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.”

OUR VIEW
HUMOR
Good to be
Greenwood
Earlier this week Greenwood Mayor Mark
Myers made his fourth State of the City address at a Chamber-sponsored event hosted
by Valle Vista. 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.

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?

LOVE at FIRST SIGHT
Southside sweethearts share stories of their first encounters
with one another in recognition of Valentine’s Day
COVER STORY
By Nicole Davis
Valentine’s Day is here again, and we’ve
found some of the best love stories on the
Southside to share. 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.

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.”

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.

A hitchhiker is offered a ride. The hitchhiker is silent and has an unworldly appearance

they offer an address and are quiet for the rest
of the ride. Upon arrival the driver is shocked
to find their passenger has vanished! Instead
of peeling away at top speed, the driver decides to inquire at the address. This is what
gives the final whammy to the tale: the driver is told by the confused and weeping homeowner that the hitchhiker either left home to
never return or had died and was buried in
a nearby cemetery. A produced photo of the
spectral passenger turns out to be the hitchhiker in the back seat.

the “Lady in Black.”
There have been sightings of a “Lady in
White” prowling about outside the fence of
Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. In the
realm of urban legends, the Vanishing Hitchhiker and The Graveyard Watcher will occasionally merge. “The Lady in White” will hitch
a ride from unsuspecting drivers on West
38th Street to a residence nearby. The results
are the same. It always turns out she is buried
in Crown Hill.

music downloads, magazine downloads, online
renewals and holds, ‘text-a-librarian,’ and much
more. 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. It’s a place
to study...Our door count is not going down.”

More than 80 parents and children attend
Greenwood annual Valentine’s Day dance
FOCUS
By Nicole Davis
Greenwood hosted its annual Valentine’s
Day dance for parents and children on the
evening of Feb. 6. 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. For more information, visit greenwood.in.gov.

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.

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.

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-

son, which is explained way too late into the
film for anyone to care, Tom has a special ability to combat the dark forces.
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.

The scoop: The name for this unique Center

source, an ISTEP test question which told

a fried egg, bacon, and ham drizzled with

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,

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.”

What's your soul worth?
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.

'Alternately' and 'alternatively'
GRAMMAR GUY
By Jordan Fischer
Question: "Dear Grammar Guy, my
friend told me the other day that I was
using 'alternatively' and 'alternately'
wrong. 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.

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.

Sweet Potatoes:
The versatile vegetable
RECIPE
For The Southside Times by Family Features
If you’re looking for a little variety to spice
up your life, cooking with a versatile veggie
such as the sweet potato may give your menu
the satisfying kick you crave, along with a
healthy dose of the nutrients your body needs.
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.
