Mission trips can be life-changing. That’s
why staff at Indianapolis Dentistry in Perry
Township has had a desire to take a trip to El
Salvador and offer free dental care and training
this coming January.
“(The staff is) already very compassionate,
but you can’t go to a third world country and
not come back humbled,” said Dr. Ted Reese.
“We can offer superior care... The biggest impact is on us that we are going rather than the
care they’re receiving. The Salvadorian culture
is very gracious.”
Dr. Reese has made trips to El Salvador in
the past, although it’s been eight years since the
last trip. He says the staff, none of which had
been before, had asked him about the possibility of him returning. He has been working with
a family in the South American country to plan
the trip.
“I think it’s a great opportunity to get out
into another country, see how they live and
deal with everyday life,” said Brittany Ford, dental assistant. “I’m interested in working with
them and not working with all the things we
have here: suction, water. I think it’s just going
to be very rewarding, figuring out things we’re
blessed with here that they don’t have and making it work.”
Dr. Reese said they will focus on a women’s
group to help and providing dental care rather
than urgent care. He will host a lecturing and
teaching day and a half to “help them raise their
standards of care.”
“Since the majority of us are going, we can
make a big impact by teaching them the skills
that we know,” said Melissa Callahan, dental
assistant. “I’m really excited for the children
aspect, taking care of them and helping them
while I can.”

The trip costs approximately $1,100 per person plus supplies. What funds the office cannot raise, each employee will supplement out
of their own money. Indianapolis Dentistry will
have a Dental Day, a day of reduced cost dental
care, on Oct. 3 at the office, 7218 US 31 S. They
will offer flat rates for dental work, such as $50
for cleanings and $35 for sealants. Indianapolis
Dentistry is also collecting flip-flops and used
eyeglasses for the trip.
“The most expensive part of the trip is materials,” said Lucy Hill, office manager. “We can
only take two bags along. We’re trying to keep
what we take personally down to nothing so we
can fill the bag with stuff; flip flops, eyeglasses,
dental supplies.”

HUMOR
What’s in an
area code?
Indianapolis and its suburbs can expect to
see some changes in the coming years regarding our iconic 317 area code. The Numbering
Resource Utilization/Forecast Report (NRUF
Report) indicated in April of this year that the
317 area code will run out of numbers by the
middle of 2017.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) has since been asked to add a
new area code to the current 317 area in an
effort to reach a long-term solution.
So what does this mean for local citizens
and businesses? Are we going to have to
change our business cards and go through all
our contacts on our phones? If an overlay is
approved, chances are that it won’t change a
thing for current 317 numbers.
"What are your thoughts,
Southsiders? Share them with
us at [email protected]!"
According to the IURC – and this is from
their website – an overlay approval would
bring the following changes throughout 2015:
• All existing 317 numbers would remain
unchanged.
• All customers would dial ten digits for local calls (area code + number), though local
calling areas would not change. Calls that are
currently local would remain local.
• Businesses, not-for-profit organizations,
government agencies and other customers
would not need to incur costs for reprinting
signage, stationery, advertising, or business
cards because of the area code change.
There will also be public field hearings, for
citizens to make comments or ask questions,
held at the following locations around the
Indy metro area, including: Indianapolis - Friday, Sept. 26, 10 a.m.: Room 222, PNC Center, 101 W. Washington St.; Franklin - Tuesday, Oct. 14, 6 p.m.: Student Center Branigin
Room, Franklin College, 101 Branigin Blvd.
We’re sad to see 317 exhausted, but we’re
equally curious to know how exactly this new
area code will be implemented, and where.
What are your thoughts, Southsiders? Share
them with us at [email protected]!

You can’t make up this stuff
Last week, we read with interest about how
a federal judge ordered the state of Alaska to
increase outreach to Native American voters with limited English proficiency - because, you know … democracy, right? This,
of course, led us to ask: Limited English proficiency? Doesn’t that pretty much sum up
what is lacking amongst the majority of the
United States’ population? The days of “grammar school” have gone the way of the running
board, we’re afraid, and it shows so horribly
in everyday conversation, writing, speech and
media. Have you noticed the billboards on
I-70 between Indy and the Ohio line touting
“Busses welcome”? Excuse us as we go watch
everyone queue up for kisses from the French.
Then comes the recent 60 Minutes report
about how scammers have made small fortunes by taking advantage of the joke that is
the Internal Revenue Service. It seems the
opportunists – and we’re talking about the
scammers here, not the IRS – sent in fraudulent tax returns with anticipated refunds in
the low four figures. Well, they received the
checks, because there was no checks-and-balances protocol to prevent it from happening.
None of this probably would be the case had
former IRS chief Lois Lerner’s hard drive not
been wiped clean. What’s that, you say? You
forgot all about the IRS scandal involving Lerner? We’re sorry to learn that, because that’s
exactly what the IRS was hoping would happen.
………………
We’re extremely happy for our sister company, Current Publishing, and its latest plans
for expansion, this time into the Geist market.
With an anticipated launch in the first quarter of 2015, they’re fast at work finalizing the
staffing and more pin-pointedly familiarizing
themselves with the area. The product will be
delivered by U.S. Mail every Tuesday to 11,306
high-income, high-education households that
“hug the lake” (and beyond). The move into
the northeastern market comes at the behest
of advertisers large and small. The launch will
bring to 119,439 the number of households

10. Frivolous lawsuits. One too many people
walked into the barbed wire display while
texting.
9. Changing economic climate. The store's
employees and wholesalers kept insisting
they be paid which meant the store had to
insist customers pay for stuff... the whole
system bogged down then.
8. Rough neighborhood. Even the
handicapped folks were stealing the metal
"Handicap Parking Only" signs and taking
them to the scrapyards.
7. Poor management decisions. Overstocked
with Backstreet Boys products hoping the
comeback tour would rocket everyone back
to the top.
6. Changing neighborhood. Management
just never got over the loss of the Key West
Shrimp House. The loss of a good lobster
chowder finally proved too much.
5. Political correctness. The name is just
two "K's" away from being real bad for the
neighborhood.
4. Traffic patterns. Commuters spend so much
time dodging potholes and lumpy pavement
they pass right by.
3. Tough competition. With so many stores
selling low-priced name brand products that
were past their expiration date their fresh noname stuff got left behind.
2. Tough economy. A lot of us Southsiders
will be shopping for Christmas from the
McDonald's Happy Meal toy selection.
1. Changing clientele. Nowadays whenever
they have a Blue Light Special half the
customers either run out the back or stop and
put their hands on top of their heads.

Wounded Warrior tournament
benefits amputee softball team
FEATURE
By Marais Jacon-Duffy
Krystal Earl sits on a picnic blanket near a
chain link fence following the first base line.
The Indianapolis Sports Park on Harding Rd. is
busy on a Saturday morning in September, but
she scored a prime seat.
She and her three young children travelled
from Kalamazoo, Mich., to watch her husband
play in a weekend softball tournament.
He’s up to bat, and Earl tells her daughter,
“Yell, ‘Come on, Daddy!’”
Kyle Earl smacks a line drive between the
second and first basemen. When he eventually
returns to the bench, he doesn’t stay for long.
Earl is the team’s pinch-runner, a player who
replaces a player on base, because he has something that his other teammates don’t: legs.
Earl plays for The Wounded Warriors Amputee Softball Team, a team comprised of Iraq
and Afghanistan combat veterans and active
duty service members from all over the United States. The organization, a 501(c)(3) charity,
aims to “raise awareness, educate and inspire
the public about the strength and resiliency of
our wounded warriors, showing how a positive
attitude, commitment, dedication and perseverance allow them to overcome any obstacles,”
according to their website.
The team plays in exhibition, celebrity and
competitive games and tournaments across
the U.S. They will return to Indianapolis Sports
Park annually for a Wounded Warrior tour-

day morning. The park was packed with local
teams, some with matching uniforms, some
all-male, some all-female, and some co-ed.
The Wounded Warriors easily stood out in
their sharp dry-fit camouflage uniforms. Earl
donned the number 17 and played center field
on Saturday. Earl, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, lost his right hand in 2006 in Iraq when
his Humvee hit an IED. He has played with the
team for three years and travelled all over the
country.
“The team has really helped him a lot,” his
wife said. “It’s a sense of therapy for him I think.”
Earl stole bases and smacked drives deep
into the outfield for the entirety of the
game. Midway through, he came over
to see him wife, two daughters and son.
When complimented on his hitting,
he joked, “No, I know my job is running.”
The team’s slogan is “Life without a
limb is limitless.” Their website shares a
vision, saying that “our dream would be
the return of our soldiers from harm’s
way without the resulting loss of life and
limb… until such a time, our vision is to
support and honor our soldiers and veterans sacrifices, and to show other amputees and everyone who sees or hears
about us that life without a limb is limitless.”

Southport and Southside residents began

19. The Student Booster Club presented the
annual Homecoming Red and White Parade,
followed by the Cardinal’s game versus Bloomington South at Perry Township Stadium.
The grand marshal this year was an Indianalocal celebrity, Rupert Boneham. After 20 years
employed in the mental health field, Boneham
found success on the TV reality game show
Survivor, having been on four separate times.
Boneham went on to give back to his community as a youth mentor and advocate. In 2012,
he campaigned for governor of Indiana. In
2004, Boneham founded Rupert’s Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to mentoring and
training youth ex-offenders. Learn more about

Rupert said. “To be a 50 year old man and to be

kids, 20-somethings, it’s not a bad world.”

TRIATHLON TRIUMPH
Perry Township’s Todd Shellenberger achieves his dream
of qualifying for Ironman World Championship.
COVER STORY
By Nicole Davis
Ever since Todd Shellenberger began competing in triathlons 20 years ago, he would
watch the Ironman World Championships
in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii with his family and
dream about going. The last three years, his
finishing times have continued to drop. This
year, he finally qualified for the 2014 championships to take place on Oct. 11.
“I feel like I’m one of those people saying
dreams really can come true,” Shellenberger
said. “This was literally just a dream I never
thought was going to happen. My best time
before three years ago was 11 hours and 11
minutes – at least an hour off from getting in
and an hour is a long time. I just went out and
did as good as I can do at something and now
I have to do it an hour faster? To cut that kind
of time off, I’ve been really fortunate.”
Shellenberger, a Perry Township resident,
began running during college, beginning with
short-distance sprint races. He competed
in his first Ironman distance triathlon in the
mid-90s. Shellenberger, who spent approximately 20 years working as an accountant, decided to change careers and work in the industry he was most passionate about. He has
worked as a personal trainer and triathlon
coach for five years at the Baxter YMCA.
“For me, the most enjoyable thing is seeing
people get into this sport and having fun at
it,” Shellenberger said. “The rewards are great.
People feel good about themselves. These
sports help to build self-esteem. Seeing people
cross the finish line and doing something they
thought they couldn’t do, it’s amazing. It’s not
for everybody. People enjoy different things.
But if people decided this was something they
wanted to do and wanted to work at it, they
can do it and it might not take 20 years like it
took me. It’s just fun when you get to finally
live your dream... Once people start, usually
you fall into one of two groups. You do your
first one and you love it and you’re hooked
forever or you do your first one and you think
okay, I’ve got that off my bucket list.”
He has run nine Ironman triathlons, a 2.4mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2 mile
race. Shellenberger said he noticed from observation over the years that the athletes that
made it into the championships always finished the race in fewer
than 10 hours. At this year’s qualifying Ironman triathlon in Louisville, he finished in nine hours
and 43 minutes, finally reaching his goal of qualifying for the
world championships.
“It’s not really glorious or any
real secret,” Shellenberger said. “It’s that consistent effort. In any profession or anything
you really enjoy, the more time you put into
it, the better you get at it, generally speaking.
The other thing and probably my hardest job
as the coach is getting people to not do too
much. Injuries and all that stuff happen when
you’re tired and do too much.”
Knowing he was getting close to qualifying,
Shellenberger said he made a training plan in
December for a triathlon team at the YMCA.
The team started training seriously on Jan. 1.
Every Saturday they’d be in the gym, spending
two hours on the bikes and then running outside, in the cold. He said a large time commitment and consistency are the keys to building
up the endurance.
“It’s been a really good group effort, with
all the support,” Shellenberger said. “There
were nine of us from the Baxter Y that went
to Louisville. For about seven of them, it was
their first Ironman. They all finished. If you
ask at least five of those seven if they
ever thought they’d do an Ironman,
they’d say no. It was very rewarding that not only I did very well
but the team did really well. We
had a good time. It was a fun
process with a lot of dedication
but a really nice play-out in the
end.”
Preparing for the Ironman has taken a lot
of time, and Shellenberger said he couldn’t
have done it without his family’s support, particularly his wife, Jamie, who helps him with
the strategic planning behind getting to the
events. He said his two children, Erika, 15, and
Drew, 12, have come to many of the races and
do a lot of running, too. His family and a few
of the Baxter YMCA triathletes will go to Hawaii together. He said the trip was perfect timing and is made even more special because he
and Jamie recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in August.
“The hardest thing is going to be staying
focused and not getting caught up in all the
lights, that it’s the world championship,” Shellenberger said. “It’s focusing, doing your job,
doing what got you there. If I have a bad race,
I’m still in Hawaii so it’s not terrible.”
Shellenberger said he knows he’s going to
be racing with the top couple percent of athletes that do triathlons. He is one of 1,800
people that will compete in Hawaii. He said he
looks forward to enjoying the experience, and
most importantly, not getting too focused and
stressed about the competition so that he will
enjoy the vacation afterwards.
“This year I wasn’t thinking past Louisville,”
Shellenberger said. “Now I’m focusing on Hawaii. Once that passes, and we come back
from Hawaii, then I’ll think about more. It
won’t be hard to find another goal. It’s just that
kind of activity. There’s always something else
to do and to get better. Even when you have
a great race and you finish you think, well, I
could have done this better. You have to be
able to enjoy the outcome the way things are.
You always focus on the next race.”

Barrier-Free Showers
Barrier-free showers are low-curb showers
that make it easier for people with reduced
mobility to get in and out of the shower safely
and with minimal effort.
Barrier-free showers have a gentle threshold and offer a manageable transition from
the bathroom floor to the shower floor. Obviously, given the name, this type of shower
is ideally suited for users in a wheelchair who
need to be able to effortlessly enter and exit
the shower area.
Barrier-free showers are designed for acces-
sibility, allowing comfortable and safe use
for you and your family.
Enjoy bathing independently in your barrierfree shower where you
can unwind, re-energize
and revitalize.
When planning bathrooms for disabled or elderly family members it
can be a challenge to address all of their needs.
Let Access Mobility design and install a barrier-free shower for the aging or elderly person
in your family.
Barrier-free showers
are available in stylish
multi-piece models, engineered for remodeling existing bathrooms.
They are also available in bathtub replacement models, featuring a left or right hand
drain location in 60" or
54" lengths to fit where
your existing tub is today. Most models have
a pre-leveled, reinforced shower base,
saving installation time and eliminating future problems.
These accessible fiberglass showers offer
a slip resistant textured floor and full wood
backing to accommodate easy installation
of accessories, including grab bars, and
folding shower seats making your shower
safer for independent and assisted bathing.
As homeowners plan for the future, let Access Mobility show the way to a more safe
and independent bathing experience.

Chair yoga benefits Southside seniors as
they exercise without leaving their seats
FOCUS
By Nicole Davis
Seniors from across the Southside have participated in National Yoga Month this September. Although, when many people first hear
the word yoga, they don’t know what to expect
from it, said Jessie Friskney, who instructs a
chair yoga class for American Senior Communities, including Rosegate Assisted Living, 7510
Rosegate Dr. on the Southside of Indianapolis.
The exercise which encourages stretching and
relaxation is something than can be varied to
fit anyone’s health needs.
“It keeps them active and moving,” said
Friskney, who also teaches yoga at City Yoga
in downtown Indianapolis, 2242 Central Ave.
“Sometimes the older we get the more sedentary we become. It helps us with posture. A lot
of the posture issues you see in seniors can be
overcome. Balance, it’s important to continue
to work in balance. Relaxation, too. So much
of yoga is clearing your mind, focusing on the
practice. They feel very calm at the end.”
Friskney said since she’s taught the chair
yoga classes, she’s seen improvement in the senior participants. Sometimes the participants
can’t do things like bending to touch their toes.
As time goes on, they eventually can. Yoga isn’t
about doing everything perfectly; it’s about doing the movements to the best of the person’s
abilities and improving over time.
“I want to take as many exercise classes as I
can,” said Imogene Moore, yoga participant at
Rosegate. “It keeps me going. I’m in this wheelchair all the time. (Chair yoga) is easy to do. I
can’t do all of it the way it should be done, but I
do everything I can.”
Benefits of yoga can range from mental clarity and focus to better digestion. Friskney said
she will often offer some aromatherapy in her
classes, too.
“I enjoy the exercise part, the movement,”
said Gwen Hamilton, yoga participant at Rosegate. “We’ve learned to relax. We would encourage others to come. It’s wonderful relaxation.”

Our nation’s departed the road of national
righteousness onto the uncharted dirt road of
nutritionally bankrupt, fake food passed off as,
and I must snicker here, "natural." By their definition, cat poop would qualify as "natural," so
don’t be fooled by semantics. Again, Big Food
thinks you’re not paying attention, much to
the glee of pharma and the medical fraternity.
However, more awakened Americans are realizing the perverted Western diet is toxic to holy
temple chemistry, but stimulates obscene profits.

Mary Bryan Chapter of DAR treated
to folk music at monthly meeting
The Mary Bryan Chapter of DAR was
entertained by The–Forget-Me-Nots at its
monthly meeting. The meeting was held at
the Bethel Community Church of Southport
on Sept. 8. The members were treated to an
evening of folk music which included vocal
and instrumental music. The instrumentals
were done with dulcimers. The instruments are
some that were brought over by our ancestors.
There were five dulcimers, one harmonica and
one person playing spoons. Four of The-ForgetMe-Nots were members of Daughters of the
American Revolution: Marti McCoun, Donna
Kinninger and Barbara Grisgby. Bob Robson
gave a talk on dulcimers and how they are
made and how easily they are to play. Anyone

New website promotes development
opportunities in Johnson County
A new website is promoting Johnson County's available locations for companies needing to expand or
relocate and touting the community's business advantages and quality of life. Johnson County Development
Corporation officials say the new website, jcdc.org, will help attract new companies and encourage existing
ones to expand. "We know these companies are doing their research first and foremost on the Internet. This
new website puts Johnson County on their radar," said Cheryl Morphew, president and CEO of the Johnson
County Development Corporation. Morphew said JCDC committed to a more aggressive marketing plan
earlier in the year. Having a robust website that provides critical data and information needed by company
search firms and brokers was atop their list. The website was designed and created by Spinweb, a digital
marketing company in Indianapolis. J Owen Media of Franklin collaborated on the project, which was
sponsored by Community Hospital South and Runnebohm Construction.

A simple twist on
after-school snacks
RECIPE
We all know it’s important to start the day
off with a healthy breakfast. As a parent, you
also have lunch covered for your hungry student, whether it’s packed in a brown bag or
eaten in the cafeteria. But after a busy day of
learning, young tummies often need a wholesome after-school snack to tide them over until dinner.
Keeping a stash of kid-friendly snacks
handy is a sure-fire way to keep snack time
manageable, while making sure kids don’t
have a full afternoon meal, which would spoil
their appetite for
dinner.
Instead of potato chips or cookies, try crunchy
veggies
paired
with a flavorful
dip. As an added
(and educational) bonus, invite
kids to help make
snacks ahead of
time,
assigning
them age-appropriate tasks like measuring and mixing. This
introduces them to family meal prep and
helps teach them about healthy eating habits
at an early age.
Kick off your new after-school snack routine with a recipe like this one for Ranch Pimento Cheese Celery Logs, created by country music star and busy mom of seven, Sara
Evans, on behalf of Hidden Valley. For a little
kick, Evans suggests substituting with Hidden
Valley® Spicy Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix. If your kids resist celery or you want
a little variety, this spread also makes great
finger sandwiches when layered between two
slices of sandwich bread and cut into small
triangles.
For more kid-friendly after-school snack
ideas, visit HiddenValley.com.
Ranch Pimento Cheese
Celery Logs
Makes: 30 filled celery logs
Prep Time: 15-20 minutes
• 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Salad Dressing &

•1 (4-ounce)

•30 (2-inch) celery logs, cut from

Place cheese, mayonnaise, seasoning mix
and pimentos in bowl of food processor.
Pulse a few times until well combined but still
chunky, taking care not to over mix. Alternatively, you can mix by hand, but it won’t be
quite as spreadable.
Divide cheese mixture among celery logs
(about 2 teaspoons per log), mounding it into

Rebels hit the field
On Sept. 19, the Rebel football team
hosted hundreds of football players
and cheerleaders from across the south
deanery as part of Roncalli’s annual CYO
Night at Roncalli Stadium. Cheerleaders
were encouraged to give their best Rebel
yell, football players, from grades three to
eight, were introduced during the halftime
ceremony and young band members were
encouraged to play along with the band. The
CYO program is instrumental in developing
quality athletes with a special emphasis on
spirituality and being mindful of Christian
values that foster personal development on
and off the field. Many of Roncalli’s best and
brightest student athletes got their start as
a CYO player. Rebels defeated Scecina 41-7.

Gratitude Group
creates cards for the community
Mrs. Jo Woodcox, an Isom volunteer, is actively working
with teacher, Mrs. Santos, and 4th grade students to create
cards for the community. These cards will be sent to people
and organizations that have generously donated supplies and
time to our school. This group meets each Thursday for five
weeks. Thanks to Mrs. Woodcox for supplying all materials
needed for this project. What an act of - Kindness!
Paying It Forward at Isom Elementary
Mrs. Santos, teacher, has organized the Pay It Forward
Kindness program. The purpose is to demonstrate the
power and importance of human kindness by promoting
the practice of kind acts, large and small, ultimately developing caring, productive citizens. Through both planned
and random acts of kindness, participants are engaged in
making a significant effort toward the betterment of the
world. The Pay It Forward program works like this: Step
1: An act of kindness is performed. Step 2: The act is recorded on a kindness strip. Step 3: The beneficiary of the
kindness is asked to pay the kindness forward by doing
two acts of kindness for two other people. Each kindness
completed by the school learning community (recorded
on the kindness strips) will become a link in the kindness
chain. We are all working together toward the goal of 1

ADMINISTRATOR OF
THE YEAR FOR
PERRY TOWNSHIP
SCHOOLS
Mr. Robert Bohannon
is the Administrator of
the Year for Perry
Township Schools.
After graduating from
Manual High School,
Mr. Bohannon attended
Indiana Central University. There he received
Robert
his Bachelor’s degree
Bohannon
in 1983 with a major in
physical education and a minor in health. In
2004, he completed his master’s degree in
Education Leadership at Indiana University.
He has 32 years of experience in education.
Mr. Bohannon with student leaders from Southport High School
“Kindness is our Strength”
Why
did you choose
education?
I began my college career as an accounting
major. However, the direction of my career
path changed after I worked at a summer
athletic camp. Since then, teaching and working with young people became my passion.
What do you mean by, “Kindness is our
Strength”? As a leader, I believe that creating a kind culture promotes the best teaching
and learning environment.
Many times
kiddos believe kindness is a weakness and the
weak are taken advantage of. By modeling
kindness and caring, adults show our students
that kindness is indeed a strength.
What is a rewarding part of your work?
One of the more rewarding parts of my work
is the opportunity to lead professional development for our secondary administrators. We
discuss multiple topics and develop strategies
for school improvement plans and long range
goals.
I also attend weekly Instructional Leadership
Team (ILT) meetings where school leadership teams meet to discuss and plan ways to
support teachers in their efforts to raise student achievement.
What are your current responsibilities as
Assistant Superintendent? My responsibilities include monitoring graduation rates, college bound students, Central 9 Career Center
students, retention rates, AP/Dual Credit
courses, textbook adoption, TAP teacher
evaluations and more. My goal is to develop,
and maintain the best possible educational
programs and experiences for all students in
Perry Township Schools.
What is a point of pride? If I just have to
pick one, I’m extremely proud of our high
schools for again being recognized “AP Honor Roll” schools. With the help of a grant
from the National Math and Science Institute,
we have increased the number of AP courses
offered in the district, increased the number of
students taking AP (Advanced Placement)
courses and increased the number of scores of
3-5 on the AP exams. Our teachers receive
exceptional training and support from NMSI.
This has helped greatly increase the academic
standards and rigor of our high school curriculum.
How often do you get to interact with students and teachers? The best part of my job
is getting out and seeing our kiddos in action.
I attend multiple school events every week
outside the school day—athletics, music, arts
and academic programs. I also visit the
schools and classrooms to see firsthand the
high quality instructional practices of our
amazing teachers.
Do you have a favorite quote? John Maxwell said it best, “People don’t care how much
you know, until they know how much you
care.”

In July of 1983, Mr. Bohannon was welcomed into the Perry Township School family, teaching physical education at Meridian
Middle School. In addition, he has coached
baseball, football, and golf in our schools.
From 1989-2005, he served as Boy’s Advisor at Keystone Middle School. In 2007,
Mr. Bohannon became principal of Southport Middle School and was in that position
until 2011 when he changed roles in the
district to Assistant Superintendent for Career Preparation.
Mr. Bohannon supports all aspects of the
secondary (grades 6-12) education program.
He provides leadership for curriculum and
instruction to staff to meet the strategic
goals of the district.
“Mr. Bohannon never loses sight of students
and their needs. He is earnest, resourceful,
dynamic and honest. Students are his priority!” shared Dr. Tom Little, Superintendent.
Mr. Bohannon is married to his lovely wifeNatalie, and has three children: Sarah, Austin and Phillip.
Outside of school, he enjoys traveling, playing golf and “bleeds orange” for the University of Tennessee Volunteers!

Roncalli High School students, faculty, parents, alumni and Rebel supporters.
Roncalli and Franklin Central compete
in annual Chick-fil-A challenge
Roncalli High School squared off against Franklin Central once again for the annual Chick-fil-A Challenge,
which ran from Aug. 23 through Aug. 29 at the Chick-fil-A, 5240 E. Southport Rd. (across from Meijer).
Students, faculty, parents, alumni and other Rebel supporters came to support the effort. While both
schools received a large portion of the revenue generated by the event, Roncalli brought in the most money
with nearly $4,400 and walked away with the 2014 Chick-fil-A traveling trophy, which was awarded during
halftime at the Franklin Central vs. Roncalli football game on Friday evening. The Rebels went on to win the
game with a 16-6 victory.
Lutheran High School’s Dave Pasch
named Colts Coach of the Week
Dave Pasch of Lutheran High School has been named the Colts/
NFL Coach of the Week, a program presented by Anthem Blue Cross
and Blue Shield. According to the Colts website, “Pasch was selected
after his Saints defeated defending Class 2A state champion Cardinal
Ritter Raiders. Coach Pasch had his team primed for a dominant
performance, which included five interceptions, four sacks and 370
yards rushing, leading to the impressive 42-6 outcome.” Coach Pasch
took over the Saints’ program in 2008 and has guided the team to a
37-29 record in his previous six seasons at the school. Prior to that, he
coached North Putnam to a 65-57 record in 11 seasons.
From left, Dave Pasch and Mike Prior, Youth Football Commissioner for the Indianapolis Colts, who made a visit
to Lutheran to recognize Coach Pasch and to challenge members of the football team to excel in the classroom
as well as on the field.
Fidelity: Covenant relationships need a revival
DEVOTIONAL
By Pastor Paul A. Kirby
"If mine heart have been deceived by a woman,
or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
Then let my wife grind unto another, and let
others bow down upon her. For this is a heinous
crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by
the judges." ~ Job 31:9-11
Fidelity: A word that does not get the consideration today that it should. More than 48
years ago I made a promise. That promise is
still binding upon my heart and soul and very
life today. I promised to be the husband to my
wife and to be her husband alone. I have kept
that promise and I am glad that I have.
Today covenant relationships are nearly
whimsical. People enter into covenants such
as marriage with the idea that if for some reason they grow uncomfortable with the relationship or it becomes too overbearing for
them, they can simply walk away from it as
though the promises were never made in the
first place.
I was pretty idealistic when I first entered
into ministry. I thought that if I was stern
enough with couples who came to be married
by me that they would not marry if they were
not truly in love and did not intend to remain
together until death did them part. I have
turned some couples away but not as many as
I should. Recently, I have turned more away
than I have agreed to marry. Why? Because
in my opinion, they do not take marriage seriously nor the fact that the covenant that is
made in marriage is not only between them
but made in the presence of God and they
don't take Him seriously.
The Bible tells us that it is better not to
make a vow than to make one and not keep
it. Job is saying to us that he made covenant
with God and man and his wife to be faithful
to her and though he had many opportunities
to break that covenant, he never did. He loved
the wife of his youth and now, even though
they had aged and the wrinkles had set in and
the bones began to creak when they walked
together; he still loved her and would be faith-
ful to her.
Today, without the vow of fidelity, many
couples just move in together. The Bible calls
this cohabitation and it brings one into an immoral and illegal in the eyes of God and His
church relationship. If one loves another truly,
they will do what is best for the other always,
even if it means putting their passions aside
until a time when it is right to express them.
The entertainment industry has so glorified
immorality and infidelity that the world has
come to accept it as normal. It is not now nor
will it ever be right to live contrary to the standards that the Bible sets for us.
God bless and go and have a great day.
Paul A. Kirby is the pastor at the Church of God at 3939 S.
