Donna Kishbaugh has a recipe for success that’s proving effective. Her combination of artistic abilities, business savvy and relentless hard work helped her launch a brand that’s gaining international attention.

The Westfield resident and mixed-media artist earned her master’s in creative writing before taking a job in pharmaceutical market-ing. Eventually, she decided to leave the guar-anteed paychecks of that profession to focus on her primary passion: art. She didn’t forget the lessons learned from that previous job, though, and she’s been able to combine her artistic skills and business sense into a career that’s taking her places.

Kishbaugh said her art comes in many forms and is heavily influenced by her travels abroad as well as her theatrical background, but re-gardless of the skill and creativity involved, she said she could never survive only creating the items she wanted. So she ditched the canvases and sculptures in an effort to create art that was functional. Though she still dabbles in other media on demand, Kishbaugh is best known for her one-of-a-kind handbags, jewelry and tin art.

“The marketing side of me said you have to create things that are going to sell,” she said. “These things speak to women. In this economy, I don’t care how bad it is, they will buy handbags.”

Over the past months, Kishbaugh’s business has boomed, and so has her brand. Many of her items, she said, are nearly impossible to keep in stock. Thanks to word of mouth and her efforts in online marketing, she recently began selling to her first international cus-tomers in England and hopes to reach more countries in the near future. However, some of the most notable recipients of Kishbaugh’s art reside in the United States.

Recently, Kishbaugh has created custom art for numerous celebrities including Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, writer Ray Bradbury, mem-bers of the rock band The Clash, the Pontani Sisters and local art enthusiasts Mindy Eiteljorg and Margo Lacy Eccles. Kishbaugh also cre-ated a unique handbag based on the 2005 film “Dreamer” and presented it to the movie’s co-star Dakota Fanning at the premiere.

“You should have seen her face. She was so excited,” Kishbaugh said. “Anytime I make something for someone, I don’t care who it is, if they’re that excited about it, it warms my heart.”

Last September, Kishbaugh essentially put her work on display for the entire world at

Fashion Week in New York City. A designer she knows was preparing to display her cloth-ing line in the show but needed jewelry and handbags for her models. Kishbaugh offered her work for consideration, the designer loved it and soon models were strutting down the epicenter of the fashion world wearing acces-

sories created in Westfield. “You know how many people want to get

into New York Fashion Week? We’re talking millions,” said Kishbaugh’s husband, Greg. “She decided she wanted to do it and she got it done. To me, that’s pretty freaking amazing.”

If she returns to Fashion Week this year, Kishbaugh said her art will be the featured item on the runway – not a mere accessory. It’s a perfect example of the drive and ambi-tion that took this Sheridan native as far as she’s come, and Kishbaugh said she hopes her success can inspire other local artists to pursue their own dreams.

“I think it’s important to let people know that you can do whatever you want,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re from a small farm town. You really can do whatever you want. You just have to work hard.”

Despite her busy schedule, Kishbaugh said she never turns down requests for custom art to be used in fundraisers. You may have seen some of her previous donations at Carmel’s Dog Day Afternoon or Rock the District, both of which featured one-of-a-kind creations for auction.

It is our position that school boards must very carefully wield the immense power that they possess is the public discourse. Boards in Noblesville, Carmel and elsewhere are scrambling to avoid the cuts necessitated by the difficult economic conditions of 2009 and, it is projected, 2010, faced by all busi-ness and government entities. Under new powers granted by our legisla-ture, the school executives are proposing referendum to increase taxes on homeowners directly to forestall the pain. In many cases, schools around the state are hiring consultants to help ensure the successful implementa-tion of the tax increase.

We look forward to a robust discussion about the uses of these funds and others within the existing budget that might help offset the new tax. In addition to an effort to maintain the status quo, we should be considering alternatives to significantly cut expenses to create a more efficient mecha-nism to deliver public education. But like government officials and employ-ees, board members, teachers and administrators must exercise great control to not use their public trust to self-interestedly advocate for or bully against honest, public discourse by and amongst those who pay their salaries.

The public trust Adjustable rateIt is our opinion that the recent warning

from Moody’s Investment Services about the potential downgrade of the U.S. credit rating may be the most frightening economic indicator yet to face our new Congress and president. We hope it is a wake-up call to Washington and to each of us – without improved federal budget deficit management and positive indicators of economic growth, we risk loss of a the coveted AAA Government Bond Rating.

The White House 2010 deficit forecast of $1.565 billion represents 10.6 percent of our gross domestic product and is the highest ratio of debt to GDP since WWII – if Moody’s acts on its warning, like an increasing adjustable rate mortgage, we would pay more for the same and strain our wounded economy.

It is time for the president, Congress and American citizens to make the disciplined decisions and thoughtful sacrifices necessary to ensure our do-mestic and international economy and the U.S. dollar remain strong in the world’s markets. Each of us has the right (and the obligation) to make a commitment to voice an opinion to Washington leadership before the situation worsens. And we should make use of that right.

COMMEntaRYBy terry anker

Why is it that my gray hairs seem to be made out of something entirely different from the other hairs on my head? The shaved-head guy that cuts my ever-thinning locks tells me the follicle changes, and not for the better, as we get older. Add that to the list. The strands stick straight out and simply refuse to get along with the others near them. Is it that they are simply cranky about the ever-increasing loss of their brethren? Or are they just no longer interested in putting the effort into being a color (Kermit always said it wasn’t “easy being green”)?

As we age, does our malleability necessar-ily have to suffer? In some ways, we become more open to new ideas and able to process new ways of thinking. But we more often fall into ever more rigid patterns and self-limiting options. Even as my kids are moving towards being willing to consider more than a couple of options for dining out (yes, I like McDonalds,

but in moderation), my 87 year-old mother-in-law is annually reducing the number of restau-rants she will consider (yes, I like Hackney’s, but in moderation). Is our receptiveness to different restricted by the bell curve?

Perhaps, we are simply surer what we like when we are very young or very old. Or maybe we are searching in between and settled on the ends? But, I fear the ultimate culprit is fear itself. In much the same way that we believe a fright will turn our hair white, the tentativeness of youth can in many ways be correlated with the loss of confidence in the super-geriatric. So for today, I intend to be bold – at least for a few more years. Wish me luck – and a youthful attitude.

We believe you’ve heard about a U.S. Senate plan to tax tanning salons 10 percent for services in an effort to help fund health care. Consider that such an imposition would most certainly result in layoffs. When taxes come, expenses have to go; in most cases, that means jobs. Health-care officials and advocates say the tax will cut down on skin cancer occurrences. While that may be true, it’s known that “artifi-cial tanning” also is of immense help in treating skin conditions. The bottom line is this: In order for this insanity to be propagated, it needs to pass the Senate AND the House. Most believe that won’t happen. We hope it doesn’t.

• • •Is the global warming effort falling apart?

According to The Associated Press, top U.N. climate change official Yvo de Boer an-nounced he was resigning after nearly four years, a period when governments struggled without success to agree on a new global warming deal. His resignation comes in the wake of the Climate-gate scandal, which started with the leak of stolen emails from top climate scientists that revealed sloppy science, the suppression of dissenting opin-ions and, therefore, flaws in the U.N’s top

climate policy document. Although more research needs to be conducted, we continue to believe the global warming movement deserves a healthy dose of skepticism.

• • •CLARIFICATION: Last week, we came out

against a tax for regional mass transporta-tion. We indicated it would be a $180-per-person tax. In actuality, it would be up to an additional .5 percent in our sales tax, which in Hamilton County, given its residents’ spending practices, could be well more than that per household. Of course, this would be a “forever” tax, just like the rest. And, natural-ly, it would guarantee more government jobs, healthy pensions and the like. Regardless, we’re still opposed to it.

WARNING: READING THE FOLLOWING MAY INDUCE NAUSEA, ESPECIALLY WHILE EATING BEEF STEW OR FOODS CONTAINING MARINARA.

“I love the smell of barf in the morning.” While I disagree with my son’s sentiments, I find it the perfect

way to start off this piece. My youngest has been vomit-free for 12 hours now, so I feel safe enough to share my experience with-out fear of jinxing myself or another member of my family. Lord knows I CANNOT live through another night like I had last night, at least not for another month or two.

I should have known things were about to get bad. My hus-band and I had just returned from a weekend getaway and, while feeling only somewhat rested, we were most certainly refreshed. But when we went to collect our children from the grandparents, my nephew heaved all over their beautiful Oriental. I did a quick calculation to determine how long my angels had been exposed to the spew devil and decided we were probably in the clear.

Six hours later, our 5-year-old began complaining of stomach pains, but like all good parents, we chalked up her antics to at-tention-seeking behavior and/or punishment for abandoning her. About an hour after that, she blew red chunks four times into the hall toilet. Yah, we were definitely not in the clear.

After quarantining the bathroom and Silkwooding ourselves with Clorox wipes and Dial soap, (safety first!) we put her to bed and tried to convince the poor thing that this was a one-time only occurrence: “Sweetie, you’ve gotten all those bad bugs off your tummy. You’ll be fine!” Swing and a miss.

She was not fine, nor would she be fine for the remainder of the night. Like clockwork, she threw up almost every hour on the hour until early morning. Most of the time, she reached the toilet, but

not always. A 1 a.m. cookie toss took place right in the middle of our bedroom, and despite the hand she threw over her little mouth, enough puke sprayed onto the floor that it was quite noticeable to me and my bare feet. Eww! At 3 a.m., she didn’t even make it out of her bed, though by that time, the only liquid left to ralf up on her comforter was the sip of water she had taken at 2.

I think I slept for three hours, four tops. It was like doing feedings back in Infantland, only I was awake more often and my baby was starring in “The Exorcist.” Thank goodness I had a slight head cold, because with the amount of gut acid I was swab-bing up, I most certainly would have become a disgorgement causality myself if I’d have gotten even the tiniest of whiffs.

Which brings me back to my eldest’s breakfast table quote. Quite literally, the house smelled sick this morning. Soiled sheets, towels, PJ’s – we’d left them all in a pile last night to be dealt with at a later and hopefully more awake time. I’m still waiting on that moment. In fact, I just now noticed that I have my drawstring sweats on inside-out and backward.

I’m not cut out for all-nighters anymore, and certainly not ones involving an upchucking pre-schooler who mutters such heart-breaking comments as, “I just want to be normal again” just as she’s regurgitated a Capri-Sun.

Well, I’m off to sanitize my family. And can I get some props for the number of ways I referred to “vomit” in this column? That takes creativity, especially for someone who’s so tired her stomach feels ill. Uh oh. Peace out.

Before an earthquake rocked the land and devastated the country, Westfield agriculture business Heartland Growers already had a pres-ence in Haiti as well as other impoverished nations, helping to provide food, health and education.

In 1969, Aart Van Wingerden started the non-profit organization Double Harvest based on gospel principles calling those who have to help those who have not. Today, his son-in-law and president of Westfield-based Heartland Growers, Jim Gapinski, is helping to carry on its mission. With locations in Haiti, Honduras, Ethiopia and Indonesia, Double Harvest is pro-viding means for the poor of these nations to learn and live better.

“People are hungry; they shouldn’t have to be hungry,” Gapinski said. “They don’t have the know-how to grow crops, yet they have the cli-mate to grow them.”

In Haiti specifically, Double Harvest owns a 200-acre property 12 miles outside the city and has been in the area for 30 years. The plot currently contains a K-12 school, a clinic, fields and two luxuries in the country: running water and electricity. In addition to providing numer-ous jobs, health care and supplies, the organi-zation educates some of the country’s poorest citizens in hopes of providing them a better life. Additional education opportunities are available

at the site’s trade school, which teaches carpen-try, welding, farming and other skills. Gapinski said he recently received a “thank you” from a University Miami graduate who began his edu-cation at Double Harvest’s schools.

“Any money made stays there; nothing comes back,” Gapinski said. “We’re investing in the people there. We’re investing in Haiti.”

In addition to the long-term “investment” in the country, Gapinski said Heartland Growers and Double Harvest are attending to Haiti’s im-mediate needs. Three 44,000-pound shipments of dried goods and other supplies have been as-sembled in Westfield and shipped between Jan. 25 and Feb. 3. Gapinski said the organization’s efforts to help improve the community will increase following the earthquake, but the exact details are still unknown.

COMMEntaRYBy Robin Chaddock“Initiative is that exceedingly rare quality that prompts – nay, impels – a person to do that which ought to be done, without being told to do it.”

- Napoleon Hill A few weeks ago, there was a devastating fire

in our dear city of Westfield. Several people in one family were involved, and they lost every-thing. There were children who now had no clothing and family members who were sudden-ly in a situation – in the middle of winter and just after the holidays – that many of us would just give up in the midst of.

A few years back, two very remarkable women in our community began a gathering of women called the Westfield Moms Club. The mission of that club is to do as much good in the city of Westfield as possible. You may have seen other projects they have spearheaded highlighted in the Current in the past, such as A Cinderella Story. Projects like that require many, many vol-unteer hours and a great deal of planning.

What impressed me about the fire, these women and the club was what happened next, without lots of volunteer hours or planning. It happened almost immediately.

When the situation of the family became

clear, the president of the club sent an e-mail to the more than 300 members, and clearly and thoroughly outlined the needs of the family, mostly in clothing, mostly for the kids.

I knew of a ministry in town that had cloth-ing, and – only several hours after the first e-mail came out – I suggested the president be in touch with the ministry. Perhaps they had some clothing they would be willing to donate.

Her reply was, “Everything is all taken care of.”

My reply was, “This community is AMAZING!”

Nobody told those two women they should start the club. Nobody told them when the fire devastated the family, that the Westfield Moms Club should do something. Nobody told all the wonderful people who stepped up at once with donations that they should do what they did. They just did. And they touched the hearts of everyone involved – and many of the onlookers, too.

Westfield citizens step up once again

Westfield High School Key Club is hosting its first-ever “Cornhole for Cancer” Saturday, March 6 to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a national voluntary health agency committed to fighting all blood cancer types.

Westfield Key Club is a student-led service organization part of the International Key Club, which promotes student leadership and community involvement. In the past, the Key Club had attempted to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by pass-ing around buckets, but those efforts were largely unsuccessful. So the decision was made to start “Cornhole for Cancer” as an annual event, and with the new idea, the Key Club has set a new goal of $1500 dollars.

“We wanted to do something big and

create an annual event to raise awareness for a national group,” said Valerie Love, adviser of the Westfield High School Key Club. “We wanted an event that we could do in one day that wouldn’t cost any money. Everybody can

participate in cornhole – young and old.”

The fundraiser is a double-elimination

tournament, and each team must consist of two players over the age of 12. A $20 registra-tion fee is required of all participants. That money will go towards both the donation fund and the $50 prize that will go to the tournament champion. The event will be held from 1:30 to 4 p.m. in the Westfield Middle School west gymnasium.

For more information, they have created a website, www.cornhole4cancer.org, that you can visit and print out a registration form. The public is welcome to attend and is encouraged to bring the entire family.

COMMEntaRY By ken kingshill

Something is going on in Westfield and Carmel that I think deserves more attention.

Did you know the governments of the two cities are not only getting along but are collabo-rating on several projects and initiatives? In this era of discord and strife at all levels of govern-ment, I think it’s refreshing that two neighbor-ing municipalities are playing so nicely together in the sandbox.

Since Westfield has become and city, Mayor Andy Cook has made the words integrity, inno-vation and accountability mean something. One of his quiet innovations has been his ability to work effectively with other jurisdictions. Several partnerships between Westfield and Carmel pro-vide compelling examples.

From the very beginning, the mayor has col-laborated with his counterpart in Carmel to effectively influence the process and design of the U.S. 31 freeway project. It was imperative that INDOT heard and considered our con-cerns before boldly moving forward with their plans to move as much traffic through Hamilton County as possible. That process is on-going.

The zip code issue is another example of collaboration between the two administra-tions. Contrary to some popular belief, the issue is not one of “us against them.” Westfield has

legitimate concerns about residences and busi-nesses with confusing addresses. Carmel has simi-lar concerns. For instance, there are many Carmel residents who receive this version of Current simply because they have a Westfield address. By working together, we have convinced the Postal Service that there is a problem and it has agreed to take steps to address it (pun intended).

Another combined effort is the Make it Fit Now Wellness Program currently underway. The two mayors have a friendly competition going to see which city’s citizens are more fit. I under-stand there will be some sort of informal wager between the two executives. This is another nice example of working well together for the benefit of both communities.

None of this partnering is possible without regular contact between members of the two ad-ministrations. In fact, not only do both mayors meet regularly, but their city staffs do as well.

Both mayors have stated that partnering on issues that affect both cities can have more of a positive impact on both communities than going it alone. I think they’re right.

… IS good for the gander, too. I was watch-ing a program on obesity in children on which the dilemma for the mom of two daughters was that one daughter (12) was perfectly within her proper weight, while the younger daughter (11) was 75 pounds overweight.

In order for the mom to help the obese child, she felt she had to feed each daughter differ-ently. Not surprisingly, the doctor’s remedy was that the mom be consistent with a healthy eating lifestyle for both girls – and the entire family, for that matter. It looked to me that the mom could also benefit from a healthier eating lifestyle.

I bring this up because I believe the doc-tor’s advice on using consistent standards for healthy eating lifestyles also applies to consistent standards for healthy behavior lifestyles. For example, one child’s disposition accepts respon-sibility for poor behavior while another, within the same family, does not accept responsibility for poor behavior.

We scratch our heads wondering how they can be so different. And then we figuratively beat ourselves up over how to handle each child. Here, then, are steps to consider, regard-less of the temperament, disposition or age

of the child. I practically guarantee effective parenting results when we apply these proven methods of behavioral accountability consistently for each family member.

1. Take or give ownership to the behavior, be it ours or the child’s.

2. Pay attention to the clues leading up to the misbehavior. Remember, experts agree there are only five reasons children misbehave.

3. Mentally separate the behavior from the child. Control the behavior not the child.

4. Give the behavior a name treating each behavior as if it’s a first time occurrence.

5. Include the child in the solution to the behavior. This encourages personal accountability.

6. Communicate rather than coerce.7. Be consistent, consistent and consistent

in your approach to teaching the behavior you need to achieve.

Consistency provides our children with stabil-ity and individuality. Hugs!

“He’s Just Not That Into You” was the title of a somewhat popular movie of 2009. I haven’t seen it. And I’m not going to. But the title of the movie brings about an interesting grammati-cal conundrum: the use of into.

Use of into as a slang term to mean “deeply interested in” began in the 1960s, and while the usage still exists – thrives, even – in informal use, it’s not a use that should be employed in any formal communication. It’s perfectly accept-able for the title of a dopey romantic comedy, though.

But I’m not going to devote a whole column to the slang use of a preposition. I will, however, devote a whole column to the use of into.

There seems to be a great amount of confu-sion about when to use into versus in to. One of the most basic ways to determine whether you need one word or two is by listening to how the sentence sounds if you use to words.

Without his glasses, Marcus ran into the wall.Mildly bruised, he came in to eat. If you separate into in the first sentence, it

doesn’t make much sense. The second sen-tence makes perfect sense, though. That won’t

work every time, but it’s a good starting point. Additionally, if the word to is part of an infini-tive verb form (to eat, to swim, to gargle), it cannot be part of the single word into. You cannot come into warm up or stop into visit. You have to come in to warm up or stop in to visit.

If that’s not enough, consider this: Into generally denotes an entrance of some sort, but in to refers to a location (versus out to, for example). So you can invite someone in to dinner, but you probably wouldn’t want them to invite them into dinner unless you have a really strange food fetish your friends are also involved in. Or you’re a cannibal.

I suppose you could avoid the confu-sion entirely by inviting your friends in for dinner. Oh, wait. Never mind. Invite them in to eat. Ack! Go out to eat, folks. It’s safer. As long as you remember the comma.

What’s good for the goose …

What are you into?

It’s perfectly acceptable for the title of a dopey romantic comedy, though.

» Legal issues – By supporting your favorite sports team, charitable organiza-tion, or new car dealership, you might be breaking the law. Law requires that all text and numbers on a license plate be fully visible and not even partially obscured by plate frames or covers. Check your license plate to make sure everything – including the lettering and numbering above and below the main numbers – is visible. Fines for failing to do so can be substantial.

» Allergy-friendly gardening – With the planting season nearing, you may be planning your garden. If so, and if you are a seasonal allergy sufferer, consider avoiding chrysanthemums, privet, palm and mulberry trees, juniper, and cypress, as well as Bermuda, fescue, and perennial rye grasses. You’ll do better with hy-drangeas, viburnum, begonias, bulbs like tulips and iris, dogwood trees, azaleas, boxwood, daisies, geraniums, pansies, petunias, sunflowers, and zinnias.

During the Gallery Walk on Feb. 13, Fat Atom Internet Marketing debuted its new loca-tion in Carmel’s Arts and Design District and unveiled an aerosol mural painting on the inside of their office walls. The painting was created by two Broadripple aerosol artists known as the FAB Crew.

“We wanted to show aerosol art in a positive way as a legitimate art form and as a cutting edge piece of art,” said Vicki Burdick, Fat Atom public relations specialist.

Tours and refreshments were offered from 5 until 10 p.m. During this time, the public was invited and welcomed to stop by and meet Fat Atom owner Todd Muffey, as well as enjoy the freshly painted mural. It took a week of consec-utive painting and the majority of three days to finish. The artists, who met at Ben Davis High School, started out by sketching the outline and then they began the painting process.

The mural had no theme in general, but was painted with vivid colors and in a positive way, rather than the negative connotation that is often perceived with aerosol art forms such as graffiti. The new location was really the move-ment behind the mural.

The Fat Atom team chose to relocate its office because it is a design company and wanted to be a part of the art community. With the new mural painting and a new location, the Internet

marketing firm hopes to become a successful part of the Arts and Design District.

“We wanted to introduce ourselves to down-

town Carmel, and because we relocated, we wanted to do something big,” Burdick said.

COMMEntaRYBy Chef Michael Vlasich

If you read my column with any regular-ity, you know I am desperately seeking out the warmth of spring and summer, having already begun the journey mentally. This week, while I was surfing the Web for spring break flights to Florida, I ran across a statement that could be false this year because of an enemy. It said, “February is fabulous Florida strawberry month.”

But looking in the store, this was not the case. In fact, we will be lucky to see them at all this year, due to the worst enemy a berry can have, unseasonably cold and violent weather.

Originally native to both Europe and the Americas, berries are now are cultivated from Alaska to Chile. The U.S. produces 75 percent of the world’s consumption; the rest come from Canada, Japan, Australia and Africa.

Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the spring each year, and they are the only fruit with seeds on the outside of the body. Technically they are not from the berry variety; they are from the rose family. Remember this fact, as it may win you big money on a trivia game show some day.

The strawberry has long been a symbol of love and the mythical god Venus. It is one of the special foods considered an aphrodisiac, and it has amazing nutritional values, as it contains considerable amounts of vitamin C, folic acid, potassium and fiber, and it is considered an antioxidant.

Strawberries are fat free, with one cup of un-sweetened strawberries having only 55 calories. In ancient times, medicine men believed they cured everything from fevers to gout, kidney stones, depression, blood diseases, infections and fainting. In other venues, stone masons used them in carvings on pillars, in churches and government buildings to symbolize perfec-tion and righteousness. One interesting histori-cal fact is there is no mention of strawberries in the Bible, even though they have been around forever.

We often associate strawberry shortcake with

summer. This was first invented by the colonists, who modified the idea from the native Indians, who were making a bread for which they mashed fresh strawberries to make a summer-time treat. The version we eat today is a modifi-cation of the shortcake the colonists made.

The following is an easy recipe to use when you have less than desirable strawberries to use in a dessert. You will look like a pastry chef hero!

The worst enemy a berry can have

Ingredients:• 2 pints fresh strawberries, tops off and

cut in half (save 4 each whole berries with tops to garnish)

• 1 jar strawberry sauce• 1 each 8 oz. loaf pound cake cut in 1/2“

cubes• 1 small box Jell-O custard mix (do not

make until ready to assemble)• ½ pint whipping cream made into

sweetened whipped creamDirections:

Use 4 tall pilsner or champagne glasses. Make the custard according to the recipe on the box, and whip cream when you’re ready to make the dessert. Mix the sliced strawberries with enough sauce to bind and sweeten the berries. Begin by taking some berries and putting a layer in the bottom of the glass. Next, place a layer of cubed pound cake. Next, place a layer of custard, then a layer of strawberries, followed by a layer of whipped cream and another layer of cubed cake. Continue layers until glass is full. The top should be whipped cream topped with a whole strawberry with to

How important is that small butterfly-shaped gland in your neck known as the thyroid? Every tissue in your body requires the thyroid hor-mone to function optimally, and having too much or too little thyroid can cause widespread symptoms affecting both mind and body.

Fatigue, unexplained weight loss or gain, menstrual changes, dry skin, hair loss, heart palpitations, sleep issues, foggy thinking, muscle aches and constipation or diarrhea are only some of the symptoms associated with altera-tions in thyroid function.

Screening for thyroid issues can be done by checking the TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) level, a signal hormone produced by the pituitary. It is important to note the TSH level runs opposite of the function of the thyroid gland. If the TSH is running high, the thyroid is under producing thyroid hormone. This is called hypothyroidism (hypo = low). If the TSH is low, then it is called hyperthyroid-ism (hyper = high).

Medications can be used to supplement low thyroid hormone levels, while symptoms of overproduction can be treated by medications, or in more severe cases, having the thyroid

treated with radioactive iodine or surgery.Since the normal laboratory range for TSH

is fairly broad, those with a family history of thyroid disease or non resolving symptoms consistent with thyroid problems may ask their doctor to check free levels of the two most active thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, along with thy-roid antibody testing to rule out a thyroid issue caused by a person’s immune system attacking the thyroid gland, known as thyroiditis.

The symptoms of a thyroid disorder can be subtle and come on slowly, or triggered quickly by a physical stressor such as a viral infection or childbirth. The elderly, perimenopause, or per-sons with autoimmune or endocrine problems such as diabetes are also at risk for developing thyroid problems.

Because the symptoms of a thyroid problem overlap with other potential causes, it can be easy to miss a thyroid issue. So, if you haven’t been feeling your best lately, consider asking, “Hey doc, could it be my thyroid?”

Hey, doc, could it be my thyroid?

COMMEntaRYBy Dr. David Sullivan

All too often I see patients who present to my practice complaining of significant pain they have had for three, six, nine weeks, sometimes months. They think it will go away without re-alizing what the actual problem is.

Sometimes they can attribute it to a certain event, such as spending all day walking in flip flops at the mall or going on a vacation where they walked a lot on the beach. But more often, they have no idea what caused the pain. The dangers of assuming foot or ankle pain will go away are serious. A couple of the more glaring examples:

Minor stress fractures that occur for different reasons can, if left untreated, develop into true fractures with displacement of bone and a pos-sible need for surgery. A stress fracture can be adequately treated most of the time with a rigid-soled shoe or boot and no “down time.”

Plantar fasciitis is much more easily treated with conservative measures if the symptoms have not been persisting for 6-12 months or more. Usually, these small-duration-of-symp-toms patients will be 80 percent improved by the second appointment and go on to a full recovery within a few more weeks.

My goal is to efficiently treat all my patients so they can return to work or play as soon as possible with as few visits as can be managed. This goal is much more easily achieved when the patient presents to the office when pain initially presents itself rather than waiting too long, thus necessitating more extensive treatment.

Why people should not ignore foot pain

Plantar fasciitis is much more easily treated with conservative measures if the symptoms have not

been persisting for 6-12 months or more.

» Avoid OLED TVs – Whatever happens in Japan is usually replicated across the world a few years later, so while LG, Mit-subishi and co are busy readying OLED TVs, Sony's pulling out of OLED produc-tion in Japan. They'll still continue selling OLED TVs internationally, but won't pur-sue the Japanese market anymore, due to slow sales. Their XEL-1 was the first to hit the market, just two years ago, and sells for 200,000 Yen ($2,222) in Japan – all 11 inches of it. No wonder they didn't catch on. If you were considering a super-slim, super-expensive set this year, then LG's expected to release a 15-inch model in the States this year – though with the death knell being sounded proceed at your own caution.

COMMEntaRYBy gary hubbard

For those who haven’t been paying attention, the world is in the midst of another communication revolution and Google (of all tech companies!) is actu-ally trying to catch up with the crowds with Google Buzz.

I view the current “social revolu-tion” as the third great shift in the per-sonal computer revolution, and anyone who ignores it will essentially be “off the grid” in the near future.

The initial revolution of the personal computer made way for the Internet revolution, which has now transitioned into this social revolution that most of us are still trying to figure out.

In today’s world, you would view any person or company that did not use personal comput-ers or the Internet as out of the loop and a bit odd; the same will occur in the near future for those who don’t engage in the social revolution.

As a consumer, what is your perspective of a business or individual in today’s tech age that doesn’t have a Web site or doesn’t use e-mail? Over time, this view will be the same for companies and individuals that don’t use the social technologies that are exploding.

Social tech is not a fad, and Google knows it. Facebook is the current king of social tech,

with an estimated (as of this writing) 400 mil-lion users worldwide. To put it into perspective, if Facebook were a country, it would now be the third largest in the world behind China and India.

Google Buzz is a new option that is appearing only for those who use Google’s e-mail system Gmail.

In its current iteration, it looks like Google is trying to cut into Facebook’s turf and integrate features that are similar to what Twitter is all about.

It can serve as a basic “aggregator” for various social media sites, but oddly it has no integra-tion with Facebook (which is why most are

speculating it is the target). Frankly, Google Buzz is so new that

unless you are an “early adopter” of technology, you should probably let them get through a couple of develop-ment cycles with the early adopter crowd before you jump in.

Unless you’re using Gmail, it’s a moot point on using it, as there is no stand-alone version of Google Buzz.

The biggest concerns in the early stages of Buzz seem to be in the area of privacy, primarily in the area of the way you automatically get followed or start to follow others.

If you are a Gmail user and want to avoid any of the privacy issues being voiced by critics, you need to do more than just click on ‘Turn off Buzz,” as that simply turns off what you see, but not necessarily what you are partici-pating in.

Cnet’s Jessica Dolcourt has posted an excel-lent step-by-step tutorial on how to ensure that none of your “privates” are included in the Buzz: http://bit.ly/dw1ubz.

» Pulled together – If you’re a rugged guy who doesn’t dress up much (jeans or overalls are your standard fare), consider this style tip for when you need to look more pulled together: adding a leather jacket dresses up a basic polo shirt and jeans. And when you want to appear authoritative, scientific studies show that the color red lets everyone else in the room know who is running the show. A brown leather jacket is a bit more sophisticated and work friendly than its black counterpart.

Once and for all, I would like to shatter the urban legend of the “Deep-Colored Paint Shrinks Room.” It is an erroneous belief that the only way to make a room appear larger is to paint it a light color!

The real secret to the illusion of space is to walk the eye where you want it to go, regardless of saturation of color! Because the belief of “pale color equals big room” has permeated the core of our decorating culture, I know I am going to have to offer hard evidence to prove my point.

Consider where drapery panels are hung in a room. Most homeowners will plaster those puppies about an inch above the window molding and call it a day. Well, well, well … if I could have my drapery installer on hand at all times, I would, on the spot, have him re-mount them close to the ceiling. The difference would be immediately evident.

Still dubious? Consider my rendering that shows an elevation and two identical windows. One set of panels is hung the way so many homeowners are prone to do. The other is hung closer to the ceiling.

If you are now a believer in the art judicious po-sitioning, another recommendation is to refrain from using a severe horizontal va-lance or cornice.

Anything that draws a bold line across the top is going to pull the

ceiling down. Just adding movement to the bottom of the cornice or valance

can trick the eye into moving up and down so the eye does not stop at the lowest point of the cornice.

This strategy holds true for a bath, as well. When mounting a shower curtain, hang it higher than usual for drama and the feel of higher ceilings. This will probably require a custom shower curtain but the differ-ence between one that arrives in a plastic wrapper and a custom curtain that is lined and interlined is worlds apart.

In the dining room, try chairs with a higher than normal back. High-backed chairs are dramatic and work to take the eye from the floor up!

In the kitchen, brightly colored or reflective elements of inter-est that are carefully positioned above the cabinets, will attract the eye and help create the illusion of height and space.

So now, grab a paint roller saturated with a deep color, a marshmallow on a stick and gather around the Viking Cooktop and tell stories about the House of Blue Lights!

Water cures a lot, but not

dry skinMany folks believe that drinking eight glasses of water a day keeps a person’s skin hydrated. That is a myth, and we’ll debunk it here. It is important to keep your body, including your skin, hydrated, however the outermost layer of skin does not absorb water since it is made up of dead skin cells. Moisture level of skin is not determined by inter-nal factors, but rather external ones, such as cold or hot air, dry heat and by the number of oil-pro-ducing glands you have. So if you want to hydrate your skin, exfoliate it weekly with a sea-salt scrub or other exfoliating agent to remove dead skin, and then apply a rich moisturizer while your skin still is damp.

COMMEntaRYBy David Cain

It is midday on a Saturday, I’m home alone with the kids, and we are watching the sun glis-tening on the falling flurries. My oldest daugh-ter, who is almost four years old, and I are both staring out the window wondering what the day holds for us. Our ritual Saturday journey to Costco for sure, but what else? Her little 2-year-old sister hovers nearby, not old enough to participate in this C-level discussion, but keenly interested nonetheless. I asked the oldest, “What do you want to do today?” Her reply was sur-prising and adorable: “Let’s go trick-or-treating!”

Admittedly it was an outlandish request, but it actually made some sense. Why were there so many rules? Why couldn’t we go trick-or-treating in January? Well, aside from the obvious hurdles – the snow, no costumes, and the likely reactions from neighbors – I found something reasonable in her energetic request. I was feel-ing a bit like getting out of the house too, and

I couldn’t think of a time when candy is a bad idea.

We didn’t go; instead I negotiated a visit to the CVS candy isle. We went as well bundled up travelers, our ghost bag we swapped for a small metal cart, our “trick-or-treat” was replaced with a “thank you,” and the whole deal cost us just more than $20.

This day reminded me I shouldn’t limit my thinking. She had redefined thinking outside the box. She was an innovator with no limits. As I push on with my workdays, I think while I drive to work, “Let’s go trick or treating today!” and then remember I can do anything I want. Well, anything I want or some suitable and calendar-appropriate alternative.

WHAT’S IT WORTH

MY OPINION$170k

COMMEntaRY By Ryan C. Fuhrmann

j2 Global Communications (Nasdaq: JCOM) is a tiny but profitable provider of online fax, voice, email and other call-handling services. Recent growth trends have soured along with a downturn of the overall economy, but j2’s valuation already discounts these more tepid near-term trends, which could pique the interest of a strategic acquirer.

Third-quarter sales increased ever so slightly, rising 0.3% to $61.8 million on a modest boost in subscriber revenue.

In terms of profitability, gross margins improved eight basis points to 81.8% of sales, while operating margins improved 220 basis points to 43.1% of sales. Management claimed its “operational excellence” con-tributed to a 2.7% boost in net income to $19.3 million, or a healthy 31.2% of sales. Diluted earnings improved 2.3% to 43 cents per share as shares outstanding increased slightly.

2 Global’s free cash flow exceeded reported net income and grew an impressive 74% from last year’s Q3. Analysts currently project full-year earnings of $1.85 per share, which puts the stock at a very reasonable 10.51 forward P/E. They expect revenue to improve a modest 2% to $246.4 million. j2 also sports nearly $5 in cash per share on the balance sheet and boasts no long-term debt. Returns on invested capital are also impressive.

Bottom line: Investors stand to benefit from a number of angles. Sales and profit could return to the double digits, the low earnings multiple could expand or a strategic buyer could emerge.

j2 Global an appealing small-cap tech play

Dempsey is a 1-year-old male black lab mix. He is one big goof ball! He does not know his own strength or size, so right now this big guy needs to be in a home with teens who can handle his level of excitement. Dempsey is a sociable boy, happy for every little thing that happens his way. He knows the commands “sit,” “down” and “speak.” He has all the right stuff to become a wonderful family pet, but his new owners should consider taking him to obedience school. Dempsey is neutered and even though you not notice it, Dempsey has an injured knee that will require surgery (CCL to be exact) and this will mean we need to raise funds for him and find a foster home where he can recover.

Navajo is a 2-year-old female tabby with white DMH. Navajo has such an angelic face, and she is a snuggly love-bug who will purr and purr! She has the softest fur, making you want to hold and pet her all day. Navajo is a very sweet and affectionate girl, and the stress of the shelter environment is some-times too much for her to handle, and we know that if she were in a home environ-ment she would be so much happier!

For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974 or go to www.hamiltonhumane.com.

PEtS OF thE WEEk

» Teach your cat to sit - According to animal trainer Anne Gordon, you start teaching the "sit" command with a hungry cat, a table, and a quiet room. Get your cat to stand up by touching her in front of her tail and then hold the treat a little over her head, saying her name and the command "sit." Slowly move the treat between your cat's ears, but not high enough for her to pick her front paws off the ground and grab the tidbit. Instead, she'll sit. After she does, praise her and give her the treat. Work in short sessions and be patient.

» Stretch pet food budget – Supple-menting your pet’s diet with scraps can be a smart move, according to Babette Gladstein, a veterinarian at Bglad Vet-erinary Services in New York City – but don't just treat your pet like a garbage disposal with a tail; rather, feed her as if she were your 90-year-old grandmother. "No spices, no dairy; be careful with fat; most lean meats and fish are good, as well as vegetables," Gladstein says. "Start your pet on a small amount of the food and, if she reacts well, incorporate more of it into her diet, up to 50 percent of her meals." Some human foods are dangerous for animals to eat, though. Make sure you are familiar with which foods are toxic to pets.

DISPatChESCOMMENTARYBy John Mikesell

Acupuncture helps dogs with the side effects of cancer (and its treatments). Here is what you can do:

• Get a con-firmed cancer diagnosis before seeking out the assistance of a veterinary acupuncturist.

• Look for a veterinarian who has earned the designation of Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA).

• Inform your dog’s oncologist of your plans to utilize acupuncture in her treatment plan; a complementary approach is best.

• Maintain realistic expectations about how your dog will respond and focus on quality of life; acupuncture is not a cure for cancer.

Randomized clinical trials in humans have shown acupuncture is effective for dealing with chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting as well as post-operative pain, cancer-related pain, chemotherapy-induced lecopenia (excessive reduction in white blood cells), fatigue, xerosto-mia (unusual dryness of the mouth), and pos-sibly insomnia, anxiety and quality of life.

The National Cancer Institute notes that the oldest medical book known to man – written in China 4000 years ago – mentions acupunc-ture being used to treat medical problems. Acupuncture has been used for about 200 years

in the United States.Susan Wynn, DVM, CVA of Georgia

Veterinary Specialists in Atlanta, Ga., has been using acupuncture with her cancer clients for 11 years. She notes we’ve not yet seen studies conduct using dogs as subjects that are similar to studies that have shown positive results in humans. However, she adds, “Anecdotal evi-dence mirrors what has been shown in people. The species are similar enough, and there are enough historical data that we feel confident using some human studies as guides to what we do.”

Acupuncture will not cure cancer, but it is the quality of life for our furry friends that we are all looking for, so the decision to use acupuncture is a personal choice. Check with your veterinar-ian for recommendations.

COMMEntaRYBy Dick Wolfsie

“Squids weigh up to 60 pounds and squirt ink – kind of ironic because that also describes me in the third grade …”

Does that sentence look familiar? It should. It’s from my column last week. The line made my wife laugh. She giggled about it all night.

Yes, I enjoy entertaining Mary Ellen, but I do not depend on her for just laughs. I also need her to annoy, befuddle or exasperate me. That’s where my column ideas come from. And for the past nine years, she’s been a trouper. She’s complained about my napping, my sense of direction and my messiness. She’s told me how scatter-brained I am. She has been my rock, the well I went to when I needed material for my weekly feature.

Lately, I have started to lose a little confidence in her abilities.

Last Sunday night was a good example. After the Super Bowl, she was about to select a movie from our ON DEMAND menu and I knew this was potential grist for the humor mill. “She’s going to pick out a chick flick,” I thought to myself. What a great story that will make: A husband tortured by an old movie that no self-respecting man could possibly enjoy. She’ll

call me insensitive and a lout. The column was half-written in my head by the time she grabbed the remote.

“How about this one, Dick? ‘Die Hard’ with Bruce Willis. That sounds like a good one.”

“No, Mary Ellen, that’s a horrible selection! How about a movie that’s all character develop-ment, exquisite cinematography and absolutely no plot?

“No, I think ‘Die Hard’ is better. Besides, it will make you happy.”

“No. I don’t want to be happy. I’ve got a column to write.”

The next night things got worse. We decided to grab a bite to eat. My wife usually wants to go to some place a little fancier than I’d nor-mally opt for. I’ll make a case for fast food and Mary Ellen calls me a skinflint. Great humorous essays are made from this very marital conflict.

“Okay, Dick. How about Steak ’n Shake? I’m really in the mood for a burger.”

“No, no, you’re not in the mood for a burger. You’re just dying for crab legs, or a market-priced lobster. Come on! Work with me! Call me a tightwad!”

“Nah, a burger sounds good. But first, I need to stop by Kohl’s and look for a new winter

coat.”Saved! This would take her at least two hours.

I would wait in the car where I could say in my column that I filled out my entire 2009 tax return. Oh, this had the potential for some really funny stuff.

“Hi, Dick, I’m back. Nice coat, huh?”“You’ve been gone only 10 minutes.”“I saw exactly what I wanted as soon as I

walked in the store.”“No, no! You have to try on dozens of coats.

And not be happy with any of them. Then you’ll come out to the car with four pairs of shoes, instead. You’re killing me, here.”

“You know, Dick. I’m on to you. You want me to behave in a certain way so you’ll have a topic for a column about our marriage. Without me, you’re an empty shell, a man devoid of original ideas, a writer without a muse.”

“Oh, thank you, thank you. I was afraid I was never going to make that deadline.”
