A Different kind of race Russell Cameron has moved on from a successful career in racing but hopes to take the wheel as Westfield’s next mayor.

By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield Russell Cameron has gotten back into racing. This time, however, the race is not on a NASCAR, IRL or CART track. It’s the race for mayor of Westfield.

Many residents have heard of Cameron’s very early announcement that he will run for mayor of Westfield in 2011, and many know him as a former commissioner on Westfield’s Advisory Plan Commission. Of those who know of his previous position with the APC, many recall that his were the sole votes against moving forward with the Grand Junction plan and the Family Sports Capital of America. But there’s much more to know about him.

Currently, Cameron is a stay-at-home parent to his two children, ages four and six. His wife, Mollianne, owns and operates two downtown Westfield businesses: Stitches & Scones and Crafty Capers, both on North Union Street. Prior to choosing to stay home with his kids full time, Cameron was involved heavily in auto racing, first briefly in NASCAR, then CART, and finally briefly with IRL. He laughs, however, when addressing the rumor of his having once been a race car driver. He said he raced in Arizona as a teenager but most of his work in racing was off the track.

“During my tenure (in CART), I moved from being a me-

Cameron on the Family Sports Capital of America Russell Cameron was the only member of the APC to vote against the Family Sports Capital of America initiative, but he stressed that he isn’t “anti sports.” He said there was simply too much information missing when the Family Sports Capital commission deemed the project feasible.

“They didn’t know where it was going to go; they didn’t know how many fields. They didn’t know who was going to pay for it,” Cameron said. “They didn’t know a lot of things about it. So in my mind, I couldn’t understand what ‘feasible’ meant.”

"I want to make sure the community...has a bright and sustainable future."

chanic all the way to a team owner, and in between I was Rookie Chief Mechanic of the Year in 1995,” Cameron said. “From that point forward, I became a team manager, then a general manager, and then I was vice president of operations for a team.”

As VP of operations, Cameron said he managed more than 100 employees with an operating budget of more than $200 million.

With that experience, he said he’s no stranger to “running large groups of people with multi-faceted abilities toward a common goal.” That skill in particular, he said, would be of great use to him as mayor.

Like any other business, Cameron was forced to adapt to the fluctuating economy while working to keep his teams operating and competitive. When CART’s chief competitor IRL began gaining a greater share of sponsorship dollars in the early 2000s, CART’s future was bleak, but Cameron was still experiencing success. During the final years of CART, he said he became very skilled at eliminating inefficiencies from team budgets and making tough decisions. Those skills, he said, would serve him well as mayor.

“When budgets became squeezed because of lack of sponsor-

ships and revenue, we faced the same challenges anyone would face,” he said. “We had to downsize and trim some of our in-house capabilities … You had to pick and choose which resources you really needed to continue and stay as competitive as possible.”

Cameron drew back from his career in racing in 2005, trading the stress and constant travel of the job for one that pays less but has greater rewards: raising his children. After being on the road for about 20 years, he said he felt he needed to spend more time with his wife and kids. Cameron still does some consulting for racing teams, but nothing extensive or requiring travel. Being elected mayor would mean returning to full-time work, and Cameron said that would require an emotional adjustment more than a physical one.

“I want to be close to my kids and with them as much as possible,” he said. “But I also want to make sure the community in which we live is well put together and has a bright and sustainable future.”

Cameron will run in the Republican primary election in 2011.

Mayor Andy Cook hasn’t announced whether he will seek a second term.

Those interested in contacting Russell Cameron can do so at horizonms@sbcglobal.net.

Cameron on the Grand Junction “I would love to see downtown Westfield become more alive with more shops and better infrastructure, but we have to make sure that the plan we use is not flawed,” Cameron said.

He added that he believes Mayor Andy Cook has the best interests of the downtown area in mind with the current plan, but said he’s skeptical about the method by which the plan will be executed, including paying an outside firm to write ordinances that could be done internally. Cameron also said that he’d like to see the process more open to the public, citing the Friday 9 a.m. Grand Junction meeting times as difficult for the average resident to attend.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that the city of Westfield is wise and should be praised for the hiring of three new officers to help protect our city. These actions show that city leaders are putting citizen safety at the top of the priority list, even during difficult financial times.

The three officers – Eric Grimes, Samuel Newlin-Haus and Samuel Laughlin – will join a squad within their patrol division shortly after the 14week training and evaluation program put on by our own Westfield Police Department.

While we understand that we citizens must question all expenditures undertaken by our government, we believe in this case the spending is worth every dollar if it helps keeps the streets of Westfield safe. But even well-trained and supported police officers are only half of what’s required to effectively manage and reduce crime. Each of us must take our responsibility as citizens to assist these men and women in the prevention and reporting of crime. Watch out for neighbors that are out of town. Report graffiti and other crimes. And don’t be afraid to work with police in your neighborhood.

Deficit voting

It is our position that the State of Indiana generally and our legislature specifically must act in response to falling revenue. The state has undershot its tax collection forecast for the past 17 months, including this past month. Leaders in the Indiana Senate have undertaken to pass a collection of resolutions aimed at making our budget balance.

While no one wants to spend less, we believe it would be irresponsible to take any other action. With business already suffering tremendously from the current recession and concern over coming months (including potential for significant tax increases or continued malaise in the economy), government must continue to make its expenses match it earnings.

The Senate bills have passed and are now awaiting corresponding passage from the Indiana House of Representatives. There, Speaker Pat Bauer can choose to act and bring the bill to the floor for a vote – or he can simply shelve the proposals and let the State spend more than it makes. While the folly of such action seems apparent to most taxpayers, it nevertheless routinely eludes the thinking of many government officials. Senate bills 1, 35, 236 and 98 deserve a vote. And we should demand it.

The how and the why COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker This month has been a tough one for the Carmel High School boys’ basketball team, coaches, and school administration, and for local police and, frankly, anyone who cares about kids. Regardless of the outcome of what will no doubt be a long and thorough investigation, many lives have been irreversibly altered (and not in a good way) by the alleged activities.

Even as haters both far and near seem to take great joy in the pain suffered in Carmel, the community is asking (rightly) how something like this could happen. Many have speculated that the bad behavior manifested itself in the form of a particularly unpleasant act of sexual deviance. The lynch mobs are forming. How did the administration let this happen? How did the coaches let this happen? How did the police let this happen?

Sadly, there will likely be plenty of blame to go around. But in the meantime, shouldn’t we withhold judgment until the investigation is resolved? For now, it strikes me that the question

for our community should be why this kind of deviant behavior is taking place, not how it is occurring mechanically.

These kinds of crimes are rampant across the nation. And while schools are reacting to a wave of sexually charged bullying, shouldn’t we explore the reasons behind the delinquency? How is it that these young people (both boys and girls) believe such action is ever OK? Moreover, even if one predator was at large, how is it that the other kids don’t simply know a serious line has been crossed?

Our youth are inundated with images that are beyond tolerable. Teen comedies routinely call forced male sodomy humor. The Internet delivers every manner of perversion to the everwaiting iPhone. Isn’t it possible (or likely) there is a connection?

A.D.D. is real, and it really sucks Commentary

By Danielle Wilson You know what I’ve decided? A.D.D. makes me M.A.D., mad! Both in an angry sense and in a mentally crazy way. Why? Because attention deficit disorder really screws people up, and if you don’t have the patience or means to deal with it, A.D.D. can seriously tax relationships. My husband and one of my sisters have it, as does the child of good friends of ours. All our lives would just be so much easier if A.D.D. didn’t exist.

And I get so irritated with those who think it’s not a real disorder, that A.D.D. is just a label pharmaceutical companies invented so they can make millions from selling Adderall, Focalin and Strattera.

Clearly, these disbelievers haven’t had to work around a loved one who can’t seem to get anything done on time or, at the other extreme, gets so involved with a project he forgets about everything (and everyone) else.

Take my husband. He’s never been officially diagnosed, but it’s quite clear to me and his family he suffers from A.D.D. As a child, he struggled in school and stirred up trouble. In college, he often missed deadlines and left tasks incomplete. As an adult, he’s learned to make lists and to

self-medicate with caffeine and now enjoys a successful career. But he still drives me bonkers, like when I ask him repeatedly to plow the driveway and days later it’s still not finished, though the garage is spit-spot clean because on the way to the shovel, he became distracted by the leaf-strewn floor.

Then there’s my younger sister. I never thought much about her having A.D.D., but when I look back on her childhood, the signs were all there. She too struggled in school, even though my parents held her back a year, and she frequently had trouble focusing on homework. Christina probably had the hyperactivity component too, as she was always in motion, whether it was bouncing off the basement walls or competing in gymnastics or cross country.

Over the past several years, she has become increasingly frustrated at her inability to read a book and has opted for medication. She can now read chapters at a time without losing interest or focus. But she’s also 32. Think of all that time she suffered for nothing, believing she was lacking in some way.

The worst scenario, though, is parents dealing with a child who has A.D.D. Our friends’ preschooler suffers from A.D.H.D., and because she also has some learning disabilities, her disorder is preventing her

from benefiting from therapy. (She can’t sit still to practice her speech, so her verbal skills are falling farther and farther behind her peers.)

At the recommendation of a child psychiatrist, her parents have started trying different medications, but so far they haven’t found the right combination of drug and dosage. She’s either completely unaffected or too comatose to eat. Their doctor assures them that they will get it right and that her A.D.H.D. will soon be a worry of the past, but it’s terribly difficult for them as parents to watch their child go through this. They also have the self-doubt that comes along with medicating a young child. Is it safe?

Should we wait until she’s older? What will her teachers say? The whole thing blows.

Given our family history, we’ve been extremely lucky that none of our children suffer from A.D.D. No Einsteins in the bunch either, but I’m okay with that. If they work hard and do their best, they’ll succeed. That’s a lot harder to accomplish when you suffer from A.D.D. Peace O.U.T. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist.

Residents support Tea Party movement

By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield A conservative Republican grass-roots movement, Tea Party groups have varying agendas, but their main purpose is basically the same.

According to the Indianapolis chapter, they seek “to restore limited government, fiscal responsibility, and accountable representation through citizen activism and education, in order to preserve the Constitution for the United States of America.”

Westfield residents Wanda and Mike Shepherd are involved in both the Hamilton County and Indianapolis Tea Party group. The Shepherds got involved because they felt they needed to have a way to voice their concerns, support, and ideas with other like-minded individuals in order to have a better chance to be heard.

“A lot of the Tea Party people nationwide feel like the government is not any longer listening to the people,” Mike said.

The group will support local, state, and even national candidates who share its values. That support is through both financial and volunteer means. Because many candidates in Hamilton County already share the Tea Party movement’s values, the Shepherds say that the Hamilton County group may do more in surrounding counties and for state candidates than local ones. For example, the group will hold a protest on April 15 in Indianapolis.

Local Tea Party groups protested in Indianapolis in April 2009. Another protest will be held in Indianapolis on April 15 of this year.

“We will be on the south steps of the State House along with as many other Tea Party people from Indiana we can get,” Mike said. “[We will be] protesting taxes, irresponsible spending, non-fiscal activity that either pertain to our state situation or the national situation.”

The Shepherds participated in the same protest last year on April 15 with about 3,000 others, and they also went to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 12, 2009, to protest the deficit and health care reform with what Mike estimates as several hundred thousand other Tea Party members.

Anyone interested in joining or getting more information about Hamilton County’s Tea Party can register on the Indianapolis Tea Party’s website (www.indianapolisteaparty.com). Hamilton County residents who register there will be connected with the Hamilton County group.

Surveys could help with ZIP code issue

By Kevin Kane Current in Westfield Westfield residents and business owners frustrated with having the wrong city name in their addresses will have an opportunity to help resolve the situation shortly.

The cities of Westfield and Carmel are working together to start the process of resolving the longstanding issues regarding improper city names and ZIP codes in the addresses of many residents and businesses. On April 1, the Postal service will mail out surveys to all Westfield residents and businesses who reside within the city’s boundaries yet have the incorrect city name in the address line. The surveys will ask if the recipient would support changing the city name in the address, and if the majority of the surveys are sent back in favor of the change, the adjustments will take place in July.

Regardless of the results of the surveys, ZIP codes will not be changed as a result, though Mayor Andy Cook said he and Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard are working to ultimately get that change made as well. Even changing the city

An important lesson from a pair of Westfield homeowners

name though, Cook said, will help with issues of city identity and public safety, among others.

He added that clearly identifying which locations are Carmel and which are Westfield will help everyone, including emergency dispatchers.

“It’s very common for people to call for assistance north of 146th St. and say ‘I’m standing in front of the Marsh store in Cook Carmel,’” Cook said. “That happens way too much.”

The surveys will need to be completed and returned in 30 days, but while it may seem that the process is moving quickly, Cook said it has taken he and Brainard years to get to this point.

“Even though we both requested a review of the situation, the Postal Service declined our requests to review it,” Cook said. “That was two years ago.”

Cook continued, saying that he periodically would make attempts to get the Postal Service to reconsider reviewing the issue, but his requests were repeatedly declined. He said it wasn’t until he asked Congressman Dan Burton’s office to get involved that any progress was made.

Ten foot-care tips for the New Year 1. When shopping for shoes, choose quality and comfort over style.

2. Pay closer attention to your feet and toes. Scrub them clean, just like you do every other part of your body. If you can’t reach your toes, shop around for assistive devices or forget your pride and ask a loved one to help you out.

3. Moisturize everywhere except the webspace between the toes. Too much moisture there increases your chances of getting fungus (athlete’s foot).

4. Ladies, watch the heel height. Try your best to keep it under 1½”. Going from higher heels to being barefoot in the house increases stress on your Achilles tendon and can develop into other issues.

5.

6. Avoid “medicated” corn pads. This medication is acid that is not healthy for the skin around the callus or corn.

7. Use the PedEgg for callused heels – not once a month, but daily or every other day. Make it part of your routine.

8. If you have a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, ease into it. Don’t jump on the treadmill and see how far you can go on day one. You need to adequately stretch and increase mileage slowly.

If you don’t, you are increasing your risk of developing a painful condition that will halt your workout routine and stall your weight loss efforts 9. The wart virus and fungus like similar environments – moist, dark, and dirty. So avoid the nasty old tennis shoes you use to mow the yard with, etc.

10. Do not ignore foot pain. If your foot hurts, there is a reason for it. If it does not improve within two weeks or causes you to limp or is swollen, bruised or infected, come see me.

Don’t ignore the pain. Millions of Americans suffer unnecessarily from treatable foot ailments without seeing a podiatrist.

COMMENTARY

By Robin Chaddock I had the honor of touring one of the most remarkable homes in Westfield.

This historic residence has as its base a beautiful old farmhouse and barn. This itself is noteworthy. What made an enormous impression to me was the way the owners had gone about building on to the original structure – and the outstanding planning and care that went into the process.

First, the owners lovingly restored the original farmhouse. They preserved and resurrected original floors, carpentry and structure. They took great care to find and incorporate lighting fixtures and hardware that had truly come from the period – they weren’t just replications. Some of these pieces were found in the barn on the property. The owners took the time to and saw the value in rummaging through the substantial amount of stuff stored in the barn to re-integrate pieces that had formerly lived in the house.

When they couldn’t find truly original pieces, they took extra measures to have floors, fixtures and furnishings crafted that would blend seamlessly with the style and ambiance of the home. When they added on to the farmhouse, great care was taken to ensure an

uninterrupted architectural flow.

It was a deeply moving experience to hear and see the passion the owners have for authentically bringing life and beauty to this historic home.

What impressed me most was a sense that the home and its history were truly being honored. While renewing the home and restoring – and certainly increasing – its functionality, a deep respect was conferred on the past.

It made me think of what this would look like if individuals, families and communities figuratively had this deep respect for themselves, where they’ve come from, and where they are going. In a largely disposable culture, it’s not always fashionable to take the time to “dig in the barn” for pieces that may be forgotten but are certainly not useless. It does take time and great care to fully consider and honor the integrity of what’s being built in each of us. My hope is that we’ll all take a lesson from this most remarkable home and its wise owners.

Even more tricky than rocking a rhyme COMMENTARY

By Brandie Bohney Anyone else remember Run DMC? “It’s tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that’s right on time! It’s tricky!” Well, today’s topic is tricky, too.

Certain plurals create a real bugaboo for writers and speakers alike. Oh, sure, there are irregular plurals that are formed without an s-ending, and there are plurals of words that end in s. But the plurals to which I am referring today are those which need and s in order to be made plural, but for which the s does not go at the end of the word.

Need an example to help you along?

Mother-in-law.

What? Your mother-in-law doesn’t help you along? Join the club.

Seriously, though, in order to form the plural of mother-in-law – or any in-law, for that matter – the s cannot go at the end of the word. You aren’t pluralizing law; you’re pluralizing mother.

The fact that they’re both part of the same hyphenated word is irrelevant. So the plural form

of mother-in-law is mothersin-law. And if you have to form this plural very often because you have more than one mother-in-law, let me just express my condolences now: I’m so sorry.

Our relations by marriage are not the only tricksters in this group, though.

How about measurements ending in –ful?

Ooooh. You probably hadn’t considered that.

Technically, words like spoonful, bucketful, crateful, cupful, can be pluralized either way: spoonsful or spoonfuls. With the exception of nonstandards like bucketful and crateful, though, the s-on-the-end pluralization is more frequently considered correct.

And that, my friends, is truly tricky.

Tr-tr-tr-tr-tricky!

Is your home fading away?

Do not let it happen to you because you do not know what the options are!

In today’s market hiring a professional is more important than ever. Call today for a FREE, no opbligation, confidential consultation.

‘I don’t try to be fair …’

COMMENTARY

By Becky Kapsalis Those are the words used by one of my mentors, “Parent Talk” author Chick Moorman.

Chick prefers to do what is equitable, not equal.

Equitability is characterized by justice or fairness and impartialness toward those involved. Equality, on the other hand, is defined as rights, treatment quantity or value equal to all others in a specific group.

For example, Johnny, who is 12, gets to stay up later than Billy, who is 11. Billy complains, “It’s not fair. Johnny gets to stay up later than me.” Our usual response might be, “Johnny is older and doesn’t need as much sleep.”

How is Billy to process that information when all he knows is it’s not fair? According to Moorman, his response to Billy might be, “I don’t try to be fair … I’m more interested in being equitable. You’re chances of getting what you need are better if I treat you equitably, not equally.”

This is a dilemma for families with more than one child: “She got more presents than me at Christmas.” “He gets to stay out later than me.”

“He had four cupcakes, why can’t I?” “That’s not fair!”

So instead of attempting to treat our children equally, try being equitable – impartial towards those involved. Being equitable means not favoring one person or side more than another. Being equitable is being neutral, unbiased, objective, detached, open-minded, evenhanded and balanced, to mention a few. Being equal, on the other hand, means being identical in size, quantity, value or standard.

Even though our children are of the same family, they are unique individuals necessitating unique attentive responses. So when we say, “I don’t try to be fair,” we are really saying, “You are a unique person not to be treated the same as anyone else in the family.” It works and is another way of preventing power struggles between parents and siblings. Hugs!

Are you mice or man?

COMMENTARY

By Chef Michael Vlasich Does it matter if it is orange, gray, blue or black? Will it affect what I pick, how much I indulge, or if I empty my billfold? Dollar signs or not? Roman numerals or bold font? Lengthy descriptions or short? To the left or underneath?

So many decisions.

The above are all factors of the psychology of sales effectiveness of menus. When you sit down at my table, my intention is not only to have you satiate your appetite, but also to entice your spending senses into a frenzy so. Believe it or not, chefs think about everything, from the demographics of our dinners to the seasons we are entering.

I first began to realize the importance of the mental game in sales as a young chef in culinary school. We did tests to prove the point, then hit it home in one of the restaurants where we would change menus weekly, testing theories, measuring results, seeing firsthand how the mice run the maze to get the cheese. You may ask yourself, “What would be so powerful to make me order until I feel so guilty I volunteer at the local food bank for a week?” The following are a few secrets. Shhhh … don’t tell them I told you.

First, colors play a big role. Blue, for example, can be positive or negative, depending on where and how it is used. No natural blue food is found in nature, so subconsciously, we do not like to put anything blue in our mouths.

However, in menu-writing 101, we are taught that red and blue as underlying colors or fonts subconsciously stimulate an appetite. On the other hand, we are taught purple and shades of gray do the opposite: deliver a feeling of satiation. Think about this: Do you ever see these colors in restaurants or as wall paper or

covering?

Another important part is how we designate the cost of our items. Do we use dollar signs?

In this economy, most wisdom states no. Believe it or not, a dollar sign on the menu in front of the value of the food decreases sales by 15 percent.

Still, the best sales piece of all to ensure unrelenting repeated sales is to have great consistent food and service, a clean facility, good lighting, easy access, ample parking, a clear, easy-to-read menu with good adjectives, and a friendly, confident capable wait staff.

On Friday, we did the “Go Red” luncheon benefiting the American Heart Association. Two items received rave reviews, the entrée, which was vegetarian, and the salad dressing, pomegranate emulsion. I thought I would share this with you as it is a super fruit and will continue to grow even more popular this summer.

Making the ‘The Change’ more gentle COMMENTARY

By Angela LaSalle M.D. Worsening PMS, changes in the timing of your menstrual cycle, night sweats, foggy thinking, insomnia and low libido are only a few of the symptoms of fluctuating hormones.

Perimenopause refers to the years prior to the actual end of the menstrual cycles in which women begin to experience symptoms. The ups and downs of the hormones and its discomforts have earned this process its nickname “The Change.”

The average age of menopause is around 51, but genetics, nutrition, stress levels and habits such as lack of exercise and smoking can affect the onset of symptoms. Women may begin to experience symptoms as early as in their 30s, as ovulation becomes less predictable and less progesterone is produced in the weeks prior to starting their flow. Estrogen levels can also fluctuate, causing a wide range of symptoms.

If you are experiencing the following, consider talking to your doctor about checking hormone levels.

• Hot flashes or night sweats • Insomnia • Vaginal dryness • Mood swings, irritability • Body aches

• Memory and concentration issues • Low libido • Hair loss • Changes in timing of menstrual cycles • Changes in flow (heavier or lighter cycles) • Bone loss (osteoporosis) The best time to check levels is in the second half of the cycles around days 19-22, counting day one as the day you start your flow.

Perimenopausal symptoms can be improved by eliminating sugar and processed foods, getting regular exercise and managing stress. Iron deficiency, lack of vitamin D, B vitamins or omega 3 fatty acids can also affect your energy levels and hormone function.

Working with your doctor is important to rule out nutrient deficiencies and to decide if low dose hormone replacement is needed for symptom control. He or she can take your own individual risk factors into account to make a plan that helps “The Change” become a more gentle transition.

Angela LaSalle, M.D. practices integrative medicine with the Indiana Health Group in Carmel and is board certified in family medicine.

Tanning salon tax just as discriminatory as ‘Botax’ COMMENTARY

By Dr. Barry Eppley The recent surprise decision by Sen. Evan Bayh to not seek re-election is likely a strong reflection of his desire to flee an unpopular ship. Perhaps Bayh knew that as the details of the health care bill began to see the light of day, great public disdain for all those who voted for it was sure to occur.

As a plastic surgeon, I was happy to see the unsavory “Botax” (a 5 percent tax on all cosmetic procedures, surgery or otherwise) was cut from the final version of the Senate health care reform bill. The “Botax” was eventually eliminated when it was rightly pointed out that it was not only a discriminatory tax on women but a punishment for those who sought self-improvement.

As a replacement for taxing cosmetic surgery, the Senate desperately searched for ways to redistribute more of your money. They turned their focus to … indoor tanning, of all things.

Known as the “Tan Plan,” a 10 percent federal tax on indoor tanning was quietly included in the revised bill. Optimistically, it is expected to generate close to 3 billion dollars to help pay for the uninsured. Tanning is a more palatable target, because it is considered by many to be unhealthy behavior in the very least.

While I don’t endorse any behavior that increases the risk of developing skin cancer, this new federal tax is just as reprehensible as the Botax. I am not a tanning expert, but I am certain the vast majority of those who patronize tanning salons are light-skinned individuals seeking to darken their natural skin tone. The Tan Plan is really a racially biased tax, likely unintentionally, but true nonetheless.

What the Botax and the Tan Plan demonstrate is that it is virtually impossible to pick and chose what type of human behavior you want to tax (penalize) without raising concerns.

If you really want to generate a lot of tax revenue and maybe even change societal health behaviors, there should be a “Fat Food Tax.” Must we really be deluged with food choices with such high fat or sugar contents? Obesity is a far greater health problem than cancer, AIDS and many other medical diseases combined. Such a food tax would, however, would cause a huge societal clamor. Taxing personal lifestyle behaviors is risky and will never be politically popular.

Having trouble sending e-mail while on the road?

COMMENTARY

By Gary Hubbard In the early days of e-mail, most of us used only one machine in one location to send and receive our messages, so programs like Outlook (and Outlook Express) did a fine job managing our mail interactions.

As we become more mobile or more likely to use more than one computer, it becomes difficult to use programs like Outlook with the same flexibility.

Many customers have contacted us saying their laptops are not working correctly because they cannot send out e-mail while they are on the road. They can receive e-mails with no problem, but when they try to send an e-mail, it won’t send and gives an error message or just sits in the outbox.

The reason for this problem is Outlook is specifically configured to send mail via your internet provider’s mail system. When you are on the road, you are no longer connecting to your provider, but your computer is still trying to send through your provider and thus errors out.

This restriction was implemented by all Internet providers years ago to stem the tide of spam that was sent via unauthorized systems on

the networks.

Simply put, you can only send messages via the Comcast mail system if you are on a Comcast Internet connection. Same thing goes for Brighthouse Road Runner users. Your Outlook Express is configured to use your providers outgoing mail system or SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server, so it gets denied access when you are on the road.

If you knew what the SMTP settings were for the new network that you are connecting to from the road, you could change the setting temporarily to get it to work, but there are more elegant solutions available.

One option is to use your provider’s “Web mail” interface instead of Outlook Express when you are on the road.

• Bright House customers can go to http://webmail.indy.rr.com.

• Comcast customers can go to http://comcast.net • AT&T users can go to http://webmail.att.net/ The nice thing about Web mail systems is you don’t even have to use your own laptop to access them. Just understand that what you do will not be saved in your Outlook at home.

Another option is to sign up for a free Gmail account (http://gmail.com), which can be configured to check your other e-mail accounts (Comcast, Roadrunner, AT&T or others).

You can set Gmail up to automatically make your messages look like they are coming from your other e-mail account for all outgoing messages or just those that were originally sent to your existing account.

You can export your contacts from Outlook Express as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file, which Gmail can very quickly import.

Once you have it all set up, use Gmail at home, on the road, on your friends computer or anywhere you can access the Internet. You will always have your most current contacts, messages and sent mail, no matter where you are.

Gmail has a very small learning curve and will likely change your e-mail life in a very good way!

Oh, you know where I am headed with this – it is all about the old 80/20 rule by Pareto.

Twenty percent of your activities produce 80 percent of your results. Are you focusing on the 80, or the 20? Focus on the 20!

Start this process by writing down 20 changes that will produce real results. Be brutal with yourself. If you are longing for hardwood floors, new door hardwood, new tile in the master bath and storage shelves for your kid’s playroom, but still have a sofa that drags on the floor, you could blow the budget and still not have a single room that feels good.

Because these changes probably represent separate areas in your home, it is time to isolate the 20 percent of your home (probably two rooms) that can really make a difference. Select these areas based on the idea that they would really benefit from your attention and are important to the quality of life in your home. Often, this could be the family room and kitchen. The

other areas are not forgotten…they are simply in queue.

Success in decorating comes when it is packaged with completion rather than scattered.

These two spaces will become our focus area. At this point, outside of “pick up and clean up,” put blinders on.

Pick your high-leverage items in this space to tackle. Estimate the time and money required and put the rest on the backburner. This should represent the 20 percent that will make a difference in the space. The best part of this approach is that once the big-impact issues are completed, the remaining 80 percent might not require

as much change as originally anticipated.

Before you take action, plan enough ahead to ensure your future decorating changes will flow. I call this your “design thread,” because it will take you from one room to the next with a connecting element.

Always consider style and color in your thread!

You will become stymied by something. Consider this as being “stuck in the mud.” It happens to the best. Spinning wheels is counterproductive, so hire a “tow” from an outside source. If your friend is a decorator, employ him or her for a fee, and see if the job can get jump started.

Design stores can proffer advice if you don’t have a decorator in reserve.

Hit-and-miss (80 percent) decorating will always be a process with little reward, so isolating the biggest impact (20 percent) in 20 percent of your home will result in a great space!

Happy decorating!

- www.esquire.com » Layered flooring – According to Marilyn Incerty, trend director for Cost Plus World Market, layering floor coverings adds richness and warmth. She suggested “overlapping several smaller, lightweight rugs with patterns and colors that are complementary.” Those with wall-to-wall carpeting can still get in on this trend. Place “a rug over existing carpet for an instant splash of color or pattern,” said Incerty. “This is a great trick for avoiding the hassle and expense of ripping out existing carpeting when you want an update.”

My daughter loves me as much as orange COMMENTARY

By David Cain Nothing is more inspiring than your child’s love. The look in their eyes as they glance at you with a look of reliance. You are their rock. You are their cornerstone, their foundation. They look to you for their very existence. You are their essence.

I was playing with my 2-year-old daughter.

She is fluent in broken English and a second language I call “baby” – a rich result of broken English spoken through a pacifier. Remove the pacifier, and you get broken English, put it in and you get “baby.” Either way, the result is confusing and cute. You’ll smile as often as you’re frustrated. As we played, she stopped suddenly, looked at me and said, “I love you daddy!” I felt the warmth flush through my body, as I smiled at her with great satisfaction she added, “I love orange too!”

I had achieved the same status as a color. Not just any color, but orange. Orange and I shared my daughter’s admiration and love. Her love for her father was at par with orange. I wasn’t sure how to react, but I could feel the warmth fade.

Like home, business presents opportunities for the same feelings. While you might believe

your customers are in love with your company and its services, if you don’t consistently deliver an experience that is memorable and valuable, that attractive orange might come along and curry their favor.

In business, if you are too comfortable with your business, your services or your job, then you’re at risk. If being good is a hurdle for being great, then comfort is the enemy of confidence.

Status quo and innovation are foes. Customer service is a misnomer.

You service cars. People demand a relationship. They want to talk to a real person, they want you to have an opinion, they want advice, and they want you to care. They want an experience, not a transaction. And it’s an experience that will keep orange at bay and allow you to continue to capture the love and attention of your clients. If you don’t, you’ll be introduced to orange’s dear friend, red, as in red ink.

Type: Traditional Age: Built in 1986 Location: Near 146th Street and Oak Ridge Road Neighborhood: Hunter’s Creek Village Square footage: 2, 066 on two floors Rooms: Four bedrooms, 2.5 baths Strengths: Home is on a private street in a price range that really moves in this area. The kitchen, breakfast nook and family room are open to one another. It also features an expanded garage and really lovely paver patio. The back yard has a nice privacy fence. Proximity to the Monon Trail and Clay Terrace is a plus.

Challenges: As with many homes built in the late ‘80s, the bathroom size in the master bathroom is compact. The owner has recently repositioned a wall to expand the bathroom space. There will be some competing homes with basements in this price range if the buyer is flexible in location.

» Lumps and bumps - Dogs and cats can develop small bumps (papules) or larger lumps (nodules) on their skin. The term 'tumor' means an abnormal growth or swelling, and is often used to designate cancer. Often, the word 'lump' also brings the word 'cancer' to mind. There are, however, many other causes of lumps and bumps. Because the cause could be one of scores, having a vet evaluate unusual lumps or bumps is important. For a list of possible causes, visit www.peteducation. com.

» Looking for a quiet pet? – Rabbits are often not on the top of the list when people go pet shopping, but for adults wanting an affectionate but quiet animal, rabbits can make excellent companions. Often thought of as an outdoor starter pet for children, rabbits are actually better indoors with grownups. They can be litter-box trained, and often get along well with cats (but generally not dogs). They love toys and can be fascinating to watch. And who doesn’t love petting a bunny?

COMMENTARY

By John Mikesell The Pet Poison Helpline offers tips for the prevention of pet poisoning caused by human medications.

The PPH has numerous veterinary professionals on staff, including board-certified veterinary medicine specialists, board-certified veterinary critical care specialists and veterinary technicians specifically trained in the field of toxicology. The number is 800-213-6680.

Below are the top 10 human medications most frequently ingested by pets.

1. NAIADS (e.g. Advil, Aleve and Motrin).

Common household medications called non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) top the list.

2. Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol). This drug is not safe for pets, especially cats. One regular-strength tablet of acetaminophen may cause damage to a cat’s red blood cells.

3. Antidepressants (e.g. Effexor, Cymbalta, Prozac, Lexapro). While occasionally used in pets, overdoses can lead to serious neurological problems. Pets, especially cats, seem to enjoy the taste of Effexor and often eat the entire pill.

4. ADD/ADHD medications (e.g. Concerta, Adderall, Ritalin). Minimal ingestion of these medications by pets can cause lifethreatening tremors, seizures and elevated

PETS OF THE WEEK Cookie is a 3-year-old female white Staffordshire terrier mix. Cookie is a darling little girl who has brown eyeliner perfectly applied around her right eye – it's just adorable! She arrived at the shelter when the family that adopted her almost a year ago felt she was too active for them so they returned her to us the day after Christmas. Cookie isn't all beauty, she's also got brains: She knows the commands “sit,” “shake,” “down” and “sit pretty.” She's also so smart she's figured out how to climb a 4 foot fence, so this means Cookie will need a home with a 6 foot privacy fence or always be leash walked. Due to her energy level, she would prefer a home with older children who can play and keep up with her.

body temperatures.

5. Benzodiazepines and sleep aids (e.g.

Xanax, Klonopin). About half of the dogs that ingest become agitated instead of sedate.

6. Birth control (e.g. estrogen, estradiol, progesterone). Can cause bone marrow suppression, particularly in birds.

7. Ace inhibitors (e.g. Zestril, Altace used for blood pressure). Pets ingesting small amounts can normally be monitored at home, unless they have a kidney failure or heart disease.

8. Beta blockers (e.g. Tenormin, Toprol, Coreg). Small ingestions of these drugs may cause serious problems in pets.

My neighbors are starting to get on my nerves COMMENTARY

By Dick Wolfsie All my neighbors are very nice, but the grumpy old man in me is slowly emerging.

Lately, everything seems to get on my nerves.

For example, this past week, I asked the Foxworthys to take down their Christmas tree. I believe yuletide decorations should be removed

by Valentine’s Day. Apparently they feel otherwise. I was so annoyed when I got back to my house, I almost tripped over our pumpkin.

There’s Darrell, the bachelor. When we have a snowstorm, Darrell is the first to shovel. I never see him actually do it, but when I look out the window, his driveway and walk are completely clear. Not a trace of snow – like it was the first of July. My wife says, “Why can’t you be more like Darrell?” A man doesn’t want to hear this at any age. In the fall, Darrell puts 20 bags of leaves at his curb every trash pick-up day. His lawn is the same size as mine, and I don’t have that many bags all season. I think he’s stealing other people’s leaves. I just can’t prove it.

The Monroes have two adorable little girls.

The 6-year-old is always asking me stuff.

“Why do you get mail?”

“Why does your dog have a tail?”

“Why did Mrs. Wolfsie marry you?”

As you can see, the Q&A gets tougher once she’s warmed up. If we move, I need to find a kid with easier questions.

The Osgoods live to our left. Larry is a professor, a real egghead. Last summer he decided to construct a fence around his yard. He had never done anything like this in his entire life. He had no plans, no instructions. He just got lots of wood and built it. It was a work of art. Do you see why this drives me crazy? Larry also has two kids but no basement in his house. Wouldn’t you assume that someone like that would have a garage full of junk? He doesn’t. Two cars, two bikes and a seed spreader. I’m suspicious. I think the CIA should know about this.

The Johnsons have a huge deck in their backyard, but they throw parties in the garage. Usually 20 or 25 friends show up for a fish fry and a plentiful assortment of beer. Everyone watches sports on a huge flat-screen TV. There’s more action in their garage on the weekends than in any room in my house. I asked my wife why we didn’t do the same thing. She said we don’t have 20 friends.

The Bentleys have the greatest lawn I have

ever seen. Thick, green, no weeds, flawlessly edged and manicured. I asked Jerry how he got such perfect grass, and he just shrugged. Wait a second: There’s no shrugging in lawn care. I know he’s hiding something. That’s one more thing for me to grumble about.

Finally there’s the family in the center of the cul de sac. They used to have a beagle that howled all night, but the dog was a TV star, so the neighbors let it slide. Their new beagle is unemployed, and the barking is driving everyone nuts. The dog is always in their garbage cans, and then the trash ends up blowing across everyone’s front lawn. This thoughtless person also leaves his garage door open all the time, and the inside is disgusting, piled high with boxes of old books – books he wrote but that no one will buy.

As grumpy as I’ve become, I’ve tried to be tolerant of this guy. Some people you just have to learn to live with.

We put more hearts back on rhythm.

Clarian North Medical Center is part of the team leading the way in correcting heart arrhythmia – a heart that’s out of rhythm. Our system of highly trained physicians includes fellowship-trained, best-in-class cardiologists from the IU School of Medicine, vested in teaching, treating and researching heart diseases and disorders.

Found in about 2.2 million Americans, atrial fibrillation, the leading cause of arrhythmia, produces symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness and can generally be controlled well with medication.

Left untreated, the risk of stroke, heart failure and heart muscle disease increases, making it essential for you to tune into your body and seek the highest quality care to re-establish your rhythm.

Would you like to learn more?

Free Heart Arrhythmia Seminar WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 6:30 P.M.
