It is our position while the Indiana Depart-ment of Education no longer requires cursive handwriting to be included in elementary school curriculum, good pen-manship and knowledge of cursive is still a valued lesson.

Indiana is among 46 states following the recommendations of a national Com-mon Core Curriculum that is placing emphasis on teaching proficient keyboarding in the classroom over perfecting handwriting. While typing is an important life skill in the information age, it should not be the sole method of communicating. The most obvious question is, how will future generations sign their names? Didn’t an “X” carved in stone die with the cavemen? What a shame a handwritten note from a grandparent, a person from another country or even our nation’s own Declara-tion of Independence won’t be able to be read by future generations.

Handwriting is much more than a communications tool. It is part of one’s personality and artistic expression - a personal signature, if you will. Ironically, even though we are living in an era of technological advance-ment that enables more personalization than ever before, a dichotomy of desensitization is also being created by muffling the human voice, and now, eliminating handwritten expression.

Don’t write off cursive Raise my taxesIt is our position to find additional sources of

revenue necessary to eliminate the national debt. Some of that additional revenue should come from the elimination of cor-porate giveaways and some of that additional revenue should come from the most fortunate among us, including some of us here in Hamilton County.

The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform says the national debt crisis is the most predictable crisis we have ever faced. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, testified in front of Congress that the national debt is the greatest threat to national security our country currently faces. We must immediately put our country on a path towards the elimination of the national debt and increasing revenue is a necessary piece of that path.

If the reduced spending currently being discussed eliminates $2 trillion of our national debt over the next ten years, where will the remaining $12 trillion come from? Certainly, all fonts should be considered, but reason-able policy must include the highest earners in addition to the much broader base of Americans. Entitlement reform and restricted revenue must walk together. With significant reductions in debt interest expense, permanent tax elimination and reform becomes more likely.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.

You may think a courtroom is your only option to resolve your family law case, but in this conference room, you have more con-trol over the decisions affecting your family, your children and your property. Litigation alternatives such as collaborative law and mediation have proven significantly less costly, financially and emotionally. At Harden Jackson Law, our experienced team of attorneys can discuss all of your options with you.

Seven years ago Aug. 18, Officer Timothy “Jake” Laird lost his life in the line of duty for the Indianapolis Police Dept. Next Tues-day his parents, Hamilton County residents Mike and Debbie, along with members of the Westfield Police Dept., will play host to the second-annual Jake Laird Community Appreciation Day from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Ameriana Bank, Ind. 32 and Carey Road. What a fitting salute to the memory of a public servant. Please join the activities, which include food and fun. (More informa-tion on the event is elsewhere in today’s edi-tion). Along those lines (stay with us here), we applaud the Westfield Farmers Market for hosting a patriotic day earlier this month. It was right before the Fourth of July. It got us thinking about the whole issue of patrio-tism, and, really, shouldn’t every day be one of patriotism? Look at the freedoms we enjoy (the freedom to pay taxes notwithstanding), and then think about why we enjoy them. It’s easy to have pride in one’s nation when one considers the public-service personnel and armed forces that put their lives on the line around the clock so we may enjoy such freedom. If you believe that’s an overused

phrase or a cliché, that’s fine. It’s also your right to imagine our nation, state, county or city as defenseless entities. That thought makes us shudder. And that’s why joining with Westfield’s finest to salute the memory of a fallen comrade would be a fine decision.

COMMEntaRYBy terry anker

Eric Howard is a rare breed of man. He is the kind of a guy, singular of mission and fo-cus, who produces results in areas where many would fail to find faith. Through the local not-for-profit he leads, Outreach (www.outreachin-diana.org) carries the tagline hope for homeless youth. He and his crew have managed, in a land-scape more challenged by difficult economic realities and pervasive collapse of the family unit, to deliver more than hope.

As one might expect, there are horrific con-sequences for teenagers who find themselves by circumstance or design to be on the street and without home or family. The things many of these kids do to survive – literally to stay alive – are not fit to print in a family newspaper. Yet Outreach takes a pragmatic approach to the lot. In a self-published book, Awakening: Stories of Hope, the organization tells the tales of young people who, strive to pull themselves from despair to overcome major obstacles. Un-like the split second sound bites and apocryphal accounts of MTV, this all-too-real world is filled with failure as much as it is triumph.

I learned of Anthony, struggling to complete an education. Then there’s Brandon who met his father (and learned of his 10 siblings) in one day only to be abandoned by him again the next.

Alana is resisting cultural pressure to have babies young and out of wedlock. Lamar moved to the street while finishing high school so his single mother’s limited resources could be divided upon his junior siblings. There are many among us who rely upon the kindness of strangers and are vulnerable to the exploitation of the wicked. For those able to follow, Outreach lights a path to a different and better kind of life.

STORIES OF HOPE

STOR

IES OF H

OPE

THE yOung PEOPlE FEaTuRED on these

pages laid bare their lives to expose an all

but invisible aspect of homelessness for the

people of Central Indiana and beyond.

They have graciously, candidly, unabashedly

told their stories so that we might witness, in

some small way, a side of life with which few

of us are familiar.

Some of us, upon hearing the word

“homeless,” picture only a grizzled, debilitated

man huddled over a steam grate. These

stories cause us to rethink our preconceived

notions.

Some of us think homelessness is somehow

invited or deserved. These stories illustrate

why we are mistaken.

Some of us think that homelessness equates

hopelessness. These stories show us that

hope stays alive, even in the most trying

times.

Some of us may think that homelessness is

not our problem. These stories beseech us to

change our minds.

Each of these stories captures a moment

in time. That is unavoidable whenever

an interview is conducted and a story is

composed, whether it is memorialized in

a personal journal, a daily newspaper or a

book. But the permanence of the written word

is particularly striking when juxtaposed with

the impermanence of the subjects’ lives. For

homeless young people, lives change minute

to minute, circumstances are fluid, futures

are never certain.

And of course, the lead time needed to create

and publish a book may mean that much will

have changed by the time a reader turns

the pages. For these reasons, we chose to

freeze our subjects in time, to relate their

circumstances, including their age, at the

exact moment that each sat for an interview.

That means that, at times, you will be left

wondering how a situation was resolved.

We can think of no better way to illustrate

the uncertainty and insecurity of life as a

homeless young person. outreachindiana.org

Guess who got to take a cardiac stress test? Yours truly, that’s who. Some background first:

I’ve been having these weird heart palpita-tions for about a year now. When I first noticed them, I was living with my in-laws, interviewing for jobs and trying to buy a house. Naturally, I assumed they were stress-related.

By the fall, life had started to settle, but I continued to experience, what felt like, missed heartbeats periodically. My next thought was my thyroid, so I scheduled an appointment with my endocrinologist. Everything was fine on that end, but she did suggest I cut back on caffeine. I took her advice, but no dice.

Teaching, lounging, driving, it didn’t seem to matter; I would occasionally experience a noticeable pause in my heartbeat. So I finally decided to call in the big dogs. “There are about 50 things that could be causing these palpa-tions,” the cardiologist said, “and about 10 of them could kill you. Let’s rule those out first.” Yes. Let’s. Back to live action:

I show up for my stress test in “comfortable clothing,” confident I will make someone’s day with an outstanding performance. But I have to climb three sets of stairs due to malfunctioning elevators, and I am already breathing hard when I check in. No worries. Just treat it like a warm-up, I think.

I receive a hospital wrist band then ushered to

a room when I’m joined by two women, one an RN who will monitor my BP and EKG, and the other a technician who will run the ultrasound equipment. She proceeds to attach a dozen wires to my naked chest with an adhesive that stings so badly I initially think I am being electrocuted.

After some baseline readings, I hop on the tread-mill and begin. My nurse tells me she will slowly, but consistently increase both the speed and in-cline until I reach my target heart rate of 180. If I get too tired (or collapse) before that, I am to stop immediately. Naively, I estimate 30 to 40 minutes before I get there. Ha. 12 minutes later, clutching the handrail for dear life, I surrender with a max heart rate of only 165. I quickly lie down and at-tempt to hold my breath so the tech can perform a post-test ultrasound. As I fight hyperventilation, I cannot believe I only made it twelve stinkin’ min-utes! Is there something wrong? Or is it just I’m a bit plusher than I thought? I drive home ponder-ing worst-case scenarios.

But nay, this is not my time. The stress test came back negative, and my EKG’s were nor-mal. Apparently, it’s just my ego that’s a little on the unhealthy side. Peace out.

By lindsay EckertCurrent in Westfield

The life of a fallen officer is living on in the spirits of local communities. Officer Jake Laird’s life was stolen in a shooting while on duty as an Indianapolis Police Department officer in 2004.

Jake Laird exemplified heroism as a man who dedicated and sacrificed his life to serve his com-munities and country; he served in the Marines for 12 years before working as an Indianapolis police officer for more than four years.

Seven years after his death, his parents, Mike and Debbie Laird, have raised more than $250,000 as part of the Jake Laird Memorial fund. Mike Laird said he and his wife have organized community days, golf tournaments, fundraisers and events to give back to police departments that honor their duties as officers, just like their son.

“We wanted to create the fund to keep Jake’s memory alive, we use donations to help police de-partments establish new programs, overcome cases of hardships and assist injured officers,” Laird said.

During the years, the fund has also helped the Indianapolis Police Department and surrounding cities’ departments interact with their communities.

Westfield Police Department’s Assistant Chief Scott Jordan said events like Community Days help the community know the people behind the badges of service.

“Community days enable positive interactions with area residents, it helps people get to know officers as people and get to know us outside of

the core duties we’re focused on,” Jordan said. Nearly two weeks before the anniversary of

Officer Laird’s death, his parents will help West-field host their second annual Community Day Tuesday, August 2. Mike Laird said it’s a way to connect police officers with the members of the community they serve.

“It’s all about the word community, and po-lice are part of that,” Laird said. “We want the police and the community to be one with one; especially with the kids, reaching young minds early helps.”

This year’s Community Day will allow kids and residents to see some of the ways officers perform their duties each day.

“We’ll be able to meet people and share in-formation about our jobs and department they may not know,” Jordan said. “Our K-9 team will be doing demonstrations with their dogs and we’ll have our vehicles on display for people to go through and see our equipment.

The event won’t be short on food and more fun for the kids. Westfield Police will provide hotdogs, popcorn and a chance to cool down with a snow cone. Kids can jump in a bounce house and visit a booth for their own air brush tattoos.

The Community Day will take place in front of the Ameriana Bank in Westfield Marketplace at State Road 32 and Carey street from 5 to 8 p.m. August 2.

Current in WestfieldA local organization is breaking down the

walls of separation between social status, gov-ernment and education to unite people and show compassion to others. Faith Hope and Love International (FHL) is a ministry to in-mates that helps prepare them for a life outside of bars and takes a hands-on approach to get-ting former prisoners on a road clear of crime.

The program was founded seven years ago to develop the founder, Merlin Gonzoles’, vision into a reality. Today, FHL serves as a facilitator to jail ministries and former inmates; creating active opportunities for community involve-ment and helping people in need.

The program’s leaders said FHL succeeds on a foundation of community members and leaders who work together to pinpoint and meet the specific needs within their own com-munities. Each group works autonomously with guidance from FHL.

FHL event organizer, Celeste Hoble-man, said building a work environment that supports a strong work ethic in families is important.

“There will be different projects. Some proj-ects will need skilled labor, carpentry, masonry etc. Other projects will be more family ori-ented,” she said. “We are hoping to have some-

thing for the children too. It was suggested the children could paint flower pots and pass them out to neighbors.”

FHL said they have set and achieved big goals with their program, but now they’re tak-ing on the role as trailblazers to create a new mentoring and support group for inmates. FHL is teaming up with Jehoshua House, a ministry to inmates that focuses on helping them find housing, jobs and transportation after jail. The mentor group will utilize Hamil-ton County as its pilot county.

Hobleman said Hamilton County will serve as a model to expand the program to other counties.

“We get inmates plugged into small ‘Prayer and Share’ groups, to offer support with continued mentoring,” she said. “Hamilton County is the pilot county and we’d like to see this model functioning in all the counties, to help with recidivism.”

The program will host a Community Cook-Out KickOff, July 23 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Christ Community Church in Westfield Washington Township.

You can learn more about the program and its upcoming events by visiting www.Jehoshua-House.org

Imagine, you’re a grammar columnist, and after several years of slaving over witty weekly instructions for better, more correct writing and speaking, you hear the following country-song lyrics at a demolition derby:

You don’t love me no good no more.Deep breathing, meditation and yoga help

me get through times like these.The funniest thing is by increasing the tooth-

gnashing, horrifying, ridiculousness of the dou-ble negative into a triple negative, though still grammatically nightmarish (I have hives from typing it), the construction actually says what it means to say.

Double negatives, like Mick Jagger’s, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” not only sound clunky, but they also say exactly the opposite of what they intend. By saying you can’t get no satisfaction, you’re actually saying you fail to lack satisfac-tion: in reality, you’re satisfied.

But when another negative is added to the bunch, it’s like a mathematical equation. Two

negatives make a positive, but a third negative makes a negative again.

Let’s look at that awful lyric again. If you stop after the double negative (you don’t love me no good), the singer is literally saying his lover loves him well (in a not-so-grammatical way). But, when you get to the third negative, the meaning shifts again, back to the intended (sort of ) mes-sage. She loves him well no longer.

I am by no means promoting the use of the triple negative as a way to say what you mean. It’s a terrible, awkward construction. It’s much easier to say, “You don’t love me well anymore,” or, “You love me badly now.” It’s perhaps not as lyrical (at least in country music), but it’s defi-nitely easier, more logical and correct.

Remember, next time you’re feeling your work goes noticed, just be thankful country music isn’t taunting you.

You don’t love me no good no more

Some of Westfield’s most powerful voices may be lying still in two of the town’s oldest cemeteries, but their legacy of build-ing a community lives on in the streets of Westfield and in the hearts of its people. On Friday, August 5 the Westfield Parks and Recreation will bring some of the first Midwesterners voices to life in a Voices from the Past Heritage Walk through histori-cal cemeteries.

Westfield Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Stephanie Fix said the first-time event connects the community with its history and historical figures who may not be all that different from themselves.

“The Heritage Walk helps people realize the history of their city, it highlights the cemetery parks our founding fathers built for their families and religious followers,” Fix said. “Actors will be telling the history, but also the stories of these historical people, it’s a more personal experience that gives people a way to connect to the first Westfield residents.”

Westfield’s founding fathers are forever memorialized in Old Friends Cemetery Park and Asa Bales Cemetery Park, both located on Union street. The pioneering settlers traveled from eastern states to help slaves escape the hopeless depths of abuse and avoid the turmoil slavery caused in their daily lives. In the 1800s the group of Quakers made their way to Westfield, a new land they first named Quakertown. The Heritage Walk will trace the steps of the men and women who helped develop the underground railroad for slaves and their final homes of rest. Actors will reenact the lives and personalities of the men and women who strived to accept all humans as people, no matter what race.

Co-founder of Westfield, Simon Moon, lead his family and Quaker followers from their home in North Carolina to Wash-ington Township in 1832. It was said his family built their home the day they arrived and opened its doors as a home to anyone in need.

According to Westfield-Washington Historical society Simon Moon was quoted as saying “he and his sons broke construction the day they arrived and had a roof over their heads the next night.”

A direct descendant of Simon Moon’s Carol Daubenspeck said providing a safehouse for those in need is a hospitality trait that didn’t end with her great great great grandfather.

“There’s a long tradition in our family of putting a roof over the heads of the less fortunate, no matter how long they need a home. Our family welcomes all with love and charity,” Daubenspeck said.

The lifelong Westfield resident’s roots and kind hospitality aren’t the only thing linking her to her ancestors.

“You can see the same type of work ethic following through each generation, Simon was the first inspector in the town’s first election and I’ve been an inspector the town he founded for 10 years,” Daubenspeck said.

Although Daubenspeck described the Westfield she knows as a town where everyone says hi and is united by the sense of community, there was turmoil and division in Westfield’s early days.

The large group of Quakers who once called Washington Township home, their home was divided over their beliefs of how the destruction of slavery should be handled.

Stephanie Fix said the cemeteries show the division among the religion, the settlers and their beliefs about slavery.

“Some of the Quakers believed in fighting slavery with violence while others took a more passive approach,” Fix said. “Their difference in beliefs lead to the different parks we know today as Asa Bales Park and Old Friends Cemetery Park. Al-though they were all Quakers they met at different churches and they bought land to build separate cemeteries away from the Quakers they didn’t agree with.”

Although the Quakers had different perspectives on anti-slavery, they all shared a compassion for honesty. Daubenspeck, a former president of the Westfield Historical society, said the Quakers all represented the definition of respect.

“They developed a specific atmosphere, the Quakers were plain people but held an honesty unlike any other,” Daubenspeck said.” They were kind speaking and honored what was right, the town reflects their personalities and what they stood for, that’s the type of history that’s important for people to understand.”

Italian Pork ChopsIngredients• 4 (1 inch thick) boneless pork chops• Kosher salt and ground black pepper to

taste• 4 slices capocollo ham• 4 slices fresh Indiana tomato• 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese• 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil•Chopped fresh oregano to taste• Paprika to taste

Directions1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium direct

heat, and lightly oil the grate. 2. Rub olive oil on chops and sprinkle with

salt and black pepper, and grill until the chops are browned, and show good grill marks. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 140 to 145 degrees F.

3. Place capocollo ham, tomato, and fresh mozzarella cheese slices on each pork chop, and sprinkle with oregano and paprika; cook until the cheese has melted, about 2 more minutes. Let stand for 5 min-utes before serving. Remember, dry pork

chops come from overcooking and pork chops finished correctly are more juicy and tender. Throw out the “no pink pork” rule and substitute it with a “slightly pink is OK” attitude!

COMMENTARYBy Laura Marenco

Many of us will go to the gym and simply rush through sets, chat with the next bench neighbor and simply go through the motions to get the workout over with, big mistake! You are missing out on getting the full benefit out of the exercise and you could injure yourself.

Seems like “correct form” is almost an art when it comes to weight training; in order to reach your goals, (adding muscle, leaning down, muscle definition, etc) you must focus on the muscle you are working. This is called the mind-to-muscle connection, or what experts call it: neuromuscu-lar control or neuromuscular concentration. If you are simply going through the motions, you will not be maximizing your results.

For example, when you do a “leg extension” exercise, you need to focus on your quadriceps contracting at the top of each rep. Keep your

toes up so you can even get more out of your contraction. Hold the contraction for a count, feeling the burn and slowly bring the weight down to starting position. This method helps the body benefit from the eccentric (lengthening of the muscle) phase of the exercise.

I would highly suggest looking for pictures of the different muscle groups to be informed about what muscles you are working. Also, if you simply don’t know which exercises target certain muscles, hire a personal trainer to have an effective workout and learn proper form.

Use the mind-to-muscle connection from now on and make every workout count!

» Joint myth – Don’t believe the old wives’ tale that cracking your knuckles leads to arthritis. The cracking noise is simply the result of air bubbles popping in the synovial fluid that surrounds the joints. Motion can create these tiny bubbles, which make noise when popped. If other joints, such as your shoulder or knee, make noise when you simply move, and it’s accompanied by pain and/or swelling, it could be arthritis. But you won’t hurt yourself by cracking your knuckles. -Bottom Line Health

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as ‘the relationship.’ Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and new-borns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilari-ous revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, ‘Say, what are you doing Saturday night?’

APRIL 27-MAY 20, 2012

Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and featuring a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz, “Godspell” boasts a string of well-loved songs, led by the international hit, “Day By Day.” As the cast performs “Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord,” “Learn Your Lessons Well,” “All For The Best,” “All Good Gifts,” “Turn Back, O Man” and “By My Side,” the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and hearteningly to life.

Brand-New Luxury Apartments» Startups hurting the economy? – A new report from the Kauffman Foundation says that startups are opening their doors with fewer employees and, once they get going, are hiring fewer people, regardless of the economic climate. Kauffman says this prob-lem actually began before the recession and continues to be one of the factors dragging down the economy. Startups in the 1990s launched with an average of 7.5 employees; today, that number is 4.9.

» Cautious approach – Some investors have been adopting a cautious approach. John Toohey, vice president of equity investments at USAA Investment Management, said he’s favoring stocks in so-called defensive

sectors that are less sensitive to economic growth. Throughout the spring, health-care, consumer staples, telecommunications and utilities stocks were among the best perform-ers. “These stocks are better positioned for this sort of slow-growth environment, and we would expect that to continue,” Toohey said. He added that many companies in these sectors are still attractively valued and have room to expand their profit margins by being more productive.

Stock Tips: Dirt-cheap index funds

COMMEntaRYBy David Cain

When I was 16, I drove a truck into our house. My dad was eating a bowl of chili at the kitchen table and I put the grill of a truck through the wall within a few feet of his bowl. I remember the look he offered as I peeked through the broken wall; it was the look of defiance. Unwavering in the face of childhood mischief, he glared at the problem with no fear.

It was a stick shift truck – four on the floor as they called them. I was in the garage jumpstart-ing the truck, a trait that has mostly become a lost art. It was connected to a battery charger and I was rapidly trying to make the truck start; so, I could be off to something important – as only could be defined by a teenager. I reached in the cab of the truck and turned the key. I never imagined a stick shift in first gear could lunge forward when it turned over; however, in hindsight it seems obvious. The truck jumped forward with a reckless force that could make a kid yell, “Hell yeah!” if his father wasn’t on the other side of the wall.

This wasn’t my first experience crashing a car

in front of my dad. Before I had my license, he’d go for a walk and let me drive back and forth in the driveway. One snow covered winter, I drove his car too far up a trail, just as I felt it sliding, it tilted over a hill and wedged against a tree. I climbed through the window to escape the ter-ror and a chance of it toppling with me behind the wheel. The one fear I did not have was my dad’s reaction. I knew he’d understand. After all, he’d given me the keys.

Was there anything to learn about these car wrecks? Although these two events happened nearly 30 years ago, they still cross my mind more than I’d think. I recall the understanding of making those mistakes. I remember the latitude my dad gave me to explore and I respond to that kind of trust. I pass it along, I trust people, I let them explore and I try not to judge when they make a mistake. After all, it’s only a car.

Crash and learn

We all know that the best accessory for good style is the body under-neath the clothes. With hectic schedules and limited time, it’s hard to always get to the gym. One great way to stay motivated is to dress the part. We don’t recommend spending more time getting ready than you actually spend working out, but here are a few quick ways to workout hard and look good doing it.

FunctionWorkout clothes should always be about function. They are meant to keep you dry, covered, and supported through high intensity sweat ses-sions. Our pick for best workout tops? Lululemon’s Scoop Neck Tank. Secure Going on a long run just to realize ten minutes in that your hair is fly-ing around can lend itself to all sorts of excuses. Secure your hair back and keep it smooth with a strong hold hair spray. Here are some of the sprays we suggest:

Brocato Maximum Hold Hair Spray

Aquage Freezing Spray

Salon 01 Commit Hair Spray

Tuck your top into the shorts to show off your waist while simultaneously knocking-out onlookers with your fabu-lous legs. We like black since the high waist is bold enough on its own without having to add a belt.

For seniors looking to combat the aches and pains that come with growing older, aquatic therapy off ers a low-impact approach as simple as taking bath.

National health organizations like the Center for Disease Control and the Arthritis Founda-tion tout the benefi ts of aquatic therapy for adults suff ering from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, patients recovering from strokes, and adults who would otherwise be prevented from exercising.

According to Sally Brindle, aquatic program coordinator at the Arthur M. Glick Jewish Commu-nity Center of Indianapo-lis, a decade of teaching aquatic therapy classes has only reaffi rmed her belief in their value.

“I fell in love with the program and what it did for people,” Brindle said.

According to Brindle, two unique properties of water – buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure – are what make it perfect for many seniors.

“People who can’t walk on land often can walk in water,” Brindle said. “Your buoyancy in

the water takes the pressure off of your joints, while also acting as a natural resistance. Th e hy-drostatic pressure helps massage joints and mus-cles, and it’s very good for those with edema.”

Brindle’s students rave about aquatic therapy as well. Bob Bernard, 72, said his work in the pool keeps him fi t enough to continue his work on stage as a performer.

“I have arthritis, but I’m also an entertainer,” Bernard said. “Part of my performance includes choreography. Th e water exercise helps keep me looser so that I can do the steps required of my dance act.”

Five year class veteran Pat Pothast has joined Brindle within the last year as a certifi ed in-structor, and said her time as both student and teacher demonstrate the value of the therapy.

“I have fi bromyalgia,” Pothast said, “So my doctor recommended I take water classes. In the beginning, it was very hard, and I just felt lousy. But I just kept coming, and started feel-ing better.”

Her time spent in the pool also sped up her

recovery after surgery, Pothast said.“I have to take a steroid to keep my blood

pressure from bottoming out, but steroids de-stroy your bones,” she said. “So I had to have a

hip replacement. After that, though, I was out of bed and walking around within two days because my muscles were so strong from coming here.”

Borrowing against retirement soars – Loans against retirement plans were up overall last year, with one in seven borrowing money, according to new data from Aon Hewitt. TIAA-CREFF told Daily Finance that loans against its plans were up nearly 19 percent in 2010 from the previous year and there was a 7 percent increase in hardship withdrawals. Nearly 30 percent of all plans have a loan outstanding, the highest level in history, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Beat high blood pressure – Slow breathing and meditative practices such as qigong, yoga, and tai chi decrease stress hormones, which elevate renin, a kidney enzyme that raises blood pressure. Try � ve minutes in the morning and at night. Inhale deeply and expand your belly. Exhale and release all of your tension. The right tunes can help, too, according to researchers at the University of Florence in Italy. They asked 28 adults who were already taking hypertension pills to listen to soothing classical, Celtic, or Indian music for 30 minutes daily while breathing slowly. After a week, the listeners had lowered their average systolic reading by 3.2 points; a month later, readings were down 4.4 points.

“Stand up straight!” Th ese are words most kids have heard from our mothers. Slouching usually led to “the look” or a lecture on posture. Some children may have even been forced to practice walking with a book on your head. Well, mom does know best. Although Mom was likely con-cerned about etiquette and appearance, good posture has health benefi ts.

So try this for just a moment: sit up straight, both feet on the fl oor, pelvis tilted. Tighten your stomach muscles and feel the slight arch in the back. Now, lift your shoulders up then push them back and down, neck straight and head up with the chin slightly tucked.  Hold that – hold it, hold it…and relax. Who knew core strengthening was so simple. You can practice sitting, standing, walking, even while watching TV – and it doesn’t take any extra time out of your day or special equipment. 

Oh sure, roll your eyes. How can something so simple make a diff er-ence? Good posture helps breathing and oxygen is a good thing. Plus, it helps with circulation. Following mom’s advice, can help anti-aging and can even drop some pounds. Straightening up trims you down? When the shoulders droop an additional 20 pounds is tacked on- 10 pounds from your head. I’m sure mom is saying “told you so” right about now.

It’s a myth our posture has to go the way of gravity as we age, but we have to straighten up if we want to continue to be able to straighten up! You don’t have to practice perfect posture every waking moment, but try incorporating a little into your daily routine. It’s an exercise you can do seven days a week, it costs no time or money, and the more you do it the easier it gets. Plus, Mom would be proud.

So at the risk of sounding like your mother, straighten up! You might be surprised.  Turns out looking good really can make you feel good.

As a registered investment advi-sor, Steve Orr is used to juggling millions, but he knows those mil-lions started out as pennies. 

President and owner of the Orr Financial Group is knows how to turn pennies into millions and juggling fi nances.

“It’s the dollar here, two dollars there things we pick up every day that start to add up, Orr said. We only don’t see the dollars – plus the interest – we could be earning on them.”

Orr said pension funds are being wiped out; companies are canceling matching contributions to employee 401(k) programs and decreasing Social Security.

Orr who authored the book, Th e Noisemakers, (www.thenoisemak-ers.com), said everyday little im-pulse buys are robbing accounts of pennies today, but millions later.

Orr demonstrated how every-day expenses – when eliminated – can turn into big bucks down

the road.Th e daily cup of specialty coff ee

is about $3.95. A daily sip of Joe for about 40 weeks out of the year, it would cost you about $27,650 over that 35 years.

Th e formula looks like this:• Coff ee or Latte – $3.95 X 5

= $19.75 X 40 = $790 X 35 = $27,650

• Energy shot – $3.99 X 5 = $19.95 X 40 = $798 X 35 = $27,930

• Muffi n – $3 X 5 = $15 X 40 = $600 X 35 = $21,000

• Lunch – $8 X 5 = $40 X 40 = $1,600 X 35 = $56,000

“If the total amount of these items were put into a retirement investment vehicle for 35 years with a three percent interest you could have an extra $246, 560 in your retirement plan, Orr said.  

Steve Orr is the President and Owner of Orr Financial Group, a full service Registered Investment Advisor located in Victoria, Texas. Steve has been in the fi nancial industry since 1986 and has been independent since 1994.

I have worked in the health care industry for 21 years and currently serve as the community relations coordinator and admissions nurse for Riverview Hospital’s Acute Inpatient Rehabilita-tion program. One thing that I have learned during this time is that more people are in need of better information about health care and pre-paring to take care of their parents. If you think that you can put this off and fi gure it out after some life-changing event occurs, think about this: Someone that you love dearly has just experienced a life-altering event. Th ey are terrifi ed and need you there with them for support and encouragement. Now, you have to educate yourself on what their needs will be.

Will they need any equipment, or rehabilita-tion? Who will take care of their bills? Will you choose rehab, assisted living, or nursing facility? Can you get someone to stay with them so they can go home, and where do you fi nd those types of people? How much is that expense? And don’t forget that you still have your own life to manage along with all this.

Remember that knowledge is power. At this time in your life, you need as much power as

you can fi nd. I’m here to help. Th e fi rst thing you need to look at is what

type of support system you can put together. Call a meeting of family, friends, church mem-bers, neighbors, or anyone else your parents trust. Is there anyone with a medical back-ground or fi nancial expertise? Is there someone that could come in and sit with your loved one to off er supervision and friendly support? Does someone in your group have legal experience that could manage the wills or power of at-torney issues? Once you have inventoried your group for skills, make a list so you know where you still need help. Th is is your support team, and it is so much easier to fi gure everything out when you are not stressed out so that you can control this situation and not get overwhelmed.

Th is is only the fi rst of many steps in this type of planning. Take this and future articles of mine on this topic as your learning tool and start preparing your family so you can better help your family members whenever they might need you.

While you’re sweating at the gym to lose those extra fi ve pounds and fi t into your “skinny jeans,” you may not realize that your propensity for maintaining a regular exercise schedule as you age is directly related to how independent of a life you could live as an older adult.

Research suggests that older adults who ex-ercise regularly live longer, more independent lives and enjoy better long-term brain health than their non-exercising counterparts. Th e defi nition of eff ective exercise changes as people age, and knowing which exercises can help you prevent common problems associated with the aging process helps you get the most value out of your exercise program.

C.L.I.M.B. (Confi dence, Longevity, Indepen-dence, Mobility and Balance), a national well-ness program for the aging population, focuses on improving lower-body strength to impact an individual’s capacity to live independently for longer.  Th e program was recently awarded one of eight national “Best of the Best” awards by the Assisted Living Federation of America for its impact on older adults.

Gordon Benfi eld, director of member services at the Stratford in Carmel, says it is important for older adults to focus on their lower-body strength as they age, since that will also reduce their risk of falling in the future. Th e Stratford Recently implemented the C.L.I.M.B. program

as part of its wellness off erings.“Simple exercises such as chair stands and

step-ups make a big diff erence in a short period of time,” Benfi eld said.  “Better yet, you can do these exercises in the comfort of your home while using basic household items such as chairs and canned goods.”

Benfi eld recommends the following exercises for older adults:

Work up to three sets of 10 for each, with 30 seconds of rest between each exercise.

Step-Ups – Using a step in your house, step up with right foot, up with left foot, down with right foot, down with left foot.  Repeat.

Chair Stands – Using a chair in your house, cross your arms over your chest and rise to a standing position from a seated position, then back to a seated position. Repeat.

Seated Leg Extensions – From a seated posi-tion with your legs bent, extend one leg out until your knee is straight, then bend and place back on the fl oor.  Do the same with your other leg to complete one set. Repeat.

After mastering these exercises, you can carry canned goods in each hand to increase the weight resistance during the step-up and chair stand exercises.

A recent Food and Drug Administration ruling has approved the shingles vaccine, Zostavax, for people aged 50 to 59 years. Th e vaccine was already approved for ages 60 and above, but a multicenter study showed it was also eff ective for a younger age group.

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. Although varicella-zoster is part of a group of the herpes viruses, it is not the same virus that causes cold sores or genital herpes, a sexually transmitted disease.

Anyone who’s ever had chickenpox is at risk for developing shingles. After a person has recovered from chickenpox, the virus is never fully cleared from the body. Instead, it lies inactive in certain nerve cells, and can reappear as shingles years later. Th e cause for this reemergence remains unknown; however, a weakened immune system (e.g., emotional stress, other illness, certain medications, can-cer, AIDS) is thought to cause the virus to reactivate and move along nerve fi bers to the skin.

A person must already have had chicken-pox in the past in order to develop shingles. Shingles cannot be transmitted from one

person to another, and contact with someone who has chickenpox will not trigger shingles. However, a person with shingles can pass the virus to anyone who hasn’t had chickenpox (or the chickenpox vaccine); especially if there has been direct contact shingle’s the open sores. In other words, the infected person will develop chickenpox, not shingles.

Shingles can be a debilitating condition, characterized by a painful rash that often ap-pears in a band-like distribution on one side of the face or body. Although the rash generally heals within a month, severe pain and extreme sensitivity to touch persist in some cases. Th is complication, known as post-herpetic neural-gia, may last for several months or even years. Additionally, shingles in or around the eye can lead to vision loss, so this problem requires prompt medical attention. Antiviral medica-tions can help decrease its duration and the risk of complications.

Clinical trials have shown Zostavax to re-duce the risk of developing shingles by more than half in people over 60, and by 70 percent in those aged 50 to 59. Moreover, those who develop shingles despite the vaccine tend to have milder disease. Millions of Americans have had chickenpox as children meaning they are at risk for shingles; thus, should consult their doctors about getting vaccinated.

At Lambert’s Lowery Organ Center in No-blesville, an increasing number of local seniors are fi nding that learning a new instrument at this point in their lives is easier and more enjoy-able than they might have imagined.

Lambert’s off ers hour-long classes on Mon-days, Wednesdays and Saturdays to anyone – regardless of age, skill level or prior experience – who would like to learn to play the organ, or virtual orchestra, as they are commonly called today.

But seniors have especially been drawn to the classes’ low cost and friendly environment. Judy Lambert, who owns the store with her husband, said participants pay $20 for six weeks of classes and during that time are provided with an in-strument to be kept in their home for practice at no additional charge. Th e virtual orchestras even include features that allow novices to play complete songs during their fi rst lesson.

“It’s the easiest instrument to learn to play,” Lambert said. “And when you take the pressure out of learning, it makes it a lot more enjoy-able…If they play the wrong note, who cares? Th ey’re having fun.”

And that fun comes from more than play-ing music. Lambert said each class is more like a social gathering, with many of the attendees developing friendships along the way.

“It’s a great society to be in for the elderly,” said Katheryn Th ompson, 94, of Noblesville. Th ompson said she joined the class because she “wanted to live again” and has been very happy with that decision. “Th e friendships that you make here are invaluable.”

Sometimes the participants choose to take their class work outside the walls of the music store. Some of the more experienced students choose to play at nursing homes, Riverview Hospital and other places in the community.

“Th ey get out there and entertain,” Lambert said.

Lambert said she will continue to add more classes in the near future because, not only are more seniors expressing an interest in learning the instrument, but many of the students have remained in the class long past the initial six weeks.

“It opens up a whole new world for you,” said Frances King of Noblesville, one of the class’ original students.

To learn more, call 773-2002.

According to the National Aging in place Council, “an overwhelming majority of older Americans want to remain in their homes for as long as possible, but lack awareness of home and community-based services that make indepen-dent living possible.”

Th e fi rst area of consideration of modifi ca-tions can increase independence and mobility. While multi-stage ramps are one solution, sloping walkways and raised surfaces are more aesthetic options. Inside, widening doorways, hallways and stairways may become necessary to allow adequate room for moving from one space to another. Perhaps moving the master bedroom to the main would enhance the ease of daily life. Handrails, grab rails and other permanent aides become essential to getting around inde-pendently. Stair lifts, chair lifts, and even eleva-tors are now available and more economical for residential use.

Kitchens and bathrooms are often two prob-lem areas for the aging population. A little remodeling in these rooms can extend a person’s stay in their home. Installing low steps for roll-ing into showers with adequate seating and lower toilets can majorly improve independent mobility. Existing kitchens can be improved by providing places for food preparation and storage at a comfortable height. Subtle changes

in lighting and use of color can also help in making living space more pleasant and easier to navigate.

Modern monitoring technology help protect loved ones from unattended operation, and alert loved caregivers of emergency or assistance when needed. Video communications with adult chil-dren and grandchildren can improve regular con-nectivity without leaving the residence’s comfort.

In addition to home improvements, in-home community based services are making inde-pendent living more attainable. Every day new in-home services are being off ered including nursing, companion care and doctors who make house calls. Even assistants to help with pet care and daily tasks. Whatever the situation, consider the value of making necessary changes to an existing home to maximize independence and enhance daily lifestyle for years to come.

Falls and fall-related injuries are the leading cause of injury deaths among older adults. Fall-related hip fractures account for approximately 25 percent of injury deaths among those over age 65.

Among adults 70 years and older in the United States, falls are the cause of 16 percent of all emergency department visits. Risk factors associated with falls include neuropathy, ankle instability, and weakness along with other spe-cifi c acute and chronic diseases that can impact sensory and musculoskeletal systems. Other risks include:

1. Gait/ankle instability, weakness, unstable gait, osteoarthritis

2. Taking four or more medications3. Foot problems or unsafe footwear4. Blood pressure abnormalities5. Visual impairments6. Obstacles and hazards at homeResearch has shown that treating and correct-

ing these specifi c risk factors reduces the rate of falling by more than 30 percent. Postural con-trol is a modifi able factor in fall prevention. Pos-tural control can be described as the ability of a person to maintain their center of gravity over their legs, ankles and feet. Th e ability to main-

tain a stable upright posture is an important factor involving our sensory system, not only in the initiation and the control of voluntary movement, but also in the prevention of injury. Decreased postural control or increased postural sway can occur because of ankle instability and when there is a loss of normal sensation, such as in diabetes and other causes of peripheral neu-ropathy, then the risk for falls increases.

Fortunately, there are many devices that as-sist the fall-prone with walking. Other than canes and walkers, there is now a new brace, when worn on both lower extremities improves postural control and improves the time it takes these individuals in certain timed tests aimed at evaluating fall risk.

Its design allows for the elderly to easily ap-ply and remove it and fi t it into shoes without diffi culty.  It is custom made and cushioned for comfort, yet provides stability at the ankle joint and increased sensation by the patient which improves balance.  Get your fall risk assessment today. A preliminary questionnaire is available at westfi eldfoot.com  under New Patients then Patient Forms - Fall Risk Assessment Form.

COMMEntaRYBy larry greene

ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in The Woods at Wil-liams Creek neighborhood on the west side of Carmel, was built about eight years ago. The home sits facing a landscaped pond yet only had the original small elevated deck without a patio. The goal of the project was to create an environment where the homeowners could enjoy the out-doors more.

DESIGN CHANGES: The project architect reviewed several potential designs with the homeowner. The goal was to create a seam-less outdoor living space which connected the main level of the home, the elevated deck and the ground level patio sitting area.

ELEVATED DECK CHANGES: The foot print of the existing deck was expanded and new 5/4x6 cedar decking was installed with concealed fasteners. The existing railing was replaced with 2x6 cedar handrail and black aluminum Vienna Belly balusters. New 6” x 6” decorative newel posts in a Victorian profile were installed with ball tops on corner newels only. New 10” diam-eter by 96” tall tapered smooth round columns were installed to support the deck. The column bases were faced with painted brick to match the existing home and topped with decorative cast stone caps. Finally, the cedar trim and deck rail-ing was painted to match the existing house trim color and the new cedar decking was stained with a semi-transparent oil-based stain.

UNDER DECKING: The homeowner wanted to enjoy the patio space under the elevated deck without worrying about rainwater dripping down; so, we installed a Dry space under-deck drainage system. Also, adding an associated gut-ter and downspout system above the covered pa-tio space. The drainage system was covered with

painted exterior grade bead board plywood. A new ceiling fan/light was centered above the covered patio space.

NEW PATIO SITTING AREA: The project includes a new curved concrete paver patio including a path connecting the deck to the main patio area. The pavers were installed in a staggered herringbone pattern. Finally, the patio area was finished off with a new collection of outdoor wicker patio furniture.

PEtSBy John Mikesell

Owners often assume the worst about their pets’ health, but they can find reassur-ance when they consult reliable sources.

People love their four-legged friends, fret-ting over their health and wellness like any nervous parent over a child. Fido didn’t sleep well last night? He might have a gluten al-lergy. Fluffy’s meow sounds a bit off? It could be rabies.

No one wants to diminish the concern people feel for their pets- but even the most compassionate veterinarian might have a chuckle at some owners’ outlandish conclusions.

“When it comes to your pet’s health there’s no such thing as a stupid question, but be sure to seek out answers from a reliable source,” said Dr. Jules Benson , vice president of veterinary ser-vices for Petplan (Philadelphia).

Here are a few of the most common pet health myths heard by Petplan veterinary staff members.

Myth: If my dog is eating grass, it must be sick.

Truth: Dogs are not obligate carnivores and they sometimes enjoy a few blades of grass. Yes, grass can make dogs vomit. How-ever, they generally don’t eat it because they are sick.

Myth: My cat needs milk. Truth: Cats do not need milk. Yes, they

may like to drink milk, but it can cause diarrhea.

Myth: My dog has a fever because its nose is warm. Truth: A dog’s nose is influenced by activity and climate. A

healthy dog can have a cold, wet nose or a warm dry, dry nose. If your dog’s nose is warm but it acts fine, it’s likely all is well.

“So many pet parents hear health rumors or read things on the Internet that aren’t true. It’s important to work closely with your veterinarian to ensure you receive correct answers to your pet health questions,” Benson said.

Debunking some common pet frets

John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at [email protected].

» A dog’s warm nose – The origin: There is no identifi-able origin for this myth. People just seem to think that a dog with a warm and/or dry nose is sick, and that a dog with a cold wet nose is well. The truth: If a dog has a dry or warm nose, it means that he has a dry or warm nose. A dry nose or a mildly warm nose has nothing to do with the overall health of a dog.

-www.petwave.com

» Home flea remedies – If you don’t want to use a flea collar with insecticides, active ingredients such as eucalyp-tus, cedar, lemongrass, rosemary and marigold won’t ex-terminate, but will deter fleas. Also, feed your pet a com-bination of brewer’s yeast and garlic once a day during flea season. The mixture will make your pet taste bad to fleas when they bite, while also conditioning your pet’s skin.
