Southport Police Department swears in seven police officers
and recognizes promotions in family-oriented ceremony
The Southport Police Department held a pitch-in on Sept. 4 to swear-in seven new officers to the department, as well as recognize officers who
have earned promotions. “We’re trying hard to work to have a community-based police department and a family-based police department,”
said Major David Howe. “This was an opportunity to have the officers recognized for promotion and have their families there. The challenge
for running a department for him is we don’t all get to see each other all the time. (The day) meant so much as far as comradery.” The evening
gave officers’ families an opportunity to participate in a pinning ceremony for officers who were previously promoted. Additional officers
were also promoted and new explorers, part of a youth training program, were introduced. The evening concluded with a video tribute to
IMPD Officer Perry Renn, stating “we will always get out of our cars” followed by participation in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The newly
appointed officers are Matthew Carroll, Nicholas Rose, Jonathon Cook, Marcus Harris, Gabriel Harman, Ryan Bowersox and William Ballard.
Promotions were included Bob Curl-Assistant Chief of Police, Paul Tutsie-Detective, Kyle Vaughn-Sergeant, Nathanael Williams-Corporal,
Dawn Arthur-Corporal, Aaron Allan-Corporal and Joseph Parnin-Corporal. Recognized Explorers were Christian Howe, Ashley Butler-Snyder,
Austin Stover, Robert Hodge, Pinned Officers were, David Howe-Major, Ginger Robertson-Captain, Matthew Wright-Lieutenant, Lucas
Quinlin-Lieutenant and David Hodge-Sergeant.

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the
Southside Art League held its 23rd Anniversary Competitive Membership Show at the
Greenwood Public Library on Sept. 5. Art
work from the show will be on display in the
library through September.
“After 50 years, we are so pleased to be the
wonderful organization we are,” said Marge
Dietel, gallery coordinator, in an introductory
speech. “We have a good foundation to build
on and it’s all due to dedication, volunteering.”
The show was judged by Earl Snellenberger, a professor emeritus of art at the University of Indianapolis, and first through third
place winners were named for both professional and non-professional works. Best of
show was Donna Shortt for her painting, "Red
Roof." For the professional division, Beverly
Mathis of Greenwood took first place, Matthew Sheek of Greenwood took second place
and James Stalhut took third place. For the
non-professional division, Marianne Hamilton was awarded first place, Linda Helburn
second place and Jan Good third place.
“It’s the first time I’ve entered a painting in
one of these (competitions),” said Janet Boyle,
a White River Township resident of Bargersville. “It’s fun to see all of the other artists. It’s
an impressive variety of work.”

Top ten quotes from the
3-Hour Figure-8 race
by Torry Stiles
10. Southport's Ricky Schaeffer III - "I'm
just gonna be cautious and have a lot of
respect for those other guys: they're a lot
faster."
9. Shelbyville's Manny Aguilar - "I love
this. We're gonna do our best and hope to
finish halfway decent."
8. Some guy in the concession line "This race is Daytona, Bristol and Indy all
covered in awesome sauce!"
7. Larry Curry, track promoter - "These
guys are top-notch athletes in top-notch
equipment."
6. Mooresville's Donnie Garrigus, Jr., on
the problems with the son's car - "We're
junk but we're gonna deal with it."

Clash of Clans at World Championship Race
offers family tradition and controversy
FEATURE
By Torry Stiles
Saturday night was wild at the corner of
Kitley Avenue and Brookville Road. Thousands of fans from Connecticut to California,
from Michigan to Florida were at the Indianapolis Speedrome for the 38th running of the
World Figure-8 Championship 3-Hour Endurance Race.
The Speedrome was built in 1941 on Indy's
Eastside and was originally made for the open
wheel midget racers of the day. By the late
1940's stock car "jalopies" were the growing
craze and novelty events such as demolition
derbies and the Figure-8 race were presented.
Greenwood businessman John Stiles bought
the track in 1977 and launched "The 3-Hour"
as a season-ending, open competition extravaganza for the Saturday night racer.
The race's format of being a timed event
that adds more cars as cars drop out means
that no one knows how long it will last or how
many will drive in it. Past events have been
anywhere from 253 laps in the rain-and-snowshortened first race to more than 500 laps a
few times. Some years more than 75 cars entered the race with more than 50 on the track
at one time. Throw in the controlled chaos
that is a Figure-8 race, and it’s a wild ride.
Just as the Indy 500 is famous for its Unsers,
Andretti's and Foyts or NASCAR is known for
its Petty's, Earnharts and Allisons the 3-Hour

So You Think You Can Dance
By Nicole Davis
Franklin Township native Valerie Rockey recently competed in the Fox
televised dance competition So You Think You Can Dance. Competing
against dancers of all mediums from across the nation, Rockey placed second on the final show which aired the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 3.
Rockey held a meet and greet at her hometown dance studio, Tippy
Toes, on Sept. 6. She was welcomed with a lengthy line of fans waiting to
congratulate her on the achievement.
“Seeing hundreds of people waiting outside Tippy Toes to see me today
literally melted my heart,” Rockey wrote on her Facebook page. “THIS is
why I dance.”
Placing in the top ten means that Rockey will spend the next year touring with the other So You Think You Can Dance contestants.

Q: Where were you and what were
you doing on September 11, 2001?
"I was on my way to
work when I got the
call from my wife to
tell me what was going on. When I got
into work I tuned on
the TV and watched
in shock what was
going on. I probably
didn’t get much done
that day because much of it was spent reflecting on the events."
Jeff Chasteen,
Perry Township
"I was at my orthodontist getting my
braces fixed for a
monthly checkup. I
didn’t really understand what was going
on. I was probably
about 11 years old."
Britann Stegemiller,
Franklin Township
"I was at work. I used
to be the chief operating officer at City Bus
Company. I was in
my office and one of
my secretaries came
in and said a small
plane had hit the
World Trade Center.
We thought that was
very unusual but we went into the driver’s
break room to see everyone in the building gathered around the TVs in there and
looked on the TVs and saw the World
Trade Center smoking. I called my wife.
It was a tough day for everyone. I came
home and spent the evening in front of the
TV watching what happened."
Kyle Lomax,
Franklin Township
"We were down at
the casino in Tunica,
Miss. and it came
over the TV. Everyone
was in total shock.
It was horrible. We
didn’t even feel like
doing anything anymore there. I think we
just went back to the
hotel and just watched TV."

Meditation beneficial for career?
Scientists and researchers may have stumbled upon a hidden equation in the career climbing ladder
formula. A recent study published in the journal Psychological Science, people are more inclined to be
decisive and make rational business decisions after only 15 minutes of meditating. Regular meditators
also generally receive higher performance ratings and are less likely to quit. The study also found that
bosses or managers in stressful leadership positions who meditate may be better leaders.

On Sept. 4, representatives from multiple
Southside organizations met to plan a potential redevelopment project for the Old Southside Neighborhood. The meeting, held in Sacred Heart Parish Hall on South Meridian

local business owners were also in attendance.
After discussing recent and future area activities, including the Indy-Do Day set for

We walked together at the midnight hour.
We watched the starlit sky.
We dreamed we heard his prayer
While he waited to die.
No, not where he rests tonight.
He endured the troubled main.
This we know--his spirit still lives
To wander home again.
He’s coming home, he’s coming home
With his courage still in form,
With the soul of a distant child
Caught in the desert storm.
With no father there to guide him,
No brother with him to cheer,
No mother there to soothe his brow,
No family to shed a tear.
Just the coldness of a single blade
Resting on his silver cross
A full-grown man today
True to brave the loss.
We stand at the gate,
He is coming home.
We will sing redemption’s song
No more will he have to roam.
One child, one son, one father
Ready to hold his children’s hand.
Lost but not forever
In a strange forbidden land.
It’s home again
Where his soul can be free.
Where he can share our dreams
In this place where he is meant to be.

Wanamaker

people lost their lives in an unprecedented attack on American soil. The following weeks in
that infamous September of 2001 were intangible and strange. Amidst all the unknowns,
the sadness, the anger, we remember the solemnness of the skies – no planes drawing
contrails from here to there. Crisp, clean, and
blue, as if nothing had happened at all.
But despite all our tribulations, as a nation,
we banded together. We did what Americans
do best. We overcame adversity.
"Even here on our beloved
Southside, our communities have
grown stronger and we are truly
blessed to have service men and
women protecting our liberties…
We thank these brave men and
women who sacrifice so much of
their time, who dedicate their lives
to protect and serve the citizens of
our communities."
Since then, we’ve rebuilt. Even here on our
beloved Southside, our communities have
grown stronger and we are truly blessed to
have service men and women protecting our
liberties overseas – as well as the ones right
here in our backyards keeping us safe on the
home front.
We thank these brave men and women who
sacrifice so much of their time, who dedicate
their lives to protect and serve the citizens of
our communities.
Those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001,
have not died in vain. Their memory lives on
in every emergency personnel who bravely
dons the badge of honor. Whether an officer
steps boldly into peril to confront a dangerous
suspect, or a firefighter charges into a blazing
fire, or first responders work resuscitate an
unresponsive patient. Their heroism does not
go unnoticed; we thank you for it each and every day.
BELIEVE IT!
Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share
one with you.…
In Arizona, any misdemeanor committed
while wearing a red mask is considered a
felony.

Greenwood’s John Price was good
choice for State Legislator of the Year
We were not surprised when we learned on
Tuesday that John Price, Indiana State Representative (Dist. 47) was named the State Legislator of the Year by the Indiana Association
of Cities and Towns at its annual conference
in Ft. Wayne. We understand that he was specifically recognized for his support of local
government in general and municipalities,
and Johnson County in particular.
Prior to Representatives Price’s service
to Johnson County, he served in the United
States Army for six years as a Staff Sergeant.
He has served as Chairman of the Johnson
County Board of Commissions for the past
four years, the Johnson County Council and
the White River Advisory Board for a total
of 14 years. Currently, Representative Price
serves on the Financial Institutions, Local
Government and Veterans Affairs and Public
Safety committees.
Christian Maslowski, executive director of
the Greater Greenwood Chamber of Commerce wrote this in an email: “In addition to
being an engaged citizen legislator, Represen-
tative Price has been a supporter of allowing Central Indiana Counties to expand mass
transit. In fact, he amended the proposed
legislation that came out of the 2013 summer
study committee to allow certain Central Indiana Counties to organize transit if they so
chose (he added Johnson County whereas we
were initially left out). Maslowski also added
that Price “faithfully attends our Legislation
Matters Sessions.”
This honor couldn’t have happened to a
better person. John Price is the definition of a
true citizen legislator. Congratulations, John!

Beech Grove’s Ashley’s Army fundraiser gathers a crowd
Ashley and Martin Ausbrooks joined a fundraiser at the Eagles in Beech Grove on Saturday, Sept. 6 to raise
money for their medical costs. Ashley, who is pregnant with their first child, is undergoing treatment for
her breast cancer. “We had a great crowd and it lasted all day,” wrote Martin’s father, John Ausbrooks. “The
event was a great success and we thank everyone that came to lend their support including numerous local
businesses that provided donations.” Pictured is the gathering for the grand prize drawing.
SALUTE to HEROES
By Eric Ellis
In this section we honor our local law enforcement men and
women and first responders. Their daily commitment to protecting and serving our communities is a testament to not only

their lives in service to our communities, may we find solace in
remembrance of your honorable sacrifice. There is no nobler
deed; in our hearts you are second to none.
Join us, Southsiders, in saluting our local heroes!

On Sept. 12, beginning 5:30 a.m., The Father’s House will host the church’s 6th Annual IMPD Roll Call.
The congregation provides the officers with a meal and a gift before they head back out into the streets
of Indianapolis. Last year, the church began a campaign to provide each of the 200 officers attending
their event with a specialized gift: a life-saving Trauma Kit. Their effort soon became a citywide project
to equip all 1500 IMPD officers with a kit. And that effort soon spread nationwide, as communities across
the country learned of the project and sought to do the same for their own law enforcement. This year,
the church will present the 200 officers attending their event with a specialized hands-free LED pocket
light that will allow the officers to see or be seen in an emergency. Several local businesses have joined
with the church to support this event, including Simon Properties, The Buchanan Group, OB’s Catering,
Chef Dan’s, Papa Roux, as well as the Ladies Auxiliary at FOP Lodge #86. For more information, visit

Southport Antique Mall celebrates Patriot Day
through its monthly Vintage Marketplace
FEATURE
By Nicole Davis
In honor of 9/11, Patriot Day, the Southport Antique Mall (SAM) will recognize all first responders at its monthly Vintage Marketplace on Saturday,
Sept. 13, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Offering a 15 percent discount inside the store for first responders in uniform or with their ID, the community event will
also include an awareness aspect. Representatives
from the Indianapolis Fire Department, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the Fraternal Order of the Police will provide information.
The FOP will sell shirts with proceeds benefiting
the Fallen Officers Fund.
“The original decree that made September 11 a
holiday talked about trying to make it a day to honor and remember our first responders rather than
focusing on the negatives, the tragedy that happened that day,” said Piper Voge, marketing co-director for Southport Antique Mall. “Make it a time
to move forward and recognize how much our first
responders really do. We really felt this year with
the amount of violence and number of officers that
were lost, last year the number of EMS workers that
were killed, we felt it was an appropriate time to
thank them and make people aware of all they do.”
From 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Fire Engine 23B will join
the celebration, allowing children to climb on and
explore the truck. There will also be a social media booth where guests can take the Blue Pledge to
make their neighborhood safer. At noon, SAM has
invited Southport Police Chief Thomas Vaughn, Indianapolis Fire Department captain and other local
heads of departments for a free lunch. Just before 1
p.m., there will be a short ceremony and moment of
silence for all officers who have been lost, including
those during Sept. 11. More than 25 vendors will
offer vintage, repurposed, upcycled, and handmade
goods. Some of these vendors will offer more than
a 15 percent discount. Two food trucks will be joining them: Pierogi Love Indy and Citizens Hash. For
more information, visit southportantiquemall.net.

Beech Grove City Schools
Small Schools. Big Opportunities.
From the Superintendent
Beech Grove City Schools is extremely proud of the
many accomplishments of our students and staff. One
of those great accomplishments is the continuing success of our district's Hornet Enrichment Academy. Having just completed the second year of implementation,
the Hornet Enrichment Academy (HEA) allows the enrolled students to engage in their coursework in an innovative way. The program is based on flexible scheduling where both day and evening sessions are made
available to students for course completion. The HEA is
responsible for over 25 students being able to graduate with their high school peers. HEA students not only
completed their required coursework, but they also
produced a Senior Portfolio. This was a project-based
learning unit that served as their culminating senior
activity. The portfolios illustrated student research in a
career of personal interest. The HEA students collected
career and business artifacts and presented them in a
professional format. At the completion of the assignment, students participated in a professional interview
with our district administrators to practice their presentation and interview skills. This experience allowed
our students the opportunity to strengthen their career readiness skills while simultaneously boosting
their confidence level! This program has helped increase our graduation rate to 93%.
Students in Grades 4-12 continue to utilize a oneto-one technology device that integrates embedded
curriculum. Daily interaction with these technology
devices will better prepare
them for their next level of
education or chosen career
field. Students in Grades
K-3 have 16 iPads per classroom for their use. The
iPads provide an appropriate application of technology for the primary grade
levels. Students will be able
to read and listen to text
from the devices, and engage in interactive apps
that enhance literacy and
mathematics skills. This is

National Literacy Day Celebrated at South Grove Intermediate School
South Grove Intermediate School celebrated National Literacy Day on Monday, September 8. The theme of
International Literacy Day 2014 was “Literacy and Sus-
South Grove students take time from their lunch to read
tainable Development."
This year’s International Literacy Day was celebrated
worldwide. The main global celebration took place in
Dhaka, where the Government of Bangladesh in cooperation with UNESCO, organized an International Conference on Girls’
and women’s literacy and education.
On our local level in Beech Grove, South
Grove’s Reading Intervention Specialist,
Stacy Johnson, spearheaded the activities
for our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. These activities included:
• Hearing Principal, Mrs. Tonya Reid,
share her favorite book
during morning announcements
• Reading WHENEVER the students had
time AND at lunch!
• Making a special bookmark
• Taking A.R. quizzes
• Sharing favorite books with the class
And, in keeping with this year’s theme at South
Grove: “Be a SUPERHERO” – Mrs. Johnson shared with
each student the motto “Be a Hero and READ TO SUCCEED!”
Even though National Literacy Day is just one day, it
is celebrated daily at South Grove Intermediate School.
To further encourage our students to read and excel
in math, an Academic Night is being held on Tuesday, September 30, for all South Grove students. Each
student will receive their own book and a set of math
flashcards. This year’s Academic Night Program is
sponsored by the Beech Grove Education Foundation.
Mrs. Johnson continually reminds students at South
Grove to “Read, Read, Read.”

Ehresman Named Top 10 Finalist for Indiana Teacher of the Year
Center Grove Middle School Central
8th Grade Social Studies teacher
Matthew Ehresman is one of ten
finalists for the 2015 Indiana Teacher
of the Year. Ehresman was named
the 2013-14 Center Grove
Community School Corporation
(CGCSC) Teacher of the Year in May.
“This is a tremendous honor,” said
Ehresman. “To be recognized for
what I thoroughly enjoy doing is both
humbling and somewhat surreal.”
“We are excited to have Matt
included in this elite group of
teachers,” said Dr. Rich Arkanoff,
Center Grove superintendent. “Matt
is an exceptional teacher who is
dedicated to his students and
passionate about what he does. His
innovative use of Project-Based
Learning is a true asset to Center
Grove Schools. ”
The Indiana Teacher of the Year is
chosen by a selection committee
made up of former Teachers of the
Year. Every school district in Indiana
may nominate a candidate. The
winner will continue to teach this
school year. During the 2015-16
school year, the Indiana Teacher of
the Year is released from classroom
duties for a “year of service” during
Matthew Ehresman
which he or she will serve as a
spokesperson and advocate for
teachers through a full schedule
of speaking engagements, school
visits, legislative meetings, and
other duties around Indiana and
the country. The Indiana Teacher
of the Year will also serve as the
state candidate for the National
Teacher of the Year award.
Ehresman earned his bachelor’s
degree from Purdue University
and is currently pursuing a
master’s through Purdue. This is his
10th year of teaching at Center
Grove. He previously taught for
two years in Pike Township
schools. Ehresman and his wife,
Summer, have three daughters.

Summer Costa Rica trip opens new world for Woodmen
Greenwood High School students enrolled in varying levels of Spanish took a nine-day trip to Costa Rica
this summer.
Mrs. Mindi Neiswanger chaperoned the trip which
reinforced the cultural and linguistic learning of the
Spanish curriculum at GHS. Students had unending
opportunities to practice their Spanish while interacting with the “Ticos” (Costa Rican natives) as they participated in activities, such as visiting a school, taking
dance lessons, zip-lining in the cloud forest, a cooking
lesson, riding horses, bargaining in the open-air market,
and so much more.
Traveling abroad provided these students with the
opportunity to realize that there are other perspectives
of the world and that life is lived according to the resources available.
If you are interested in providing your child this sort
of opportunity, please contact Mrs. Neiswanger or Ms.
Herman for details about their European tour scheduled for Summer 2015.

BUS DRIVER OF THE
YEAR FOR PERRY
TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS
Mrs. Sherri Worley is
the 2013-14 Bus Driver
of the Year for Perry
Township Schools.
She began her bus driving career in the district
in January of 1996.
Sherri drives bus number 1275 with both a Sherri Worley
secondary route on the
Perry side of the district and an elementary
route for Douglas MacArthur.
Her husband, Rodger, is also a bus driver for
Perry Township Schools. They have been
married for 33 years and enjoy their four
sons, four grandchildren and three dogs (a
German Shepherd and 2 dachshunds).
Sherri Worley and her husband, Rodger
“Safety is my First Concern”
I start my day at 6:10 a.m. at the bus barn.
The first thing every driver, including myself, must do before they depart on their
route is a pre-trip “walk around.” This is a
visual inspection of the exterior of the bus,
including all mirrors, lights, tires, windows,
windshield, windshield wipers, reflectors,
under bus leaks and body damage.
I usually head out by 6:17 a.m. for my
secondary route. I have about 25 stops. I
“off load’ my middle school students at
PMHS to ride a different bus to their
school. Next, I start my elementary route
which has 15 stops.
My afternoon route runs from 2:00 – 4:30
p.m. I end each route with a “walk
through” the bus to ensure no students or
personal items are left behind.
As you can imagine, the first couple days of
a new school year are rough. I start stern
with the students; they need structure and
rules for their safety. The children always
must stop and wait to cross until signaled
by me. One of my mottos is “Back to Back,
Bottom to Bottom and Feet to Floor.” Once
seated, my bus riders are not allowed to
change seats while the bus is moving. The
bus seats are high to protect them, however,
anything, even a cell phone, can become a
missile during unexpected braking.
School bus drivers are required to hold a
commercial driver's license (CDL) and
participate in annual training which
includes a review of current policies and
safety issues.
One of the greatest challenges of my job is
staying vigilant. Safety is my number one
concern. I don’t ever want to be distracted,
but it’s hard to be perfect! Cars often fail to
stop when my flashing red bus STOP arm is
extended (especially on Madison Avenue)
so I must be watching at all times!
Of course, I like the kids and my work
schedule of 5 hours each day for only 180
days a year. I work with fantastic staff
members and supervisors. We support each
other. I value my job and attribute my work
ethic to my Bible training as a Jehovah’s
Witness. I participate in personal and family
Bible studies and attend Christian meetings
twice a week. I’m an open book, no secrets.
Sherri Worley
The couple owns a time share in Orlando
where they spend time every October. When
she isn’t enjoying Disneyworld or the pool,
she reads and works on jigsaw puzzles.
Outside of work, she really doesn’t drive
much, especially since she only lives 1.2
miles from the bus barn.
On special occasions, you might find Sherri
enjoying a meal at Carrabba’s, her favorite
restaurant.
Sherri is an admitted techie! She likes to do
everything on a computer. Her watch, a
Samsung Gear 2, is even digitally connected
to her cell phone!
Mr. Patrick Murphy, Director of Transportation, described Sherri as a very safe and
dependable driver. He said, “No matter what
challenge is thrown her way she handles it
head on and always with a positive attitude.
Mrs. Worley is an asset to Perry Township,
Perry Transportation and the students she
transports. We are very lucky to have such a
caring, hardworking dedicated driver.”
TRANSPORTATION
Nearly 12,000 students ride the bus each day in Perry Township Schools. The district’s 143 buses use diesel fuel and travel 8,900 miles daily.
Recently, the Transportation Department made several cost cutting measures including, a reduction in overtime hours, route optimization, and
agreements with vendors to lower costs on parts and wireless data. Parents may go online and use Versatrans to retrieve specific transportation
information regarding their child(s) bus assignment/number, bus stop location and pick-up/drop off times. Mr. Patrick Murphy is the Director
of Transportation.

in a project for our military service personnel. The students are collecting letters for military personnel who are active, reserve, and veterans - to receive messages
of encouragement, whether they are serving at home, abroad, or are injured in hospitals. Anyone can write an encouraging letter, expressing thanks to military
for their service to the country. All letters must arrive at the High School, to Ms. Tara Miller's attention, no later than Friday, Sept. 26. Drop off a letter(s), or mail to
Tara's attention at Beech Grove High School, 5330 Hornet Ave., Beech Grove, IN 46107. All letters will be opened and placed in a larger envelope to mail to the "A
Million Thanks" organization. The organization reads all letters before sending, to ensure all letters are positive and encouraging. A few requirements if you decide
to write a letter: each must be handwritten.

Hydrate Your
Way to More Energy
RECIPE
For SST by Family Features
Americans thirsting for more energy can
refresh their hydration habits by thinking outside the water glass. Some foods — including
flavorful, water-rich produce
like watermelon — can help
hydrate the body as well.
“Sliced, cubed or blended,
or even simply juiced, watermelon is a delicious way
to increase fluid intake and
boost energy,” said Elizabeth
Somer, a registered dietician
and author of several nutrition and wellness books.
“Watermelon is 92 percent
water, and the perfect ingredient for salads, salsas,
smoothies and more.”
With a distinctively sweet, refreshing taste,
it may be hard to think of watermelon as a
nutritious, low-calorie hydration boost. But
actually, beyond its high water content, watermelon is loaded with vitamins A and C,
potassium and magnesium, fiber and phytonutrients, such as lycopene.
Tips for picking the
perfect watermelon
Choosing a good whole watermelon at the
store may seem like a challenge, because the
thick rind hides the vibrant fruit inside. But
actually, making a good pick is as easy as 1,
2, 3.
1. Look the watermelon over. You are looking for a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is
free from bruises, cuts or dents.
2. Lift it up. The watermelon should be
heavy for its size; most of the weight is water.
3. Turn it over. The underside of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from
where it sat on the ground and ripened in the
sun.
Once you’ve got your watermelon home,
there are dozens of ways to enjoy it, including a wide range of cold, refreshing beverages. One easy way to up your water intake with
watermelon is this simple one-ingredient recipe for watermelon juice:
Just cut a seedless watermelon into one-inch chunks
with a sharp knife and place
in blender. Blend watermelon well until juice is smooth.
If you prefer, you can strain
the juice to remove the pulp.
For a little extra flavor,
try combining watermelon
juice with other fruity flavors, as in this Agua Fresca, which blends that natural sweetness of watermelon
with lime, a small amount of
sugar and water.

hydration with mouthwatering inspiration at

■ Link between Vitamin D deficiency and Alzheimer’s
A new study published in the journal Neurology shows that older adults severely deficient in vitamin
D may have twice as much of a chance to develop dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. A growing body
of research on Alzheimer’s connection with Vitamin D (which you can get from healthy doses of
sunshine, supplements, egg yolks and oily fish like salmon and sardines) suggests that Vitamin D plays
a much more important role in preventative healthcare than previously thought. – Yahoo Health
■ Dining out means more calories
A study published online by Public Health Nutrition claims that eating fast food or full-service
restaurants leads to “significant increase in energy, sugar, saturated fat and [salt].” Researchers looked
at data from over 12,000 persons aged 20 to 64 and saw that people who ate at fast food or full-service
restaurants consumed (on average) an extra 200 calories per day than people who ate in, cooking a
home meal. According to the study’s co-author, Lisa Powel, “eating out at restaurants should be the
exception not the norm.” – CNN Health

Center Grove High School Juniors Spend
“Day of Caring” Volunteering
Nearly 550 Juniors from Center Grove High School
fanned out across the south side community for
the annual Center Grove “Day of Caring." Students
spent the day cleaning, doing yard work, painting,
and even baking cookies at nearly four dozen
businesses, churches, and other locations in
Johnson County and the south side of Indianapolis.
“The students are helping us clear the walking path
around our property,” said Greg Jones, pastor of
student ministries at Southland Community Church
in Greenwood. “We have someone who mows for us.
But having the students get this done is just a huge
blessing for us.” “The Day of Caring is something we
look forward to each year,” said Doug Bird, Center
Grove High School principal. “This day helps our
students see what kind of an impact they can have
on their community just by rolling up their sleeves
for a few hours. The lesson of the importance of
community involvement is much more meaningful
when it’s learned outside the walls of the high
school.” The United Way of Johnson County partners
with Center Grove High School to organize all of the
outreach projects.
Discerning the hand of God: A master plan
DEVOTIONAL
By Pastor Paul A. Kirby
"Who knoweth not in all these that the hand
of the Lord hath wrought this? In whose hand
is the soul of every living thing, and the breath
of all mankind. Doth not the ear try words?
and the mouth taste his meat? With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. With him is wisdom and strength, he
hath counsel and understanding. ~ Job 12:9-13
It is very hard to discern what is by the hand
of God and what is by the hand of man or the
working of Satan. All too often we assign way
too much authority to Satan which means
that we blame him for our own actions when
we should be looking into our own hearts for
the reason for our behavior. Granted, Satan is
the source of all temptation of man to do evil
things, but temptation is not sin. Sin begins
in the heart when a person's own lust brings
them to plan to go against God's will. I repeat
again what I have often said and that is this,
sin always includes the will of a person. No one ever accidentally sins. Sin
is a decision and not an accident. We
can make all sorts of mistakes and not
one of them be a sin but when we desire to bend the will of God to satisfy a
fulfillment of our personal lusts, sin is
crouching at the door.
Now, it is hard for us to know what
God is doing. What is He doing in our
world today that is part of His eternal and temporal plan to draw the enemy of
Christ out for the last battle between them at
the end of time? We are so close to the end of
the age of sin on this earth that I can feel it in
my spiritual bones. Satan seems to be winning all of the battles but I promise you he is
not. God is simply allowing him enough spiritual rope to hang himself and he will do it. The
last day of time, God will deal with him and
winning a few little skirmishes now and then.
What matters to us is that we keep our faith
in God intact. We must not lose faith no matter how things appear to be. Job is in a mess
but God knew Job's heart and trusted that he
would not lose his faith. When we
come to the end of the book, we
will find that he did not but that
he got a better grasp by all of the
things he went through on the God
he had been serving but did not
know all that well.
Hang on and keep on serving the
Lord. It is the only way we will see a
positive end of life. Serving Satan is a
losing proposition.
God bless and go and have a great day.
"Job is in a mess but God knew
Job's heart and trusted that he
would not lose his faith."
all of those who follow him. Like Job, I don't
know all of what God is doing to bring this
spiritual warfare to its final conclusion, but I
do know that Satan loses the war even if he is
