Photos by Eric Ellis By Eric Ellis Scores of Greenwood business owners, elected city officials, city employees, and members of local media outlets all gathered in the Valle Vista conference room on Feb. 10 at 11:30 a.m. to hear Mayor Mark Myers give his fourth State of the City address. Myers made note of all the accomplishments Greenwood had made, citing the new City Center office building completion, the Council’s approval of a revitalization plan for Old Town, various construction projects including the aquatics park, the ULTA distribution center and construction on the Worthsville Road interstate exchange. “Much of what we have accomplished over the past three years was made possible by the work of our Redevelopment Commission,” Myers said. “Several businesses have relocated to Greenwood because of incentives made possible by the work of the Commission. Its reputation for good business sense and forward thinking will give Greenwood opportunities to attract many more good employers in the next several years.” And indeed, Greenwood has seen business growth and financial competency while other Indiana municipalities may have struggled. “Greenwood finished 2014 with a surplus of $389,277. The 2014 budget adopted by the Common Council predicted a $96,000 surplus. We expect the trend to continue in 2015,” Myers said. “Each of the three budgets presented by my team has been in the black. In 2014, we added $300,000 to the Rainy Day Fund. The Rainy Day Fund balance has increased by 50 percent since my first budget was implemented on Jan. 1, 2013.” Myers concluded his speech on a positive note: “I am proud to be your mayor. Greenwood works because we are willing to recognize and serve the needs of our future generations.” To view a full transcript of the speech, visit greenwood.in.gov.

It seemed like the whole of Greenwood was in attendance—police officers, firefighters, city officials, business owners, you name it. And not just for the food, either! (We’ve got Taste of the Southside and Taste of Perry coming up to sate those individuals.) The Southside Times is proud to be a member of the Greater Greenwood Chamber, among other business organizations, and proud to bring our readers the news of Greenwood and the Southside at large. Prior to the Mayor’s address, Chamber President & Chief Executive Officer Christian Maslowski spoke briefly about the benefits of the Chamber and the shared success each member experiences. In many ways, Mayor Myers’ speech reflected similar sentiments not only about the success of the city, but of its relationship with local businesses and other local governments as well. “It’s great to be able to work with Franklin and Bargersville,” Myers said. Collaboration is a great thing indeed! If only the whole world operated in as friendly a manner. In a speech that spelled out Greenwood’s several successes over the past three years, we see those successes spilling over into our other Southside communities and neighborhoods. Though the needs of Southport are quite different from the needs of Beech Grove—and so on—the Southside as a whole appears to be in good shape as we dig our heels into the dirt of 2015 and prepare for more growth, more revitalization and a better quality of living for all our citizens. Here’s to you, Mayor Myers, for your success at the helm of Greenwood. And thanks to all of Greenwood’s city officials, employees, firefighters and law enforcers—the head honcho couldn’t have done it without you. May the rest of our communities garner inspiration from your hard work and dedication and propel the Southside to even greater heights. BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.… In Buckner, Missouri, a small town of only 4,000, yard waste may be burned any day except Sunday. -dumblaws.com 5 Top ten reasons your kid got suspended from pre-school BACKSHOP Pollster just might have a better view Gallup Organization CEO Jim Clifton rightfully lambasted the government’s unemployment rate and the methodology used to determine it. “There’s no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.” Americans for Limited Government tells us in deriding the official unemployment rate, Clifton points to the fact that those who have left the workforce even if they are of working age are not counted as unemployed. He points to the unfair categorization of a person trained to be an engineer working as a fry cook as being employed rather than underemployed. He worryingly notes that only 44 percent of the adult population 18 years old and older have full-time jobs (more than 30 hours a week) asserting, “We need that to be 50 percent and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America’s middle class.” ……………… Let’s see how the Republicans can mess this up. Mitt Romney has declined the opportunity to attempt another run at the presidency and Jeb Bush apparently and sadly – with his family’s record as an anchor – seems to be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. Ah, but wait! Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a guy we can stomach, is making friends and serious gains on Bush’s popularity. At this point, we see him as having the tools and guts to take on the Clinton machine. Of course, he runs the risk of party leadership having him go through perfunctory spine removal surgery. We urge him to continue what brought him this far. This is far more complicated than Hillary Rodham Clinton’s candidacy for 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., which she can have if she wants it. ……………… The seeds of falsehood(s) finally caught up with NBC Managing Editor Brian Williams this week. It took too long. His suspension for six months with no pay, meted out by the television network’s brass, doesn’t fit the crime, in our view. For him to abandon the viewers’ trust and be able to return will leave a dark cloud hovering. But, really, since when did that matter to the liberal mainstream media? By Torry Stiles 10.

The day of celebration is a time-honored tradition with roots in early Christianity as a liturgical celebration of Saint Valentinius, though there are numerous other “Valentines” throughout history from various cultures that also celebrate one version or another of the same narrative. It wasn’t until 18th-century England (thanks to author Geoffrey Chaucer) that the celebration took on a romantic quality. Courtly lovers would send greeting cards to one another as an expression of affection—a tradition that we uphold to this day. Whether you’re the single type who enjoys the simpler pleasures of life (there’s nothing wrong with making a date with Netflix and a glass of wine), are a still-glowing newlywed or if your relationship has weathered the test of time—there’s something for everyone to enjoy in these Southside Sweethearts’ stories of love at first sight. Then and Now Perry Township Jerry Bennett was serving as an usher at First Presbyterian Church in Stanford, Conn., in 1962 when Winona first walked in the door. He said he couldn’t help but notice her: the beautiful woman with dark red hair. “I looked at this very pretty lady and thought she was above my station, inapproachable,” Jerry said. Jerry said she joined the young adults group that he was a part of. He asked her on a date and she said yes. They went to a New Year’s Eve party separately. “Then when I got to know her a little better. She had a very outgoing, pleasant personality: someone who would pitch in and help when people were in need,” Jerry said. “At that New Year’s Eve party, we went separately. She had gotten a ride from someone else that was going. During the course of the evening the host’s record player broke. She said I have a portable at home, but I’ll need a ride. The host had several cars parked behind him in the driveway, the last of which was mine. So she and I went to her apartment to get her record player and then back to the party. This attracted me to her because she was stepping in when someone else was having an emergency.” Jerry said they danced until 4 a.m. when the host laughingly said they should go home. Photo by Nicole Davis Jerry and Winona Bennett Submitted Photos Stewart and Leslie Dixon Jerry and Winona Bennett Then and Now Family Photo: Stewart, Hannah, Noah, Sam and Leslie Dixon Submitted Photos They instead went to a diner, Curly’s, which he said was the only place in town. “When we went out for dates, we’d always end up back at her apartment and we’d sit and talk a lot,” Jerry said. “We knew each other well enough. It had to go to the next step. So I asked her to marry me. To my surprise, she said yes.” Winona just had one request: she wanted to be a June bride. That gave them only a few months to plan the wedding. They were married June 1963. Despite all this, Jerry knew he would eventually be drafted because of the Vietnam War. He called up a Navy recruiter and joined. He said he remembers sitting in boot camp that July, sad and missing his bride, who he married just one month earlier. “We’re both stubborn,” Jerry said. “By stubborn, I mean, we’re in this for the long haul.” The couple had two sons, Matthew and Mark, both deceased. They moved to Indiana in ’67. They chose to move to Perry Township in 1976 when Winona discovered that Matthew had dyslexia. Perry Township schools offered the special education that was needed at the time. They found a good deal on a home in the area and have stayed. Winona is currently staying at Forrest Creek Village. Jerry said he learned the key to a long-lasting marriage from his parents. He said when he was six, his family moved to Connecticut for his father’s career at an ad agency. His mother suffered an accident, which led to her declining health. It was hard to get medical help at the time and his father didn’t want her in a nursing home. Jerry said he saw his father sacrifice his career for her well-being. That became an example of the give and take that he said makes a marriage work. “When you’re married, both partners in the marriage put the good of the other ahead of the good of themselves,” Jerry said. “As long as you both do that, your marriage will last forever.” Stewart and Leslie Dixon Greenwood Stewart and Leslie Dixon met in 1986. Stewart had been invited to a party at Leslie’s house after one of his friends’ girlfriends told him he should get out and meet some nice girls. As he got out of the car to enter the party, he stepped in a ditch and got mud all over his nice, white canvas shoes. Leslie came out with a hose and helped him clean his shoes. “We got to talking,” Stewart said. “I knew it was love at first sight. She had a good soul and a good family. She believed in God. Those were things I was searching for in my life at that time.” The couple dated for two years. Stewart said every time they went on a date, he’d get her roses. When they got married, he said he planted a rose garden for her. The Southside Times “He is one of those individuals that makes me feel beautiful and loved 99 percent of the time,” Leslie said. "It is probably rare. I trust him completely. You never have to worry about everything. It’s a day-to-day thing.” They married on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 1988 at Rosedale Hill United Methodist Church where they still attend. Stewart said they picked the day because, “I knew I wouldn’t forget our anniversary. Everybody would celebrate with us.” The Dixons have two sons and a daughter, and say much of their life revolves around going to their extracurricular activities and being involved as parents. They said a key to sustaining their relationship for the past 27 years has been communication, and regularly spend time in their hot tub which gives them time to talk without interruptions. They always have dinner together. Leslie said even though they don’t always see eye-to-eye, they complement each other well. “I think our faith in God is important to our marriage,” Stewart said. “We hope we pass that onto our kids. Whoever they’re with, we hope we love them with all their might.” The couple resides in Greenwood. With their anniversary coming up, they said they typically spend it with dinner and a movie or will go down to Brown County to shop. Louis and Faye Santangelo Greenwood Louis and Faye Santangelo met on a Tuesday night. They went on their first date by Saturday and were engaged by Monday. “It was love at first sight,” Faye said. “I don’t think I’d ever been more certain of anything in my life. There was never a doubt in my mind.” Faye was living in Greenwood at the time, where she owned a business near Smith Valley Road and U.S. 31. She said she went to visit her brother in Florida. Louis was on a bowling COMMUNITY league with her brother which is how they met that Friday. He asked her to go on a date. She said yes, but got sick after deep sea fishing and had to cancel. They met up for a double date on Saturday with Faye’s brother and sister-inlaw. She said on Sunday morning he asked if he could bring his 4-year-old son over to meet her. Louis said that’s when he knew she was the one – when he saw the way she took to his son. He then asked if she’d come to meet his mother. The next day, Sunday, he asked her to marry him. “Three months later, we were married,” Faye said. “We married March 4, 1971. As of March 4 it will be 44 years we’ve been happily married... I don’t know if I’d advise someone to get married that quick, but it worked for us.” In between those three months, Faye had returned to Greenwood. He would call her once a day and she would call him once a day. “We ran up quite a telephone bill,” Faye said. “It was like marrying strangers. We had to get to know each other from the very beginning. He came up and met my mom and dad.” Faye said her family was surprised at first, but was quickly accepting. “My family, the main thing was when they met him, they fell in love with him,” Faye said. “He’s just a terrific man. They didn’t think anything about it. His mom said when I went to her house for dinner, she said she knew this was going to happen.” After they married, they lived in Kissimmee, Fla., for a year until Faye said she got homesick. They’ve lived in Greenwood since but are making plans to return to Florida this year. “The love and patience is there, just caring for each other,” Faye said. “He has had Parkinson’s about 12 years now. We’ve always had a good marriage. We’ve had arguments but we’ve gotten over them. It’s about honesty and trust.” Eric Ellis also contributed to this article. ss-times.com • Week of Week of February 12-18, 2015 7 Fact for fact, XFINITY® is superior. Don’t settle for U-verse.

Marcus Harris BEHIND the BADGE Marcus Harris was brought into the Southport Police Department in July, two weeks after he finished his courses in the pre-basic academy. As the type of person who likes to stay busy, Harris said he enjoys the different daily challenges that come with being in law enforcement. As a reserve officer on the department, Harris works full-time as a jail deputy for the Hendricks County Sheriff ’s Department. “I’m fortunate to be in the Sheriff ’s Department. I get to be the one to arrest people (in Southport) and be the one to book them. A lot of the experience I have for this job (in Southport) has come from the jail; watching the other officers bring people in, seeing what they book them for.” Harris said he’s enjoyed working for Southport so far because it’s a small community where you get to know everyone by name. What was your inspiration to become a police officer? It started when I was a kid. I always wanted to be a firefighter. My mom and dad would buy me fire trucks. I’d see all the lights and sirens. In Broad Ripple High School, I got into ROTC my freshman year. By sophomore year, I ranked up and I was in the drill team, rifle team, color guard and did everything the program offered. That built a lot of structure in my life. Also in high school, I did security at the fairgrounds for about three years. The tipping point was when I started looking at what college to go to. It was easier to find one that offered criminology. I went to Indiana Sate for a year for Criminology. I moved back here and started in work release, community corrections for a year. After leaving there I worked for department of corrections for three years. I went to Shelby County Sheriff Department for about a year and went to pre-basic academy. Reserve officer gains experience through Southport PD What has been your favorite moment on the job? I was still early on in the FTO phase, when you first get into a police car. You’re not automatically in the driver’s seat. You’re riding and observing, learning what the driver actually does. I was thrown to the test early on in phase one and I was told to switch seats. I’d never even been in a police car. It’s one thing to watch it on television. You get in the driver’s seat and have to focus on the plate number in front of me, type that in, focus on the road and not speed and not go too slow; it was overwhelming. Within two minutes of being in the driver seat, we got a run. I’ll never forget that day. It was definitely a learning experience. What aspect of the job do you find most challenging? Being a reserve, the positive thing is it’s a smaller department, but the downfall you don’t get the full academy. The most challenging is not getting too nervous and freezing up when a situation comes; just being able to use common sense and the training I’ve received to use my best judgment. What do you enjoy doing in your off-time? I love fishing; that’s my number one hobby. I live across from Eagle Creek so I can walk across the street and go fishing any time I want. What are your future goals, professionally or personally? To eventually become full-time. It’s a slow process to be on a full time police department like Indianapolis. I’m taking it day by day. What would you have done if you hadn't of became a police officer? My parents, my family in general begged me to be an architect. I grew up on Legos. I could build anything. To this day, I still play with Legos.

Photo by Nicole Davis Indianapolis Public Library CEO, Jackie Nytes, was at the Southport Branch Library on Feb. 6 to discuss the digital future.

A game of digital library Candyland was played to see where local library users are digitally. One item she said the libraries would like to have more of is computer labs to be able to offer more educational classes and activities. Even with the increase in digital offerings, Nytes said the library facilities continuing to see large numbers of visitors. “People see the library as a place,” Nytes said. “It’s a place to come with your family.

Approximately 80 people were in attendance as the city offered drinks, photographs, crafts and music provided by DJ, Ryan McDonald, who also teaches at Greenwood Middle School. “This is our first dance together and that’s fun,” said Julie Beaty as she made a Valentine’s card with her son, Andrew. “He’s 4 and this was just something special.” Schwab said he noticed there seemed to be more father/daughter pairings on the dance floor than in previous years. “We’re glad that they offer this for parents and kids,” said Mike Mcintre, who attended with his daughter, Ava, last year, too. “They won’t want to do this when they grow up so I’m glad we have this.” The city’s next event is Breakfast with the Easter Bunny in late March.

Wedding Planner 2015 SPECIAL SECTION published by Times Leader Publications, LLC Pages 13-15 Plan with Personality Simple and personal are trending in the wedding industry By Nicole Davis Guests don’t come to a wedding to see the bride and groom dressed up like someone they’re not. Everything from choice of attire, cake, venue, or décor, it’s all about choosing what makes the bride and groom happy. “Everyone has a more enjoyable time if you bring the personality of the bride and groom to the wedding,” says Andrea Caldwell, of Events by Andrea which serves Central Indiana. “The personality of the bride and groom needs to come out on the actual wedding day. Simple is usually better and that’s kind of the trend with the eclectic or vintage style. Keep it personal. That really is what I think makes the best wedding event.” Caldwell said most importantly; make sure the couple focuses on the marriage, and not the wedding itself. To give them more time and ease of mind, she says wedding planners are there to help, not just with details of the wedding or money saving tips, but to prepare for things that might be forgotten by the first-time wedding organizers. “I know people say that ‘oh we can’t afford a wedding planner’ but wedding planners do the shopping around,” Caldwell says. “They help save you time on the day of. They have everything you need prepared for you ahead of time. If you want to save money, you will spend money on a wedding planner. I truly believe that.” Caldwell shares some of the popular trends she’s observed in the wedding industry: Wedding Dress It’s more casual. I don’t see people going with the big tutu gowns. More people are going for slim dresses and more casual. Everyone is doing lace and more form-fitted dresses. It’s more casual and fun so they can dance in their dress. Cake There are more cupcakes or they’ll have a cake for the bride and groom to cut and they’ll serve cupcakes. From the other extreme I’ve seen more deluxe cakes. Venue A lot of people are going with outdoor venues. Those have been popping up everywhere from old vintage barns to outdoor wedding sites. Barns have been huge attractions for brides. They want the outdoor, country feel. Flowers They’re usually fresh. They’ve been choosing a lot of fresh wildflowers, hydrangeas, peonies, things you can grow yourself. There are lots of varieties of color. Décor They’re doing a lot of antique doors as backdrops, wooden stumps. It’s very natural and very simplistic decorations, kind of a DIY look and very vintage. Photography I feel like the photography part of it they are really trying to capture the personality and the story of their wedding day. They are trying to capture the feeling of the day. Entertainment I’ve seen a lot of people doing a three-piece thing for a ceremony and a DJ is pretty standard. Brian White, a popular DJ, is doing a lot of up lighting and extra add-ons. Typically, the DJ hasn’t changed a whole lot. They play what you want and are for the reception. 14 Week of February 12-18, 2015 • ss-times.com WeddingDISPATCH Pros and Cons of Bands vs. DJs Music can be the difference between a lively reception and yawning guests checking their watches, so it’s important to consider what’s best for your wedding ceremony and to also consider the needs of your guests. Live bands can offer a bit of intimacy and personality given the performative nature of their act, though DJs may be able to bring more variety to the table—and at a more affordable rate. Keeping the budget in mind, it’s also important to note how much space is available—if you’re hoping for big band sounds, it may be best to avoid a smaller venue. Most importantly, get to know your maestros before you choose—listen to the band live or see if the DJ has a video of a previous wedding performance. – TheKnot.com WEDDING PLANNER 2015 The Southside Times Southside Wedding Vendor Directory Cakes A Piece of Cake 1275 W.

What's going on Southside? Send your news & events for consideration, email: [email protected] NIGHT & DAY The Southside Times BEHIND BARS Seventh Son… As bad as it looks MOVIE REVIEW By Adam Staten Have you ever watched a film’s trailer and then could instantly tell whether or not if it was something you wanted to invest two hours of your life in? Of course you have; we all have. Those two-to-three minute commercials are meant to entice its target audience into purchasing tickets by showing the only watchable material in the film. We’ve also heard you’re not supposed to judge a book by the cover. Well, in the case of the new film, Seventh Son, your initial reaction may be right. Seventh Son is the latest in a string of action, fantasy type films. The film stars Jeff Bridges as Master Gregory, a spook who is locked in an eternal battle against the dark, evil spirits that threaten to take over the world. Julianne Moore plays Mother Malkin, the evil witch looking to take over the world and as we find out later, she has a very personal axe to grind. Anyway, if Master Gregory is ever going to defeat the evil Malkin once and for all, he needs some help. So, Gregory ventures out and recruits the young Tom Ward. Tom is the seventh son of the seventh son and for a rea- EntertainmentDISPATCH ss-times.com • Week of Week of February 12-18, 2015 WHERE WE DINE AJ Clingerman, owner of Indiana Brazilian Jiujitsu Academy, 1100-1140 N.

As far as the story goes, Seventh Son is severely lacking and proves to be the film’s biggest stumbling block. The story is so incredibly unoriginal, but that pales in comparison to the nonexistent background or story development we’re provided. The film thrusts you into a world similar to one you would see in The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, but instead of giving the audience any reasoning behind any of the characters choices or decisions we’re left wondering for a majority of the film. It’s hard to believe one A-list actor would appear in a film like this, but two having play a significant role in this film is pretty incredible and that may be the most impressive thing about Seventh Son. But even Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore aren’t nearly enough to make this something to see. Seventh Son isn’t a good film; it’s not even an ok one. If you did happen to stumble across the trailer and came away thinking, “that looked pretty terrible”, believe me, you’re right. A 1.5 out of 5. Location: Whit’s Inn, located in Whiteland at 1020 N.

IN OUR SCHOOLS The Southside Times FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP Franklin Township Middle School’s Club Linus donates 70 blankets Franklin Township Middle School-East’s Club Linus announced the donation of their 70th blanket. Club Linus is a fun and rewarding volunteer student service project. Members, also known as “blanketeers” work together to make homemade blankets, which are donated to local children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or just perhaps in special need of a new, handmade blanket. The club motto is to provide love, and security, one blanket at a time. Club Linus student volunteers meet bimonthly, to discuss problem-solving strategies and blanket-making ideas. Since the blankets cost roughly $18 apiece, they must think of ways to generate money in order to constantly purchase blanket materials. FTMS-East sponsors, Stephanie Dodd and Erin Carr, note that the group has worked together to selflessly help others. To date, they have purchased fleece with the funds raised from student spirit days, but are always looking for new projects to fund our cause.

Franklin Centrals Christy and Kalia named to Indiana Affiliate of NCWIT For the second consecutive year, two Franklin Central High School students, senior Margaret Christy and junior Jasmine Kalia, have been named by the Indiana Affiliate of the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) as state winners of the Award for Aspirations in Computing. Twenty-three ladies from the state of Indiana were recipients of this award. A banquet at OneAmerica Building in downtown Indianapolis was held in their honor Jan. 28. The young ladies were awarded a plaque, a shoulder bag filled with small gifts, and a $250 check. Scholarships of varying amounts to several Indiana colleges and universities were also made available to these outstanding award winners. Jasmine Kalia, the daughter of Vipin and Sangeeta Kalia, is a two-time winner of the Indiana Award for Aspirations in Computing, winning last year and again this year. She is enjoying the college level math and science courses she is currently taking at FCHS. Jasmine is President of the World Cultures Club, captain of the Auto Flashes Robotics Club, a member of the Brain Game team, and a varsity tennis player. She is most proud of leading the FCHS Auto Flashes team to the 2015 VEX Robotics World Championships in Anaheim, CA. Outside of school, Jasmine volunteers at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum. Last summer, Jasmine did research at IUPUI in the Physics Department. She plans to pursue a career in astrophysics. Margaret, the daughter of Edward and Lori Christy, became interested in computer programming after joining the FCHS Auto Flashes Robotics Team. She, too, helped coach/program the robotics team to the 2014 VEX World Championships in Anaheim, Calif. She continues to pursue her passion for programming by taking Computer Science AP at Franklin Central. Margaret is also co-president of Student Council, a member of National Honor Society, and academically ranked in the top 1% of her senior class. Outside of school, Margaret is a volunteer student tutor, a VEX Student Ambassador, and participates in 4-H and BSA Venture Crew. Margaret plans to attend Purdue University this fall to major in Actuarial Science and Computer Science. The purpose of the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing is to build a talent pool for the growing technical workforce and encourage young women to pursue IT careers, providing leadership opportunities, scholarships, and internships to high potential technically-inclined young women. ss-times.com • Week of Week of February 12-18, 2015 21 PERRY TOWNSHIP Perry’s Dave Rohl strives to help students understand their potential Mr. Dave Rohl is the Principal of Perry Meridian Middle School. His career with the district began 25 years ago as a third grade teacher at Homecroft Elementary School where he taught for 10 years. Mr. Rohl then served as the Assistant Principal at Douglas MacArthur Elementary for two years. In 2002, he became Principal at Winchester Village Elementary. Eight years later, he was appointed to his current position as Principal of Perry Meridian Middle School. One of his goals is to help students understand that their potential in life is only limited by the choices they make. Mr. Rohl holds several degrees: a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Indianapolis, a Master’s Degree from IUPUI and his Administrator license through Indiana University. “My typical day begins at 6:30 a.m. reading emails and preparing for the day. I welcome our car rider students and wave to our parents, younger siblings and the occasional family pet. The rest of the school day is a whirlwind of student discussions, classroom observations, parent phone calls, teacher discussions, and paperwork. I enjoy watching students engage their teachers in the best conversation I have ever heard …until the next great conversation comes along! I also attend as many of our wonderful afterschool activities as possible. I am blessed with a wonderful wife, Brenda, three awesome sons (Corey, Casey and Codey) and one spoiled dog, Max. I am very proud that my sons are all Eagle Scouts! We attend Southport Christian Church where I teach Sunday school classes and am currently an elder. I enjoy golf (even though I am a terrible player) and I haven’t passed up a great meal yet! Hilton Head Island is our favorite place to spend vacation. A little known fact about me is that I am one of 9 children (second to last) and that I worked my way through high school on a hog farm! I moved from Mars Hill in urban Indy to New Ross, IN when I was in 8th grade. I went from city boy to country boy in 35 minutes! You name it, I did it… we bred, raised and sold hogs to meat packing plants. Spending time on a farm is similar to our experiences at school. The job is never really done, but working hard is the only way you are going to reap any benefits.” ~ Dave Rohl Perry’s Tasha Whitsitt receives NCWIT award Tasha Whitsitt, Perry Meridian High School junior, was selected as a 2014 recipient of the NCWIT Indiana Affiliate Award for Aspirations in Computing. In honor of her achievement, the Indiana Affiliate presented Tasha with the following: engraved plaques (one for herself and one for PMHS), a check for $250, a T-shirt and a gift bag with other items. Also, as part of her winner’s package, Indiana universities have scholarship offers for her in varying amounts.

DEVOTIONAL By Paul Kirby "Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." ~ Mark 8:37-38 I have thought about this question lately. It has no answer in material or dollar sense. The question is, what is a man or woman's soul worth? There is an old-time western that comes on every week-day in the evening called Wanted, Dead or Alive. It stars Steve McQueen and is likely the show that made a Hollywood star out of him. In it he plays the role of a bounty hunter. He goes after those who have committed a crime and who have a "price on their head." His name in the show is Josh Randall and, of course, he is the "good guy" who goes out after the "bad guys." He is a loner. The message in this to me is that there are those who put so little value on their own souls that they make the choice to break the law and by so doing, they put their life at risk and their souls in danger of hell-fire. This character that Steve McQueen played (Josh Randall) was himself a lost soul which was on its way to hell. There is this one particular episode where he is forced to kill a man who is determined to escape and he brings him back to town to deliver him to the local sheriff only to find out that the man had been proven innocent. Now, he has an innocent man's death on his hands and on his conscience. The last couple of lines of this episode are in the final scene where the sheriff asks Josh Randall who is turning to go out of his office, "Where are you going?" Josh Randall replies, "I am going to find a church!" One has to assume he is going there to repent and pray for forgiveness. The man he had captured, he himself and the sheriff are lost souls in need of redemption. They all are portrayed as good people but most certainly not righteous. Someone right now is making a decision to cheapen the value of their soul by entering into a bank, a service station, a supermarket, a department store or another place of business in order to rob it for a few dollars that will hardly see them through the day let alone a lifetime. They seem to be oblivious to the fact that God knows their crime even if law enforcement never knows. The word "sin" simply means that one by sin is a criminal in the eyes of God and must give an account of them and pay the price for them or else suffer the consequence of eternal damnation. Now, enters the real and only "good Guy", Jesus Christ. He paid for those sins with the price of His life. He took the full brunt of God's anger over our crimes (our sins) and took that to the cross and begged God to forgive us. Your soul was worth the life of the only truly life-long righteous man that ever lived on the surface of this earth. All He asks in return is your faith in that as a fact-your personal faith. Unless we put our faith in Him God has no reason to forgive our sins. What value do you place on your soul? Some sell theirs so very cheaply. Mine is bought and paid for by Christ. Without the price He paid my soul would still be lost. 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. 24 Week of February 12-18, 2015 • ss-times.com LIFESTYLE The Southside Times ON CAMPUS Beech Grove’s Dana Mullins graduates from The University of Findlay Dana Mullins of Beech Grove graduated from The University of Findlay in December 2014.

She said they shouldn't be used interchangeably. I guess I hadn't really thought of them as two distinct words, even. She is British, by the way. Is there a difference between American and British usage?" Answer: Thanks for the question! You've gotten a little ahead of me here, so let's backtrack a second. "Alternate," with a long "A" sound in the third syllable, is a verb meaning "to occur in turn repeatedly." It can also be an adjective with more or less the same meaning – you're probably most familiar with "alternating current," or "AC," which is how electricity is supplied to your home and iPhone and various other gadgets. (Take that, Edison!) "Alternative," on the other hand, can be a noun or an adjective meaning "one or more things available as another possibility." An important part of the definition is that the things are mutually exclusive. In other words, it's one or the other. Both words share a root in the Latin alternare, meaning "interchange," but their modern-day meanings have diverged in British English. In American English, however, since we like to break the rules, "alternate" has come to be used colloquially to mean "available as another choice" – thus gaining a new adjectival and noun form. The big point of contention is that only North Americans really use "alternate" – short "A" sound in the third syllable, like "alter-nit" – as a noun meaning "a person who acts as a substitute." In America, the runner-up in a competition might act as the alternate if the first-place contest can't fulfill their duties. In Britain, they would act as the alternative. So, is it wrong to use "alternatively" and "alternately" interchangeably? It is if you are substituting "alternatively" for "alternately." Flip that around, though, and modern usage puts you in the clear – at least in the good ol' U.S.A. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for The Southside Times. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at [email protected]. Sugar is like a drug NUTRITION By Chef Wendell Fowler Sugar is an addictive drug, friends. We eat it, drink it, and probably snort it. “60 Minutes” Sonja Gupta, respected institutions, and medical experts argue that the way Americans eat sugar today, a human toxin enabling a variety of largely preventable disease, hits your brain like crack cocaine triggering your brain’s pleasure centers producing dopamine. Weeeee!! The FTC reports Big Food spends $10 billion a year marketing sugary soda, fast food and cereal to youth ages 2–17. How unfortunate. Eating too much is the problem. Americans consume a whopping quarter to a half pound of sugar a day. Up against the wall! Fresh research from the Harvard School of Public Health incriminates processed sugar as direct cause childhood obesity which can lead to early heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Even diet soda has been connected to heart disease. What a tangled web. To dose down on sugars, avoid beet or invert sugar and any label ingredient ending in “ose.” The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugars to 100 calories a day for women and 150 calories a day for men. That’s 6 tsp. and 9 tsp., respectively. One red Coke has 13 tsps. If you're trying to get off sugar, “Rapid Grow” for cancer cells, you may be turning to artificial sweeteners and substitutes. Table sugar isn’t the only felon. Sugar goes by many names on food labels, including corn syrup, dextrose, fruit juice, glucose, maltodextrin, maltose and molasses. The American Heart Association (AHA) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) have given a ‘cautious nod’ to the use of artificial sweeteners in place of sugar to combat obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes, all risk factors for heart disease. Healthier sugar Alternatives: raw honey, Sweet Leaf brand stevia, coconut or date sugar, xylitol, maple syrup and raisins. Please avoid diabolical high fructose corn syrup. Agave is not a “whole” food. It’s fractionated and processed. Poisonous Aspartame is a neurotoxin linked to fibromyalgia, cancer, diabetes and psychological disorders, vision problems and brain damage. Really? Splenda is highly processed-perceived alien by your temple’s intelligence. Sucralose is unnatural too. Sweet n’ Low-(Saccharin) is a byproduct of coal tar processed with chlorine and ammonia. Deceptive Stevia in the Raw’s first ingredient is high glycemic maltodextrin. Pass. A better approach to sugar rehab is to promote the consumption of whole foods from the heavenly apothecary. You’re worthy. Chef Wendell Fowler is a nutritionist and motivational presenter.

Unlike many vegetables with a peak season that comes and goes, sweet potatoes can be found at your local grocery store year round with a consistent quality and freshness. With virtually no fat and low in sodium, sweet potatoes, or yams, fit perfectly into a low-carb lifestyle, with major nutritional bonuses to boot. In addition to being a source of vitamin B-6, iron, potassium and fiber, the sweet potato provides twice the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A and more than one-third of the requirements for vitamin C. Sweet potatoes also rank significantly lower than white potatoes in the glycemic index, which explains why many carb-counting diets encourage substituting sweet potatoes for white potatoes. Creamy Smoked Sweet Potato Soup Winner in the “Fresh” Category Servings: 6–8 Courtesy of Samantha Foglesong, New Orleans, La. • 4 extra-large sweet potatoes (about 5 pounds) • 4 cups seafood stock • 2 cups heavy whipping cream • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked free of shells • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives Prepare smoker to 200°F. Smoke sweet potatoes 2 1/2–3 hours. Let cool, and peel. In large Dutch oven, combine sweet potatoes, stock and cream. Blend on high speed with an immersion blender until smooth. Heat over medium heat, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, then cinnamon and nutmeg. Strain mixture through fine-mesh sieve into large bowl; discard solids. In medium bowl, combine crab, lemon juice, red pepper, remaining salt, butter and chives. Divide soup among bowls and top with crab mixture.
