The Future of Pain Care is Here!

WWW.INTER‐PAIN.COM

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS WILL VARY. Advanced Interventional Pain Center is the nation’s only pain center to have consistently over 90% pain treatment success rates 4 years in a row. Advanced Interventional Pain Center promotes innovative minimally invasive treatments for long term pain relief

without surgery or addictive medications. Advanced Interventional Pain Center aims to reduce healthcare spending by preventing ER visits, Surgical Treatments and Hospitalizations because of Chronic Pain.

“I am happy as can be! It is wonderful to have no back pain after the Laser Treat-ments from Dr. Srini”……… Robert Russell who is still back pain free at 8 months after treatment, is the world’s first patient to receive the minimally invasive Deep Tissue Low Intensity Laser Therapy (DT-LILT™) for failed back surgery syn-drome. DT-LILT™ involves a new contact laser device for selectively destroying the C pain fibers while leaving the healthy tissues intact. DT-LILT™ is invented by Dr. Srini and is first of its kind in the world. DT-LILT™ is NOT FDA approved and is available only at Advanced Interventional Pain Center.

“ I would say the future of pain care is here. With terrible leg pain I had hardly played any golf for the last 2 years. After getting just one treatment from Dr. Srini, I cannot believe that I completed the entire 18 holes with absolutely no pain ”….. Otis Oliver, after permanent pain relief from peripheral vascular pain. He does not require sur-gery.

“My knees are 100% pain free without surgery after Dr. Srini’s treatment and I feel 10 years younger!”......... Mary Flora (Kokomo, IN)

“ Over three years I have suffered from terrible headaches, I also had low back pain. I was told there was no hope for my pain condition and was put on addic-tive medications that affected my everyday functioning. I am simply delighted that I am pain free after 3 treatments by Dr. Srini who explained the science behind my pain condition. He has proven that my incurable pain condition was indeed curable! ”….. Edwina Foust after receiving permanent pain relief from headaches.

“ I had severe tail bone pain and sciatica after falling on a hard object. For five years I had suffered in severe pain visited many treatment facilities and have spent over $ 60,000 in treatments without any pain relief. I am simply delighted that after just one treatment I am pain free”….. Barbara Wolfe, one year after treatment.

My name is Vicki Hinkle. I have struggled with foot pain for many, many years. I have had treatment and surgery from several very experi-enced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause life style changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shop-ping with friends. I had accepted with sadness; the reality those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonder-ful results in less than a week after my treatment by Dr. Srinivasan. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, ac-complished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again. I en-courage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back too!

The views of the columnists in Current In Noblesville are their own and do not necessarily

reflect the positions of this newspaper.

It is our position that the resurgent trend of local breweries here and around the Unites States is good thing for our communities. Known as micro or craft breweries, these operations are loosely defined as ones which create limited amounts of exotic, high-end beer. These brewers, which are riding a wave of gener-ous public support, have afforded Brew Masters the opportunity to in-novate, creating new flavor profiles while giving us a chance to exercise our taste buds – the ultimate win-win situation.

One such brewer, Flat 12 Bierwerks, is set in the near East downtown Indianapolis Cottage Homes’ area and has quickly become a lynchpin of local life. Unlike distant commercial manufacturers, these micros invest deeply and locally often hosting community events and charities. With deep Hamilton County connections including active local ownership, Flat 12 is now filling growlers at The Brockway Public House on Old Meridian at Carmel Drive. And, Barley Island has been serving fine suds for a decade at its home in Noblesville. If you enjoy an occasional fine malt beverage, grab a growler and support the local guy. Do it responsibly, of course, but enjoy and make the calories count in both quality beer and local impact.

Drink beer … now! Nuclear issueIt is our position that the horrific events in Japan

should not sideline current US applications for new nuclear power generating plants. Instead, engineers must promptly apply the lessons learned from the failures in Asia. The naturally occurring 9.0 earth-quake and ensuing colossal tsunami were disasters, while unpreventable by man, able to be imagined. The resultant failure of the cooling systems in the stations was and is potentially preventable. The standby generators that were supposed to provide electrical power to cooling pumps during power outages survived the earthquake, but failed when the tsunami flooded them. Are there solutions to ameliorate this risk? Is it necessary (or wise) to disregard nuclear power generation as an option because of the present crisis?

Among the most unique of human qualities is the ability to assimilate knowledge from our surroundings and the errors of other. This should be no exception. We believe the United States should use the data collected from this terrible failure to ensure no reoccurrence. And, we continue to believe that nuclear power can be an important part of our goal to attain energy independence and carbon free emissions in the near future. Isn’t now the time to adapt and not to panic?

COMMEntaRY By Kevin Kane

This week’s cover story is on the prevalence of identity theft in this area and the latest trends and tactics of personal information thieves.

When I first started looking into this issue, I was skeptical that I would find much new or surprising information. I thought, when talking to experts on the subject, I would primarily hear about phishing schemes and lost wallets, but that wasn’t the case at all.

The number of new tactics and the creativity used in creating some of them was quite alarm-ing, and I learned (and reported) on schemes I, for one, would have never seen coming. Perhaps even more alarming, though, was what I found when looking for identity theft victims.

I contacted some members of our staff, city employees and other friends of mine in the area in hopes of finding at least one local victim of identity theft. After just the first few replies to my request for a contact, I had more names than I could possibly fit into the article. So many people knew not just one, but multiple victims of iden-tity theft living right here in Hamilton County.

This is a smart county. Tips like shredding personal documents and being overly reluctant to give out a Social Security number have long been old news to the people living here. Still, identity thieves have found ways to obtain the information of so many of our neighbors, often

without their knowledge. Of all the interesting information I learned

while working on this article, the thing that stuck out the most to me was the need to be overly pro-tective of my personal info. The day of my first interview, I logged in to my Facebook account and removed whatever details were not necessary. My profile still jokingly says I’m a big fan of Tom Jones, but my hometown, date of birth and other identifying facts have been removed.

I always knew identity theft is a significant threat but, until recently, I had been ignorant for thinking I was doing enough to protect myself.

The businesses of our city are the key component in helping to keep our property taxes low. In order for them to succeed – and you to maximize – it is important to keep them at the fore of your thoughts when it comes to your needs for goods and services. No organization knows this better than the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce, which represents the interests of many of those businesses. Under the direction of its presi-dent, Sharon McMahon, it is playing host tonight to more than 80 businesses at its 10th-annual Taste of Business event at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall from 4:30 to 7 p.m. With only a $5 fee for entry, it’s a win-win-win. You’ll learn and experience, businesses will get exposure and the chamber, which must generate all funding for operations, gets support. Call 773.0086 for more information.

heartened us to learn the other day that the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission raised in excess of $27,000 at its 11th annual fund-raiser a week ago Saturday. Nearly 300 guests converged at the Ritz Charles in Carmel to help support the commission’s events, chief among them Law Day and Art Fair on the Square, Sunday summer band concerts and Shakespeare in the Park. Everyone gets a pat on the back for this effort.

Tonight’s the night to ‘taste’ city business


Editor,Thank you for Terry Anker’s well-written ar-

ticle on the protection of marriage (“Marriage is the ultimate commitment,” published March 1).

It was refreshing to see such a polite and logi-cal discussion that raised several great points in such a brief article.

I appreciate hearing someone at a local level

discuss marriage as a solemn contract between two committed adults, regardless of gender, and bring into question the usefulness of the actions being taken by the government under the guise of “protecting” marriage.

Thanks for sharing this piece!Anna Foster

COMMEntaRYBy Danielle Wilson

Our oldest son is twelve. He plays travel soc-cer and alto sax. A few nights ago, he had the Spring Concert and a mandatory soccer prac-tice, both scheduled for 7 p.m. I was reminded of the concert a week before, and learned of the practice less than 48 hours prior. Obviously, I felt that band was the priority, given that soc-cer was just a practice. My husband, however, thought Geoffrey’s commitment to his team was more important. Since we couldn’t come to an agreement on which activity to attend, we left the decision up to our son.

Naturally, he chose soccer. What? But that’s a terrible decision! “Are you sure?” I asked. “You’re missing a concert for a practice.” “I know,” he replied, “but we have to do well this weekend in our tournament if we want to win.” Knowing it was the wrong choice, but respecting my son’s wishes, I emailed the band teacher about Geof-frey’s impending absence.

Minutes before we were headed out the door for soccer, I received a reply. It seemed the teacher was NOT impressed. He requested a parent-teacher-student conference ASAP to discuss. Frick.

I pleaded with Geoffrey to change his mind. “Jeeze, Mom! What’s the worst that could hap-pen?” “Um, you could get an F or get kicked out

of the class or, worse yet, I could get yelled at for poor parenting.” But it was all to no avail. He wouldn’t budge. So I drove him to soccer practice, feeling sicker and sicker with anxiety, knowing I was allowing my son to make a huge mistake.

As soon as I dropped Geoffrey off, I went in search of a distraction. I found a small one in the sleeveless blouse collection at Goodwill, but I simply could not shake the feeling that I had roy-ally screwed the pooch. I needed someone to talk to, someone other than my husband, who felt I was overreacting. So who could I call? Who did I know who would understand my stress? Ding, ding, ding! Got it. My mother-in-law.

As expected, she validated my concerns and confirmed what I already knew. “Yes, it sounds like he made the wrong decision. And yes, you probably shouldn’t have let him make that choice to begin with. But more important than either of those is the fact that you followed through with your commitment to your son.” I suppose that was something.

But I still felt terrible. What kind of mom puts her middle-schooler in the position to choose between a sport that he loves and a required school performance? Is it any surprise he chose the game? Why didn’t I just put my big size-nine foot down and tell him how it was going to be? Stupid, stupid, stupid! And now it was too late.

When the conference arrived two days later, I was extremely nervous. There’s just something about being back in a junior high – feeling like you’re headed to the principal’s office for a lecture you deserve – that makes you want to vomit in a locker.

But guess what? Geoffrey’s band teacher was amazing. He wasn’t upset at all; he merely wanted to understand Geoffrey’s reasons behind his decision and to explain why choosing the concert would have been the smarter move. He didn’t make me feel like a bad parent, but rather a partner in Geoffrey’s education. I’m convinced Geoffrey learned a lesson.

And I learned one too: Always trust your moth-erly instincts. So, sorry youngest child! By the time we get to you, you’ll have no fun at all! Peace out.

My latest parenting blunder

Why didn’t I just put my big size-nine

foot down…


COMMEntaRYBy Krista Bocko

I surprised myself recently when a stranger asked me what I do and I heard the words “I’m a writer” come out of my mouth.

I had never summed myself up in those words before, and it felt good to say. The only reason I did is because I’ve been doing this writing gig. But even if I wasn’t writing for publications, I hope I would have realized that I’m still a writer, simply because I love to write.

I recently read a great little article by James Altucher titled “33 tips to be a better writer,” so here are some of them. If you’re a writer too maybe some will grab you. And if you’ve never considered yourself a writer but love to write, maybe you’ll shift your thinking a little. I’ve added my thoughts after each.

Write whatever you want. Nothing is off limits. Let go of “what’s proper.”

Bleed in the first line. Writing should grab people by the heart.

Don’t ask for permission. Leave out “in my opinion.” Just say what you want to say.

Write a lot. Writing is like exercise – daily or at least a few times a week is the goal.

Read a lot. Expose yourself to great writ-ing. Be a fixture at the library.

Don’t be afraid of what people think. If you feel it, write it. There are bound to be others who feel the same. Connect with those people through words.

Be opinionated. Have strong feelings on at least a couple subjects.

Risk. When you put your strong opinions out there, you’ll open your-self up to criticism, and sometimes that’s hard, but ultimately that is the best thing about writing: evok-ing emotions in people.

Take what everyone else thinks, and explore the opposite. Ques-tion the status quo – I love to do this.

Paint. Or draw. Explore other artistic en-deavors. Because I love hoopdance, that is what I often do.

Let it sleep. Come back to it. Tweak it.Coffee. Lots of coffee. See my blog for link to the full article.

The lemonade stand is a familiar sight in many (Carmel,Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville) neighborhoods in spring and summer, but on Sunday May 1, don’t be surprised if there are a few more than usual.

Lemonade Day is a national program that teaches children the entrepreneurship and how to run a business, all through the model of the lemonade stand. Sponsored by Carmel resident and entrepreneur Scott Jones, Lemonade Day is hosted on May 1 this year across the Central Indiana area.

“Last year over 7,000 kids signed up for Lemonade Day in the area,” said Jami Marsh, who directs the Central Indiana Lemonade Day. “This year our goal is 10,000 and we really want to reach a much larger area of kids this year too.”

Once children have their official Lemonade Day backpacks, workbooks and other help in-side can help them make the most of the experi-ence. Kids have their own workbooks which guide them through designing the stand, pick-ing a good location, advertising their stand and setting goals, and eventually operating their own lemonade stand. Parents and adults also have their own guide to help supplement the process.

“Lemonade Day is great for kids to learn not just business but also important life skills,” said Marsh. “We always encourage at the end of

Lemonade Day kids learn to spend a little, save a little, and share a little to teach them about the money they’ve earned.”

One of the other opportunities with Lemon-ade Day are a variety of workshops and classes for kids to further help them develop their con-cept and learn about business, from handling money to marketing. And competitions for the best tasting lemonade, best stand design, and most successful stands help encourage kids in the area to go all out for the big day.

For children interested in participating, visit any local library or a few other select sites in the area to sign up and receive your backpack and workbook and visit http://indianapolis.lemon-adeday.org/ for further information.

Life routinely requires decisions from us with-out providing full disclosure.

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg un-certainty principle states that the more precisely you measure one prop-erty, the less precisely another can be measured. In atoms, you can know the position of an elec-tron, but not the mo-mentum. Recently, I was confronted head-on by this principle during my morning commute.

Philosophers say it doesn’t matter when you arrive. They say it’s the journey that counts. I say bah humbug. Recently, my husband left the house at 7:49 a.m. I left for my job just blocks from his office at 8:19 a.m. As I approached the State Fairgrounds, I spied his car in the left lane waiting for the accordion effect of a newly changed green light to free his momentum. I honked and waved as I passed him by.

Only part of this time warp can be attributed to a lead foot.

I finally have proof that leaving early will not guarantee arrival prior to someone who leaves from the same position much later. You can predict position, but not momentum. You can know you will arrive at work, but you cannot know when.

We enact decisions without ever knowing all the causal factors and results. The butterfly effect in chaos theory identifies small changes in complex systems that have large effects else-where. Air moved by a butterfly’s wings becomes

the catalyst for a hur-ricane thousands of miles away.

“Chaos theory” is one of my favorite oxymorons, implying a systematic approach to pure confusion. Traffic is a prime example of a system that should be

studied through the prism of chaos theory. And we can all agree there are a lot of oxymorons on the road.

Experience is the only thing that allows us to make decisions in chaotic systems that more of-ten than not get us where we intend to go at the time we intend to arrive. That’s why children and teens make poorer decisions on average than adults. The process of acquiring experience is risky and sometimes lethal. But that’s life. No one gets out alive.

Getting there is all that matters

The announcement Monday that Carmel-based Estridge Group will be shuttering its sales department has homeowners like Steve Rupp wondering about the status of their war-ranties, and in some cases, whether their half-built homes will be finished.

Rupp lives in Estridge’s Centennial neigh-borhood in Westfield – his second Estridge-built home. His home recently received a year-ly “check-up” covered under Estridge’s highly regarded three-year HomeLife warranty, but may be one of the last to do so.

The Estridge Group, one of the last home-builders based in the Indianapolis area, has a number of communities in various stages of completion across the north and west side of the metropolitan area – including Anderson Hall and Somerset Woods in Fishers, and Car-mel’s Lincolnshire and Grandin Hall.

Rupp, who is also broker associate at Pru-dential Indiana Realty Group, said homeown-ers with incomplete homes may have to look to third parties to finish construction jobs Es-tridge can’t, or to the still-functioning Estridge Custom Galleries, which is financially separate from the beleaguered production builder.

“Short term, it’s going to be a black eye,” said Rupp.

Estridge Group President Paul Estridge Jr. has pointed to banks being unable or unwill-ing to provide lines of credit to homebuilders as one of the primary causes of the company’s shutdown.

“One thing that confuses me, is if you have a builder who is so well known, and is so per-sonally invested financially in his business… that to me would mean a lot to a bank, be-cause they want to see some skin in the game,” Rupp said.

The company’s financial woes also has ripples across the subcontracting industry. Estridge is just the latest in a line of home-builders like C.P. Morgan, Gunstra Builders and Hansen & Horn to close operations. The effect of this, Rupp said, is that businesses and workers who provide electrician, plumbing, tiling and other services to the builders are suddenly finding themselves without the ma-jority of their workload.

“A lot of these subcontractors really built their business around Estridge, and now they don’t have any work,” Rupp said. “It’s pretty pervasive.”

Estridge has maintained that he will look for ways to continue construction on homes in progress, and to support homeowners in need of repairs.

The daffodils that have bloomed in previous springs at the corner of S.R. 37 and S.R. 32 were a result of the efforts of committed volunteers of Keep Noblesville Beautiful (KNB), an organization working to improve the community through edu-cational and community action programs.

KNB’s daffodil initiative, which began in the fall of 2009, will eventually encom-pass gateways to the city as well as major thoroughfares. More daffodil plantings should be visible this spring at the gateway at Hamilton Town Center on East 146th St.

KNB has several upcoming events, starting with the Highway 37 Cleanup on April 16, which will focus on the section of S.R. 37 from S.R. 32 to 191st St.

On April 29, KNB will celebrate Arbor Day on the southeast side of the Courthouse Square by giving away 400 small Red Oak trees.

The organization’s annual Spring Blitz will take place May 21 in the Lincoln Circle area of town. Vol-

unteers will focus on one particular area and provide help for residents by doing whatever landscaping or upkeep work that is needed.

Volunteers or Groups are welcome to help with the Highway 37 Cleanup or the Spring Blitz. KNB also is growing its membership. Dues are $20 annually for an individual or $25 for a family. Visit www.keepnoblesvillebeautiful.org for more information.

The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville is still in talks with the Noblesville school board regarding its offer to purchase the Conner Learning Center from Noblesville Schools.

The organization presented an offer of $320,000 to the board on Feb. 15 and the two sides have remained in negotiations since that time. The of-fer includes the purchase of the former elementary school at 1700 Conner Street, Conner Courts, and the current community center property. The club currently owns the community center but leases the

property from Noblesville Schools.Boys & Girls Club Executive Director Becky

Terry said the property would expand programming space and reduce long-term operating costs. In the original offer, the $320,000 would be divided into five equal payments of $64,000 – one at closing followed by four annual payments, plus 3 percent interest.

Terry said some minor changes have been made to the deal but the dollar amount has not changed.

“We should hear something from them at the April (15) school board meeting,” she said.

Current in NoblesvilleWhen the owner of Noblesville Athletic Club,

Bob Habig, was presented with the idea of sponsor-ing a walk affiliated with a well-known national organization, he instead wanted to plan an event to raise funds and directly benefit an organization closer to home.

NAC is sponsoring the first annual Harbour Walk, which will be a fundraiser for two organiza-tions in Hamilton County that continually strive to beat hunger on a daily basis: Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County and Food Rescue.

The Harbour Walk will take place on April 16, beginning at 8:30 a.m. It will start and end at NAC, which is just inside the entrance to the South Har-bour subdivision at 411 South Harbour Drive.

Walkers and runners will follow 5K and 10K routes through the scenic neighborhood of South Harbour. After the walk, participants can enjoy food, a ballet, hip hop and tumbling demonstration, a tour of NAC and booths from sponsored by local businesses.

Jeff Lawrence became a victim of identity theft in the mid-1990s, long before such crimes became a widespread concern.

It was days before Christmas, Lawrence recalled, when he ac-cessed his banking information online and found an unwanted surprise.

“All of our money was gone,” he said. Lawrence, a Hamilton County resident, said he was angry at

himself, assuming he must have forgotten to record the family’s mortgage payment, but that wasn’t the case at all. His identity, and money, had been stolen by a teller from his own bank.

He had been mailed new checks earlier in the month but, because the printed address included the wrong city name, he returned them to the bank. The bank teller’s boyfriend, Lawrence later found, worked at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and used equipment there to create a fake driver’s license, matching his picture with Lawrence’s name and information.

The two worked together to withdraw funds from Lawrence’s account and use the returned checks, stealing about $5,000 from Lawrence before his accounts could be closed.

To some extent, Lawrence considers himself lucky, largely be-cause this didn’t happen in today’s world.

“Technology wasn’t what it is today,” he said. “If it would have happened today, I think it would have been a lot worse.”

Last year, there were 1,397 reported cases in the greater In-dianapolis area alone in which a person assumed someone else’s identity using stolen information. That figure ranks Indianapolis and its suburbs in the Federal Trade Commission’s top 140 most affected areas. Thousands more in the area, like the city of No-

blesville’s Grant Coordinator Amy Shank-land, had their personal information stolen, but the FTC says many cases go unnoticed and unreported.

Though many still circulate, today’s identity thieves have moved beyond phish-ing scams to tactics that can be much more serious.

Tami Nealy, an identity theft specialist with LifeLock, said this time of year, many individuals are learning that their personal information has been compromised when attempting to file their tax returns.

“We’re seeing a large increase in tax return fraud,” she said. “The IRS may tell you that they’ve already issued you a refund check or that you’ve already filed a return.”

Stolen information, which Nealy said is sometimes obtained simply by stealing W-2 forms from mailboxes, is used by thieves to create a fake tax return for the victim. Do-nations and other write-offs will be fabricat-ed to generate the biggest refund, which is typically directly deposited into an account created by the criminal.

Thieves are using similar methods to il-legally collect benefits from the government. That’s what Michelle Sybesma found to be the case when her information was stolen. While she was living in Noblesville, someone else was receiving government aid and even had an Illinois home in her name.

Since her long battle to reclaim her identity and undo the damage, Sybesma has worked as an advocate for identity theft victims and warns others how they can stay out of her past situation.

“I’ve heard people say, ‘Well that doesn’t happen here. It’s Hamilton County,’” she said. “Not true.”

Most people now know to be on the lookout for phishing e-mails and to shred personal documents, but there are many more methods of protection that are often overlooked.

Guard your documents – Sybesma said e-mails are an easy way for tech-savvy thieves to steal information. If personal or confidential business information is ever distributed via e-mail, attached documents should always be password pro-tected, she said.

Preemptive strikes – Credit freezes can be placed after infor-mation is stolen, but moves can be made before that occurs. Consumers can go to indianaconsumer.com and place a free credit freeze with all three credit reporting agencies. Doing this will provide a person with a PIN that will be required to issue any new credit under his or her name.

Get off of the lists – Call 1-888-5-OPT-OUT. “Part of the credit reporting agencies’ profit comes from selling mailing lists of names to companies looking for people in certain demographics,” Sybesma said. This call will get you off of their lists and reduce potentially dangerous junk mail such as pre-approved credit cards.

Strip down your Facebook page – Sybesma said adults and children alike post too much personal information on Face-book. Though not mandatory, the site asks for users’ birth dates, hometown and current residence. “I bet I could go on Facebook and, in a matter of minutes, get enough informa-tion to cause a problem for someone,” Sybesma said.

Look for the ‘s’ – “Https” does not need to be present before the domain name on all websites. Many will only say “http,” but Sybesma said it is important that the “s” is there only on a page taking a credit card number or other information.

Identity thieves are discovering new ways to become someone else

In addition to filing bogus tax returns and using others’ credit for houses, phones and utilities, Sybesma said there are a number of new types of identity fraud that are often hard to detect.

Synthetic identity fraud – This occurs when informa-tion is taken from two or more individuals and used to create a new identity of a person who does not exist. But for those whose information is being used for this, it can be difficult to identify. “If they’re using your Social Security number with a different name, you won’t have access to that,” Sybesma said. This type of activity won’t show up on a credit report, but one solution might be to request a Social Security statement at ssa.gov.

Identity theft of children – Sybesma says the SSNs of children are being used in fraud more commonly be-cause adults often only focus on protecting their own information. She said she knows of examples of local 16-year-olds attempting to obtain a driver’s license only to be rejected because one is already issued in their names. The easiest way to check this: Request a credit report for children. Unless credit has been issued to fraudsters, they should not have one.

Medical identity fraud – There are many motives and methods associated with this, Sybesma said, but it is typically committed by uninsured individuals seeking free medical treatment. One overlooked step, she said, is to destroy labels on prescription bottles.

When I first started working with Current, it was as an editor. While editing one piece, I changed myriad to a myriad of. In doing so, I changed the part of speech from an adjective to a noun. My editor questioned the choice, so I provided evidence to back up my change. Then I forgot about it.

I forgot about it until the next week, anyhow. After the piece printed, Current got an email from a reader who wanted to know why we had misused myriad. Now, nearly three years later, I’m addressing myriad here. Let’s clear up the misconceptions.

The word myriad, which means of great or in-definite number or a great or indefinite number, can function as either an adjective or a noun. It is grammatically correct as either an adjective or a noun. The definition is virtually identical whether used as an adjective or a noun. The only thing that changes when switching from one part of speech to the other is how the word is structured in the sentence. Take a look:

Japan faces myriad problems following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.Japan faces a myriad of problems following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.In the first sentence, myriad functions as an

adjective modifying problems. Because it is an adjective, it needs no additional words. It could easily be replaced with another adjective such as many, various or numerous.

The second sentence is altered slightly by the addition of two words: a and of. When myriad is used as a noun, the sentence must be construct-ed to accommodate it. Again, myriad could be replaced by a number of synonyms: number, mountain, bunch. But as a noun, it needs an article and the preposition of in order to make sense in the construction.

Both uses are grammatically correct. The first is a little tighter and less wordy, but to me it sounds foreign and a bit awkward. So I continue to use myriad almost exclusively as a noun. But you can use it as an adjective if you like. It’s a great word, so I’m happy if you use it correctly one way or the other.

theran Church (7 p.m. on Thursday, check Door #6 for the room number) will be, “Object or Subject? Get Your Pronouns in Order.”

tEEn lIFEBy Jenna larson

If you were given $1 million, what would you do with it? It’s a tough question, right? The way I see it, there are two types of possible answers.

On one hand, someone could go all “good Samaritan” and do something charitable and generous with the money. If I were to take that particular route, I would donate a lot to the Sal-vation Army; I drop my change from the whole year in its modest red bucket each December, but I think a larger contribution would put a smile on the face of the jolly bell-ringer.

Then, I would buy a bunch of cows through Heifer International, an organization that uses money donated by patrons to purchase useful animals to help poor villages in other countries. Cows give villagers milk, a valuable source of nutrition for children who are often malnourished. Plus, you know, cows are just really goofy and adorable, so I’m sure the kid-dos would appreciate that aspect of my theo-retical gift, too.

On the other hand, if generosity is a little foreign, someone could take the more selfish path: a huge, fancy home, a posh car, an extrav-agant vacation…something along those lines.

If I had to go down that specific road, I would start by hiring my favorite bands (The Cab , The Maine, The Summer Set, A Rocket to the Moon, Forever the Sickest Kids) to play a private concert for my friends…scratch that, my entire

school. It would be the perfect way to kick off spring break, and, of course, ensure that I’m jam-ming out in the front row. Dream come true.

Then, I would buy a ridiculous supply of iced tea, sweetened. Worst addiction ever.

I would set aside $200,000 for college. Edu-cation is important to me, and I know degrees don’t come cheap.

My final act of business? I would fix up my beloved Ford Escort ZX2. I’d find it a new headlight for the driver’s side, finally replac-ing the one that’s been busted since my slight mishap while armed with little experience and a new permit over a year and a half ago.

Now, if I were handed this make-believe $1 million check tomorrow, there’s no telling what I would actually do with the money. I could have a sudden urge to accomplish the most good possible, and take the charity route. I might be tempted, instead, to spend what I could on more personal items. My hope is that I would experience a lot less of the second than of the first. Granted, the situation as a whole is a bit far-fetched. But, if the day ever comes where I’m handed a couple briefcases full of cash, I want to be prepared.

How would you spend $1 million?

On March 13-17, more than 10,000 guests and industry experts gathered together for Cruise Shipping Miami, the cruise industry’s larg-est annual conference. Unfortunately, I wasn’t among them, but I did get the lowdown from those who were. Here’s a round up of what’s happening in the cruise world.

New ships. It’s a ban-ner year for new ships; 15 debut this year. Disney’s Dream first sailed in January, and Oceania’s Marina debuts in April. Carnival is adding the Magic to its fleet, and Celebrity will soon debut the Silhouette. In addition, four European lines have new ships, and there will soon be seven new river cruisers sailing through Europe.

New destinations. The newest hot spots for cruising are – drum roll, please – Europe, South America and Australia. According to MSC CEO Pierfrancesco Vago, “Europe is the new Carib-bean.” OK, that may be a stretch, but European cruises are growing in popularity. Next on the horizon, according John Tercek, Royal Carib-bean’s VP of commercial development, is north-

eastern Brazil. While largely unknown, the area has great potential. Tercek also believes South Africa, India and Asia will blossom as new cruise destinations.

The good news. The cruise business is boom-ing. CLIA (Cruise Line International Associa-tion) predicts more than 16 million people will take a cruise vacation this year. Three-fourths of those will be from North America. This is a 6.6 percent increase over 2010.

The not-so-good news. Cruise rates are going up. Alas, we knew as the economy began to perk, the days of deals would end. We just hoped to snag a few more trips before it did. Even so, quality and value are on the minds of cruise ship execs as they gather data on what people want from a cruise. So while you may pay more, chances are good you’ll enjoy more too.

If the site has a “comments” section, tell them that you don’t want vintage substitutions. And be sure to read the fine print about substitutions. Some sites say they can substitute a different wine if it’s under a certain price — say, $15.

In my last column, I mentioned there were three components that really make a big dif-ference when shooting images in manual mode. Last time, we discussed aperture. This go around, I’m going to talk about ISO.

Remember when you went to the store to buy film for you camera in the pre-digital age? There were several different “speeds” of film to choose from. You could usually pick from 100-to-800-speed film. The speed of film is a pretty close cousin of ISO; the less light you might be shooting in, the higher speed film you needed.

In digital photography, ISO refers to how sensitive the camera’s sensor is to the amount of light present. As a rule of thumb, the less avail-able light, the higher the ISO. ISO starts at 100 and can go up well into the thousands depend-ing on the camera .

So, let’s say you’re shooting a picture of your daughter on stage at a ballet recital and they will jail you if you use a flash. You would use a higher ISO setting to increase your sensors sensitivity to light.Your image will be better

exposed. There are some drawbacks to shooting in

a higher ISO. The most obvious is camera “noise” or grain in images. Camera sensors are

getting better and bet-ter at handling low-light situations, but the images become less sharp as you shoot in a higher ISO. Sometimes, it provides an interesting texture and mood, but if that’s not what you’re going for, you want to stick to the lowest possible ISO setting.

The other reason to shoot in a lower ISO pos-sible is color saturation. The higher the ISO, the less color your image will have. So, if you’re shooting the richness of the fall foliage, you don’t want to lose color by shooting in a high ISO unnecessarily.

ISO works in conjunction with aperture and shutter speed to properly expose images. In my next column, we’ll delve into shutter speed.

How to utilize ISO settings

“Toy Story 3” took home the Oscar for ani-mated feature, but “Tangled” was actually the best Disney film of last year.

I mean it – this delightful mix of music, adventure and romance was the finest princess movie since 1991’s “Beauty and the Beast.” It’s loosely based on the Rapunzel fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm, but has been jazzed up and modernized by screenwriter Dan Fogelman and co-directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard.

Rapunzel is no blushing maiden eagerly awaiting her rescuer, but a feisty teen (voice by Mandy Moore) hungry for adventure beyond the tall tower in which she’s been locked away her whole life. Little does she know, evil en-chantress Gothel (a terrific Donna Murphy) kidnapped her as a babe from her parents, the

king and queen, to exploit the magic of her flowing golden hair.

When Flynn Ryder (Zachary Levi), a charm-ing cad of a thief, hides in Rapunzel’s tower, she knocks him cold with a frying pan. Soon they’re off on a quest and – of course – falling in love.

The movie starts out all fun and games, but gains unexpected heft and emotional resonance as the plot unspools.

Coupled with a handful of Broadway-style showstopper musical numbers, “Tangled” is an old-fashioned charmer.

Movie: A-minus

COMEntaRY By laura Marenco

Generally, we may think of cholesterol as the primary culprit in cardiovascular disease, but nearly half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels. What researchers are finding is that another factor is at work in our body: inflammation.

Inflammation causes a flood of white blood cells and chemicals that our immune system unleashes to ward off damage or infection. When we have an injury, such as a scraped knee, inflammation is an important part of the heal-ing process. But when it comes to chronic in-flammation, it is system-wide response that does more harm than good.

Cholesterol still is the key villain, as it is the formation of clots that cause strokes, but in-flammation works as its sidekick. As cholesterol occurs in the bloodstream, excess LDL begins to seep into the inner wall of the artery, and our inflammation levels speeds up the process. And it is a deadly cycle. As cholesterol is absorbed, it produces more inflammation, continuing the cycle.

It’s likely the reason that people with normal cholesterol levels can be at risk for heart attacks. And it is levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), re-leased by cells during the inflammation process

that may be more effective in gauging our risks.There are dietary ways we can deal with the

risks. Typical diets are no longer balanced when it comes to essential fatty acids. Omega 6’s are plentiful in our diet and found in refined vegetable oils, and prevalent in the Ameri-can diet. Unfortunately, Omega 6’s increase inflammation. What we lack are Omega 3’s, which reduce inflammation response. Primary sources of Omega 3’s are cold-water fish, and we can obtain more by eating more salmon or taking a high quality fish oil supplement.

Another way we can fight inflammation is through the herb turmeric, which is well know for it’s anti-inflammatory properties. The health benefits of turmeric lie in the active ingredi-ent called curcumin, which has been found to reduce inflammation by lowering levels of inflammatory enzymes, according to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Fighting inflammation may be one of the most important ways we can live healthier and longer lives.

» Too much cardio bad for heart? – A study conducted a few years ago found that professional marathon runners and some Olympic athletes had suffered heart muscle scarring. Now a new study, this time in labo-ratory rats, provides solid evidence of a di-rect link between certain kinds of prolonged elite-level endurance exercise and heart scarring and structural changes. The research effectively shows that years of strenuous cardiovascular exercise – such as marathon training – can damage one’s heart.

» Baldness drug affects sex drive – A new study from George Washington University indicates that men who take the drug finaste-ride (sold as Propecia and Proscar) may report an ongoing reduction in sex drive. In some cases, men in the study experienced pro-longed periods of erectile dysfunction several months after they stopped using the drugs.

» Straws cause wrinkles? – Constant puckering can bring on premature wrinkles. Repeated facial expressions, such as pursing your lips, cause fine lines around your mouth

to form over time, dermatologists say. The solution: Lose the straw and drink directly from the glass, bottle or can.

» Antiviral breakfast – Research shows that the right morning meal can help quash the cold virus. In a recent study from the Nether-lands, researchers analyzed the impact that consuming a 1,200-calorie breakfast has on a man’s immune system, versus eating nothing at all. They found that eating big and eating early increased blood levels of gamma interferon, a natural antiviral agent, by 450 percent. (Going hungry actually caused a 17 percent decrease.)

» Widowhood may lead to dementia – Being widowed and never remarrying may nearly double the risk of dementia and Al-zheimer’s disease, according to a new study. The results of the research, presented March 19 to the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, are preliminary and questions remain about the role of other life stressors. But research on animals suggests that accu-mulated stress over a lifetime may speed cell death in the hippocampus, one of the brain’s memory centers, perhaps making it more vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease.

COMMENTARYBy Dave Deckker

From the ground up, even the most private, function-specific areas of any home – the bathrooms – can be both very comfortable and highly stylish.

Bathroom flooring takes a special kind of beating, subjected to moisture, cosmetic spills, bacteria and stains. It serves a special kind of purpose securing bare, slippery wet feet. And it presents a special kind of design challenge covering typically tight spaces.

Well-installed porcelain or ceramic tile generally constitutes the shortest distance to cover all these points. It’s plentiful in terms of colors, design, quality and budget variations, repels water and germs, cleans well, usually has enough texture to abate wet-foot slippage, and especially with low-energy radiant heat underneath, provides a warm and inviting surface.

If the preference is for a softer feel, cork is sturdy, water resis-tant, skid-resistant, easy on the feet and comes in many colors. Also, because it’s plentiful in nature and quickly reconstitutes itself, cork is a good “green” flooring choice.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is another eco-friendly (75 percent limestone composite), comfortable and wonderfully versatile flooring material. It comes in virtually every imaginable color and look – stone, ceramic, natural and geometric designs, even wood planking – and is soft and pliable to walk on. It can be installed with or without grout depending on the desired look, and has the water and stain resistance of vinyl.

Glass accent tiles are wonderful design enhancers, and great-looking pebble shower floors are currently very popular. Natural

stone tiles, granite and marble flooring are beautiful and occupy the upper end of the budget options.

Traditional materials like wood, when properly treated, can be a great choice because of its beauty. I’ve yet to find a carpet option that really works, so if soft and fuzzy is your preference, throw rugs are the solution.

Is your bathroom comfortable … or confining? The floor space may be small, but the flooring decision is huge.

Bathroom floors: Something new underfootgaRDEnIngBy Hally lindzy

I’ll be the first to admit that it can be rather alarming to walk around your yard and stumble upon something funky looking growing on the bark of your tree or shrub. Sometimes, though, it can be a good thing … no need for panic.

For example, the crusty, greenish, scaly growth commonly found on tree bark can, at first glance, look like mold or fungus. In actuality, the growth called lichen is harmless and quite inter-esting in its growth habits.

It is a fungus that actually contains at least one species of algae, too. The combination is a symbiotic relationship that creates its own survival and thus does not cause any harm to our trees and shrubs. And in fact, it’s pretty cool lookin’ if you get up close and personal with it, and some people even consider it ornamental.

What’s really cool about it is that in can be an indicator of pol-lution levels in a given area. For instance, lichen catch and store excess carbon dioxide in the air, so in essence it filters the air we breathe. Bonus.

And in areas where the air is thick with pollution, lichen will actually die off and be scarce. So in areas where tree bark is absent from lichen, chances are the air quality is quite poor.

So the next time you take a trip outside to have a look at your trees, take some time to appreciate the simple beauty of the li-chen. And be thankful that your air is cleaner because of it.

Spring seems to finally be here, and with the warmer temperatures and longer days come … festivals!

If you are working on a four-generation pedigree chart, you might be far enough along in your research to know where your first fam-ily members came from when they headed to America. Perhaps your roots are from Europe, Africa or the Middle East.

Even if you have yet to document your fam-ily homeland, you probably have a clue or two from verbal lore or your surname itself.

Wherever your ancestors hail from, there is a festival for that place, and you don’t have to travel far to find it. With gas prices predicted to rise for the summer season, why not go local and visit the heritage festivals related to your family history?

A visit to the Web site www.festivals.com re-veals more than 20 different heritage-themed fes-tivals with date and location listings for each. The Indianapolis area is home to many such events, including offerings for Greek, Polish, German, Italian, Hispanic and Celtic festivals among oth-ers. Native American Pow-Wows and Civil War

re-enactments are great history-related activities too – and who can resist a Renaissance fair?

Our family has spent time at many such cel-ebrations, and we are richer for it. We’ve learned

games and dances at Celtic festivals, discovered our family coat-of-arms, mingled among those dressed as our ancestors dressed and, of course, come home with many souvenirs of

our places of origin, including plaids, flags, hats, jewelry, wall décor and food, food, food! Best of all, the day kindled our interest in our ancestors’ lives.

Since most families are a blend of many such heritage places, visiting several festivals is a must. We’ve put this stay-cation idea to the test and found it a great way to spend time together, and after such richly ancestral days, I’m always newly enthusiastic about continuing my family history research as well.

Family history festival stay-cationsFaItHBy Janna lynas

“For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to right teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever they want to hear. They will reject the truth and follow strange myths.”

- 2 Timothy 4:3This scripture has

stuck with me after read-ing and watching Rob Bell, pastor and author, using out-of-context scripture and even ques-tioning the very validity and character of God. His words teeter close to Universalism, claiming all paths lead to God.

This is the deal: You either believe the Bible is truth from cover to cover or you don’t. When I decide I only like the parts that are easy for me, that don’t make me uncomfortable, then I reject it all.

Jesus’ words are hard to swallow because they are true. The truth makes us squirm, makes us disgusted with ourselves, with our thoughts, with our words. The truth makes us want to change. Real change comes about

through the blood of Jesus, dying on a cross and rising to life so that I will never have to face a literal and eternal hell, apart from God’s great love.

That’s what makes it hard. We have been given the great privilege to choose, but we want it to be easy, so that everyone can do what they want and come along for all the great fun of heaven. If this is true, then Jesus

never had to die, never had to suffer and all he did and said was a waste of time.

“Love Wins” has sparked controversy and conversation. If you find yourself confused, don’t stay that way. Ask ques-tions and check every-thing against the truth of the Bible. When you meet God face to face one day, its truth will be

the only thing that matters.

The truth isn’t always easy

The truth makes us squirm,

makes us disgusted with ourselves,

with our thoughts, with our words.

RElatIOnSHIPS By Kristen Boice

Facebook. What comes up for you when you hear this word? Do you feel excited, afraid, an-noyed, irritated, thankful, unworthy, anxious, or a combination of emotions?

Facebook certainly continues to be a heated top-ic of conversation that brings much debate. There are many different feelings and thoughts about Facebook and its impact on our culture. I am fasci-nated by it from a psychological perspective.

On one hand, it can be a nice way to con-nect with others you have not seen in a while or that live far away. It allows us to see family and personal photos and hear the latest news in oth-ers’ lives. Facebook can be a quick way to share information to large groups of people.

Facebook brings out curiosity factor. Learning about others can be fun and interesting.

It also has some drawbacks. It sometimes causes feelings of unworthiness when compar-ing ourselves to others in terms of looks, trav-eled destinations, spouses, families, number of friends and so on. You can create a false picture of what is really happening in your life and the lives of others – people can wear masks. By what people post, it can create a picture of a “perfect” world when their life is quite the opposite in reality. It creates a false sense of connection.

Facebook can be seen as exploiting the ache to belong. Have you or someone you know been in a situation where you were asked, “Really? You don’t have an account on Facebook? Why

not?” Finally, Facebook can become a serious addiction. It can take away from your priorities and cause serious relationship issues.

Facebook is not an inherently “bad” thing. There are many parts that help people connect and keep in touch. However, there may be a problem if Facebook is running you instead of vice versa and if you do not have appropriate boundaries around it.

Here are some important questions if you use Facebook:

• How much time do you spend on it a day, week or month?

• Do you feel yourself wanting or even need-ing to check it often?

• Do you have the app loaded on your phone and check it while driving?

• Is it taking time away from your family and other priorities in your life?

• How do your boundaries play a role in your Facebook usage?

• Are you married or in a committed part-nership and having inappropriate relation-ships with others?

• Do you not want to talk to people in per-son because you prefer to “connect” on Facebook?

Spring has arrived, which means the mosquitoes won’t be far behind. Most pet owners have heard of heartworm disease, but what many don’t realize is that the cause of heartworm disease starts with a simple mosquito bite. Heartworm disease is more prevalent in dogs than cats, but both can contract the disease.

Heartworm disease is a silent killer. Dogs don’t typically show signs of the disease until it has progressed to the latter stages. Without treatment, a dog will suffer and eventually die from the disease.

Heartworm disease is not directly transmitted from dog to dog, cat to cat, or to humans. Heartworms can only be transmitted from animal to animal by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected animal, young heartworms called microfilariae enter into that mosquito’s system. Within two weeks, the microfilariae develop into infective larvae inside the mosquito; these infective larvae can be transmitted to another animal when this mosquito bites, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.

The infective larvae mature into adult heartworms in approxi-mately six months. The worms damage the blood vessels and

reduce the heart’s pumping ability, result-ing in severe lung and heart disease, and eventually death. Heartworm disease is treatable, but expensive. Animals typically have a full recovery from the disease once treated, but they continue to be susceptible unless a monthly heartworm preventative is given.

The cost to prevent heartworm is much more affordable than treating the disease, not to mention the best thing for your pet! Heartworm preventatives may be pur-chased from your veterinarian, pet stores or even online, and should be given to your cats and dogs monthly.

If your pet is not currently on a preven-tative, please make an appointment with your veterinarian so your pet can be tested for the disease. It is important to ensure an

animal doesn’t currently have the disease before a preventative is started.

April is national heartworm disease awareness month

Dooley is a one-year-old male black and white Hound/American Pit Bull Terrier mix. Dooley is very loving and playful boy who has a wonderful personality and disposition. He arrived at the shelter with a bad case of demodex mange (non-contagious) and he received treat-ment while in a foster home and he looks and feels so much better that he’s ready to find his forever home. His foster home reported that he is housetrained, well mannered and very affectionate and an absolute joy to have in their home.

Eva is a four-year-old female white with gray patches DSH. Eva has a very outgoing personality; some staff even re-fers to her as “the party girl.” She gets along with people of all ages, she is good with other cats and she even tolerates considerate dogs. Eva likes to play in water, so a water fountain might keep her entertained for hours. She also is quite the talker (what party girl doesn’t like to talk?) and she is also affectionate and gives hugs to anyone who will let her.

PEtS OF tHE WEEK


HUMORBy Mike Redmond

And now it’s time for that semi-regular ques-tion-and-answer feature, “A Dip In The Mail-bag.” As usual, I’ll be the Dip. Let’s begin.

How’s your mom?I have no idea. This is March, which means

the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, so my basketball-crazed mother is incommunicado. With her satellite dish and her DVR, it is now theoretically possible for my mother to watch 48 hours of basketball in a 24-hour period. From what I hear, she is doing all she can to move this beyond theory and into reality.

What does your mom do when college bas-ketball season is over?She sleeps. Until her birthday. May 29.Are you following the NCAA tournament?To a point. I always enjoy the first round

because there’s something so delightfully truant about watching college basketball on a week-day afternoon when you should be working. It’s slightly reminiscent of those bygone days when teachers would wheel big black-and-white television sets into the classrooms to watch the World Series, which was a heck of an improve-ment over geometry.

After the first round, though, I tend to limit my watching to the Indiana schools that remain in the tournament (unlike, say, a certain little old lunatic lady you might have heard about),

and even then I have to be careful. My cardiolo-gist does not appreciate last-second victories, if you get my drift.

Do you fill out a bracket for a tournament pool?No. I am the only human being in my office,

so it would be a fairly shallow pool. Besides, gambling on basketball tournaments is illegal, and one of these days the cops are going to come down hard on you tournament gamblers. All 310 million of you.

Do you still lift weights?Well, they’re not going to lift themselves. If

you mean do I still work out, the answer is yes, although I really just started up in earnest again, and believe me, Earnest is happy to see me. I was laid up for a while there with a bum hip. I was out of commission for about 30 pounds.

So you’re trying to lose weight?Yes. It takes time, lifting weights to lose

weight, but I find it’s worth the wait. And on that weighty note, you must excuse me. I have to go exercise and watch some basketball. Then, most importantly, I have to not call Mom.

My mother has a case of March Madness
