Westfield High School seniors Lauren Seitz and Emily Moe were recently recognized as this year’s academic scholarship recipients from the Westfield Chamber of Commerce.

Seitz has been awarded the $1,000 Chamber of Commerce Scholarship. She will use her award toward her double major of English and French at Ball State University. Moe will apply her $500 scholarship, sponsored by Busby Eye Care, to studying chemical engineering at Purdue University.

The Westfield Chamber awards these scholarMoe ships each spring to two graduating Washington Township seniors. Applicants address a Chamberrelated question by submitting a 500-word essay.

This year’s question was about the importance of a chamber of commerce to its community.

“Westfield tries to embody its motto, ‘Old Town Charm, New City Style,’ and the Chamber of Commerce is a huge player in helping Westfield to show just that,” Seitz wrote in her essay. “When a new resident or business is Seitz considering relocating to the city of Westfield, the first contact made is often with the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber does its best to attract new residents, as well as new businesses, to Westfield and to the area in general.”

To read the complete essays from Seitz and Moe, visit www.westfield-chamber.org.

U.S. News & World Report has ranked Westfield High School as one of Indiana’s top public high schools. WHS is ranked seventh in the state out of 353 public high schools and received a silver medal for how well they are preparing students for college-level work.

“We are extremely proud of this national recognition,” said Mark Keen, superintendent Keen of Westfield Washington Schools. “Our high school staff and students continue to raise the bar in student achievement. This recognition is also reflective of the hard work taking place throughout the district to prepare our students for high school and the opportunities beyond.

“Additionally, we know this continued success is a direct result of our community support,” he continued. “With their vote, through the referendum, we were able to keep key programs and offerings in place for our students preparing them for career and college readiness.”

Fellow Hamilton County high schools in the top 10 included Carmel (third), Hamilton Southeastern (eighth), Fishers (ninth) and Noblesville (10th).

WHS ranks 933rd nationally out of the nearly 22,000 high schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia that were part of the study. Schools were awarded gold, silver, or bronze medals based on state proficiency standards, how well they prepare students for college, and other factors.

This is great chance to promote your business, interact with all the golfers and have bragging rights with the traveling trophy. For more information, contact the Chamber at 804-3030.

Dean’s list students – Alyssa Wieting of Westfield made the Dean’s List at DePaul University for the winter quarter of 2012.

In order to qualify for the Dean’s List at DePaul, students must earn above a 3.0 grade point average on a four-point scale. DePaul University is the largest Catholic university in the United States and the largest private, nonprofit university in the Midwest.

Wieting Westfield’s Joshua Dyer was one of 91 students who made the Dean’s List at Union College for the spring 2012 semester. The Dean’s List at Union is comprised of undergraduates who have completed at least 15 hours of graded work with a 3.33 grade point average, no grades of incomplete for the semester and no grades of C or below for the semester. Union College is a four-year liberal arts college related to the United Methodist Church.

Blood donors needed – Indiana Blood Center is calling on Hoosiers to help boost blood supply to meet the needs of hospitals all around the state. Schools host blood drives throughout the academic year, providing 30 percent of the blood needed to meet this demand. But, with classes ending and summer approaching, Indiana Blood Center is relying on communities to make up for the loss of student blood drives.

To meet the demand of more than 60 hospitals, Indiana Blood Center must see 550 donors every day. All blood types are needed, especially O-negative, which is the universal blood type that any patient can receive. Interested donors can visit www.donorpoint.org.

HCMG Plant Sale – At the end of the day, Master Gardener Suzanne Stevens estimated that 12,000 to 15,000 plants were sold on May 19 during the Hamilton County Master Gardeners Plant Sale. Profits from the sale enable the group to offer at least five college scholarships, Master Gardeners Nancy fund several school grants for outAyers, from left, Suzanne door classrooms and grow labs, keep Stevens and Cate Carrington up local show and display gardens and continue the group’s Gardening Hotline (776-0854).

Running for Special Olympics athletes

Officers from local law enforcement agencies within Hamilton County converged in downtown Noblesville during the county-wide Torch Run to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics Indiana. Special Olympic athletes from Hamilton County and around the state will be participating in this year’s Special Olympics Summer Games in Terre Haute June 1-3.

Officers representing the Westfield, Noblesville and Fishers police departments, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept., Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office and Indiana State Police took part in this fundraising effort. A total of approximately 60 officers participated.

Each agency began at 10 a.m. at a designated location throughout the county based upon their respective jurisdiction. Each agency covered a distance of approximately six to eight miles. Westfield Police Dept. started at Westfield High School, traveled south on Union Street then east on Ind. 32 to Noblesville.

All of the participating agencies then simultaneously converged on downtown Noblesville around 12:30 p.m. where they were joined by local athletes of Special Olympics for a lap around the Noblesville downtown square.

Cover story

In nine years, Westfield Relay for Life has raised awareness and more than $800,000 for research

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Last year, 1,012 people attended the eighth annual Westfield Relay for Life event. Co-chairwoman Janet Lome was all smiles just hours into this year’s relay on May 18 as that number was already surpassed.

“At the opening ceremony we already had that many,” she said.

“We’re expecting 1,200 people.”

The ninth year not only marked the largest number of participants but a fundraising milestone.

“We’ll hit $800,000 this weekend since we started,” Lome said, adding that this year’s fundraising goal is $107,000. “Eight hundred thousand dollars; that is huge!”

The success of the annual event is not a surprise. The committee that organizes the relay is comprised of 38 volunteers, which include many cancer survivors.

“We love it. It’s a boatload of work but so worth it,” said Lome.

“We forge our own path.”

Lome explained that of the 125 communities that host Relay for Life events in Indiana, Westfield ranks in the top 20.

“We’re No. 1 in customer satisfaction,” she said. “Every year we look for best practices.”

The event has also combined Westfield and Sheridan communities, schools and businesses as the two share the one event for two days at Westfield High School’s track.

“It is home. You sit here and see everybody you know. It’s just a lot of fun,” said Lome. “This community embraces Relay for Life.

It makes it easy to run working with this community.”

Lome, who has had cancer three times, says her goal for anyone participating is a simple one – “I want them to realize how much fun raising awareness can be.”

The fun-raising had a few alterations this year, including a shorter schedule. Typically, a Relay for Life event is 24 hours, but Westfield’s event was 18 hours. Lome said planners have been discussing the compressed timeframe since 2006 because so many

survivors organize, set up, participate and clean up the event.

“We’ll see how it goes. If people don’t like it we’ll go back to 24 hours,” she said. “We will raise the same amount of money.”

Some of the other new events at this year’s relay were Radio Disney on site playing music and games for families and a battle of the bands competition. Teenagers lined the first two lanes of the track facing the stage as most walkers slowed their pace to watch the live performances.

“It’s a new venue every 10 seconds – everyone sees you at different times,” said Westfield High School student Ian McIntyre.

McIntyre, the lead singer of Attack by Fire, said performing four songs with his band was an amazing experience and a very meaning one.

“It’s a cause that hits close to home,” he said. “I not only support my family but other families that want to find a cure.”

Taking a break from walking around the track, M&M team members Serina Shelburne and Amy Alemany designed personal luminary bags inside a tent. Shelburne explained how cancer had taken grandmothers from both her and her husband, Andy, and how her father fought and survived.

“My mom is a breast cancer survivor and my stepfather is battling brain cancer and has been for four years,” Alemany said.

More than 30 family members and friends comprised the M&M team, which stands for multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell normally responsible for producing antibodies. In multiple myeloma, collections of abnormal plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow, where they interfere with the production of normal blood cells. Because multiple myeloma constitutes 1 percent of all cancers, it does not receive much funding, All of the donations raised by the team will go toward that research – a cause close to the members.

“It’s a celebration of their life and beating cancer,” said Andy Shelburne. “Westfield is a great community to live in. It’s very supportive and it’s great to see all the people here giving their support.”

They began their primary education at the turn of the century, riding the wave of the Y2K scare. A few years later, America experienced the deadliest attack on U.S. soil that forever changed our country.

It’s a class whose normal view of the world is being at war.

They are perhaps one of the most technologically well-versed classes to date. They’ve grown up in the spotlight by expressing themselves to the world through social media.

The best advice may be found in the “How Communities Form” chapter of their social studies books from grade school. Be industrious. Be creative. Be entrepreneurial.

It's Greek to me

Commentary by Terry Anker

While traveling with a group speaking in various cities in the Middle East and Eastern Europe on the Austrian School of Economics, I found myself in Greece at the very time that its government is up-for-grabs and its economy is on the verge of collapse. The 350 or more folks that packed an auditorium in Thessaloniki (the second largest city after Athens) were concerned about the future of the country and its participation in the European Union. That night at a late dinner, I found myself sitting next to an affable Greek man whose spouse had served on the local organizing committee for the day’s events. After discovering that his sister had attended IU, our conversation ultimately turned to economics.

He asserted that the highest form of humanity thus far to inhabit our spinning rock were the ancient Greeks. He suggested that they spent their time in pursuit of enlightenment, not the avarice befalling (his words) the West today. He claimed that rampant materialism is the order

of the day. Hmm. Didn’t those ancient men all have slaves to serve their material needs freeing them for other interests? Well, he conceded that slavery wasn’t ideal, but defended the short workday and early retirement of many Greeks.

Then, I asked, were modern Greeks, by failing to address their significant debt to the rest of the EU while continuing to demand financial support, simply resting on the toil of others, specifically the Germans? Had the Teutonic people become slaves to a fresh Greek leisure class? My companion smiled and responded, well maybe.

Besides, he continued, the EU should never have allowed Greece to borrow from the beginning, so they deserved it.

Yet, as I reflected on our own growing deficit, I wondered if our generation is enslaving the next. Somehow, it doesn’t feel right.

After years of begging, pleading and cajoling, we finally got our way. At least we’d like to believe that! We’ve long lobbied for a pedestrian bridge connecting the Monon Trail Greenway from the West 146th Street terminus of the Carmel portion to the beginning of the Westfield segment. Given the risks pedestrians, runners and cyclists face daily with oncoming traffic in general and inattentive drivers specifically, we’re ecstatic that the Hamilton County Commissioners and INDOT got together to make this a coming reality. Soon, the honking horns and screeching-tire sounds will be a thing of the past; we hope it’s soon enough. Too often, we have witnessed vehicles blazing through a red light and turning right on red from northbound Rohrer Road. Results could have been disastrous. The $2,566,800 span (money well spent, we might add) will be 428 feet across and 17 feet above 146th. Rieth-Riley Construction of Goshen had the winning bid to build the steel-truss span. A formal construction schedule is forthcoming, but INDOT said it expects project completion by next May. One additional request, please: No gaudy neon lighting!

Letter to the Editor

Celebrate Memorial Day as a tribute to fallen heroes Editor, Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by Gen. John Logan, the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was first observed on May 30, 1868, when flowers and wreaths were carefully placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery, in memory of the sacrifices both forces made. It was an attempt to bring healing and solidarity to a country torn by the Civil War. Since then, it has evolved into a day where the brave men and women of our Armed Forces, who have fallen in service to our country, are honored.

In the wars and conflicts that followed, many brave men and women lost their lives to further the cause of liberty and defense of our country.

Contrary to some popular beliefs, it is not just a day to place flowers on the graves of any of our loved ones who have passed on. That’s a wonderful family remembrance, which should be carried out on many days throughout the year. However, it’s not why we observe Memo-

rial Day. This time has been set aside to commemorate the sacrifices made by the fallen members of our Armed Forces.

Sadly, traditional observance of Memorial Day has diminished over the years. Many Americans recently have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. At many cemeteries, the graves of the fallen are increasingly ignored and neglected. Most people no longer remember the proper flag etiquette for the day. While there are towns and cities that still hold Memorial Day parades, many have not held a parade in decades.

I have been increasingly upset by the disrespect some people have shown to our returning veterans and to those who have died defending our country. My blood boils when I see politicians use our fallen heroes for “photo ops,” then turn around and apologize to the world for our troops, who act in defense of our way of life. Our military and their families deserve better from us.

They need our support, prayers and respect.

Steve Benedict, 46074

Lesson learned Laughs by Danielle Wilson

I know I just wrote an amazing column on planning the ultimate Mother’s Day, but for some reason, I didn’t heed my own advice. Stupid! Here’s what went down.

For starters, I had two unsanctioned events scheduled, so I knew enjoying the day would prove challenging. Our oldest had a soccer game at 1 (with the potential to play in the championship at 6) and a daughter had volleyball at 12:30. (I’m sorry, but who schedules youth sporting events on Mother’s Day? That’s my day, damn it!)

So my “plan” for Mother’s Day went something like this: Maybe squeeze in DSW in the morning and then perhaps hit Castleton late afternoon, followed by Panera or possibly an evening flick. Or, bag all shopping and plant flowers. Note: At no time prior to Mother’s Day did I discuss any of this with Doo, nor outline my expectations for him and the kids, which is why it all went to hell fairly quickly.

I woke up and came down to a pile of dishes.

My children did wish me a happy Mother’s Day, but that was the extent of their “Be Nice to Mom” agenda. When I asked for my cards/gifts/ clay ashtrays, I got five blank stares. Then I casually announced that eggs and bacon sounded

good, but no one took the hint. Shortly thereafter I left for Clay Terrace, only to end up brooding in my mini-van because the stores didn’t open until eleven. I flew by the house at noon to grab my girls for volleyball, help Doo pack up the boys and confirm that the kitchen was still a pit.

My daughter won, but unfortunately, so did my futbol star. Now I was really in a quandary.

I could either skip his big match and wallow in guilt and buttered popcorn, or sacrifice the remainder of the day to support him. Regrettably, my motherly instincts prevailed. I did manage a Macy’s moment before the game, and was able to spend his warm-up eating soup with Doo, but we didn’t get home until 8:30, just in time to prep lunches. The last straw? Doo’s comment as I was sulking upstairs: “I think we’re just too busy for you to have Mother’s Day anymore.”

Pause for effect.

But, we live and learn, and things will go differently next year. Peace out.

Collaborative Law is an alternative dispute resolution process in which the parties retain separate attorneys whose primary function is to help them reach an agreed settlement. The parties and their attorneys collaborate in good faith, and commit to communicate respectfully and honestly to represent the legitimate needs of both parties. The parties agree not to litigate, nor threaten to do so, and if that should occur, the Collaborative Law process terminates and both attorneys are disqualified from any further involvement in the case. Attorneys hired for a Collaborative Law matter cannot continue to represent their respective clients in a litigated case.

Collaborative Law is not the best option for everyone. The best candidates for the collaborative process are parties who: • Want a civilized, respectful resolution of the issues.

• Would like to keep open the possibility of a friendship with the other party.

• Will be co-parenting children together and want the best co-parenting relationship possible.

• Want to protect their children from the harm associated with protracted, contested litigation.

• Have a circle of friends and family in common.

• Have ethical or spiritual beliefs that place high value on personal responsibility and integrity.

• Value privacy in personal affairs.

• Value control and autonomous decision-making and do not want to hand over decisions about financial distribution and/or child-rearing arrangements to a stranger (i.e., a judge).

•Recognize the restricted range of outcomes generally available in the court system, and want a more creative and individualized range of choices available for resolving your issues (provided such are compliant with all rules and guidelines).

• Place as much or more value on the relationships that will exist in the restructured family situation versus a priority of obtaining the maximum possible amount of assets.

• Understand that conflict resolution with integrity involves achieving mutual, reasonable goals.

Please contact Harden Jackson Law at 317-569-0770 or www.hardenjacksonlaw.com for more information about collaborative law.

The above is for informational purposes only should not be considered legal advice. Each case is unique and you should consult an attorney for advice regarding your particular situation.

The Nickel Plate Arts Weekend is bringing local art, food and culture outdoors this weekend

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com This weekend, artists and local artisans will take part in the Nickel Plate Arts Weekend.

The weekend is composed of more than 30 separate events across Noblesville, Fishers, Tipton, Arcadia and Cicero. The planned events include fine art exhibits, interactive art locations, local food and train rides.

“The Nickel Plate Arts Weekend emerged out of the Hamilton County Artist Association’s Plein Air Paint-Out. Many area artists knew that this is not an event to miss. We saw that as an opportunity for something that Nickel Plate Arts could adopt and spin off from,” said Betsy Jones, interim director of Nickel Plate Arts and director of tourism development for the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Nickel Plate Arts, the organization responsible for the weekend, is spinning off from the

Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau into its own nonprofit organization that will act as a single hub from which a number of area artists, local galleries, festivals and other organizations can collaborate to further the arts throughout Hamilton County and central Indiana. This weekend is the first major step in that collaboration.

“We commissioned 16 different local artists to paint large, outdoor umbrellas. Those umbrellas will be spread across the five communities (during the weekend) and will be accompanied by information, volunteers, artists and musicians,” said Jones.

The public will have a chance to view all 16 umbrellas from 9 a.m. to noon this Friday at the Noblesville Square.

While the HCAA’s fourth annual Plein Air Paint-Out is one of the weekend’s main events, other highlights include Noblesville’s Old Mill Festival, the Art Train from Noblesville to

Cicero, Arcadia and Tipton, Main Street’s Jazz Squared and the Nickel Plate Arts Campus Preview at the historic Judge Stone House.

“We saw this weekend as our chance to enhance the Plein Air Paint-Out with more interactive elements and reasons to travel around the county. We aren’t looking to create something from nothing,” said Jones. “We are looking at what is bubbling up around us and what is already deeply embedded in our communities. We want to cultivate and enhance that.”

In the future, Nickel Plate Arts is planning to host classes in a wide variety of areas such as visual art, music and poetry.

“Our goal is to make art available and obvious. We want it to be accessible,” said Jones.

NIGHT & DAY Game Review Diablo III is a strong game wrapped in technical problems and utter inconvenience Commentary by Christian Sorrell It has been more than 12 years since its predecessor, but Diablo III is finally here. Following in the footsteps of other titles like Starcraft II, Blizzard, the game’s developer, has created something that is very much another Diablo game. For many, that will be a great thing.

This time around, there are five different classes to pick from: the Witch Doctor, the Barbarian, the Wizard, the Monk and the Demon Hunter. Overall, the gameplay is the same as before, but the skill trees have been entirely reworked and simplified. For veteran players, it may feel like the game has been dumbed down with these changes, and I wouldn’t say that’s entirely inaccurate.

In an attempt to fight online piracy, Blizzard requires Diablo III to be connected to the Internet at all times, even while playing single player and not utilizing any of the online functions in any way. This is, for the most part, unprecedented and honestly, it is the main reason for most of the game’s problems up to this point.

This always-online connection requirement means that when Blizzard’s servers are down, players are completely unable to play the game.

When they suffer any sort of connection issue on their end, the players will be pushed back to the game’s main menu instantly. When playing

alone, you will still experience lag from time to time, as if you were playing an online game.

Ultimately, Diablo III is an easy game to recommend to fans of the series and newcomers alike … when it works, which so far has not been very often. Hopefully Blizzard will iron out the kinks, and we will all be demon slaying consistently for weeks to come.

Diablo III is on sale now at local video game retailers and online at Diablo3.com.

Film “Coriolanus” • R, 123 minutes

Laura, Austin & Liam Walls

Palatial Air Commentary by Chris Lloyd

Shakespeare has rarely translated well to film, and even when it does – “Shakespeare in Love,” “Romeo + Juliet” – it’s usually in a modernistic, revisionist way that steps outside the rigid confines of the Bard’s plays. And the reason is simple: with nigh on half a millennium separating our version of the English from his, it’s very difficult for anyone who’s not a Ph.D. in literature to comprehend just what the heck the characters are saying.

“Coriolanus,” based on one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known works, lies somewhere in between.

The dialogue is tweaked enough to make it so the layman can follow along, but the bones of the story are still there.

Ralph Fiennes, who also makes his directing

debut, plays the title character, an over-proud general just returned triumphant to Rome. He thinks his honor has won him the right to become consul, but the common people do not love him, and scheming politicians maneuver to rob him of the title. Enraged, Coriolanus joins forces with his mortal enemy to wage war against the empire.

It’s grandiose, bombastic stuff, and both Fiennes and Vanessa Redgrave were passed over for Academy Award nominations they probably deserved.

Recommendation: Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir 2010 ($20) Pinot Noir is one of the best wines to pair with cherries, mostly because the flavor itself is reminiscent of sweet red berries, plums and cherries.

Caring for Alzheimer’s Home Instead Senior Care hopes free workshop will educate, help individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease

By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease can be a challenging experience, and many in that position suffer from a lack of know-how, according to Jeff Sewell.

“The public, individuals caring for people who need assistance are desperate for information,” said Sewell, owner of the North Indianapolis Home Instead Senior Care office.

To help individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, Sewell’s office will hold its first, free family education workshop Thursday. The workshop will provide attendees with information and techniques used by professional caregivers for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.

“Once a person’s been diagnosed, a lot of people think it’s an immediate sentence that they’ll have to leave home and live in a facility,” Sewell said. “We’re trying to tell people that you can care for them at home in surroundings that will be familiar.”

The free program is part of a shift at Home Instead Senior Care in how its caregivers serve Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. The new model is dubbed Changing Aging through Research and Education, or CARE for short. A big part of the model is the Life Journal, which is a collection of information and personal history about the patient that caregivers can use to engage patients.

“A lot of times Alzheimer’s patients love to live in the

By the numbers • There are an estimated 5.4 million people with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia in the U.S. today – a figure that’s projected to increase to more than 13 million by 2025.

• In 2000, there were an estimated 100,000 dementia patients in Indiana alone. Today, there are more than 120,000, and will be a projected 130,000 by 2025 – a 30 percent increase over a 25-year period.

• It’s estimated that one out of every seven individuals with dementia lives alone, and as much as 41 percent of them may remain undiagnosed. past,” Sewell sad. “Many of them can tell you their rank and serial number when they served in the military, but struggle with more recent memories.”

The journal allows caregivers to tap into these memories to connect with their patients, an experience similar to one Sewell said he had with his own grandmother.

“My grandma, as she aged, had trouble communicating,” he said. “Ironically, she kept her own journal, so when I visited I could read it and have something to talk to her about.”

Sewell said he hopes the workshop will provide caregivers some universal tools to deal with their individual situations.

“There’s no one situation like the other,” he said. “Every individual is going to progress at a different rate and experience different symptoms.”

The free, family education workshop is Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Home Instead Senior Care Nora location, 941 E. 86th St., Suite 250, Indianapolis. More information is available by calling 252-472, or visiting www.homeinstead.com/141. An RSVP is requested for the event.

Medicare myths revealed Finance by Adam Cmejla

It’s time to lift the hood and examine Medicare, more specifically some common myths and misunderstandings that we see in our conversations with clients. A recent study found that 27 percent of pre-retiree respondents didn’t know how their health care expenses would change in retirement once enrolled in Medicare, and 65 percent of newly retired individuals (ages 65 to 75) say they pay the same or more for health care in retirement. Let’s examine four myths and facts about Medicare.

Myth #1: Medicare is mandatory. Medicare is not mandatory. If you are an employee or the spouse of a covered employee and the current company has more than 20 employees, you are able to continue coverage under that group’s plan. Everyone else must enroll at age 65 or face a penalty.

Myth #2: I’m automatically enrolled in Medicare. Medicare is not automatic, except if you are already receiving Social Security benefits. If you are not receiving Social Security benefits, you must enroll during open enrollment.

Open enrollment is the three-month window leading up to your 65th birthday, the month of your birthday and the three months after. If you are covered under a group plan, you have up to seven months after group coverage ends to en-

roll without penalty.

Myth #3: All medical costs are covered under Medicare. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, (non-medically driven) dental and eye exams, hearing aids, cosmetic surgery, billed services over Medicare-approved amounts and amounts not covered by deductibles and coinsurance (20 percent) are all the responsibility of the insured, not Medicare. This is why supplemental insurance is a key planning discussion (otherwise referred to as “medigap” policies).

Myth #4: Medical expenses aren’t that much higher in retirement. Medicare premiums start at $99.90 per person and increase as one’s income increases. Add to that outof-pocket costs, prescription drug coverage, copayments, coinsurance, deductibles and supplemental premiums, and it’s easy to see how medical care must be a major planning piece in everyone’s retirement planning situation. If you haven’t already, make sure you sit down with a qualified professional to discuss these and many other scenarios that are likely to impact your retirement plan.

‘Elder plastic surgery’ becoming more common Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley Q: I have lost weight and now have more neck skin than ever. I am 76 years young and still have a lot of living to do. I am very healthy, dance regularly and just feel like I should look better. Am I too old for a neck lift?

A: Your age of 76 is certainly not a limiting factor in having face-lift or neck-lift surgery.

As long as you are healthy and your doctor clears you for surgery, there is no reason not to enjoy the outcome of having your neck wattle removed. It would be fair to say that the result obtained will last you for much of your remaining years. The concept of “elder plastic surgery” is becoming more common as people are living longer and in better health than ever before.

There is no age limit in feeling and looking good. Some surgical judgment, however, has to be exercised as to how extensive these procedures should be. It is obviously better to have some improvement done safely than a perfect result that has medical complications.

Q: While having sex with my husband he leaned on my breast and it caused some immediate pain. For the past few days now, I have had lingering pain, although it has gotten better. That breast also feels a little harder now. Could I have a breast implant rupture? I had silicone implants placed three years ago.

A: Your question is actually a common one, and let me provide an overall explanation. The shell or bag of a breast implant is made of a very flexible but strong silicone elastomer material.

It is designed knowing full well that it will regularly be exposed to a compressive crushing force … known as a mammogram. Any woman who has ever had a mammogram can testify to the fact that their breast is really squashed between two paddles during the procedure. Millions of breast implants are exposed to mammograms every year in the U.S. and around the world, and there is no evidence that they induce rupture unless the implant shell has already been weakened. So it is highly unlikely that rupture of breast implants can occur as a result of sexual activity. It takes a high energy force to rupture a breast implant such as might occur from an automobile accident or other traumatic injury.

What you are likely feeling is a mild bruise around the implant capsule, which should go away in a few weeks. If in doubt, an MRI or a high-definition ultrasound will be needed to answer the breast implant rupture question conclusively.

Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Move the needle – Simplify Commentary by CJ McClanahan

As I write this message, Facebook has just completed its first day of trading on the NASDAQ and closed $.23 above its opening price of $38. Already there are dozens of “Was Facebook Overhyped” stories flying all over the Internet.

Last night, I had a long drive from a client and I listened to more than two hours of sports talk radio. In this time span, I heard at least five different explanations about why Steve Blake, and not Kobe Bryant, took the last shot in the Lakers game.

It’s not enough to simply look at each of these issues and say – “Facebook opened on the NASDAQ” or “the Lakers lost.” Unfortunately, with a 24-hour news cycle and hundreds of outlets all competing for attention, the media make everything complex.

This applies to all areas of our lives. Simple is no longer acceptable.

As a result, when sales begin to slow in business, we assume it’s time for new products, services and marketing strategies. The next thing you know, we’ve added 10 menu items and signed up for a corporate Pinterest account. If these newest additions don’t immediately move the needle, we’ll add some more.

It never seems to end. But in business, less is often more.

The best example of this philosophy is the

most profitable and valuable company on the planet – Apple. While their competitors continue to add products by the bushel, Apple has chosen to keep it simple. They have five main products (iPad, iPod, iPhone, Mac and iTunes) – that is it.

Steve Jobs’ autobiographer, Walter Isaacson, pointed out that Jobs was obsessed with simplicity and believed that, “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.” We can learn a lot from Jobs’ philosophy.

Start by listing and ranking your products and services. Which is the most profitable? Which one generates the most sales? Which one are you the best at delivering? Which one is easiest to sell?

Next, ask yourself where you spend the most time. Is it with the products/services that are easy to sell and generate the most profit, or those that barely break even and have a long sales cycle?

I’ve done this a handful of times since starting my company nine years ago. Each time, I ended up completely eliminating one of my offerings, which quickly led to less stress and more profit.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Largest Greek island creates Crete expectations Commentary by Don Knebel The inhabitants of Crete, the largest Greek island, have long suffered a strange libel. The biblical letter to Titus says, “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.” Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel scene of the Last Judgment shows the Cretan King Minos with a serpent wrapped around him, judging the damned as they fall into Hell.

But Cretans (not to be confused with cretins) got the last laugh in 1900 when English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans uncovered on Crete the heart of an advanced civilization existing hundreds of years before civilization came to the Greek mainland. This once-forgotten civilization, now labeled “Minoan” in honor of King Minos, is literally the stuff of legend.

Modern travelers to Crete can visit the restored Minoan palace of Knossos, near the modern city of Heraklion. That large complex, built between 1700 and 1400 B.C., eventually contained more than 1,300 interlocking rooms on multiple levels. It is the likely source of the ancient myth of the labyrinth, where King Minos is said to have kept the half-bull, half-man Minotaur.

The Minoans were the first sea-farers, with ships carrying both goods and culture around the Mediterranean. Exported Minoan pottery has been found as far east as the Mediterranean coast of modern Israel. In fact, some people

The original Labyrinth think that the Philistines who settled along that coast were actually Minoans who fled Crete when a volcanic eruption destroyed their cities, perhaps giving rise to the legend of Atlantis.

Sour greats: Vinegar a wonder food Pets by John Mikesell

Apple cider vinegar and other vinegars have many uses for healthy dogs.

People have been using vinegar for thousands of years, and while most of it goes into salads and condiments, vinegar can be used as a household cleanser, cosmetic aid and health treatment. Many dog lovers add vinegar to their pets’ food or apply it topically to their best friends. Advocates call vinegar, especially unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar, a wonder food.

Vinegar has long been used as a first-aid treatment. Many natural health experts prefer raw organic apple cider vinegar for topical applications, including muscle aches, bruises, sunburn, windburn, abrasions, insect bites, stings and even hair care (controlling dandruff and controlling static).

Nearly all of vinegar’s human uses can be applied to pets.

Explore the uses of raw organic apple cider vinegar and distilled white vinegar for improved health and household applications: • Spray kitchens surfaces, raw meat and produce with vinegar and hydrogen peroxide (spray separately, one after the other) for thorough disinfecting.

• Use apple cider vinegar as a nontoxic flea dip.

• Add apple cider vinegar to shampoo or final rinse for coat conditioning and deodorizing.

• Apply full strength or diluted cider to cuts, abrasions, calluses, bruises, sore pads or muscle strains.

• Make your on herbal tinctures with cider vinegar for improved digestion or topical application.

For more on using vinegar as a pet care staple, read “Apple Cider Vinegar: Miracle Health System,” or “Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog.” To really learn more about the health benefits of vinegar, talk with your dog’s health care professional.

In Indiana, what was historically referred to as alimony is now termed “spousal maintenance.” Parties going through a divorce should be advised that there are two (2) types of spousal maintenance: (1) temporary spousal maintenance, which may be ordered to be paid by one party during the pendency of the divorce; and (2) spousal maintenance after entry of the final Decree of Dissolution by the court.

Temporary maintenance can be ordered by a court at the preliminary hearing or agreed upon by the parties. The purpose of this order is to allow the parties to maintain the “status quo” in order to meet all financial obligations during the pendency of the divorce. When determining whether an award of temporary maintenance is appropriate, courts may consider which party will be living in the marital home with the children during the pendency of the divorce and any discrepancy in the parties’ earnings or income in relation to the existing marital obligations. When appropriate, the court may order one party to pay the other’s obligations, such as the monthly mortgage, utilities on the marital residence, car payment, or minimum monthly payments on credit cards.

Post-dissolution spousal maintenance may be ordered to be paid after the court’s entry of the Decree of Dissolution in three (3) circumstances (absent an agreement to the contrary.); (1) if a party is incapacitated due to a physical or mental disability such that they cannot work and support themselves; (2) if a

child of the marriage is disabled and the party taking on primary care and custody of that child will not be able to work to support himself/ herself, and the child due to the caretaking responsibilities which are required; and (3) if “rehabilitative maintenance” is deemed appropriate when one spouse is required to further his/her education or training prior to a re-entry into the workforce due to the fact that their education, training or employment was interrupted for homemaking or child rearing reasons. Under Indiana law, rehabilitative maintenance may only be ordered to be paid for up to a period three (3) years.

If you would like to request an award of spousal maintenance, it would be beneficial to speak with attorney who has had experience in such matters given the fact that a spousal maintenance award is extremely fact-sensitive. A maintenance request should be made only when appropriate so as to avoid unnecessary delay in resolving your case, as it could lead to potential conflicts which otherwise can distract the parties from reaching a reasonable settlement.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, maintenance or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Sharp blades, sharp lawn Commentary by Chris Arney Mower blades will dull over time, which can have a negative impact on lawns and lawn mowers. Dull blades require more energy to cut and increase the wear and tear on your lawn mower. Over time, using less-than-sharp blades will begin to impact your lawn as well.

Examine the tips of the grass after you cut the lawn. If the ends appear to be jagged or shredded, it’s time to sharpen the blades. A poor cut will cause the plant to recover more slowly, requiring more time, nutrients and water to repair itself. It also gives the end of the leaf a brown appearance and can detract from the overall appearance of the lawn.

But remember: safety first! Disconnect the spark plug before working on the blades. Next, using the proper size wrench, loosen the bolt that secures the blade to the deck. Most mowers only have one bolt per blade. You might need

a block of wood to wedge against the blades so that it does not spin. After you have removed the blade, inspect it for damage; blades that are bent or have large divots need to be replaced. If it comes to replacement, I recommend taking the old blade with you to the store to match up the length and size of the bolt hole.

Secure the blade in a vise before sharpening.

Files and grinders will make short work of a dull edge. Carefully work the edge of the blade.

You do not want to actually change the angle of the cutting edge, only make it sharper.

Butter-knife sharp is all it takes to make a clean cut.

Reinstall the blade and get back to cutting grass. Sharp blades will increase the life of your mower and improve the look of your lawn.

Remodeling

New outdoor appreciation Commentary by Larry Greene

Original back patio: This home, located in the Claybridge subdivision on the west side of Carmel, was built in the early 1990s, and the current homeowners are the original owners.

They commented, “We had an ugly blue stone patio that had become very dirty. We really never used the back patio and we felt the great views of the water were going to waste. We thought a great deal about the design we wanted, and the designers were very helpful with ideas too.”

New gazebo: The new gazebo includes an outdoor TV and motorized retractable screens that raise and lower with a remote control.

“Our favorite part of the space is the gazebo. We never realized what we had been missing by not spending any time in our backyard until we had the gazebo built. We have comfortable furniture out there, where we sit and play games together on our iPads. We also had large patio heaters installed so we can use it during the colder weather. It feels like we have added a whole other room to our home.”

Deck and patio details: The project included new Timbertech composite decking, custom

black aluminum railing, a fire pit and a concrete paver patio with seat walls and a built-in grill.

“When we have people over, we sit by the fire pit, which is very enjoyable. I have even had friends over during the cooler days and we enjoy sitting out there.”

Final results: The homeowners noted, “We are very happy to be able to spend time at the back of the house now. We have a very nice backyard, as (we) spend a lot of time with the flowers and landscaping, and we live on a lake.

We feel like we can appreciate that area much more now. It is a delight to be out there. We joke that we feel like we are out in the country when we are out there.”
