Homegrown church fun
Center Grove Presbyterian Church holds annual Fall Festival
with its homegrown atmosphere and free family fun
FEATURE
By Nicole Davis
Carnival games, bounce houses, food, prizes and candy –all free to the community at
Center Grove Presbyterian Church’s Fall Festival on Oct. 31, 6-8 p.m. The annual event is
expected to provide entertainment for more
than 500 community members, though the
more the merrier, says organizers and CoFamily Ministry Directors Amy Hyman and
Laura Helvie.
“We love the connection it brings us to the
community,” Hyman says. “It’s a safe alternative to trick or treating at houses. It’s just a fun
fall family time. It’s our biggest event. There’s
just so much to do. You almost can’t get it all
done in two hours.”
Hyman and Helvie helped begin the annual event in 2000 when Hyman worked in the
children’s ministry and Helvie volunteered.
The event began with handmade games from
church members. Many of the games are still
handmade, and some of the original games
are still being used. Since the beginning, the
event has added bounce houses, costume
contests, concessions, a hay ride around the
church property, photo booth and has 42 different games including putt-putt, darts, football, ring tosses and more.
“We’ve tried many different things through
the years,” Helvie says. “That’s kind of its atmosphere, too; it’s home grown.”
Annually, the church spends about $700

Getting to know
Rob Bettcher…
• I enjoy helping people do
things. That’s why I like to do
maintenance around the city
of Southport. Growing up I’d always help friends, neighbors do
yard work, things like that. I always have to be out being constructive, doing something.
• Halloween is my biggest hobby. You could call me in January, say you need the hearse
decorated and I’ll be there. I’m
going to St. Louis, Missouri in
March to the national Halloween show, where everyone is
dressed in costume with everything imaginable. I’ll take a couple of friends with me.
• The actor Sid Haig who portrayed Captain Spaulding in the
movie - he and I share the same
birthday. I didn’t realize that until after I started doing this.

for now, but that doesn’t mean Halloween
can’t still be fun. Bettcher owns a hearse that
was used at Fright Manor. It was suggested
to him to drive it around, passing out candy.
Thinking that was a great idea, he has done
just that for five years, dressing up as Captain Spaulding which was inspired by the film,
House of 1000 Corpses.
“That’s kind of my mobile haunt and I have
fun doing that now,” Bettcher said. “Everybody seems to enjoy it. That’s my whole goal,
to see people smile and I enjoy that.”
Southport will introduce two new events to
the city this year. Mayor Jesse Testruth said he
wants to bring the old holiday traditions back
to the city.
“A city that is a family oriented city, should
have family events,” Testruth said. “It’s working out like I was hoping it would. If you let
the people use their heads, do what they want,
they come up with amazing ideas.”
On Oct. 25, the city and University of Indianapolis students have partnered for a Southport Road Zombie Haunt, 6-9 p.m. on Southport Road from Madison to McFarland Road.
Interested participants can still sign up at the
Community Center, 6901 Derbyshire
Rd. through the day of the event. The
Halloween Party will take place Oct.
26, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the Community Center, with live music, a photo
shoot with Captain Spaulding, a costume contest, games, food and a parade starting at 6 p.m. with Captain
Spaulding as Grand Marshal and the
Mayor of Lawrence riding with him.
On Halloween, Bettcher will pass
out 500 treat bags of candy. The bags
are labeled with The City of Southport so families know where they
came from. For those who don’t know who he
is, his hearse will have a sign on the side with
Southport’s name.
“I think it’s great,” Bettcher said. “Maybe it
will bring the community closer and they can
see Halloween can be fun.”

Shame on vandals
We’ve seen our Southside neighborhoods,
especially within the last couple of years, make
a large push to beautify the neighborhood – a
necessary thing to bring in new businesses,
residents and to keep existing residents happy. Unfortunately, even in the nicest of areas,
there are still those who counteract this endeavor. It was reported Oct. 22 just days after a sign was installed at a Johnson County
nature preserve scheduled to open in November, vandals sprayed paint on it. It’s unclear
exactly when the vandalism occurred, but the
sign was installed last Thursday. Neighbors
noticed the paint and reported it on Sunday
to the Central Indiana Land Trust, which filed
a report with the Johnson County Sheriff ’s department.
The Blossom Hollow Preserve will open
to the public in mid-November and feature a
trail and small gravel parking lot. The property is particularly important as a conservation site because it is part of a large unbroken
hardwood forest block, which is key for migratory birds and forest interior nesting birds.
The preserve is home to three rare species:
the worm-eating warbler, hooded warbler
and Eastern box turtle. Contributions of approximately $500,000 to the Central Indiana
Land Trust made it possible for the land trust
to purchase the property and provide for the
ongoing maintenance so it will forever be protected and conserved.
It’s a shame that vandals attempt to destroy
beauty in a neighborhood before anyone even
gets a chance to enjoy it. We are excited to see
the new preserve after it opens and to enjoy
some more of the beauty the Southside holds.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Where there is no imagination
there is no horror."
~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Here’s to a fun
and safe Halloween
In the coming week there will be many opportunities for the little goblins and ghouls of
the Southside to celebrate Halloween (See our
calendar, page 8) - what a fun and exciting time.
It has been interesting for us Baby Boomers to
witness in recent years just how popular Halloween has become, not only for youngsters
but for adults as well. Drive by local drinking
establishments and you will see specials advertised for the 31st. In fact, adult Halloween
celebrations have become big business. Take a
look at any large retail area and you are sure
to find a place that will help you celebrate Halloween in the most ghoulish fashion. We hope
you and your little ones enjoy Halloween this
year as well and remember to be safe. Trickor-treating hours remain the same as previous
years; from 5-8:30 p.m. in Southport, 6-9 p.m.
in Beech Grove, 6-8:30 p.m. in Greenwood,
and 6-8 p.m. in Indianapolis.

Amtrak will trek
on in Beech Grove
Governor Mike Pence announces that the state
has reached an agreement in principle with
Amtrak and local communities to keep the Hoosier
State passenger rail service operating between
Indianapolis and Chicago. Once agreements
are signed and executed by all parties, monthly
payments will renew the existing service for
one year with an option for an additional four
months. Indianapolis, Crawfordsville, Rensselaer,
Lafayette, West Lafayette, Tippecanoe County
and Beech Grove are partnering with the Indiana
Department of Transportation (INDOT) to fund
the service. Congress voted in 2008 to end federal
support for Amtrak routes of less than 750 miles,
which includes the Hoosier State service four days
per week between Indianapolis and Chicago.
Amtrak’s long-distance Cardinal service will
continue to be federally supported the remaining
three days per week between Cincinnati and
Chicago via Indianapolis. For more information,

Two Haunts in One
The Asylum haunted house and Historic Hannah House partner
for the first time this Halloween season
By Nicole Davis
The Asylum is haunting at a real-life
haunted house this Halloween season, partnering with the Historic
Hannah House for the
first time in the 18 years
since Patrick Greathouse formed The Asylum. At some point, visitors will get chased, have
their phobias tested and
stories to tell after their visit.
“This
is the first year here and it’s
been working out really well
so far,” Greathouse said. “The
(Hannah House) family has
been quite accommodating. The management staff and
their volunteers have been great.
We’ve had people say this is a great
match-up. Our style of haunting
combined with Hannah House. So
we’re hoping to have a good season. We’ve moved from a volunteer staff to a paid position. We
had more applicants than we had
positions.”
The Asylum started out at German Park, moved into Johnson
County and is now in Indianapolis. The walk through the Hannah
House starts at the entrance, moves
upstairs, travels through the basement
and ventures outdoors.
“The thing about a haunted house is
there’s a mystery behind the doors,” Greathouse said. “Haunters and haunted house
owners should be playing on phobias; that’s
our business. The tradition is haunted
houses should be haunted. People want to
come and see a ghost. We went more tradi-
tional old school this year with the haunt.”
Behind the scenes, a group of makeup
artists, 65 actors and building staff and other personnel help run
the event and provide a
thrill for everyone that
comes through. Greathouse says the staff enjoys the haunting just as
much as attendants do,
telling stories at the end
of the night about their
favorite reactions.
“One of my rules is,
if you can’t scare ‘em, make ‘em go wow,”
Greathouse said. “If they don’t go wow,
make ‘em laugh. You’re there to entertain
them. It takes a ton of people’s hard work
and they need to be recognized.”
In addition to the haunted house, The
Asylum donates part of its proceeds to nonprofits. On Oct. 26, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. it will
host Thrill the World Indianapolis, a worldwide simultaneous dance event of Thriller
for a world record. Funds raised will benefit Wild Heart and area programs for domestic violence prevention. Sign up at wildheartassociation.com. All must report one
hour before performance time to be counted. The world record attempt will begin at
4 p.m. sharp. Entrance fee is $5 in advance,
$10 at the door.
As it gets closer to Halloween, Greathouse said attendance has begun to pick up.
He encourages everyone to dress comfortably and be prepared for an “intense” thrill.
“Our job is to scare you,” Greathouse said.
“We are not going to harm you at any time.
It’s like being on a roller coaster. You think
you could fall out, but you won’t. We pay for
a trill and we do the best we can to give it to
them… I am thrilled with this year.”
Brief history of
Hannah House
The story is told that one night, a group of
slaves were cramped in a dark, dirt-floored
cellar, waiting to head for the freedom of
Canada. One of them tipped over an oil
lamp, lighting a fire that trapped them
there, many killed by smoke inhalation
and burns. The dead are buried in
that cellar. Ever since then, the cellar
of the Hannah House is known for
paranormal activity. Read more at

"When I was 8 years old,
me, my parents, and
my two sisters really
got into Halloween. The
house would be well
decorated and we made
our own costumes at the
house. That year I was a
vampire, one sister was
a witch and my other
sister was a cat. We went through every neighborhood in Gainsville, Fla. in a brown Pinto.
We had pillow cases and we would fill the pillow cases up. We went trick-or-treating from 5
p.m. to 10 with my parents and we must have
filled up those pillow cases two or three times.
Dad was driving down the street in the Pinto
and you could see the candy in the back window piled up through the back glass hatch of
that Pinto. We kept loading it in there. We had
to throw a lot of candy
away that year."
~ Christopher McGuire,
Beech Grove
"When I was a little girl
back in the 50's, my dad
told me about soaping
windows and then it really made people mad if
you used paraffin. And so I bought some paraffin and I soaped everybody's window that was
on our block except my parent's car. And I got
caught. My dad was really mad. 'You should
have at least soaped our windows, too.'"

Twenty-eight members of the Southport
Middle School Spanish Club learned about the
upcoming Día de los Muertos remembrance.
Students sang a song in Spanish with
Srta Geiser about Día de los Muertos and
contrasted Day of the Dead and Halloween
with Srta Gunderson and found out they were
unrelated holidays. Sra Lopez-Servin shared
traditional foods that would be typically
eaten during this time. Sra Johnson led the
students in creating/decorating skeletons to
commemorate someone. At their next club
meeting, they will explore the country of
Ecuador with Sra Johnson through art, food
and a slideshow presentation. Pictured, Nicole

Hair myth • Contrary to popular belief, shaving does not make
your hair come back in force. You may think it’s thicker or darker
after it grows again, but in reality the hairs have just been
blunted. – www.webmd.com
Hacking the Prius • Did you know modern cars are susceptible
to hacking? It turns out the little computers helping modern
cars regulate themselves and give you warnings can be hacked,
allowing the manipulation of your vehicle’s movements and
functions. – www.living.msn.com
Fungal funk • Are you a germaphobe but dying for professional
treatment at a nail salon? Celebrity manicurist Susan Nam says
bring your own polish to the establishment. That way, you don’t
have to worry about using a co-mingled bottle of polish that
may have been used on someone with fungal bacteria.
– www.goodhousekeeping.com
ARE YOU PUZZLED YET?
A quick guide to groceries • One website can help you pick
out what to grab for dinner from the grocery store at a nominal
subscription fee ($5 to 7 per month). eMeals.com takes input
on eating styles, how big your family is and preferences and
compiles that information, delivering recipes and grocery lists
for various grocery chains – www.living.msn.com
Preserve hair color • Chill out, clean freaks. If you’ve just had
your hair colored, you might want to avoid shampooing all the
time. That way your investment in that new color isn’t washed
out fast. A shampoo every other day should do the trick, with dry
shampoo use on the off days. If greasy strands aren’t a problem
for you, you can probably stretch that out further.
– www.living.msn.com
Eye contact key • If your child is having a temper tantrum, you
have to use eye contact. Get the child’s attention, and you’ll have
a better go at getting your point across or behavior changing.
– www.living.msn.com
Badmouthing a bad behavior • How does badmouthing the
other parent in front of a child impact the boy or girl? According
to Susan Saper Galamba, a divorce and family attorney, a child
carries the characteristics of both parents, so comments like he
or she “‘sounds just like’ the other parent” can send a negative
message if it comes after badmouthing. – www.living.msn.com

Speak no evil?
DEVOTIONAL
By Pastor Paul A. Kirby
"But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men. And He
called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear,
and understand: Not that which goes into the
mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out
of the mouth, this defiles a man." ~ Matthew
15:9-11
I remember a little chorus we learned
when we were children
in Sunday School. The
chorus went something like this: "Be careful little feet where you
go. Be careful little feet
where you go. For the
Father up above is looking down with love, be
careful little feet where
you go. Be careful little
mouth what you say.
Be careful little mouth
what you say..." And the
song went on to include
the hands and eyes and
ears and to warn us to
be careful what we would do with our bodies
and their several different parts.
I thought then and I still feel that this little
chorus illustrates the doctrine of holiness quite
well. It is impossible to draw from the same
well both sweet water and bitter. Either one is a
child of God or he is not.
There is a trend today (and I read it a lot from
what is sent to me via the internet) to compromise our holiness in our speech. Whether we
are saying what we say in print or by conversa-
tion orally, our language should reflect the holiness of life within. I don't like getting vulgar
emails but there are those who insist on sending them to me anyway. I believe that a Christian's language should be kept clean and undefiled with gutter terms and vulgarities.
Christ told His disciples that those things
that come out of the mouth are the things that
defile a man. More precisely Christ was saying
that those things that
come from a person's
mouth are the things
that the person is defiled with and are identifying markers of such.
He was warning His
disciples to be aware
of and to beware the
words of the Pharisees.
The Pharisees were offended by what Jesus
said. Of course they did.
It specified sin in their
hearts which was betrayed by their speech.
I don't use profanity in print or in verbal communication. I
believe it demeans the
person speaking and relates to the one hearing
that the one speaking has little or no respect
for them.
We need to clean up our language whether it
is being spoken or written. God the Father up
above is looking down with love so...be careful
little mouth what you say and be careful little
fingers what you write.
God bless and go and have a great day.
Paul A. Kirby is the pastor at the Church of God at 3939 S. Emerson Ave.
Lutheran, Beech Grove high schools
compete in Indiana Academic Spell Bowl
AROUND TOWN
Small village in Ecuador to have VBS
AROUND TOWN
Members of Community Church at Murphy’s
Landing gave a week of their Fall Break
vacation to be missionaries. 12 members of
this Southside church are in LaUnion Ecuador
visiting this small rural village to bring God’s
Word to the people in a vacation Bible school
format as well as personal evangelism. They
will even be shown a Christian themed
movie in the tropical wilderness. On the
trip are Damon Disch, Lynette Disch Wilson,
Bethany Disch Mauser, Shelby Covington, Dan
Matthews, Darla Matthews, Derek Matthews,
Brandon Awrey, Jennifer Awrey, Samantha
Awrey and Tony Linton. This mission trip will
help these members to grow in their faith
by serving others in their environment. The
trip is coordinated by One Mission Society
of Greenwood and it’s “Men for Missions”
outreach program.
On Oct.15, Lutheran High School competed
in the Area Competition of the 28th Annual
Indiana Academic Spell Bowl. Lutheran was
one of the 18 sites across the state to host the
event. Over 6000 Indiana students competed
in the Indiana Academic Spell Bowl. The
schools competing at Lutheran High School
included class 1 schools Greenfield Central,
New Palestine, Mt. Vernon, and Roncalli;
class 2 Beech Grove; class 3 schools Cardinal
Ritter, Park Tudor, and Speedway; and class 4
Lutheran. The Indiana Academic Spell Bowl is
a team concept with no individual winners.
Each round consists of one team member
writing the correct spelling of nine words
while competing against one team member
from each other school. Each word is graded
immediately and an individual scoring
chart maintains a running team score as the
evening progresses. At the Lutheran site,
Greenfield Central, Beech Grove, Park Tudor,
and Lutheran all placed first in their respective
classes. Lutheran High School placed 15th
overall in the state in class 4. Senior Sarah Deitz
received a near perfect score award. Team
members for Lutheran High School include
Kailyn Turner, Ryan Kanning, Nick Arnett,
Sarah Deitz, Benton Turner, Katherine Krupski,
Nina Milivojac, Rachel Lawson, Branden
Adams, Jon Knippenberg, Drew Settlemyre,
Ross Richardson, Blake Sobieralski, Joey
Wilkins, Emily Hopkins, Kyrie Seying, and Jake
Kent. The top teams with the highest scores in
each of the four enrollment classifications will
converge on the Purdue University campus
on Saturday, November 10, 2012, for the
state championship competition. For more
