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

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

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

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

Beginning April 13, Greenwood Public Li-brary will remain open during a two-month parking lot project. The front parking area of the library will be closed as crews demol-ish and repave the parking lot and repair/re-place sidewalks. The Meridian Street entrance will be closed. Patrons may enter through the Madison Street entrance and park on the Madison Street (west) side of the building. The sidewalk and front entrance will remain
open during most of the project. Alternate en-trances may be used when the front sidewalks are redone, and signs will direct patrons. Stu-dents walking from the Junior High and from Our Lady of Greenwood must walk to the Madison Street side of the building as even pedestrian traffic will not be possible from the Meridian Street side. This project is funded by a partnership with the City of Greenwood and the Redevelopment Commission.

With one day remaining before the annual fleecing by the IRS, it’s interesting to us that among the burning topics late last week was this: Hillary Rodham Clinton, who we and the rest of the free world believe will declare for the Democratic presidential race, is being de-fended by women that consider it sexist to re-fer to her by her first name. “I think it gener-ally cheapens the image of the candidate,” one wag said last week. Yeah, it’s right up there with Benghazi and personal email accounts. We’re not certain how Clinton prefers to be addressed, but we will defer to the journal-istic style of our times and use her full name on first reference, last name on subsequent mentions. This ranks right up there with de-fending our borders, shrinking government and dialing back spending. It’s interesting to us that Clinton’s team has mobilized a Ready for Hillary super-PAC effort. It’s not too sex-ist, we suppose, to ask for campaign dona-tions for a first-name-candidate. We further suppose being referred to by her first name beats the tar out of how her husband, for-mer president William Jefferson Clinton, was called Slick Willie. Still, it would be along the same lines of references to Teddy (Theodore
Roosevelt), Silent Cal (Calvin Coolidge), Ike (Dwight Eisenhower) and Ronnie (Ronald Reagan). In our view, it is not sexist and this is much ado about absolutely nothing. Still, as we await word from on high as to how we’re expected to address Clinton, we offer these suggestions: former senator, former secretary of state, Bill’s wife, high priestess, her majes-ty and/or her royal highness (even though the latter two are reserved for a monarchy, which, come to think of it…). “Part of the rap about (Clinton) has been she’s not accessible and she’s not warm or friendly. This makes her a real person,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “(Hillary) has become part of the vernacular.”
…thoughts about the second anniversary of my heart attack and
bypass surgery
By Torry Stiles
(Dear readers: On April 10, 2013, I suffered a heart attack that led to a triple bypass and a few weeks at St. Francis Hospital. All-in-all it was an experience I'd rather not repeat. )
10. April 10, 2013 was also the last time I smoked. People ask me how I quit so easily. ... Gee, I don't know, maybe it was knowing how close those cigarettes came to killing me. That's pretty good inspiration.
9. Most folks worry about the medical issues. I'm still bugged by knowing a lot of people saw me naked and none of them asked to see me again.
8. All things being equal I think I most appreciated the free WiFi and cable TV movies.
7. I now have a horrible fear of having anything pressing on my chest. This keeps me from working under my truck and has really ticked off my cat that had to change her sleep program.
6. The doctor says I have to watch my cholesterol. I really miss juicy hamburgers but my pet pig is happy to no longer smell bacon cooking.
5. I miss bacon. People tell me to eat turkey bacon. I've said it before - turkey bacon is neither turkey nor bacon.
4. Whoever claims yogurt is as good as sour cream probably thinks light beer is as good as real beer.
3. The biggest disappointment with being a member of the "Zipper Club" is that it's difficult to make up a good story about where the scar came from.
2. Sorry. Still not gonna be a track star. I can't run and look silly in shorts.
1. I have come to appreciate things a lot more. Like my wife, family and salt-free condiments.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.…
After our seventh year of hosting the NCAA men’s Final Four, our state capitol has proven to the nation once again—Indy does basketball best.
Visit Indy’s Communications Manager Morgan Greenlee had some interesting stats to share regarding this year’s events com-pared to the 2010 tournament.
“This year we had an estimated 70,000 at-tendees with an estimated economic impact of $70.8 million,” Greenlee said. While offi-cial numbers are still being calculated by the NCAA, these figures are way above what we saw in 2010 (60,000 attendees and $50 mil-lion).
“We even broke a record for Saturday night’s semi-finals—there were 72,238 fans filling Lu-cas Oil Stadium that evening,” Greenlee said. “There was also an increase in ancillary events this year—the Fan Fest and musical guests—so that definitely helped.”
We’re excited to host the women’s Final Four in 2016 and can’t wait to see what we put together for 2021. It just goes to show you; despite the rest of the nation’s best efforts to paint Indiana in a negative light, we shine bright and proud through it all, undeterred.
“The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until
it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.”
~ Jane Addams

HAUNTS & JAUNTSBy Rick Hinton
One usually equates Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, sightings to remote mountainous regions in the West – not to the Hoosier state. After all, this is Indiana; it is not immediately thought of as a hotbed of cryptid encounters… or is it?
Believe it or not, Indiana has had its fair share of Bigfoot sightings throughout the years, continuing into present time. It would seem these critters know no boundaries, re-sulting in many scratching their heads and in-tellect over a puzzling mystery of not only folk tales from the past, but continued sightings in the present that defy any type of rational ex-planation. Bigfoot fits into the designated term “paranormal” as it should: something that is beyond the scope and comprehension of nor-mal day-to-day life. Is “paranormal” a term of necessity? Most likely. Who really knows what we are being confronted with here?
Nocturnal in nature, Bigfoot has been de-scribed as a large and lumbering ape-like be-ing covered in dark brown or reddish hair. It has facial features resembling that of a gorilla and most often is accompanied by a foul odor. It produces the occasional primate-like wail and the sound of banging on a tree, yet in a rhythmic cadence. In its wake, it leaves behind rather large footprints and sometimes claw marks on trees. In the western regions of the United States, this could easily be written off to the antics of bears. In Indiana, not so much!
Those who spend time in the outdoors — hikers, campers, hunters, fishermen and per-sonnel of the DNR — seem to be the ones to have frequent run-ins with these mythical creatures. Scientists, not willing to take such claims at face value, discount the existence of Bigfoot, citing these stories to be a combina-tion of folklore, misidentification, and hoax.
Morgan Monroe State Forest, just south of Martinsville, appears to be the place to go for your own personal Bigfoot encounter (along with ghostly shenanigans in Stepp Ceme-tery). This is one big mysterious forest hous-ing secrets! In 2012 the second season of the cable network Animal Planet show "Finding Bigfoot" sent its team to Morgan Monroe to wrestle with this enigma.
Is there really more to all of this than just folklore? Many believe that there is. Specula-tion is authorities may cover up the sightings and resulting evidence because of the affect it would have on the general population and the tourism business. I have heard similar ratio-nale on UFO sightings.
For more information check into the “Indi-ana Bigfoot” page on Facebook.

Southside Vintage Marketplace returns for its second year of shopping, music and food, providing a “one-of-a-kind” experience
On the Cover: John Mullinax sits with one of his booths at Southport Antique Mall. Photo by Nicole Davis
Southsiders could spend all day shopping each second Saturday of the month and
potentially never see the same thing twice as Southside Vin-tage Marketplace returns to the Southport Antique Mall.
The event kicks-off on April 11 and happens every second Saturday of the month thereafter through October. In its sec-ond season, the marketplace offers antique, collectable, refinished and refurbished out-door shopping, music, food and - more shop-ping indoors.
“There are no shows that I know of that you can shop outside, enjoy food and music and then go inside and visit over 200 booths in the Southport Antique Mall,” said John Mullinax.
Mullinax, a Perry Township resident, has dealt antique, collectible and vintage items for more than 15 years. He recently began working part-time with Southport Antique Mall. Having traveled to northern Indiana and many different states, he said he saw a need for a type of “open-air” antique shopping ex-perience on the South-side of Indianapolis. He started the Southside Vintage Marketplace in 2014 with business part-ner, Melinda Hess.
“The Southside has a lot to offer,” Mullinax said. “My vision was to not so much to be big, but offer a service to the Southside of Indianapo-lis, to put on a show that would be one-of-a-kind.”
Mullinax said the best part of starting this show last year was seeing the satisfied custom-ers, vendors and working with the people at Southport Antique Mall.
“It exceeded my expectations – no nega-tives at all,” Mullinax said. “It was an awesome
2014 for the first year.”Last year the show gave back to nonprofits
such as Art with a Heart. This year, each show will benefit a different charity through activi-ties such as raffles, a school supply drive, art projects and more. The first show on April 11, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., will benefit the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America.
There is no cost of admission to the family-oriented event. Each show will feature more than 30 vendors, offering vintage, local, hand-crafted, repurposed and artisan-made items.
“I love doing these shows,” Mul-linax said. “What makes my job fun is interacting with people. That’s probably what I do best part of what I do – talking to people, meet-ing with people and dealing with antiques.”
They select vendors carefully, asking that their items meet specif-ic criteria: items must be antique, collectable, handmade, refurbished
or refinished. As word of mouth has spread, they have some new vendors this year, coming from as far as Seymore, Ind. They will also be taking the show on the road, hosting an event on May 2 in Bloomington.
“Every show is a sur-prise,” Mullinax said. “Every show is different. You never know what you will find.”

Working for a smaller police department, Nate Williams said gives reserve officers like himself more first-hand experience and expo-sure to various situations. Having served as a reserve police officer on the Southport Po-lice Department for three years, he said he’s learned a lot by working with the ‘city within a city.’
“I love the job,” Williams said. “It’s 98 per-cent mundane kind of things and two percent where the adrenaline is going. I like that. I like being ready for that.”
Williams, a Greenwood High School grad-uate, currently resides in Perry Township. When he’s not with the SPD, he works as a contractor.
What was your inspiration to become a police officer?
I really just fell into it. I always knew I could never work a desk job or where you’re doing the same thing over and over. I started in loss prevention, met a lot of officers and decided that’s the way I wanted to go.
What has been one of your most gratifying on the job?
Any time there is a positive outcome in-volving kids. A lot of the time where we’re in-volved, it’s a negative situation for someone. If there’s a child that gets the help they need, kids always seem very grateful.
What aspect of the job do you find most challenging?
The constant pressure, with everything that’s happened recently, it seems everyone has a negative impression of the police. All of the training in the world doesn’t make me any less afraid to not go home at night.
What do you enjoy doing in your off-time? I love being in the woods; hunting, fishing,
shooting, sports, camping, hiking. If I can’t do any of that, I play video games and read a lot.
What are your future goals, professionally or personally?
I’m hoping to make sergeant. I was promot-ed to corporal about six months ago. I hope to keep advancing my career.
What would you have done if you hadn't of became a police officer?
I probably would have opened my own fire-arms training company or gun shop. If I wasn’t doing this, I think I’d have to be my own boss.

Indiana Republican State Committee members elected Jeff Cardwell to serve as state party chairman. Gov. Mike Pence recommended Cardwell to fill the leadership post left by former Chairman Tim Berry who resigned earlier this month. In 2013, Cardwell was appointed as a senior advisor and special assistant to the governor.

Greenwood Common Council
Meeting, April 6
n What happened? Ordinance No. 15-17, which would “amend the official zoning map adopted by reference in zoning ordinance No. 82-1” (regarding land at the southeast corner of S.R. 135 and Stones Crossing Road) was amended and passed, 8-0.n What it means: Several parcels of land near the aforementioned corridor were to be re-zoned to allow for new economic develop-ment. A concern brought to the attention of the council by Council Member Brent Corey, was that the rezoning would permit poten-tially unattractive developments—particular-ly self-storage facilities. “I’m adamant that we need better design standards in Greenwood,” Corey said. “I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes that were made in the past.”n What’s next: The new language of the amended ordinance will be made available and the 34.4-acre area will be rezoned.
n In brief…• Greenwood is currently accepting booth ap-plications for the Greenwood Freedom Festival that will take place June 27, 2015. For more in-formation, visit greenwood.in.gov.

By Nicole DavisThere is something for everyone at Calva-
ry Christian School’s inaugural Spring Festi-val & BBQ Competition on April 11, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.: profession-al BBQ competitions, a backyard BBQ competition, dessert compe-tition, car show, vendor and artisan booths, festival games, a kids’ area, silent auction, live entertainment and more.
“It’s a fun day,” said Brett Healey. “It’s family-friendly and alcohol- free. It’s a safe place to bring your kids to enjoy a nice family day with things that cater to ev-erybody. Guys will love the car show. Women will love the shopping. Kids will love the bounce house and festival area. It really caters to all age groups.”
Healey became the CCS Parent-Teacher Council President in August. He has a back-ground in executive management, specifi-cally in the services and product industry. His son will be enrolled in the kindergarten at CCS for the next school year. He says when he came on as PTC president, he could envision this huge festival on the school’s property. A
25-person volunteer leadership team was cre-ated to handle the various aspects of the fes-tival.
The April 11 festival sponsored by All Star Roofing will take place rain or shine. It will
be on the school parking lot if the weather is nice and inside the school if the weather conditions are bad. Food trucks such as City BBQ and Johnson’s BBQ Shack will be on site. If the weather is nice, the event will take two-thirds of the school’s parking lot. Addition-al parking will be offered from the northeast lot at the University of Indianapolis, Dollar General park-ing lot at Hanna and Keystone Av-enues and the Indiana Bible Col-
lege parking lot with a shuttle taking festival-goers to and from the event from 8 a.m. – 7 p.m. Valet parking will also be offered at the school for $5.
The BBQ competi-tion is sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Soci-ety, which Healey says is the premier sanctioning body for BBQ competi-tions in the U.S. Gover-
nor Mike Pence proclaimed the competition as an Indiana State Championship, which Healey said gives them more “clout in the KCBS world.” It allows teams being judged to score and participate in different invitational throughout the year with large cash prizes.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Cal-vary Christian School, which serves 230 stu-dents. Healey said they want to spend the money on signage for the property, which
currently doesn’t have any permanent signs. Then, they would like smart boards and other technology in the classrooms.
“This school is 4-star,” Healey said. “We’ve always been ranking in ISTEP. Academically our scores are very high. I’m looking forward to the community coming to the property and seeing what the school is all about.”

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

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

NIGHT & DAY
Adam Staten lives in Perry Town-ship and is a movie buff. Staten graduated from University of Southern Indiana with a degree in Communication Studies.
While We’re Young… well-written, intelligent and insightful
By Adam StatenPeople are creatures of habit. Like most, you
probably have a morning routine in order to get ready for the day. Routines are familiar, safe, and in an odd way, comfort-ing. However, the slight-est deviation from a dai-ly routine can cause your entire day to spiral out of control. Change is always a scary thing and most fear change because it’s new, unexpected, and different than anything that has been experienced. The new film, While We’re Young, starring Ben Stiller, looks at this idea of change and how lives can be completely altered from one unexpected encounter.
While We’re Young stars Ben Stiller and Nao-mi Watts as a middle-aged couple who are stuck in a rut of sorts. They never go on vaca-tion, the only time they go out is to eat with their one pair of friends, and Stiller’s character has been working on the same documentary for 10 years. To top it off, they no longer fit in with couples their own age and they are too old to relate to couples much younger than them. Soon enough, along comes a seemingly inno-cent couple that completely turns Stiller’s and Watts character’s lives upside down.
Without a doubt, the shinning star of the film is the writing. While We’re Young is an in-telligent, fresh and insightful take on change, finding oneself, and society’s obsession with
technology. The film deserves much credit for never hitting the viewer over the head with any one topic. Instead, the film is written in a way that does not insult the intelligence of the au-dience, but rather allows the viewer to put to-gether the meaning of the film with a subtlety
that is appreciated. All four of the main characters are so well developed that you feel as if you know these charac-ters or know someone very similar to the people on screen.
As far as the perfor-mances are concerned, there is not a weak one given from anyone in the cast. Stiller, the main character, is very, very good as a documenta-
ry filmmaker who has never reached his potential. However, Watts steals the show as Stiller’s equally lost and completely and totally relatable film producer wife.
While We’re Young is a terrific little film about what happens when we’re forced to deal with change and the repercussions of those de-cisions. It’s superbly written and directed. It’s easily one of the best films of 2015 so far. 4 out of 5.

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

GRAMMAR GUY
Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for The Southside Times. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at [email protected].
By Jordan FischerLast month the Associated Press released
the list of changes and new entries for the 2015 edition of its stylebook.
As the default style guide newspaper, mag-azine and TV writers adhere to the in U.S., there's a high probability you'll be seeing some of these changes soon.
Here are some of the more noteworthy updates:
1. BLT is now acceptable on first reference for a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Which senior editor at the Associated Press has been sticking to his guns on this until 2015 – and how long does it take him to or-der lunch?
2. The stylebook finally has an entry for "meme." YTMND launched in 2001, guys. With this and the BLT thing … you're not ex-actly on the bleeding edge of the culture, AP.
3. You'll be seeing "animal welfare activist" instead of "animal rights activist" from now on.
4. Kathmandu will now be spelled Kath-mandu instead of, you know, however else we were spelling it.
5. This one I really like: There is now an en-try chiding sportswriters for all the terrible clichés they use. I'm just going to excerpt it in its entirety:
"A team losing a game is not a 'disaster.' Home runs are homers, not 'dingers,' 'jacks' or 'bombs.' A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 'unanswered' points. If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn't come back, say it 'never trailed' rather than 'never looked back.' In short, avoid hack-neyed words and phrases, redundancies and exaggerations."
6. That being said, they've added "parking the bus" as an acceptable description of a team packing its defense to protect a lead.
7. On a more serious note, the stylebook now advises against using the phrase "execu-tion-style" to describe killings.
8. "Favorite" is now a verb – as in clicking that star button on Twitter and then never looking at the tweet again.
9. "Craft brewery" is now the preferred term instead of "microbrewery."
10. Last one: Ulan Bator is out. Ulaanbaatar is in. Should make your upcoming trip to Mongolia a lot smoother.
Those are the big ones. Nothing so contro-versial this year as in 2014, when they decided "more than" and "over" could be used inter-changeably. I'm still waiting on a response to my angry letter on that one…
NUTRITION
Garbage in, garbage out
By Chef Wendell FowlerIn our busy, complicated world, it’s tough
knowing where to begin when embarking on a journey towards optimum health. To live a healthy, happy life, we need to keep it simple and take small steps every day to promote health and help support our temple from the inside out. Then give a hardy self-pat on the back for a job well done.
A sweet lady recently told me her doctor in-structed her to increase her calorie intake by drinking a red can of full-sugar coke. I almost had a stroke – broke my heart. That’s grounds for malpractice considering the rock solid facts that Coke’s ingredients are cancerous, feed diabetes, bone loss and blunts the im-mune system. Way to go Doc. This is a part of why Indiana consistently ranks 41st unhealth-iest in America. Garbage in, garbage out.
Let’s begin with calories:Calories are the energy in food. The more
active you are, the more you need. When you’re less active, you need fewer. But, no one mentions the quality of said calories. All calo-ries are not created equal. A 100-calorie can-dy bar pales to 100 highly-nourishing calories
from a portion of avocado or sweet potato. According to ChooseMyPlate.gov, empty-cal-orie foods contribute a lot of calories to your daily intake without adding many beneficial nutrients.
Listen to your body:Young children are good at listening to their
little bodies. They eat when they're hungry and stop when full – my dogs, too. But adults may ignore these ‘signals’ and keep eating af-ter they’re, burp, full, or they may eat because they're bored or upset. Your temple uses these signals to tell you when and how much to eat.
Slow down:Your brain doesn't immediately register that
your stomach is full, you may be at risk of eat-ing more than your body needs and getting too full if you are prone to eating quickly or on-the-go. You can reduce your calorie intake if you focus on slowing down and enjoying every bite of food during meal. (Livestrong.com)

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

CHESTER'S CORNERBy James D. Allen
This was the worst spring break ever! It lasted two weeks. Most of my friends went out of town. I had no one to play with. Besides, Jim is still in shock from all those bills from the Australia trip. So we couldn’t go anywhere.
It was also Holy Week so Jim made me go to church on Thursday and Friday nights. How much can a 10-year-old take?
Jim’s wife is not only re-tired, but she finally sold her condo. So now she is “home-less and unemployed.” That means she has extra time to find chores for me to do. One of the chores is clean-ing up after Clifford who relieves himself in the back yard. For some reason I’m on scooper detail. Yuck!
Recently it rained so much that worms emerged from the soil just to breathe. That made the yard even yuck-ier. It may be a “dog’s life” but we dummies have to pay for it.
Soon Jim will get ambitious and clean out the garage. He does it each spring. All it en-tails is moving everything out, dusting, vac-
uuming, and wiping down surfaces. A blower is used to expel last fall’s leaves that got tracked in. Then everything gets put back except for the junk Jim finally decides to ditch. The whole process stirs up dust and makes me sneeze but in two to three hours, the job is done. Sometimes peo-ple stop by because they think we're having a yard sale. One person even tried to buy me!
I wouldn’t mind doing it ex-cept Jim expects me to work for free. Yet he’ll pay neighbor kids $10 or $20 to help. May-be I should move out to the neighbors and then I’d qualify
for payment.Soon the grass will
need to be mowed. A church volunteer, Mr. H, mows the yard as a service. That is one chore I get to skip. But there plenty of sticks to pick up and grass seed to sow. Going back to
school looks better than ever!
Spring break:A break from what?

Chester is a ventriloquist dummy who visits Edgewood United Methodist Church in Perry Township on special Sunday services. Pastor Jim Allen and Chester enjoy joking back and forth to drive home a serious message at church.
Chester, the ventriloquist dummy and Pastor Jim Allen.
Following an extended period of prayer and discernment, the Sisters of St. Benedict have elected Sr. Jennifer Mechtild Horner as the 8th prioress of Our Lady of Grace Monastery. Sr. Jenni-fer Mechtild is the daughter of the late Rev. Francis Horner and Mary Horner who lives in Washington. A native of South Africa, she is the second of three children. Sr. Jen-nifer Mechtild has most recently served as the Vocation Director for the monastic community. She holds a Bach-
elor’s degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s in Theology. Sr. Jennifer Mechtild en-
tered the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood, Idaho, in 1989 and transferred to Our Lady of Grace in 2004. Her 6-year term of office will begin with her installation in June. The Chapter of Election was presided over by Sr. Joella Kidwell, President of the Federation of St. Gertrude. Sr. Jennifer Mechtild suc-ceeds Sr. Juliann Babcock who has
served the community as prioress since 2009.

That’s why Hopebridge Pediatric Specialists offers autism diagnostic services and ABA therapy to enhance language and communication skills; play and social interaction; academics and independent living.
If you are concerned that your child may be missing developmental milestones, visit www.hopebridge.com, or call us with all your questions.
