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

A Guinness World Record was broken last year when 8,459 babies had
their cloth diapers changed simultaneously. The Great Cloth Diaper
Change is at it again, aiming for even
more parents and babies to participate
on April 18, 11 a.m.
“More and more people are learning
about cloth diapers so they’re switching over,” said Donna Reintjes, owner of Growing Spurts Kids Clothes at
1001 N. State Rd. 135, Greenwood.
“People tell their friends and get them
on board. Raising awareness is what
this is about. It’s keeping diapers out
of the landfills. It saves money and
they’re cute.”
Growing Spurts will be a host again
this year, with the event taking place
at Southport Church of the Nazarene,
920 E. Southport Rd., Indianapolis.
Registration is from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m.
Reintjes recommends participants to
come early, as the first 80 will receive
free ‘swag bags’ filled with goodies for
the babies. Door prizes will also be
given. Vendors will have booths set up, food and drinks will be available and a surprise popular
children’s character will attend. Proceeds from any event support The Real Diaper Association,
a volunteer organization which raises awareness of cloth diapers in the U.S. and Canada.
This is the fifth year for the worldwide Great Cloth Diaper Change. The event, which takes
place on Earth Day, is designed to not only break a world record, but raise awareness of the
economic and environmental benefits of cloth diapers. Parent participants must be 18 or older,
with a baby 39” tall or less, and bring a reusable cloth diaper to change into at the event.
“It was a big hit last year. A lot of people enjoyed it,” Reintjes said. “I look forward to hopefully
having more participants.”

given away during the Great Cloth Diaper Exchange at
her shop, Growing Spurts Kids Clothes, 1001 N. State
Rd. 135, Greenwood (pictured below).

READERS' WRITES
Greenwood Library prepares
for parking lot work
Hunger Inc. and Southport Meijer
store partner to provide hunger relief
Beginning April 13, Greenwood Public Library will remain open during a two-month
parking lot project. The front parking area
of the library will be closed as crews demolish and repave the parking lot and repair/replace sidewalks. The Meridian Street entrance
will be closed. Patrons may enter through the
Madison Street entrance and park on the
Madison Street (west) side of the building.
The sidewalk and front entrance will remain
open during most of the project. Alternate entrances may be used when the front sidewalks
are redone, and signs will direct patrons. Students walking from the Junior High and from
Our Lady of Greenwood must walk to the
Madison Street side of the building as even
pedestrian traffic will not be possible from the
Meridian Street side. This project is funded by
a partnership with the City of Greenwood and
the Redevelopment Commission.

Q: Next week is national volunteer
week; have you volunteered in
your community recently?
"No, not recently
but I plan to start
inJune when I
retire. I'm interested
in working with
a nursing home
and I'm looking
at volunteering at
Community East."
"I have been doing dog
rescue for eight years and
I will continue to do that.
There is a need to help and
assist dogs that are found
on the streets. We educate
as well on spaying and
neutering, microchipping
and keeping pets healthy.

well as people."
Pamela Carter,
works in Perry
Township
"I volunteer for Relay for Life, (Susan G.) Komen (for the Cure), and well
as the Arthritis Foundation which will be with Greenwood Meadows.
I’ll be partnering up with them. For Relay for Life we will be doing a
Mary Kay / Bingo event to raise money our goal is to raise $1,000. It
will be at the VFW at Greenwood on Washington Street. I volunteer for
Relay for Life and Komen because my family has had a lot of cancer. I
have lost aunts, uncles, and both my father and step-father to cancer.
I just recently got in touch with the Arthritis Foundation through
Greenwood Meadows and this will be my first year with them."

People in our community continue to struggle to pay their bills and put food on their tables. I am pleased to announce that Hunger
Inc. has joined forces with the Meijer Simply Give food pantry donation program this
spring to help fill that void for our local families.
Hunger Inc. will benefit from donation
cards purchased at the Southport Meijer store
March 29 through May 11. When customers
at the Southport Meijer purchase a $10 pantry donation card, it will be given to Hunger
Inc. and the Southport Meijer store will match
every donation. As an added bonus Southport
Meijer will double the match of every $10
pantry donation card purchased on April 17
and April 18.
I want to encourage you to help us fulfill
our mission of helping feed the hungry in Perry Township and Beech Grove by purchasing
a food donation card during your next shopping trip to Southport Meijer. Please tell your
friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers
because every dollar makes a difference.
And when we give, Meijer gives. For the
fourth consecutive year, Meijer will contribute at least $1 million to over 200 food pantries in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Kentucky.
We are grateful for this program as it allows
us to help serve those who need food in Perry
Township and Beech Grove. In 2014, Hunger
Inc. was able to help feed over 14,000 people.

RFRA issue is
unsettling
We shouldn't have to display signs like
these to reassure the public. Simply put, you
open a business to do business with all. If you
want to pick and choose, it's a hobby, no longer a business.
Businesses grow and prosper when we celebrate our diversity and customer service.
There simply isn't any other way to succeed.
The arrogance of a "super majority" has
damaged a community that, up to now, was
making great strides in showing the world
that "Indianoplace" and "Naptown" was old
news and no longer defined us.
Please make every effort to Shop Local and
help our businesses work past these difficult
times.

We recently moved back to the midwest after having spent many decades in Miami. The
whole RFRA issue was very unsettling to us especially since we were not quite sure where
folks within our new community may fall out
on it. You have no idea how wonderful/refreshing and quite pleasing it was to see your
editorial view in the April 2-8 issue of The
Southside Times.
Thank you for taking a stand for tolerance,
acceptance and diversity appreciation. Rep.
Kirchhofer is to be commended for her brave
stance as well. We were disappointed in our
own Rep. Speedy.

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

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

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

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

Nate Williams
Southport police officer aims to
continue advancing his career
Compiled by Nicole Davis
Working for a smaller police department,
Nate Williams said gives reserve officers like
himself more first-hand experience and exposure to various situations. Having served as
a reserve police officer on the Southport Police Department for three years, he said he’s
learned a lot by working with the ‘city within
a city.’
“I love the job,” Williams said. “It’s 98 percent mundane kind of things and two percent
where the adrenaline is going. I like that. I like
being ready for that.”
Williams, a Greenwood High School graduate, currently resides in Perry Township.
When he’s not with the SPD, he works as a
contractor.
What has been one of your most
gratifying on the job?
Any time there is a positive outcome involving kids. A lot of the time where we’re involved, it’s a negative situation for someone.
If there’s a child that gets the help they need,
kids always seem very grateful.
What aspect of the job do you
find most challenging?
The constant pressure, with everything

CGHS student competes in
regional, state science fairs
Center Grove High School sophomore Rachel Chan competed at the
Central Indiana State Science & Engineering Fair held on the campus of
Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis on March 21, 2015.
Rachel qualified to compete at the state level after being chosen at the
regional at Marian University March 7.
Rachel was one of 23 students chosen to attend the national science
fair in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as an observer in early May.
BEHIND the BADGE
What was your inspiration to
become a police officer?
I really just fell into it. I always knew I could
never work a desk job or where you’re doing
the same thing over and over. I started in loss
prevention, met a lot of officers and decided
that’s the way I wanted to go.

Rachel Chan
Jeff Cardwell elected Indiana
Republican Party chairman
What do you enjoy doing in your off-time?
I love being in the woods; hunting, fishing,
shooting, sports, camping, hiking. If I can’t do
any of that, I play video games and read a lot.
Indiana Republican State Committee members elected Jeff Cardwell to
serve as state party chairman. Gov. Mike Pence recommended Cardwell to
fill the leadership post left by former Chairman Tim Berry who resigned
earlier this month. In 2013, Cardwell was appointed as a senior advisor
and special assistant to the governor. Pence appointed him in 2012 to serve
as the executive director of the Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives. In 2007, Cardwell was elected to the Indianapolis City-County
Council and was re-elected again in 2011. Cardwell serves as president
and CEO of Do-it Best Home Center. He is involved with The Fuller Center for Housing and Habitat for Humanity, and he helped establish the
Jeff Cardwell
People Helping People Network, a not-for-profit charitable organization. Cardwell is co-president of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Motorcycle Drill Team,
a member of the Kiwanis Club of Indianapolis and Grace Assembly of God of Greenwood. He
resides in Indianapolis with his wife, Cheryl, and they have three children.
What are your future goals,
professionally or personally?
I’m hoping to make sergeant. I was promoted to corporal about six months ago. I hope to
keep advancing my career.
What would you have done if you
hadn't of became a police officer?
I probably would have opened my own firearms training company or gun shop. If I wasn’t
doing this, I think I’d have to be my own boss.

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

‘Ya got trouble’
More than 100 youth rehearse for April performance of
Music Man through Center Grove Fine Arts Academy
FOCUS
By Nicole Davis
More than 100 youth ages 8 to 18 auditioned for Center Grove Fine Arts Academy’s Music Man to be performed in April, for
which Director Kathy Phipps says they decided to cast them all. To give everyone a chance
to perform, Phipps says they double-casted
the speaking parts and increased the number
of performances from one weekend to two.
“It’s an amazing thing to hear 100 children
singing,” Phipps says. “The group numbers are
so powerful. It’s such a beautiful sound. It will
be an enjoyable evening.”
CGFAA, through Center Grove Church,
hosted its first-ever musical, Godspell, last
July with 30 youth auditioning. They hosted Shrek the Musical in November with 60
auditioning. That cast was approximately 50. CGFAA will present Music Man
with its largest cast on April 17-19 and
24-26, Fridays at 7 p.m.; Saturdays at 2
and 7 p.m.; and Sundays at 3:30 p.m. at the
church, 340 S. State Rd. 135, Greenwood.
Cost of admission is $5 for adults and $3
for children.
“Music Man is a classic golden-age musical show that many people have grown
up loving,” Phipps says. “The music is
beautiful. The story is great and the music is great. It’s some of the best
music that’s ever been written for musical theatre. We’ve
done two newer shows and thought it would
be a good fit to do a more classic show.”
There are 15 speaking parts for the musical, all except one double-casted. Phipps says
it has taken a lot of preplanning to have 85
people on stage for each performance. Center Grove Church is filled with the actors/actresses preparing for their lines, rehearsing
the choreography, working on costumes and
other aspects of the show.
“There is a real need for performing arts
opportunities in our area,” Phipps says. “There
are many talented singers, actors and dancers… There are talented young people eager
to have the opportunity to learn more about
theatre and grow more in the performing arts.
It’s very gratifying to see that we can meet a
need that obviously needs to be there.”
The show’s performers have come from all
around Central Indiana, including New Palestine, Fishers, Morgantown and more. The students say they share in not only their love of
theatre, but the environment that CGFAA has
provided.
“This is my second show,” says Madison
Hines, of Greenwood, who plays a dancer.
“Once I got here, all the people were so nice.
It’s almost like a giant family. Right away, you
are included. It’s nice to have this community
right away.”
Cast members rehearse six hours a day,
two days a week. Hines says while learning
the choreography and singing have been challenging, it’s all worth it when they get to see
the audience’s reaction during performance
time.
“When the curtain goes up, you are amazed
at how it all comes together,” says Mikaela
Smith, a Perry Township, Indianapolis resident who will dance and play the character
Maud. “It’s a family-friendly and a wonderful
environment. There are scenes that everyone
will enjoy. We go around the audience. The
audience is a part of the show.”

Missionary visits Nativity Catholic School
Sister Loretto Emenog, a missionary from Africa, recently visited Nativity Catholic School. She
came to tell the school children that they can be
missionaries right here at home. She reminded the
students that obeying their parents, doing well in
school, and being kind to friends is their mission.
She discussed that many of the children she worked
with did not have parents, enough to eat or a comfortable place to sleep. She said many of these children could not attend school. She asked each of the
students to say the following simple prayer every
night or morning, “Thank you, Jesus.” The school
plans on having a service project to help the Holy
Childhood Association next fall. This is the association the Sister Loretto works closely with, and the
students look forward to contributing to it.
Pictured, Sister Loretto talks about her work in Africa.

“If you could plan the perfect way to celebrate
Father’s Day with your dad, what would it be?”
Father’s Day is just one day out of 365 to show our fathers appreciation for
raising us and helping to shape us into who we are today! Though we try our
best to appreciate Dad the whole year round, we sometimes lose track of all he’s
done for us. Take this Father’s Day as an opportunity to show Dad how much
you care with a genuine letter from you, personally! Though we know it’s difficult sharing all the wonderful things about your father in just one page, we ask
that entries do not exceed one page or 300 words. Elementary or middle school
students from the following schools are eligible to submit one essay: Beech
Grove, Center Grove, Franklin Township, Greenwood and Perry Township or
if you attend a public, private, parochial or charter schoool in zip codes 46107,
46142, 46143, 46203, 46217, 46225, 46227, 46237 or 46239. Please include your
name, age, grade, and school or home address on the letter as well. The three best entries will be selected and
published in the June 18 issue of The Southside Times.

her class.

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

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

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

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

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

2. Stir in peanuts, peanut butter chips and
toffee bits. Cover and refrigerate 2-3 hours
or overnight.
3. Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with
parchment paper. Gently form into balls
and flatten slightly to about 1/2- to 3/4inch thickness. Freeze dough on baking
sheets for 10 minutes or until firm. Bake
about 12 minutes or until light brown on
edges. Cool on baking sheet on wire rack
3 minutes. Place cookies on rack to cool
completely before storing.

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

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