A bronze plaque with the words “Southport State Bank” is now mounted to its original place at 2201 E. Southport Rd., revealed during a dedication ceremony on April 17. Dozens of Perry Township residents, city officials and state officials joined as the City of Southport and Perry Township Historical Society honored the bank and the impact it had when it was a thriving business in Southport. Southport Mayor Jesse Testruth began the April 17 dedication by discussing how the plaque was discovered. The plaque caught attention from the City of Southport and the Perry Township Historical Society at Christy’s Auction during a 2014 estate sale. Senator Brent Waltz dedicated the plaque, informing of the history of the bank. Southport State Bank was originally owned by Jack Whalen. On June 11, 1956, the bank was robbed of $66,546, the second largest robbery in Indiana history at that time. The suspect, Roy Rudolph Drake, was arrested two days later.

Cornerstone Autism Center: A foundation for progress By Cornerstone Autism Center Since we opened our first center in 2010, it has been Cornerstone’s vision to be a foundation for progress for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our mission is to maximize those who struggle, embrace those who love and fulfill those who serve. Our three centers—in Greenwood, West Lafayette and Columbus—are dedicated to our mission. Our talented staff has provided 1:1 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to over 200 families since our inception. We have watched our clients grow in communication, life skills, motor imitation, social abilities and independence. Our website has a collection of success stories, including 4-year-old Anna talking for the first time and interacting with peers. Cornerstone employs a top-notch team, providing clients with the tools they need to succeed. Our well-trained therapists are all Bachelors’ level or above, led by Masters’ level Board Certified Behavior Analysts. What sets us apart from other ABA providers? For starters, we use iPads to collect data which results in dynamic and fast-moving programs. We never outsource our billing. Cornerstone has an insurance department skilled at everything from checking benefits and securing authorizations to processing claims. In 2011, Cornerstone became the first center in the Indianapolis area to accept Med- icaid. We also have a clinical psychologist on staff that is able to diagnose or rule-out autism in your child. You can schedule an appointment if you are seeing early signs or developmental delays. Cornerstone also offers parent trainings, workshops and support groups. Our parent liaison meets with families to provide individualized resources and support. We host many events during the year, including our Annual Biomedical Conference at our Greenwood location.

Where in the Southside do you think we could use more trees, flowers, greenery, green spaces, trails, ponds, etc.? The Southside Times READERS' WRITES Perry Township schools need a 'Yes' to grow Perry Township’s schools are growing, and while this is good news, the increase in our student population has its challenges. We are bursting at the seams in our elementary schools. They do not have the room to facilitate the number of students currently enrolled or the students who will enroll in the coming years. As a result, students are placed in trailers outside of the school buildings, which presents a number of challenges with instruction and student safety. Furthermore, the quality of our school district direct- "I would like to see more trees in my yard because I have none. I have two tree stumps. The trees died and we cut them down. I do have a bush and little dogwood tree, but it is about to die. I would like to add flowers to the flower bed in my yard, maybe plant some pine or blue spruce trees." Sharon Embry of Perry Township "I think we are blessed in Garfield Park but I think additional greenery along the Shelby Street corridor down to UIndy would be nice. Also I think that we could certainly spruce some things up around the Southside Gateway adding some more shrubs and greenery around there." Dan Sassano of Garfield Park Neighborhood "We need to get rid of the parking lot on the Northwest corner of Madison and Southport Road and turn it into something like an apartment complex or a new Southport library with a greenspace or park. That would be great. It's a big concrete jungle right now." Jan Cooney of Southport "I think the corridor on Madison from 465 south down to Southport Road or even Stop 11 could use more green spaces, some more trees, flowers, shrubs, and things like that. That would be great." Harold Bowling of Perry Township Let your voice be heard! Visit us online and post your community news! facebook.com/TheSouthsideTimes Do you have something to say?

Last week we shared all of the clean-up efforts going on throughout our communities and we wanted to thank everyone for their efforts in keeping the Southside a beautiful place to live. It’s been an enjoyable sight to see more and more folks coming out for evening walks and dining on patios; why can’t it be this nice all year round? In an effort to keep up the positive energy Top ten reasons not to anger Stevie, the waitress at The Ordinary (or any other food server) By Torry Stiles "It’s been an enjoyable sight to see more and more folks coming out for evening walks and dining on patios…" HUMOR The ‘W’ in teams may surprise you By Gus Pearcy and give the atmosphere a little oxygen boost, the City of Greenwood is celebrating Arbor Day by giving out free trees Friday, April 24 from 8 – 10 a.m. and 4:30 – 6 p.m. at Greenwood Community Center (100 Surina Way) and the City Center Parking Lot (Main Street and Madison Avenue). And even if you don’t fancy yourself a green thumb, consider this unattributed Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Besides, soon it’ll be 95°F and you’ll wish you had more shade trees to keep you cool. …………………………………… April is also national poetry month. As supporters of the arts, and a longtime tradition of poets, we encourage everyone to carry a poet in their pocket on April 30. Why something so seemingly silly, you ask? Tradition, of course! Share your poems with us on Twitter with the hashtag #pocketpoem. BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.… Teams. Everything is done in teams. Teamwork is now a side curriculum at nearly every educational institution. No one works alone. It’s a team or nothing. You either learn to contribute to a team or you can’t work anywhere in corporate America. How does stuff get done? Teams. Groups. Partners. It’s not just your workplace, it is everywhere. From your nonprofit to the administration of your daughter’s soccer league. There is no “I” in team. Like no “I”deas, no “I”nnovation and no “I”nspiration. So it could come as no surprise that team dynamics or effective teamwork has been analyzed by a team of scientists. Here is what their team can tell you about your team. First, this may seem counterintuitive, but teams of geniuses can have just as bad outcomes as teams of orangutans. (Please accept my apologies, orangutans of the world.) In other words, smarties combined do not necessarily raise the intelligence level of a team. Smarter teams make better decisions, but genius-loading a team doesn’t make the team smarter as a whole. The same holds true for group satisfaction, group cohesion, or group motivation. None of these raised the collective intelligence of a team. So, if you can’t overload the team with geniuses, what is the best makeup of a team? Women. Studies have shown that teams with more women did better on simulated tasks than teams with more men. Grab a tissue, gentlemen, because the reasons are enough to make you weep. Women have an ability to intuit emotional states better than men, generally. They score higher on tests where one must determine an emotion in another with only the eyes showing. I took the Reading the Mind in the Eyes and I didn’t do very well. Women, in hip language, “feel” the other members. The effect is that the group individuals participate more. Constructive criticism is a regular part of the process. Groups with high social sensitivity also listen to other members. There is a more even participation, rather than a male blowhard with no sensitivity. However, cognitive diversity (i.e. different personalities and different approaches to problem solving) is ultimately good for group intelligence. But participation from all group members and a sensitivity to soft sell the criticism seem to create the best teams. Although sensitive males are out there, the easiest way to achieve this is to include some women. You can’t have a team of all women either. It’s more important to have the diversity, if you want your team to make better decisions. Gus Pearcy is a contributing columnist to The Southside Times.

Since John Mann became commander for the Southeast District of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department in March, he’s spent time listening to the thoughts of residents, neighborhood associations, business owners and faith organizations. His goal is to develop a more in-depth style of policing neighborhoods by adapting their actions to the needs and concerns expressed by the people that live and work in his district. “I want to move away from what people think of the traditional policing model,” Mann said. “In the early days, police officers responded to calls and that’s it. When we start listening to the community, we become more in tune to quality of life issues and how can we help the residents, the businesses with these quality of life issues with policing.” Mann, a Decatur Central High School graduate, graduated from Indiana State University with a Bachelor’s degree in business and Master's in criminology. He said his father was a police officer, and he always viewed police work as a sincere, noble and proud profession. Mann began his career with IMPD at a Southeast District officer in 1992. He has since worked as an arson investigator, crime strategist, with the chief ’s office as an executive officer, among other duties. He graduated from the FBI National Academy and the IMPD Leadership Academy. He resides in the Center Grove area with his wife, Tina. They have four daughters. “I’m lucky that I have the best job in the world,” Mann said. “Really, there’s no better job than being a police officer. It’s fun. You can have an impact. You can find a real meaning in helping people live better lives. I’m fortunate and very humbled and blessed to serve the Southeast district in the capacity that we do.” What was your inspiration to become a police officer? My inspiration for becoming a police officer started with the ability to help people who could not help themselves. Our profession is a very noble profession. Not many people in society can have the privilege to serve a community in a way that our profession allows us to serve... There’s a lot of pride in the job. There’s a lot of pride in the community. To be joined together with the community in a single mission, that’s a great honor. What has been one of your most gratifying on the job? Taking command of the Southeast District. The Southeast district has been my home the last 22 years. To be able to have a direct effect on the residents that I serve has been really gratifying. What aspect of the job do you find most challenging? In public safety, we’re always being asked to do more with less. That can be challenging, working within budgets. Manpower can be challenging. Photo by Nicole Davis John Mann What do you enjoy doing in your off-time? I like to play golf, read and spend time with family. What are your future goals, professionally or personally? I hope to continue to grow within the police department. I hope to grow Southeast District with the community with our outreach programs with our faith community along with our business community. I hope to increase the great partnership that we already enjoy down here with the Southeast District and our residents. What would you have done if you hadn't of became a police officer? My undergrad degree is in business. I would have enjoyed opening my own business of some type. Last resort, I would have been a firefighter. Compiled by Nicole Davis Magic on Main Street Masterson’s COVER STORY Amy Masterson has a passion for her Beech Grove community, volunteering and bringing attractive businesses to the area By Nicole Davis Amy and Mike Masterson recently found their perfect vacation and future retirement home on a Tennessee lakefront. Their search for the home was spotlighted in a 22-minute episode of Lakefront Bargain Hunt, an HGTV program. Although Amy says she looks forward to spending more time at the scenic lakefront, Beech Grove is still where they call home. “I don’t ever see not having Beech Grove nearly 20 years ago as home,” Amy said. “Our children were raised here and one daughter still lives here. My mother lives here now. There’s something very soothing about calling Beech Grove my home. Ultimately I believe everyone in this community wants the same thing: for it to be prosperous, for it to be safe and have old-fashioned values.” Amy and Mike moved to Beech Grove when their children were young, attracted to the city because of Beech Grove City Schools. She became involved in the Parent-Teacher Association at Central Elementary in her first year in the city. She said she saw how her children appreciated the adults taking interest in them and their activities and said it was then that she came to the realization that being involved was more than about family. She continued to serve on PTAs through the high school level. She was a six-year board member of the girls’ softball association. She became a member of the Beech Grove Business Alliance, now Greater Beech Grove Chamber of Commerce, in 2002 after purchasing the first investment property at 7th Avenue and Main Street through Masterson Properties in 2001. “The building at 7th and Main was in a state of semi-disrepair,” Masterson said. “We saw it as an opportunity of preservation. We worked very hard to have the community and our investment pieces of the properties be something we’re proud of. We’ve updated, modernized and repaired and restored almost every aspect and inch of the building. It was built in 1905, so it will last another 100 years." That Main Street property is currently home to The Vault, Celestial Bodies Tattoo, Piercing & Art Gallery, Harlow Rouge Couture, Face It You’re Nailed and coming soon, D’s Taps. “Our goal was to make it a destination place so there was some place to go on Main Street and I think we’ve accomplished that,” Amy said. “We based it off what would we want in a community. Do they have good business ideas and something that would attract other people? It’s all about destination and places that myself or others like me would like to go to.” Celestial Bodies owner Maria Cadaver said Amy was a big influence to the success of opening the business two years ago: April 29, 2013. At that time, the community was hesitant to the idea of having a tattoo shop on Main Street. “This is my first shop,” Maria said. “The first location we lost due to zoning restrictions in the Irvington area... Amy Masterson is the owner of this building. When I came here, she really worked with me, wrote some provisions to the lease that if we lost the zoning, I could get out of the contract. Amy got up and talked (at the zoning meeting) for me and I think that helped sway the vote.” The additional properties that Masterson Properties manages are residential, aside from Maddigan Daniel R DDS on 7th and Main. They recently sold 58 of their 80 condo units, which has left some extra time on Amy’s hands, and she said she’s found a renewed interest in volunteering, especially for nonprofits such as Lifebridge Community in Beech Grove. As she continues to contribute to her community, she says she looks forward to the ongoing growth and opportunities that the city offers. “One of the things I love about Beech Grove and the development of my own business was that I could not have done it without other local business, being Ciriello Plumbing, Lamping/Huser Heating and Cooling, Michael Hughes for electrical and at the time it was Warren Whitaker State farm and now Brian Seyfert. If it wasn’t for their leadership, mentoring and services they provide, I would have gone crazy and jumped ship years ago.” Watch Amy and Mike Masterson on HGTV HGTV’s Lakefront Bargain Hunt, Season 2: Episode 5 Thursday, April 23 at 3:30 p.m. or Friday, May 8 at 6:30 p.m. Visit: watch.hgtv.com While the episode of Lakefront Bargain Hunt featuring Beech Grove residents Amy and Mike Masterson was initially planned to air on April 23, the couple was surprised with an early airing. Season 2: Episode 5 aired April 20, 8 p.m. For those who missed it – the show will air again on April 23, 3:30 p.m. and May 8, 6:30 p.m. or is viewable on watch.hgtv.com. The premise of the show was to follow Amy and Mike as they searched for their ideal home that met their budget and other criteria. The production company followed the couple along with their real estate agent, Beth Ellison of Ellison Realty for four days this past fall. “After the first day, I was absolutely exhausted,” Amy said. “It was more involved Amy and Mike Masterson were filmed for the than I had anticipated. From actually (putting on the microphone) and making sure HGTV show Lakefront Bargain Hunt when that the sound quality and voices could be heard were things I didn’t anticipate need- looking for their vacation and future retirement home in Tennessee. ing to be done. But by the end of the fourth day it seemed second nature.” Photo, HGTV Screen Capture Amy said they are pleased with the way their experience viewing the homes and enjoying the lakefront activities was edited into the episode. “We had a wonderful time with the production group and being able to see houses that would or did meet our criteria. It was beautiful scenery in the fall to be able to do it, with activities that we could take advantage of like paddle boarding and jet skiing.” Left (and on the cover) Amy Masterson purchased her first investment property in Beech Grove at 7th Avenue and Main Street in 2001. She has aimed to transform the area a destination spot.

COMMUNITY The Southside Times ss-times.com • Week of April 23-29, 2015 Spring Community Paranormal investigators wait as the evening sunlight fades gradually into a "world of darkness." Photo by Rick Hinton Darkness falls… HAUNTS & JAUNTS By Rick Hinton A paranormal investigator’s journey into a world of darkness: The southern Kentucky region introduced an inquisitive youth to a realm of possibilities. The ghost stories of family members only added fuel to the fire. And there was of course the darkness! What is it about a rural countryside setting, locked firmly in the grasp of a summer night where crickets sing out across a rolling field of tobacco, and an army of fireflies appear as the late afternoon surrenders into the grasp of the night? Was it the story from my mother about the apparition of her deceased sister on the graveled road across from my grandparent’s house? Was it my grandmother’s reluctance to talk about it? Or was it the lone streetlight illumination across the front lawn, creating a boundary between darkness and the light? The Grand Canyon in Arizona—where a lad in his early 20s discovered the West that he had only heard about from John Wayne movies. There was the darkness! We learned very early to sojourn during the hot daylight hours and then do our hiking at night when it was cooler. On most occasions I would take the lead, sometimes by a mile or so. I was alone and in the dark, hiking by the light of the moon. It gave me solitary time to ponder on this foreign world of shadows and mystery. I moved through a landscape of desert, pink rattlesnakes, cactus, and tall dark shadows that followed me in my peripheral vision. It was also my introduction to UFOs ping-ponging an irregular route across the horizon. During my years in Oregon I had the opportunity to spend time in the mountains. It was during those nighttime explorations I realized a different world after the sun set. It’s amazing how childlike emotions reemerge as a result of the flickering flames of a campfire illuminating a narrow expanse of surrounding tree line, leaving the sounds of trampled brush, fallen branches, and glowing eyes just out of our reach in the blackness. Darkness brings about a realization that we are perhaps out of our element; and the feeling of being small and alone. A life of possibilities occasionally reveals themselves in small glimpses of insight. These glimpses can make a profound statement! Ghosts, spirits, goblins, Bigfoot, and UFOs all seem to coexist in the world of darkness. It is their time to come out and play! And perhaps, our time to observe.

Fraudulent entities can scan various Internet databases for personal and financial information, so scammers may appear to be “collecting” legitimate debts. Some questions to deter would-be scammers if they contact you: “What is your professional license number and the name, address and phone number of the company you’re calling from?”“What are the last four digits of the debtor’s Social Security number?” “Will you send me a ‘validation notice?’” Any calls that seem illegitimate should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission. – Consumer Reports Send your Southside news to: [email protected] for print consideration!

The Southside Times NIGHT & DAY BEHIND BARS Ex Machina… well-written, excellently directed psychological thriller MOVIE REVIEW By Adam Staten From your smartphone to the GPS navigational system in your car to the checkout at the supermarket, technology literally surrounds us. Technology is such a pervasive and all-encompassing element of society that you would have a difficult time functioning in everyday life without it. It has also reached the point where technology is constantly improving and evolving that what once seemed impossible is much more likely. The new film Ex Machina looks at this perpetually and continuously fluctuating state of technology and the issues that accompany these technological improvements. Ex Machina is set in the not-so-distant future where artificial intelligence is not yet fully-developed, but the technology is right on the brink of the major invention. The film centers on Caleb, a computer programmer without out any family or any connections of any kind. One day, while sitting at his desk, Caleb is alerted that he is the winner of a company-wide contest. Caleb is immediately whisked away to a remote residence in the mountains only reachable via helicopter. From there Caleb spends the week with Nathan, the reclusive billionaire owner of the company that employs Caleb. Taken aback by the odd and mysterious Nathan and his present surroundings, Caleb is not quite sure what to expect. However, nothing could have prepared him for what Nathan ss-times.com • Week of April 23-29, 2015 Location: Riff Raff’s Bar, 2409 English Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46203 Ingredients and directions: Fill glass with ice.

Meridian St., Indianapolis, 46225 Bartender: Nikki Borem unveils. Nathan has actually managed to create artificial intelligence that looks and acts eerily similar to a human being. While the plot of Ex Machina is not incredibly complex, the writing is absolutely terrific. The film examines several relevant aspects of today’s society such as the ever-expanding and evolving nature of technology, the loss of privacy and the NSA and government overreach. There are only a handful of characters who ever appear on screen, but each one is so well-rounded, fully-developed and conflicted that the minimal cast is extremely well suited for this well crafted film. In addition to the excellent writing, Ex Machina is also expertly directed. For a film that could have easily become boring and mundane, that is never the case here. Tension is maintained throughout the entire film and oddly it’s able to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire film. Ex Machina is a well written and well-directed film that looks at some very relevant topics. Even though it is still relatively early in 2015, Ex Machina is the best film so far this year.

DISPATCHES Fun Facts from National Geographic "Located in southeast Europe, CROATIA is geographically diverse. The crescent-shaped country features low mountains and highlands near the Adriatic coastline, flat plains that hug the Hungarian border, and a multitude of islands. Several different ethnic groups can be found in the republic. Croats are by far the largest ethnic group in Croatia. Serbs make up the largest minority group; however, their numbers fell after the 1990s war of independence—from more than one-tenth of the population before the war to less than half that many in 2001. Rabbits, foxes, boars, wildcats, and wild sheep are found in the plains areas, while wolves and even bears can be found in the inland forests. Sea life in the Adriatic is rich as well, with many coral reefs and underwater caves serving as habitats. The Croatian president is elected by popular vote to a five-year term and is head of state. The prime minister is head of government. The president appoints the prime minister, who must also be approved by parliament. Croatia's parliament consists of a 151seat House of Representatives."

National Avenue Indianapolis, IN 46227 NUTRITION By Chef Wendell Fowler You think you’re too busy with life to lift a knife? Get over yourself and listen up friends. If you consider Fruit Loops your daily dose of fruits, then you’re on the slippery slope of convenience addiction and your family’s health may be paying the price. Red, white and blue unhealthy Americans are either embarrassingly addicted to convenience or really, really lazy. If you think you can’t slow down long enough prepare fresh fruit salad, please think again. It’s not difficult at all, plus it can be good family fun to assemble and share. Assuming they’re healthy you’ve probably purchased convenient little opaque cups, tin cans, or glass jars of pre-made fruit salad lining grocery shelves? American’s are unknowingly buying sugar, artificial color, and high fructose corn syrup-laden fruit salad that was harvested, hopefully washed, peeled, chopped, mechanically packaged and shipped from, yep, either China, Mexico, Thailand or the Philippines. These distant countries have vastly dissimilar interpretations of sanitation and responsible agrichemical usage. Plus, this stuff is weeks, maybe months old, hence nutritionally DOA. Fresh is infinitely best for glowing family health. Next time you shop for the family, please think to pick up a cup, can, or jar to see where it was packaged. Read the label closely. What’s the expiration date? Then do an about-face, march to the produce department, seek the organic offerings and select your favorite fruits. If you don’t know how to peel and chop them, then do a Google search like you do for just about everything else. Learning is what life’s all about. You deserve so much better, my Hoosier friends. You must learn how simple it is to prepare fresh, nutritious, sun blessed fruit salad at home with the family. It’s not rocket science. Fresh is infinitely best for glowing family health. Now, not next week, is the time to break away from misguided mind patterns that have dominated America’s food perceptions and created unimaginable human suffering on a vast scale. America’s time-bound mode of eating is deeply embedded in the human psyche. We must break the chains of dietary self-destruction. The miracle called your holy temple was created to express perfect health. You are worthy and capable of achieving so much more than you’ve been led to believe. Preparing fresh, healthy meals instead of processed food is an act of love toward yourself and those for who you cook for. Chef Wendell Fowler is a nutritionist and motivational presenter.

LIFESTYLE The Southside Times Natural ways to sleep better For The Southside Times by Family Features An estimated 50-70 million adults in the U.S. suffer from sleep disturbances, leaving many searching for natural, cost-effective solutions to improve sleep quality. “Getting proper sleep has never been more important – inadequate sleep is considered a risk factor for obesity, heart disease and other chronic diseases,” said Dr. Carol Ash, Director of Sleep Medicine for Meridian Health in New Jersey. Americans’ ongoing sleep problems have caused an uptick in the use of sleep aids, although Ash recommends starting with your fridge rather than the medicine cabinet. “Take a look at your diet,” said Ash. “Cut down on caffeine and alcohol, particularly in the evening, and instead of reaching for an extra cup of coffee in the morning, try drinking a glass of tart cherry juice at night. Research shows tart cherry juice can help reduce the severity of insomnia and improve sleep efficiency.” Ash recommends creating a bedtime routine with these simple suggestions for a better night’s rest: • Go red before bed: Change your bedtime ritual by adding tart cherries to your routine. Get started by drinking a glass of tart cherry juice in the evening before you go to bed for seven consecutive days. • Be anti-social: The screens from gadgets can emit blue light that suppresses the sleep hormone melatonin causing alertness, so for- get about social media before bed. Keep the room quiet, dark and cool, creating a calm sanctuary. • Hit the gym: Decompress from stress with exercise. Exercise anytime is good for improving sleep patterns. • Set your internal alarm: Keep the same bedtime and wake-up time every day, which helps to set your biological clock that controls rhythms for wake and sleep. Available year-round in dried, juice and frozen forms, tart cherries are an easy and flavorful addition to your daily diet. Try this delicious Tart Cherry and Mango Smoothie.

GRAMMAR GUY By Jordan Fischer Incorrect, over-enthusiastic and, frankly, odd capitalization decisions are mistakes we see frequently in the editing world. I think most people remember the basic rules from English class: Do capitalize the first word of a sentence, proper nouns, the first word of a quotation, titles that precede a name, days of the week, etc. Don’t capitalize the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter), compass directions unless referring to specific regions (For example, Alabama is in the South, but is located south of Indiana.), or general subjects in school (math, physical education, health). Of course, the beauty of our world is that there is so much more to write about beyond the basic rules. This is also the area where mistakes start to slip in. A big source of confusion for many people seems to come from titles and academic degrees. As I mentioned earlier, I think most people are comfortable with what to do with a title that precedes a name: you capitalize it. For example, assuming you are reading this column on Tuesday and are 18 years old, hopefully you voted or will be voting for candidates running for local offices. While the choices might be difficult for some, the rule isn’t: if a title comes before a name, capitalize it. What if the title is located somewhere else, though, or there is no name attached to it? AROUND TOWN Quimby pursues medicine following Ohio graduation Greenwood gives trees away for Arbor Day Beech Grove - Donald Quimby, Jr. of Beech Grove, will pursue Internal Medicine at University of Cincinnati Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, following graduation from Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) this spring.

Quimby, Jr. is a graduate of Beech Grove High School and The Ohio State University. For more information, visit neomed.edu.

The giveaway is from 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. and 4:30 to 6 p.m. at two locations: Greenwood Community Center, 100 Surina Way, and in the Public Parking lot north of the City Center, Main and Madison. For more information, greenwood.in.gov or facebook.com/greenwoodhappenings. Send your Southside news to: [email protected] for print consideration! What if, for example, your choices on the ballot were Barack Obama, president of the United States, and Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts? Since the titles follow the name, they are considered to be used as descriptors and thus no capitalization is needed. Similarly, were you to refer to the candidates as the president and the governor, you would not capitalize their titles. The exception, since there must be one, would be if you are addressing one or the other directly, in which case you would say Mr. President or Mr. Governor with a capital letter. College degrees follow very similar capitalization rules. If they precede a name – Bachelor of Arts Jordan Fischer, for example – they get to be capitalized. If they follow a name – Jordan Fischer, bachelor of arts – they don’t. As I’m typing this, I notice that Microsoft Word wants the latter degree capitalized as well. Just ignore that little green squiggly; we’re smarter than the computer on this one. As a final note, academic subjects in degrees follow the same rules as normal: Capitalize proper nouns like English and French. Don’t capitalize general courses like mathematics unless referring to a specific course: Algebra II, Modern Dance 101, etc. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for The Southside Times.

Pastor Jim Allen and Chester enjoy joking back and forth to drive home a serious message at church. We still don't get it, do we? DEVOTIONAL By Paul Kirby "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." ~ Matthew 27:37-39 If one were to understand the implications of this, Christ is saying to Jerusalem that it will be hopeless and helpless and alone until it comes to terms with the fact that it had an opportunity to become the center of all of the activity of the kingdom of God but rejected the King that would make that happen. I might add here that lest we think that we are better than they, the same Christ can make the same pronouncement over our congregations that He made over Jerusalem. It appears to me that so many are ignoring the doctrines of the kingdom of God and are putting in its place a social gospel that completely changes the very nature of the Gospel. The Gospel of the Kingdom of God was never intended for the world for the world cannot comprehend the nature of it. Jesus told Nicodemus that unless he was "born again" he could not see nor enter the Kingdom of God. This means that the unregenerate sinner can- not see (comprehend or understand) the Kingdom of God or its nature. This was Jerusalem's problem and it is why there is such controversy over the world's attempt to impose its agenda upon the church. In today's world, as then, there is this attempt on the part of the world to shape the church in its image and its likeness when the church is to take on the likeness and image of Christ. I don't need for the world to tell me, a Christian, what Christ would do in situations. I know full well that Christ ate with sinners but what the world does not get is that He did so to change them and not to be one of them. What is true of Christ is true of His Church (His Kingdom). Christ could empathize and sympathize with the sinner but He was never guilty of any of their sins. He was tempted by all of their sins but never gave an inch to any of them. The world seems to think (and some have even said so) that Christ Jesus committed sins just like all of the rest of us. No! Christ was not a sinner. He condemned the practice of sin. He made His pronouncement over Jerusalem because it could not see either He or His Kingdom which was and still is the Kingdom of His Father. How sorrowful He must have been and must yet be. We still don't get it, do we? Think about it. God bless and go and have a great day. Paul A. Kirby is the pastor at the Church of God at 3939 S.
