“I had severe tailbone pain, and failed to improve after seven other specialists’ consult. I am just amazed, I received pain relief from just one treatment at Advanced Interventional Pain Center!”.....James simpson.

“ 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.

“I had severe low back pain for seven long years and failed surgical treatments. I could not believe that I am pain free after just three treatments from Advanced Interventional Pain Center!”.....Roberta Marlott.

“I have had pain all my life as far as I can remember. I had failed back surgery and failed spinal cord stimulator. After just three treatments my back and leg pain have completely vanished!”..... Billy Hughes.

“I had thirty years of back pain, all vanished with just three treatments at Advanced Interventional Pain Center”.....Ladonna Bullock

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!

“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.

DT-LILT™ 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 had foot pain from a sports injury for 6 months which vanished with just one treatment at Advanced Interventional Pain Center!”.....John Linder

“ 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.

“ 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.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position Hamilton County residents, should be aware of the damage caused to trees by the use of the herbicide, Imprelis. The DuPont-manufactured product, was recently approved by the EPA to treat broadleaf weeds and has been widely used on lawns, athletic fields, cemeteries, golf courses and sod farms. Touted as “environmentally- friendly”, Imprelis seems to be unfriendly to Norway Spruces, Eastern White Pines, and other trees with shallow root systems. DuPont began receiving reports of dying trees around Memorial Day of this year.

Hamilton County has been hit hard hit by Imprelis usage. Visual symptoms of damage include browning, twisting and the curling of needles and leaves. The Indiana Chemist’s office has issued a stop- sale on Imprelis usage in Indiana and a recall is underway. Dupont has set up a hotline, 866-796-4783 to report damage. For more information about Imprelis, visit www.imprelis-facts.com/faqs/. DuPont also initiated a product return and refund program in mid-August. Trees seem to be under siege in Indiana— drought, the Emerald Ash borer, and now Imprelis. Trees add so much to our environment, whether it’s aesthetics or economics or environmentallysafe, it behooves us to pay attention to their survival and care.

School buses

It is our position school buses must strictly adhere to posted speed limits. Far too often we see the familiar yellow vehicles careening through neighborhoods at excessive speeds, as measured by both the law and reasonable standards of safety.

Even in school zones, the buses are frequently the primary violators of the speed limits.

School bus safety concerns increase as daylight slips away making morning routes take place before the sun rises. Young children hurrying to the bus stop might not be seen as easily, and there is less time to react if there is an obstacle in the way.

We understand the bus drivers are on a tight schedule to gather their riders and get them to school on time. Traffic concerns and lagging children may cause even more delays. If these are the sole reasons for their excessive speed, then either more time has to be built into the schedules or the schools must make provisions for an occasional late bus. But we cannot allow the safety of our children – both on foot and already on board – and our fellow commuters to be jeopardized by bus drivers who ignore the rules.

Slightly older, mostly just sleepier

FROM THE BACKSHOP Booth and Bucher will be missed It was significant in that no one in town government made a big deal about this.

When two cornerstones of Fishers’ financial growth call it a day from their positions, it is at once surprising and thought-provoking.

Mike Booth and Wes Bucher, stalwarts in the town’s economic development, quietly backed away from public service last month, ostensibly to spend more time with family.

Maybe it wasn’t made into a big deal, because everyone had grown accustomed to the duo’s nose-to-the-grindstone ethic. Maybe that’s the way they preferred it go. And so Booth, the economic development director, and Bucher, the director of the Department of Development have retired. Many of us like to say about the extra-accomplished, “They cannot be replaced.” That remains to be seen in this case, but their achievements on behalf of the community can be seen all across the landscape. Theirs was a job well done, and we salute them for their contributions to making this a far better town than that which they found.

The list may be better unchecked COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker What was the best year of “Saturday Night Live?” Over its three-decade run, this late-night comedy television show has become a cultural touchstone with each ensuing group claiming memorable catchphrases and skits at the heart of a shared self-definition.

Such as the question of whether “The Tonight Show” belongs to Carson or Leno, these public figures have framed our shared community.

Ultimately these common memories are devices used to enhance communication with our peers. Recently, I made reference to a Dana Carvey moment on “SNL.” Carvey’s character, upon his death, found the gate to heaven with the angel of God. Similar to a fine hotel’s busboy, the angel outlined each of the amenities one could expect as a new resident of heaven.

“The buffet is open 24 hours. The pool is always warm and filled with beautiful girls. Moreover, in heaven we have omnipotence – the answer to

the unanswered questions of human life.”

Since that day years ago, I have maintained a list of questions to ask, should I be so lucky as to find myself similarly disposed. Was there a second shooter? Are ghosts real? Who stole my favorite shirt in college?

What is the most disturbing thing I’ve ever eaten without my knowledge? I wonder if it is better not to know. But then again, how could the afterlife be complete without knowing the secret ingredient of the seven herbs and spices? Do we all keep lists of things for which we seek answers? And if we do, do we really expect those questions to ever find resolution?

Or is our interest only a part of our natural curiosity as humans? Could it be the pursuit of responses is more important than the answers?

Could it be the pursuit of responses is more important than the answers?

Blurring the lines of nanny and mom COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson I finally appreciate why rich people have nannies and man-servants. My mom was in town during the weekend, and it was magical. We are currently in negotiations to retain her services as a full-time au pair, and it’s not going well.

She has visited us before, but this is the first time she has visited when my kids are in school, sports and theater. Plus Doo and I are going gray by the minute over work-related issues.

Technically, red heads do not “go gray,” but “white,” like Santa Claus and Queen Elizabeth I. Gingers may be mutants, but we’re royal mutants.

Mom arrived at the house on Friday before the school bus, which meant my children were not latch-key orphans for once. And when I called a bit later to check in, she asked what I needed from the grocery. No one has ever asked me that question. Confounded, I mumbled something like “List … frig … flarjkwee.”

After literally crashing my minivan into the side of the garage and walking in the door, the contents of my grocery list were miraculously sitting on the counter. I’m not kidding about the car, but that’ll be in my next article, titled “You Might Be Going Senile If ”

This nanny thing was turning out great. She bought us Chinese take-out and did 23 loads of laundry; she took the kids to an early morning soccer game so Doo and I could sleep. She made (fighting back tears, here) the (sniffle, gulp) beds (full-blown weeping).

I think the best part about having a Mama Poppins comes down to simple math. We had three adults instead of two managing four kids.

Doo spent the entirety of Saturday rebuilding something involving computers, which normally would have driven me straight to black widow mode; however, everything was cool because my mom was there to play dodgeball and jump-stick with the kids while I caught up on neglected domestic tasks. No Child Left Behind, see?

So I totally get why the wealthy hire nannies.

And now I want one too. Guilt wreaks havoc with the consciences of working parents, and nannies quiet the crazy. Now, if I can only convince Mom this is the life for her! Peace out.

Fishers Fire, Community Health partner to reduce senior falls

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Fire Dept. released data last month indicating that falls – many of them by senior citizens – are second only to injuries from motor vehicle accidents in emergency medical incidents handled by the department.

To address this, the FFD and Community Health Network have announced a joint campaign to reduce falls in the Fishers area by 35 percent over the next two years.

“Records show that 741 injuries in a two-year period occurred as a result of falls, and 623 of those injured required hospitalization,” said Steve Davison, emergency medical services division chief for the FFD. “Many of those injured are senior citizens, so we decided to develop a comprehensive plan to help seniors avoid hospitalization and live comfortably and safely in their own homes.”

That comprehensive plan will include a fall risk assessment, medication review, vision check and home safety assessment.

Of the 741 falls recorded, more than 400 were people over the age of 50, and the largest number of falls occurred in the 81-90 age group, which experienced 131 falls. In addition to the fall prevention program, the FFD will conduct a follow-up evaluation for every person who is 60 years or older and has a history of falls.

A number of common conditions in older adults can increase the risk of falls, among them: heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, vision problems such as glaucoma and medications, including anti-anxiety and heart medication.

The National Center for Patient Safety recommends a fall prevention intervention in cases where one or more of the following factors are present: agitation/delirium, psychotropic medications, orthostatic hypotension, frequent toileting, impaired mobility, impaired vision, loss of balance, antidepressants or antihypertensives.

More information about fall prevention can be found online at http://www.patientsafety.gov.

County autism support group gets new name, mission

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Last Saturday, the Hamilton County Autism Support Group changed its name, and its mission.

The organization’s new name is the Indiana Autism Scholarship Foundation.

Its new mission is to provide scholarship funding for employment, vocational and college assistance to individuals ages 15 and above with autism.

Formed in 2006, the organization was originally founded to provide a supportive atmosphere for families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. That support function will continue as the Central Indiana Autism Support Group, presented

by Noble of Indiana, formed in 1953 to serve individuals with developmental disabilities.

“There is much excitement about our new direction and focus on older young adults and adults with autism,” said Jane Grimes, president and founder of the organization, in a written release. “This is an age group that has been underutilized and without much support for so long.”

According to Scott Fogo, director of autism and medical rehab services at

Indianapolis-based Easter Seals Crossroads, an organization providing disability services and care for families with special needs, transitions – such as those from high school to college or a career – can be a particularly difficult for those affected by autism.

“Whether facing the impact of work and independent living, or continuing in their educational pursuits, young adults with autism need increased support,” Fogo said. “Service providers are strug­gling to meet those needs since the demand is often greater than the funding for these services.”

Fogo said he hopes the work of the Indiana Autism Scholarship Foundation will assist those facing the challenge of transition.

“The key is working with teenagers early, partnering with those who provide the needed services and continuing to support those on the autism spectrum throughout the transitions of life,” he said.

A child’s lesson in volunteering COMMENTARY

By Joan Isaac With orders in hand and Auggie mad at me, we drove to the Fishers YMCA. Forty CNO employees waited for us. I thanked them for volunteering and told them they were one of just 1,700 volunteers tackling 75 projects at 10 schools and 45 nonprofit agencies throughout Central Indiana.

Auggie tapped on my shoulder and asked, “Mom, are all of these people here to volunteer?” I responded, “Yes, they are not getting paid for it and neither are you.” Laughter erupted.

After I spoke, YMCA Membership Director David Clark rattled off some stats that surprised everyone. The Fishers YMCA is the largest in the state with more than 23,000 members. They have a sliding fee scale.This past summer one out of every four kids participating in youth and summer programs offered through the Fishers YMCA received some sort of financial assistance or scholarship. Last year, Fishers YMCA awarded more than $450,000 in financial aid to members.

Auggie asked, “Mom does he mean there are kids I went to camp with whose parents couldn’t afford to pay?” I told Auggie yes and I’d explain in more detail after we got our assignments.

Our first project was to scrub the indoor pools Auggie had spent the summer swimming in. Auggie was in awe at the size of the empty pool and thrilled about the assignment. He spent the next four hours cleaning, scrubbing and questioning me about kids

who are less fortunate and how my job at United Way helps people in need.

To thank the volunteers, the YMCA gave everyone, including Auggie, a pass for one free visit for the entire family. When we got home I was so happy and had such a sense of pride. I was so proud of Auggie for volunteering, so touched with his thoughtful questions and so happy for our quality time together.

My proud mom moment was short lived when I found out Auggie made his brother, Sidney, pay him $5 to accompany him as his guest to the Fishers YMCA. As furious as I was at Auggie, I had to chuckle. He knew I wasn’t going to pay him and he found a way to get paid by his brother.

Volunteers play a vital role in United Way’s ability to effectively address today’s needs while also reducing tomorrow’s. I have never regretted volunteering, and you never know what sort of memories you may create.

If you’ve ever wanted to volunteer and you don’t know how to get started, please visit United Way’s Volunteer Center at www.uwci.org/volunteer. You’ll find a complete listing of opportunities. Or, you can complete the personal profile to receive notifications when opportunities matching your interests are available.

Two town leaders announce retirement GUEST COMMENTARY

By Dan Canan On Wednesday, September 14, 2011 two individuals, that have provided significant leadership for our community, announced their retirements.

Mike Booth, Economic Development Director, announced that he will retire “to spend more time with his family and friends”. During his tenure with the town, Mike has led Fishers through a period of unprecedented growth both as Director of Economic Development and Town Manager. Mike’s leadership leaves a lasting legacy that is greatly appreciated by our community and the Fishers Chamber.

Wes Bucher, Department of Development Director, is retiring after leading development in “Indiana’s fastest growing community for nearly 20 years”. In announcing his retirement,

Wes states, “During my career in Fishers, I have worked with thousands of people including citizens, homeowners, business owners, builders, civic clubs, homeowners associations, developers, realtors, boards and commissions, just people that care about the community in which they live or do business. I have always attempted to bring a friendly, fair and common sense approach to the job, and treat others as I would like government to serve me”.

On behalf of the Fishers Chamber Board of Directors and Staff, we would like to recognize and thank Mike and Wes for their loyal service to our great community. It is easy to take for granted all of the benefits Fishers provides, but this did not happen by accident. We should all thank Mike Booth and Wes Bucher for their dedication and integrity.

Age, a language barrier and 4,500 miles prove no obstacles for Katie Zimmerman’s Project Discovery

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Katie Zimmerman lives her life across two hemispheres.

For six months of the year, the 24-year-old Fishers native lives and works in the U.S., dedicating herself to fundraising for Project Discovery, a before and after school program Zimmerman started for at-risk children in Brazil. For the other six months, Zimmerman spends her time in Imbau, Brazil, where she and other Project Discovery members work with 100 Brazilian children on everything from improving their academic and English skills to learning Capoeira, a Brazilian martial arts form.

Zimmerman left for her seventh trip to Brazil in June, and will stay until December. She talked to Current from Brazil about her experience abroad so far.

Answering a need

Zimmerman’s first taste of Brazil came during a 10-day mission trip sponsored by her parish, St. Louis de Montfort.

“From my very first trip, I felt a connection with the people and a tugging to return,” Zimmerman said.

She returned the following two summers with the Sisters of the Holy Cross to assist with poor relief. She said she began to see a need for supplemental education programs for the children of Imbau. A University of Dayton graduate with a degree in education, Zimmerman said she felt up to the task.

“I encountered so many curious children interested in learning,” Zimmerman said. “They simply lacked resources and opportunities. I found myself building relationships with kids who had so much potential; however, they were missing self-confidence and guidance.”

Despite the geographical and linguistic hurdles – Portuguese is the main language of Brazil, and Zimmerman didn’t speak it – she decided to start Project Discovery.

“It would have been a lot easier to do in the U.S.,” she said, “But I saw the needs here so I tried to do the best I could. I guess I didn’t choose the location. I think the location chose me.”

Zimmerman spent the year before her first six-month trip studying Portuguese and fundraising – nearly $17,000 for the initial outlay of the program. Part of those funds came from a Brazilian ministry fund supported by tithes from Zimmerman’s church, and much of it was supplied by Zimmerman herself.

“I think we’ve done just about everything that’s legal under the sun to raise money,” she said. “We’ve had babysitting nights, we’ve done bowling nights, we’ve sold cookie dough. I also give a lot of talks about the program, and during those many people donate. The bulk of it comes from the generosity of people who have heard about the project.”

Still, during her six months in the U.S., Zimmerman said fundraising occupies some or all of nearly every day.

“It’s a little bit emotionally and financially exhausting to spend six months fundraising and saving money in the states, and then spend six months and all of the money you’ve raised on the program down in Brazil,” she said.

Like brothers and sisters

Although Project Discovery was established initially as an educational program, Zimmerman said it has grown to fill myriad roles.

“I feel like these are my kids – my daughters, my sons, my brothers and sisters,” Zimmerman said. “We’ve really gotten to

work a lot with the family of these kids, which I think is unique.

We try to fulfill any role which these kids are lacking, which unfortunately for a lot of them is a lot of things.”

Zimmerman was able to get Project Discovery affiliated with a social program sponsored by the Brazilian government, which now provides additional teachers and aids in selecting families to be enrolled in the program.

“They pick the poorest of the poor, but also the ones with the most problems in their family,” Zimmerman said. “We get the ones who would have been put in a foster care system, but they don’t have that here. They just have an orphanage.”

These children range from six to 16 years old. Several have been sexually or physically abused; some have had past addictions to drugs; a few are orphans; and all come from extremely impoverished situations.

Aside from academic and English instruction, Project Discovery offers these students dance and Capoeira classes, field trips (many children in Imbau have never left their home town, according to Zimmerman), community outreach, and programs designed to expose students to technology. In particular, Zimmerman said photography classes have had a big effect on students.

“I have seen the shyest boys and girls come alive behind the camera lens,” she said. “I have also witnessed my most behaviorally-disturbed student fall in love with photography. Watching him explore different subjects, angles and colors were some of the only

Zimmerman recalled a student who had a particularly strong impact on her, a 13-year-old boy named Ronaldo. Ronaldo came from a home with an abusive, alcoholic father, and a brother who was in jail. Zimmerman introduced him to Capoeira, which he eventually earned a scholarship for.

“He frequently resembled a kid in a candy store, constantly taking everything around him in and enjoying every moment,” Zimmerman said. “Being his confirmation sponsor, watching him receive his first belt in a Capoeira ceremony, sitting next to him during his first time being in a professional soccer stadium watching a professional soccer game, and telling him that he would be the recipient of a scholarship to a private English school are all moments that not only will I keep close to my heart, but I often pull them out during days of sadness or self-doubt to keep me motivated and inspired.”

Editor’s note: An extended version of Ronaldo’s story is available online at www.currentinfishers.com.

Passing the torch

This year, Zimmerman is joined by two friends from Fishers, Lee Ann Zatkaulak & Megan Cress. Although all three are relatively young, Zimmerman said it hasn’t been a hindrance.

“I don’t ever think about my age,” Zimmerman said. “In fact, I think it’s really one of the only times you can do it. I think about how hard it would be to learn a new language or leave the United States for an extended period when you were married and had a family.”

For the remainder of her trip this year, Zimmerman said her biggest hope is to begin preparing the Brazilians to take over the project for themselves.

“We are really, really working with the teachers the government has put in the program to organize them and develop lesson plans,” Zimmerman said. “They really didn’t have classes. They were more of glorified babysitters. We’re trying to assist their ideas – with them planning trips, them contacting the government for things they need. My biggest goal is to get them ready to do this program all on their own.”

Makes me want to lie down and die GRAMMAR GURU

By Brandie Bohney Have you ever heard people say things are so bad that they just want to lay down and die?

That phrase makes me want to ask what those other people feel when they need to put down before their untimely end.

Lay and lie give so many people problems, it’s nearly ludicrous. I’m not talking about lying as in telling someone something you know isn’t true or lie as in a false statement. Rather, I’m referring to lay and lie as verbs meaning to prostrate oneself or to put something down.

Here’s the thing: lay and lie are different words. But the past tense of lie is lay, which is tremendously confusing. So I get it when people mess it up. I don’t excuse it, but I get it.

Lie does not take an object: • I’m going to lie down.

• I lay down yesterday.

• I have lain here for hours.

Lay, on the other hand, always takes an object: • Please lay the papers on the desk.

• He laid the papers there yesterday.

• He has laid papers there every day for a year.

For many people, the past tense of lie is counterintuitive. It took me about a year of thinking about it before I spoke or wrote to consistently get it correct. And I still second-guess myself once in a while. The truth is, so many people use lay in place of lie that the correct use sounds wrong to most people. Does that make it okay

to make the mistake? No Understandable? Yes. But still not acceptable.

When you’re writing, grammar-check will often flag the incorrect usage, but when you’re speaking, you don’t have that option. Instead, it’s wise to make a concerted effort to retrain your brain to hear the correct version as natural instead of foreign.

Then, your grammar won’t make anyone want to lie down and die.

Beer yeast can’t digest lactose, or milk sugar, so it remains unfermented in milk stouts like this one, giving it a sweet, Hersheybar tang, like the milky dregs of chocolate cereal.

» Holiday travel more expensive – Flying over the holidays is going to cost more this year. And the longer you wait to book, the pricier it’s likely to get. The average domestic airfare for the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas is $383, 4 percent higher than last year, according to Expedia. As airlines fly fewer routes and planes to cut costs, there are fewer seats available. Flights are fuller than ever, and airlines can charge more.

Growing with Fishers and Nearby Communities St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast has been serving the Town of Fishers and its surrounding communities since 2008. With each passing year, more and more people in our rapidly growing community depend on us for care. In 2010 alone, we served more than 40,000 community members with our outpatient services. In this rapidly developing community and increased volumes in our facility we are excited to announce our expansion in services.

In 2013, St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast will become St.Vincent Fishers Hospital — a full-service hospital with an additional 40 inpatient beds among other amenities. Which means we can continue to serve Fishers’ growing healthcare needs with state-of-the-art facilities, additional services and added convenience for our patients.

With this growth, we’ll also become a gateway for the Fishers Medical Technology Corridor — an initiative developed by the Fishers Department of Development. 1,132 acres will be set aside for a medical,

technology, research and educational corridor aimed at enhancing career opportunities and supporting collaboration among industries.

Our expansion at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast is scheduled to begin in October 2011 and completed in February 2013. It will be the start of an exciting time not just for us, but also the entire community.

We look forward to growing with you.

Yours in The Spirit of Caring,

St.Vincent Fishers Hospital Growing services. Growing space. Growing spirit.

For a successful healthcare organization, outgrowing its workspace is inevitable. And St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast has been growing right along with Fishers and the surrounding community since 2008.

To continue meeting the increasing healthcare needs of our current and future patients, St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast will expand to become St.Vincent Fishers Hospital — a full-service hospital and the gateway to the upcoming Fishers Medical Technology Corridor.

“The goal isn’t just to deliver better care.

It’s to deliver the best care by using resources more efficiently. And becoming LEED certified ensures that we’re sustainable for Fishers in the future.”

— KIm NeALON — Administrator St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast

Fulfilling our role as a full-service hospital in Fishers means we must be able to provide new and innovative services to our patients and visitors. So as our facility expands, so too must our staff. As we become St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, we’ll hire approximately 200 new associates. Which means we’ll not only be welcoming new members to the St.Vincent family, but also providing new job opportunities to the community.

When the hospital expansion is complete in February 2013, St.Vincent Fishers Hospital will include the latest healthcare amenities and innovations available.

They include:

as comfortable for families and guests as it is for our patients. At St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, we’ll move away from the traditional concept of large, communal waiting rooms. Instead, alcoves with natural light and plush furnishings will invite visitors and families to congregate comfortably, privately and closer to loved ones.

A Focus On Wellness and Productivity While healing will always be a focus for us, St.Vincent Fishers Hospital will place great emphasis on wellness and prevention, with a proactive approach to personal health and productivity. This means encouraging wellness not just among our patients, but also among our staff with amenities such as a fitness center. Indoor and outdoor dining areas will also be available, offering healthy food choices to both associates and visitors.

The future of St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast was inspired by the future of Fishers. It’s why we’ve chosen to build the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified hospital in Indiana. It means St.Vincent Fishers Hospital will

40 Inpatient Beds St.Vincent Fishers Hospital will be a full-service hospital with extended inpatient services. The 40-bed capacity at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital will include rooms for 30 surgical or medical beds and 10 observation beds. But these rooms are far from ordinary. To ensure that every room is designed for peak operational efficiency, designers sought the advice of our physicians and nurses to create spaces designed to provide efficient care for patients, allowing them to spend more time with each patient.

Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum in One Room With 10 labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum beds, patients can remain in the same room until it’s time to return home. These beautiful and versatile rooms transition seamlessly from labor to recovery, allowing mother and baby to remain together throughout their stay. Rooms will be designed with stylish décor and include amenities like Wi-Fi, 24-hour room service and a full-size bed for dad.

Intimate Gathering Spaces for Visitors We think visits from friends and loved ones are an important part of the healing process for our patients. And it’s why we want our hospital to be Comfortable and bright waiting rooms.

Beautiful and versatile labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum rooms.

be built for efficiency, sustainability and low impact on the environment. We’ll be evaluated according to a strict set of LEED criteria, including energy savings, water efficiency, reduced CO2 emissions, improved indoor environmental quality and efficient resource management.

Keeping the future of Fishers and its surrounding communities bright is what matters most. Whether it’s by becoming a gateway for the Town of Fishers’ Medical Technology Corridor, nurturing our ongoing relationship with the local fire department for events like Safety Day, or simply being more conscious of our environmental impact, we’ll always serve our neighbors in The Spirit of Caring.

If you make a paste from lemon juice and salt, you can use this as whitening gel. This can be rubbed on the teeth to slowly wear down the dull color. To make your teeth shinier, you can rub your teeth with the inner white part of an orange peel. This gives discolored teeth a bright shine. This is good to use in combination with other home-whitening products.

Tough Mudder challenges body, mind Commentary

By April Conard Having just honored the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I still feel helpless sometimes and it makes me want to do something. I know many of you feel the same way. Although we can’t go back 10 years and undo what happened, we can help what is happening now.

How about using your favorite pastime to help a worthy cause? Ever heard of something called Tough Mudder? Tough Mudder is not your average run. The 10-mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. The real honor comes from knowing you are raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project. Tough Mudder participants have raised more than $2 million for wounded soldiers. The funds will help support thousands of warriors from the battlefield to the bedside.

The Tough Mudder series was created to have an American fitness event to test toughness, stamina and mental grit all in one place and all in one day. This is also about experiencing a true sense of camaraderie rarely seen outside of the military. To get over some of the obstacles you will need the help of others – they are simply too much for one man to tackle alone. Tough Mudders are team players, they help each other out and make sure no man is left behind; they do not care about their finish time.

There will be a Tough Mudder run in Indiana Nov. 19. Not sure you are ready to crawl through the mud or scale walls? Well, Noblesville Athletic Club is willing to help with your training. One of our fitness instructors, Leah, is putting together a team to train for the race. If you would like to join the Crazy Crusaders team you can do so at www. toughmudder.com under registration.

To find out more information on the run or training, contact Leah at www.nacfitness.com.

Regardless of your political views, supporting our troops is something we should all do; considering what our soldiers do for us day in and day out. So get ready for the mud and when the run gets to hard, think of the challenges the injured soldiers are facing and then look at that wall and say, “bring it on!”

» Do you have less energy? – If so, you may need some more vitamin B12. This nutrient helps regulate your metabolism and energy production and is key to maintaining a healthy brain and nervous system. Chewing a lot of antacids to relieve heartburn can also lead to B12 deficiency, because antacids interfere with B12 absorption. Food fix: Have two servings of nonfat dairy foods and 3 to 4 ounces of lean protein daily. Good sources of B12 include seafood such as fish, clams, oysters, and mussels, as well as lean beef and pork, chicken, and fortified cereal.

Five ways to spoil a meeting COMMENTARY

By David Cain Nothing blows the potential to have a great meeting like the following five things. Meetings, meetings, meetings, so much time, so much potential, so often wasted. Avoid these top five spoilers and enjoy better get-togethers with happier attendees.

Start late. “Hey, sorry I’m late, let me just grab some coffee and hit the restroom and I’ll be right there.” That’s nice, show up a few minutes late and then take your time getting started.

Everyone loves it when people impose their own life on you. If you want to start your meeting at 9:15, set it for 9:15.

Be unprepared. No forethought or advance preparation is the rain on your meeting day.

Whether you were invited to the meeting or originated it, you should always be prepared.

Nothing looks more amateur than showing up to a meeting with nothing but a pen and paper eager to learn. Be prepared and lead the way to better outcomes.

Interrupt. After all, everyone showed up to hear you talk. Just keep blurting out anything that runs through the scrolling LED in your head and you’ll look like a star. It’s expected to have ideas, but consider listening more than you talk.

Go freestyle. Agenda-free meetings with no real thought to what you want to accomplish

are great spoilers. Just get in a room, start with small talk and see where it goes. Want to kickstart your effectiveness? Go into every meeting and start with a list of what the group will accomplish in that meeting and how much time you all agree to commit. Go around the room and ask, “What do you want to accomplish to make this meeting a great use of your time?”

Everyone agrees and everyone is working toward the same goals.

Run over. Well, you started late, why not run over on time too? It just makes good sense.

Want to be sure you run over? Invite too many people. And, use every bit of time allotted even if you finish early is just as annoying. It’s okay to get things done faster.

Business requires meetings. For that matter, all aspects of life require discussions of some sort, so why not work to make all that time more productive and effective? If you do, you’ll eventually eliminate meetings. If you are always prepared and know everyone’s goals for the encounter, you’ll find some of the meetings just go away.

“We’re celebrating and giving back to our customers,” she said.

The event also provides an occasion to introduce the “virtual orchestra” to the general public who may not be aware of its opportunities.

“When you sit down to play you have a complete orchestra at your fingertips,” Lambert said.

Lambert’s is currently offering a special where they will put the instrument in your home for eight weeks for $29.95. The cost includes eight weeks of classes and two one-on-one sessions.

“We want to introduce the virtual orchestra to the community because people have this feeling they can’t learn to play a musical instrument,” said Lambert. “This is one of the easiest instruments to learn to play. In the first five minutes they will learn to play a song. We are teaching people to play songs not notes and scales.”

By Sue Faulstich Curled up watching your favorite movie or sitting with a group of friends in a formal living room, chances are you are seated on a piece of upholstered furniture. You should consider four aspects of upholstered furniture when choosing the right piece for you.

The frame

Common to every piece of furniture is its frame. Buried beneath the cushions and covering, the frame is out of sight but should never be out of mind. The quality of a furniture frame is determined by such factors as material and workmanship. If a sofa has a frame made of kiln-dried hardwood, it will be more expensive than a sofa with a frame made of plywood. This is one reason why two sofas can appear identical, but priced drastically different.

How do I into words the endless possibilities available to upholstered furniture buyers; a designer could write a novel on the subject of furniture covering.

The support

Most consumers buy furniture with longevity in mind. The longevity of a piece of upholstered furniture is based on how the system of support will hold up over time. Furniture manufacturers will use a number of different materials to provide the support needed inside a piece of upholstered furniture. Fabric straps and wood slats are common. Spring supports are the most popular and tend to be the best type of support for upholstery.

The cushion

Together with the support system, cushion construction will determine the overall comfort of a piece of furniture. A basic

The covering

How do I begin to put into words the endless possibilities available to upholstered furniture buyers; a designer could write a novel on the subject of furniture covering. The cast of characters would include fabrics made of natural fibers such as cotton and wool blending with manmade fibers including nylon and olefin.

Leather and suede would have rich story lines filled with constant comparisons to their synthetic counterparts. Fabric selection will make the first impression, but every professional designer knows what is underneath is just as important as the covering on a beautiful piece of upholstered furniture.

Covered porch creates new outdoor living space COMMENTARY

By Larry Greene Original home: The seven-year-old home is located in the Centennial Subdivision in Westfield. The current homeowners have lived there for five years.

Motivation for creating a new outdoor living space: According to the homeowner, “I had a back porch as I was growing up. Plus, I have lost three tables and an umbrella in the last five years from the wind.”

Porch details: The new porch is supported with concrete piers which extend below the frost line. The new patio surface is brushed concrete with an arched step extending from the patio door and an area for grilling. The new porch finishes include painted cedar posts and wrapped beams. The porch is trimmed with cedar to match the new column trim. The beadboard porch ceiling is vaulted throughout to create a more open feeling. Finally, a new ceiling fan was installed from the center ridge beam.

Favorite features: The homeowner commented, “I work from home and it is so nice to go outside during the day and not bake from

www.youarecurrent.com

Before the sun. Our family can actually talk and relax in the new porch now. We have used it a lot already and it’s only been a few weeks since completion.” According to the homeowners, “We are planning on having our neighbors over soon to show off our new porch. They have all been watching with envy as the project progressed.”

Resolving a values dispute RELATIONSHIPS

By Doug Jeschke One of the difficult things about being a professional mediator is people expect me to resolve their disputes, immediately. Although I am confident I am a competent mediator, immediate resolution is not the way mediation works.

For example, I was meeting with a couple I was writing a will for. They disagreed about the age their children should receive final disbursements from the family trust. I have guided people through this decision numerous times.

There are basically two schools of thought: Get the kids through school, then trust they have been raised well enough to handle a significant amount of money. Or, recognizing most college graduates have not fully matured, hold off disbursement until the child has incentive to start a career and make his or her own way.

In my opinion, there is no right or wrong to this decision. It is simply a matter of values.

This couple was divided over what they thought would be best. So of course, knowing I was a mediator, they turned to me.

A question of values is hard to find an answer stemming from compromise. If my clients agreed to set disbursements at an intermediate age, it wouldn’t give a responsible child control of his funds, nor would it dissuade a child inclined to slack off until his inheritance comes through.

So instead of coming to a middle ground in positions, value differences often have to be handled more delicately. This is how I try to help people who are in a values dispute: Make sure you both understand the value being defended by the other person. There is a reason for the position they are taking, and reason is respectable.

Consider alternatives that would satisfy both of the values being fought for. Once the parties separate themselves from their positions, both can get on the same side of the problem and try to find a solution satisfying the two competing values.

Finally, if no acceptable alternative can be found, look outside of the immediate problem, and see if the values at play can be supported in another area of life.

In the example of my will couple, they chose to make an earlier distribution. But they also chose a trustee and guardian for their children in whom they were confident their children would have the best chance of learning the responsibility and independence they both desired for their kids.

Breaking bad COMMENTARY

By Dick Wolfsie My family has been attending a new place of worship on Sunday mornings, and we think we have found the perfect spot. The Unitarian minister is engaging. The congregation is warm and welcoming. Even the coffee is good after the service. In fact, I wouldn’t fix a thing.

More to the point, I can’t fix a thing, yet that’s exactly what they asked me to do. Last week, there was a sign-up sheet posted for some terrific social networking opportunities, like movie nights and a pitch-in dinner. My wife and I wanted to be involved in several of these activities, but while jotting down our names on a sheet, I noticed a man in a beige sweater motioning me over to his table. He was inquiring about who had certain skills to assist in some projects to spiff up the church grounds.

“Say, Dick, can you help us replace some broken windows?”

“Sorry, I don’t have a clue how to do that.”

“Any experience with electricity?”

“Bulbs. I can change bulbs.”

“How about plumbing? Can you assist with that?”

“I don’t have a prayer.”

I had to be careful. I used to belong to a temple back in New York. Jewish people have a blessing for everything and I didn’t want to find out that I did have a prayer for plumbing.

“How about just cleaning?” he asked.

My wife was on my side with this one. “He doesn’t even know how to do that at home,” she volunteered. Mary Ellen loves to volunteer.

What a trouper.

I know that the Lord works in mysterious ways. But why did he have to make repairing things such a mystery to me? Growing up, everyone in my family was more adept at this kind of stuff. My father, for example, could fix anything. He’d go downstairs to his workshop with the broken cuckoo clock or an electric can opener on the fritz and an hour later emerge from the basement to flaunt his success. How about some credit for me? Where would Dad

have gotten his glory if I hadn’t busted this stuff to begin with?

My mother was also skillful at repairing things.

After all, she fixed dinner every night for 30 years.

I had a sleazy uncle who coached football and bet on his own games. He fixed most of them. My brother was always in some kind of a fix. And my sister? Well, she spent most of her free time fixing up her unattractive friends. Even our dogs were fixed. Fixing is in the Wolfsie blood. The problem is I don’t have the patience to address repair issues and then I get very down on myself. My blood must be Type A… and negative.

I used to have a great handyman. He installed our ceiling fan, rescreened the porch and patched up the leak in our roof. He charged $50.00 an hour “…unless you help me,” he’d say, “then it’s $65.00.” Now that he’s gone, my wife’s favorite expression is, “You need to call somebody.” So I call the plumber, the electrician, the roofer, the computer repairman. I can’t fix anything. That’s why I’m broke.
