REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! www.GetMeRegistered.com/BaxterYMCA The Sylvia Likens murder haunts me. It has for years. The 1965 carnage of a young girl in the inner city of Indianapolis continues to swirl in this writer's brain as to how something like this could Sylvia Likens ever happen. In today's times it appears to happen more often. We have become a savage society, watching the news and then returning back about our lives. Yet, 51 years later, her story continues to have an impact. These things didn't happen back then! Yet they did, hidden in a cloak of silence and swept under the rug. Sylvia's parents (with a tumultuous relationship all their own) were carnival workers traveling the circuit. Arrangements were made to board their two girls, Sylvia and Jenny, with Gertrude Baniszewski and her herd of children in the neighborhood surrounding 3850 E. New York St. It was the summer and fall months of 1965. Downtown Indianapolis was visible just to the west as this purported time of innocence played out. The lyrics of Diana Ross & the Supremes' Stop in the Name of Love lazily rolled out of the opened windows of vehicles, on their way to whatever was happening in 1965, passing the large white double without as much as a sideways glance. Who could have known what was happening inside? And... the Mister Softee melody reverberated across the narrow confines of Denny Street, just off of New York, as the lumbering blue and white ice cream truck made its daily rounds, keeping the kids of the inner city happy. The large home became a sanctuary at first, but evolved into a prison for Sylvia and Jenny as the warm summer months eased into fall. A house does not necessarily define a person's life, but, can it define their death?

The scene of the crime-3850 East New York Streetshortly before it was bulldozed to the ground. A new look to New York Street and an end to a memory. Above photos by Rick Hinton Paula Baniszewski Photo Public Domain Does a now empty lot bring recognition to an injustice done so many years ago? The years have moved on since the demolition of the home in April of 2009—43 years after one of the most horrific crimes rocked the Circle City—effectively silencing the city's painful reminder of abuse and the destruction of a 16 year old girl. Many felt that the house stood far too long. The neighborhood has forgotten its infamous former resident, appearing briefly for a speck of time and then gone. The author was an inner city kid and grew up in the same time stamp as Sylvia, separated by just a few miles. Little has changed on this stretch of New York Street since that time. Was the house haunted? Yes, it was... Rick Hinton, a Southport resident, loves researching things that go bump in the night.

She’s on a mission right now to gather public opinion on how to make the state of Indiana even more transparent. Crouch is responsible for the creation of Indiana’s Transparency Portal, in.gov/itp, beginning in 2011. She was elected auditor in 2014. The Website has tons of information for Indiana residents, including budgets, revenues, employee salaries and state contracts. Last year, the site had 163,000 views – more than half of which were looking at employee salaries. Indiana’s portal has been named in the top three in the country for being transparent. That’s not bad, but Crouch says she wants to do better. “It’s a two-fold process,” she said. “We have to make the site more user-friendly and we have to figure out how to make the public more aware and get them engaged. Our government is going to be better when it is.” Have a suggestion or question? Go to in.gov/itp/2365.htm to submit feedback. We applaud the efforts of Auditor Crouch and people like her who are working to our great state even better. Let’s make it to number one! BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you… In Tennessee, it is a crime to share your Netflix password.

Marylynne Winslow of Southport and Chad Mertz of Greenwood contributed to this week's Stars and Strikes. Star:To the Freedom Springs Greenwood Aquatic Park for the many changes being made to make the water park even better during its second year of operation. The Greenwood Parks Department responded to feedback from visitors by adding a second gate to alleviate lines, building an additional shelter house and extending daily hours. The park opens May 28! Star: To the owners of the Marathon gas station on the Southeast corner of Edgewood and Madison Avenues for the beautiful red roses. I find myself hoping I get a red light so that I can enjoy the beauty! Star: To the Southport High School Girls 4 x 800 M Relay team which qualified for the State Meet coming up at IU. In doing so they also broke the Southport High School record with a new record time of 2:29.14. Congrats, Cardinals! Strike: To the individual or individuals who exhibited hatred when placing a "No more Chin" sign at a Southport home. Many of our Chin neighbors have studied extensively and are now naturalized citizens with delightful children who will one day excel and be good citizens and academic leaders in our school system. Strike: To the man who attempted to abduct a 4-year-old boy in the 2300 block of Harness Way early Tuesday, May 25. The man reportedly attempted to coax the boy into a pickup truck with the promise of candy. Star to the boy's 9-year-old sister who acted quickly and retrieved her brother before he entered the vehicle. Star: To all the young entrepreneurs who set up lemonade stands on May 21 in celebration of National Lemonade Day! It was great to see so many children in the Southside working hard, and donating part or all of their proceeds to benefit great causes such as Susan G. Komen, Southside Animal Shelter and even to help with a friend’s kidney transplant. 9. "I heard a loud boom. Did Dad fall out of bed again?" 8.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” ~ George Orwell COMMUNITY The Southside Times ss-times.com • Week of May 26 – June 1, 2016 5 Eric Gundle Sergeant is inspired by professionalism demonstrated at Marion County Sheriff’s Office BEHIND the BADGE Compiled by Nicole Davis Sgt. Eric Gundle came to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in 2008. Having lived in Marion County since his teenage years, he said he had many positive interactions with the deputies, representing their professionalism, and he decided, eventually, that’s where he wanted to be. Gundle was born in Louisville, Ky., moving to Indianapolis-area at 14. He graduated from Indiana University, majoring in criminal justice and minoring in sociology. He went through IU’s cadet program and attended the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy before going to work for IU Police and later, Lawrence Police. He took a break from law enforcement and went to work for Airborne Express/DHL. A Franklin Township resident, he now works serving civil and criminal warrants in Marion County. Photo by Nicole Davis What was your inspiration to become a police officer? Growing up, every little kid wants to be a policeman or fireman. That never changed for me. I’m the first one in my family to become a member of law enforcement. What do you enjoy doing in your off-time? Spending time with family, shooting guns, reloading ammunition, spending time outdoors, with motorcycles and cars. What has been one of your most gratifying moments on the job? The most gratifying moment has been becoming a field training officer and sergeant. As an older officer I get to mentor some of the younger guys and make decisions. What aspect of the job do you find most challenging? Trying to change the public’s negative views of law enforcement, get them to see we’re human, too, and we’re there to help them. HOW DO YOU EAT AN ELEPHANT? Sgt. Eric Gundle. What are your future goals, professionally or personally? To remain a member of Marion County Sheriff’s Office and continue in the ranks. What would you have done if you hadn't become a police officer? I wouldn’t become a veterinarian. I’ve always enjoyed animals and that was a possibility.

Anyone can stumble and fall in the bathroom but the elderly, who often have poor muscle strength and balance, are more susceptible to such a fall. Besides a total renovation of the bathroom, there are many less expensive options available to proactively alleviate the dangers of the bathroom. • Grab bars are inexpensive and can be installed by a handyman. Be sure they are securely installed into the studs of the walls. Grab bars can be mounted inside the shower as well as near the toilet wall for security. • Toilet safety frames easily mount to your existing toilet and have adjustable arms and height for added assistance in stability. • Tub cut outs can be performed on your bath tub, this adds a step in accessibility to your existing tub. This should be performed by a trained professional. • Shower chairs can provide stability for an elder with difficulty balancing and a rest place for those who have difficulty standing for long periods of time. • A bath transfer bench eliminates the problem of stepping in/out of the tub. The elder lift their legs over the side of the tub instead. The individual gets in safely by sitting down on the bench outside the tub, then sliding over safely into the tub. The bath bench is often used with a hand-held shower, allowing the elder to remain seated while bathing. • If sitting down on a low toilet is a problem or painful, consider a toilet riser. Risers from 3.5 to 4 inches are easily installed on your existing bowl and models with attached handles are available. Access Mobility has trained personnel who can assist you in finding solutions for your bathroom safety concerns.

If these four words don’t convince you, these four patients might. To everyone at Community the four words “Exceptional care. Simply delivered.” isn’t just a slogan. It’s our signature. It’s the reason we get up early and go home late. It’s more than the way we work. It’s the very reason we come to work. And we think it shows. But don’t just take our word for it. Take theirs. Robert D. We all have our own story about Community. When my daughter had cancer, their connection to MD Anderson Cancer Network® said it all. They brought the expertise right to us. If you or a loved one ever has cancer, you’re gonna be so grateful there’s a place nearby like Community Health Network. When nothing seems to add up, they take the guesswork out of the equation. Their credentials and confidence are just what you need. They are your fog lamps. The breast care navigation process at Community makes things very simple. It’s the most thoughtful and helpful service you could think of. Desiree F. My days are a whirlwind. With Community’s MyChart, I keep track of everything. For me, my husband, my two boys and soon, my parents. I can renew prescriptions, schedule appointments and get test results right from my phone. Community’s taken what used to be a hassle and made it extremely simple. I feel like I’m always on top of things thanks to their easy-to-use app. Ray W. Because of my chronic illness I have an entire team on my side. Doctors. Dietitians. Pharmacists. You name it and I’ve got one. Community even helps with insurance and billing. And if they can make that easy, that’s really saying something. Trust me, they’re rock stars. Debbie B. I have many health issues but Community has a knack for making things easy for me. Whether it’s getting my tests scheduled, keeping an eye on my numbers, encouraging me to do my health goals or checking for drug interactions, they’re always there. They just provide peace of mind. I truly feel that each doctor, technician and nurse are on the same page. They provide exceptional care.

Bottom, right: Donations were made during the ball game and presented to the Lions Club of Southport Inc. at the end of the day. From left, Darnell Booker, Chief Thomas Vaughn, Lion member Bob Roe, Indy Edge Coach Jerry Windell and Lion President AJ Johnson. Photos by Nicole Davis Being blindfolded added a new challenge to the game of baseball as Southport Police officers stood at the base, bat in hand, ready to try and hit the ball as it beeped past them. Southport Police Department competed against Indy Edge and Indy Thunder in Beep Baseball on May 21, sponsored by the Lions Club of Southport Inc. Beep Baseball is a game designed for those who are blind and visually impaired. All participants wear blindfolds to put them on equal playing grounds. The ball beeps, and the bases buzz when it's time to run to them. “We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Lions and the police department,” said Indy Edge Coach Jerry Windell. “Any information that we can provide to the community as far as what we do is nothing but good. We’re happy to show different people in the community our game and hopefully that will lead to other people being involved.” Indy Edge and Indy Thunder both won against the police officers, but the event wasn’t truly about the victory. The event was to raise awareness to the sport with some friendly competition between the police and professionals. Donations were accepted to be used to send the teams to the World Series games in July. It was announced at the end of the day that enough money was raised to give each team $210.

SPECIAL SECTION published by Times-Leader Publications, LLC 170 N. Madison Ave. • Greenwood, IN 46142 #10 TONY KANAAN #15 GRAHAM RAHAL #6 JR HILDEBRAND 14 face to face "One of my most vivid memories of the Indy 500 was sitting in the stands for qualifying with my family in 1992, with Tom Carnegie calling the timing when Roberto Guerrero's made his track record pole run. Roberto was turning 232 mph average speed qualifying laps and we heard Tom Carnegie's golden voice call out "It's a new track record" not once but multiple times that day. It still gives me chills when I hear recordings of him saying those famous words." John Ausbrooks, Franklin Township "One of the memories was when the Unser boy, Al Unser, won it for the first time in 1970. Also, I was there when Eddie Sachs lost his life in the big inferno wreck. Also, my dad came up from West Virginia and he really liked it. He said ‘we’ve got to keep coming to this.’ I told him, ‘Dad if you are around I’ll bring you.’ He passed away the next year. That is one of my memories— him liking the race." The Southside Times 100th RUNNING – BIG RACE 2016 Week of May 26 – June 1, 2016 • ss-times.com Q: This is a special anniversary year for the Indianapolis 500. What Indy 500 memory is most salient? "When I get together with my dad, my uncles and extended family. Going to the race, setting up, tailgating, cooking out. It is just a time of year that we get together as family. We sit in the stands and watch the race but I would say I most enjoy the time before and after and just being able to spend time with my family. Today everybody is so busy with everything it can be hard to get together." Ashley McClure of Greenwood "My first time was 1964. My uncle took me and my cousin to the race. We saw a big puff of black smoke and that was when Dave MacDonald and Eddie Sachs got killed in that wreck. A lot of smoke and disarray. Probably a more exciting time was when Al Unser won the race. In 1985, Danny Sullivan spun right in front of us and he came back and won the race. I go every year. I’ve gone every year since 1964. I haven’t missed one. In fact, the guy I go with has gone to every race since 1946— 70 years." Deb Yost of Franklin Township "When I was 12 years old, I walked from the Eastside of Indianapolis to the Motor Speedway. I didn’t have a ticket. It was the first time I wanted to go. When I got there, I didn’t have money to buy a ticket so they let me in for free. I found some of my friends. We ran around together and enjoyed the race. That’s when Mario Andretti won."

Chris Jockish of Center Grove "My most memorable Indy 500 was when Danica Patrick was leading the race until the last 10 laps. I thought this made tremendous strides for women in general. I’ve been to many races, watched Lyn St. James, and watched Sarah Fisher, and I was really pulling for her. I thought ‘this was it.’ I was really pulling for her." Jerry Melvin of Perry Township "I was a yellow shirt for years. We would have to be there at 4 in the morning and ‘the bomb’ would go off at 5, when all the gates opened at the same time. At that time, the Speedway was still like the Wild, Wild West. You would come in from the tunnel and immediately turn into the infield to go to the third turn. On dry years, they’d be driving in. The people in the back of the line would have passengers get out and run through, trying to stake a spot along the fence. You’d have this billowing cloud, see people appear and disappear with cars going past them. In all the years I worked there, I never saw anyone get hit by a car. The safety patrollers would just throw the gates up and run for their lives, trying to get out of the way. We were in the stands watching all of this, very glad there were two sets of fences and a race track in between us and them."

Laura Barnard of Greenwood "I’ve been to one. It was way back in the 70s. We were still in the habit. Back then the race took longer than it does today. We packed enough food, like we were going away for the weekend. We parked much farther than we thought. We’re dragging these coolers and all the way, people are yelling at us, ‘What’s in the cooler, Sisters?’ It was a great time, but I’ve never had the occasion to go back. It’s a great thing for Indianapolis – Hoosier hospitality at its best." Sister Mary Luke Jones, Beech Grove "I’ve never been to the race but I’ve always enjoyed the qualifications, in the mid to upper 60s. I took my children to the parade one year and they ran out to get Mario Andretti’s autograph. I still have it. He was so gracious." Dot Mackey, Perry Township 100th RUNNING – BIG RACE 2016 k c a r t t h g i r e h t n O By Nicole Davis ss-times.com • Week of May 26 – June 1, 2016 15 Ron Pottorf goes from walking to Speedway as a child to working at the track after retirement Growing up on the Westside of Indianapolis, Ron Pottorf began walking to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as a young teenager. It took about 15 to 20 minutes. Back when 16th Street was two lanes, he’d walk by himself, stand along a bridge and watch the cars circling around the track. “I’d stand on that bridge and watch the Midget races all night; they ran the night before the 500,” he said. The track was just part of life for him then, as it was for many in Indianapolis in the 1950s. “I worked out there in 1955, still in high school, just for the month of May doing clean-up,” he said. “The morning of the race, we had to walk to the start of the track to the finish line and walk side by side with a bucket picking up rocks.” Pottorf ’s family moved to California in 1956 where he completed his senior year of high school. They moved back to Indianapolis, and Pottorf came to live on the Southside of Indianapolis in 1964. Pottorf had an interest in all types of racing – from IndyCar to Nascar – and has been to many tracks across the U.S. Growing up near the Speedway sparked that interest that continued into his adult life. “After I came back from California I was a yellow shirt,” he said. “It was during a practice session before the first Brickyard. They had a regulation that no one was supposed to stand down on turn one and watch anybody. Someone told me to go down and escort this person out of there. I said no because it’s A. J. Foyt.” Pottorf ’s son is even named after Foyt – Anthony Joseph – a driver he enjoyed watching. “It was 1966 on the first lap they had a tremendous crash on the first lap,” he said. “There were several cars involved. I was sitting in the Tower Terrace area behind the pits, inside the track on the main straightaway. A. J. Foyt was involved in the accident. He hopped out of his car and started climbing the fence to get out of the way from all of the cars flying down through there. I could see it. I saw the accident from the start.” Pottorf retired from Link-Belt Bearings in July of 2001 and went to work, seasonally, for the Speedway in August that same year. He worked as a “yellow shirt” again for four years. Though he admits, the last few years he’s strayed away from the sport, as it doesn’t seem quite the same to Ron Potroff holds his Indy 500 record by Sid Collins, ‘The Voice of the him as it did in his younger days when he’s walk Indianapolis 500,’ one of Pottroff’s most loved racing memorabilia.

Mon - Fri: 9am-6pm Sat: 9am-5pm Sun: Closed 4001 Carson Ave. • Indianapolis, IN 46227 By Nicole Davis The Southside Times Robert Dicks will join the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the Vintage Car show with his replica Willard Battery Agajanian Special Robert Dicks has loved racing since his childhood years, when his father would take him to the track to watch the sprint car races. At age 16, he watched as drivers who would later become racing legends competed against one another. One particular driver caught his attention. Rufus Parnel "Parnelli" Jones dominated the Sprint Car circuit from 1960 through ’62. He drove in his first Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in ’61, driving the same car through ’64. He won the 500 in 1963. Dicks will celebrate the 100th running of the Indy 500 with the honor of being able to take his replica of Jones’ racecar, the No. 98 Agajanian Willard Battery Special, which won that 1963 race to the IMS track. “This car in 1962 was the first car to officially run a one in four lap average of 150 mph,” Dicks said. “That was a benchmark and it remains a benchmark.” The vintage cars will run three separate sessions beginning May 26 before this year’s 500. Dicks will drive his car around the track May 26, 2:30 to 4 p.m.; May 27, 8 to 9 a.m.; and May 28, 9 to 10 a.m. Dicks, a Greenwood resident, is a family practice physician. During his time at Indiana University School of Medicine, he was able to attend the race track and work the hospital and ambulance while getting to spend some time enjoying the IMS festivities. He’s been going to the 500 since 1950, sitting in the same seats for 46 years since they built the grandstand. He’s a member of the 500 Oldtimers club, for drivers, mechanics and people who have a longtime relationship with the Speedway. About 10 years ago, he met a man named Tom Mc- Robert Dicks with his No. 98 Agajanian Willard Battery Special, the replica car Griff who built replica race cars. Dicks told him he was signed by Parnelli Jones, Indianapolis 500 champion. Photo by Nicole Davis interested in building the Fike Plumbing Special, the sprint car which Jones made famous in the ‘60s. He later had the Agajanian Willard Battery Special constructed, with everything from the decals to the tires like the original car. Dicks owns one of three replicas; Jones and the Agajanian family have the others. “The first time I met Parnelli, I called him at the Speedway Motel which has been torn down,” Dicks said. “I left a message. Within 15 minutes he calls me back. I tell him what about the car. He said I’ll have breakfast at the Speedway Motel tomorrow. Meet me at 9 o’clock in the parking lot. That’s when I got to know him. He sat in the car and we talked about the sprint car.” Since that first encounter, Dicks and Jones have become friends. Dicks, driving the replica, followed Jones, driving the original car, around the Speedway in 2014 when Jones was selected as the grand marshal. “As a 16-year-old, I watched him, Foyt and Andretti run,” Dicks said. “To reproduce his cars, watch him accept the cars and appreciate the legacy that they represented was the thrill of a lifetime. To become friends with him and be able to call him on his cell phone and talk to him any time I want to is a thrill.” Since the racing season starts in April, Dicks has already taken the car to the Anderson Speedway, Salem, Winchester, Terre Haute, Raceway Park and numerous other tracks. Having the opportunity to join the vintage cars at the IMS track, though, is something he looks forward to. “It’s a real honor,” he said. “They haven’t accepted replicas in the past, except if you were a special participant in the 500 like A.J. Watson. The speedway has not been accepting of replicas, or what they call tribute cars. I ran with Parnelli and Parnelli has accepted the car. It’s been around eight years. It’s a chassis-correct car. I think that’s why they’re receptive to it. It does represent a significant period in the history of the Speedway.” 100th RUNNING – BIG RACE 2016 MAIN STREET AUTO TECH 2636 S.

Of those 33 women chosen to serve as princesses this year, four are graduates of Center Grove High School: Jessi Arbuckle, Elyse Hoy, Morgan Lee and Nilofer Rajpurkar. The Indianapolis 500, an Indy Car race which takes place the last weekend of May, celebrates its 100th running this year. Each princess receives a $1,000 scholarship is expected to participate in the 500 Festival’s statewide community outreach programs, volunteer at the festival events and participate in Indianapolis Motor Speedway functions. The princesses will all march in the IPL 500 Festival Parade on May 28. “The month of May in Indiana comes around every year,” Rajpurkar said. “It’s easy to think this is just another thing we do every year but it’s really a spectacular thing we do every year. It’s a time for the whole state to come together. It’s allowed me to get in touch with what being a Hoosier really means.” Jessi Arbuckle Jessi Arbuckle has always enjoyed race day celebrations during the Indy 500, but had never been to the track until she was accepted into the Princess Program this year. “Race day everything kind of stops in Greenwood,” she said. “Everyone is by the pool, with the radio on or eating good food. I have been aware of the Princess Program for years because I’ve been so close to Indianapolis. I thought this year would be a good year to be a part of it with the 100th running. It’s going to be one of the coolest things in Indianapolis.” Arbuckle is a 2013 graduate of Center Grove High School. She attends Taylor University, majoring in public relations and minoring in management. She is on the volleyball team as president-elect and is a member of the Public Relations Student Society of America. Arbuckle said she’s the parade and race day are what she’s looking forward to most during the 500 festivities. “The race, I’ve heard stories but I’ve never been myself,” she said. “I think it will be beautiful with the cars and the huge crowd. I think I’ll have the best seat in the house.” Elyse Hoy The Indy 500 and its celebrations have been a tradition for Elyse Hoy and her family for generations. “I remember seeing the princess float, seeing the princesses on it and said, ‘I will be one of those princesses,’” she said. “As soon as I turned 18, The Southside Times 100th RUNNING – BIG RACE 2016 Four Center Grove graduates celebrate the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 as 500 Festival princesses I said I would apply. I was so excited when I was accepted.” Hoy was adopted from China at 9 months old, coming to live in Greenwood. A 2014 graduate from Center Grove High School, she was a cheerleader for all four years. She now attends Franklin College, majoring in biology. She plans to attend medical school and said aims to become an orthopedic surgeon. This year, Hoy will watch the race with the other princesses. “It’s all about the tradition for me,” she said. “My family is big race fans family. This is an event that has been going on now for 100 years. The things you see during the race have basically stayed the same. Every year they change things a little to make it interesting for everyone, but the underlying scene is the same and that’s important to me. Indy Car racing is a huge part of our state’s history. It’s the thing that makes Indiana stand out from the other states.” Lee was one of two of the 500 Festival princesses who ran the marathon, sporting a 500 Festival Princess sash, while other princesses volunteered during the event. Lee grew up in Greenwood, moving to the Center Grove area in third grade, graduating in 2013. She now attends Indiana Wesleyan, pursing a degree in nursing. Lee said she knew about the princess program while she was growing up, attending the parade a couple times when she was younger. When she read about the program’s values, she said it paralleled her own so she applied. “It was a surreal moment when I (was accepted) because I knew that they were going from a big number to selecting only 33,” she said. “It’s developed into such an honor and a privilege to be part of such a prestigious program. It’s one of the biggest honors and titles and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.” Morgan Lee The idea of dressing in pink with a shiny tiara – at first the 500 Festival princess program didn’t sound like something that would be of interest to Nilofer Rajpurkar. After reading into it, however, she said she was excited to apply for the program that focuses on outreach and community service. “I’ve used this platform as a way to be involved in things I’m passionate about,” she said. “I’m passionate about getting young girls into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields and coding. I’ve gotten to work with a Girls That Code club, work with them and shatter the stereotype of things that come with STEM. You can be a princess in pink and still be in STEM.” Rajpurkar came to the Center Grove area in 5th grade. A 2013 graduate, she was in the marching band and indoor percussion unit, a drum major at Center Grove High School in her junior year, president of the student government, and was part of the dance marathon that began during her time at the school. She attends Purdue University, pursing a major in biomedical engineering. After graduation, she hopes to work in the tech field to apply her degree and eventually return to school for a Master of Business Administration. As she ran the One America Mini Marathon on May 7, Morgan Lee said she almost forgot she was running. Finishing in an hour and 47, averaging 8.10 to 8.13 minutes per mile, she said it was one of the most enjoyable races she’s completed.

WHERE I DINE Heather Simpson, owner of Circle City Web Design Where do you like to dine? One of my favorite places to eat in Franklin Township is the New Bethel Ordinary. What do you like to eat there? Everything they make is good! My favorite thing to order is their pizza. I really like to get sausage, onions, green peppers and olives. They really pile on the toppings and add just the right amount of cheese. What do you like about this place? I enjoy the small town atmosphere. Everyone who works there is welcoming and helpful.

Compiled by Brian Ruckle The Southside Times NIGHT & DAY Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising… don’t rush to this one MOVIE REVIEW By Adam Staten While it’s been said good fences make good neighbors, most would likely disagree with this isolationist and somewhat hostile sentiment. Putting up barriers between one another would make cultivating relationships difficult, if not impossible. However, if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of living near or next to a sorority or fraternity house, fences aren’t likely to accomplish much. The only sane fix to that dire situation would to employ the services of a relator and move as quickly as possible. And this is where a young, yuppie couple find themselves… again in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is the sequel to 2014’s box office smash Neighbors. However, instead of fighting off the hijinks and pranks of a fraternity living next door, Mac and Kelly Radner (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne), are matched up against, you guessed it, a sorority. As the film opens, Mac and Kelly realize another bundle of joy is on the way. Feeling their current pad isn’t adequate enough to handle their coming addition, they list with a relator and put their house on the market. Soon after hitting the market, they receive an offer and accept. Unfortunately for the Radners there is one big catch, their house is in escrow and the potential buyers have 30 days to come over without notice, perform inspections and if they feel so inclined, back out at anytime. Things only go downhill after this. The Radners have already purchased another house Calendar continued from page 22 Literary Tour of England Information Session • Adults: Immerse in British literature and culture with this 10-day tour of England.

The neighborly relationship between the Radners and the girls next door begins innocently and cordially enough, a handshake and a friendly wave here and there. How bad can girls be, right? A lot, apparently. After Teddy (Zac Efron) switches alliances in the prank war and a battle of wills from the girls to the old people, things kick into high gear. As far as the story goes, the sequel is essentially a carbon copy of the first, but with a sorority substituted in place of the fraternity. In an attempt to help differentiate it from the first film, much more time is spent with characters in the sorority, an overt pro-feminism message is added, and characters from the first are revisited. Try as it might, the story feels tired, old, worn out and really lazy. While the first seemed to produce laughs at a rapid-fire pace, the sequel fails to do so. There are a few funny scenes and jokes, but they are way too few and far between. Even a few of the jokes are recycled from the first film, specifically the airbag gag. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising was not needed. Not since The Hangover Part II has a sequel ripped itself off as much and been as unnecessary. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising… 2.5 out of 5.

I’m saddened. For the second humiliating year in a row, Indiana has been awarded the dubious honor as the unhealthiest state in America, according to The American College of Sports Medicine. Do stubborn Hoosiers have a death wish, can’t read or simply don’t love themselves enough to end the suffering? You’re making me look bad! It’s proven: diet has everything to do with your current health; you control your health destiny. With each bite of food you place into the beautiful temple, the flesh swaddling your soul, you’re either inflagrating or extinguishing the fires of health-threatening inflammation. With each bite of food, you either create or fertilize disease. If you occasionally forget your spouse’s name, suffer from pain, obesity, ADD/ADHD, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, migraines, thyroid issues, dental issues, or cancer-your innards are on fire. The fires of internal inflammation: the temple's attempt at self-defense; the aim being to remove harmful stimuli (crappy food and chemicals), including damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens - and begin the healing process. Apparently only a few folks know this, but countless studies demonstrate the medicinal benefits of amazing, potent, ancient turmeric that has exploded onto the American “Let food by thy medicine” scene. It’s no wonder really, as the bright orange spice has serious anti-inflammatory properties. Many awakened doctors call it a miracle spice. I recall watching grandma use it as spice in her butter pickles. Turmeric is what makes mustard and cheddar cheese yellow. You’ve eaten it in yellow rice and Indian Curries. Why does America have four times the rates of Alzheimer’s than India? They eat a lot of turmeric; one of the key ingredients in curries and dal. Use turmeric to make yellow rice. A little on the earthy side, it plays a role similar to saffron, adding color to a dish, but not the same flavor. If you have a recipe that uses saffron but don't have any on hand, use a small amount of peeled and grated fresh turmeric as a substitute. Mixing it with a healthy fat such as coconut oil and a smidge of black pepper skyrockets turmeric’s bioavailability. Turmeric makes an excellent beverage: “Golden Tea”-1 cup coconut or almond milk, 1 tsp. each turmeric and cinnamon. 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger, pinch Are You Having a GARAGE SALE? has you covered! • Ads as low as $10.50 • $11 for the first 4 lines • Additional lines only $1 each (317) 300-8782 or visit ss-times.com Deadline is Tuesday by noon for print on Thursday of each week.

What a beautiful word that describes best Who the Holy Spirit is and what His ministry in us is meant to be. The Holy Ghost (Sprit) is the Holy Pneuma. He is the "breath" of God into the nostrils of the church. Without Him, the church is lifeless just as Adam would have remained if God had not stooped over him and stooped down upon him and breathed the breath of life into him. It was not until God had done this that Adam became a living soul. Until God had done that he was just a lifeless form born out of the mind of the Creator. The church is lifeless without the Holy Spirit. It is constantly my prayer that the Holy Spirit will breathe life into the church and give life to the services we share every time we meet. The Holy Ghost is the inspiration by which every true preacher and teacher of the gospel of the kingdom of God speaks. We dare not stand before a class or before a congregation and speak in our own wisdom and intellect. The Holy Spirit has the truth and is willing to pass it on to those who are sincerely seeking it. If one is only trying to get the Bible to prove their personal beliefs, they will not succeed. There are some things that we can disagree upon but only until the Holy Spirit sets us straight and once He has, we will come to agreement. Why? Because He is the Author of truth and never the author of confusion. Where there is confusion, the Holy Spirit is being muted and is not being allowed to speak the truth. I thank Jesus Christ every day for His Holy Spirit which the Father has sent to His church. He is my peace, my joy, my strength, and my comfort at all times. God bless and go and have a great day.
