ASCSeniorCare.com “Where caring people make the difference!” Perry Township Monthly Perry’s Jared Ribar earns Eagle Scout Jared Ribar, 18, of Perry Township, has received Scouting’s highest rank of Eagle Scout. Ribar, a member of Troop 461, chartered by the LDS Church, graduated from Hoosier Academy in 2014, and has been involved in Scouting for seven years. Ribar achieved the Eagle rank after demonstrating leadership as assistant patrol leader and senior patrol leader before completing his Eagle project. For his Eagle Scout Service Project, Ribar and his volunteer team constructed four, eight-foot picnic tables to transform an unused grassy area into a break space for police, first responders and support staff at the IMPD Training Academy. Ribar and his group also cleaned and organized the sports courts where riot training is conducted. There were about 32 volunteers who dedicated hours of service to assist Ribar in completing his service project from Dec. 23, 2014, until Jan. 3, 2015.

The Great Cloth Diaper Change is at it again, aiming for even more parents and babies to participate on April 18, 11 a.m. “More and more people are learning about cloth diapers so they’re switching over,” said Donna Reintjes, owner of Growing Spurts Kids Clothes at 1001 N. State Rd. 135, Greenwood. “People tell their friends and get them on board. Raising awareness is what this is about. It’s keeping diapers out of the landfills. It saves money and they’re cute.” Growing Spurts will be a host again this year, with the event taking place at Southport Church of the Nazarene, 920 E. Southport Rd., Indianapolis. Registration is from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. Reintjes recommends participants to come early, as the first 80 will receive free ‘swag bags’ filled with goodies for the babies. Door prizes will also be given. Vendors will have booths set up, food and drinks will be available and a surprise popular children’s character will attend. Proceeds from any event support The Real Diaper Association, a volunteer organization which raises awareness of cloth diapers in the U.S. and Canada. This is the fifth year for the worldwide Great Cloth Diaper Change. The event, which takes place on Earth Day, is designed to not only break a world record, but raise awareness of the economic and environmental benefits of cloth diapers. Parent participants must be 18 or older, with a baby 39” tall or less, and bring a reusable cloth diaper to change into at the event. “It was a big hit last year. A lot of people enjoyed it,” Reintjes said. “I look forward to hopefully having more participants.” Above: Donna Reintjes, has a display of prizes to be given away during the Great Cloth Diaper Exchange at her shop, Growing Spurts Kids Clothes, 1001 N.

The front parking area of the library will be closed as crews demolish and repave the parking lot and repair/replace sidewalks. The Meridian Street entrance will be closed. Patrons may enter through the Madison Street entrance and park on the Madison Street (west) side of the building. The sidewalk and front entrance will remain open during most of the project. Alternate entrances may be used when the front sidewalks are redone, and signs will direct patrons. Students walking from the Junior High and from Our Lady of Greenwood must walk to the Madison Street side of the building as even pedestrian traffic will not be possible from the Meridian Street side. This project is funded by a partnership with the City of Greenwood and the Redevelopment Commission. face to face Q: Next week is national volunteer week; have you volunteered in your community recently? "No, not recently but I plan to start inJune when I retire. I'm interested in working with a nursing home and I'm looking at volunteering at Community East." "I have been doing dog rescue for eight years and I will continue to do that. There is a need to help and assist dogs that are found on the streets. We educate as well on spaying and neutering, microchipping and keeping pets healthy. Linda Wire, works It is important to help the in Beech Grove animals of this world as well as people." Pamela Carter, works in Perry Township "I volunteer for Relay for Life, (Susan G.) Komen (for the Cure), and well as the Arthritis Foundation which will be with Greenwood Meadows. I’ll be partnering up with them. For Relay for Life we will be doing a Mary Kay / Bingo event to raise money our goal is to raise $1,000. It will be at the VFW at Greenwood on Washington Street. I volunteer for Relay for Life and Komen because my family has had a lot of cancer. I have lost aunts, uncles, and both my father and step-father to cancer. I just recently got in touch with the Arthritis Foundation through Greenwood Meadows and this will be my first year with them." Rebecca Witherell of Perry Township "I'm Catholic and I volunteer at my church. I volunteer for the Beech Grove school system for Paul Kaiser and Steve Cox. I'm very supportive of kids and young adults and I help them any way I can." Let your voice be heard! Joe Wolfla, works in Beech Grove Visit us online and post your community news! facebook.com/ TheSouthsideTimes People in our community continue to struggle to pay their bills and put food on their tables. I am pleased to announce that Hunger Inc. has joined forces with the Meijer Simply Give food pantry donation program this spring to help fill that void for our local families. Hunger Inc. will benefit from donation cards purchased at the Southport Meijer store March 29 through May 11. When customers at the Southport Meijer purchase a $10 pantry donation card, it will be given to Hunger Inc. and the Southport Meijer store will match every donation. As an added bonus Southport Meijer will double the match of every $10 pantry donation card purchased on April 17 and April 18. I want to encourage you to help us fulfill our mission of helping feed the hungry in Perry Township and Beech Grove by purchasing a food donation card during your next shopping trip to Southport Meijer. Please tell your friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers because every dollar makes a difference. And when we give, Meijer gives. For the fourth consecutive year, Meijer will contribute at least $1 million to over 200 food pantries in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. We are grateful for this program as it allows us to help serve those who need food in Perry Township and Beech Grove. In 2014, Hunger Inc. was able to help feed over 14,000 people. This business serves everyone! RFRA issue is unsettling We shouldn't have to display signs like these to reassure the public. Simply put, you open a business to do business with all. If you want to pick and choose, it's a hobby, no longer a business. Businesses grow and prosper when we celebrate our diversity and customer service. There simply isn't any other way to succeed. The arrogance of a "super majority" has damaged a community that, up to now, was making great strides in showing the world that "Indianoplace" and "Naptown" was old news and no longer defined us. Please make every effort to Shop Local and help our businesses work past these difficult times. Joan Miller GSBA/GSCA We recently moved back to the midwest after having spent many decades in Miami. The whole RFRA issue was very unsettling to us especially since we were not quite sure where folks within our new community may fall out on it. You have no idea how wonderful/refreshing and quite pleasing it was to see your editorial view in the April 2-8 issue of The Southside Times. Thank you for taking a stand for tolerance, acceptance and diversity appreciation. Rep. Kirchhofer is to be commended for her brave stance as well. We were disappointed in our own Rep. Speedy.

Visit Indy’s Communications Manager Morgan Greenlee had some interesting stats to share regarding this year’s events compared to the 2010 tournament. “This year we had an estimated 70,000 attendees with an estimated economic impact of $70.8 million,” Greenlee said. While official numbers are still being calculated by the NCAA, these figures are way above what we saw in 2010 (60,000 attendees and $50 million). "It just goes to show you; despite the rest of the nation’s best efforts to paint Indiana in a negative light, we shine bright and proud through it all, undeterred." “We even broke a record for Saturday night’s semi-finals—there were 72,238 fans filling Lucas Oil Stadium that evening,” Greenlee said. “There was also an increase in ancillary events this year—the Fan Fest and musical guests— so that definitely helped.” We’re excited to host the women’s Final Four in 2016 and can’t wait to see what we put together for 2021. It just goes to show you; despite the rest of the nation’s best efforts to paint Indiana in a negative light, we shine bright and proud through it all, undeterred. BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.… In North Carolina, a bill has been passed that restricts local planning agencies’ ability to use climate change science to predict sea-level rise. -dumblaws.com The Southside Times welcomes letters to the editor in good taste.

With one day remaining before the annual fleecing by the IRS, it’s interesting to us that among the burning topics late last week was this: Hillary Rodham Clinton, who we and the rest of the free world believe will declare for the Democratic presidential race, is being defended by women that consider it sexist to refer to her by her first name. “I think it generally cheapens the image of the candidate,” one wag said last week. Yeah, it’s right up there with Benghazi and personal email accounts. We’re not certain how Clinton prefers to be addressed, but we will defer to the journalistic style of our times and use her full name on first reference, last name on subsequent mentions. This ranks right up there with defending our borders, shrinking government and dialing back spending. It’s interesting to us that Clinton’s team has mobilized a Ready for Hillary super-PAC effort. It’s not too sexist, we suppose, to ask for campaign donations for a first-name-candidate. We further suppose being referred to by her first name beats the tar out of how her husband, former president William Jefferson Clinton, was called Slick Willie. Still, it would be along the same lines of references to Teddy (Theodore Roosevelt), Silent Cal (Calvin Coolidge), Ike (Dwight Eisenhower) and Ronnie (Ronald Reagan). In our view, it is not sexist and this is much ado about absolutely nothing. Still, as we await word from on high as to how we’re expected to address Clinton, we offer these suggestions: former senator, former secretary of state, Bill’s wife, high priestess, her majesty and/or her royal highness (even though the latter two are reserved for a monarchy, which, come to think of it…). “Part of the rap about (Clinton) has been she’s not accessible and she’s not warm or friendly. This makes her a real person,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “(Hillary) has become part of the vernacular.” (Dear readers: On April 10, 2013, I suffered a heart attack that led to a triple bypass and a few weeks at St. Francis Hospital. All-in-all it was an experience I'd rather not repeat. ) 10. April 10, 2013 was also the last time I smoked. People ask me how I quit so easily. ... Gee, I don't know, maybe it was knowing how close those cigarettes came to killing me. That's pretty good inspiration. 9. Most folks worry about the medical issues. I'm still bugged by knowing a lot of people saw me naked and none of them asked to see me again. 8. All things being equal I think I most appreciated the free WiFi and cable TV movies. 7. I now have a horrible fear of having anything pressing on my chest. This keeps me from working under my truck and has really ticked off my cat that had to change her sleep program. 6. The doctor says I have to watch my cholesterol. I really miss juicy hamburgers but my pet pig is happy to no longer smell bacon cooking.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.” ~ Jane Addams 5. I miss bacon. People tell me to eat turkey bacon. I've said it before - turkey bacon is neither turkey nor bacon. 4. Whoever claims yogurt is as good as sour cream probably thinks light beer is as good as real beer. 3. The biggest disappointment with being a member of the "Zipper Club" is that it's difficult to make up a good story about where the scar came from. 2. Sorry. Still not gonna be a track star. I can't run and look silly in shorts. 1. I have come to appreciate things a lot more. Like my wife, family and salt-free condiments. 6 COMMUNITY Week of April 9-15, 2015 • ss-times.com Eurydice The Southside Times A retelling of the myth of Orpheus in modern times through the eyes of its heroine.

By Rick Hinton One usually equates Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, sightings to remote mountainous regions in the West – not to the Hoosier state. After all, this is Indiana; it is not immediately thought of as a hotbed of cryptid encounters… or is it? Believe it or not, Indiana has had its fair share of Bigfoot sightings throughout the years, continuing into present time. It would seem these critters know no boundaries, resulting in many scratching their heads and intellect over a puzzling mystery of not only folk tales from the past, but continued sightings in the present that defy any type of rational explanation. Bigfoot fits into the designated term “paranormal” as it should: something that is beyond the scope and comprehension of normal day-to-day life. Is “paranormal” a term of necessity? Most likely. Who really knows what we are being confronted with here? Nocturnal in nature, Bigfoot has been described as a large and lumbering ape-like being covered in dark brown or reddish hair. It has facial features resembling that of a gorilla and most often is accompanied by a foul odor. It produces the occasional primate-like wail and the sound of banging on a tree, yet in a rhythmic cadence. In its wake, it leaves behind rather large footprints and sometimes claw marks on trees. In the western regions of the United States, this could easily be written off to the antics of bears. In Indiana, not so much! Those who spend time in the outdoors — hikers, campers, hunters, fishermen and personnel of the DNR — seem to be the ones to have frequent run-ins with these mythical creatures. Scientists, not willing to take such claims at face value, discount the existence of Bigfoot, citing these stories to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax. Morgan Monroe State Forest, just south of Martinsville, appears to be the place to go for your own personal Bigfoot encounter (along with ghostly shenanigans in Stepp Cemetery). This is one big mysterious forest housing secrets! In 2012 the second season of the cable network Animal Planet show "Finding Bigfoot" sent its team to Morgan Monroe to wrestle with this enigma. Is there really more to all of this than just folklore? Many believe that there is. Speculation is authorities may cover up the sightings and resulting evidence because of the affect it would have on the general population and the tourism business. I have heard similar rationale on UFO sightings. For more information check into the “Indiana Bigfoot” page on Facebook.

Having served as a reserve police officer on the Southport Police Department for three years, he said he’s learned a lot by working with the ‘city within a city.’ “I love the job,” Williams said. “It’s 98 percent mundane kind of things and two percent where the adrenaline is going. I like that. I like being ready for that.” Williams, a Greenwood High School graduate, currently resides in Perry Township. When he’s not with the SPD, he works as a contractor. What has been one of your most gratifying on the job? Any time there is a positive outcome involving kids. A lot of the time where we’re involved, it’s a negative situation for someone. If there’s a child that gets the help they need, kids always seem very grateful. What aspect of the job do you find most challenging? The constant pressure, with everything that’s happened recently, it seems everyone has a negative impression of the police. All of the training in the world doesn’t make me any less afraid to not go home at night. AROUND TOWN CGHS student competes in regional, state science fairs Center Grove High School sophomore Rachel Chan competed at the Central Indiana State Science & Engineering Fair held on the campus of Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis on March 21, 2015. Rachel qualified to compete at the state level after being chosen at the regional at Marian University March 7. Rachel was one of 23 students chosen to attend the national science fair in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as an observer in early May. BEHIND the BADGE What was your inspiration to become a police officer? I really just fell into it. I always knew I could never work a desk job or where you’re doing the same thing over and over. I started in loss prevention, met a lot of officers and decided that’s the way I wanted to go. The Southside Times Rachel Chan Jeff Cardwell elected Indiana Republican Party chairman What do you enjoy doing in your off-time? I love being in the woods; hunting, fishing, shooting, sports, camping, hiking. If I can’t do any of that, I play video games and read a lot. Indiana Republican State Committee members elected Jeff Cardwell to serve as state party chairman. Gov. Mike Pence recommended Cardwell to fill the leadership post left by former Chairman Tim Berry who resigned earlier this month. In 2013, Cardwell was appointed as a senior advisor and special assistant to the governor. Pence appointed him in 2012 to serve as the executive director of the Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives. In 2007, Cardwell was elected to the Indianapolis City-County Council and was re-elected again in 2011. Cardwell serves as president and CEO of Do-it Best Home Center. He is involved with The Fuller Center for Housing and Habitat for Humanity, and he helped establish the Jeff Cardwell People Helping People Network, a not-for-profit charitable organization. Cardwell is co-president of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Motorcycle Drill Team, a member of the Kiwanis Club of Indianapolis and Grace Assembly of God of Greenwood. He resides in Indianapolis with his wife, Cheryl, and they have three children. What are your future goals, professionally or personally? I’m hoping to make sergeant. I was promoted to corporal about six months ago. I hope to keep advancing my career. What would you have done if you hadn't of became a police officer? I probably would have opened my own firearms training company or gun shop. If I wasn’t doing this, I think I’d have to be my own boss.

GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG Beech Grove City Council Greenwood Common Council Meeting, April 6 Meeting, April 6 n What happened? Ordinances 3 and 4-2015 were approved on second reading. n What it means: Ordinance 3 relates to the personnel manual, relating to sick leave. Use of sick leave was amended to add that no sick day will be charged to full-time employees if exposed/injured during time of employment. Ordinance 4 concerns health insurance guidelines within the personnel manual, relating to employees who have become disabled as a result of their employment. The city established rules for what it will and will not cover. n What’s next? The ordinances will go for third and final reading at the May council meeting. n What happened? Ordinance No. 15-17, which would “amend the official zoning map adopted by reference in zoning ordinance No. 82-1” (regarding land at the southeast corner of S.R. 135 and Stones Crossing Road) was amended and passed, 8-0. n What it means: Several parcels of land near the aforementioned corridor were to be rezoned to allow for new economic development. A concern brought to the attention of the council by Council Member Brent Corey, was that the rezoning would permit potentially unattractive developments—particularly self-storage facilities. “I’m adamant that we need better design standards in Greenwood,” Corey said. “I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes that were made in the past.” n What’s next: The new language of the amended ordinance will be made available and the 34.4-acre area will be rezoned. n What happened? Ordinances 6, 7 and 8-2015 were approved on first reading. n What it means: Each ordinance pertains to a separate section of the city’s employee manual. Ordinance 6 relates to special leave, concerning time off for bereavement. Fulltime employees will be granted up to three days to attend the funeral of an immediate family member, as specified in the ordinance. Ordinance 7 establishes residency requirements for full-time employees; they must reside in Marion County or a county surrounding (touching) Marion County. Ordinance 8 establishes new minimum call-in standards. Fulltime employees who are called into work in an emergency situation will receive at least three hours pay or time spent. n What’s next? Ordinances will go for second reading at the May council meeting. n In brief... • Stewart Wilson was nominated to serve on the Greenscape Commission. ss-times.com • Week of April 9-15, 2015 Spring Community YARD SALE APRIL 24th from 9am-1pm Join us at our Community Yard Sale on Friday, April 24, from 9-1 and discover hidden treasures and great savings!

Photos by Nicole Davis Right and on the cover: Madison Hines, of Greenwood, practices her choreography for Music Man. The Southside Times ‘Ya got trouble’ More than 100 youth rehearse for April performance of Music Man through Center Grove Fine Arts Academy FOCUS By Nicole Davis More than 100 youth ages 8 to 18 auditioned for Center Grove Fine Arts Academy’s Music Man to be performed in April, for which Director Kathy Phipps says they decided to cast them all. To give everyone a chance to perform, Phipps says they double-casted the speaking parts and increased the number of performances from one weekend to two. “It’s an amazing thing to hear 100 children singing,” Phipps says. “The group numbers are so powerful. It’s such a beautiful sound. It will be an enjoyable evening.” CGFAA, through Center Grove Church, hosted its first-ever musical, Godspell, last July with 30 youth auditioning. They hosted Shrek the Musical in November with 60 auditioning. That cast was approximately 50. CGFAA will present Music Man with its largest cast on April 17-19 and 24-26, Fridays at 7 p.m.; Saturdays at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sundays at 3:30 p.m. at the church, 340 S. State Rd. 135, Greenwood. Cost of admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children. “Music Man is a classic golden-age musical show that many people have grown up loving,” Phipps says. “The music is beautiful. The story is great and the music is great. It’s some of the best music that’s ever been written for musical theatre. We’ve done two newer shows and thought it would be a good fit to do a more classic show.” There are 15 speaking parts for the musical, all except one double-casted. Phipps says it has taken a lot of preplanning to have 85 people on stage for each performance. Center Grove Church is filled with the actors/actresses preparing for their lines, rehearsing the choreography, working on costumes and other aspects of the show. “There is a real need for performing arts opportunities in our area,” Phipps says. “There are many talented singers, actors and dancers… There are talented young people eager to have the opportunity to learn more about theatre and grow more in the performing arts. It’s very gratifying to see that we can meet a need that obviously needs to be there.” The show’s performers have come from all around Central Indiana, including New Palestine, Fishers, Morgantown and more. The students say they share in not only their love of theatre, but the environment that CGFAA has provided. “This is my second show,” says Madison Hines, of Greenwood, who plays a dancer. “Once I got here, all the people were so nice. It’s almost like a giant family. Right away, you are included. It’s nice to have this community right away.” Cast members rehearse six hours a day, two days a week. Hines says while learning the choreography and singing have been challenging, it’s all worth it when they get to see the audience’s reaction during performance time. “When the curtain goes up, you are amazed at how it all comes together,” says Mikaela Smith, a Perry Township, Indianapolis resident who will dance and play the character Maud. “It’s a family-friendly and a wonderful environment. There are scenes that everyone will enjoy. We go around the audience. The audience is a part of the show.” IN OUR SCHOOLS The Southside Times ss-times.com • Week of April 9-15, 2015 PAROCHIAL Missionary visits Nativity Catholic School Sister Loretto Emenog, a missionary from Africa, recently visited Nativity Catholic School. She came to tell the school children that they can be missionaries right here at home. She reminded the students that obeying their parents, doing well in school, and being kind to friends is their mission. She discussed that many of the children she worked with did not have parents, enough to eat or a comfortable place to sleep. She said many of these children could not attend school. She asked each of the students to say the following simple prayer every night or morning, “Thank you, Jesus.” The school plans on having a service project to help the Holy Childhood Association next fall. This is the association the Sister Loretto works closely with, and the students look forward to contributing to it. Pictured, Sister Loretto talks about her work in Africa.

The Southside Times NIGHT & DAY While We’re Young… well-written, intelligent and insightful MOVIE REVIEW By Adam Staten People are creatures of habit. Like most, you probably have a morning routine in order to get ready for the day. Routines are familiar, safe, and in an odd way, comforting. However, the slightest deviation from a daily routine can cause your entire day to spiral out of control. Change is always a scary thing and most fear change because it’s new, unexpected, and different than anything that has been experienced. The new film, While We’re Young, starring Ben Stiller, looks at this idea of change and how lives can be completely altered from one unexpected encounter. While We’re Young stars Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts as a middle-aged couple who are stuck in a rut of sorts. They never go on vacation, the only time they go out is to eat with their one pair of friends, and Stiller’s character has been working on the same documentary for 10 years. To top it off, they no longer fit in with couples their own age and they are too old to relate to couples much younger than them. Soon enough, along comes a seemingly innocent couple that completely turns Stiller’s and Watts character’s lives upside down. Without a doubt, the shinning star of the film is the writing. While We’re Young is an intelligent, fresh and insightful take on change, finding oneself, and society’s obsession with EntertainmentDISPATCH Indy Eleven season home opener April 11 After drawing their first match of the spring season against the Atlanta Silverbacks, 1-1, Indy Eleven return to Michael A. Carroll Track & Soccer Stadium Saturday night, April 11 at 7:30 p.m. to face the New York Cosmos.

The film deserves much credit for never hitting the viewer over the head with any one topic. Instead, the film is written in a way that does not insult the intelligence of the audience, but rather allows the viewer to put together the meaning of the film with a subtlety that is appreciated. All four of the main characters are so well developed that you feel as if you know these characters or know someone very similar to the people on screen. As far as the performances are concerned, there is not a weak one given from anyone in the cast. Stiller, the main character, is very, very good as a documentary filmmaker who has never reached his potential. However, Watts steals the show as Stiller’s equally lost and completely and totally relatable film producer wife. While We’re Young is a terrific little film about what happens when we’re forced to deal with change and the repercussions of those decisions. It’s superbly written and directed. It’s easily one of the best films of 2015 so far. 4 out of 5. BEHIND BARS Bartender: Bonnie Humphress Location: The Dugout Bar, 621 Virginia Ave. in Fountain Square.

DISPATCHES Fun Facts from National Geographic Photo by David Hawgood Creative Commons Usage 18 Geese and goslings in an English canal, showing formation. "CANADA GEESE usually graze together in fields, eating grasses, sedges, grains, and berries. Their bills have serrated edges, which helps them cut tough grass stems. These birds also feast on aquatic vegetation. When eating in water, they “tip up,” reaching underwater and tearing water plants with their heads beneath the surface and their rear ends sticking up in the air. Male geese fight one another to win a particular female. The winning male gets the female as a mate, and the pair may stay together for life. The female of the pair picks a good spot to make her nest. She finds a place—always near water—which is isolated and a little higher than anything right around it. The female makes her nest of dry grasses, twigs, and other plant material. She uses her body to shape the nest into a bowl.The baby geese, called goslings, take about a month to hatch. Babies are covered with soft feathers called down. They hatch with their eyes open and will leave the nest within 24 hours, following their parents. Goslings can swim right away. In less than two months, the goslings grow adult feathers and learn to fly." For more fun facts, visit kids.nationalgeographic.com Joke of the Week Q: Why was the man running around his bed?

KIDS QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Play is our brain's favorite way of learning.” ~ Diane Ackerman Answers see Page 27 The Southside Times LIFESTYLE Garbage in, garbage out NUTRITION By Chef Wendell Fowler In our busy, complicated world, it’s tough knowing where to begin when embarking on a journey towards optimum health. To live a healthy, happy life, we need to keep it simple and take small steps every day to promote health and help support our temple from the inside out. Then give a hardy self-pat on the back for a job well done. A sweet lady recently told me her doctor instructed her to increase her calorie intake by drinking a red can of full-sugar coke. I almost had a stroke – broke my heart. That’s grounds for malpractice considering the rock solid facts that Coke’s ingredients are cancerous, feed diabetes, bone loss and blunts the immune system. Way to go Doc. This is a part of why Indiana consistently ranks 41st unhealthiest in America. Garbage in, garbage out. Let’s begin with calories: Calories are the energy in food. The more active you are, the more you need. When you’re less active, you need fewer. But, no one mentions the quality of said calories. All calories are not created equal. A 100-calorie candy bar pales to 100 highly-nourishing calories from a portion of avocado or sweet potato. According to ChooseMyPlate.gov, empty-calorie foods contribute a lot of calories to your daily intake without adding many beneficial nutrients. Listen to your body: Young children are good at listening to their little bodies. They eat when they're hungry and stop when full – my dogs, too. But adults may ignore these ‘signals’ and keep eating after they’re, burp, full, or they may eat because they're bored or upset. Your temple uses these signals to tell you when and how much to eat. Slow down: Your brain doesn't immediately register that your stomach is full, you may be at risk of eating more than your body needs and getting too full if you are prone to eating quickly or on-thego. You can reduce your calorie intake if you focus on slowing down and enjoying every bite of food during meal. (Livestrong.com) Chef Wendell Fowler is a nutritionist and motivational presenter.

As the default style guide newspaper, magazine and TV writers adhere to the in U.S., there's a high probability you'll be seeing some of these changes soon. Here are some of the more noteworthy updates: 1. BLT is now acceptable on first reference for a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Which senior editor at the Associated Press has been sticking to his guns on this until 2015 – and how long does it take him to order lunch? 2. The stylebook finally has an entry for "meme." YTMND launched in 2001, guys. With this and the BLT thing … you're not exactly on the bleeding edge of the culture, AP. 3. You'll be seeing "animal welfare activist" instead of "animal rights activist" from now on. 4. Kathmandu will now be spelled Kathmandu instead of, you know, however else we were spelling it. 5. This one I really like: There is now an entry chiding sportswriters for all the terrible clichés they use. I'm just going to excerpt it in its entirety: "A team losing a game is not a 'disaster.' Home runs are homers, not 'dingers,' 'jacks' or 'bombs.' A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 'unanswered' points. If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn't come back, say it 'never trailed' rather than 'never looked back.' In short, avoid hackneyed words and phrases, redundancies and exaggerations." 6. That being said, they've added "parking the bus" as an acceptable description of a team packing its defense to protect a lead. 7. On a more serious note, the stylebook now advises against using the phrase "execution-style" to describe killings. 8. "Favorite" is now a verb – as in clicking that star button on Twitter and then never looking at the tweet again. 9. "Craft brewery" is now the preferred term instead of "microbrewery." 10. Last one: Ulan Bator is out. Ulaanbaatar is in. Should make your upcoming trip to Mongolia a lot smoother. Those are the big ones. Nothing so controversial this year as in 2014, when they decided "more than" and "over" could be used interchangeably. I'm still waiting on a response to my angry letter on that one… Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for The Southside Times. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@ gmail.com.

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." ~ Matthew 5:14-16 Light. Define it for me. It is a lot like time; it just is there for us to enjoy or hate or deal with. Light is the product of expended energy, for everywhere there is light there must be an energy being spent to produce it. It is either the sun during the day or the stars at night. Actually the moon does not count even though it is called the lesser light that rules the night because it only gives off a light that is a reflection of another light. I believe that is us as we give off the pure light of the gospel day. What we can share with others is what is given us from the Son of God. In that way alone, we are the lesser light reflecting the greater light that rules the day. In reference to this light, we are also called "candles" emitting light to the others in the "house." Did you know that the word "house" is another way to express the church? We share our "candlelight" with all who are in the "house" with us and, we are specifically told not to hide it under a bushel. The bushel to me is an expression of the things that can cause us to want to hide the light within us. Those things that make us ashamed to be known as the "house" of God. This world of our peer puts pressure on us to be silent about those great things of Christ at work within us. The world would just as soon we keep them to ourselves but we cannot lest we ourselves fall into disfavor with God. Sometimes discouragement gets in the way of our light. Dark can never prevail against light-nev- er! Where the light is set out to shine into the darkness, darkness has to flee. God provided us light from the first day of creation. He keeps on giving us light but the light we can live in today is much greater than the light of that first day. The light of our life is Jesus Christ. He was the light in the beginning; He has been with God and is God. (John 1:1) This Light is the life of men and without it men cannot truly live. Be light today. Shine wherever you are. Let that light of Christ shine, yes shine in and out from you. God bless and go and have a great day. Paul A. Kirby is the pastor at the Church of God at 3939 S.

Be Aware and Share! April is Autism Awareness month. Research has proven that early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); however, because all children grow and develop differently, it can be difficult to identify delays with certainty. That’s why Hopebridge Pediatric Specialists offers autism diagnostic services and ABA therapy to enhance language and communication skills; play and social interaction; academics and independent living. If you are concerned that your child may be missing developmental milestones, visit www.hopebridge.com, or call us with all your questions. Now open in Greenwood! Call 317.449.2104. Other Indiana clinic locations include Kokomo, Fort Wayne and Marion. Find them all at www.hopebridge.com. Toll-Free 855.324.0885 | www.hopebridge.com |
