ASCSeniorCare.com “Where caring people make the difference!” How a Chicago Doctor Shook Up the Hearing Aid Industry with His Newest Invention Nearly Invisible Digital Hearing Aid Costs 90% The doctor evaluated the high-priced digital hearing aids on the market, broke them down to their base components, and then created his own affordable version — called the MDHearingAid ®AIR for its virtually invisible, lightweight appearance. Reported by J. Page Chicago – Board-certified Ear, Nose, and Throat physician Dr. S. Cherukuri has done it once again with his newest invention of a medical-grade, ALLDIGITAL, affordable hearing aid. This new digital hearing aid is packed with all the features of $3,500 competitors at a mere fraction of the cost. Now, most people with hearing loss are able to enjoy crystal clear, natural sound — in a crowd, on the phone, in the wind — without suffering through “whistling” and annoying background noise. Digital Hearing Aid Outperforms Expensive Competitors Less Nearly Invisible! Affordable Digital Technology SAME FEATURES AS EXPENSIVE HEARING AID COMPETITORS Mini behind-the-ear hearing aid with thin tubing for a nearly invisible profile This sleek, fully programmed, light-weight, hearing aid is the outgrowth of the digital revolution that is changing our world. While demand for “all things digital” caused most prices to plunge (consider DVD players and computers, which originally sold for thousands of dollars and today can be purchased for less), the cost of a digital medical-grade hearing aid remains out of reach. Advanced Noise Reduction to make speech Dr. Cherukuri knew that many of his patients would benefit but couldn’t afford the expense for these new digital hearing aids. Generally they are not covered by Medicare and most private health insurance plans. 3 Programs and Volume Dial accommodate clearer Wide Dynamic Range Compression makes soft Feedback Cancellation eliminates whistling sounds audible and loud sounds comfortable Telecoil setting for use with compatible phones, and looped environments like churches most common types of hearing loss, even in challenging listening environments Using advanced digital technology, the MDHearingAid AIR automatically adjusts to your listening environment — prioritizing speech and deemphasizing background noise. Experience all of the sounds you’ve been missing at a price you can afford. This doctor-designed and approved hearing aid comes with a full year’s supply of long-life batteries. It delivers crisp, clear sound all day long and the soft flexible ear domes are so comfortable you won’t realize you’re wearing them. Try It Yourself at Home 45-Day Risk-Free Trial Of course, hearing is believing and we invite you to try it for yourself with our RISK-FREE 45Day home trial. If you are not completely satisfied, simply return it within that time period for a full refund of your purchase price. Can a Hearing Aid Delay or Prevent Dementia? A study by Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging suggests older individuals with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. They suggest that an intervention — such as a hearing aid — could delay or prevent dementia by improving hearing!

I am a teacher and hearing much better now.” — Lillian B., California “I have used many expensive hearing aids, some over $5,000.

Greenwood council approves TIF district A product of Gerald Sargent Publisher Emeritus Greenwood’s Common Council voted to approve both an economic development area (EDA) and tax increment financing (TIF) district for the area surrounding the new Interstate 65 interchange at Worthsville Road. The resolution allows Greenwood to collect property taxes from new development in the TIF district and dedicate those funds to projects described as critical for providing the needed infrastructure to attract development to the area. ss-times.com/greenwood-council-approves-tif-district Rick Myers, Publisher Brian Kelly Chief Executive Officer Nicole Davis, Editor Members of Carey Germana Production/Art Mgr.

Have you or anyone in your family served in the armed forces? Why do you appreciate our military? "My brother served in Vietnam and he retired from the military. When he came back he was really different. I didn’t find out until a few years ago what he had to do. When our soldiers were killed he had to bring the bodies back. It was hard for me to fathom him doing that. It gave me an appreciation of our military and what they had to go through. I also have a nephew in the military and he is making it a career also. I appreciate them for protecting our country and being there for us." Linda Privette of Perry Township "I have two wonderful nephews, AJ and Treavor Dibble. They are my brother’s two kids and they just recently joined. I certainly appreciate their young enthusiasm to join and support our country. It is such an honor to know that we have family members that follow my father— their grandfather— to make that next step. It is certainly encouraging to see young men that have that goal in mind to protect, serve and honor our country by serving." Chris Dibble of Greenwood "My great-grandfather served in the Army. My future plans are next year to graduate and join the Marines. I want to protect the people I care about and my family. I look up to people like that because they are putting their lives on the line for us and it is something that I’ve always looked up to." Jaylin Albertson of Southport "My dad was in the Marines for a short time and as I get older I have grown to appreciate the military for all they do to keep us safe. With Memorial Day coming up, we should remember that while it is important to remember their sacrifice every day and not just on those days." Doug Deerberg of Perry Township Muslim Youth Association holds community information event The Indiana chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, an auxiliary wing of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community will be holding a Holy Quran exhibition on May 14, 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Greenwood Public Library (Room B) located at 310 S. Meridian St., Greenwood. The purpose of this exhibition is to provide local residents with an introduction to Islam and identify commonalities between Islam and the other major religions of the world. The goal is to help educate and dispel common myths and misunderstandings about Islam. Those who attend will be able to ask any questions they may have about Muslims and Islam, including but not limited to: What is Islam? What is the Holy Quran? What is the status of women and their rights in Islam? What are the prophecies of the Holy Quran?

I don' t think she'd like me stopping for an "Amy." QUOTE OF THE WEEK “We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.” ~ Mother Teresa (1910-1997), Albanian Leader The Southside Times COMMUNITY City of Southport to conduct income survey The city of SouthSURVEY port is applying for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs (IOCRA) to improve our Community Center and need the help of the community.

Bottom, right: Sierra Scaggs and Aliyah Kehrt pick up trash along Main Street. The girls are members of Girl Scout Troop 625. As Diane and Joe Everett picked up trash along the sidewalk lining Main Street in Old Town Greenwood, cars drove by, some people waving; one biker stopped long enough to give a ‘thank you’ for their efforts. After being pushed back a week due to the weather, volunteers were able to gather in the parking lot of the Greenwood City Center for the 6th Annual Clean-Up Day sponsored by Restore Old Town Greenwood (ROTG). “I’m really excited to see the people that came out,” said Cindy Jo Minett, the Everetts’ daughter and board member for ROTG. “We are starting on the facades. It helps people to take pride in their community, for them to not just clean up for one day but want to keep the momentum going. I think others that drive by and see us in our shirts will also take pride and feel encouraged to take action.” As volunteers put on gloves and carried trash bags around the Old Town area, they could see the progress taking place in the city. ROTG has worked for years to fix up the area that was once neglected. The $1.7 million façade renovation project recently began, with 22 buildings undergoing renovation along Main Street and Madison Avenue. “Five years ago we had an 80 percent vacancy downtown,” said Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers to the crowd. “Now we have 90 percent occupancy. A lot of it has to do with what Restore Old Town Greenwood does.” COMMUNITY The Southside Times Jose Mejia Southport officer plans ways to further community/police interactions through proposed citizens’ academy The Indianapolis Public Library’s online collection of full-text local high school yearbooks now includes those from Beech Grove High School that date to the 1940s. Viewers can enjoy class photos and information about clubs, athletic teams, faculty and school-related activities that can be freely accessed and downloaded from the Library’s Digital Indy site at digitalindy.org. The collection of 52 Beech Grove “Hornet” yearbooks, scanned by the Beech Grove Public Library, joins those from all 10 original Indianapolis Public Schools high schools as well as Ben Davis, North Central and Warren township high schools. Begun in 1917 in a one-story brick build- Compiled by Nicole Davis Hearing about the close interaction between citizens and police officers in Southport was surprising for Jose Mejia when he was applying to the department. After going through the Southport Police Academy last year, he’s now getting to see that interaction first-hand as he serves the city. “You hear all of the bad media about police,” he said. “I think it is refreshing that the citizens of Southport actually back up the police department. The constant togetherness is very important because as an officer you can’t do your job if you don’t have trust.” Mejia moved from California to Perry Township at age 15, graduating from Perry Meridian High School. He currently lives in Perry Township with his fiancé, Sabrina, and son, Abel. Though he’s balancing a full-time job and going to college, he said he tries to work as many days as possible as a reserve officer for Southport, and enjoys being at the community events. What has been one of your most gratifying moments on the job? One of the most gratifying moments on the job was when my proposal to start a Southport Police Department Citizens Academy was approved and I began to work with Chief Vaughn on its development. The citizens academy will be one in which Southport citizens (and those outside of Southport as well), may apply to participate in. We will be showing citizens how and why police do what they do; clearing up misconceptions about police work and working towards understanding on both sides. These same citizens will also get to try 'non-law enforcement' sensitive police training and a few other surprises. We have also been in contact with leaders of the Burmese refugee community in order to design a program specific to the challenges refugees face while driving and/or interacting with police. These efforts are being well received and we hope to roll the program out within 2-3 months. Jose Mejia Photo by Nicole Davis What aspect of the job do you find most challenging? The time management. I’m trying to get into law school, have a full-time job and be an officer. I just get pulled in several different directions. What do you enjoy doing in your offtime? If I had time off, I like to spend time with my family. We go to the movies; I’ve been teaching my son how to shoot. I let them figure out what they want to do with me. What are your future goals, professionally or personally? I’d like to be a judge, at any level. I want to stay in law enforcement as long as possible. What would you have done if you hadn't become a police officer? I would have tried to get done with school faster and have more time with my family. 7 Beech Grove H.S. yearbooks added to IndyPL’s collection ALUMNI BEHIND the BADGE What was your inspiration to become a police officer? Growing up in a bad part of California. I grew up in Sacramento. You can’t go down the street without someone calling out your shirt color, thinking you’re a gang member. I made a promise to myself that I would be the one to stops that kind of stuff. ss-times.com • Week of May 12-18, 2016 ing at the corner of Tenth and Main streets, the Beech Grove High School has resided at 5330 Hornet Avenue since 1966 and has graduated over 10,000 students since its 1917 opening. Originally, student athletes were referred to as the “Yellowjackets” until a name change to “Hornets” in 1931. Many Beech Grove hardcopy yearbooks will be displayed on Saturday, June 4 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Beech Grove Public Library, 1102 Main St., during which the public is invited to celebrate the merger of the Beech Grove library as the 24th branch of The Indianapolis Public Library, which takes effect on June 1. The event also will kick off IndyPL’s 2016 Summer Reading Program and include a variety of family activities. Mad Max crashes clean-up day celebrations VOLUNTEERS While the Old Southside and Bates-Hendricks Neighborhoods were cooking up some hot dogs after the annual Keep Indianapolis Beautiful clean up last year, a roar could be heard in the distance that grew steadily louder.

Indy Fun Tours, indyfuntours.com, began in May. People can see popular and lesser-known sights from the seat of an air-conditioned trolley. The trolley picks up guests at Dick’s Last Resort, 111 W.

Tim joined the company in July and works Tuesday through Friday. Center Grove resident Erin Radoux is also a trolley driver. “We’re based on tourism but people that live in Indianapolis still come on the trolley and learn something about the city,” he said. “They say, ‘I’ve lived here my whole life’ and when it’s over, they say ‘I learned something new today.’ This forces people to take a look at things they’ve driven by a thousand times.” Tim said he continues learning about the Hoosier state and its capital city to offer the best, most informative tour possible.

Photo courtesy of indyfuntours.com A few highlights of the Indy Fun Tours, according to Tim... • The Indiana War Memorial is the best-kept secret in Indianapolis. It’s a free monument and museum. People go by it, see it, but many don’t go inside of it and explore. • Hurst Bean Company. Lucas Oil wanted to tear them down and relocate them. They’ve been in Indianapolis since 1938 and said ‘we’re not moving.’ People around the nation know about that bean company. • The Indy 500, the greatest spectacle in motor racing. If you live in Indianapolis, there are two things you can do on race day. One, be at the track and watch it. Two, turn on your radio and listen to it live.

Elvis & Nixon… two actors at the top of their game MOVIE REVIEW By Adam Staten Another election season is behind us, at least until November anyway. And according to the results, a majority of Hoosiers were either feeling ‘the Bern” or looking to “make America great again.” Nonsensical slogans aside, the two men who were able to capture the most Hoosier support are vying for the top position in the country, President of the United States. Only a select few have been able to call the White House home; some have gone on to be celebrated, while others are remembered far less favorably. One recently released film looks at a meeting between a beloved entertainer and a less than beloved president. Elvis & Nixon attempts to tell the story behind one of the most famous and likely strangest photos ever taken, following a meeting between Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley in the White House. The film begins with The King (Michael Shannon) quietly viewing multiple television sets at once. Pictures depicting drugs, violence and all kinds of questionable behavior until Mr. Presley unexpectedly pulls out a handgun and places several bullets in each of the TVs. The very next scene Elvis is seen causally strolling through the Memphis Airport. Eventually, Presley’s travels bring him to the gates of the White House, where he attempts to deliver a hand-written letter requesting a meeting with Richard Nixon (Kevin Spacey). From that point on Elvis & Nixon is back and forth between members of Elvis’s entourage and the White House staff as they try to broker a meeting. Despite Nixon’s reservations, the meeting happens. There Elvis makes his strange request, as the two men from two very different worlds are oddly bonded. As far as the story goes, it does begin with an interesting premise: The King of Rock-nRoll meets the quintessential paranoid, uptight politician. However, the story is way too thin for an hour-and-a half-long film. There is just not enough material present; it would have been better served as a halfhour, 45-minute short film. However, with Elvis & Nixon, all is not lost. Fortunately, the audience gets to view two masters at work, Michael Shannon as Elvis and Kevin Spacey as Nixon. Both are absolutely terrific as they portray these bigger than life, but very flawed individuals. Their voices and mannerisms are so spot-on that at times you almost fool yourself into believing it’s actually Elvis and Nixon on the screen. Elvis & Nixon falters because there just isn’t enough material to sustain an entire film, but due solely to the outstanding work of Shannon and Spacey, makes this one to check out for sure. 3.5 out of 5. Adam Staten lives in Perry Township and is a movie buff. Staten graduated from University of Southern Indiana with a degree in Communication Studies. 18 LIFESTYLE Week of May 12-18, 2016 • ss-times.com The Southside Times Farmers Market: Buy local now! NUTRITION By Chef Wendell Fowler With spring peaking, the solstice on the horizon, earth begins to warm; days get longer while a murder of shiny plump crows caw over painted harvests as compost-crusted family farmers dance and sing in joyful gratitude. Like garlands of pearls, flower buds blossom and express joy by putting forth their delicate, aromatic petals. When food is respectfully picked for temple stewardship, Gaia gleefully shares her prosperity. There’s something warm and fuzzy, bordering sacred about the pulsating energy radiating from the bustling farmers markets blooming around town-a delicious feeling of community. Millennials who want the 411 about their food may be unaware that years ago, in a galaxy far, far away, colorful farmers markets were the norm. Then corporate food production bullied the family farm, the backbone of America, into obscurity. Rural people don't simply make a living off the land; their land is the backbone of their identities, cultural landscape and their source of well-being. A review by the organization GRAIN revealed small farms produce most of the world’s food and are more productive than megafarms About 100 years ago, a misguided committee with dubious intentions, decided for you, that pharma drugs, not fresh food from God’s holy celestial apothecary would guide the course of a nation’s health. Look around. It’s one of the biggest failures in the history of civilization. Like a train heading at us at 5 MPH, our temples are slowly starving to death from eating food from a corporate boardroom fertilized by profit and greed rather than the sun blessed community gardens and family farms. Ever wonder why pharma drugs with their shocking, ominous side effect warnings don’t work; I mean they don’t make people healthier-they just mask Are You Having a GARAGE SALE? has you covered! • Ads as low as $10.50 • $11 for the first 4 lines • Additional lines only $1 each (317) 300-8782 or visit ss-times.com Deadline is Tuesday by noon for print on Thursday of each week.

Providentially local family farms are making a not-too-soon strong comeback as sick, fat, unfulfilled Americans awaken from their programed stupor-conceding food as the medicine Hippocrates suggested in 400 BC. Growing food and supporting local farmers markets are karmic ways to serve Mother Earth; to stimulate local economies while obtaining the freshest, most nourishing energy-packed, health-creating produce. For the holiest of nutrition and health benefits, focus on whole, unprocessed foods, organic fruits and vegetables, grass-fed meats, local dairy, herbs, nuts, seeds, from sustainable local sources, such as the farmers market near your home.

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me." ~ Proverbs 8:13-17 One has to wonder if anyone fears God anymore? To fear God is to take notice of Him and His preferences. He hates evil. Pretty simplistic, isn't it? Evil is detestable in the eyes of the Lord God of heaven. And, yet, we don't see it the same way and, for that matter, can stand right alongside of it and not be bothered at all. The church used to teach against evil but these days it is quite comfortable with it and even cozy with those who create opportunities to participate in it. We used to preach against "demon rum" and how that it was poison to the body. We used to preach against smoking and how that it was also poison to the system. Nowadays, the church not only condones the use of these things (in moderation, of course) but condones them nevertheless and even brings them into its fellowships. Over the past 40 to 50 years I have noted that the church has forsaken the teachings of holiness in order to keep or to grow their crowds. Our music is irreverent; our dress reflects an attitude toward God that says that we no longer believe in modesty. I try to hold the line and I know there are others doing the same but it gets more difficult all the time. There is so much hate on the part of the world for the church and for its Christ and God and that makes its way into our mindset. People come to church expecting the church to accommodate their notions of right and wrong and forget that is not the function of the church at all. If you say the wrong thing, out the door they go in a huff. Our congregations shrink in size because the lure of the world is greater than the call of the Lord. How sad. God bless and go and have a great day. Paul A. Kirby is the pastor at the Church of God at 3939 S.
