The Southside Times face to face Q: What does your mother mean to you? "My mother means everything to me. She is the pillar of strength in my life. She is quiet, gentle, kind, and humble. My mother is forgiveness and the true meaning of unconditional love. My mother is all I hope to be as both a person and a mother. When I feel lost, lonely or unsure I go to her. She is home....she is love." The Voice available on NBC and on the XFINITY TV Go app Take your favorites everywhere you go.

Most of Bailey’s pieces are made of wood from a pear tree in his backyard. The light color and sturdy wood allows for the designs to stand out better. He also teaches wood burning class a couple of times a year, and says it’s rewarding to him to help people develop talent in the hobby. “You can develop talent,” Bailey said. “The thing I really appreciated, when someone picks up something and says you’ve done a good job, it humbles me. I use what talent God gave me the best I can.” As a longtime member of Circle City Carvers, Bailey said he looks forward to the upcoming show. They usually have an average 30 artists at the show.

Marion County voters may get energized about the mayoral election this fall, but it could also be something that happens last minute,” Hollis said. “For example, in 2011, (local) municipal voter turnout was roughly 30 percent in November. And in the 2012 presidential elections, Marion County saw 56 percent voter turnout.” Submitted Photos Far left: 1945 at IU-B Dick Brunoehler dives at Indiana University Bloomington in 1945.

He taught and coached for 48 years, earning an induction into the Southport Wall of Fame in 1981 and the Indiana Swimming and Diving Hall of Fame in 2007. Although Dick passed away in December 2014, the Indiana High School Swimming & Diving Hall of Fame named him the winner of the 2015 Hobie Billingsley Award at its April ceremony. “It was bittersweet,” said Dick’s wife, Marilyn Rogers Brunoehler. “I’m happy that he got this award, but sorry he didn’t live to see it.” Dick grew up in Kansas and served in WWII in Japan. Marilyn said that she has a photo of him in his time of service, diving off a 10-meter diving board in Tokyo. “He wasn’t afraid of heights!” Marilyn said. Dick graduated from Indiana University and began teaching math and physical education at Rising Sun, Beech Grove, Southport and Perry Meridian. He coached basketball and track before becoming head swimming and diving coach at Southport in 1958. He transferred to Perry Meridian in 1974 and retired in 1989, but continued coaching until 1998. Long after he retired, Marilyn said he would have former students and swimmers come up to him and introduce themselves. “He’d go home and get his yearbook out for the year of who he was talking to,” Marilyn said. “He’d reminisce about the year.” Dick continued to dive in Masters Diving until the age of 77, traveling to meets across the country. His list of achievements is endless, as Marilyn shows a basket filled with medals that Dick earned throughout the years, not counting the larger trophies displayed through the house. “His accomplishments were so over-the-top,” Marilyn said. “He deserved this award.” He is survived by his wife; sons, David, Phil and Steve Brunoehler; stepsons Brian and Aaron Rogers, 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The Southside Times VIEWS ss-times.com • Week of May 7-13, 2015 HUMOR OUR VIEW Top ten things that Mama said For those who protect and serve In the past few weeks we have witnessed the destruction of a community in Baltimore because of alleged police brutality after an adult African American died in the custody of six police officers – and also, unfortunately, another New York City police officer was shot and killed – one of the eight officers nationally gunned down in the line of duty since March. "…we applaud the men and women in blue that so willingly serve our communities. Their jobs have become increasingly tougher…" Could this happen in Indianapolis? The answer is, of course – we face the same problems other major metropolitan cities face. We just held an election on Tuesday that will determine who occupies the Mayor’s office in 2016. We hope Chuck Brewer and Joe Hogsett are paying close attention to the issue of community policing – whomever is our mayor must continue to work with those leaders who work the front lines of Indy’s respective communities – particularly impoverished neighborhoods and areas with higher rates of violent crimes. Finally, we applaud the men and women in blue that so willingly serve our communities. Their jobs have become increasingly tougher and quite honestly, we can't imagine why anyone – given the climate that they have to work in – would want to go into the profession. We’re grateful IMPD Chief Richard Hite and our other municipal departments and their respective leaderships are so dedicated to maintaining positive, peaceful relationships with those they serve. BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.… In Oregon, dishes must drip dry. -dumblaws.com 5 By Torry Stiles 10.

That she brought me into this world and I ain't going back. 7. That I better shop around. BACKSHOP 6. That she does the hanky-panky. Another primary behind us, congrats to the winners The run-up to the recently concluded municipal primary elections provided excitement across the board – at least for us. It happens every four years (although mostly we wish it were every year). Certainly, elections bring forth all manner of emotions. This year there were several school referendums that folks had a chance to vote on (see page 4 for results). For the school districts, it all worked out. We know that no one yearns for any kind of tax increase, but our schools are important and we believe they are fiscally responsible – especially at a time when funds are limited. There’s no question that when a family looks to a community, a public school district weighs in to the decision making. We are particularly intrigued by the upcoming Indianapolis mayoral race this fall, which will pit Republican Chuck Brewer, a Southside resident and relative newcomer to the local political scene, against Democrat Joe Hogsett, a veteran of the political wars by comparison. And while it may be exciting for us, we do hope future primary elections would see more turnout from the people. Voter turnout out was down again in the area, which seems like a standard cry. But to those that did take the time to vote, we thank you. Brian Kelly Rick Myers 5. Do I want some whiskey in my water or sugar in my tea? 4.

Compiled by Nicole Davis Hospitals: Fuel for a paranormal fire? HAUNTS & JAUNTS By Rick Hinton Hospitals are a strange mixture of both hope and despair. One enters mired with a health condition and then is released back into their world with a profound new lease on life and a vow to take better care of themselves. However, many times one enters and circumstances are not so kind: the ceramic-tiled walls and the smile of a stranger dressed in white could very well be the last glimpse in this earthly life. Hospitals are portraits of life and death — an ongoing saga of the human condition. Hospitals can also be the last hotel where one may check in, but never check out! The former St. Francis Hospital has held a firm imprint on the small town of Beech Grove since 1914. Founded by the Order of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration, it opened its doors as a Catholic charity hospital originally holding only 75 beds. Through the years it transitioned into a 540 bed facility with over 3,000 employees. Presently, one chapter ends as another transition takes place. St. Francis closed its Beech Grove campus and shifted its inpatient service to a newer facility seven miles south on Emerson Avenue. The current question for those residing in the surrounding neighborhoods — what is in store for the castle-like building just off of Albany Street? The building is older, less easily remodeled, and basically landlocked. Yet there are those interested…. Two suitors are currently vying for the property: Los Angeles-based DealPoint Merrill proposes to fill the current building with rent paying medical tenants, while Indianapolis based TWG Development and CEO Joe Whitsett have a vision of tearing down the complex and providing independent living spaces for seniors in addition to single family homes. Closing for DealPoint has been delayed several times while town officials and business owners feel more comfortable with the Whitsett plan. Stakes are high for Beech Grove. The former hospital sits on a prominent corridor of the community, and beginning to look rundown. Many times hospitals retain “impressions” that play havoc on poor employees performing their day to day duties as hospital wheels continue to turn. It’s not a job they signed on for. Administrative staff and the sisters of St. Francis would never admit to any paranormal ramifications while the Beech Grove facility was open. And they certainly won’t now. Regardless, the atmosphere and history of not only St. Francis, but hospitals in general, can be the fuel to a paranormal experience. St. Francis, it would appear, has this fuel.

He’s always at a higher risk for repeat stroke. His is 30 percent higher now than the general population.” Abbe and Jeff said there are many families that don’t catch the symptoms early enough because it is such a rare condition. With May being Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month, they decided to begin advocating for the cause in Indiana. In 2012, they founded Strikes for Pediatric Stroke in Indianapolis, a fundraiser benefitting CHASA. The fourth annual event will take place May 16, 2 – 5 p.m. at Expo Bowling Center, 5261 Elmwood Ave., Indianapolis. The cost is $20 per adult or $15 for ages 12 and under, which includes two games of bowling, shoe rental and soda. “It’s a lot harder for us to get messages across, not only to other families affected but to other communities because, frankly, it doesn’t affect many people and won’t get the awareness that other things do,” Jeff said. “Our message is small and we don’t have a big microphone to sound off to a lot of people to. We’ve been fortunate. This is the least we can do to give back to people who aren’t.” Jeff and Abbe said they are still trying “Our message is small and we don’t have a big microphone to sound off to a lot of people. We’ve been fortunate. This is the least we can do to give back to people who aren’t.” ~ Jeff Harpp to find the best way to promote and raise awareness about pediatric stroke; the bowling alley provides an environment where people who may not have heard about the event beforehand can still walk up and learn. “We’ve been blessed in a lot of ways,” Jeff said. “Kids can’t necessarily communicate their symptoms like adults can. There are a lot of kids that get sent home from the emergency room thinking they have a headache or something and they can suffer something pretty catastrophic. We want it to be in people’s minds, that this can happen.” Photos by Nicole Davis Symptoms of Pediatric Stroke • In newborns and infants: seizures, extreme sleepiness, tendency to use only one side of their body. • In children and teenagers: face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty. • Other signs: severe headache, vomiting, sleepiness, dizziness and coordinating problems. - CHASA.org 8 Week of May 7-13, 2015 • ss-times.com COMMUNITY VIEWS READER'S WRITES Newspaper changes size I recently picked up my weekly copy of The Southside Times and was pleased to see the new appearance.

Celebrating 'Chamber of Commerce Week' The Franklin and Greater Greenwood Chambers are celebrating “Chamber of Commerce Week.” The Indiana Chamber Executives Association (ICEA), the statewide business association for chamber of commerce professionals, established the week of May 4 as “Chamber of Commerce Week” to recognize Indiana’s more than 165 chambers of commerce keeping the state’s economy strong and growing. The Franklin Chamber was founded in 1920 and the Greater Greenwood Chamber in 1954. The Indiana Chamber Executives Association is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2015. Community leaders are encouraged to collaboratively share the positive outcomes and successes of doing business in Indiana this week by using the hashtags #ChamberWeek and #WeAreIndiana. 4-year-old hosts Alex’s Lemonade Stand in Franklin Township In an effort to join the battle against childhood cancer, 4-year-old Kaylee Miller, of Franklin Township, will host an Alex’s Lemonade Stand to raise money for the fight against childhood cancer. Her fundraiser is on May 8, 9 a.m. at 7746 Heatherdown Court, Indianapolis in the Lakeland Trails Subdivision and it coincides with the community garage sale. During Kaylee’s lemonade stand, she will serve fresh lemonade from McAlister’s Deli as well as sell raffle tickets for chances to win great prizes from other local businesses.

Hadler became a paramedic for Decatur County EMS Services after he completed college. After reading in a newspaper that Beech Grove would be hiring, he applied and was hired in 2003. “It’s more than what I thought it’d be,” Hadler said. “There’s the 'family-hood' that the fire department has but there’s the comradery with the police department that the fire department has in Beech Grove, so it’s more. And people here really do respect their public safety professionals.” Hadler was promoted to EMS Duty Officer in 2006, then to lieutenant in 2014. He is currently working with the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS), an independent commission which sets standards for ambulance services, to have the fire department reaccredited. He leads the CPR 9 Fire lieutenant leads health safety courses for the Beech Grove community program, teaching CPR and medical training to eighth graders at Beech Grove Middle School. Hadler also works part-time at Franciscan St. Francis Health. He resides in Shelbyville with his wife, Melanie and sons, Joshua and Nicholas. getting the education they need to move forward. What was your inspiration to become a firefighter? I became a paramedic and was working with firefighters. I saw how much they love the job and thought that was something I would like to do. It’s an honest profession. It’s very family-oriented and that’s something I enjoy. What are your future goals, professionally or personally? Professionally, I’d like to continue to move up in the department, prepare for promotions as they become available. I’d like to continue to do the community education like the CPR program we have. Personally, I’d like to keep providing for my family and being one of those fathers my kids can look up to every day and that my wife enjoys being around. What has been one of your most gratifying moments on the job? Being able to communicate with the people, the citizens. Being able go out and help them when they’re having one of the worst days of their life. A friend of mine, his dad went into cardiac arrest. We were able to get a pulse back on What do you enjoy doing in your off-time? Spending time with my family – watching my boys play soccer, doing things at home with my family, reading books. Photo by Nicole Davis Randall Hadler him and he walked out of the hospital. That was my most memorable moment. What aspect of the job do you find most challenging? Being a newly-promoted lieutenant, I find that the most challenging thing is being the relay person between the upper administration and the guys I work with, making sure needs they have are met and that everyone is O D CEN S E CR ss-times.com • Week of May 7-13, 2015 e t i h W t a What would you have done if you hadn't of became a firefighter?

Near the end of 2014, band members thought they might not have a place to keep their library of music, historical records, instruments and other necessities. Their office space had been donated to them by the City of Greenwood, located in the city center for the past year, and the Polk St. building before that. “When we went in, we knew we’d only be there a short period of time,” said Tom Dirks, conductor. The city needed the space for renters and the band was nearing the deadline of when they needed to vacate. They couldn’t find a place which could properly fit their supplies. “We were worried we’d have to divide our equipment which would be a disaster, or postpone our activities,” said Ora Pemberton, associate conductor. Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers called Chamber Director Christian Maslowski, who led the band to conversations with Community Hospital South. The hospital donated office space to the all-volunteer band, in the offices located just beside the hospital off of County Line Road. “It was a life saver, literally,” Dirks said. “A good band can’t function without a library. This fit our basic needs very well. The space is adequate for us to continue to grow.” The new office space has more space than the band ever expected. The facility is provided free-of-charge, including utilities. City officials helped the band move and organize their supplies from the city building to the hospital offices. The band has an inventory of more than 16,000 selections of music, a copy machine, library supplies, instruments and historical albums with information from its inception to present day. “We were very fortunate,” Pemberton said, adding that they are thankful for the people who helped them in the process.

While Coach Bill Belichick has been exonerated by the report, Brady’s name apparently came up several times during texts between McNally and Jastremski. In a statement, the NFL said it is deliberating “what steps to take in light of the report, both with respect to possible disciplinary action and to any changes in protocols that are necessary to avoid future incidents of this type.” - ABC News 13 Carne Asada LA MARGARITA Avengers: Age of Ultron… a typical Marvel film, nothing more MOVIE REVIEW By Adam Staten If you haven’t heard or seen one of the hundreds of commercials advertising the film, the newest Avengers movie has landed in theaters. There aren't many other film franchises that draw as much fanfare as the Avengers or really the entire lineup of Marvel films. The only other franchises that even come close to the fanaticism of the Marvel films would be the Star Wars and Star Trek films, but even then it’s debatable. However, all you have to do is slap the Marvel logo on a film and it’s guaranteed to make a couple hundred million easy. But is Avengers: Age of Ultron any good? The newest film from Marvel Entertainment begins with the group of crime fighting superheroes in midmission. After saving the world from certain destruction yet again, the group stumbles upon what is perhaps their biggest and deadliest foe to date, Ultron. Ultron is a program initially created by Tony Stark as a peacekeeping initiative. Unfortunately for the Avengers and everyone on Earth, Ultron’s definition of peace involves destroying the planet and those who reside on it. Ultron’s scheme also involves pitting the group of superheroes against one another by bringing to light each of their shortcomings and failures, a tactic that nearly works. In an expected and welcomed change of pace, the story is a tad darker than pervious Marvel films. The villain is more sinister and twisted than the first Avengers film. The story also starts to go into a direction similar to Nolan’s Batman films as it starts to bring up issues of mortality, vigilantism, and other similar issues. However, about a fourth of the way through, the film completely abandons that and dissolves into just yet another Marvel film. The performances are fine for this kind of a film, nothing outstanding, but nothing that leaves you shaking your head in disgust. This time around Hawkeye, The Hulk, and Black Widow take center stage. All three are arguably the three strongest actors out of the group. Thankfully, the dullest characters, Captain America and Thor, almost blend into the background as neither really has much of a storyline here. Avengers: Age of Ultron will undoubtedly go on to make hundreds of millions of dollars and become the highest grossing film of 2015. Even though, it’s better than the first, it’s not by much. It’s a typical Marvel film, fans will be pleased, but it’s nothing special. 2.5 out of 5. Adam Staten lives in Perry Township and is a movie buff.

I love you SOOOOOO much and I am thankful and appreciate everything you do and have done for me. Some of my best memories as a kid were when you read books to me like Snuggle Puppy or Brown Bear, Brown Bear. I also remember you would always do art with me like painting or coloring in my Care Bears coloring book. You also taught me how to do many things such as cooking, spelling my name, counting by 5s and 10s, my multiplication facts and even how to do the monkey bars! I love you SOOOOOO much and I am overjoyed to have a full 24 hours to celebrate just you. You’re the world’s BEST mom and I wouldn’t change a thing about you for the world.

She will always love me no matter what. My mom is my hero. She will love, support and care for me through good times and bad. She stays with me through everything; even though we fight we are still family. Yes, I am adopted but I never seem to think about it because you never want to think about the past—just the present because if you think about the past you could miss the most wonderful moments in your life. And if I could plan the most amazing Mother’s Day for my mom, it would be starting off when she wakes up on her own, because I want her to be energized for the day ahead. I wouldn’t give her breakfast in bed because that’s not too original. When she comes downstairs it will be clean because what mom doesn’t want a house that got cleaned without her asking and without lifting a finger? Then I would make her chocolate chip pancakes with milk. Then we would go to lunch at El Rodeo. Of course you can’t go out to eat and not have dessert, so then we’d make cupcakes with fondant on them even though you’re not really supposed to put fondant on cupcakes, but we’ll break the rules—put those smiley faces on the cupcakes! At night, we’ll put on our pajamas and watch a movie till we go upstairs to our rooms and say goodnight, then go to bed and we will remember this day forever. WINNING ESSAY By Lilyana J.

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP BGHS students connect to careers A new program has been launched at Beech Grove High School. The objectives of the Career Connections - Pathways Exploration Program are: Help students identify and explore career possibilities by utilizing the resources of the Beech Grove Guidance Department, the new College and Career area, the Advisory Board Members of the Applied Life Science – Agricultural Education Program and additional individuals familiar with specific careers. Seventeen students enrolled in the pilot program: eight freshmen, three sophomores and six juniors. Based on the instruction provided by Guidance Counselors, Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Cooley, the students completed three different programs, and each student then identified three possible careers based on their interests and strengths. Students started meeting with professionals this week: Phil Cooley, Law Enforcement; Larry Sernyk, Dow AgroSciences; Greg Bohlander, Indiana Farm Bureau; Rich Witmer - Former Beech Grove Police Chief and currently Director of Security for Franciscan/St. Francis Hospital; Madelyn Walters, Adayana (an agricultural business consulting group); and Frank Mascari, owner of Spalding Jewelry in Beech Grove.

DISPATCHES Fun Facts from National Geographic "The BELUGA, or white whale, is one of the smallest species of whale. Their distinctive color and prominent foreheads make them easily identifiable. Unlike most other whales, the beluga has a very flexible neck that enables it to nod and turn its head in all directions. Belugas generally live together in small groups known as pods. They are social animals and very vocal communicators. They use a diversified language of clicks, whistles, and clangs. Belugas can also copy a variety of other sounds. Belugas feed on fish, crustaceans, and worms. The whale is related to the tusked ‘unicorn’ whale known as the narwhal.

Cunningham named Presidential Scholar Semi-Finalist Roncalli High School senior Matt Cunningham has been selected as a semi-finalist in the 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholars program. From the over 3.3 million seniors graduating this spring in the United States, only 565 semi-finalists (less than 1 percent) have been named. Cunningham is one of only 14 Presidential Scholar semi-finalists from the state of Indiana. Potential Presidential Scholars are identified initially by their SAT or ACT scores and invited to submit their nomination. Cunningham is the son of Greg and Cheryl Cunningham. Southport Armed Forces Cadets (SAFC) is an after-school military program which teaches leadership skills, safety skills, life skills and teaches about all branches of the military. Cadets learn many things, such as how to make a resume, how to prepare for a job interview and navigational skills. If you like to be in charge, there are equal opportunities in SAFC for leadership. The positions within SAFC change with each new semester, giving participants a chance to hone their leadership skills in the different areas. There are currently five different positions that can be held within SAFC. The platoon sergeant is in charge of the whole platoon. The squad leaders are in charge of eight to 10 cadets and are occasionally in charge of activities. Training officers make training schedules, and occasionally lead PT. Chaplains are the ones who students can go to for advice or help with something. Medical officers carry around a medical bag and administers first aid if anyone get hurt. During a typical meeting of the SAFC, cadets do some form of physical training (PT), and learn military knowledge such as the phonetic alphabet, military ranks, and Military 24-hour time. PT can be anything from self-defense training to a game of capture the flag to PT relay races. In SAFC, you can take Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. CERT is training to be a responder to natural or man-made disasters. Have you seen the Color and Honor Guard at sporting events or other events around the Southport area and thought, “Wow! That looks cool!” SAFC performs Color and Honor guard at sporting events and special events around the Southport area. For those who like action, there are combative exercises where cadets learn how to defend themselves. For those who are fans of bullet-wielding weaponry, SAFC teaches you about firearms and teaches you how to use them safely and properly. There are even trips to gun ranges such as Camp Atterbury to practice shooting and to learn Southport Armed Forces Cadets proper gun-handling techniques. Being apart of SAFC provides benefits for your future. Whether you plan to join a branch of military or work in the private sector, having had military leadership training provided by SAFC will help you no matter what career you choose as well as in many aspects of life. So long as you are age twelve to high school age, you can join! SAFC is open to anyone in the Southern Marion- Northern Johnson County area and meets weekly at Southport High School from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. If you attend SHS or another local school and are interested in SAFC, send an inquiry to [email protected]. 24 Week of May 7-13, 2015 • ss-times.com Focus on FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP IFD to host Open House at Franklin Township station The Indianapolis Fire Department will open its doors on May 9, 1 – 4 p.m., as part of a neighborhood open house.

The Southside Times Cauliflower: Veggie of the year NUTRITION By Chef Wendell Fowler Mark Twain said cauliflower is nothing but a cabbage with a college education. Kale came, conquered, and found a home in American’s crisper-drawers. It appears, however, crunchy white cauliflower is gaining ground. We’re warned not to eat white food, but hold on. Responsible nutritionists are referring to processed junk food, sugar, AP flour, white rice and sausage gravy, but not cauliflower. There’s wonderful health news regarding the predictable veggie tray standard. The large white flower is a member of cruciferous vegetable family of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, cabbage, watercress, collards and bok choy. Cruciferous vegetables hold vitamins, minerals, other nutrients and plant chemicals called glucosinolates that break down into biologicallyactive compounds being studied for possible anticancer effects. BTW: The heavy green leaves that surround the head protect the flower buds from sunlight. The lack of sunlight does not allow chlorophyll to develop. Therefore, color is not produced. Cauliflower brims with dietary fiber, crucial for good digestion. When you get enough fiber things, ahem, move smoothly, like roto-rooter through your temple’s intestines. Cauliflower also contains glucoraphin, which protects your stomach and innards from cancer and ulcers. The omega-3 and vitamin K in cauliflower helps prevent chronic inflammation that leads to arthritis, chronic pain, and certain bowel condi- tions. In addition to folate, cauliflower is loaded with niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and thiamine. Cauliflower is low in sodium but delivers a good amount of potassium too. A 1/2-cup measure of cooked cauliflower contains 27.5 milligrams of ascorbic acid, more commonly known as vitamin C, nearly 50 percent of the daily recommended intake. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce levels of snarky chemicals accumulating within your temple that damage cells within tissues. Cauliflower can be served cooked or raw. Raw has considerably more nutrition. Peel off stem leaves, turn cauliflower upside down. Cut the stem just above where the florets join together. Separate the florets into equal bite size pieces. Turned off by the sulfur smell? Quickly steaming cauliflower reduces the sulfur smell, preserves crispness and color and reduces the loss of nutrients. When wrapped, cauliflower will keep for up to five days in your crisper drawer. Much of society is reconnecting with earth. When all men, women, and children accept that foods born from the heavenly apothecary, not a chemistry lab, are the best vitamins on earth, disease and suffering will cease. You weren’t born to hate veggies, you were taught. You were created to express perfect health. Reconnect. Chef Wendell Fowler is a nutritionist and motivational presenter.

LIFESTYLE The Southside Times ‘Flout’ or ‘flaunt?’ GRAMMAR GUY By Jordan Fischer Here’s a question for you: When you’re late to work, and you’re flying down the road 15 miles an hour over the speed limit, are you “flouting” the law, or “flaunting” it? The issue at hand is a case of mistaken identity. “Flout” and “flaunt” have different meanings, but similar connotations. Over the years that has lead to some confusion. The band geeks out there are probably already aware that “flout” comes from the Middle English word flouten, meaning to play the flute (you knew that, right?). It means “to break or ignore (a law, rule, etc.) without hiding what you are doing or showing fear or shame,” and originated from flute players’ tendencies toward reckless, barefaced criminality. (Some of that might not be historically accurate.) “Flaunt,” on the other hand, means “to show something in a very open way so that other people will notice.” You see where the confusion could arise, yes? “Flaunt” is sometimes used to mean “to treat contemptuously,” but it’s a non-standard usage. And, frankly, it’s wrong. This is one we can keep simple, thankfully: “Flaunt” means to display ostentatiously, and “flout” means to openly disregard the rules. Peacocks flaunt, while jail birds flout. We’ll leave what flutists do for another day. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for The Southside Times.

The new suites redesigned with new color schemes include private showers, microwaves and refrigerators, and a state-of-the-art therapy gym. The Altenheim has been part of the Indianapolis Southside community for more than 100 years and with CarDon and Associates since 2010. Kent Rodgers, CarDon and Associates Chief Financial Officer said during prior to the April 30 ribbon cutting with the Greater Beech Grove Chamber of Commerce that the changes were in line with changing generational expectations of care. “When we came into the community we had visions of this. It took us a little while to get there but we are excited about the service we can provide to the residents here in the area as private rooms are expected nowadays. We are glad to provide the rehab patients with a room that looks like a hospital room or better that they came from, the hospitality feel of a hotel setting,” said Rodgers. 27 Rolls: • 1 1/3 cups warm milk (105°F) • 2 packages (1/4-ounce each) active dry yeast • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened • 2 egg yolks • 1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting Filling: • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened • 1/3 cup granulated sugar • 2 tablespoons bread flour • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Glaze: • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter • 1/2 cup lightly-packed light brown sugar • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream • 1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (about 1/4 pound) familyfeatures.com For rolls, stir together warm milk, yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in large bowl.

I wonder, if Jim ever bought me some new clothes, could they be “written off ” as a “business expense”? By Paul Kirby "Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again." ~ Mark 10:33-34 Ours is a purposeful life. God has us all here for His purpose. Romans 8:28 says that all things come together for the good of those who are here to fulfill God's purpose in their lives because they love Him. (And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.) Some people think that they are here to take up space and breathe the air. I realize that some seem to have a greater purpose than others but in God's mind none do. Whatever my purpose is in God's domain, I am willing to serve in that capacity content and full of holy joy. Jesus had a purpose. All of His life was a journey to that purpose. Even before the world was created and put into place in this solar system, God knew He would send Jesus into this world to die for the sins of mankind. Jesus knew before He came what an ordeal this life would be for Him. We miss this sometimes when we read about Jesus. We forget that He is the perfect image of the Father and that He is God revealing Himself to us all the way to the cross and the death of the physical body in which He lived. God has a greater purpose for you than merely being here. We are all here to be His children, His servants, His eyes, His hands, His feet, and being all of these things we are His agents of love and mercy. May we, like Jesus, determine to live to the goal that God has set for our lives. Some will have great wealth, others great health, and others great fame and well-known names. Then, others of us will just be the average "Joe" just being Sisters of St. Benedict celebrate new garden FEATURE By Brian Ruckle faithful to God to the end. If we are faithful to the end there is a crown of glory waiting for us in eternity and a place around the altar of God. We will join those whose names are so well known in the chorus of praise that the angels cannot sing. We will sing the salvation song that man cannot write but which God's Spirit has written in our hearts. Hallelujah and amen! God bless and go and have a great day. The Sisters of St. Benedict took paradise back from a parking lot and replaced it with a meditative garden for the whole community to enjoy. On Wednesday, April 29 the Sisters, community leaders, and supporters who helped celebrated and blessed The Peace and Nature Garden at the Benedict Inn at 1402 Southern Ave. in Beech Grove. The Beech Grove Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting and Sister Carol Falkner blessed the land. The space opened up after the decision in 2012 to raze the community center which had become difficult to maintain. Sister Sheila Marie Fitzpatrick, director of facilities and project manager for the project, said the parking serving the community center was removed and moved closer to the other building on the property. “That left us with a large space that had been a parking lot for 40 years and we felt like we had to do something,” Fitzpatrick said. “We decided we wanted something that would be a meditative space that would be accessible to all so folks in wheelchairs, walkers, could also take part in it,” she said. The Sisters teamed up with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB), Roncalli High School, St. Roch Catholic School, The Life Academy, The Benedictine Oblates of Our Lady of Grace Monastery, Beech Grove High School and many others. KIB brought other groups to help including employees from Eli Lilly and Company and even a Muslim youth group. The project started July 2013 and in April 2015. “It was amazing how many people came to support the project. I estimate over 500 volunteers,” Fitzpatrick said. Paul A.
