36-year career has teeth

Commentary by Donna Monday

It was 1978. The BeeGees were “Stayin’ Alive,” and Debbie Boone was lighting up somebody’s life. Colony Woods sported about a dozen plain talk houses in all. Raintree wasn’t yet finished, and Sugarbush had not begun.

Enter the town’s first female dentist, Glenda McCabe, fresh out of IU School of Dentistry, a spring graduate.

“Why Zionsville?” I asked her.

“Well,” she said. “Dennis [her husband] was working downtown at Indiana Bell, and we needed an easy commute.”

The first order of business was business itself.

She and Dennis were off to Farmers State Bank at the intersection of Main and Oak Street. Tom Gruhl was the bank president.

“I said I was interested in starting a dental practice in Zionsville, “ she said. “Tom took us in his car all around Zionsville.”

Later, back at the bank, Glenda quotes Tom as saying: “’I can’t believe I am lending money to a lady dentist.’”

Glenda then added fuel to the fire.

“Well,” she said, “I’m left-handed, too.” “’Oh no!’” he said. “’I won’t even be able to sell the equipment if you go under.’”

She got the money, and the town got a new dentist. Needless to say, she did not “go under.”

If she was the first woman dentist, I was an early patient. She’d barely hung out her shingle when she realized the phonebook had her phone number wrong. She needed an ad --with the correct phone number--every week for the next year, so she called the local paper I was editing.

Since I needed a crown for a tooth, the publisher, she and I made a deal. She got the ads; I got the gold crown. Thirty-six years later the crown is still good, which is why I’m still her patient, even if she does only work one day a week.

She recently sold her practice to Dr. Darrin Combs.

She now refers to herself as “just an employee.”

I asked this “just an employee” what was the most bizarre story she could tell about a dental emergency. She laughed at remembering.

“A daughter of a friend called and said she thought there was something wrong with her two front teeth,” she said.

Glenda McCabe works on a patient. (Photo by Donna Monday)

“Are they broken?” asked Glenda. “’No,’” she said, “’They are red.’”

A sheep she was loading had butted her in the mouth, and the teeth were bleeding inside.

The “kicker,” if you’ll pardon the pun, is that the patient sold her sheep to pay for her dental work.

It was just another day at the office.

ennifer loves helping another sales professional!

B.J. is Jennifer’s favorite car guy. He helps her find the best deals on the best cars in his role as a sales rep for the Tom Wood Group.

When it came time for he and his wife Kalyn to buy a home, their roles reversed! Jennifer accepted the challenge to find them a house that was close for both their commutes, in excellent condition, and offered the potential to be a showplace! The right house was available in McCordsville, but two other offers were received at the time the Knapke’s submitted their offer! The irony was frustrating, as the house had been on the market for 1000+ days before their interest materialized. It is never fun for Jennifer to be in a multiple offer situation, but she helped them write a strong offer to beat out the competition and secure the house. It worked! And despite a few hiccups in the inspection, the Knapke’s got to take possession of their dream house in short order!

Patriotism, memories and thankfulness filled the conversation when the Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors of Garden Homes at Seniors Zionsville Meadows met for their monthly book club earlier this month. These enthusiastic readers were among the first to enjoy Crackerjack Books, a new book club discussion kit for senior groups provided by the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library.

Originally launched with six titles to choose from, the kits grew out of an idea proposed by the library’s Senior Council. Each boxed kit is dedicated to one title and contains eight large print copies, an audiobook and a discussion guide. Thanks to a generous grant from the Library Foundation, nine different Crackerjack Book sets are now available for checkout to local assisted living facilities and their residents.

The enthusiastic OWLS celebrated the launch of the library’s new program with a discussion about “The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion,” a best-selling novel by Fannie Flagg. The book, which brings to life some unsung heroines of WWII, the Women Air Force Service Pilots, was a perfect choice for the group’s Veteran’s Day event. The ladies shared their impressions of the book and personal recollections during the event.

All 11 gave the book an enthusiastic thumbsup, something of a rarity, according to Debbie Itani, Activities Coordinator for the Garden

At the end of the discussion, Itani presented the library with a copy of “American Experience: Fly Girls,” a program produced by WGBH for the Public Television Service. This DVD will be added to “The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion” Crackerjack Books box for others to enjoy.

Don’t Let Celebrations Become Hazardous This Holiday Season By: Patrick Terry Allstate Insurance Agent The holiday season is full of traditions like baking, decorating and hosting family gatherings. With all of those activities taking place, home safety may be the last thing on anyone's mind, but it's especially important this time of the year. In Indiana, fire claims increase by 16 percent during the holiday seasoni, which is higher than the national average of 12 percent, according to Allstate Insurance Company.

Allstate’s 2014 Holiday Hazards poll also found most Americans believe both fire and theft risks increase during the holidays, but a majority (63 percent or more) say they aren't paying any more attention to these risks, which could result in trouble during this busy time of the year.

In Indiana, the top three most common holiday-related claims are: • Burglary • Theft from locked vehicle • Electrical fire Advance planning and precaution can help people protect their homes and help make the holidays hazard-free. Here are a few tips to help keep safe during the holidays: • Before the holidays, install new batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure family members can locate and operate fire extinguishers.

• Never leave burning candles unattended and always place them out of reach of children. Make it a routine to check that all candles are extinguished before going to bed each night.

• Check holiday lights, throwing away any that are broken. Don’t overload the outlets and only lights and extension cords specified for outdoor use should be used outside.

• When shopping, don’t leave purchases in the passenger compartment of an unattended vehicle. Store them out of sight, in the trunk.

• Don’t advertise shopping trips or gift purchase on social media. Whether its “check-ins” using geo-location services, travel plan updates, or even photos uploaded while at a holiday party, people maybe be unknowingly giving digital thieves greater insight into the contents of a car’s trunk and times the family is away from home.

See how holiday hazards can hit close to home and get more tips by visiting Allstate's Holiday Decorator, where anyone can virtually decorate their actual home by adding holiday lights, decorations, and even snow. As the user decorates their house, Mayhem appears after encountering a common holiday hazard, followed by a preventative tip. Try the Holiday Decorator at holidaydecorator.allstateonline.com.

Remembering my worst car

Commentary by Ward Degler

Someone posted a link on Facebook recently, listing the 50 worst cars ever made. I owned a couple of them, but one in plain talk particular stood out.

The 1956 Renault Dauphine was the French attempt to bring Europe into the post World War II era. The designers believed their country should be represented in the automobile world by something more dignified than the boxy Citroen 2CV, a contraption that looked like a Cracker Jack prize, made from flat sheets of metal bolted together at odd angles.

I bought mine the day after arriving in Hawaii during my tour in the navy. Someone at Pearl Harbor directed me to a back street car lot, which specialized in selling castoff cars to desperate military folks in need of transportation.

The right front fender had been damaged in an accident, the front bumper was held in place with wire, and the right headlight lolled aimlessly in its socket. It was a bargain at $300, the salesman assured me. Moreover, he had a friend in the body shop business who could repair the damage for another $150.

The body shop guy, it turned out, worked out of a battered Volkswagen Microbus at the rear of a parking lot. He ran his power tools off a long extension cord plugged into the restroom of a gas station next door.

Considering what he had to work with, the

car looked pretty good when he finished. The fender had been repaired with copious amounts of Bondo and sprayed with a thin coat of gray primer. The bumper was bolted in place, and the headlight now focused more or less on the road.

While driving back to the hotel where we were staying awaiting assignment to base housing, I discovered the front seat bracket was broken, causing the seat to crash forward when applying the brakes, and slam rearward on acceleration. It was like riding a jerky roller coaster, first crashing into the dashboard with my knees up under my chin, and then holding onto the steering wheel for dear life to keep from winding up in the back seat.

I fixed it by jamming a piece of two-by-four into the seat bracket. It was still holding when I left the island two years later.

It wasn’t all bad. Since the engine was in back, we filled the front trunk compartment with ice and beer whenever we went to the beach.

When I was reassigned, I took the car back to the lot where I had bought it only to find it dust blown and empty. The night before leaving Hawaii, I parked it on the base with the title and a note telling whoever found it could keep it.

Cluttered chaos

FROM THE BACKSHOP Let’s make it local every single day In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday. The company says it did so to help businesses with their most pressing need: getting more customers. The day happens every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and encourages people to shop at the small businesses that help write the story of America. Nov. 29th’s event brought mixed reviews from shopkeepers locally. As we close in on Christmas, and there remains shopping to be done, we asked ourselves, “Why only Small Business Saturday? Why not Small Business Every Day?” Despite whatever rhetoric you may hear coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., small businesses comprise the backbone of enterprise in this great nation.

For every national baked-goods chain, there are thousands of mom-and-pop storefronts waiting to serve you, almost all with homecooked, made-from-scratch servings. And for every major muffler outlet, there are scores of corner garages everywhere ready, willing and able to fix what ails your vehicle. And for every Fashion Earring and Doodad Shop International, there exist many one-off gift shops with unique offerings designed, crafted and packaged – GASP! – in the United States. So, it should be Small Business Every Day. Consider that as make your list and check it twice. Go ahead and make the pilgrimage to the mall or the big-box retailer, but add to your itinerary one or more of the locally owned businesses, where you actually can find gifts not available in Walla Walla, Wash., and where you truly can make a difference for those who receive as much as those who sell. And when you hand over your cash for the items you’ve chosen, give yourself credit for helping the economy at a very local-local level. The merchants will thank you sincerely, and you’ll have done a very good deed. And you don’t need to wait until the Saturday after next Thanksgiving to do it. Now, if we could only find someone to wrap these gifts we’ve bought.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

A biased bias

Commentary by Terry Anker

We, each of us humans, look at the world through our own eyes. Naturally, how could we do it any other way? But as such, all stimuli is received and perceived from our own unique perspective. We assume that what we see is what is actually there. Our senses collect data and deliver it to our brains. Which in turn, assesses the information and produces a concept of the matter. Based upon experience, comparison and extrapolation, we move forward confident that our perception is reality. Moreover we assume that if given similar data, other reasonable people would come to similar, if not identical, outcomes.

But in practice, we all bring our own unique mechanical and cognitive ability to the assessment. In short, we do not agree. While enjoying a good book on a Sunday afternoon, my lovely bride is routinely covering me with a blanket.

“Why,” say I, “are you doing this?” She has determined the room to be cold and assumes that I

must perceive it the same way. Ordinarily, I do not. In fact, I find the room almost too warm – certainly too much for a lap throw. How could we both, healthy and long-married adults, be confronted with the same data and yet arrive at such vastly different outcomes? Is one of us wrong? Is there an empirical device that could unequivocally settle our dispute? If the thermostat read 70 degrees is this hot or cold?

Ferguson is now, and will forever be, marred by the tragedy that occurred there. Perhaps we can agree on this assessment. But who is to blame and who is the victim? What does our own bias bring us to believe? Are we witnessing protests, riots or terrorists activity? Can we ever hope to avoid our biased bias? Can anyone?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

– Mark Twain

Zebra-stripe curtains, canary-yellow walls and a purple shag rug? Sounds cool, but what else? How about an anole terrarium, an oak trophy case and a multi-colored hydra lamp?

Okay, I’m listening. And for the finishing touches, let’s throw in a nail polish stained used-tobe-white carpet, plaster the place with posters of various “Dance Moms” stars and adorable kittens, and since its December, hang twinkle lights and fake garland from corner to corner.

Sold! The perfect bedroom for a 10-year-old girl.

It’s also the absolute worst nightmare for a working mom who can’t tolerate clutter, crazy or catastrophic levels of cuteness. And yet every night I’m forced to enter said bedroom to tuck my youngest in to bed. Psychedelic sights, sounds and vaguely-recognizable smells assault my every sense as I cautiously make my way to her, careful not to step on stray pins, discarded Skittles, lip gloss and an everlasting assortment of cowgirl boots, tap shoes and plastic flip-flops.

Frankly it’s a miracle I haven’t seriously injured myself or come down with a nasty bug. And don’t even get me started about the number of clothes she’s purchased/collected/ hoarded. If she’s not spending her chore money at Ulta Beauty Supply, you can be sure she’s buying yet another graphic tee at Delia’s. Plus she has all her big sister’s handme-downs and several self-made ensembles.

Did I mention there’s a sewing machine and mannequin squeezed into the space between the bathroom door and dresser? Both are hard to see as they are usually covered with bolts of lime-green polka dot fleece and burgundy corduroy. My daughter goes through a “fashion designer” phase about every six months!

Compounding the insanity, the room is only 10x10. I may be poking fun at my little drama queen, but I can’t argue against her extraordinary gift for maximizing space. Supposedly a desk and chair reside in there too, though I haven’t seen either in about three months.

Supposedly she also houses vast collections of Moshi monster toys, make-up and hair accessories amidst the décor, but again, I couldn’t say exactly where.

No matter. My only goals are to ensure she doesn’t set the place on fire and that no dairy products are left to congeal. I’m actually quite proud of my tolerance level concerning her room, which of course is based entirely on the requirement that her door remain closed. And when I must enter, I just make sure to kill the lights first to minimize any adverse physiological reactions on my part. This is, after all, not my place of refuge, but that of a 10-year-old girl.

Peace out.

Toast of the town Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We needed a new toaster, but Mary Ellen was afraid I’d purchase one that looked like that Scion car. So we went shopping together humor and soon had a shiny new addition to our kitchen counter.

I opened the box and was about to discard the directions, confident that even I could master this simple device, knowing the basic premise of toasting hasn’t changed much over the years. As I discovered, the instructions are apparently for folks who are first-time buyers. To them, this is the greatest invention since sliced bread. In fact, this was the next invention after sliced bread.

The first page of the booklet is a diagram that points out some of the nifty features of the appliance. Numbered one to five, there are arrows pointing at buttons labeled: 1. Toast Lever 2. Bagel 3. Frozen 4. Cancel 5. Toast Shade If you didn’t have this diagram, you would have to look on the actual buttons—which clearly say: Lever, Bagel, Frozen, Cancel and Toast Shade. The toast shade button is a bit misleading since all the shades are basically tan. I think the manufacturer should make that clear.

Mary Ellen and I tried the toaster. We put in two slices and slowly pushed the lever down. So

far, so good. We had set the shade for medium, so when the toaster started sending up smoke signals, we quickly pushed the cancel button… but nothing happened.

One part of the instructions makes it very clear that first you load the toast, then you press down and lock the lever in place. This load and lock method by Black & Decker is a little different from the lock and load method popularized by Smith & Wesson.

Black & Decker wants you to know that the cord on your appliance is intentionally short because if it is too long, you could become entangled in it and trip. So, if you are running an extension cord from your garage through the living room and into the kitchen to connect the toaster, well, you’ve been warned.

Black & Decker also makes it clear that “the use of accessory attachments” is not recommended. Good advice for people who were going to hook up the toaster to their iPad or printer.

They also warn against using the toaster for anything other than its intended purpose. So don’t think of heating your upstairs guestroom with 10 of these, sadly.

New IMA exhibit curated by Carmel resident

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

The Indianapolis Museum of Art’s exhibition “Georgia O’Keeffe and the Southwest Still Life” is now open, and Carmel resident Harriet art Warkel couldn’t be more excited.

“I was thrilled when they asked me back,” Warkel said during a recent walk through the exhibit.

Warkel was formerly the curator of American Art for the IMA for 26 years. Then, this year she was asked to return as guest curator for the “Southwest” exhibit.

Although the exhibit, which will go on tour nationally after its run in Indianapolis, focuses on many of O’Keeffe’s famous pieces that were crafted in New Mexico, Warkel said that if anyone only comes to see O’Keeffe’s works they would be “missing the whole point.” “[O’Keeffe] loved the Southwest,” Warkel said.

“The east was becoming industrialized and artists were looking for something unique to paint.”

Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Jimson Weed” painting is owned by the IMA, and is also on display in the new exhibit. (Submitted photo)

The time period that Warkel speaks of is the md-1900s when a flood of New York City artists, well established in their fields, broke free from the sky rises and landed in New Mexico, many

who helped to start the Taos Society of Artists.

O’Keeffe herself once said: “Once I saw New Mexico, that was mine.” Not all artists stayed in New Mexico, but for O’Keeffe she loved it enough to eventually build two homes there. By the time her husband died in the 1940s, New Mexico was her permanent residence.

While in the Southwest, O’Keeffe focused mainly on painting her well-known flowers, however she did dabble in architectural pieces and striking images of bones. Other artists, whose works are also on display at the IMA, painted Hispanic and Native American images.

The exhibit is available for public viewing until Feb. 15.

Warkel, who is a member of Carmel’s art council and is an artistic jewelry maker herself, said she hopes Carmel residents come out to see the exhibit.

“We are an art city,” she said of Carmel. “And the IMA has so much to offer, not far from Carmel.”

Note: Fresh thyme is more pungent and aromatic than the dry variety. Don’t use more than what the recipe asks for; the strong flavor of this herb can easily overwhelm.

Maple-glazed veggies Ingredients: • 2 tablespoons butter • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into matchsticks • 1 pound parsnips, peeled and sliced into matchsticks • 2 tablespoons maple syrup • 1/2 cup orange juice • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, • finely ground unrefined sea salt Directions: Melt the butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat.

Make a toast at the Prairie

By Dawn Pearson news@currentzionsville.com In need of a Hot Toddy due to holiday stress?

If so grab some christmas friends and party back in time at Connor Prairie during the annual adults-only “Holiday Cheers” festive event from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Dec. 18.

Inside, guests can tour the Gingerbread Village, featuring works of arts by professionals and amateurs. Outside, guests will experience Indiana as it was back in 1836 as residents of Prairietown get ready for the holidays.

“This part of the program allows guests to step back in time and witness what is was like during the holidays in 1836,” Duane Brodt, director of public relations for Conner Prairie, stated.

Guests will enjoy an evening of hors d’ouevres, wine and local craft beer before heading out for a candlelight stroll through 1836 Prairietown to experience how various holidays were celebrated in the past.

“We have added many adult-oriented programming recently, primarily events that focus on unique, farm-to-

table dining experiences offered by local gourmet food artisans, craft beer and wine events and other opportunities for adults to get together and socialize at Conner Prairie,” Brodt stated.

“The ‘Holiday Cheers’ crowd is a young professionals group while others draw adults of all ages, some of whom have never been to Conner Prairie and others who haven’t been here in a while since raising their children.”

Vendors for the evening include Matt the Millers, Brown County Winery, Bear Wallow Distillery, Indiana Whisky Co., Scarlet Lane, Union Brewing Co., Sun King Brewery and Smoking Goose Meatery. “’Holiday Cheers’ is a chance for young professionals and other adults to enjoy great food, drinks and socializing before taking in the scenes of Conner Prairie during the holidays,” Brodt stated.

“Holiday Cheers” is supported by the Conner Prairie Horizon Council, the organization’s young professionals group.

Advance sale tickets are $35 a person and can be purchased at connerprairie.org. Tickets will also be available at the door but space is limited.

For more information, call 776-6000.

Holiday Recipes Stuffed Leg of Lamb with Balsamic-Fig-Basil Sauce

Luscious Eggnog

Ingredients: 1/2 cup coarsely chopped prunes. 1/4 cup currants. 2 tablespoons creme de cassis liqueur. 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary. 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme. 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander. 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. 1 (4 pound) boneless leg of lamb, rolled and tied. 1/2 cup chopped roasted and salted almonds. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint. 3 cloves garlic, cut into thirds. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar. 5 tablespoons butter. 3 tablespoons honey. 1/3 cup thinly sliced, stemmed Calimyrna figs. 5 teaspoons chopped fresh basil.

6 leaves mint. 6 leaves basil.

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the chopped prunes and currants with the creme de cassis in a small bowl, and set aside. In another small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, coriander, salt, and pepper; set aside. Untie and unroll the lamb, lay it out flat on the work surface. Trim off excess fat, and cut any thick parts open so that it is evenly thick and somewhat rectangular in shape. Sprinkle half of the herb mixture over the lamb. Mix the almonds and chopped mint into the prune mixture; spread evenly over the lamb. Roll up starting at one of the short sides, and tie with kitchen twine in 1-inch intervals. Cut 9 slits about 1-inch deep into the top of the lamb, and insert a slice of garlic in each. Rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining herb mixture. Place lamb seam-side up on a rack set in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven to desired doneness. For medium-rare, a thermometer inserted into the center will read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove lamb from the oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes while proceeding with the recipe. While the lamb is resting, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil until the vinegar has reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes.

Once reduced, stir in the butter, honey, and sliced figs. Stir until the butter has melted, then remove from the heat, stir in the chopped basil and set aside. To serve, remove the twine from the lamb and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange on a warm serving platter and drizzle with the fig sauce, garnish with mint and basil leaves.

Planning for the future

Commentary by Joel Harris

One of the most frequent questions I get in my practice is, “how much of my pre-retirement spending should I plan on finance budgeting in retirement?” The answer will vary widely based on the countless articles available online and in financial magazines. In my experience as a Financial Advisor, 9 retirees out of 10 will spend 100 percent of what they were spending in retirement. I find this especially true in the first seven to 10 years of retirement because most people pick up new hobbies, travel, eat out more often and spend money on their grandchildren.

Here are a few other reasons why most retirees will end up spending 100 percent of their preretirement expenses in retirement.

Inflation – Inflation is the silent killer of money.

Most people start getting really serious about their retirement planning in their mid 50s. One of the most commonly misunderstood risks in retirement planning is inflation. Most Americans think in terms of the value of a dollar “today” versus the value of a dollar “tomorrow.” Take Jim and Jane for example. They’re annual expenses run around $90,000 per year, which includes mortgage payments of approximately $18,000 per year. Their goal is to pay off their home and retire in 10 years. When you subtract the mortgage out of their annual expenses, you get $72,000.

Will their expenses be $72,000 when they retire

in 10 years? More than likely not because those expenses will balloon to approximately $96,700 if inflation averages 3 percent per year.

Every Day is a Saturday – I heard this phrase from a very astute mentor during my early years in the business. I used to listen to him speak about estate and financial planning, and the most important question he asked the audience was, “what day of the week do you spend the most money?”

After the audience got done laughing for a few seconds, it dawned on them that they spend the most money on Saturday. Well folks – every day in retirement is a Saturday. Most retirees will have a lot of free time on their hands. Guess what happens when you have more time on your hands? You tend to spend more money. I’ve seen it time and time again, so plan accordingly.

Underestimating Healthcare Expenses – In a 2014 study conducted by Fidelity, a 65-yearold couple will spend an average of $220,000 to cover medical expenses during retirement.

Healthcare costs are one of the most under estimated expenses retirees calculate in their retirement planning.

Vision problem has wide impact Commentary by Tammy Wittmann, O.D.

Is your child achieving in everything except school?

If this sounds like your child, he or she may be struggling with a vision problem eyesight that is not detected by reading a vision chart. It impacts learning and is known as convergence insufficiency.

CI affects vision, reading and comprehension.

When someone has CI, he or she is not able to easily focus on near tasks for very long. There is an attempt to focus on the near task (for example, reading, math homework, timed tests), but quickly find they cannot concentrate and/ or physically focus on that task. Does this sound like your child?

Most people with CI don’t know they have it, and CI doesn’t go away with age. It is not detected in a standard eye exam or eye screening by reading a standard eye chart. Most kids, in fact, have 20/20 vision.

If you ask them if they can see, they say they can. But the most common symptoms of CI are: • Difficulty concentrating.

• Difficulty reading.

• Sleepiness.

• Tired eyes.

• Overlapping words.

• Headaches.

Most will have perhaps only a few of these symptoms because the child has learned to adapt. And please be forewarned: ADHD is the most common misdiagnosis. Too, many children with CI have lower self-esteem, and they tend to believe headaches are just part of life.

There is a cure for CI. The first step is having your child evaluated by an eye doctor who tests for the condition. Not all do. It is not part of a standard eye examination. Secondly, once the diagnosis is made, there are corrective therapies available.

If you believe your child may be suffering from CI, call your vision specialist and ask to have him or her evaluated for CI. The specialist will be able to recommend proper therapy if needed.

Be conscious in the cold Commentary by David Dunham We tend to go through the motions until we face conflict, injury or when our safety becomes in jeopardy or threatened. It’s typically at this time when we become mentally fitness or physically conscious of our environment or the actions we are taking. However, if we are always being mindful in both the mental and physical capacity, we can adapt very quickly to change and make decisions that are both safe and practical.

For example, when the surface of the ground changes or the temperature changes and the ground freezes, many of us will drive or walk on the surface as if there was no change until we encounter an imbalance or a safety concern.

This lack of awareness is also the cause of many physical injuries.

We tend to move, lift, carry, throw, sit, walk, run or climb improperly until we get injured or

sore from inefficient movement. At which time we either become more conscious of our physical movements, or we convince ourselves to not be physically active because of the pain we have from not being conscious of our movements or environments. Learning proper joint stability, balance, strength and mobility can help strengthen movement skills at any age. We can learn how to become effective in any activity or movement that we perform with our minds and bodies.

Helpful tips: 1. Be conscious of oneself, others and the changing environment(s) 2. Take time in outdoor activities and check surfaces before running or walking.

Cape Town’s Table Mountain from Company’s Garden. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Cape Town: Beauty and Brains Commentary by Don Knebel

Cape Town, the second largest city in South Africa, is picturesquely nestled between Table Bay and Table Mountain. Especially Travel on days when a cloud layer known locally as the “table cloth” hovers above its iconic flat-topped mountain, Cape Town is a contender for the most naturally beautiful city in the world. It is also a wonderfully sophisticated city; the equal of any in Europe.

The intellectual center of Cape Town is the Company’s Garden, originally used by the Dutch East India Company in the 1650s to grow food for resupplying ships on their way back from India after rounding the Cape of Good Hope. Today, the area is filled with historic statues, immaculately maintained gardens and plenty of over-fed squirrels. Nearby are the Houses of the South African Parliament, the National Library, a planetarium and world-class museums.

The Slave Lodge Museum, in a building that once housed slaves adjacent to the Company’s Garden, recounts a dark side of the garden’s history. Some of the Dutch ships picking up supplies dropped off Hindu slaves sold by their Muslim captors to Christian slave traders.

The Iziko South African Museum is located at the south end of the Company’s Garden. Founded in 1825, it has become one of the world’s finest museums of natural history, housing more than 1.5 million items, including a 70-feet long skeleton of a blue whale hung from the ceiling. The collection of fossils and skeletons illustrating biological evolution is particularly extensive and insightful.

The sign accompanying a very rare skeleton of a lobed-finned fish closely related to the likely progenitor of all four-legged animals acknowledges that “it is difficult to believe that our very distant ancestors were fish similar to the coelacanths.”

The sign next to the skeleton of Homo sapiens at the end of the evolutionary trail seems especially apt: “The only primate that presents a biological threat to the Earth, and to itself.”

Cape Town, with a metropolitan population of almost four million, led the “New York Times” 2014 list of top places to visit. If Cape Town is not on your list of cities to visit, it should be.

Commentary by David Decker

Zero-threshold showers

Shower designs have undergone major changes over the past couple of years. Standard construction plans have fallen indoors by the wayside as homeowners look for ways to make showers both practical and luxurious. If you are looking for a way to update your showering space, a zero-threshold shower can add a contemporary and sleek touch to your bathroom design.

A threshold refers to the ledge or sill that generally encases the shower. The threshold is intended to keep water spills inside the shower, so that flooding doesn’t occur. Zero-threshold showers were rarely constructed in homes, because they were considered a convenience for people with limited mobility. The lack of a curb makes the shower more accessible and easy to use. Today, aging-in-place designs have gained popularity, and open spaces are being seen as more modern.

Without a ledge or threshold, the shower has a look of continuous tile. Both of these consumer preference shifts have set the stage for zerothreshold showers to grow in popularity.

Adding a zero-threshold shower requires some preplanning, especially when it comes to the shower pan or base so that no flooding occurs. The length and depth of the shower are also important factors that will control the water flow. If the depth of the shower is not sufficient, your shower could spill. It will also be difficult for

homeowners in wheelchairs to access, which limits the accessibility of the shower. Five-byfive-feet is the smallest shower area recommended for wheelchair use.

In terms of the flooring, you will likely want to tile the entire bathroom to create that seamless design that has become synonymous with modern design. Shower doors are optional depending on the size of the shower. Shower areas must slope to the drain. This can require significant construction on the floor, but it will definitely keep your bathroom from developing a standing water problem.

The walls of a zero-threshold shower will need to be made from tile or another water-proof mate-

rial. Anything else could be damaged from the moisture. As for the door, showers with zero-threshold sit directly on the floor. This means that the door may need to be specially ordered or designed. Keep that in mind as you budget out your project.

A zero-threshold shower can improve the look of your bathroom, in addition to improving accessibility that’s integral to aging in place.
