The theme of Las Vegas brought back some good memories of her wedding in the Nevada city and fun times spent there. Now having worked for the Greenwood restaurant for seven years, Olthoff said she enjoys working for the small business so much, that she wants to help grow it. “It is a fun, unique local restaurant,” Olthoff said. “The owners are great. They really take care of us. We have so much variety at so many price points. We make almost everything inhouse. It’s fresh. That sets us apart.” Just short of being able to gamble, Olthoff said the restaurant does reflect her memories of Vegas, and she hopes to incorporate that with more community events, such as teaching people how to play the card games –people who hesitate playing at casinos can feel comfortable learning in an environment where no money is on the line. On Feb. 6, the restaurant will host a Ladies Night, a shopping event in connection with Valentine’s Day. Martinis which normally cost $10, will be on special for $5. Vendors will set up, including Avon, Healing Hands Massage, Tastefully Simple, Scentsy, Pure Romance, Rendi and Damsel in Defense. As the general manager for a year, Olthoff said that she will continue to look for ways to promote the restaurant, and says exciting things are coming soon to Vegas.

How do you celebrate the lunar new year here in The United States? "My favorite memory of Chinese New Year is when I was at Sugar Grove Elementary School. Each year, my mother would come in and help my class throw a Chinese New Year party. We would celebrate by eating Chinese food such as dumplings and steamed rice, making crafts like paper firecrackers, and then do the Lion Dance. I also love getting hong bao or lai see – small, red envelopes filled with money!" Emily Hoy Center Grove "Usually in China, the family gets together to celebrate the new year. We have dinner and we wish each other health and hope for the future. Here in the United States, we have a party at the house after work." John Lin Perry Township "I had one unforgettable experience in the countryside. Many years ago, our family including my parents, my aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters spent the new year time in the village that is my grandma's hometown of Pucheng, Xi'an. In the country, they are more traditional than in city, such as the Miaohui. The Miaohui can be an open market where you could buy and eat something, and there also had traditional shows. This year will be my second time not at home for Chinese New Year." Geng Boxin, Greenwood from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China "The best one was 2006, the first time I went back to China. I went back and saw everybody and we had a big dinner on new year’s eve. After that all my friends gathered together and we went to Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou. We hit the big bell and made a wish. Here we have friends together, cook and eat. It isn't that big. Just a few friends get together and eat Chinese food." June Zheng works in Beech Grove Talk to us! CONNECTING My SOUTHSIDE. CENTER GROVE Visit us online and post your community news! facebook.com/TheSouthsideTimes VIEWS The Southside Times OUR VIEW Your opinion matters! Residents of Greenwood are invited to attend a town hall meeting on Feb. 1, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Greenwood Airport, Main Terminal, 799 E. County Line Rd., Greenwood, IN 46143. The meeting, which is hosted by the Greenwood Common Council, is designed to be an open forum to keep the public informed about things going on in the city. Since Greenwood Common Council typically meets on the first and third Mondays of the month, this open forum meeting held on Saturday is a great opportunity for working folks to attend. And it’s important to attend meetings such as these in order to understand the concerns of members of your community. Open forums like this offer citizens a unique opportunity to play an active role in determining the direction of the city. From friends and neighbors to business owners and blue collar workers—everyone has a voice to share! What are your greatest concerns in your community, Southsiders? Whether your concerns are potholes, school closures, coyotes or something else entirely, this meeting is the place to offer your contribution to the Greenwood community. ………… Another meeting you might want to consider will take place at two Southside Indianapolis library branches. The Indianapolis Public Library is hosting a series of Yours to Create: Neighborhood Meeting on the Libraries Strategic Plan. With the first meeting canceled due to the weather conditions, the first will take place at the Southport Branch on Feb. 3, 6-8 p.m. The second is at Garfield Park Branch on Feb. 5, 6-8 p.m. The library CEO will discuss the vision along with community needs. We think it’s great that the library is allowing the public to have some insight as to the future of this needed resource. The Southside Times welcomes letters to the editor in good taste.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." ~ Victor Hugo (1802-1885) 7 BACK SHOP January cold slams small businesses We have just one more day and the month of January is officially gone – we think we just heard a collective hurray! We don’t believe we have lived through a more vicious January that the 2014 version. This month has challenged us all – and, in particular, the small business owner. We found this on Facebook from Edwards Drive-In, 2126 S. Sherman Dr., which pretty much sums it up: “Small, and specifically family owned, businesses can drastically suffer this time of year; sales are typically down, and all of us are at the mercy of Mother Nature. So far, the media has concentrated their efforts on pointing out the dangers of the weather, what is being done by the city to help those that need it, and what schools are doing because of the weather. There have been a few small reports about local businesses, and the hurt they are feeling, but I do not believe the issue has received the attention it should. Here at Edwards, we believe in helping those that need it, and for giving everyone a chance. As such, we have quite a few employees that absolutely depend on their job, on their opportunity, to survive; typically, its not just that one person, its the entire family. Our employees' families depend on us to keep the heat running, but what happens when we, the restaurant, find ourselves struggling to keep our heat on? Due to the weather, and frustratingly display of "how bad it is out there" by the media, our sales are drastically down from the previous year, with no influx in sight. Put simply - this weather is killing us slowly. And, by extension, the families of our employees. It won't be the weather directly that hurts us, it will be the lack of business that is directly affected by the weather. So, indirectly, the weather is what is hurting us all.” We couldn’t have said it better. Support our small business - they need it now more than ever as they continue to dig themselves out of January’s horrible weather.

Augustine is one of the many independent and active seniors that you will find here at Rosegate. Augustine moved to Rosegate from another senior community, where she had resided for the past two years. She enjoys being active and wanted to be in a community that offered many opportunities. When she and her daughter visited Rosegate, she fell in love with our garden homes. An avid gardener, one thing that was a “must have” was a place to enjoy her flowers. The residents at Rosegate are always encouraged to add personal touches when they move in their new home. Soon after moving in, Augustine was busy working in her flower garden in front of her home. She and her daughter both loved the look of the community and grounds. “The attention to detail and the upkeep of the community is great, and I won’t have to worry about shoveling snow this winter!” Having been a resident here for about 9 months, Augustine is frequently seen at activities and enjoying breakfast in the dining room with her neighbors. She is also thinking about joining our New Energy Wellness fitness program. “I did the right thing by moving to Rosegate” she said.

State of the City Beech Grove Library Board Meeting Feb. 18 - 6 p.m. Beech Grove Public Library Board Room Beech Grove Mayor Dennis Buckley gave the State of the City Address for 2014 on Jan. 27, reporting that the city is doing better than expected. In October 2013, the City Council passed a fully funded and balanced budget for 2014. In 2013 with the Main Street reconstruction was the biggest project that the city had undertaken in years. As for 2014, the city expects new businesses such as Waffle House, Steverino’s Eatery, Jimmy John’s and Beech Grove Senior NRP Group. Speaking of how the project changed the face of the city, Buckley stated, “let’s keep good things happening.” It’s simple, really. How well you retire depends on how well you plan today. Whether retirement is down the road or just around the corner, the more you work toward your goals now, the better prepared you can be. Preparing for retirement means taking a long-term perspective. We recommend buying quality investments and holding them because we believe that’s the soundest way we can help you work toward your goals. At Edward Jones, we spend time getting to know your retirement goals so we can help you reach them.

FAITH The Southside Times Have you had a piece of humble pie lately? DEVOTIONAL By Pastor Paul A. Kirby "The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;" ~ Isaiah 2:11-12 & 17-20 I have come across many arrogant people in my time and others who were extremely humble. Those proud (vainly so) of themselves were the hardest for me to accept or even be around. We all have the ability to feel that way about ourselves, our accomplishment but when I ever begin to feel vain about myself the Holy Spirit reminds me of something my Savior said, "Without Me, you can do nothing." I once worked with a man in a factory in Columbus, Ind. We were talking one day about God and Christ and eternity. He was not exactly an atheist, maybe an agnostic, I really don't know. But as we talked about my being a Christian and how that it was that I finally bowed before Jesus and confessed my sins to Him and accepted Him as Lord, he made this comment to me: "I will never bow my knees to any man, not even Jesus. No one can force me to do that." I responded to him with this, "Yes, you will. Either in this life or in eternity, you will bow your knee to Jesus and confess that He is Lord." I believe our conversation about this subject ended there. To me it is a privilege and a pleasure to even find myself in the presence of Jesus Christ and counted as one of His family members. What would my life be without Him being who and what He is? Oh, so many are confused about this issue today. They never have quite known their mission in life so they just made it up as they moved through. I am not saying that everything has been crystal clear, but one thing I know is this; my life has been an endeavor to be in the will of God and never to be in opposition to Him in any way. I may not have been absolutely perfect in my knowledge of what He has expected of me, but when I did know that, I surely attempted to measure up to it. In the last day of time the proud shall be humbled and the mighty shall be made weak in the knees. Those who have bragged their way through life about their accomplishments achieved on their own will discover that it was not them at all but God who patiently waited for the moment in time when they would awaken to the fact that they were His subjects all along. May God bless you with a sense of humility similar to that of Jesus Christ. It will help you deal with the times when times are too challenging for you and a sense of failure creeps in. God bless and go and have a great day. Paul A. Kirby is the pastor at the Church of God at 3939 S.
