New Beginnings
H
appy New Year! Hopefully your holidays were wonderful
and relaxing and you made lots of great memories.
Now it’s a new year, full of possibilities (and maybe a few
resolutions to keep). For us at Capture Media, the new year
means new magazines—a fresh look, a cleaner design and
more reader-friendly features. We’ve been pondering some
changes for a while, having our designers turn their critical
eye on the look of the magazine and think of ways to make
it more streamlined in appearance and easier to read. We’ve
taken into account your suggestions, too, about things you
like about the publications and some things you weren’t so
thrilled with.
We’ve started at the front, with a brand-new cover design
and an updated table of contents. Rather than highlighting
just a few of the stories and features you’ll find inside, now
we’re listing everything up front, providing a better guide to
the entire magazine. Before diving in each month you can get
an idea of what’s inside (we’ll still have a theme each month,
and include lots of great information based on that theme,
such as Spring Cleaning or Outdoor Living). Then you can
turn right to the story that interests you or solves a problem
you’ve been having (organizing your closets, perhaps, or
winterizing your lawn).
Another change for the magazines is our classified section.
We will still provide a free classified ad to all neighborhood
residents—a great way as always to reach your neighbors—
but we are updating this section to make it an even more
effective marketplace, full of targeted, up-to-the-minute ads.
Essentially, we’ve spent the last 12 months listening to our
homeowners, trying to understand what you’re looking for.
We’ve tailored our changes to fit those needs, and we hope
you enjoy them. As always, we look forward to continued
growth—ours and yours—and to helping your homeowners
association board better serve the whole community.

The Centennial Declaration | January 2010
President’s Message
Dear Centennial Homeowner,
I thought my President’s message this month would
be the easiest one to write.
My three year term as a
Board Member is ending. It
also ends my run as your
President of three years. I
am struggling with this article
because of all the feelings
I have and the wonderful
memories you have made
for me over these past three
years. I am humbled by your
gratitude not only towards
me but of the board members
I have served with throughout my tenure. You put
your trust and faith in me when you voted me into
office in 2007. This was our founding year, the year
we took over management of Centennial ourselves.
After your votes were counted and we had 9 members
forming our first Board, these nine people, who in
many instances did not know each other, had to elect
officers to serve you. I am not quite sure how I came
to be elected that night by people I hardly knew or in
some cases complete strangers, but I was.
I thought at the time, I can do this for a year, help
establish our fledgling Association, put in some
procedures, and prepare the ground for the next
President, a year later. We did accomplish a lot
that first year together as a Board. We established
staggered terms of office for elected officials. This
meant that every year at our annual meeting you
vote for 3 members who will serve a three year
term. This leaves 6 members with experience on
the Board and brought stability and continuity to our
organization. We learned about the true costs of
running Centennial ourselves. We learned how to
function as a Board Team. As such, we were able
to improve vendor lists and our contract negotiating
skills. We established a reserve fund that first year
to secure future financial stability. We had other major
challenges in our first year, but we met them face on
and came in on budget. Having reached the end of
2007 in relatively good shape, my year as President
was done or so I thought.
Say you saw it in… The Centennial Declaration
The result of staggered terms meant that 3 of the
originally elected Board could serve for 3 years,
hence I stayed. Each of the next 2 years, the new
Board Members, elected me to serve once again as
your President. This is something I did not seek.
Throughout this time, I endeavored to lead Centennial
in the hopes of making this the ideal place to live.
I also felt in my heart that Centennial should be a
place where children, teens, singles, and families
mix together, know each other, help each other, and
grow to love this place we call home. We developed
a slogan that “Centennial is a place where our
neighbors are our friends.” Our Board tries to foster
this in our decision making and care of the property.
Social events throughout the year enhance the
opportunities to get to know our neighbors.
Community, however, is not defined by what the Board
does or doesn’t do. It is defined by what you do.
Once I leave the Board, my mission will still be the
same. I want to dream about what life in Centennial
can be. Then, try to move us in that direction by my
individual actions and the engagement of others.
I want to brag about Centennial when I am out in
public or with friends who don’t live here. I want to
meet as many of you as I can and get to know you.
I want to help you when you need help. I want to
serve on a committee that will help us improve our
community. I want to ask you to serve along with me.
Find a committee to work on or meet with a Board
Member about forming a new committee where you
see a need that is not currently being met. Are you
a dream maker or a dream breaker? You see, my
term of office is over, but my volunteer activity within
this community will continue. I hope to see all of you
at the Annual Meeting, January 12 as we elect and
install the new Board Members.
As I leave the Board, it is in good hands. I have
enjoyed being President. It has been an honor and
privilege to have served you these past three years. I
wish to thank all the Board Members past and present
who served with me and made my job easier.
Happy New Year and Blessings to you,
Jim Ake
President, Centennial Homeowner’s Association

FROM THE BOARD
CHOA Board Committees
The governing documents—particularly the bylaws—
identify certain standing committees or authorize the board
to appoint committees. Committees serve three purposes.
First, they assist the board in meeting its responsibilities
by gathering information and making recommendations.
Second, they broaden the community’s input on decisions
by serving as a means of gathering residents’ opinions and
attitudes. Finally, they serve as a good source and good
training ground for future board members.
Committees should be created by a resolution of the board.
The resolution should set forth the committee’s authority
and scope of responsibility, its membership, the term of
office, and the relationship of the committee to the board
and other committees. Below are the committees being
proposed for 2010. If you are interested in participating in
a committee, there will be sheets to sign up at the annual
meeting, or you can send an email to choa@gotown.net
expressing you interest and experience in these areas.
Although the board has the authority to create committees,
in most circumstances, the board is ultimately responsible for
the committees’ actions or lack of action. The board cannot
relieve itself of liability by assigning a problem to a committee.
Thus, committees generally serve in an advisory capacity at
the pleasure of the board.
Each committee will have a Committee Chair and that chair is
not necessarily a board member if a board member is on the
committee. The Committee Chair will keep minutes of any
meetings and will send copies of those minutes to the Board
Secretary along with their Monthly Report. Committees will
have a Code of Ethics similar to that of the board.

A Very Special Day with Santa
By Heather Brownell
Approximately 50 children and their families attended Centennial’s first “Day with Santa” event which was held the first Saturday
in December at the Meeting House in Centennial South. Participants were able to decorate a cookie, make a reindeer candy
cane craft for their tree (or tummy!), hear a story by Tammie the Elf or Mrs. Claus, and of course, visit and have their picture
taken with dear Old St. Nick! All of those in attendance seemed to think the event was a great success and should be held
in 2010. A big thank you to the following individuals who helped to make this event a success – Tammie Gabriel, Jim and
Mary Ake, Jim Brownell, Rodney Gabriel, Jill Doyle, Rebecca Fanter, Tom Barbera, Donya McKinnon, Mackenzie Green,
Julie Santiago, David Evans, Lindsay Seyferth, and Tom Ancich.

Tips ...
To Protect Your Home From Severe Weather
Chimney and furnace fires
While fire presents a year-round risk, certain causes of fire
occur more frequently during the winter. Chimneys, boilers and
furnaces are particular risks. Approximately 25,000 residential
fires begin in a fireplace or chimney every year, according to the
Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Why so many? Over time, a layer of unburned carbon-based
residues (sometimes referred to as fireplace creosote) builds
up along the inside walls of your chimney and can eventually
catch fire. The solution is to have a trusted, professional
chimneysweep clean and inspect your chimney annually.
W
hen people think of winterizing their homes, most often
their heating bills spring to mind - along with insulation and
weather stripping. The winter months bring not only high energy
bills, but also an increased chance of certain kinds of damage to
your home and its contents.
An annual inspection is just as important for those with furnaces
and boilers. And, remember, your furnace room should never be
used for general storage. Wood scraps, old books, paint, solvents
and other flammable liquids are significant fire hazards and should
be removed and stored elsewhere.
Ice dams and old trees
A few precautions can help protect you from serious losses and
disruptions this season.
Snow and ice storms can create a number of potential threats to
your home. One of these is ice damming, which occurs in the days
after a snowstorm.
Indoor floods
Icicles hanging from your eaves, while they may be beautiful,
usually indicate that a dangerous ice dam has formed. An ice
dam is a build-up of ice that can form at the edge of your roof
when snow melts but is blocked from draining. When more snow
melts and is trapped behind this ice, the resulting water backup
can soak through your roof and cause damage to ceilings, walls
and more. The most common causes of ice dams are clogged
gutters and insufficient insulation, both of which are easy to
remedy.
While home fires make headlines, water damage is more common
and often just as severe. The most frequent cause is faulty or
broken pipes. In fact, Fireman’s Fund Personal Risk Consultants
see a surge in water damage during the first three months of the
year, when pipes are most likely to freeze and burst. Be sure to
insulate exposed pipes.
If you leave your home to spend time in warmer climates or even
just a weekend on the ski slopes, always leave the heat on in your
home and set it to at least 55 degrees. Don’t let high fuel prices
tempt you into going lower. The pipes that come in through your
foundation or run through external walls can reach temperatures
much lower than the setting on your thermostat. Have someone
check on your home while you are away.
A foolproof way to protect your home from broken or leaking
pipes at any time of year is to install an automatic water shutoff
system. Attached to your home’s main incoming water line, the
device senses increased water flow caused by a burst pipe and
automatically shuts the system off.
Please recycle. We do.
Mature trees on your property represent another potential
hazard during storms. Strong winds or frozen water that
covers old branches with a heavy coat of ice can lead to
failure and collapse, a clear threat to your home or other
nearby structures. Have a trusted horticultural expert take a
look at your property’s mature trees and prune or cut down
unstable specimens.

Out on the Town
By Claire O’Brien
R
esidents from several Carmel and Zionsville neighborhoods were
treated to a night “Out on the Town” on November 13th when
Rick and Laura Lyons opened their lovely, Southern-style home in the
Village of WestClay for Capture Media’s most recent event. Guests
enjoyed wine provided by Cork and Cracker, which supplied both red
and white varieties (several of the ladies were thrilled to learn that
Cork and Cracker would deliver wine to their home—a huge plus for
entertaining and busy lifestyles).
Attendees chatted and
socialized while Gail
Heeb, a professional
home economist, put
the finishing touches
on appetizers she had
prepared for the group.
Gail’s Basil Pesto Bread
and delicious Sausage
Stuffed Mushrooms were
a hit, and everyone was
glad to get a copy of the
recipes. While the guests enjoyed the food, Gail gave an overview of
some of the cooking classes she teaches, along with a few cooking tips.
One of those tips—Gail recommended using a sprig of rosemary as a
skewer for chicken (“it infuses the meat with that delicious flavor,” she
said)—was something all the attendees vowed to try at home. “I loved
her tips,” said Jennifer Alcantara, who lives in Springmill Ponds. “I
learned things about herbs and about cooking that I did not know. I
plan to implement them the next time I make an Italian meal.” Denise
Fiore, from the Preserve at Spring Knoll added, “I’m not a cook, but it
got me excited about cooking.”
Gail’s extensive background in teaching and
cooking includes a master’s degree in education,
as well as corporate positions with Jenn Air,
Dow and Marsh. She taught home economics
at Butler University, managed the test kitchen
for Jenn Air and served as the national home
economist for Dow for 13 years before becoming
a corporate home economist for Marsh. This
wealth of experience has served her well in her
current capacity as a culinary consultant and
teacher. Gail offers classes for groups on such
diverse topics as “Healthy Cooking for Busy
Moms” and “Outdoor Grilling.” Classes are taught at her home in
Zionsville and can be tailored to suit whatever the group is looking
for. “I’ve done French, I’ve done Italian, I’ve done Indian and tapas,”
she says. “I did a Cajun meal where we did a big shrimp boil out on
my deck. The guests come and learn how to prepare the food, they get
a chance to taste everything and tweak the recipe if it’s not seasoned
to their liking. Then they sit in the dining room and enjoy it. They go
home with a full menu and all the recipes, and if they want to do it
themselves they can,” she said.
After capping off the delicious fare with dessert, guests were given
a brief presentation by Rick and Laura Lyons about ShelfGenie, a
custom shelving solution featuring the Glide-Out Shelving System.
16
Say you saw it in… The Centennial Declaration
Cork & Cracker, ShelfGenie,
Gail Heeb: Culinary Professional
The Lyons, who were
so impressed by the
ShelfGenie
product
and the company that
they became franchise
owners
themselves,
demonstrated
how
the shelving system
had organized their
own kitchen cabinets.
“ShelfGenie offers a
solution that gives more
space, better access or better organization to a customer,” said Laura.
“It may be somebody who’s a little older and is having a hard time
getting to the bottom of their cabinet and needs better access, or
they just can’t reach what’s in the back of the cabinets. Or maybe
it’s somebody who’s limited on space and they can add shelves in
a pantry or existing cabinet to make their space more useful,” she
added. The shelving system is also great for organizing bathrooms and
for DVDs and other media. Rick showed the Capture Media guests his
system for organizing DVDs, CDs, etc., with the slide-out drawers.
The product itself is made of nine-ply plywood, which makes it very
strong, and it features a scratch-resistant and water-resistant coating.
The drawers pull completely out of the cabinet, meaning you have
access to everything you have.
“The ShelfGenie makes so much sense to get better use of your space,”
said Angee Grogan, from Williamson Run. “It’s very practical. It
makes sense not to physically climb into your cabinets to try to get
something out from the back—to actually pull something toward you
instead.”
“I would love for them to come organize my
Tupperware!” added Amy Updike, who lives
in Avian Glen. According to Laura, the product
offers a number of applications, from organizing
craft supplies in the home to jewelry cabinets
at a local retail store. The product can also
be installed in an existing piece of furniture.
ShelfGenie sends its designers to a customer’s
home to help determine what products will work
best for them. Certified professional installers
come and take exact measurements, then come
back out, usually in about 4 to 6 weeks and
install the product. It was particularly nice for attendees to be able
to see the product at work in the Lyons’ home. The conversation was
lively, the food was delicious and the guests thoroughly enjoyed the
evening. They took home a few recipes—and a few ideas on who to
call for better organization and fabulous cooking.
For more information on ShelfGenie, please contact Rick Lyons at
317-616-8440 or rlyons@ShelfGenie.com, or visit the ShelfGenie
website at www.shelfgenie.com. To schedule a cooking class with

Making A Difference
Dr. Chuck Sadler
By Claire O’Brien
Dr. Chuck Sadler is an orthodontist and a
triathlete, but mostly he is a friend.
Dr. Chuck attends New Hope Presbyterian
Church in Fishers with his good friend, Todd
Andritsch. In 2007 Todd’s son, Luke, was
diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia.
Todd discovered “Team in Training,” a sports
training program through the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society (LLS), and began training
to compete in a triathlon to raise money for
LLS. Dr. Chuck joined him; they competed in
their first triathlon in September of 2008. That
triathlon, called the Nation’s Triathlon, is an
Olympic-length triathlon held in Washington,
D.C; about a quarter of the participants take
on the challenge of swimming, cycling and
running to raise money for the LLS. Dr. Chuck
and Todd competed in the triathlon again this
year; between the two races they raised close
to $25,000 toward the fight against leukemia
and lymphoma.
Leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and
blood. It is the most common cancer in children.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society funds
blood cancer research and provides education
and patient services. Team in Training (TNT),
the world’s first and largest charity sports
training program, is one of the ways the LLS
helps raise money for its mission.
“They provide a team coach for you who helps
you train for the event,” says Dr. Chuck. “A
lot of the people who do Team in Training
and raise money for the Leukemia Society are
not professional athletes.” Team in Training
provides certified coaches, as well as clinics on
fitness, nutrition, gear and injury prevention.
Since the group was founded in 1988, they
have helped more than 390,000 participants,
from first-timers to seasoned athletes, train for
marathons, half marathons and triathlons. In
addition to training, TNT provides fundraising
support to the runners, walkers, cyclists, hikers
and triathletes who are competing to raise
money to fight blood cancers.
“Most of the people who do it either have a
loved one that has leukemia or they know
somebody who has leukemia,” says Dr. Chuck.
“Or they just find a passion in their heart.”
Dr. Chuck, whose orthodontic practice is in

of Newcastle, Indiana), had never competed
prior to his first Nation’s Triathlon; he says he
and Todd plan to compete in another triathlon
in 2010. “We may decide to do a half Iron
Man,” he adds.
In the meantime, Luke Andritsch is doing
well in his battle against leukemia, according
to Dr. Chuck. “He’s still in
treatment, but he’ll be done with
his regimen of chemotherapy
and radiation treatments in the
summer of 2010,” he says. “It
doesn’t mean he’ll be cancerfree, but he’ll be done with his
original treatment regimen.”
Luke was 4 years old when he
was diagnosed.
“The main reason I like to let
people know what we’re doing
is that I’d like to get people to
think, I could get involved in that,”
Dr. Chuck says. “Team in Training
gives you a goal—if you have this
goal of doing a triathlon, it forces
you to train. And the money you
raise goes to a great cause. I’d
like to educate people that there’s
something out there like Team in
Training, so that they can have a
bigger cause for their workouts
and their health,” he adds.

Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery and Fusion Spa
Business Of The Month
By Claire O’Brien
Dr. Catherine Winslow, who is double board certified in facial
plastic surgery, has had a successful practice in Carmel for five
years, offering patients cosmetic procedures such as rhinoplasty,
facelifts, browlifts, eyelifts and
other medical aesthetic services.
Recently Dr. Winslow opened the
expanded Winslow Facial Plastic
Surgery and Fusion Spa at 2000
E. 116th Street in Carmel.
What services do you offer at
the new location?
I have my facial plastic surgery
practice on the second floor of
the new building. It is a fully
accredited facility for procedures
in the office. I have my full
aesthetics menu, as well as a
Chinese acupuncturist and an
herbalist. On the first floor I offer other services that complement
what we do. We have a full-service hair salon, including extensions
and manicures and pedicures. We have a personal trainer who has
her own suite; she also does nutritional counseling, and takes
her clients to the grocery store to go through their grocery lists
and what they should be buying and eating. We have a cosmetic
dentist, as well as a chiropractor suite with massage therapy and
body rehabilitation.
Why did you decide to expand your practice?
I really started to notice that my clients wanted more services.
The goal was to make this a one-stop shop where people looking
to improve their lives in any capacity could come here and find
what they needed. I’m constantly looking to get my clients what
they want and need to look and feel better. It’s more than just the
exterior; we want people to be healthy, to be active and to feel
better about themselves both inside and outside. My whole goal
was to be able to facilitate that in one location rather than sending
people all over town.
In terms of décor, there is an Asian theme to the new building.
Was this driven by the idea of bridging traditional and modern
medicine?
I wanted to combine old school, well-proven remedies with the
newest technologies. I think that the theme and appearance of
the building reflect the older technologies. When you walk in we
have bamboo floors, but we also have more modern, faux paint
treatments on the walls. It’s all designed to be very calming and
nurturing. We want people to feel at home and comfortable.
facial plastic surgery at Walter Reed Hospital for four years; I had
cases from Bosnia and Iraq and Afghanistan. It was a very busy
time, but it was very rewarding—a really unique opportunity for
me.
In your practice here in Carmel, have you seen a change due to
the economic recession?
My practice has actually been very stable. There are people who
feel they can put off plastic surgery a little bit, but by the same
token there are a lot of people who now have to come back on
the job market. They realize they need to compete, and one of the
better ways to compete is to look and feel younger. If they look
in the mirror and they see their eyes are sagging and bagging and
they look tired, they know they are going to be projecting that in
the work force. They realize they would look and feel better about
themselves by getting that improved upon.
What special treatments do you offer? Do you have events or
promotions?
We tailor our treatments to whatever client base is interested in
them. We treat teenagers with acne. We also have a number of
male clients, although the men are sometimes a little more
particular about their privacy. We do packages, where we combine
acupuncture with pampering treatments. I believe we are the only
facility in Indianapolis that offers a spa jet. In terms of events, once
a year we host a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Foundation
(the 2009 event was held on December 6th). We also do an open
house once a month to allow people to walk through the facility
and see what we have to offer. We have chair massages and we’ll
do micropeels and skin treatments during these events, as well
as botox and fillers at discounted rates. I also do a 30-second
infomercial on Channel 13 that educates patients about what to
look for when they’re ready to think about facial plastic surgery.
Most of my practice, though, is word of mouth. We like to involve
our clients in our practice and make them feel like they are a part of
Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery. Our patients just love that.

Fusion Spa, visit www.IndyFace.com. To schedule services at the
new location, please call 317-814-1104.
You have an impressive background in facial plastic and
reconstructive surgery.
My training was originally in Otolaryngology, or head and neck
surgery. I did my residency at the University of Colorado. While
I was there the Columbine massacre occurred, and I took care of
a few of the kids who were shot during the massacre. I decided
to do a fellowship in Portland, OR, to further specialize myself
in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face. I was chief of

Local Family Chronicles War to Benefit
Veterans’ Children
Austin Oaks residents Tim and Tiffany Stoner are excited to announce the launch of FamilyPrint:
One Family’s Unique Reflection During War. The 250-page coffee-table book, co-authored by
the Stoners, details the experiences and communication of their family during Tim’s deployment
to Iraq in 2007 and 2008.
Tim, a major in the Indiana Army National Guard, served as the commander of Indiana’s first Black Hawk unit in Iraq. He was awarded
the Bronze Star during his deployment. At home in Austin Oaks, Tiffany focused on raising the couple’s four children, all under age 7.
Stemming from the blog established as the family’s primary means of communication, FamilyPrint tells the story of their daily lives. It
reflects how the Stoners worked to stay in touch, dispel fears, display love and articulate gratitude for those who supported them. It also
includes a stunning collection of images taken by Tiffany’s brother, photographer Nathan Rowe.
Governor Mitch Daniels said of FamilyPrint: “When a National Guardsman deploys, there are truly two people at war--the soldier who
goes to fight the enemy and the spouse who stays behind to face, in many ways, an equally difficult task. Tim and Tiffany Stoner’s new
book is a useful reminder of the debt we owe to both members of any National Guard family.”
Tim Stoner has returned to his consulting career as a director in the Indianapolis office with a global consulting firm. He remains as the
commander and a pilot of the MEDEVAC unit in the Indiana Army National Guard. Tiffany Stoner owns her own photography company,
Nathaniel Edmunds Photography, in addition to caring for her four children.
FamilyPrint is a nonprofit organization created to assist the families of veterans deployed overseas. All proceeds from the sale of the
book are targeted toward funding child care and home care for the families of deployed soldiers.

Achieve Your New Year’s Resolution And Get
Out Of Debt
N
ew Year’s resolutions for 2010: Lose weight, stop smoking,
start exercising, get out of debt. ...
Year in and year out, getting out of debt consistently ranks among
New Year’s top 10 resolutions. If your household is like many
American households struggling with the recession, or worse,
unemployment, getting out of debt will be close to the top of your
list again for 2010. Unfortunately, like other tough habits to break,
it can be difficult to get out of debt after developing spending
habits that have heavily relied on borrowing from credit cards and
home equity loans.
While some households can slowly work their way out of debt,
others that have been affected by a recent job loss may have no
choice. If you’re among the more than 70 percent of American
workers who are living paycheck to paycheck or must immediately
cut expenses due to sudden unemployment, here are seven tips
from FindLaw.com, one of the world’s leading online sources for
legal information, on how you can get your new year off to a great
start by reducing and eliminating your debt.
• Write down your goal. Give power and energy to your goal
to get out of debt by writing it down on a piece of paper and
taping it to your refrigerator. Be clear. Write down how much
you’re in debt, your goal date for being debt-free and your
determination to cut expenses and stop needless spending. In
addition, write down what you dream of achieving - buying
your own home, or paying for a child’s college education to give you and your family added purpose as to why it’s so
important to get out of debt now.
• Get help now. Some households need expert help to get out
of debt and create new spending and saving behaviors. Seek the
assistance of a debt management or credit counselor, available
through many social service agencies. Try visiting the United
Way at www.liveunited.org. If you are at risk of going into
foreclosure, call (888) 995-HOPE for a toll-free foreclosure
prevention hotline sponsored by NeighborWorks America and
the Homeownership Preservation Foundation. Beware of any
debt management companies that demand payment up front
for their services, which is a telltale sign of a scam.
• Call your creditors. Don’t wait for your creditors to call
you. Call them to negotiate a new payment plan that you can
realistically handle, including lower interest rates on your
credit cards. It’s not uncommon for many Americans who are
deeply in debt to be strapped with interest rates as high as 30
percent. Don’t be afraid to ask a creditor to settle a debt for a
lower amount than what you currently owe.
Please recycle. We do.
• Cut back to the essentials. Cut your expenses to the
essentials - food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Stop
eating out. Cut out the afternoon candy bar and soda pop and
start drinking more water. Stop buying lottery tickets. Start
taking the bus or the train to work or, better yet, start biking or
walking to and from work. Drop cable and your cell phone.
• Don’t skip these expenses. Depending upon the laws in your
state, there may be some expenses that you must incur, such
as auto and medical insurance, student loan payments, child
support payments, license fees and, of course, paying local
taxes as well as state and federal income taxes, according to
FindLaw.com. Skip any of these expenses and you may wind
up with much bigger legal headaches.
• Go automatic. Have your employer automatically deposit
your paycheck into your bank account. But don’t stop there.
Arrange for the most essential bill payments - mortgage,
electricity, heat and water - to be automatically withdrawn
from your checking account. If you have a mortgage, escrow
property taxes to ensure that they’re automatically paid.
• Make more money. At some point, you might realize that
you can’t cut any more expenses to make enough headway
on your goal of getting out of debt. You might need to make
more money by either taking on another job or selling some
of your household items. If you take on a second job, look
for an opportunity to work for a retailer that offers benefits
to part-time workers such as discounts on merchandise and
health care benefits. For more information about getting out of
debt and avoiding bankruptcy, visitwww.findlaw.com.

New Year’s Resolution:
Slim Down That Fat Cat Or Dog
T
o his owners, Moby, a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd, was a
very healthy, spry dog, so when his veterinarian told them that
beneath his thick, reddish-brown coat he had a weight problem,
they were a bit shocked.
to undertake successfully with cats. Diabetes treatments require
animals to eat on a consistent basis, and cats don’t often enjoy
following a schedule. Treating obesity before the animal becomes
diabetic is a far simpler solution, Dr. Corry says.
Apparently, all that baby food licked off the floor, and the lack of
activity that came with the two toddlers who had recently joined
the family, added about 10 extra pounds on a normally 65-pound
dog. The good news is the veterinarian was able to put Moby on
a program of diet and exercise, and he was back in perfect shape
within a year.
“If we can get pet owners to comply with weight-loss plans,
usually we don’t have any problem getting the animal’s weight
under control,”Corry says. “Weight-loss diets generally involve
specially formulated pet foods or simply a reduction of the
amount of food the animal receives.
Studies show that pet obesity is an epidemic in this country.
According to a 2005 study, approximately 35 percent of
American dogs and cats are obese or overweight, and some
veterinarians report that they see even
higher percentages now.
“I would say that probably more than 50
percent of the animals that we see are
overweight,” says Dr. Larry R. Corry,
a companion animal practitioner and
president of the American Veterinary
Medical Association (AVMA). “We say
that people are ‘killing their pets with
caring.’ They want to give too much food,
table scraps and too many treats. They
simply don’t realize how unhealthy that
can be.”
Obesity can cause a number of health
problems, including diabetes and heart
problems. Diabetes in animals can be
treated successfully with diet and insulin,
but treatments are expensive and difficult
“Every member of the family has to be in agreement, because if
one person is slipping the dog scraps under the table, the program
won’t work,” he continues.
For dogs and cats on a diet, one little treat
can truly be a diet buster. For example,
giving a cat one potato chip may not
seem like an extravagant snack, but it’s
equivalent to giving an adult human
half a cheeseburger or half a candy bar.
And giving your cat an ounce of milk
is equivalent to eating four and a half
cheeseburgers. Giving your pet pooch one
hot dog is equivalent to you eating two
cheeseburgers. Needless to say, giving
a pet table scraps is a sure ticket to pet
obesity.
The AVMA has partnered with Hill’s
Pet Nutrition Inc. to combat obesity by
sponsoring the Alliance for Healthier
Pets - Obesity Awareness and Prevention
Program. The initiative’s primary goal is
to educate the public on how to recognize
obesity and to suggest simple solutions.

of how common pet treats translate into
major calories. Watch as personal trainer
Gunnar Petersen teaches pet owners how to exercise with
their pets and then take the “Pet Fit” Challenge.

Sensitive Teeth: What Can Be Done?
By Raymond Gove, DDS Indy Dental Group
Is a taste of ice cream or a sip of hot coffee sometimes a painful
experience for you? If so, you may have a common problem called
“sensitive teeth.”
This problem often happens when gums recede and/or cementum is
not present. The gum tissue acts like a protective blanket to cover
the roots of the teeth. As the gums recede the underlying tooth roots
are exposed. They are not covered by hard enamel. Thousands of
tiny dentinal tubules (channels) leading to the tooth’s never center
(pulp) are then exposed. These tubules allow more stimuli such
as heat, cold or pressure to reach the nerve in the tooth, and you
feel pain!
Your dentist may suggest that you try a desensitizing toothpaste,
which contains compounds that help block transmission of sensation
from the tooth surface to the nerve. Desensitizing toothpaste usually
requires several applications before the sensitivity is reduced. If
receding gums cause the sensitivity, your dentist may use agents
that bond to the tooth root to “seal” the sensitive teeth. Ask your
dentist which option is right for you.

Foot & Ankle
10 Foot Care Tips for 2010
By David R. Sullivan, DPM, FACFAS, FACCWS
1. When shopping for shoes, choose quality and comfort over style (see
last month’s article).
2. Pay closer attention to your feet and toes. Scrub them clean just like
you do every other part of your body. If you can’t reach your toes, then
shop around for assistive devices or forget your pride and ask a loved one
to help you out.
3. Moisturize everywhere but the webspace between the toes. Too much
moisture there increases your chances of getting Athlete’s Foot.
4. Ladies, watch the heel height. Try your best to keep it under 1_”. Going
from higher heels to being barefoot in the house increases stress on your
Achilles Tendon and can develop into other issues.
5. NO FLIMSY FLIP FLOPS!!!
6. Avoid “medicated” corn pads. This medication is acid which is not
healthy for the skin around the callus or corn.
7. Use the PedEgg for callused heels…not once a month, but daily or
every other day. Make it part of your routine.
8. If you have a New Year’s Resolution to lose weight, then ease into it.
Don’t jump on the treadmill and see how far you can go on day 1. You
need to adequately stretch and increase mileage slowly. If you don’t, then
you are really increasing your risk of developing a painful condition that
will halt your workout routine and stall your weight loss efforts.

Power Up Your
Cleaning Routine
When Seconds Count
A
t one time or another, everyone has found herself racing around
the house with an armful of cleaning supplies, scrambling to
tidy up for unexpected guests. But the prospect of surprise visitors
need not cause a full-scale panic.
Cleaning and organizing expert Donna Smallin offers practical tips for
completing a vigorous, efficient cleaning routine when every minute
matters.
• First things first. To make a great first impression, start with the
entryway and then follow the path your guests will take. Think
entryway, living area and bathroom. This is no time to reorganize
your sock drawer. If you can, close doors or pronounce the
upstairs or other section of the house off limits to guests, and
you’ve cut your cleaning job in half.
• Conquer clutter. An uncluttered entryway is warm and inviting.
Do a quick lap around your entryway and living area with a
laundry basket and/or trash can, tossing junk mail and collecting
out-of-place items to be organized later.
• Speed-dust at eye level. Microfiber picks up dirt like nobody’s
business. Grab a microfiber cleaner for a quick “dust-busting” of
your bookshelves, lamp shades and coffee tables.
• Vacuum just the high-traffic areas. When you want to impress
guests, nothing freshens up a room like clean carpet and rugs,
and an ergonomically designed vacuum can make spontaneous
carpet cleaning easier.
• Speed clean mirrors. In the bath room, lightly wet a microfiber
cloth and squeeze it dry to clean mirrors and glass surfaces.
• Give furniture a facelift. Take just two minutes to fluff sofa
cushions and pillows to breathe a little freshness into your
living room.
• Make countertops sparkle. Spritz kitchen and bathroom
counters with a freshly scented all-purpose cleaner and quickly
wipe away spots, crumbs and everyday grime.
• Rally the troops. When time is of the essence, divide and
conquer. While one family member is vacuuming, a younger
one can follow behind, wiping down baseboards. Or while one
is taking out the garbage, the other can load the dishwasher.
One way to motivate family members for these situations is to
instigate a regular power cleaning competition. Make a game of
timing how long it takes to tackle key cleaning chores, and you’ll
have your own family SWAT team ready to go when guests are
on their way.
• Prepare for future speed-cleaning sprees. Speed cleaning is
even easier when you’re prepared, so get your supplies in order
now. Keep a caddy of cleaning products ready to go, and you can
save precious seconds when guests are en route. You may even
want to stash cleaning supplies in spaces around your home so
you can tidy up on the fly. Small cleaning supplies can easily be
hidden behind the TV, behind books on bookshelves, in drawers,
or even under your sofa.
Master this fast and furious cleaning routine and you’ll always be
ready to take on last-minute houseguests. You may even have time to
give yourself a manicure before they arrive.
