Crash survivor reaches out, thanks Beech Grove and IFD By Eric Ellis Firefighters and emergency response crews may not be nervous out in the field—saving lives is in the job description after all—but Indianapolis Fire Department and Beech Grove Fire Department members joke amongst themselves that they’re nervous to be in uniform in front of cameras and media. The two departments gathered on Saturday, April 11 at IFD Station 43 at 7604 E 10th St., Indianapolis, for a rare occurrence. Guy Norman Towell, 58, made a trip with his wife of 19 years, Sherry, and granddaughter, Bella Figueroa, 8, to Indianapolis from Salisbury, N.C., to thank the men and women who rescued him from an overturned semi-truck in October 2013. Towell was extricated successfully and transported by Beech Grove Medic 56 to Methodist Hospital. After several months and approximately 30 surgeries, Towell, though he lost his leg due to an infection, was able to make the trek to Indy. Before Towell arrived, Beech Grove Lt. Ryan Tusing recalled the events that transpired that evening in October 2013. “Well, we were the first engine on the scene,” Tusing said. “We saw a single semi on its side and confirmed an entrapped person that ‘needed a lot of help.’ We talked to him and tried to keep him calm until IFD arrived with an extrication crew.” Tusing said he’d spoken to Towell over the phone the evening prior regarding the reunion. “’I’ll be kinda emotional,’ he told me,” Tusing said. Once Towell and his family arrived at Station 43, he and his wife shook hands and exchanged hugs with the crewmembers. “You saved him. There’s no doubt in my mind,” Sherry said. “I’ll never be able to thank you enough… (You) didn’t give up—even after an hour and a half of work—it’s incredible.” Towell said he was more than grateful for the opportunity to thank everybody. “I’ve never been so glad to hear sirens in my life,” Towell quipped. “We’re very grateful to all of you. Remember when you get back from your calls—you didn’t get back by accident. God’s watching out for you, just as y’all watched out for me… I’m convinced. God saved my life from hell, and y’all saved my life from death.” After the tears and many thanks, Towell and his family joined the fire crews for a traditional firehouse meal of hamburgers and hotdogs, grilled by IFD.

Do you use the public library and what do you like best about them? "What I like best about the library is the availability of so many products that you can access: books, movies, videos, documentaries… The whole gamut of things that you can get and it doesn’t cost you anything. It is fantastic." Andrew Mathes of Franklin Township "I like it just because of all the resources. Most commonly I use if to access the Internet, like right now in between stops with my job. It gives me a place to go. I also get DVDs from it. I really like the Kindle books that they have now available. It is just a very pleasant place to spend time. It is quiet. It is well maintained and it is a nice place to be. I lived overseas in the Philippines for about 13 years. They didn’t have libraries and that was one of the things that I missed the most. Being in a place without this available you realize what a great asset it is and what a great resource it is to have public libraries that are so well-equipped." "I do use the public library. Not only Beech Grove but also Indianapolis / Marion County. I think our public library system across the nation is the jewel in the crown of our country. Just think of all the advantages that you get to participate in by having your library card. Computer use, library loan books, videos, resources, research. It is amazing, all for free. Can’t be beat."

Outside is the worst place to be during a tornado! By voting yes to the referendum, when the tornado sirens sound, students will already have a sturdy roof over their heads and not have the worry of going into the storm. Vote yes! Kayleigh Cooper Perry Meridian 6th Grade Academy (former Burkhart student) AROUND TOWN AROUND TOWN April is National Prevention of Cruelty to Animals month Donald Sommer of Franklin Township Sister Mary Luke Jones of Beech Grove READERS' WRITES Do you live in Perry Township? Do you have kids who attend school there? No? Well, have you considered selling your home one day? If the answer is yes, then your vote for the referendum needs to also be yes! Why? Because if we don’t make changes for our schools to be safer environments for our students, if we aren’t able to offer specials to our students, and if we can’t provide transportation for our students then no one is going to want to purchase homes in Perry Township. They will look to neighboring schools, leaving you to take a possible loss on your home. Think to the future! Vote yes! "I like the movies, the Minecraft (video game) books, and the books about animals that they have. I go to the library whenever my mom takes me."

Southport Rd. • Southport, IN 46227 For more information visit our facebook page at www.facebook.com/southportantiquemall Indianapolis - American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has designated April as National Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. The City of Indianapolis has many ordinances to govern the treatment of animals and help prevent cruelty. Section 531-401 of the city’s municipal code deals with the care and treatment of animals, and specifically mentions the city’s laws on tethering, or chaining. “Tethering” is defined as “the practice of fastening a dog to a stationary object or stake, usually in the owner’s backyard, as a means of keeping the animal under control.” Tethering does not refer to an animal being walked on a leash. Tethering of a dog is allowed in Indianapolis, but there are many restrictions that apply. In Indianapolis, it is “unlawful for any animal to be tethered between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.” This law gives the dog a break from the chain and encourages the owner to bring the dog inside the house at night. It is also unlawful to tether any dog that has not been neutered or spayed for any period of time, unless it is being monitored by a competent adult for the entire tethering period. For more information on tethering, please visit indy.gov/accd.

DAR discusses revolutionary schools Southside - Monthly meeting of Daughters of the American Revolution April 6, 2015. The Daughters had a guest speaker Janice Bollenger, DAR State School Chairman. Janice gave a speech about the six DAR schools, most of which are in southern states. These schools are all on land owned by DAR but are run by the public school system in the area that the school is located. The Mary Bryan DAR has helped the Kate Duncan Smith DAR School located in Grant Alabama. Mary Bryan donates to the back pack program. Food is put in the back packs to help feed the children during the week-end since nearly 60 percent of the students are below the poverty level. You could rename 2nd Street Southport - The City of Southport will soon take ownership of the East half of the original 2nd Street. They will build the new street as a two-lane boulevard with 20’ lanes each side of a 10’ center median and plan to use the street for festivals and some City events. The RDC will choose a new name for the street. The public is invited to submit name suggestions to Duane Langrek, [email protected], before the end of April. The RDC will narrow down suggestions and allow the public to vote at the Spring Festival on May 9. The Southside Times VIEWS ss-times.com • Week of April 16-22, 2015 OUR VIEW 5 HUMOR Death, taxes and trash Tax day has come and gone once again, and the world lived to tell the tale. After we put away our calculators, papers, pens, pencils and immoderate doses Advil, the time had come once again to fill up the gas can and dust off the mower—these April showers are relentless and living up to their namesake. As such, the green grass grows high. We noticed, too, that some hardworking city employees were out and about mowing medians and city property as well. What was unsettling was the amount of litter along the sides of the road—in drainage ditches, clogging storm drains, you name it. From south of County Line all the way up to Fletcher Place— litter lined the streets. Before the grass could even be cut, a small army was needed to pick up the filth: fast food containers, plastic bottles, candy wrappers, and (perhaps the worst of them all) cigarette butts. "We’d like to thank the hardworking men and women who devote their time to beautifying our communities…" We’d like to thank the hardworking men and women who devote their time to beautifying our communities, whether it’s a neighborhood association, a city department, or a handful of volunteers—your efforts are appreciated and do not go unnoticed.

" BACKSHOP More questions, still no answers on Hillary email scandal In December 2012 congressional investigators asked Hillary Clinton directly if she used a private email account while serving as secretary of state. Her answer: Silence. The question, in a letter from House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and first reported by The New York Times, was posed seven weeks before Clinton’s tenure ended. When the State Department eventually responded to Issa’s demand in March 2013, nearly two months after she left office, officials also ignored the question about Clinton’s digital hygiene. Given Clinton’s admission that she used a personal account (and a private server) exclusively as secretary, news of this apparent dodge adds to a scandal that has cost the Democratic presidential candidate dearly in polls. As the drip of damaging details continues, when and in what venue Clinton will address the growing scandal is the question. Los Angeles Times reports that the entertainment industry has swung fully into line this time and will not buck Clinton’s second bid.

Monthly Move-In Specials Photo by Nicole Davis Nick Beaman Greenwood firefighter says GFD has become like his second family BEHIND the BADGE When Nick Beaman was searching for a new job, he said his cousin would talk about the great aspects of being a firefighter. He could hear it in his cousin’s voice how much he loved his job. Since he started with the Greenwood Fire Department in 2012, Beaman said he’s discovered that same love for firefighting. “I get to come here and do the best job in the world and be with my second family,” Beaman said. “It’s the comradery that we share. We’re here for a third of our lives. The relationships that develop in here and outside of here, that’s hard to get these days in other industries.” Beaman grew up in Beech Grove, graduating from Beech Grove High School. He moved to Greenwood shortly after. When he decided to pursue fire service, he said he knew he had to be on the Greenwood Department. He currently works at Station 91 on Main St., Greenwood. “Since that first day, I knew I had a desire to work here and be in this city,” Beaman said. “It’s not really work. It’s making money doing what you like.” • 100% Maintenance-Free Living • Continuum Care Campus • Scheduled Activity Calendar • Transportation Provided • Meal Plans Provided What was your inspiration to become a police officer/firefighter? What inspired me the most was the service aspect. I live in Greenwood and do everything in Greenwood so there’s no better honor than to serve Greenwood. I see it as a selfless career. It’s very gratifying to help people in their time of need and give back to the community. “Where caring people make the difference!” ASCSeniorCare.com CMG 150017 What has been one of your most gratifying on the job? One of my greatest moments so far, I was riding in the seat as an officer one day, back in November. We got a call for a fire in a different district. We were the first there. I was the first ‘officer’ there. We all worked well to- gether to get it under control. Everyone went home safe. It was good to see all that training we do go into work and to see how well everything turned out. What aspect of the job do you find most challenging? I’m a family-oriented person. I have a 3-year-old daughter. Being away from her is challenging at times. I’ve been here on Christmas, Thanksgiving, this year on her birthday. On the other hand, I have my family here, too, so it works out. I just hate missing out on memories and opportunities to watch her grow up. What do you enjoy doing in your off-time? I work another job, so free time is far and few in between. I like being with my family. When the warm weather comes around (my daughter) and I get outside a lot. We go to a lot of parks, a lot of bike rides. What are your future goals, professionally or personally? I’ve been able to obtain one: getting hired full-time here. I started part-time in August 2012. I was hired full-time in July last year. I plan on spending my entire career here. The great thing about the fire service is there’s no ceiling. There’s always room to grow and ranks to be earned, continuous training. I just try to be the best I can for the department and the city. What would you have done if you hadn't of became a police officer/firefighter? I was in construction for 10 years before I decided to pursue fire services. The falling economy was a blessing in disguise. I was out of work for a while. I had friends in the fire service, learned about it and decided to pursue it. Had that not happened, I’d probably still be in the same field.

This armor is a shield against anything foreign that may step across our path as we tend to our day to day affairs – fully confident that we’ll rise above obstacles before us. We are most comfortable with the familiar and want it to stay that way. But the day will end, as it always does, and darkness blankets us into another realm where the certain can easily become the uncertain. No… it’s not about an apocalypse of flesh-eating zombies, but rather a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability that we can’t quite put a finger on. The mind dwells on the possibilities… what will the night hours bring out? Is it increased crime, a sudden lack of security, a sense that all is not right with the world, a loosening of morals or strange powers at work? We wonder about these things. You can’t help but do it too. Many feel another realm of power takes over as daylight transitions into the shadows of night time. It is, after all, not unfamiliar ground. If we have been alive for any length of time it is a daily evolution that is guaranteed (predictable and never ending) and as assured as the clock ticking down the hours of our lives. It is our safety blanket that assures us that life is running a normal course. However, the American Indians felt that day to night was (and is) a transformation of forces and a consensual changing of the guard, so to speak. We are the masters of the daylight hours as life takes on a normalcy that is both comforting and familiar. Yet, the night becomes the abode of something completely else! While the daylight does not restrict paranormal occurrences, it would seem the night and gathering darkness gives these paranormal happenings a sense of significance. Doors are opened, while other doors of rationality and normalcy are slammed shut. The darkness has become a large part of my own personal paranormal evolution. I feel comfortable about it now, but it wasn’t always that way. The years have been kind as I have tried to make some sense of a world that was quite different from the one experienced in the daylight hours and one that can flip at a moment’s notice.

Lyme disease is transmitted by ticks and can affect dogs as well as humans. The Midwest and upper North East are areas where Lyme Disease is most commonly found. Indiana is an area where there are significant cases of Lyme Disease. It is a disease that attacks many organs and parts of the body. In dogs, the disease is characterized by joint soreness and fever. In older dogs, this could be mistaken for arthritis. It can also cause kidney damage as well as damage to other organs. Symptoms often do not appear for two or three months or more after being bitten by an infected tick. Lyme Disease is often difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can vary greatly. Lyme Disease can be treated after being diagnosed. Treatment typically consists of a 15- to 30-day regimen of tetracycline or penicillin antibiotics. Diagnosis is done by a blood test checking for antibodies. Prevention of Lyme Disease is two-fold. The first and most important is control of ticks. It is important to use tick prevention products during the tick season which extends from early spring to midsummer or later. The second is to have your pet vaccinated against Lyme Disease. We strongly recommend both the use of a tick preventative as well as vaccinations for your pet against this serious disease.

NIGHT & DAY The Southside Times BEHIND BARS Home… cute, funny, animated good time MOVIE REVIEW By Adam Staten The last couple of weekends at the box office have been pretty light as far as new releases go. The choices have been a movie filled with car chases, predictability, and bad acting, or one based on the writing of Nicholas Sparks. Instead of spending two hours watching the latest explosion- and testosterone-filled entry in the Fast and Furious series (and wanting to avoid anything involving Nicholas Sparks), I decided to check out one that has been out a couple of weeks. Home is the latest animated feature film from Dreamworks starring Jim Parsons and Rihanna. Home is the story of Oh (voiced by Parsons), a friendly, but socially unaware and awkward boov alien. As the film opens, the boov need a new planet to inhabit in order to avoid the evil Gorg, who wishes nothing but death and destruction for the friendly, purple boov aliens. The boov eventually decide to take over planet Earth, but in doing so, they must move all of the humans on Earth to make enough room. After arriving on his new home planet, Oh plans a house warming party and sends an email invite to everyone in the universe including the evil Gorg. Oh must quickly correct his mistake before Gorg or any of the boov finds out. During his mission to right his wrong, Oh runs into Tip Caregiver Support Groups • Catholic Charities Indianapolis sponsors monthly caregiver support groups for family members who are caregivers of older adults.

Phone:(317) 215-7224 Bartender: Emily Hollowell (voiced by Rihanna), a human searching for her mother who was displaced in the boov relocation process. Tip and Oh team up and the two soon learn what it really means to be home. Home is not the best-written animated film to come out in the last couple of years. It often gets distracted and deviates from the plot for one unnecessary joke or two. However, the characters are so fully developed and the friendship between Oh and Tip feels so real that it helps in overlooking some minor lack of focus in the writing and several instances of deviating from the plot. Again, the voice acting is not the strongest here either. Rihanna is noticeably weaker than Parsons, whose character, Oh, is incredibly similar to Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory. Parsons does pick up the slack and carries the film with his funny, Yodaesque dialogue and delivery. Home is probably not the best animated film you’ll see all year, but it’s still funny, touching enough to keep you entertained and interested and one the kids are sure to enjoy. 3.5 out of 5.

There, they were able to delve deeper into the art world and open their minds to new experiences. Some exhibits included Contemporary art as well as Impressionism. From big names like Van Gogh, Seurat, and Picasso to esoteric artists like Alexander Calder, students were able to get just a glimpse of what art and its aesthetic experience can do. I sat down with senior Leah Heath to hear what she had to say. ‘It really opened my eyes,’ Heath explained. ‘Not just to the beauty of art but to the aesthetic feeling as well.’ The museum contained interactive pieces in which the viewer becomes the art. The students left the museum feeling as though they themselves were pionship held April 3-4, at Warren Central High School in Indianapolis.

Students who registered for this Intersession class were provided with a one week course covering the Holocaust and the genocide in Rwanda. The session included reading, “I Will Plant You a Lilac Tree: A Memoir of a Schindler’s List Survivor,” viewing the movies, Schindler’s List and Hotel Rwanda, researching the Rwandan genocide timeline and atrocities while comparing/ contrasting to the Holocaust, and a field trip to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center to tour and listen to a Holocaust survivor.

DISPATCHES Fun Facts from National Geographic "High in dense bamboo forests in the misty, rainy mountains of southwestern China lives one of the world’s rarest mammals: the GIANT PANDA, also called the panda. Only about 1,000 of these blackand-white relatives of bears survive in the wild. Pandas eat almost nothing but bamboo shoots and leaves. Occasionally they eat other vegetation, fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99 percent of their diets. Pandas eat fast, they eat a lot, and they spend about 12 hours a day doing it. They digest only about a fifth of what they eat. Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay healthy, they have to eat a lot— up to 15 percent of their body weight in 12 hours—so they eat fast. Pandas’ molars are very broad and flat. The shape of these teeth helps the animals crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and stems they eat. To get the bamboo to their mouths, they hold the stems with their front paws, which have enlarged wrist bones that act as thumbs for gripping. A panda should have at least two bamboo species where it lives, or it will starve. Pandas are shy; they don’t venture into areas where people live. This restricts pandas to very limited areas."

Preparing in advance can help make the trip more relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Thoughtful Planning: While direct flights might cost a little more, they can make a big difference when you are traveling with older adults. If you are traveling by car, pre-plan your route and stopovers. Make sure to plan for rest breaks. 2. Copy of Medical File: No one likes to think their vacation will be interrupted by an emergency, but it is important to be prepared just in case. Make sure to bring a copy of your senior loved one’s medical file that includes their medical history, medications, and physician contact information. You might find it easier to safely store the information in a smart phone app like My Medical App or Care Zone. 3. Emergency Contact Cards: On the chance that you become separated from your older family member in a busy airport or rest stop, be sure they have a card with your cell phone number on it or they have their own cell phone. Even a disposable phone that you purchase for them just for vacations and outings would work. If your senior loved one has memory loss caused by some form of dementia, you might also want to include additional family members’ names and contact information on the cards. Put copies of the cards in their wallet, purse and pockets. If you decide that taking your aging family member with you on vacation just isn’t feasible, a respite stay in a senior living community might be a solution to consider.

Herrmann Funeral Homes For 89 years G.H. Herrmann Funeral Homes has guaranteed the finest service at the fairest price and that philosophy still holds true today. Founded in 1926 by the late George Harry Herrmann, G.H. Herrmann Funeral Homes is the premier funeral provider. We are not only the oldest, but the only family-owned funeral home and cemetery on the Southside. With three locations, we are sure to meet your every need. Our funeral home's dedicated staff wants to help you and can play a critical role in planning and carrying out a meaningful funeral or memorial service. Our licensed funeral directors are intimately familiar with the funeral planning process, key decisions that a grieving family must make, and necessary legal documentation that is required during this difficult time. Three generations of experience and knowledge oversee every detail of your tailored services. Founded by Jeff Herrmann, The Gardens was designed to be the finest cemetery around. With generous flowerbeds and a collection of fine rare species of trees, we want to bring a peaceful and beautiful cemetery to Greenwood. The mausoleum is made of all Hoosier components. Using real limestone, the mausoleum was designed in a radius style, making it one of two built like this in the world. The curve really accentuates the architecture throughout the cemetery. The gardens at Olive Branch offers the highest quality in funeral services on Indy’s Southside including: Finest burial spaces available, engineered to assure our grounds remain dry, beautiful granite upright monuments, finest private family estates and the historic 1833 Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Freedom Plaza9/11 Memorial The Gardens at Olive Branch is also home to our 9/11 Memorial called the “Freedom Plaza.” Mr. Herrmann created this beautiful structure to thank all of our servicemen and first responders. Our memorial boast a steel beam from the World Trade Center Tower 1, limestone from rebuilding the Pentagon, and soil from the crash site of Flight 93. The beam is supported by brick columns that contain cremation niches and a pentagonshaped planter filled with 8 yards of dirt hauled in from Shanksville, Pa. There’s also the eternal flame, with its limestone base crafted by Brian Swersky, who built an identical flame at John F. Kennedy’s gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery. Preplanning No one likes to think about death, let alone plan for it. A family discussion of funeral planning, although sensitive, can be a very satisfying experience for you and your family. It allows you to share feelings about funeral and burial arrangements and keep others informed of your personal preferences. It also allows an opportunity to put all your affairs in order in a relaxed and confident way.

SeniorSavingsDISPATCH Hang up the landline The elimination of a landline may seem like a daunting move, but it’s ultimately a time and money saver—and you’ll be much less likely to receive pre-recorded sales calls or solicitations from telemarketers. And you don’t necessarily need to switch out the landline for a lengthy contract with a mobile network provider; there are plenty of pay-as-you-go plans as well. A few things to make note of before cutting the cord—figure out how much time you spend on the phone, who you speak with most often, or whether or not texting is a fitting substitute for vocal communication. – seniorliving.org IT’S GOLDEN The Southside Times ss-times.com • Week of April 16-22, 2015 23 National Healthcare Decisions Day end-of-life wishes can be very uncomfortable, but it is important to make them known. Making decisions ahead of time will help avoid making your loved ones guess what you would might want, should you become seriously ill and unable to make your own decisions. There are a variety of resources available to help get the conversation started and to document your wishes. You can visit nhdd.org for a variety of resources to get you started. Once you have determined your wishes and completed your living will and/ or power of attorney, be sure to share it with your loved ones. It will not do any good if it is locked away.

Maintaining a sense of self ASSISTED LIVING By Eunice Trotter, American Senior Communities Many people would prefer to age in place at home, but when living independently becomes too difficult or even dangerous, making the move to an assisted living facility is vital. Transitioning from your home to an assisted living community doesn’t mean that you will have to sacrifice your independence and autonomy. These days, assisted living communities work hard to take their residents’ needs and comfort into consideration, while allowing them the help they may need with activities of daily living and keeping them safe. If you’re worried about maintaining your independence and sense of self as you move into an assisted living facility, there are plenty of ways for you to remain feeling in control in your new living arrangement. • Bring personal items with you. Many assisted living communities will allow you to bring items from your home, like photos, pillows, knickknacks, and even some furniture. Having these personal things surround you in your new home will help ease the transition into your new living space. • Get involved in activities. Spending time with other residents will give you a chance to connect with others and grow new relationships, helping take away that feeling of isolation you may have previously experienced when living independently in your home. Perhaps you like to knit or garden. Many communities will offer these types of activities to their residents. Plus, learning something new will promote mental growth and stimulation. • Keep in touch with family and friends. American Senior Communities Assisted Liv- ing facilities encourage residents to stay connected to relatives and friends. Create a calendar and write down the dates and times people will be visiting or calling to give yourself something to look forward to each week. It’s important for family members to recognize the importance of establishing a communication routine with loved ones in assisted living, too. • Get to know the staff. Upon your arrival to the assisted living community, you and your care giving loved ones should arrange to speak to the staff. The more information you can give the staff about yourself, the better they will work to meet your needs. Let them know your daily routines, your favorite foods and snacks. The staff will work diligently to ensure that they are providing the best care possible while allowing you to maintain as much independence as possible in a homelike, secure environment. American Senior Communities locations provide opportunities to participate in group outings to senior centers, shopping or church, allowing you to stay connected outside of the assisted living facility as you have in the past. Moving into an assisted living facility might take a little adjusting, but there is no reason why you cannot maintain a level of independence once you are there. American Senior Communities operates Assisted Living facilities statewide. Southside Indianapolis locations are: Beech Grove Meadows, 2002 Albany St.; Rosegate, 7525 Rosegate Dr.; and Bethany Village, 3530 S. Shelby St. For more information about American Senior Communities’ Assisted Living communities, visit ASCSeniorCare.com/assisted-living-apartments/. Advance directives are a topic not often discussed and not always understood. Unfortunately, many people aren’t aware of what Advance Directives are until they are in a crisis. With the 8th Annual National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16, now is a great time to discuss them. So, what exactly are advance directives? Advance directives are legal documents that help to make your wishes known about endof-life care. There are two main documents that are used. A living will is a document that expresses your wishes about medical treatment if you are permanently unconscious or dying. A power of attorney for health care (or durable power of attorney) is a document that names your proxy. A proxy is who you want to speak on your behalf if you are unable to do so.

And while the basic form 1040 has not changed much over the years, the funeral service business has. Traditionally, those who helped care for you when a loved one died were people you knew. They attended your church, belonged to your YMCA , served in the Chamber of Commerce. They had been in the community for generations and they served you, your grandparents and your great grandparents. When they made funeral arrangements, they came to your home, made decisions in your living room, and followed up after the service to see how you were doing. Today, your local funeral home may still be owned by a family in your community. Then again, it may not. You will find funeral homes in Greenwood and Perry Township that are not. Wall Street has penetrated the funeral industry. From the outside, there is little difference: same name, same building, sometimes same employees. But many local funeral directors can no longer make decisions in your living room. They answer to investors and boards. They have P&L statements, quarterly goals and their children will not inherit the family business. Corporate-owned funeral homes claim they can save consumers money through discounts and fixed rate pricing. But dealing with the tragedy of losing a loved one is a far cry from getting a fast food meal. Funeral ceremonies are about people, not products. It is about creating ceremonies that suit the needs of the survivors, and celebrate the life of those who have left us. It is why historically those who have served the community best have also lived in the community for many generations. Names can be deceiving. What may appear to be a locally-owned operation may simply be a larger chain whose headquarters is thousands of miles away in Pennsylvania, Kansas, or Texas. It is also important that, if familyowned, is the owner a licensed Funeral Director in Indiana? As a consumer, you have a right to know whether you are being served by a community-based family or a profit-based corporation. The funeral business is a service industry. Independent funeral directors own their funeral homes, and therefore have complete flexibility to meet the special circumstances and requests unique to every family going through loss. They are able to meet a family’s financial concerns without further approvals, and can personalize a funeral service based on the needs of you and your family. In short, they do not have to go back to a board or a 25 We’ve done the shopping for you Singleton Community By Paul C. St.Pierre, President of Wilson St.Pierre Funeral Service & Crematory corporate manager to make decisions. Independent funeral homes, such as the members of Selected Independent Funeral Homes, have worked in their respective communities for generations. Selected Independent Funeral Homes is the world’s oldest and largest association of independently-owned and community based funeral service providers. The association believes in a connection to the community, accountability to families served, and the need to maintain an exemplary reputation well beyond minimum professional standards. Their commitment is that a family receives the best information, the best care and the greatest flexibility in developing a funeral or memorial service that meets the family’s needs. When the time comes to plan a funeral, you want to know who you can trust. Find out who in your community has been there for generations—in your community. They are the families who have the ability to make decisions without checking with a corporate owner. Whether you desire a funeral home with signature services, or one that has fewer offerings and simplicity, you should get what you want with a family owned funeral home. If you are not sure what independent funeral provider can best serve your needs, ask friends, neighbors or clergy for recommendations. Daniel F.

Herrmann The Southside Times 26 Week of April 16-22, 2015 • ss-times.com IT’S GOLDEN The Southside Times Understanding isolation and loneliness in seniors SUPPORT By Right at Home Loneliness in older adults can be intense. Loss of family and friends, changes in physical condition, and changes in lifestyle can all cause loneliness in seniors, or others for that matter. Loss of family and friends: This seems pretty obvious. Someone loses a spouse that they have lived with for 50+ years. Suffering the loss of a spouse may feel like they have lost a part of themselves – and they have. Losing most or all of one’s siblings can also make one experience grief and loneliness. If you lost your siblings, how lonely would you feel? The ones they have had the closest friendships and ties with might also be gone. This impact cannot be underrated. Physical changes: Many physical changes occur which can lead to loneliness including eyesight worsening, mobility decreasing, and cognitive impairments. These physical changes can lead to loss of driving privileges which can be a very traumatic loss. This very independent generation cannot visit their friends, shop, or go to the doctor without assistance. They have gone from independent to dependent. The same conditions that made them lose their driving ability can hinder their social interactions. Maybe they cannot recognize her friends as easily as they used or they might start forgetting their friends and families names due to dementia. And maybe they are hard of hearing, so social interactions can be even more embarrassing due to their inability to hear what is said. Remember, this is a very proud generation. Lifestyle Changes: During the aging process, we normally must change our lifestyle. We need to downsize our home into an easier to maintain, single level home. They may move into a new location to be closer to their family so they need to make new friends at their new location! They may have lost their spouse so they go from couple to widow/widower. They may still be grieving the loss of their spouse and now they are in a different social caste. It may be up to you to help them overcome their sense of isolation.

I read your reports on The Southside Times, which covers the Southside communities of Indianapolis. Ever since I found them, I make-a-point to check out your comments every week. I cut them out, and am putting them in a binder, for reference. As a person that enjoys tutoring the English language to Hispanics in my area, I really try to teach good grammar. The kids from the past are picking up the ‘StreetEnglish,’ too, so when I see them during the summer, I start noticing the changes. They use ‘duh’ for ‘the,’ ‘I seen’ for ‘I saw,’ ’di-dent’ for didn’t and etc. I really cringe at the last one. I was using the vocabulary lists on shortvowel-sounds. We came across ‘loll.’ I told the student it was‘a period of calm in the midst of a storm or pause in music that is playing.’ Then got to the short-vowel U sounds, and saw ’lull.’ Right away I knew my mistake. I realized I did not know the word ‘loll’. I got out the dictionary to compare the 2 words. ‘Loll’ is to hang out, dangle loosely or droop. I was not familiar with this word. I am not afraid to get out the dictionary, in front of my students and admit ‘I don’t know.’ Mostly I use it to get the Spanish definition, so I can translate the English better to them. I am retired, so this a just a fun way to use my extra time. Have been doing this for 15 years. Keep up the good work!” ~ Mrs. Clem Sare Answer: Thanks for the letter, Clem! Normally I wouldn’t print one this long in its entirety, but I loved your story so much I wanted to share it with my readers. “Loll” is actually a very interesting word. In addition to the definition you provided above, there is also “angle of loll,” which in sailing is the term for a ship that cannot remain upright stably. More interesting for us landlubbers, though, is a unique use of “loll” you’ll only find in America: “lollygag.” The Oxford English Dictionaries estimate “loll” entered the language in late Middle English – around the 1600s. But “lollygag” doesn’t show up until the 1840s, and only in America. If you’ve ever been accused of lollygagging, you’ll know what it means: to dawdle; to fool around; to waste time. You can see how it evolved from the intransitive verb form of “loll,” which means to sit, lie or stand in a lazy, relaxed way. We Americans love to play around with and modify the language – and that’s great. While you’re out there fighting the good fight, you may even come across the next Americanism that’ll sweep the continent. If you do … let me know!

After years of being hidden away in a local home, the plaque will get mounted at its original location at 2201 E. Southport Rd., with a public dedication on Friday, April 17, 11 a.m. The Perry Township Historical Society will offer a presentation about the bank’s history and significance at the April 17 dedication. Senator Brent Waltz will dedicate the plaque and historical marker. “I was really excited,” said Barry Browning, a member of the Perry Township Historical Society. “As far as I knew, all the traces of that bank were long-gone. When the plaque came up for auction, Christy’s secured it for the city. I’m just tickled. It’s good to see the plaque returned in the bank’s history.” Southport State Bank was originally owned by Jack Whalen. On June 11, 1956, the bank was robbed of $66,546, the second largest robbery in Indiana history at that time. The suspect, Roy Rudolph Drake, was arrested two days later. That may not have been the only time the bank was robbed in its history. Browning says he was a witness to a robbery when he was young, around the same time as the 1956 heist, but he can’t recall if it’s the same incident. “What I remember, I was spending the day with my aunt and uncle,” Browning said. “I was 4 or 5 years old. We were in their car. My uncle had to stop by the bank. At that time there was parking on Southport Road. You could park on the side of the street, across from the bank. My uncle went in and we sat there and sat there. As a fidgety kid, we were wondering what was going on. My aunt gave me some change. I went across the street and got a bottle of orange pop. There were windows on the bank. I put my hands over my head to look into the windows and see what was in there. I said I didn’t see anybody. I told my aunt and she said that’s ridiculous; there had to be people in there. My uncle finally came out and told my aunt asked what happened and he said, ‘We were robbed. They held us at gunpoint and made us lie on the floor and took our wallets.’ That’s the story I remember as a kid.” Browning said they didn’t want to see the plaque just sitting on a shelf someplace. By mounting it at its original location, now E.M. Company owned by Greg Schaub, it will allow the public to see it and become a visible part of where Southport is today. “Our history was saved from being destroyed,” said Southport Mayor Jesse Testruth. “The bank was the main area for the community to come to. It’s exciting. I can’t wait to see this all in place.” 1 2 3 4 12 15 19 5 6 7 9 13 14 16 17 20 24 27 26 28 30 33 35 37 38 41 42 43 49 50 55 56 44 45 51 46 52 53 57 63 64 65 66 67 68 Across 1.

Pat said they continue to grow in their faith at the church, always learning different meanings behind the scripture. “We have friends that we’ve had the whole length of the time we’ve been there and friends that have come along that are very precious to us,” Pat said. Fay and Pat Shockley initially chose to attend First Christian Church of Beech Grove because it was close – about two or three miles from their home. “Distance, that’s not enough to hold you there,” Pat said. “You find that it’s the house of God. You’re happy. As long as it’s a Christcentered church, a God-centered church, you’re in a good place.” The Shockleys have attended the Beech Grove church for more than 50 years, 10 years after they married in 1949.

DEVOTIONAL By Paul Kirby Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them; That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty. ~ Joshua 10:1-2 The city of Jerusalem has been around since nearly the beginning of time. What makes Jerusalem so interesting is that in its earliest years of existence it was an enemy of the army of Israel that had crossed the Jordan River to occupy the land of promise. It was a fortified city that did not fall into the hands of the Jews until David became king. It was he who finally took the city and made it the capital city of the Jews and the kingdom of Israel. He did so because it brought all the 12 tribes of Israel together as one nation or kingdom. David brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and placed it in a tabernacle there and there it remained until Solomon had the temple built after David’s death. Following Solomon’s death the kingdom divided into two kingdoms: Israel to the north and Judah to the south. Jerusalem remained the capital of Judah politically but Samaria the capital of Israel to the north. However, Jerusalem remained the spiritual capital of both. Jerusalem and the temple fell into the hands of the Assyrians and finally the Babylonians. The Babylonians sacked the city, destroyed the temple and tore down the walls. For 70 years Jerusalem lay in ruins until Cyrus the Mede permitted its reconstruction. Then, before Christ was born, it was ransacked again and destroyed by Epiphanes (the Greeks). Herod was in the process of building a new temple at the time that Christ was born but it was not completed until 67 AD. It is this temple that disciples marveled at and pointed out to Jesus as a marvel of construction which was something the Jews could take pride in. Jesus was not impressed with it for He knew that it would not stand there for much longer. It and Jerusalem would be torn down and vacated because of their rejection of Him as the Messiah of the Jews. God spoke glowingly of Jerusalem under David’s and Solomon’s reign. He called it the city where He could put His name and a city where He could dwell among His people. Je- sus, on the other hand, wept over the city because it was a city where He was not welcome and by being there at all was to put His life at risk. He had told His disciples that He was going to Jerusalem to suffer humiliation and death. He was right. He did. What Jesus pronounced was its fate, was its fate and for no other reason than its rebellion against God. The manifestation of this rebellion was seen in its rejection of the Son of God. The Jerusalem of modern times is not the Jerusalem of that time but it is a city where to a large degree it continues to reject Jesus as the Son of God. God bless and go and have a great day. Paul A.
