responders who he says saved his life.

Crash survivor reaches out,
thanks Beech Grove and IFD
By Eric Ellis
Firefighters and emergency response crews may not be nervous out in the field—saving lives
is in the job description after all—but Indianapolis Fire Department and Beech Grove Fire Department members joke amongst themselves that they’re nervous to be in uniform in front of
cameras and media.
The two departments gathered on Saturday, April 11 at IFD Station 43 at 7604 E 10th St., Indianapolis, for a rare occurrence. Guy Norman Towell, 58, made a trip with his wife of 19 years,
Sherry, and granddaughter, Bella Figueroa, 8, to Indianapolis from Salisbury, N.C., to thank the
men and women who rescued him from an overturned semi-truck in October 2013.
Towell was extricated successfully and transported by Beech Grove Medic 56 to Methodist
Hospital. After several months and approximately 30 surgeries, Towell, though he lost his leg
due to an infection, was able to make the trek to Indy.
Before Towell arrived, Beech Grove Lt. Ryan Tusing recalled the events that transpired that
evening in October 2013.
“Well, we were the first engine on the scene,” Tusing said. “We saw a single semi on its side
and confirmed an entrapped person that ‘needed a lot of help.’ We talked to him and tried to
keep him calm until IFD arrived with an extrication crew.”
Tusing said he’d spoken to Towell over the phone the evening prior regarding the reunion.
“’I’ll be kinda emotional,’ he told me,” Tusing said.
Once Towell and his family arrived at Station 43, he and his wife shook hands and exchanged
hugs with the crewmembers.
“You saved him. There’s no doubt in my mind,” Sherry said. “I’ll never be able to thank you
enough… (You) didn’t give up—even after an hour and a half of work—it’s incredible.”
Towell said he was more than grateful for the opportunity to thank everybody.
“I’ve never been so glad to hear sirens in my life,” Towell quipped. “We’re very grateful to all
of you. Remember when you get back from your calls—you didn’t get back by accident. God’s
watching out for you, just as y’all watched out for me… I’m convinced. God saved my life from
hell, and y’all saved my life from death.”
After the tears and many thanks, Towell and his family joined the fire crews for a traditional
firehouse meal of hamburgers and hotdogs, grilled by IFD.

Q: This week is national
library week. Do you use the
public library and what do you
like best about them?
"What I like best about
the library is the
availability of so many
products that you can
access: books, movies,
videos, documentaries…
The whole gamut of
things that you can get
and it doesn’t cost you
anything. It is fantastic."
Andrew Mathes of
Franklin Township
"I like it just because of all the resources. Most commonly I use if to access
the Internet, like right now in between stops with my job. It gives me a
place to go. I also get DVDs from it. I really like the Kindle books that they
have now available. It is just a very pleasant place to spend time. It is quiet.
It is well maintained and it is a nice place to be. I lived overseas in the
Philippines for about 13 years. They didn’t have libraries and that was one
of the things that I missed the most. Being in a place without this available
you realize what a great asset it is and what a great resource it is to have
public libraries that are so well-equipped."
"I do use the public library. Not only
Beech Grove but also Indianapolis
/ Marion County. I think our
public library system across the
nation is the jewel in the crown
of our country. Just think of all
the advantages that you get to
participate in by having your library
card. Computer use, library loan
books, videos, resources, research.
It is amazing, all for free. Can’t be
beat."

School referendum
impacts your future

Student encouragement
to vote yes for Perry
schools
While at school when the tornado sirens
sound, students have to leave their outdoor
classrooms and go outside just to get to the
safe school! Outside is the worst place to be
during a tornado! By voting yes to the referendum, when the tornado sirens sound, students will already have a sturdy roof over their
heads and not have the worry of going into the
storm. Vote yes!

READERS' WRITES
Do you live in Perry Township? Do you
have kids who attend school there? No? Well,
have you considered selling your home one
day? If the answer is yes, then your vote for
the referendum needs to also be yes! Why?
Because if we don’t make changes for our
schools to be safer environments for our students, if we aren’t able to offer specials to our
students, and if we can’t provide transportation for our students then no one is going to
want to purchase homes in Perry Township.
They will look to neighboring schools, leaving you to take a possible loss on your home.
Think to the future! Vote yes!
"I like the movies, the
Minecraft (video game)
books, and the books
about animals that they
have. I go to the library
whenever my mom
takes me."

Indianapolis - American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)
has designated April as National Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals Month. The City of Indianapolis has many ordinances to govern the
treatment of animals and help prevent cruelty.
Section 531-401 of the city’s municipal code
deals with the care and treatment of animals,
and specifically mentions the city’s laws on
tethering, or chaining. “Tethering” is defined
as “the practice of fastening a dog to a stationary object or stake, usually in the owner’s
backyard, as a means of keeping the animal
under control.” Tethering does not refer to an
animal being walked on a leash. Tethering of
a dog is allowed in Indianapolis, but there are
many restrictions that apply. In Indianapolis,
it is “unlawful for any animal to be tethered
between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.” This
law gives the dog a break from the chain and
encourages the owner to bring the dog inside
the house at night. It is also unlawful to tether
any dog that has not been neutered or spayed
for any period of time, unless it is being monitored by a competent adult for the entire tethering period. For more information on tethering, please visit indy.gov/accd.

DAR discusses
revolutionary schools
Southside - Monthly meeting of Daughters of the American Revolution April 6, 2015.
The Daughters had a guest speaker Janice
Bollenger, DAR State School Chairman. Janice gave a speech about the six DAR schools,
most of which are in southern states. These
schools are all on land owned by DAR but are
run by the public school system in the area
that the school is located. The Mary Bryan
DAR has helped the Kate Duncan Smith DAR
School located in Grant Alabama. Mary Bryan donates to the back pack program. Food is
put in the back packs to help feed the children
during the week-end since nearly 60 percent
of the students are below the poverty level.
You could rename
2nd Street
Southport - The City of Southport will soon
take ownership of the East half of the original
2nd Street. They will build the new street as a
two-lane boulevard with 20’ lanes each side of
a 10’ center median and plan to use the street
for festivals and some City events. The RDC
will choose a new name for the street. The
public is invited to submit name suggestions
to Duane Langrek, acm-duane@comcast.net,
before the end of April. The RDC will narrow
down suggestions and allow the public to vote
at the Spring Festival on May 9.

HUMOR
Death, taxes
and trash
Tax day has come and gone once again, and
the world lived to tell the tale.
After we put away our calculators, papers,
pens, pencils and immoderate doses Advil,
the time had come once again to fill up the
gas can and dust off the mower—these April
showers are relentless and living up to their
namesake. As such, the green grass grows
high.
We noticed, too, that some hardworking
city employees were out and about mowing
medians and city property as well. What was
unsettling was the amount of litter along the
sides of the road—in drainage ditches, clogging storm drains, you name it. From south of
County Line all the way up to Fletcher Place—
litter lined the streets. Before the grass could
even be cut, a small army was needed to pick
up the filth: fast food containers, plastic bottles, candy wrappers, and (perhaps the worst
of them all) cigarette butts.

hardworking men and women

beautifying our communities…"

More questions, still no answers on
Hillary email scandal
In December 2012 congressional investigators asked Hillary Clinton directly if she used
a private email account while serving as secretary of state. Her answer: Silence. The question, in a letter from House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and first reported by
The New York Times, was posed seven weeks
before Clinton’s tenure ended. When the State
Department eventually responded to Issa’s
demand in March 2013, nearly two months
after she left office, officials also ignored the
question about Clinton’s digital hygiene. Given Clinton’s admission that she used a personal account (and a private server) exclusively as
secretary, news of this apparent dodge adds to
a scandal that has cost the Democratic presidential candidate dearly in polls. As the drip
of damaging details continues, when and in
what venue Clinton will address the growing
scandal is the question.
Los Angeles Times reports that the entertainment industry has swung fully into line
this time and will not buck Clinton’s second
bid.
Poll finds strong yearning among Dems for
an alternative - USA Today: “A 55 percent majority of Democrats say it's ‘very important’ to
them to see strong challenges to Hillary Clinton for the presidential nomination. Another
25 percent call it ‘somewhat important.’”

Nick Beaman
Greenwood firefighter says GFD has
become like his second family
BEHIND the BADGE
When Nick Beaman was searching for a
new job, he said his cousin would talk about
the great aspects of being a firefighter. He
could hear it in his cousin’s voice how much he
loved his job. Since he started with the Greenwood Fire Department in 2012, Beaman said
he’s discovered that same love for firefighting.
“I get to come here and do the best job in
the world and be with my second family,” Beaman said. “It’s the comradery that we share.
We’re here for a third of our lives. The relationships that develop in here and outside of
here, that’s hard to get these days in other industries.”
Beaman grew up in Beech Grove, graduating from Beech Grove High School. He
moved to Greenwood shortly after. When he
decided to pursue fire service, he said he knew
he had to be on the Greenwood Department.
He currently works at Station 91 on Main St.,
Greenwood.
“Since that first day, I knew I had a desire
to work here and be in this city,” Beaman said.
“It’s not really work. It’s making money doing
what you like.”

What was your inspiration to become
a police officer/firefighter?
What inspired me the most was the service
aspect. I live in Greenwood and do everything
in Greenwood so there’s no better honor than
to serve Greenwood. I see it as a selfless career. It’s very gratifying to help people in their
time of need and give back to the community.
ASCSeniorCare.com
CMG 150017
What has been one of your most
gratifying on the job?
One of my greatest moments so far, I was
riding in the seat as an officer one day, back
in November. We got a call for a fire in a different district. We were the first there. I was
the first ‘officer’ there. We all worked well to-
gether to get it under control. Everyone went
home safe. It was good to see all that training
we do go into work and to see how well everything turned out.
What aspect of the job do you find most
challenging?
I’m a family-oriented person. I have a
3-year-old daughter. Being away from her is
challenging at times. I’ve been here on Christmas, Thanksgiving, this year on her birthday.
On the other hand, I have my family here,
too, so it works out. I just hate missing out
on memories and opportunities to watch her
grow up.
What do you enjoy doing in your off-time?
I work another job, so free time is far and
few in between. I like being with my family.
When the warm weather comes around (my
daughter) and I get outside a lot. We go to a
lot of parks, a lot of bike rides.
What are your future goals, professionally
or personally?
I’ve been able to obtain one: getting hired
full-time here. I started part-time in August
2012. I was hired full-time in July last year. I
plan on spending my entire career here. The
great thing about the fire service is there’s
no ceiling. There’s always room to grow and
ranks to be earned, continuous training. I just
try to be the best I can for the department and
the city.
What would you have done if you hadn't of
became a police officer/firefighter?
I was in construction for 10 years before
I decided to pursue fire services. The falling
economy was a blessing in disguise. I was out
of work for a while. I had friends in the fire
service, learned about it and decided to pursue it. Had that not happened, I’d probably
still be in the same field.

HAUNTS & JAUNTS
Blanketed by dark hours

Darkness falls, and the armor we have worn throughout the day becomes a little weaker as daylight whispers
into nighttime hours. This armor is a shield against anything foreign that may step across our path as we tend to
our day to day affairs – fully confident that we’ll rise above
obstacles before us. We are most comfortable with the familiar and want it to stay that way. But the day will end,
as it always does, and darkness blankets us into another
realm where the certain can easily become the uncertain.
No… it’s not about an apocalypse of flesh-eating zombies, but rather a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability
that we can’t quite put a finger on. The mind dwells on the
possibilities… what will the night hours bring out? Is it increased crime, a sudden lack of security, a sense that all is
not right with the world, a loosening of morals or strange
powers at work? We wonder about these things. You can’t
help but do it too.
Many feel another realm of power takes over as daylight transitions into the shadows of night time. It is, after
all, not unfamiliar ground. If we have been alive for any
length of time it is a daily evolution that is guaranteed
(predictable and never ending) and as assured as the clock
ticking down the hours of our lives. It is our safety blanket
that assures us that life is running a normal course. However, the American Indians felt that day to night was (and
is) a transformation of forces and a consensual changing
of the guard, so to speak. We are the masters of the daylight hours as life takes on a normalcy that is both comforting and familiar. Yet, the night becomes the abode of
something completely else!
While the daylight does not restrict paranormal occurrences, it would seem the night and gathering darkness gives these paranormal happenings a sense of significance. Doors are opened, while other doors of rationality
and normalcy are slammed shut.
The darkness has become a large part of my own personal paranormal evolution. I feel comfortable about it
now, but it wasn’t always that way. The years have been
kind as I have tried to make some sense of a world that
was quite different from the one experienced in the daylight hours and one that can flip at a moment’s notice.
A present paranormal investigator arrived after humble
beginnings.

Indiana has significant
cases of Lyme Disease
PAWS for THOUGHT
By Dr. Bruce McLaughlin
Lyme Disease is a serious illness caused by
the bacteria Borrelia Burgdorferi. Lyme disease is transmitted by ticks and can affect dogs as well as humans. The Midwest and upper North East are areas
where Lyme Disease is most commonly found. Indiana is an area
where there are significant cases of
Lyme Disease.
It is a disease that attacks
many organs and parts of
the body. In dogs, the disease is characterized by
joint soreness and fever. In
older dogs, this could be mistaken for arthritis. It can also
cause kidney damage as well as
damage to other organs.
Symptoms often do not appear for two or
three months or more after being bitten by an
infected tick. Lyme Disease is often difficult
to diagnose because the symptoms can vary
greatly.
Lyme Disease can be treated after being
diagnosed. Treatment typically consists of a
15- to 30-day regimen of tetracycline or penicillin antibiotics. Diagnosis is done by a blood
test checking for antibodies.
Prevention of Lyme Disease is two-fold.
The first and most important is control of
ticks. It is important to use tick prevention products during the tick season which extends from early
spring to midsummer or
later. The second is to have
your pet vaccinated against
Lyme Disease. We strongly
recommend both the use of a
tick preventative as well as vaccinations for your pet against
this serious disease.
Please contact our office
for an appointment for vaccination as well as use of a tick
preventative.
Dr. Bruce McLaughlin founded South
31 Veterinary Clinic in 1977. He can be

MOVIE REVIEW
By Adam Staten
The last couple of weekends at the box office
have been pretty light as far as new releases go.
The choices have been a movie filled with car
chases, predictability, and bad
acting, or one based on
the writing of Nicholas
Sparks. Instead of spending two hours watching
the latest explosion- and
testosterone-filled entry in
the Fast and Furious series
(and wanting to avoid anything involving Nicholas
Sparks), I decided to check
out one that has been out a
couple of weeks. Home is the
latest animated feature film
from Dreamworks starring
Jim Parsons and Rihanna.
Home is the story of Oh (voiced by Parsons),
a friendly, but socially unaware and awkward
boov alien. As the film opens, the boov need a
new planet to inhabit in order to avoid the evil
Gorg, who wishes nothing but death and destruction for the friendly, purple boov aliens.
The boov eventually decide to take over planet
Earth, but in doing so, they must move all of the
humans on Earth to make enough room. After
arriving on his new home planet, Oh plans a
house warming party and sends an email invite
to everyone in the universe including the evil
Gorg. Oh must quickly correct his mistake before Gorg or any of the boov finds out. During
his mission to right his wrong, Oh runs into Tip

program, to offer learning experience for children ages 5 to 12 who have experienced the
loss of a loved one. | When: April 22 and 29,
4:30-6 p.m. | Where: Christ United Methodist

WHERE WE DINE
Jon Wright, IT
Indianapolis, 520 State
Rd. 135 in Greenwood.
Phone:(317) 215-7224
Bartender:
Emily Hollowell
(voiced by Rihanna), a human searching for her
mother who was displaced in the boov relocation process. Tip and Oh team up and the two
soon learn what it really means to be home.
Home is not the best-written animated film
to come out in the last couple of years. It often gets distracted and deviates from the plot for one
unnecessary joke or two.
However, the characters are
so fully developed and the
friendship between Oh and
Tip feels so real that it helps
in overlooking some minor
lack of focus in the writing and several instances
of deviating from the plot.
Again, the voice acting
is not the strongest here
either. Rihanna is noticeably weaker than Parsons,
whose character, Oh, is incredibly similar to
Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory. Parsons does pick up the slack and carries the film
with his funny, Yodaesque dialogue and delivery.
Home is probably not the best animated film
you’ll see all year, but it’s still funny, touching
enough to keep you entertained and interested
and one the kids are sure to enjoy. 3.5 out of 5.

Appreciating art at IMA
Beech Grove High School student, Erica Tetrick, writes about
a recent trip to the IMA: “On
March 19, the students of high
school art teacher Ms. Carey Tingle’s Art Appreciation class took
a trip to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. There, they were able
to delve deeper into the art world
and open their minds to new experiences. Some exhibits included Contemporary art as well as
Impressionism. From big names
like Van Gogh, Seurat, and Picasso to esoteric artists like Alexander Calder, students were able to
get just a glimpse of what art and
its aesthetic experience can do. I
sat down with senior Leah Heath
to hear what she had to say. ‘It really opened my eyes,’ Heath explained. ‘Not just to the beauty of art but to
the aesthetic feeling as well.’ The museum contained interactive pieces in which the viewer
becomes the art. The students left the museum feeling as though they themselves were

Fun Facts from National Geographic
"High in dense bamboo forests in the misty, rainy
mountains of southwestern China lives one of the
world’s rarest mammals: the GIANT PANDA, also
called the panda. Only about 1,000 of these blackand-white relatives of bears survive in the wild.
Pandas eat almost nothing but bamboo shoots and
leaves. Occasionally they eat other vegetation,
fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99
percent of their diets. Pandas eat fast, they eat a
lot, and they spend about 12 hours a day doing it.
They digest only about a fifth of what they eat.
Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay
healthy, they have to eat a lot—
up to 15 percent of their body
weight in 12 hours—so they eat
fast. Pandas’ molars are very
broad and flat. The shape of
these teeth helps the animals
crush the bamboo shoots,
leaves, and stems they eat.
To get the bamboo to
their mouths, they hold
the stems with their front
paws, which have enlarged
wrist bones that act as
thumbs for gripping. A panda
should have at least two bamboo species where
it lives, or it will starve. Pandas are shy; they don’t
venture into areas where people live. This restricts
pandas to very limited areas."

Top travel tips
for caregivers
TRAVEL
By Shelley Laurel, Five Star Senior Living Blog
With vacation season upon us,
here are some helpful tips when
traveling with your senior loved
ones:
If you are a caregiver for a senior loved one who will be going with your
family on vacation this spring, there are a few
things you should consider before heading
out. Preparing in advance can help make the
trip more relaxing and enjoyable for everyone.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Thoughtful Planning:
While direct flights might cost a little more,
they can make a big difference when you are
traveling with older adults. If you are traveling by car, pre-plan your route and stopovers.
Make sure to plan for rest breaks.
2. Copy of Medical File:
No one likes to think their vacation will be
interrupted by an emergency, but it is important to be prepared just in case. Make sure to
bring a copy of your senior loved one’s medical file that includes their medical history,
medications, and physician contact information. You might find it easier to safely store
the information in a smart phone app like My
Medical App or Care Zone.
3. Emergency Contact Cards:
On the chance that you become separated
from your older family member in a busy airport or rest stop, be sure they have a card with
your cell phone number on it or they have
their own cell phone. Even a disposable phone
that you purchase for them just for vacations
and outings would work. If your senior loved
one has memory loss caused by some form of
dementia, you might also want to include additional family members’ names and contact
information on the cards. Put copies of the
cards in their wallet, purse and pockets.
If you decide that taking your aging family
member with you on vacation just isn’t feasible, a respite stay in a senior living community
might be a solution to consider. Call the Indiana Five Star Senior Living community closest
to you for more information.

Meaningful memorial

PLANNING
By G.H. Herrmann Funeral Homes
For 89 years G.H. Herrmann
Funeral Homes has guaranteed
the finest service at the fairest
price and that philosophy still
holds true today. Founded in 1926
by the late George Harry Herrmann, G.H.
Herrmann Funeral Homes is the premier funeral provider. We are not only the oldest,
but the only family-owned funeral home and
cemetery on the Southside. With three locations, we are sure to meet your every need.
Our funeral home's dedicated staff wants to
help you and can play a critical role in planning and carrying out a meaningful funeral or
memorial service. Our licensed funeral directors are intimately familiar with the funeral
planning process, key decisions that a grieving family must make, and necessary legal
documentation that is required during this
difficult time. Three generations of experience
and knowledge oversee every detail of your
tailored services.
Founded by Jeff Herrmann, The Gardens was
designed to be the finest cemetery around.
With generous flowerbeds and a collection
of fine rare species of trees, we want to bring
a peaceful and beautiful cemetery to Greenwood. The mausoleum is made of all Hoosier
components. Using real limestone, the mausoleum was designed in a radius style, making it one of two built like this in the world.
The curve really accentuates the architecture
throughout the cemetery.
The gardens at Olive Branch offers the highest quality in funeral services on Indy’s Southside including: Finest burial spaces available,
engineered to assure our grounds remain dry,
beautiful granite upright monuments, finest
private family estates and the historic 1833
Mt. Auburn Cemetery.
Freedom Plaza9/11 Memorial
The Gardens at Olive Branch is also home
to our 9/11 Memorial called the “Freedom
Plaza.” Mr. Herrmann created this beautiful
structure to thank all of our servicemen and
first responders.
Our memorial boast a steel beam from
the World Trade Center Tower 1, limestone
from rebuilding the Pentagon, and soil from
the crash site of Flight 93. The beam is supported by brick columns that contain cremation niches and a pentagonshaped planter filled with 8
yards of dirt hauled in from
Shanksville, Pa. There’s also
the eternal flame, with its
limestone base crafted by
Brian Swersky, who built
an identical flame at John F.
Kennedy’s gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery.
Preplanning
No one likes to think about death, let alone
plan for it. A family discussion of funeral
planning, although sensitive, can be a very
satisfying experience for you
and your family. It allows you
to share feelings about funeral and burial arrangements
and keep others informed of
your personal preferences. It
also allows an opportunity to
put all your affairs in order in
a relaxed and confident way.

Hang up the landline
The elimination of a landline may seem like a daunting move, but it’s ultimately a time and
money saver—and you’ll be much less likely to receive pre-recorded sales calls or solicitations from telemarketers. And you don’t necessarily need to switch out the landline for a
lengthy contract with a mobile network provider; there are plenty of pay-as-you-go plans as
well. A few things to make note of before cutting the cord—figure out how much time you
spend on the phone, who you speak with most often, or whether or not texting is a fitting
substitute for vocal communication.

Maintaining a sense of self
ASSISTED LIVING
By Eunice Trotter, American Senior Communities
Many people would prefer to
age in place at home, but when
living independently becomes too
difficult or even dangerous, making the move to an assisted living
facility is vital.
Transitioning from your home to an assisted living community doesn’t mean that you
will have to sacrifice your independence and
autonomy. These days, assisted living communities work hard to take their residents’ needs
and comfort into consideration, while allowing them the help they may need with activities of daily living and keeping them safe.
If you’re worried about maintaining your
independence and sense of self as you move
into an assisted living facility, there are plenty
of ways for you to remain feeling in control in
your new living arrangement.
• Bring personal items with you. Many assisted living communities will allow you to
bring items from your home, like photos, pillows, knickknacks, and even some furniture.
Having these personal things surround you in
your new home will help ease the transition
into your new living space.
• Get involved in activities. Spending time
with other residents will give you a chance to
connect with others and grow new relationships, helping take away that feeling of isolation you may have previously experienced
when living independently in your home. Perhaps you like to knit or garden. Many communities will offer these types of activities to
their residents. Plus, learning something new
will promote mental growth and stimulation.
• Keep in touch with family and friends.
American Senior Communities Assisted Liv-
ing facilities encourage residents to stay connected to relatives and friends. Create a calendar and write down the dates and times
people will be visiting or calling to give yourself something to look forward to each week.
It’s important for family members to recognize the importance of establishing a communication routine with loved ones in assisted
living, too.
• Get to know the staff. Upon your arrival to the assisted living community, you and
your care giving loved ones should arrange to
speak to the staff. The more information you
can give the staff about yourself, the better
they will work to meet your needs. Let them
know your daily routines, your favorite foods
and snacks. The staff will work diligently to
ensure that they are providing the best care
possible while allowing you to maintain as
much independence as possible in a homelike,
secure environment.
American Senior Communities locations
provide opportunities to participate in group
outings to senior centers, shopping or church,
allowing you to stay connected outside of the
assisted living facility as you have in the past.
Moving into an assisted living facility might
take a little adjusting, but there is no reason
why you cannot maintain a level of independence once you are there.
American Senior Communities operates
Assisted Living facilities statewide. Southside Indianapolis locations are: Beech Grove
Meadows, 2002 Albany St.; Rosegate, 7525

Advance directives are a topic
not often discussed and not always understood. Unfortunately,
many people aren’t aware of what
Advance Directives are until they
are in a crisis. With the 8th Annual National
Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16, now is
a great time to discuss them.
So, what exactly are advance directives?
Advance directives are legal documents that
help to make your wishes known about endof-life care. There are two main documents
that are used. A living will is a document
that expresses your wishes about medical
treatment if you are permanently unconscious or dying. A power of attorney for
health care (or durable power of attorney) is a document
that names your proxy. A
proxy is who you want to
speak on your behalf if
you are unable to do so.

Few things are as certain as
death and taxes. And while the
basic form 1040 has not changed
much over the years, the funeral
service business has.
Traditionally, those who helped care for
you when a loved one died were people you
knew. They attended your church, belonged to
your YMCA , served in the Chamber of Commerce. They had been in the community for
generations and they served you, your grandparents and your great grandparents. When
they made funeral arrangements, they came
to your home, made decisions in your living
room, and followed up after the service to see
how you were doing.
Today, your local funeral home may still be
owned by a family in your community. Then
again, it may not. You will find funeral homes
in Greenwood and Perry Township that are
not.
Wall Street has penetrated the funeral industry. From the outside, there is little difference: same name, same building, sometimes
same employees. But many local funeral directors can no longer make decisions in your
living room. They answer to investors and
boards. They have P&L statements, quarterly goals and their children will not inherit the
family business.
Corporate-owned funeral homes claim
they can save consumers money through discounts and fixed rate pricing. But dealing with
the tragedy of losing a loved one is a far cry
from getting a fast food meal. Funeral ceremonies are about people, not products. It is
about creating ceremonies that suit the needs
of the survivors, and celebrate the life of those
who have left us. It is why historically those
who have served the community best have
also lived in the community for many generations.
Names can be deceiving. What may appear
to be a locally-owned operation may simply
be a larger chain whose headquarters is thousands of miles away in Pennsylvania, Kansas,
or Texas. It is also important that, if familyowned, is the owner a licensed Funeral Director in Indiana? As a consumer, you have a
right to know whether you are being served by
a community-based family or a profit-based
corporation.
The funeral business is a service industry.
Independent funeral directors own their funeral homes, and therefore have complete
flexibility to meet the special circumstances
and requests unique to every family going
through loss. They are able to meet a family’s
financial concerns without further approvals,
and can personalize a funeral service based
on the needs of you and your family. In short,
they do not have to go back to a board or a

corporate manager to make decisions.
Independent funeral homes, such as the
members of Selected Independent Funeral
Homes, have worked in their respective communities for generations. Selected Independent Funeral Homes is the world’s oldest and
largest association of independently-owned
and community based funeral service providers. The association believes in a connection
to the community, accountability to families
served, and the need to maintain an exemplary reputation well beyond minimum professional standards. Their commitment is that a
family receives the best information, the best
care and the greatest flexibility in developing
a funeral or memorial service that meets the
family’s needs.
When the time comes to plan a funeral, you
want to know who you can trust. Find out who
in your community has been there for generations—in your community. They are the families who have the ability to make decisions
without checking with a corporate owner.
Whether you desire a funeral home with
signature services, or one that has fewer offerings and simplicity, you should get what
you want with a family owned funeral home.
If you are not sure what independent funeral provider can best serve your needs, ask
friends, neighbors or clergy for recommendations.

Understanding isolation and
loneliness in seniors
SUPPORT
By Right at Home
Loneliness in older adults can
be intense. Loss of family and
friends, changes in physical condition, and changes in lifestyle can
all cause loneliness in seniors, or
others for that matter.
Loss of family and friends:
This seems pretty obvious. Someone loses a
spouse that they have lived with for 50+ years.
Suffering the loss of a spouse may feel like
they have lost a part of themselves – and they
have. Losing most or all of one’s siblings can
also make one experience grief and loneliness.
If you lost your siblings, how lonely would
you feel? The ones they have had the closest
friendships and ties with might also be gone.
This impact cannot be underrated.
Physical changes:
Many physical changes occur which can
lead to loneliness including eyesight worsening, mobility decreasing, and cognitive impairments. These physical changes can lead to
loss of driving privileges which can be a very
traumatic loss. This very independent generation cannot visit their friends, shop, or go to
the doctor without assistance. They have gone
from independent to dependent. The same
conditions that made them lose their driving ability can hinder their social interactions.
Maybe they cannot recognize her friends as
easily as they used or they might start forgetting their friends and families names due to
dementia. And maybe they are hard of hearing, so social interactions can be even more
embarrassing due to their inability to hear
what is said. Remember, this is a very proud
generation.
Lifestyle Changes:
During the aging process, we normally must
change our lifestyle. We need to downsize our
home into an easier to maintain, single level
home. They may move into a new location to
be closer to their family so they need to make
new friends at their new location! They may
have lost their spouse so they go from couple
to widow/widower. They may still be grieving
the loss of their spouse and now they are in a

Spring clean your temple
NUTRITION
By Chef Wendell Fowler
You are a worthy miracle: Capable of
achieving greatness, brimming with energy
and overflowing with joy. Alas, when life gets
messy, you beautiful divine wholeness is diminished.
In today’s world, you are unescapably exposed to more environment toxins than in the
history of mankind, leaving you unable to become the person you were meant to be.
Are you always fatigued? Is your elimination sluggish? Got skin irritations, allergies,
low grade infections, puffy eye or bags under your eyes? Are you bloated, menstrually unbalanced and mentally confused? Is that
what’s got you down, Bucko?
Lighten your toxin load; eliminate drinking
alcohol, coffee, smoking cigarettes, consuming refined sugars and flours and agrichemicals on fresh unwashed produce. They all pollute your temple obstructing your healing
process and divine connectivity.
Cleanse your temple daily with these diet,
supplements and lifestyle tips:
• Deep breathing increases immunity and
helps remove toxins by stimulating the lymphatic system. Simply inhale deeply from the
stomach up into the chest for a count of four,
then holding the breath at the top for another count of four. Exhale the breath slowly for
a count of eight, getting all the remaining air
out at the end of the breath. Repeat at least
five times. Breathe deeply to allow oxygen to
circulate more completely through your system
• Eat plenty of fiber, including quinoa, flax
seed and organically-grown fresh fruits, raw
beets, radishes, cabbage, broccoli, Spirulina,
chlorella, and seaweed are excellent detoxifying foods.
• Cleanse and protect the liver by taking
herbs such as dandelion root, burdock and
milk thistle, turmeric and drinking green tea.
• Vitamin C helps the temple produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives away
toxins.
• Drink at least two quarts of water a day.
• Transform stress by emphasizing positive
emotions and setting in voiceless silence for
30 minutes.
• Take a very hot shower for five minutes,
allowing the water to run on your back. Follow
with cold water for 30 seconds. Do this three
times, and then get into bed for 30 minutes.
• Sweat in a sauna so your temple intelligence can eliminate wastes through perspiration.
• Dry-brush your skin or try legit Spa foot
detox bath to remove toxins through your
pores. You can find special brushed at any natural products grocery store
• The most significant detoxify; exercise.
Yoga, running, walking or jump-roping are
outstanding. One hour every day. Be sure to
break a sweat.
Even the smallest conscious action makes a
difference. Transform yourself.

No lolling about
with grammar
GRAMMAR GUY
By Jordan Fischer
Question: “Hi, Grammar Guy. I read your
reports on The Southside Times, which
covers the Southside communities of
Indianapolis. Ever since I found them, I
make-a-point to check out your comments
every week. I cut them out, and am putting
them in a binder, for reference.
As a person that enjoys tutoring the
English language to Hispanics in my area, I
really try to teach good grammar. The kids
from the past are picking up the ‘StreetEnglish,’ too, so when I see them during
the summer, I start noticing the changes.
They use ‘duh’ for ‘the,’ ‘I seen’ for ‘I saw,’
’di-dent’ for didn’t and etc. I really cringe at
the last one.
I was using the vocabulary lists on shortvowel-sounds. We came across ‘loll.’ I told
the student it was‘a period of calm in the
midst of a storm or pause in music that
is playing.’ Then got to the short-vowel U
sounds, and saw ’lull.’ Right away I knew
my mistake. I realized I did not know
the word ‘loll’. I got out the dictionary to
compare the 2 words.
‘Loll’ is to hang out, dangle loosely or
droop. I was not familiar with this word.
I am not afraid to get out the dictionary,
in front of my students and admit ‘I don’t
know.’ Mostly I use it to get the Spanish
definition, so I can translate the English
better to them. I am retired, so this a just
a fun way to use my extra time. Have been
doing this for 15 years. Keep up the good
work!” ~ Mrs. Clem Sare
Answer: Thanks for the letter, Clem! Normally I wouldn’t print one this long in its entirety, but I loved your story so much I wanted
to share it with my readers.
“Loll” is actually a very interesting word. In
addition to the definition you provided above,
there is also “angle of loll,” which in sailing is
the term for a ship that cannot remain upright
stably.
More interesting for us landlubbers,
though, is a unique use of “loll” you’ll only
find in America: “lollygag.” The Oxford English Dictionaries estimate “loll” entered the
language in late Middle English – around the
1600s. But “lollygag” doesn’t show up until the
1840s, and only in America.
If you’ve ever been accused of lollygagging, you’ll know what it means: to dawdle; to
fool around; to waste time. You can see how
it evolved from the intransitive verb form of
“loll,” which means to sit, lie or stand in a lazy,
relaxed way.
We Americans love to play around with and
modify the language – and that’s great. While
you’re out there fighting the good fight, you
may even come across the next Americanism
that’ll sweep the continent. If you do … let me
know!

Southport State Bank history
returned to original building
Southport - A bronze plaque with the
words “Southport State Bank” caught attention from the City of Southport and the Perry
Township Historical Society at Christy’s Auction during a 2014 estate sale. After years of being hidden away in a local home, the plaque will
get mounted at its original location at 2201 E.
Southport Rd., with a public dedication on Friday, April 17, 11 a.m.
The Perry Township Historical Society will
offer a presentation about the bank’s history and significance at the April 17 dedication.
Senator Brent Waltz will dedicate the plaque
and historical marker.
“I was really excited,” said Barry Browning,
a member of the Perry Township Historical
Society. “As far as I knew, all the traces of that
bank were long-gone. When the plaque came
up for auction, Christy’s secured it for the city.
I’m just tickled. It’s good to see the plaque returned in the bank’s history.”
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.
That may not have been the only time the
bank was robbed in its history. Browning says
he was a witness to a robbery when he was
young, around the same time as the 1956 heist,
but he can’t recall if it’s the same incident.
“What I remember, I was spending the day
with my aunt and uncle,” Browning said. “I was
4 or 5 years old. We were in their car. My uncle
had to stop by the bank. At that time there was
parking on Southport Road. You could park on
the side of the street, across from the bank. My
uncle went in and we sat there and sat there. As
a fidgety kid, we were wondering what was going on. My aunt gave me some change. I went
across the street and got a bottle of orange
pop. There were windows on the bank. I put
my hands over my head to look into the windows and see what was in there. I said I didn’t
see anybody. I told my aunt and she said that’s
ridiculous; there had to be people in there. My
uncle finally came out and told my aunt asked
what happened and he said, ‘We were robbed.
They held us at gunpoint and made us lie on
the floor and took our wallets.’ That’s the story I
remember as a kid.”
Browning said they didn’t want to see the
plaque just sitting on a shelf someplace. By
mounting it at its original location, now E.M.
Company owned by Greg Schaub, it will allow
the public to see it and become a visible part of
where Southport is today.
“Our history was saved from being destroyed,” said Southport Mayor Jesse Testruth.
“The bank was the main area for the community to come to. It’s exciting. I can’t wait to see
this all in place.”

Love at First sight
Fay and Pat Shockley share their experiences through more than 50 years at First Christian Church of Beech Grove
WHERE WE WORSHIP
after one visit at First Christian
Church, they said they haven’t
been anywhere else since. Pat
said they continue to grow in
their faith at the church, always learning different meanings behind the scripture.
“We have friends that we’ve
had the whole length of the
time we’ve been there and
friends that have come along
that are very precious to us,”
Pat said.
Fay and Pat Shockley initially chose to attend First Christian Church of Beech Grove
because it was close – about two or three
miles from their home.
“Distance, that’s not enough to hold you
there,” Pat said. “You find that it’s the house
of God. You’re happy. As long as it’s a Christcentered church, a God-centered church,
you’re in a good place.”

Does something sound familiar?
DEVOTIONAL
By Paul Kirby
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king
of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had
done to Jericho and her king, so he had done
to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of
Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were
among them;
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon
was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and
because it was greater than Ai, and all the men
thereof were mighty. ~ Joshua 10:1-2
The city of Jerusalem has been around since
nearly the beginning of time. What makes Jerusalem so interesting is that in its earliest
years of existence it was an enemy of the army
of Israel that had crossed the Jordan River to
occupy the land of promise. It was a fortified
city that did not fall into the hands of the Jews
until David became king. It was he who finally took the city and made it the capital city of
the Jews and the kingdom of Israel. He did
so because it brought all the 12 tribes of Israel together as one nation or kingdom. David brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and placed it in a tabernacle there and
there it remained until Solomon had the temple built after David’s death. Following Solomon’s death the kingdom divided into two
kingdoms: Israel to the north and Judah to the
south. Jerusalem remained the capital of Judah politically but Samaria the capital of Israel to the north. However, Jerusalem remained
the spiritual capital of both.
Jerusalem and the temple fell into the hands
of the Assyrians and finally the Babylonians.
The Babylonians sacked the city, destroyed the
temple and tore down the walls. For 70 years
Jerusalem lay in ruins until Cyrus the Mede
permitted its reconstruction. Then, before
Christ was born, it was ransacked again and
destroyed by Epiphanes (the Greeks). Herod
was in the process of building a new temple
at the time that Christ was born but it was
not completed until 67 AD. It is this temple
that disciples marveled at and pointed out to
Jesus as a marvel of construction which was
something the Jews could take pride in. Jesus
was not impressed with it for He knew that it
would not stand there for much longer. It and
Jerusalem would be torn down and vacated
because of their rejection of Him as the Messiah of the Jews.
God spoke glowingly of Jerusalem under
David’s and Solomon’s reign. He called it the
city where He could put His name and a city
where He could dwell among His people. Je-
sus, on the other hand, wept over the city because it was a city where He was not welcome
and by being there at all was to put His life
at risk. He had told His disciples that He was
going to Jerusalem to suffer humiliation and
death. He was right. He did.
What Jesus pronounced was its fate, was
its fate and for no other reason than its rebellion against God. The manifestation of this rebellion was seen in its rejection of the Son of
God.
The Jerusalem of modern times is not the
Jerusalem of that time but it is a city where to
a large degree it continues to reject Jesus as
the Son of God.
God bless and go and have a great day.
