. However, simple preventative steps during long trips can also help avert this hazard.

When driving for long distances, take breaks to walk around and do a few deep-knee bends. On long flights, try to walk up and down the aisle every hour. If that’s not possible, flex the lower calf muscles every 15 to 20 minutes by raising and lowering the heels and toes. Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, which can contribute to clot formation. Alcohol should be avoided, because it leads to fluid loss. Lastly, check with your physician about wearing compression stockings, which are often recommended for journeys longer than eight hours. Bon voyage and safe travels!

If the clot is large enough to block blood flow to the lung, it can be fatal.

Antiques bring old class to new rooms

By Sue Faulstich Current in Fishers Recently, I spent quite a bit of time searching for a dining room table and chairs for a young couple in the process of furnishing their first home. Because it was a project with a limited budget, I was very selective in presenting them with ideas for furniture and furnishings. This young couple had a modern, yet sophisticated, taste and a flair for the unconventional. They were interested in exploring what was available beyond that which tends to be found in retail stores.

In a casual conversation, I learned one of them had a collection of pieces of furniture she had inherited from a family member.

This furniture, I was told, had been put into storage without being considered for the new house.

“How would I incorporate any antique piece into my style?” she asked. I explained to her that anything not considered “traditional interior design” is wide open for interpretation and that the descriptions of certain styles can vary as much as the definition of the word antique. True traditional design is very easy to recognize and is filled with rules and regulations, while styles that are labeled with words like “transitional” or “eclectic” are more about mixing details and elements from many styles and eras. In a home that is a mix of old and new, it is possible to showcase the occasional antique or antique reproduction.

In this line of work, it is not uncommon to learn that one’s cli-

Current in Fishers

ents have hidden treasures in their possession, stored away and covered with dust. When I discover a jewel that can be mixed into the design for a client’s home, it makes me very happy.

These specific homeowners had a set of 10 carved French Renaissance hunting chairs circa 1880. We reupholstered the seats in apple green mohair and paired the chairs with a reproduction trestle table with a dark painted finish. These pieces, which some would consider visually heavy, fit right in with the existing dark wood floor and light colors used on the walls and window drapery fabric.

The use of antiques and reproductions in current interior design schemes could be an unexpected surprise that will set your home’s interior apart from your friends and neighbors. Don’t be afraid to explore your stored-away treasures and take advantage of the craftsmanship of the fine furniture makers and designers of the past.

My Fair Flora offers flower arrangements for any event or occasion, from weddings to “just because.”

“Pretty much everything we do is custom,” Leighty said. “People tell us what they like and who they’re getting it for, and we try to create something specifically for that person.”

In addition to simply providing the flowers for life’s events, My Fair Flora can also assist with design as a free courtesy to its customers.

“I’ve done a lot of weddings, so brides are always asking me ‘What would look good with this?’” Leighty said. “I’ll help brides as little or as much as they want me to.”

Leighty said there are big benefits to being independent from wire services, such as lower prices and the ability to create her own specials.

Watching TV is tough work these days COMMENTARY

By Dick Wolfsie Nowadays, all you get on television is sex, violence and car crashes – and that’s just the local news. It’s tough to get good ratings covering politics or petty theft. Unless, of course, you can snag a big star like Lindsay Lohan to shoplift her way through a Simon Mall during your 6 p.m. broadcast.

I had hundreds of viewing choices this past Monday night when I was searching for some mindless entertainment. One choice on Showtime was a miniseries titled “The Borgias,� about a family in 15th-century Rome. It’s like the Corleones in the “Godfather,� only the Borgias plot to become cardinals and popes instead of mobsters. Many of the reviewers have compared these two families who lived almost 400 years apart, and there were a few close-ups in the previews where some of the pasta dishes looked very similar.

I ended up watching the two-hour pilot for a new series, “The Killing,� on AMC. I knew I would regret this because it’s a 13-parter and anything with more than two or three parts has always frustrated me. “The Killing� is a classic whodunit, based on the Swedish model of crime drama. That genre, noted one critic, is where the mystery writer “allocates domestic and professional angst to subsidiary characters.� I have no idea what that means, but it already sounds to me like the maid did it.

I made the horrible mistake of going to some of the blogs where people have started guessing who the killer is. Fans were speculating on the meaning of the cigarette butt, the expired credit card, the victim’s boots, the father’s day job and the cop’s tattoo. I must have missed these clues, maybe because I was doing laundry, taking a nap, talking on my cell phone and doing a Sudoku puzzle.

It’s no longer enough to simply enjoy a TV show; you have to be interactively involved. On the AMC Web site you can download a photo of the victim’s room. You then click on any object to magnify it, so you can see if it might be a clue to the murder. I started nosing around this deceased girl’s bedroom, placing my cursor on her desk, her stuffed animals, her pillow, even on her diary. I felt so creepy at one point I started to wonder where I was the night of April 3.

I still have about 11 weeks to go to see who the culprit is in “The Killing.â€? I’m not sure I have the patience, so I may switch to “The Borgiasâ€? instead, since I already know who the evil ones are. Next week’s show, promises the promo, will be “wicked, witty, and compelling ‌ filled with violence, lust and intrigue.â€? That’s an offer I can’t refuse.

Basement remodel: Blending a play area with a ‘man cave’ COMMENTARY

By Larry Greene ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home, located in the Preserve at Eagle Creek, was built in 2006 as a builder’s spec home and left with a completely unfinished basement. The Preserve at Eagle Creek is a beautiful, upscale residential community located in the far northwest corner of Marion County, just a few miles south of Zionsville.

MOTIVATION FOR REMODELING: The homeowner moved to Indiana because of a job relocation and realized their new spec home was built with builder-grade materials. According to the homeowner, “The homes tend to look a lot alike after awhile. You feel like you’re looking for something to differentiate your home.” As soon as the family finally found a 4,500-squarefoot home they liked, they found out they were expecting twins! They realized it was time to finish their current unfinished basement, as they would definitely need the extra space.

DESIGN PHASE: The husband commented, “The designer did a wonderful job blending the style of the basement in with their existing home. I like the large open area the most. I can watch TV and play some pool while relaxing

www.youarecurrent.com

Before next to the built-in wet bar. The kids have their separate play area, and I have my man cave!”

The homeowner relied heavily on using 3D modeling to help them visualize the various design schemes that were presented.

FINAL RESULTS: The homeowner said, “We just couldn’t have been more pleased with our design choices and how our house has been transformed into a wonderful home for our recently expanded family.” Highlights include wide-plank prefinished hand-scraped engineered hardwood flooring throughout the basement and a custom designed wet bar. The bar features a glass tile backsplash, shaker style maple cabinets and brushed nickel cabinet pulls. The

After billiard/gaming area features built-in base cabinets with a granite countertop and adjustable shelving to display items. Finally, an in-ceiling projector system was installed along with a large screen for TV and movie viewing.

Behavior modification for itchy dogs CANINES

By John Mikesell Five things to do when your dog chews, licks or scratches: 1. Bring your dog to the veterinarian for a checkup. Nothing you do to address the dog’s behavior will be of much use if your dog itches as a result of environmental allergies or some other medical condition. If you treat the medical condition, the licking and chewing may stop. If not, it has also become a behavioral issue.

2. Identify your dog’s stressors. The behavioral cause of self-licking and chewing is stress. The stress from a medical condition may persist even after treatment, and learned licking/chewing behavior may persist even after medical stress is gone. Refer to the last column on stress for more ideas. Many other stressors can also cause licking and chewing, especially in dogs that are genetically predisposed to compulsive oral behaviors. Large breeds such as the Doberman pinscher, Great Dane, German shepherd, Labrador retriever, golden retriever, and Irish setter are most commonly affected.

3. Remove stressors from your dog’s life. There are several strategies you can use to remove stressors from you dog’s list: Get rid of it. Throw away the shock collar – in fact, avoid using aversive as much as possible. Treat medical conditions: Alleviate with chronic-pain medications, provide dental care and address anything else that might be physically troubling your dog. Live with it. We all live with some stress. Identify the most minimal stressors, and just let them be.

4. Increase your dog’s exercise. Aerobic exercise not only burns energy your dog would use to fret (and lick), but also

Pets of the week Ritchie is a two-year-old male white with black spots Dalmatian/Lab/Terrier mix. Ritchie is an energetic, fun-loving and playful boy. He enjoys playing with toys and romping around the yard, so he would love a home with a fenced in yard where he can run and play safely. Ritchie hasn’t had the opportunity to go through a formal training program, but he has learned a few basic commands and proven to be very intelligent during his stay at the humane society, so he will likely graduate at the top of his class when his new family takes him to obedience school.

Kali is a seven-year-old female black DLH. Kali is a very loving and sweet natured girl who is good with other cats. She arrived with her brother, Shadow and they are very bonded so they would love to be adopted together. Kali and Shadow both adore humans of all ages and they thrive on attention and want nothing more than to be a lap cat. They have been at the shelter for almost five months and they are hoping a loving family will decide to keep them together and are even willing to share the same cat bed.
