Despite what many people believe these days, the most important thing to remember is not every injury means someone is to blame... However, in situations
where you don't know whether a third party might be responsible, it makes sense
to get some advice on how to proceed.

Q: How has Halloween changed today from when you were a child?

JB Baker of Perry Township
"When we were children we didn’t have the money to
buy costumes. If we were fortunate enough our parents would give us a quarter and we would go down
to the local drug store and pick out a mask that was
attached to your face by an elastic type string. I used
to wear my father’s old clothes on Halloween and I
would go around wearing that mask. I dressed up like
a tramp, because it didn’t cost anything. I was just wearing my dad’s
old clothes."
Joe Seiter of Perry Township
"The costumes for one thing. We used our own
clothes, bought used clothes or borrowed clothes.
The trick-o-treating is also different. Children today
don’t go door-to-door as much with more of them
going to parties at their church or school. Our church
has a truck or treat and that seems to work out better.
I understand it is for safety and I think that is a good
thing."
Helen Hicks of Greenwood
"It is much more commercialized now. It isn’t a kidfriendly activity. It is more organized with parties and
church groups."

Southport is fortunate
to have experienced
building commissioner
At last week’s Board of Public Works &
Safety meeting Mayor Jesse Testruth “apologized” to Duane Langreck for attempting
to have him resign as Southport’s Building Commissioner. Testruth defended his
actions by stating that when something is
brought to him, his job is to “protect” the
city. His research into the supposed concern
was off base. Had he bothered to check our
Building Standards ordinance, he would have
known that the alleged allegations brought
to him were unfounded. Our ordinance was
approved by the Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission and endorsed by
their Chairman on July 2, 2013. Testruth received a copy of that letter of approval. The
contract the city has with Langreck does not
require any credentials. Our ordinance does
not require the Building Commissioner to
have any education or experience to perform
the duties.
Testruth’s actions didn’t stop there. Prior
to talking with Langreck, the mayor came
into my office to deliver a notice to cease assigning permits and to refrain from paying

Langreck for any work until further notice.
While in my office, in front of three other
people, he stated Langreck had committed fraud because his architect license had
expired. He said that all of the work Langreck had done (inspections) was not legal.
He also referenced “all the money” Langreck
had made from performing these inspections. Langreck is not paid a salary or hourly
rate by the city. Rather he is paid a percentage of each building permit issued once the
inspection has been completed and all necessary paperwork is submitted to my office.
The Common Council then approves the
payment.
Our city is fortunate to have a Building
Commissioner with education, experience
and integrity. For someone to try to ruin a
person because of a personal vendetta is unconscionable. It seems some things never
change. And that is very sad, indeed.

Clerk-Treasurer, City of Southport
Environmental work to
begin in Beech Grove
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has recently issued a permit for the City of Beech Grove to remove
two underground storage tanks on municipal properties. After Oct. 26, the City can
proceed to remove the underground tank
located at the Department of Public Works
and the tank that is located behind the police station on Churchman Avenue. This is
a program to protect the environment and
to isolate our fuel dispensing to one location. As part of the removal program, above
ground tanks will be removed as well at Sarah T. Bolton Park, behind the fire station on
Churchman Avenue and at the Department
of Public Works. A new above ground tank
will be installed at the Department of Public
Works for dispensing.
Once this program has been completed,
the only property that city vehicles can fuel
their vehicles is at the Department of Public
Works.
On another note, work will soon begin on
another sanitary sewer update. Within the
next week televising and cleaning of sewer
lines will take place and lining should begin
around the first week of November. Those of
you in the affected areas will receive notification from Miller Pipeline when the actual
work will begin.
A friendly reminder that the city will offer
free shredding on Saturday, Nov. 14 behind
City Hall from a.m. to Noon.

HUMOR
OUR VIEW
‘Tis the season
holidays are spooky
A manager at a local grocery store was
moving Halloween decorations to prepare
the shelves for the next display. As a customer walked by, she exclaims, “It’s not time
for Christmas already!” The manager shoots
back a smile and says, “No, I’m getting ready
for Valentine’s Day.”
Yes, he was joking, but it really is a sign
of how fast these next few months are going
to go by. We have Halloween next Saturday.
Thanksgiving in November. Christmas in
December. Or Hanukkah in between. Whatever you do or don’t celebrate, it’s likely these
next few months will be filled with holidayrelated activities.
Don’t get too caught up in it all, but do
take the time to enjoy everything we have
to offer on the Southside. We love to promote our local events – and we have some
great ones available for families, no matter
your interest or budget. Halloween-themed
events will begin this weekend. Greenwood
has its Monster Mash on Oct. 23, 6 – 8:30
p.m. at the Greenwood Community Center. Southport has a free Halloween parade
and party on Oct. 24, 5 p.m. parade and 6
– 9 p.m. party at the Southport Community
Center. The Garfield Park area has its Ghoulish Garfield on Oct. 28 and 29, 1 – 4 p.m.
at Garfield Park. Beech Grove Parks Department will host this Halloween party with a
Silly Safari show on Oct. 31, 5:30 – 7 p.m.
at the senior center. There is so much more
– so be sure to check our calendar for up-todate listings or email your events to news@
ss-times.com.
We’re looking forward to the upcoming
holidays: to seeing children looking cute in
their costumes, to time spent with family
and friends, to seeing how Southside residents will come together to give back to one
another or celebrate. Just be sure to slow it
down enough to enjoy it all!

Feedback: From pain to…
well, not so painful
Commentary by Gus Pearcy
You know that high-pitched screech that
can sometimes come from a sound system?
You quickly jerk to cover your ears because
of the intensity and unpleasantness of what
is commonly called feedback.
Feedback is also what we call criticism of
our performance at work or even in our personal lives. It can be an ear-wrenching task
to listen to someone spout off about our performance. It makes you want to cover your
ears and run for the nearest ice cream shop.
We blame the messenger. If the recipient
isn't liking the feedback it must be the fault
of the manager giving it. Did you ever think
we just don't know how to take criticism? No
matter how artful critiques are offered; they
only work if the receiver is ready to listen.
A book titled Thanks for the Feedback by
Sheila Heen and Douglas Stone tackles the
issue of feedback from a new perspective.
Early in my writing career, I had a horrible
time with feedback. This was a smash on my
identity in a field where I wasn't comfortable.
As my skills grew, I became more accepting
of feedback. My mindset was one of learning. If feedback threatens our self-perception, it generates feelings of anguish and we
become defensive sometimes.
That's the thing: We want to learn to be
better, but we have to be ready to listen and
mull over the advice. Our human blind spot
is ourselves. We can't see how we come
across to others. Our mind is constantly
aware of our intentions whether or not we
telegraph those to others is the key to great
communication.
How often have you received feedback
just to blow it off because you don't respect
the giver?
Another feedback problem is truth. What
if you don't believe the feedback? A manager
gives you feedback about your sales presentation and tells you to be more aggressive?
You think you're already pretty aggressive.
Do you ask questions about specific behaviors, or are you offended by the notion and
blow it off.
Learning to give feedback is helpful, but
we should also work on how to hear it without inserting our fingers in our ears.
One way to change our perception of feedback is to ask for a simple suggestion to improve. Don't wait for the large dossier during
review time. Simply ask. It can go both ways.
It can be a request from a boss or a subordinate. Feedback is a constant process and
most people can easily think of one or two
things to make you better.
This tactic works in two ways. It will
change the perception that you are not
open to feedback (because you were dumb
enough to ask) and that you really want to
improve changing future feedback from a
compassionate giver.
Criticism is tough to take most times. But
it gives us all an opportunity to improve ourselves which, in turn, makes us better and
more readily accepted.

housed those personalities in an era of locally produced, low budget programming
where, with a little innovation, anything was
possible. The rectangular building located
at 3490 Bluff Rd. sat empty for several years
in a weed strewn lot with its lone antenna
still reaching into an Indianapolis sky. Its
heyday produced an exciting Mecca of live
shows and creative thinking, often pushing
the boundaries. However, its time came and
went. In October of 2015 it was bulldozed to
the ground.
Bloomington resident and entrepreneur
Sarkes Tarzian was the founder of one of
the country’s first small town television stations. Originating in Bloomington, the station eventually transitioned to the location
on Bluff Road, keeping the southern operation as a satellite station. What started as
an affiliate feed for the ‘big’ boys—ABC and
NBC—changed as tiny WTTV-4 became independent, airing their own newscasts, local
sporting events, talk shows, syndicated cartoons and old movies. Consequently there
emerged a diverse catalog of personalities
quickly becoming central Indiana household
names.

ghosts of faded childhood memories where
a camera sitting in the center of the studio
would rotate 360 degrees, locking in on different sets, and different hosts that I remember to this day:
Cowboy Bob (Bob Glaze) and lunch
hour’s Chuck Wagon Theater. He would almost wink at you with the absurdity of it all;
teacher Janie Hodge in several incarnations

had a killer smile and wore short skirts; Peggy Nicholson with Peggy’s World and Peggy

felt she would just float away; Sammy Terry’s
Nightmare Theater. Bob Carter made Friday
nights so campy that the movie played second fiddle to his undead charm and wit.
There were the staple talk shows, Bob
Braun and Jim Gerard, along with frequent
Ronald McDonald (Don Barnes) appearances. And when Championship Wrestling
alumni Dick the Bruiser (William Afflis)
stopped by, it was always a memorable visit.
There are those ghosts we have to let go
in time. Thanks for the memories, WTTV!

Every time I go down there, like this past trip, there’s something weird that goes on.”
Hinton said paranormal investigating for him is more
about a personal interest, questions he would like to have answered. He said they all have the same questions, and there
have been no answers.
“It’s a mysterious world out there,” Hinton said. “When
you have an experience that you can’t explain, you might see
things through another set of eyes.”
For anyone looking to get into paranormal investigating,
Hinton said to be sure to get into it for the right reasons.
What is not shown on TV are the long hours spent sitting in
silence in the dark, listening and waiting for something that
may or may not happen, hours spent afterwards listening to
recordings taken during the investigation, to again potentially not find anything.
“It’s more of what you hear,” he said. “We set out visual
audio recording. We have hours and hours of this stuff to
listen to. So we hear a lot of audio and shadow movement.
You’ll get something in pictures. Do you see full blown apparitions? No, not usually. You may go your whole investigative
career and not see anything.”
Hinton began sharing his experiences on the paranormal
in articles on examiner.com. One reader struck up a conversation with him on Facebook about the topic. He met that
reader, Laura Brown, one day at Gas Light Inn on the Southside of Indianapolis, a place said to have paranormal activity.

Together, they sat in the basement, listening to see if they
heard anything. They didn’t. Two years later and Laura has
gone on all but one paranormal investigation with Hinton.
They married on Labor Day this year.
“She’s very level-headed and somewhat sensitive,” Hinton
said. “I rely on her instincts, when she says something’s not
right. It’s good have someone there you can trust.”
While his main focus is private home investigations, Hinton said there are a couple of larger places he looks forward
to visiting this year, including an infirmary in West Virginia and an elementary school in Ohio. For more information

few friends. S.I.G.H.T. Paranormal was formed late 2012, his
team which investigates residential cases. The group is part
of some paranormal societies, which help assign cases to different teams.
“There are areas that no one touches and those are where
we started going,” Thrasher said. “We aren’t there for the
whole ‘come look at me’; we’re here to find out what we can.
There’s too much evidence that people have come across, too
much to say there’s something else out there.”
Thrasher said his memorable experience is documented
S.I.G.H.T.
Chris Thrasher
Chris Thrasher was 16 when
he had his first experience
with the paranormal. After his
grandpa decided to move to
Missouri from a small town in
Northern Indiana, Thrasher
was given the task to drive one
of two cars, his grandpa’s car for

driving the old vehicle with no
radio and no air conditioning that summer. They each carried CB radios to communicate to one another.
“I enjoy this story. I get chills every time I tell it,” Thrasher
said. “It was an interesting introduction to the weird things
out there.”
They were in Illinois when they hit a construction zone,
a long 45-mile stretch of construction. There were two or
three cars in between Thrasher and his family, a semi directly
in front of him.
“Highway hypnosis is fully set in, so I'm sitting here like
I’m going to fall asleep,” he said. “I hear a voice on the CB
that’s says ‘watch out kid.’ It startles me, and I was trying to
figure out what it was. About 10 seconds later the tire of the
truck in front of me blew out, rubber everywhere. I asked
my grandpa, ‘how did you know that would happen?’ They
didn’t know what I was talking about, hadn’t heard it. From
that point I was always curious as to what was it, why did it
warn me?”
Thrasher decided he really wanted to pursue his interest
of the paranormal, and formed an investigative team with a
The Southside Times
on S.I.G.H.T. Paranormal’s account on the Sound Cloud app.
They set up for an investigation at Thornhaven Manor in
New Castle, Ind. The front room is set up to where there is a
couch against the wall, and on the other side of the wall is a
staircase. They were sitting on the couch and shut all doors
in the house aside from the one that leads to the staircase.
They heard noise over the Ovilus, a device which converts
energy into words, then a loud crash on the staircase.
“For every piece that we think we know, we get 20 more
questions,” Thrasher said. “Some of the stuff that we have put
together at this point, we’ve noticed if there is a person who
is not ready to leave their physical body, you’re more likely
to come across the impulses and residual from that person.”
Thrasher, who works as a deputy for the Marion County
Sheriff ’s Department, said that while he hasn’t had as much
time this year to invest in the paranormal investigations, he
has plans for places he wants to visit next, and theories that
he would like to test such as whether digital recording or cassette recording will produce more evidence. His hypothesis
is that cassettes will produce more results.
“Our agent has a saying and I like it,” Thrasher said. “The
paranormal is normal. The supernatural is natural. They’re
just not yet understood.”

What do you hope to learn,
personally, from conducting
paranormal investigations?
“I wanted to prove that they (the spirits) are actually
who they portray to be. I want to know, why did this
person leave and this person stay behind? I want to
know if we have a choice.”
– Rick Hinton, of Southport
South Central Paranormal
“I’d really like to know what happens once our physical body ceases to function. I am one of those believers that matter isn’t created or destroyed, it’s just reassigned.”
– Chris Thrasher, of Perry Township

“There is a here-after. There is a place that we go.
When I first started, I thought that. I always felt there
was something after this. But now because I’ve had so
many experiences, I know that there is something after this. That kind of takes away that fear of death. To
me and a lot of the people I work with, dying is just
the physical side of you and it's not the spiritual side
of you that dies. To me, it’s a blessing to know what everyone wants to know; what’s after this?”
– Tim Poynter, of Franklin Township
Spirit Paranormal
Tim Poynter
There is no doubt in Tim
Poynter, Franklin Township
resident, that there are spirits that walk this earth – souls
that may be lost and need help
finding their way to where they
belong. That’s why he’s not
searching for ghosts; he’s trying to make a connection with
them through his participation in the Indianapolis-based
group, Spirit Paranormal.
“Our job with Spirit Paranormal is to help people that have
issues with spirits, but also to help the spirits,” Poynter said.
“We don’t go in and just say ‘oh yeah, you have ghosts.’ That’s
kind of like a painter going in a home, saying ‘you have to
paint that wall,’ and leaving. We go in, try to establish who’s
there, why they’re there and try to solve it.”
Poynter’s interest in the paranormal began at a young age,
after a plane crashed in London, Ind., not far from his home.
He said it created a large paranormal area that everyone
would talk about. He would go to the site to explore.
“I met a couple of groups, joined them to see what they
were doing,” Poynter said. “It always seemed to me that it
came down to someone was looking for money to do something. That was not for me. I do a lot for charity. I want to
help people.”
Helping is the focus of Spirit Paranormal, which concentrates on private investigations and ridding a house of ghosts
or paranormal activity. The five-member group will often
work with other local groups on cases, when they need help
or more people.
“When I first started this group, I thought our job was to
help the spirit cross over,” Poynter said. “As I found out, that’s
not really a goal. Some of the spirits are supposed to be here.
Others are stuck. We try to help those who feel like they’re
stuck.”
This time of year is the busiest for Poynter, as interest in

bad thing. Being haunted is part of being alive.”
Poynter said he will often go on an investigation with people saying they have a demon in their house.
“Come to find out, it’s just mom, grandma or grandpa,”
he said. “They just don’t know how to interpret it... I’ve had
some really touching investigations. One was on 10th street
near Irvington where they lost their daughter to drugs. They
had a lot of activity in the house. The activity would mimic
the actions of the daughter. We did a two week investigation.
At the end of the investigation, the stepdad had written a letter to her about how he felt. When she died, the letter had
disappeared. We found out that she had the letter. They said
there’s no way she could have it. He had it after she passed
on. A week later they called and said we were right. He had
taken the letter and put it in the casket with her. When I

went back and did the EVP work, at the very end, we got
a very clear thank you for making the connection with her
step-father.”
Poynter is retired and spends his time doing handyman
and charity work. He says his biggest thrill is to help someone realize that it’s true, ghosts do exist, and he looks forward to continuing to do just that.
“All of our cases are by word of mouth,” he said. “Someone
had a problem and run into someone that had a problem.
One of my favorite saying is the spirit will find a way. We end
up in the weirdest places with the oddest connections but it’s
always some place that we needed to be.”

AAA Insurance shares Halloween safety tips
During the Halloween season, no one
chooses the trick over the treat, but sometimes, mischief simply can't be avoided.
"Unfortunately, property vandalism and
injuries tend to spike on Halloween night,"
said Greg Seiter, public affairs manager for
AAA Hoosier Motor Club. "So, it's important to make sure you're covered for whatever hijinks might occur."
Prepare for Pranksters
Vehicles are nearly twice as likely to be
vandalized on Halloween as on an average
day, according to the Highway Loss Data Institute. To avoid having your car egged or
even stolen, park it in a secure garage or a
safe, well-lit area. Double check that car
doors are locked and windows are up. Arm
your car alarm if you have one.
Look out for Black cats, blind spots and
Batman
Drive slowly and be on the lookout for
creatures that can appear from almost anywhere. Turn your headlights on earlier in the
day to spot children from greater distances.

Contest
Don't hesitate to use your horn if you're concerned that trick-or-treaters may not see you
coming. Never drink and drive.
Light up the night
Generous lighting outside of your home
will help keep the creeps away while providing safe passage to party guests and trick-ortreaters. Make sure walkways and stairs are
clear of debris and well-lit to help prevent
slips, trips and falls.
Follow safe pumpkin protocol
Keep candles, lit jack-o-lanterns, matches and lighters where children can't reach.
Trick-or-treaters in unwieldy costumes - or
masks that limit sight - are particularly at
risk of brushing against open flames. Use
flameless candles if possible.
Beware the brew
Keep a close eye on party guests. Depending on local laws, you could be liable for injuries that partygoers cause to themselves
or others while still at your party or driving
home. Serve non-alcoholic beverages and
food along with your preferred potion. Stop
serving alcohol at least one hour before the
party ends.

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield partnered with
The Lions Club of Southport Inc. on Oct. 17, with
more than 30 volunteers coming to help with landscaping and fall clean-up.
“It worked wonderfully,” said AJ Johnson, president Southport Lions. “The Anthem people were extremely pleasant and hard workers. I think they truly
enjoyed themselves, judging by the number of people
playing on the playground equipment after they were
done. Everyone seemed happy. It was a very good experience.”
Volunteers painted all of the parking lot bumpers
yellow, painted the sheds, the enclosure for the dumpster, did general cleanup of dead wood and debris
from along the creek and more.
Southport Park, 6901 Derbyshire Rd., closed to the
public from Oct. 12 to 18, allowing for the maintenance department to prep for and lay down 160 cubic
yards of mulch – one and a half semi loads, according to Rob Bettcher, head of maintenance. The parks
department was awarded a $1,000 grant from Lions
Club International which helped purchase some of
the mulch.

and drinks at the city’s family-friendly Mardi Grasthemed Halloween Party on Oct. 24, 6 – 9 p.m., with
those proceeds going to their general fund which supports community initiatives.
“(The park clean-up) worked out well for the city in
terms of making the park look good before this coming Halloween weekend event,” Johnson said. “Getting the mulch down was important for the play areas, but the park just looks nicer.”

Saur claim in the suit they filed on behalf of
the two city employees.
Among the incidents cited in the lawsuit
is a claim that “McMillan has called Lockwood a pain in the a.. and stated that his
goal is to get rid of her. And he prohibited
her from entering his (the clerk’s) side of
the building, where the restroom is located.”
There are more restrooms on the other side
of the building where Lockwood now works
with the mayor.
The suit also says McMillan has called
Mohr “a liar, and turns his head when he
walks by her in the hallway and yells at her
in a hostile tone.”
McMillan’s attorney Karen CelestinoHorseman denied the claims and said,
“Dan’s a fine man and these allegations are
baseless.” McMillan could not be reached for
comment but his attorney said the timing of
the suit seems politically opportunistic. The
lawsuit was filed but unnoticed by news media for weeks until copies were distributed
recently.
She also pointed to language in the investigation report to the council last year that
could be interpreted as “a roadmap” to politically knock McMillan from office in this
year’s election.
“There are two sides to every story. Dan
wants to address these allegations in court.
For now, he’s trying to run on his record and
rise above this mess,” she said. “Some people get upset at some belt tightening. But the
city has gone from a deficit to a surplus.”
Mayor Buckley declined to comment
about details in the lawsuit since the city is
a defendant. “I’m not privy to the nuts and
bolts of the case,” he said, adding that he
would be “very disappointed” if the allegations of a hostile workplace are proven to be
true.
The mayor acknowledged that he has been
aware of an unusual number of women leaving their jobs with the city since McMillan

came into office in 2012. The council investigation last year reported at least eight resigned or were fired, citing issues with McMillan.
The mayor is seeking re-election but notably is not running alongside fellow Democrat McMillan.
Details of the allegations contained in
the seven-page lawsuit are very similar to
a nine-page report to the council in June
2014 by attorney Amy J. Adolay with Ogletree Deakins. The law firm was hired by the
council to investigate complaints from both
men and women claiming to have been verbally abused by McMillan. A three-page redacted version of the report, without names,
was released by the council in July 2014. The
full report, including names, was confidential until recently, when it became a public
document through the state’s open records
law.
At least 14 men and women were interviewed in that investigation. Nearly all of
them reported second-hand or personal
experience with a pattern of behavior particularly directed toward women in City
Hall, but also toward men and women department heads, top brass in the police and
fire departments, the director of the senior
services agency, vendors to the city and the
public.
The report said McMillan was overheard
“yelling at the top of his voice” at the city’s
traffic court judge in a closed-door meeting
with the mayor. Top ranking police and fire
officials said they tried to avoid McMillan
as much as possible because of his repeated
abusive behavior.
The council report disclosed that at least
eight women left jobs with the city claiming
to have been victims of harassment, intimidation, discrimination and belittling from
McMillan. Men and women told the council’s investigator that workers in the office
would often appear upset and crying.

Nick Roll
Firefighter says he couldn’t image a day that
he didn’t work for Greenwood Fire
BEHIND the BADGE
Serving at Station 91 in Greenwood is
where Nick Roll says he feels most at home.
Having graduated from Ivy Tech with
a degree in fire science in 2001, he began
working part-time for the Greenwood Fire
Department in 2002. In 2007 he was hired
full-time to the fire department in Franklin, still maintaining his part-time status in
Greenwood. He left Franklin last year to go
full-time in Greenwood.
“This is where I started, where I learned to
do the job,” Roll said. “I was 21 when I started here. I’ve stayed here in some capacity for
the past 13 years. I really couldn’t see a time
that I didn’t work at Greenwood Fire Department. I like the size of the city. The whole
city of Greenwood is put together nice as
far as moving forward. I like the atmosphere
here.”
Roll is a 1998 graduate of Southport High
School, currently residing in Franklin Township with his wife, Jamie and three children,
Chase, Keeley and Teagan.
What was your inspiration to
become a police officer/firefighter?
I was kind of lost after high school. I tried
a couple of different things. I went to Ivy
Tech for automotive. I did a semester there
and worked a semester for Ford at a dealership. There was nothing wrong with the job.
It just wasn’t for me. I was looking at different options and got a book on majors from
Ivy Tech. I saw fire science program listed
there. I talked to the head of the program;
I didn’t know anyone in it at the time. It felt
like it was just what I was looking for. I liked
the team aspect. I played football in high
school and was missing that after I graduated. I found a job where I could be part of a
team and make a difference. I enrolled at Ivy
Tech and got fire science degree.
What has been one of your most
gratifying moments on the job?
Helping people. I feel like people call us
at their weakest moments and we show up
trying to make a difference. Not everything
we do is a true emergency but those people
called us for a reason. They were calling out
for help and we show up and try to make
their day better. It’s gratifying to know that’s
what I do for a living. It’s the little things and
it’s the big things.
What aspect of the job do you find most
challenging?
Besides the obvious, the bad runs, the
most challenging is missing my family. We
are here every third day. I have three kids
and a wife. It seems I’m always missing a
baseball game, birthdays, holidays. It’s hard
on my wife. Life doesn’t stop just because I’m
here. We make it work.
What do you enjoy doing
in your off-time?
I like spending time with my kids. Two
aren’t in school so I’ll watch them. I try to
spend as much family time as I can.
What are your future goals,
professionally or personally?
Professionally, to continue to grow as a
fire fighter, take classes, grow in my job and
career.
What would you have done if you hadn't
of became a police officer/firefighter?
I was lost when I found this. I didn’t have a
second option. Maybe construction or landscaping.

Oldest Living Person with Down
syndrome is in Greenwood
In honor of October, Down Syndrome
Awareness Month, Down Syndrome Indiana
(DSI) recognizes Martha “Marsie” Mathauer. Marsie is believed to be the oldest living
individual with Down syndrome in the State
of Indiana. Life expectancy for people with
Down syndrome has increased dramatically
in recent decades. When Marsie was born
in 1935, individuals with Down syndrome
weren’t expected to live past 9 or 10 years
old. In 1983, an individual with Down syn-
drome had a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years.
Today, the life expectancy is 60. Yet, Marsie,
a resident at University Heights Health and
Living Center in Greenwood, has surpassed
all odds and celebrated her 80th birthday
this past July. Family members describe her
as, “such a blessing to all who meet her. She
has gifted all of us with her humor, laughter
and kind heart.” For more information, visit

autism chosen to be MVP
General Manager Terry Moberly enjoys the view of Scotty’s Brew Club at Hillview Country Club.
Dining with a view
Scotty's Brew Club to celebrate grand opening
with week-long celebration
FEATURE
By Nicole Davis
Sitting on a patio facing the golf course,
diners can enjoy a full meal with a scenic
view. Hillview Country Club and Scotty’s
Brew House struck up a one-of-a-kind partnership this year when they formed Scotty’s
Brew Club. The franchise restaurant opened
on July 27 inside of the clubhouse, 1800 E.
King St., Franklin.
“The distinction is we don’t do exactly
what Scotty’s Brew House does,” said General Manager, Terry Moberly, Greenwood resident. “That’s more of a college club in a small
community. We have to cater to a different
crowd. We added steaks. We have a more extensive wine menu. With this balance, we’re
trying to be respectful to our roots and our
clientele who want a little more grand dining
experience.”
Scotty’s Brew Club will host a week-long
grand opening celebration from Oct. 26 –
Nov. 1. Included in the celebration, they will
have activities for children on Oct. 27, 5 – 7
p.m. with face painting, pumpkin painting,
Darth Vader and Tinkerbell appearances and
gummy worms; the public is invited to watch
the Thursday night football game between
the Patriots and Dolphins on Oct. 29; Oct.
30 the Franklin Fire Department will come
with its fire truck from 5 – 7 p.m. when Fire
house Chili will be served for $4, a hay ride
around the golf course will take place 5 – 9
p.m. and corn hole tournament at 6 p.m.;
and a Haunted Ribbon Cuttying will happen
on Oct. 31, 4 p.m. with live music beginning
8 p.m.
“Once you find us, you will love us,”
Moberly said.

Seventeen-year-old Matthew Hovey is so
excited about seeing his favorite NFL players
– Andrew Luck, Robert Mathis, Pat McAfee
and Anthony Costonzo – in person that, a
couple of weeks ago, he made a paper chain
to help him count down the days. Now he’s
down to the last few links on that chain. He’ll
be at Lucas Oil Stadium to see the Colts play
the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 25. Thanks
to his hard work and a partnership between
the Colts and Damar Services, Matthew will
arrive in style, catching a ride in a limo before getting the full MVP treatment at Lucas
Oil Stadium.
Diagnosed at a young age with autism
spectrum disorder, Asperger's Syndrome
and a variety of other issues, Matthew receives help and treatment at Damar Residential Services. Since being placed there
about two years ago, he’s made tremendous
improvements. That’s been a huge relief to
his parents, Chris and Bonnie Hovey of Perry Township, because there was a time when
Matthew’s outbursts and tendency to run
away meant it was no longer safe for him to
live at home.
This won’t be the first time Matthew and
Chris have seen the Colts, but it will be their
first real game. Long-time fans, they attended a preseason game a few years ago, and
Chris has also taken his son to a Dwight
Freeney camp, a father-son camp with former coach Tony Dungy, and even a celebrity softball game that featured Colts players.
Matthew has a collection of Colts autographs. Matt will be joined at the game by
his parents and his Damar counselor, Richard Njeri.

Nativity Students Experience Fantasy Club
Seventeen Nativity Catholic School Students in grades 5-8 took
part in a first-of-its-kind club during Quarter One: Geek Out! The
club was designed for boys and girls who are fans of Harry Potter,
Doctor Who, Percy Jackson, the Mortal Instruments, comic books,
anime, etc. Each of these is commonly called a “fandom.”
Over the course of six meetings, the students played a competitive card game in which they debated which “fandom” character
would prevail in a battle; wrote and/or illustrated a fanfiction story
based on a randomly generated topic; created their own superheroes and origin stories; and shared prize possessions during show
and tell.
The culminating activity was a game of Quidditch, the wizard
sport in the Harry Potter series. With the help of several families,
a Quidditch pitch went up on the football field behind the school.
Club moderator Mr. Boyle, the middle school literature teacher,
got the idea for Geek Out! from his hometown library.
Club member, 8th grader
Erin Rooney, holds a trophy
she won during one of the
club’s games.

had four daughters, Linda, Jane, Barbara and,
Diane, and four sons-in-law, Jim, Randy, Bill and
Rocky. Her grandchildren are Rob, Randy, Nick,
Joe, Megan, Katie, Scott, Mike, Dustin, Bianca, and
Gabriel, and great-grandchildren, Kamryn, Lila,
Caleb, Haley, Mary June and Margot Lynn. June
especially loved traveling with her daughters. She
and Bob danced to Lawrence Welk in the family
room on Saturday nights. No audience. No live
music. Just two love birds enjoying the moment
and each other. Bob died in 2011, but June packed
a lot of life into her remaining four years. She traveled, attended weddings and reunions, played
Scrabble, and went to Bible Study. She was also an
artist who loved to paint pictures, sew, and decorate. June was a devoted Christian and spent her
time serving others, reading the Bible, and pointing people to Jesus. A celebration of life will be
held at the Greenwood United Methodist Church,
525 N Madison Ave., Greenwood, on Nov. 14, 2
p.m., with visitation hours from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Memorial gifts may be made in June's name to
the One Mission Society (OMS), the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association, or the Salvation Army.
Arrangements were entrusted to Wilson St. Pierre
Funeral Service & Crematory, Greenwood Chapel.

Be an inhospitable host
NUTRITION
By Chef Wendell Fowler
Flu season is here. No one deserves being
sick. It sucks. Well then, today’s the perfect
time to begin to fortify your Department of
Defense (DOD).
Everyone has a DOD: the immune system.
But it requires quality tools to get the job
done. A strong immune system doesn’t just
happen. If you’re building a football team and
draft poor players then don’t be disappointed
when you lose the game. Quality food infinitely trumps the convenient process food
that screams “Buy Me!”
If you get sick frequently in winter, more
than likely you’re doing something wrong
or unaware how food can affect immunity.
In my opinion, Flu season is not a season
as much as it is an inability for your body to
adapt due to decreased sun exposure, inferior nutrition, water intake, combined with
sugar intake and holiday stress.
Show yourself some love. Create health
and you create resistance! Start taking Vitamin D-3, the sunshine vitamin, get regular
exercise and sunshine, cut back on sugar and
white flour, keep hydrated, chill out, avoid
stressful people and situations, get plenty of
rest, frequently wash your hands, and by all
means possible, feed and fuel your temple
real food. Preparing fresh healthy meals instead of processed food is an act of love towards yourself and those for whom you cook.
Eating well is your best defense.
Foods that fuel immunity: Citrus, garlic,
shiitake and Maitake mushrooms, ginger and
turmeric tea, sweet potato, dark greens, yellow fall squash, dark leafy greens, red peppers. Steele cut or whole Oats with their
beta-glucan, more potent than Echinacea,
according to studies. Not instant, although.
Almonds have Vitamin E and pumpkin seeds
contain zinc that supports your DOD. Include fermented probiotic foods like Kombucha tea, kefir, Korean kimchi or yogurts that
don’t contain sugar or fruit.
Foods that trash Immunity: #1 Sugar, AP
flour, white rice, minute rice or instant oatmeal, soft drinks, bottled fruit juices, Mac
and cheese, burgers and fries, biscuits and
gravy, pancakes and syrup, fried chicken and
fish and alcohol. Stress, anger and hostility
suppress your immune system too. As you
can see, it’s your favorite friends that are betraying you. Is that Little Debbie and plate of
pancakes really worth a lost, sucky week of
misery? To perform its important job, please
understand you must fuel your temple with
the heavenly tools provided by a generous
God: food from nature, not a factory.

Bridge of Spies… Hanks shines
MOVIE REVIEW
By Adam Staten
There are very few actors and directors
more accomplished than Tom Hanks and
Steven Spielberg. Hanks has starred in some
of the most memorable films
of all-time. Along the way, he’s
managed to capture two best actor Oscar awards and countless
other honors. Spielberg, a threetime Oscar winner, has directed
such iconic films as Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List and
E.T the Extra-Terrestrial. The
two titans of the film world team
up once again for the recently
released, Bridge of Spies.
Bridge of Spies is the true story of an
American lawyer, James Donovan (Hanks),
who is given the unenviable task of defending a man accused of spying for the Soviet
Union during the height of the Cold War.
Donovan insists on providing his client the
best possible defense even when the jury
and the judge in the case are convinced of
the accused’s guilt even before the case gets
underway.
The man is ultimately found guilty of espionage. The judge hands down a sentence of
time in prison rather than the death penalty
as a result of the repeated requests of Donovan. Soon after, Donovan’s foreseen scenario plays itself out; an American is captured
in Russia and charged with espionage. Donovan quickly finds himself in a chess match

with the Soviets and the Germans as he attempts to negotiate an exchange of citizens
accused of spying on the others country.
Bridge of Spies is an extremely straightforward story. What you see is what you get
and there are no real surprises. Everything
that happens throughout is fairly predictable, especially the first
half hour or so. The film’s story is
so direct and kind of been-theredone that that it does tend to get
a bit boring in a few places.
However, Hanks does more
than enough to keep Bridge of
Spies moving forward and interesting. Some of the best scenes
of the entire movie happen in
the early portion of the film. The
verbal exchanges and the level of acting on
display between Hanks and the man playing
the Soviet spy is a sight to behold. While it
may not be an Oscar-winning performance,
Hanks’ work in Bridge of Spies is the best element of the entire film.
While Bridge of Spies is not the best film of
the year, you could certainly do much, much
worse at the theater. It is an above average
film with a very strong lead performance.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow
shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof." ~ Matthew 6:33-34
The kingdom of God, where is it and how does one
seek it if it doesn't already exist? Two very important
questions for those who seem to believe it has not arrived yet and who expect it to arrive sometime in the
future when Jesus returns for a second time. But, Jesus
said, "Seek...the kingdom of God." If He said we were to
seek it, then, that means that it is locatable. That means
we can find it.
In no less than 11 different passages in the New Testament Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is..." Now, "is"
is a present tense verb. In Romans 14:17 Paul wrote
these words which will help us in our understanding
what the kingdom of God is and what form it takes in
today's world: "For the kingdom of God is not meat and
drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy
Ghost." Jesus had previously told us in this sermon delivered on the mount that if a man was to hunger and
thirst after righteousness, he would be filled. Paul then
writes to echo what Jesus said in that the kingdom of
God is righteousness, peace, and joy. The righteousness Paul speaks of is God's righteousness so if one
wants to find the kingdom of God they have to seek
the God of the kingdom and seek to live a life of God's
righteousness. In order to have that righteousness one
must receive it from the Lord. How does one get it? By
and through the Holy Ghost of Christ Jesus. When one
finds Jesus Christ and accepts Him as their personal
savior then God forgives them of their sins and cleanses them from all unrighteousness.
God bless and go and have a great day.
Paul A. Kirby is the pastor at the Church of God at 3939 S. Emerson Ave.

“Beech Grove is a great place to live. But I know
that by working together we can make it better. My
goal is to keep the “small town feel” of Beech Grove
intact while improving our City to make it better for
all Citizens and businesses. I will work hard to solve
current problems, grow our economy, and enhance
the reputation of our City. I understand that taxpayers’ money is sacred so I will spend money wisely and
efficiently.” -Edward McDonald
