Celebration of a century
Beech Grove resident Lorraine Morford
celebrates her 100th birthday
FEATURE
By Nicole Davis
dependently, she recently had her license renewed but says she only goes out to the grocery store and to get her hair done.
“If you’re in the area, don’t worry,” she jokes.
“I won’t be on the street.”
Getting excited for her 100th birthday celebration with her family and some friends, Lorraine said she doesn’t believe there is any sort
of secret to living to be so healthy at her age –
other than possibly staying active as she didn’t
simply sit around after retirement.
“I’ve always believed, you are put here to
touch someone’s life,” Lorraine said. “You will
be here until you do that. I don’t know who
I’m supposed to touch, but that’s my belief.
I’m here for a reason.”
Cards have poured in for Lorraine Morford
as she nears her 100th birthday on May 16–
more than 70 Happy Birthday cards arriving
two weeks before the celebration.
“Last year I told (my family) don’t buy me
presents; I want a big party next year,” Lorraine says. “So they’re giving that to me. I’m
looking forward to it.”
Lorraine was born May 16, 1914 in Petersburg, Ind. to Charles William Fair and Mary
Jane Hundley Fair. She came to Indianapolis
at 16, in the middle of the Great Depression.
She married Robert
Morford on Oct. 7,
1939. In 1946, they
had their son, William George Morford
who resides in Indianapolis. She and Robert were charter members of Noble Centers,
a school for children
with developmental
disabilities, now called
Noble of Indiana. Lorraine worked at ARC
of Indiana for seven
years before retiring
in 1980.
“I’ve always worked.
I worked in a home
taking care of children when I was in
grade school,” Lorraine said. “I’ve always
had my finger in the
pie. I don’t remember one year that I
didn’t have a job. After WWII I was a stay

A continued big loss for
Beech Grove citizens
READER'S WRITES
Almost every day I hear horror stories
of people calling 911 or someone trying to
get information from the police, whether it be
Beech Grove or IMPD. People reported being put on hold or no one answers the phone.
I also have had the same experiences as well
when I have called for assistance. Earlier this
week, with the incident concerning the Middle
School, I just wanted to express my thoughts
on why closing our dispatch center was such
a bad idea.
In 2010, Mayor Wright approached the
Common Council with a recommendation
to close our dispatch center and merge with
MECA. The Common Council agreed with his
recommendation by a vote of 4-3. Many people in our community disagreed with this legislation as they felt it would be very detrimental for the wellbeing of our citizens.
When you have an emergency and you
need help, you expect someone to answer the
phone. You do not expect delays or get disconnected. I lay no blame on the folks who
work downtown and answer the phones because they are doing the best that they can.
The Common Council was forced to make
a terribly difficult decision because the city
couldn’t control its spending. Our dispatch
center was more than just a center for emergency services. Our dispatch center was a focal point for citizens to call in for other nonemergency services. Now, that is all gone and
there is nothing that any of us can do about it.
We have become a small fish in a big pond and
it’s frustrating.
As we move on, please call 911 if you have
an emergency and stay on the line (don’t hang
up). Should you have a non-emergency need
please call 327-3811, calling 782-4949 only
causes further delays as you are transferred to
the 327-3811 line. If you live in Beech Grove
make sure that is made crystal clear to the dispatcher on the other end of the line. Should
you have a police need, please demand to
speak with a police officer.

Schools are nearing the end of the semester and news of accomplishments throughout
the Southside continues to pour in. We want
to extend our congratulations to all students
earning recognition on the Southside – and
we will continue to post the news we receive
in our publication. In the meantime, we’d like
to congratulate:
• Members of High Voltage and Franklin
Central Singers/Chamber Choir for competing this weekend at the Indiana State School
Music Association Concert Choir State Finals. High Voltage came home with 2nd place
for the Women's/Men's Concert Division on
Friday night. The combination of FC Singers
& Chamber Choir brought home their third
consecutive state concert championship. This
is in addition to the second place High Voltage
received this year and State Championship for
FC Singers in show choir.
• The Center Grove High School Fine
Arts Academic Super Bowl team which was
crowned state champion on Saturday, May
10 at Purdue University. Team members include Vaughn Knutson, Aaron Estes and Troy
Smith. They are coached by Center Grove
High School teacher Adam Gaff.
• Cassie Baird, Perry Meridian High School

"The police officer who puts

Let your voice

Q: National Police Week is May 12-16, 2014. Why are
you grateful for the police our community?
When has a police officer helped you?
"I am very grateful for
the police men and
women that serve
and protect in our
community. Each
and every day they
put their lives on the
line to respond to
emergencies and calls
for help. Most days
they see, first hand, society's worse problems. Yet, despite the problems, these
dedicated people get up and go to work
the next morning to do it again because
they get tremendous satisfaction out of
helping others."
Dawn Selke, works in
Franklin Township
"I'm very grateful for
the police offices and
what they do. I have
two who train here (at
Life Systems Martial Arts of Greenwood). In fact I have a
brother-in-law who is
retired from the police department. I am
very thankful for what they do protecting
the community and other services."
Mark Kreuzman,
works in Greenwood
"We have a lot of
customers who are
officers here (at Lincoln Square Pancake
House). They are here
every day and they are
amazing people. If we
need anything from
them, they are only
five minutes away.
They will be here no matter what they are
doing. They have been really great to us."
Maggie Hinojosa,
works in Perry Township
"I'm very grateful for
the police officers in
Beech Grove. They
have not only been
very solicitous of not
only our institution,
The Benedict Inn Retreat and Conference
Center, but of the
sisters of St. Benedict.
When they are called, they come. We have
had a very good response which makes
a very big difference. Through the years
we have had difficulties on our property
and even entrance into our building. They
always take a real interest in trying to resolve the situation. The other part is they
do wonderful education and help us better
understand what we can do ourselves."

Miller joins
Kids Against Hunger
Charles F. Miller has joined Kids Against Hunger-Greenwood as its director – logistics and
supply chain. Miller will be responsible for all
aspects of procuring materials to create completed meals and distributing those meals
both locally and internationally. He joins Kids
Against Hunger with over 30 years of experience in IT, fee-only wealth management, and
sales. Miller has travelled extensively internationally especially in Third World countries.
The mission of Kids Against Hunger, a humanitarian food-aid organization, is to reduce the
number of hungry children in the USA and to
feed starving children throughout the world.
Kids Against Hunger-Greenwood concentrates on packaging a highly nutritious, vitamin-fortified soy-rice casserole by volunteers
at numerous locations in Indiana and beyond.
Most of the meals produced locally are distributed in Central America and locally in the
Indianapolis area. “In 2014 we are on track to
produce and ship around 2,000,000 from our
location in Indianapolis”, Miller said. Stated
Larry Moore, executive director of KAH-G, in
a prepared statement: “We are excited to welcome Charles to our team. As we continue to
experience substantial growth, the area of logistics/supply chain is a critical component
of our ability to create and distribute quality
meals to those in need.”

Benefits: Use a travel agent
For SST by Greg Seiter
Planning a trip can be frustrating and time
consuming, especially for those attempting
to do so on their own. Sure, the Internet has
opened the door for novice vacation planners
to almost instantly access a seemingly endless list of travel-related companies and pages where information can be found and plans
solidified however, that benefit can also be a
hindrance.
With so many choices, how do you know
where to begin and even more importantly,
how do you know who you can trust?
Today, more so than ever before, it’s imperative that potential trip takers utilize the skills
and services offered by experienced travel
agents, like those found in AAA Hoosier Motor Club branch offices and through the club’s
Web site www.AAA.com.
AAA Travel Agency, Indiana’s largest travel agency, boasts highly-trained agents who
are experts at understanding and deciphering
the myriad of travel-related information and
codes used in today’s industry. With over 110
years of travel experience, AAA is a household
name that people are familiar with and trust.
AAA travel agents provide professional
advice and personalized service. They’re accessible via the Internet, by telephone and in
person at your nearest Hoosier Motor Club
service center.
Strong preferred vendor partnerships and
the latest in computer-based reservations
technology provide these individuals with access to current travel information and outstanding deals that are sometimes hard to
find. In fact, the bottom line is that AAA travel
agents, who work for their clients rather than
for a travel supplier, are there to save vacationers as much time and money as possible.
Speaking of saving money, it’s important to
note that AAA Travel Agents DO NOT charge
a vacation planning fee to anyone they assist;
that includes non-AAA members. Of course,
members do enjoy exclusive savings opportunities and value-added amenities with major
cruise and tour companies. For example, AAA
members save $20 in service fees when they
book an airline ticket at a Hoosier Motor Club
office. Also, passport photos are only $10 plus
tax for members compared to $20 plus tax for
non-members.
And even those fees are waived if someone
books a cruise or tour package.
Understandably, AAA Hoosier Motor Club
sincerely enjoys helping people with their
travel plans and to that extent, the club even
rewards repeat customers. When you book
your inclusive tour, cruise or package through
AAA Travel Agency, the club rewards you
with gifts for being a frequent traveler. So in
other words, let us help you take frequent vacations and in-turn, you’ll be eligible for great
gifts like digital cameras, camcorders, luggage, gift cards and much more.
In today’s marketplace, those who elect to
secure their own travel plans are really taking a dangerous chance. For example, if you’ve
booked your vacation independently through
non-reputable sources on the Internet, who
are you going to call if you run into problems
along the way? What happens if the individual or company you’ve been working with
suddenly refuses to respond to your email requests?
By using a AAA travel agent, you have
peace of mind in knowing that your agent is
always going to be there and accessible to you
throughout your trip; by phone, email and
even at our brick and mortar stores in order
to help make last-minute changes and resolve
challenges, should the need arise. We won’t
ever hide from your problems if you book
through us and remember; our services are
fee-free!
TRAVEL DISPATCHES
n What do hotel star ratings mean? Five-star sounds lush and extravagant, and twoor three-star hotels sound great for travelers on a budget, but do these ratings have
any meaning anymore? The problem is that so many websites have varying methods of
ascribing ratings to their hotels—some allow customers to submit their own reviews while
others have a more methodical approach. Be wary of “official” star ratings—they might not
mean what you think! – CNN Travel
n Discover America’s national parks • According to the U.S. Department of the Interior,
the United States is home to nearly 400 national parks—including historic sites as well as
national monuments—that span across 84 million acres. Each park has its own regulations
regarding camping and travel so be sure to visit nationalparks.org before embarking on
your adventure. – Fox News Travel
n Travelling with teens and their technology • Finding ways to work with your teen
(rather than against him or her) can be beneficial for everyone; setting aside time for
social media or Internet access, requesting assistance with directions or information via
smartphone and other methods of interaction are ways to make traveling with adolescents
a little more fun. – Yahoo Travel

Staycation this summer
By Eric Ellis
When I first heard the term “staycation” I
wasn’t sure what to think. Then a friend explained it: “It’s somewhere you can go for just
a day and come back to sleep in your own bed
at night—like a trip to Cincinnati or Chicago
or something.” For those of you on a budget
like mine, this kind of trip is an affordable alternative when you are in need of some time
off.
Whether it’s something simple in downtown Indy like day-tripping to the zoo or one
of our great museums, or something a little
further—here’s my list of some of the best
staycation possibilities surrounding Indianapolis.
Kings Island
If adventure and thrills are more your
speed, Kings Island amusement park is approximately a two-hour drive from Indianapolis. Kings Island boasts that it is the “largest
amusement park and water park in the Midwest” and with affordable payment plans for
families this summer season, this one’s a nobrainer! Not only are there rides and attractions for thrill-seekers, but Kings Island is also
home to live entertainment and other special
events.
National Parks
Our great Hoosier state is home to three
national parks spanning from the northernmost parts of the state to the tippy-toe of Indy’s “boot.” George Rogers Clark in Vincinnes,
Indiana Dunes in Porter and Lincoln Boyhood
in Lincoln City are three great historic sites
that have much to offer—whether you’re into
hiking, history, or a scenic combination of the
two, you’re sure to find a day of enjoyment.
Chicago
Every so often I hear the call of the Windy
City—and at a three-hour drive (or five hour
train ride), Chicago’s a much closer neighbor
than we think. Home to several attractions
such as: Navy Pier, Shedd Aquarium, Wrigley Field and many more, there’s something
for everyone in Chi-town. Millennium Park
(perhaps most famous for the Cloud Gate or
“The Bean” sculpture) is home to music festivals, cultural events, and much more. If you’ve
never been to Chicago or haven’t been in quite
some time; check it out!
These are just a few options—Indy is home
to many more staycation destinations. We’d
like to hear some of your favorites! Send your
letters to the editor to [email protected].

Long-term care now priced by gender • Deciding to buy long-term-care insurance is a big
financial commitment — even more so if you are a woman. Last year, Genworth Financial and
other big insurance companies adopted gender-distinct rates for long-term care insurance
— which means that if you are a woman, you will now pay more than a man for the same
coverage. Long-term-care insurance pays for help with daily activities like bathing and dressing,
if you can no longer do them yourself. Long-term care insurers said they adopted gender-based
premiums to reflect the reality that women tend to live longer than men and are more likely to
use benefits. Women own about 58 percent of policies, Genworth said, but account for nearly 67
percent of all claims. The effect is that women will now pay several hundred dollars more a year
in long-term-care premiums than a man would for a comparable policy.

Spring has sprung

For SST by Bill Heidenreich of Heidenreich
Greenhouses and Garden Center
What a wonderful spring we are enjoying,
especially after feeling the wrath of Mother
Nature this past winter. The weather has been
sensational. The weekend weather has certainly been good enough for us all to get into
our yards and do a spring clean up. Lawns are
growing rapidly, perennial plants should
be sprouting out of the ground, and it
is time to plant flowers.
If you have not put
down a pre emergent
weed killer yet, you
are probably too late.
If you have weeds in
the lawn make sure
you get a post emergent instead. The difference is the pre emergent keeps the dormant
weed seed from germinating. The post emergent weed killers take care of the weeds that
have already sprouted. Pre emergents are applied in March. Mowing no lower than three
inches helps keep weeds in the yard down.
With the tough winter we had, there is quite
a bit of dieback on shrubs, perennial, bushes
etc. If you have some dieback on perenni-

The Southside Times
Serving a God that heals
DEVOTIONAL
By Pastor Paul A. Kirby
"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and
the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have
committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."
~ James 5:14-15
What is God's ultimate goal for us? It is
my belief that His ultimate goal is to have us
there in heaven with Him. That is what He
sent Christ to tell us and that is what Christ
expressed to His disciples in John 14:1-6.
But, in the interim, while we still live here on
the earth in these houses of clay, God wants
to do things for us that will make our lives
more beneficial to Himself and to ourselves.
As Christ told the Syro-Phoenician woman,
"Healing is the children's bread."
As far as I know, I am a child of God. John's
gospel, chapter one and verse twelve tells me
that, "Now we are the sons of God." Those of
us who are born again, saved, washed by the
blood of Jesus Christ, are the sons and daughters of God. We are His own dear people and
out of that relationship with Him comes many
wonderful benefits with healing being just one
of them.
I realized that there are many who do not
believe in miracles with God's divine healing
of the human body being one of them. I do
believe in miracles and I do believe God's divine healing is one of them. God does heal. He
heals at His discretion and not ours. There is
no "magic wand" that one can wave over an affliction or a disease that will make it go away.
We all get sick from time to time and one day
we will get sick and die. That is an inevitable
fate we all must face. But, until it is time for
us to depart this world, we have this wonderful Father in heaven who cares for us and who
will be there for us and heal us of this world's
diseases.
I have been healed many times. I have
prayed for the others who were sick with lifethreatening diseases and afflictions and seen
them healed. I have prayed for many who
were never healed on this side of eternity
but I fully believe that they received absolute
and permanent healing on the other side the
moment they entered paradise. One glorious day, Christ will come again and with the
sound of the last trumpet blast and the call
"Come forth!" every one of those diseased
and afflicted bodies of the righteous dead will
awaken, arise, be permanently and gloriously
healed and go to be with the Lord forever in
that healed condition. Those are comforting
words, these should be comforting words to
us all.
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.
IN OUR SCHOOLS
Calvary Lutheran Church and School’s quilting team displays the quilts they made, which were
delivered to India by the church’s mission team. Each year, the quilters assemble approximately
100 quilts and distribute them to various charities. Members of the team are, from left, Catherine
Woempner, Helen Stebbe, Diane Werling, Lois Boswell, Kathleen Klasing, Ruth Fuhrmann and Eli
Huotilainen.
IN OUR SCHOOLS
Janet Price retires from Roncalli
Roncalli will say good bye to a longtime stalwart member of the faculty
when Janet Price retires from education at the end of this year. She has
been a classroom teacher for 36 years including the last 21 at Roncalli,
where she taught German and for some years French as well. "Janet's
passion for teaching and German both run deep. She is the consummate
professional, and her love for and dedication to Roncalli High School
has been unmatched over these past 21 years,” said Chuck Weisenbach,
Roncalli’s principal. “In and out of the classroom, Janet has been a major
contributor to the success of our school. She has impacted many, many
students' lives in a positive way, and we will miss her dearly!" Roncalli will
hold a reception for Janet on May 19, 3:15 – 5 p.m. in the school’s Media Center. All in the
Roncalli family are encouraged to send notes of thanks and well wishes to Janet if you are not
able to attend the reception on May 19. In addition to establishing the German program, Janet
served as chairperson of the World Languages department, Spell Bowl and Academic Super
Bowl coach, mentor teacher, student council moderator, South Deanery Middle School World
Languages teacher and National Honor Society moderator. She and her husband, Tom, were
leaders in multiple capital campaigns to support the advancement of Roncalli and its mission.
