Celebration of a century

By Nicole DavisCards have poured in for Lorraine Morford

as she nears her 100th birthday on May 16– more than 70 Happy Birthday cards arriving two weeks before the celebration.

“Last year I told (my family) don’t buy me presents; I want a big party next year,” Lor-raine says. “So they’re giving that to me. I’m looking forward to it.”

Lorraine was born May 16, 1914 in Peters-burg, Ind. to Charles William Fair and Mary Jane Hundley Fair. She came to Indianapolis at 16, in the middle of the Great Depression. She married Robert Morford on Oct. 7, 1939. In 1946, they had their son, Wil-liam George Morford who resides in India-napolis. She and Rob-ert were charter mem-bers of Noble Centers, a school for children with developmental disabilities, now called Noble of Indiana. Lor-raine worked at ARC of Indiana for seven years before retiring in 1980.

“I’ve always worked. I worked in a home taking care of chil-dren when I was in grade school,” Lor-raine said. “I’ve always had my finger in the pie. I don’t remem-ber one year that I didn’t have a job. Af-ter WWII I was a stay at home mom, but we had bought this fix-it-up house so there was always something to do with that.”

Lorraine said she and Robert enjoyed traveling, especially out west. Her fa-vorite trip was a cruise to Australia. When Robert became ill, they moved to Beech Grove Meadows. He passed away in 2010. Lor-raine said she enjoys visiting with her son on the week-ends, reading, doing puzzles and some activities at Beech Grove Meadows. Living in-

dependently, she recently had her license re-newed but says she only goes out to the gro-cery store and to get her hair done.

“If you’re in the area, don’t worry,” she jokes. “I won’t be on the street.”

Getting excited for her 100th birthday cele-bration with her family and some friends, Lor-raine said she doesn’t believe there is any sort of secret to living to be so healthy at her age – other than possibly staying active as she didn’t simply sit around after retirement.

“I’ve always believed, you are put here to touch someone’s life,” Lorraine said. “You will be here until you do that. I don’t know who I’m supposed to touch, but that’s my belief. I’m here for a reason.”

National Pet Month

May is National Pet Month. This event started about 20 years ago in the

United Kingdom. There are five goals of the observance.

Promote responsible pet ownership. Some people think that hav-ing a pet is just a quick thing to be done and then half forgotten. This is far from reality. Dogs and cats are liv-ing and loving beings. A good owner should be aware that get-ting a pet will require a lifetime (10-20 years) of care and love as well as the re-lated expenses. Most pets are happy and healthy but some of them will develop health issues along the line that will re-quire treatment and effort by you, the caregiver. You need to remember that having a pet will require the giving of time and expenses over his or her life-time.

Make people aware of the benefits of pets for people and people for pets. This is a two-way street. Pets give to people. Studies have shown that as a general rule, people who own pets are generally happier and healthier and live longer. It gives you the sense of pride and happi-ness in caring for them. People give to pets. There are so many animals who

need a home, either from the street or a shelter. A loving and caring home is so much more meaningful than a life of struggle or confinement.

Increase public awareness of servic-es available from pro-fessionals who work with animals. Every-one knows about the local vet. He or she is your first line of care for all preventative care and routine medical needs. But veterinary surgeons, behavior-ists, oncologists, oph-thalmologists, derma-

tologists and many more professionals are available. There are very few health needs that cannot be met. Also, there are many other pet professionals in the area. Groomers offer many services and are willing to tailor personalized care. Dog training schools offer a multitude of classes from kindergarten, obedience, agility and swimming (sock diving).

Raise awareness of the role, value and contribution to society of working com-panion animals. Dogs and even minia-ture horses or monkeys can be trained to help those with blindness, mobility issues and mental handicaps. There are several national organizations that train and facilitate these services.

By Nicole DavisBev Benson only got to attend Whiteland

Barn, a dance hall for youth, a couple of times before it shut down. She was around the age of 13, so her parents said that she was too young to go. She would hear friends and schoolmates talk-ing about the music, dancing and all the fun they had. Intrigued, she snuck out with a friend to experi-ence it herself.

“There was anticipation of know-ing Sunday night was barn night,” said Ron VanLandingham, who at-tended when the barn first opened. “You created your own fun back then. You didn’t wait for somebody to create it for you. You knew we would go dancing. You knew there would be fun there.”

Don Hohlt opened the Whiteland Barn opened in 1958. His dream was to bring to-gether teenagers and musicians from all over into the barn in the small-town of Whiteland. Big name acts came from all around, such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, The Kingsmen, Neil Sedaka, Dionne Warwick, The Drifters, the Beach Boys, John Cougar and more. The barn eventually shut down. It has since burnt down but more than 40 years later those who had fond memories of the music and dancing started the Whiteland Barn Reunion, which will celebrate its 5th reunion on May 17, 6-10 p.m. at The Knights of Columbus, 695 Push-ville Rd., Greenwood.

Hohlt passed away March 29, and organiz-ers are aiming to keep his memory and his dream alive through the reunion and tributes such as the sign from the old barn that will have a wreath hung on it in his honor.

“It was a good place to go,” VanLandingham said. “There was never any trouble there. Don just ran a clean dance place for kids. I’m really hoping this (reunion) will include a whole lot about Don Hohlt because he is the Whiteland Barn. Don Hohlt was the best at everything he did – a sharp pool player, ping pong player. He had a pool hall by Arvin’s in Greenwood... He was the greatest guy you’d ever want to meet.”

The first night the barn opened there were 72 boys and three girls. Sue Murdock, cur-rent Perry Township resident, was one of those girls. Her father was the Whiteland Town Marshall and deputy sheriff for John-son County who would work there every Sun-day. Her mother would run the concession stand. She said it was just fun to go and dance, costing only 75 cents to get in when it first

opened. She says because her dad was there, her friends got to attend, too, and they cre-ated many great memories through the years.

“I was there about every Sunday night, meeting the different people at the different schools, making friends with them,” Murdock said. “Everyone had so much fun... There was

very little trouble there. They didn’t allow drinking. It was different. Kids just don’t know how much fun you could have had in the 60s. They need more fun stuff and things they can afford.”

Keetie and the Kats was one of the regular bands that would play. Keith Phillips of that band will at-tend the upcoming reunion. Van-Landingham said everyone danced and many in Johnson County used

Whiteland Barn as a meeting place.

“It was just amazing,” Benson said. “The place was packed full of kids. The music was great. I still have this thing about live music... It was an experience that everybody just loved. I think everybody (that went) is like me now – they’d rather have live music because we grew up with it. In White-land we had the barn, a live band at sock hops. There was always music everywhere.”

VanLandingham said Hohlt told him he had to shut the barn down because people just weren’t dancing anymore. The boys were leaving to go overseas during the war and the growing popularity of The Beatles transitioned into more people wanting to attend con-certs rather than dance.

VanLandingham decided to create the Whiteland Barn website with pictures and in-formation people would send him. Mentioning that it would be great to keep the memory alive, he said the reunion “took a life of its own.” Not able to or-ganize it himself because he currently resides in North Carolina, he said the women who have put the reunion together have done a great job.

“Last year was wonderful,” said Benson, who is organizing this year’s reunion. “I’m (looking forward to) getting to meet new peo-ple and see the people I met last time and their

Almost every day I hear horror stories of people calling 911 or someone trying to get information from the police, whether it be Beech Grove or IMPD. People reported be-ing put on hold or no one answers the phone. I also have had the same experiences as well when I have called for assistance. Earlier this week, with the incident concerning the Middle School, I just wanted to express my thoughts on why closing our dispatch center was such a bad idea.

In 2010, Mayor Wright approached the Common Council with a recommendation to close our dispatch center and merge with MECA. The Common Council agreed with his recommendation by a vote of 4-3. Many peo-ple in our community disagreed with this leg-islation as they felt it would be very detrimen-tal for the wellbeing of our citizens.

When you have an emergency and you need help, you expect someone to answer the phone. You do not expect delays or get dis-connected. I lay no blame on the folks who

work downtown and answer the phones be-cause they are doing the best that they can. The Common Council was forced to make a terribly difficult decision because the city couldn’t control its spending. Our dispatch center was more than just a center for emer-gency services. Our dispatch center was a fo-cal point for citizens to call in for other non-emergency services. Now, that is all gone and there is nothing that any of us can do about it. We have become a small fish in a big pond and it’s frustrating.

As we move on, please call 911 if you have an emergency and stay on the line (don’t hang up). Should you have a non-emergency need please call 327-3811, calling 782-4949 only causes further delays as you are transferred to the 327-3811 line. If you live in Beech Grove make sure that is made crystal clear to the dis-patcher on the other end of the line. Should you have a police need, please demand to speak with a police officer.

Greg Simons is a giver. I knew that after the first time I met him several years ago. And he’d like for you to

be a giver, too – of your time, that is.Simons would like to get more

folks involved with Kids Against Hunger by participating in third annual Kids Against Hunger Pack-ing, 5230 Park Emerson Ave, Suite A, event sponsored by his company, Simons Bitzer & Associates. Folks can meet Saturday, May 17, from 9 – 11:30 a.m. and then from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“It’s something I re-ally believe in,” Simons said.

He said it’s the sys-tems in place em-ployed by KAH that make it fun an easy to get involved to help the malnourished. He said the process makes it very easy to help not only locally but also globally so it’s a no-brain-er for him to get involved

“It’s just fun for the family,” he said. “With a minimal amount of time you can make a re-ally big impact.”

Half of what is packed will to go to local food pantries and the other half to go to spe-cific places around the world. According to information released by Simons & Bitzer, in the past, by spending a little over a half day, 24,000 meals were packed. The goal this year is to exceed that number. There are three ways to contribute:

1. Make a cash donation – It costs $.25 for each meal packed. Your donation would help

raise the funds to reach the goals for number of meals packed. Si-mons Bitzer will contribute a sig-nificant portion of the costs. Be-tween your contributions and what Simons Bitzer contributes, $7,000 is the magic number. Therefore, between now and May 17, if you would like to contribute, make your check payable to Kids Against Hun-ger and send it tin C/O of Simons Bitzer & Associates, 8350 S. Emer-

son Ave., Suite 100, In-dianapolis, IN 46237.

2. If you prefer to donate via debit/credit card you may do so at: kah-greenwood.org/how-to-help/join-a-

packing-event.3. Finally, the goal is to pack 28,000 meals.

Children are also welcome to attend to help as long as they are with a parent. You may sign up for a shift, which is from 9-11:30 a.m., or 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. Go to kah-greenwood.org/how-to-help/join-a-packing-event to register. The site will ask for a minimum of $15 to par-ticipate, but that is not necessary.

their life on the line with no superpowers, no X-Ray

vision, no super-strength, no ability to fly, and above all

no invulnerability to bullets, reveals far greater virtue

"I am very grateful for the police men and women that serve and protect in our community. Each and every day they put their lives on the line to respond to emergencies and calls for help. Most days they see, first hand, society's worse prob-lems. Yet, despite the problems, these dedicated people get up and go to work the next morning to do it again because they get tremendous satisfaction out of helping others."

Dawn Selke, works in Franklin Township

Q: National Police Week is May 12-16, 2014. Why are you grateful for the police our community?

When has a police officer helped you?

face to face

"We have a lot of customers who are officers here (at Lin-coln Square Pancake House). They are here every day and they are amazing people. If we need anything from them, they are only five minutes away. They will be here no matter what they are doing. They have been really great to us."

Maggie Hinojosa, works in Perry Township

"I'm very grateful for the police offices and what they do. I have two who train here (at Life Systems Mar-tial Arts of Green-wood). In fact I have a brother-in-law who is retired from the po-lice department. I am very thankful for what they do protecting the community and other services."

Mark Kreuzman, works in Greenwood

"I'm very grateful for the police officers in Beech Grove. They have not only been very solicitous of not only our institution, The Benedict Inn Re-treat and Conference Center, but of the sisters of St. Benedict. When they are called, they come. We have had a very good response which makes a very big difference. Through the years we have had difficulties on our property and even entrance into our building. They always take a real interest in trying to re-solve the situation. The other part is they do wonderful education and help us better understand what we can do ourselves."

Sister Carol Falkner of Beech Grove

AROUND TOWN Miller joins Kids Against Hunger

Charles F. Miller has joined Kids Against Hun-ger-Greenwood as its director – logistics and supply chain. Miller will be responsible for all aspects of procuring materials to create com-pleted meals and distributing those meals both locally and internationally. He joins Kids Against Hunger with over 30 years of experi-ence in IT, fee-only wealth management, and sales. Miller has travelled extensively interna-tionally especially in Third World countries. The mission of Kids Against Hunger, a human-itarian food-aid organization, is to reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and to feed starving children throughout the world. Kids Against Hunger-Greenwood concen-trates on packaging a highly nutritious, vita-min-fortified soy-rice casserole by volunteers at numerous locations in Indiana and beyond. Most of the meals produced locally are dis-tributed in Central America and locally in the Indianapolis area. “In 2014 we are on track to produce and ship around 2,000,000 from our location in Indianapolis”, Miller said. Stated Larry Moore, executive director of KAH-G, in a prepared statement: “We are excited to wel-come Charles to our team.

HAUNTS & JAUNTS

Greenwood's Westside Park: Folklore in the making

While tooling your vehicle west, past the original section of the Greenwood Cemetery on Main

Street, you might just want to make a right turn at the bottom of the hill into Westside Park. It’s one of Greenwood’s hidden treasures.

Westside Park, located at the in-tersection of West Main Street and Howard Road, is one of Green-wood’s most popular city parks, holding an interesting history with a paranormal slant!

The city of Greenwood purchased the 24 plus acre former gravel pit and infamous flood-plain from the Scott family farm estate in 1963 for the sum of $14,706. Just prior in 1957 the Greenwood San-itation Plant (and dumping grounds) took up residence just adjacent to the soon-to-be future park. Today, a loop walking trail winds around the sanitation’s fenced property.

Many years past, in the dog days of a swel-tering Indiana summer, a boy could truly em-brace his independence and meander into the semi-wilderness of the western stretches of Greenwood and stake his claim in the valley that weaves beneath the Greenwood Cem-etery. This valley, eventually evolving into Westside Park in the early 1960s, became (at least for the space of a day) his own private refuge where he would become a king over his

domain. In particular, Devil’s Backbone held an adventurous appeal and certain notoriety to all aspiring kings.

Devil’s Backbone was a large hill of fill dirt (remember, this was a gravel pit) which curled serpentine along the valley floor beside Pleas-

ant Run Creek. This mini mountain became known as a ‘boy’s club’—no girls allowed—and many a day was spent on monumental forays to the summit, playing war with imaginary opponents or simply skinny-dip-ping in the adjacent creek. At times the boys, tired and reflective over their imagined victories, might have lounged on this summit fueling their imaginations over the accumulating gravestones just above their fortress. Imagination has a way of leading

into the realm of folklore, and this folklore has a tendency to carry on and grow throughout the years. A nearby cemetery…with things that linger in the dark of a child’s mind; it carries sig-nificant weight.

Many of these children who braved this val-ley and all that Devil’s Backbone represented in the day are now adults, with some still re-siding in the Greenwood area. The childhood of our past never completely fades away from the mind regardless of the age. Neither do the stories. Next: Westside Park…then and now.

By Eric EllisWhen I first heard the term “staycation” I

wasn’t sure what to think. Then a friend ex-plained it: “It’s somewhere you can go for just a day and come back to sleep in your own bed at night—like a trip to Cincinnati or Chicago or something.” For those of you on a budget like mine, this kind of trip is an affordable al-ternative when you are in need of some time off.

Whether it’s something simple in down-town Indy like day-tripping to the zoo or one of our great museums, or something a little further—here’s my list of some of the best staycation possibilities surrounding Indianap-olis.

Kings IslandIf adventure and thrills are more your

speed, Kings Island amusement park is ap-proximately a two-hour drive from Indianap-olis. Kings Island boasts that it is the “largest amusement park and water park in the Mid-west” and with affordable payment plans for families this summer season, this one’s a no-brainer! Not only are there rides and attrac-tions for thrill-seekers, but Kings Island is also home to live entertainment and other special events.

National ParksOur great Hoosier state is home to three

national parks spanning from the northern-most parts of the state to the tippy-toe of In-dy’s “boot.” George Rogers Clark in Vincinnes, Indiana Dunes in Porter and Lincoln Boyhood in Lincoln City are three great historic sites that have much to offer—whether you’re into hiking, history, or a scenic combination of the two, you’re sure to find a day of enjoyment.

ChicagoEvery so often I hear the call of the Windy

City—and at a three-hour drive (or five hour train ride), Chicago’s a much closer neighbor than we think. Home to several attractions such as: Navy Pier, Shedd Aquarium, Wrig-ley Field and many more, there’s something for everyone in Chi-town. Millennium Park (perhaps most famous for the Cloud Gate or “The Bean” sculpture) is home to music festi-vals, cultural events, and much more. If you’ve never been to Chicago or haven’t been in quite some time; check it out!

These are just a few options—Indy is home to many more staycation destinations. We’d like to hear some of your favorites! Send your letters to the editor to news@ss-times.com.

Staycation this summerFor SST by Greg Seiter

Planning a trip can be frustrating and time consuming, especially for those attempting to do so on their own. Sure, the Internet has opened the door for novice vacation planners to almost instantly access a seemingly end-less list of travel-related companies and pag-es where information can be found and plans solidified however, that benefit can also be a hindrance.

With so many choices, how do you know where to begin and even more importantly, how do you know who you can trust?

Today, more so than ever before, it’s imper-ative that potential trip takers utilize the skills and services offered by experienced travel agents, like those found in AAA Hoosier Mo-tor Club branch offices and through the club’s Web site www.AAA.com.

AAA Travel Agency, Indiana’s largest trav-el agency, boasts highly-trained agents who are experts at understanding and deciphering the myriad of travel-related information and codes used in today’s industry. With over 110 years of travel experience, AAA is a household name that people are familiar with and trust.

AAA travel agents provide professional advice and personalized service. They’re ac-cessible via the Internet, by telephone and in person at your nearest Hoosier Motor Club service center.

Strong preferred vendor partnerships and the latest in computer-based reservations technology provide these individuals with ac-cess to current travel information and out-standing deals that are sometimes hard to find. In fact, the bottom line is that AAA travel agents, who work for their clients rather than for a travel supplier, are there to save vacation-ers as much time and money as possible.

Speaking of saving money, it’s important to note that AAA Travel Agents DO NOT charge a vacation planning fee to anyone they assist;

that includes non-AAA members. Of course, members do enjoy exclusive savings opportu-nities and value-added amenities with major cruise and tour companies. For example, AAA members save $20 in service fees when they book an airline ticket at a Hoosier Motor Club office. Also, passport photos are only $10 plus tax for members compared to $20 plus tax for non-members.

And even those fees are waived if someone books a cruise or tour package.

Understandably, AAA Hoosier Motor Club sincerely enjoys helping people with their travel plans and to that extent, the club even rewards repeat customers. When you book your inclusive tour, cruise or package through AAA Travel Agency, the club rewards you with gifts for being a frequent traveler. So in other words, let us help you take frequent va-cations and in-turn, you’ll be eligible for great gifts like digital cameras, camcorders, lug-gage, gift cards and much more.

In today’s marketplace, those who elect to secure their own travel plans are really tak-ing a dangerous chance. For example, if you’ve booked your vacation independently through non-reputable sources on the Internet, who are you going to call if you run into problems along the way? What happens if the individ-ual or company you’ve been working with suddenly refuses to respond to your email re-quests?

By using a AAA travel agent, you have peace of mind in knowing that your agent is always going to be there and accessible to you throughout your trip; by phone, email and even at our brick and mortar stores in order to help make last-minute changes and resolve challenges, should the need arise. We won’t ever hide from your problems if you book through us and remember; our services are fee-free!

n What do hotel star ratings mean? Five-star sounds lush and extravagant, and two- or three-star hotels sound great for travelers on a budget, but do these ratings have any meaning anymore? The problem is that so many websites have varying methods of ascribing ratings to their hotels—some allow customers to submit their own reviews while others have a more methodical approach. Be wary of “official” star ratings—they might not mean what you think! – CNN Travel

n Discover America’s national parks • According to the U.S. Department of the Interior, the United States is home to nearly 400 national parks—including historic sites as well as national monuments—that span across 84 million acres. Each park has its own regulations regarding camping and travel so be sure to visit nationalparks.org before embarking on your adventure. – Fox News Travel

n Travelling with teens and their technology • Finding ways to work with your teen (rather than against him or her) can be beneficial for everyone; setting aside time for social media or Internet access, requesting assistance with directions or information via smartphone and other methods of interaction are ways to make traveling with adolescents a little more fun. – Yahoo Travel

Neighbors…90 minutes of non-stop laughs

Have you ever gone through the process of moving? Putting your current place up for sale. Hoping you receive at least

one respectable offer. Packing up your stuff. Searching for your next dream house. Putting in an offer and waiting to hear if it was accepted or if not, while hoping the counter offer is not too much out your price range. Without a doubt, moving has to be one of the most stressful events in life and it’s one that often gets repeated several times throughout the average lifetime. The amount of unknowns that come with moving are staggering. However, one factor that regularly gets overlooked while changing residences is neighbors. Well, this often-ignored aspect of moving is the subject of the new comedy starring Seth Rogen, Neighbors.

Neighbors is about 30-something yuppie couple Mac (Rogen) and Kelly Rad-ner (Rose Byrne). The Rad-ners have recently become the proud parents of a beau-

tiful baby girl. With their expanding family, the Radners became first-time homeowners after purchasing the house of their dreams. Little do they know, their dream house is about to turn into an absolute nightmare as a fraternity moves into the house next door. The

frat’s all-hour raucous activities and shenanigans soon become too much for the Radners to handle and an all-out war prank ensues, pitting neigh-bor against neighbor.

I hate to break it to you, but if you want to see a film with an original, well-crafted story then Neighbors is not for you. It’s not until about half way through the film that there is even a smattering of anything even remotely resembling a sto-

ry. Instead, the film feels like a series of loosely connect-ed SNL skits. Whenever the story does come along, it’s so bland and unoriginal, it kind of makes you wonder why the filmmakers even bothered supplying one.

Without the existence of a story for much of the film, the direction is pretty poor and pacing is not much better. There are several times when

the film comes to a screeching halt and basi-cally relies on the personality of Rogen to keep it going. Luckily, Rogen is enough to keep the film going and to hold your interest.

If story is your thing then Neighbors is not for you. However, if you enjoy a film packed with more than enough material to keep you rolling with laughter for an hour and a half, then check out Neighbors. A respectable 3.5 out of 5.

DISPATCHLong-term care now priced by gender • Deciding to buy long-term-care insurance is a big financial commitment — even more so if you are a woman. Last year, Genworth Financial and other big insurance companies adopted gender-distinct rates for long-term care insurance — which means that if you are a woman, you will now pay more than a man for the same coverage. Long-term-care insurance pays for help with daily activities like bathing and dressing, if you can no longer do them yourself. Long-term care insurers said they adopted gender-based premiums to reflect the reality that women tend to live longer than men and are more likely to use benefits. Women own about 58 percent of policies, Genworth said, but account for nearly 67 percent of all claims. The effect is that women will now pay several hundred dollars more a year in long-term-care premiums than a man would for a comparable policy.

Don’t fear the eggplant

There’s a first time for everything, particularly eating heavenly, health- sustaining plant food. For some,

Eggplant presents a challenge. “I simply detest eggplant!” I hear it all the time as eggplant isn’t the ‘go-to’ food in Indiana.

Botanically, the misunderstood eggplant is a fruit. Since prehis-toric times, it’s been cultivated in southern and eastern Asia, but In-dia domesticated the eggplant. The eggplant reached Europe, where it was initially thought to cause in-sanity since it’s a member of the Night Shade Family. According to a 5th century Chinese scroll, fashionable Chi-nese women made dye out of the skin of pur-ple eggplants and polish their teeth with it. Amateur Botanist Thomas Jefferson brought the highly nutritious eggplant to the States, where it was for table decoration.

Fast forward: CNN recently report-ed, "Cancer cases are expected to surge 57 percent worldwide in the next 20 years, an imminent 'hu-man disaster' that will require a renewed focus on prevention to combat, according to the World Health Organization.” Say hello to eggplant and its protective anti-oxidants. Actually, ALL of creations ‘edible’ plants contain cancer-prevent-ing phytonutrients in various forms. The US-DA’s Agricultural Research Service reports the Chlorogenic acid in eggplant is known for its high antioxidant mojo. Antioxidants, BTW shield your temple’s cells from snarky oxidation, a chemical process that damages cells and contributes to disease. The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports the nasunin in eggplant has antiangiogenic

abilities. The Cancer Center at the Angiogen-esis Foundation explains when something is angiogenic, it stimulates new growth of blood vessels and blood supply. Cancerous cells can gain angiogenesis ability, which cause cancer-ous masses or tumors to grow quicker. Na-

sunin prevents angiogenesis. Egg-plant’s an excellent source of fiber, which helps protects your temple against type 2 diabetes and keeps your bowels smoothly movin’. The vitamins in eggplant consist pri-marily of vitamins A, B , folate, vita-min C, potassium, magnesium, cal-cium and phosphorous. Fat-free, six

carbs and 27 calories in 1-cup, the eggplant is an outstand-ing addition to the family din-

ner table.Eggplant is a blank canvas

where you can paint many flavor combinations; Eggplant Parme-san, lasagna, ratatouille (Not the rat), or classic Baba Ghanoosh. Marinate unskinned slices and or

toss cubes into a stir-fry, side veg-etable, or inside a sandwich wrap.

Season slices and then broil, bake, sauté, puree or rub them all over your

body if you wishThe act of salting and rinsing egg-

plant to reduce bitterness isn’t as neces-sary these days because modern eggplants

are less bitter, although, salting eggplant will reduce the amount of oil absorbed in cooking and release excessive water.

Your sacred temple was created to express perfect health from the moment you were born. Every compassionate change you make to more plant food matters. Choose mindfully valued friends and avoid the upcoming tsuna-mi of cancer; a man-made disease.

Spring is here, a perfect time for new beginnings.

After this winter, isn’t it time to start living a worry free lifestyle? Stop in and see for yourself why Rosegate offers the perfect lifestyle for seniors!

With her family and her private practice staff joining her, Mayer will receive the award May 9, at her Southside office, adjacent to the Fran-ciscan St. Francis-Indianapolis campus. Mayer is board-certified in internal medicine, medical oncology and hematology. She is a member of the Indi-ana State Medical Society, Hoosier Oncology Group, American College of Physicians and American Society. An Indianapolis resident, Mayer earned a degree in agriculture at Purdue University, where she also studied chemical engineering.

For SST by Bill Heidenreich of Heidenreich Greenhouses and Garden Center

What a wonderful spring we are enjoying, especially after feeling the wrath of Mother Nature this past winter. The weather has been sensational. The weekend weather has cer-tainly been good enough for us all to get into our yards and do a spring clean up. Lawns are growing rapidly, perennial plants should be sprouting out of the ground, and it is time to plant flowers.

If you have not put down a pre emergent weed killer yet, you are probably too late. If you have weeds in the lawn make sure you get a post emer-gent instead. The differ-ence is the pre emergent keeps the dormant weed seed from germinating. The post emer-gent weed killers take care of the weeds that have already sprouted. Pre emergents are ap-plied in March. Mowing no lower than three inches helps keep weeds in the yard down.

With the tough winter we had, there is quite a bit of dieback on shrubs, perennial, bushes etc. If you have some dieback on perenni-

al shrubs and plants just trim off what is not greened up yet. Fertilize your plant material monthly to rejuvenate. If you do not see any growth in the next week or so, you probably lost the plant due to the harsh winter we had.

Plant flowers. There is nothing like a little color to brighten up your landscape. There are annual flowers for all conditions. Sun, part sun, shade, wet areas and dry areas. Visit

your local greenhouse or garden center and speak to the staff there for helpful tips on

what to plant where. Remember to fertilize everything from lawns

to perennial to shrubs to flowers for a lush full

green colorful look.Try some mulch.

There are many kinds and colors to choose

from. Mulch helps hold moisture and keep weeds

down. It also gives your yard a touch of finished class.

Plant a vegetable garden. There is noth-ing like walking into your garden and picking fresh produce. Now is the time for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash, beans, corn, on-ions and much more. Plant now and enjoy lat-er the fruits of your labor. Happy gardening.

Spring has sprungFEATURE

GRAMMAR GUY

Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for The Southside Times. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rj-fische@gmail.com.

Jordan FischerGRAMMAR GUY

Data: Singular or plural?

Question: "Grammar Guy, I see the word 'data' used all the time as both a singular and plural noun. Can it be both, or is there a consistent rule for it?"

Answer: I've been saving this question for the right time, and since I've spent the last week nose-deep in spreadsheets, I think I'm ready for it.

To begin with, "data" comes to us directly from Latin, where it is the plural form of "datum" (Mean-ing: "an item given"). In English, we understand data as "facts or infor-mation used usually to calculate, analyze, or plan something." When you enter your desti-nation into MapQuest: That's data. When you fill out a survey: That's data. When you vote in an election: That's data. Data is information.

Some professional organizations have en-deavored to standardize the use of "data." The American Psychological Association, which regulates APA Style, has, for example, decid-ed that "data" is always to be used as a plural noun.

For most uses that don't follow APA Style, however, you'll need to decide whether "data" is acting as a count noun or a mass noun.

The best way to do this is to decide whether you are referring to individual units of data or an abstract group of data as a whole. A trick to help you figure this out at first is to mental-

ly add the word "points" after "data" in the sentence and see whether it makes sense.

For example: "These data (points) are out of order" vs. "This data (points) comes to us from the CDC." In the first sentence, the ad-dition of "points" makes sense be-cause we are talking about indi-vidual data. "Data" is therefore a count noun and should be treated as a plural. In the second sentence, adding "points" doesn't make sense

– "data" is acting as a mass noun and should get a singular verb.

Sometimes, though, treating "data" as a sin-gular or plural noun comes down to person-al preference. Consider this sentence: "Self-reported data (is/are) historically unreliable." "Data" could be used as either a singular or plural noun in the sentence, and both choices would make sense and be grammatically ac-ceptable. Like the data itself, how you use it is up to you.

RECIPE

For The Southside Times by Family FeaturesWinter is behind us and schedules are be-

ginning to fill up, the best kind of weeknight meal is a quick, easy and delicious one.

In about 15 minutes, Antipasto Bean Salad can be on the table, or ready for toting to the office potluck or a neighborhood picnic. Star-ring classic antipasto ingredients, this main dish pasta salad doesn’t require cooking, ex-cept for the pasta. While the pasta is boiling, there’s time to prep the other ingredients.

Start with high-quality prepared foods that can be purchased at the supermarket. No gourmet food shopping necessary, but the fin-ished salad will be reminiscent of one from a specialty deli or food shop. Begin with a can of READ 3 or 4 Bean Salad. This combination of green, wax and kidney beans, with chick-peas making the fourth bean, is the base for the salad. The beans, along with jarred roasted peppers, canned artichoke hearts, mozzarella cheese and strips of salami, make a great-tast-ing Italian-inspired meal.

For the simple dressing, add olive oil, fresh garlic and herbs to some of the reserved liquid from the bean salad, then toss with the pasta and bean mixture. Serve it at room tempera-ture or chilled – this dish is destined to be-come a favorite go-to recipe.

24 Week of May 15-21, 2014 • ss-times.com The Southside TimesFAITH

DEVOTIONALBy Pastor Paul A. Kirby

"Is any sick among you? let him call for the el-ders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."

~ James 5:14-15

What is God's ultimate goal for us? It is my belief that His ultimate goal is to have us there in heaven with Him. That is what He sent Christ to tell us and that is what Christ expressed to His disciples in John 14:1-6. But, in the interim, while we still live here on the earth in these houses of clay, God wants to do things for us that will make our lives more beneficial to Himself and to ourselves. As Christ told the Syro-Phoenician woman, "Healing is the children's bread."

As far as I know, I am a child of God. John's gospel, chapter one and verse twelve tells me that, "Now we are the sons of God." Those of us who are born again, saved, washed by the blood of Jesus Christ, are the sons and daugh-ters of God. We are His own dear people and out of that relationship with Him comes many wonderful benefits with healing being just one of them.

I realized that there are many who do not believe in miracles with God's divine healing

of the human body being one of them. I do believe in miracles and I do believe God's di-vine healing is one of them. God does heal. He heals at His discretion and not ours. There is no "magic wand" that one can wave over an af-fliction or a disease that will make it go away. We all get sick from time to time and one day we will get sick and die. That is an inevitable fate we all must face. But, until it is time for us to depart this world, we have this wonder-ful Father in heaven who cares for us and who will be there for us and heal us of this world's diseases.

I have been healed many times. I have prayed for the others who were sick with life-threatening diseases and afflictions and seen them healed. I have prayed for many who were never healed on this side of eternity but I fully believe that they received absolute and permanent healing on the other side the moment they entered paradise. One glori-ous day, Christ will come again and with the sound of the last trumpet blast and the call "Come forth!" every one of those diseased and afflicted bodies of the righteous dead will awaken, arise, be permanently and gloriously healed and go to be with the Lord forever in that healed condition. Those are comforting words, these should be comforting words to us all.

God bless and go and have a great day.

Janet Price retires from RoncalliRoncalli will say good bye to a longtime stalwart member of the faculty when Janet Price retires from education at the end of this year. She has been a classroom teacher for 36 years including the last 21 at Roncalli, where she taught German and for some years French as well. "Janet's passion for teaching and German both run deep. She is the consummate professional, and her love for and dedication to Roncalli High School has been unmatched over these past 21 years,” said Chuck Weisenbach, Roncalli’s principal. “In and out of the classroom, Janet has been a major contributor to the success of our school. She has impacted many, many students' lives in a positive way, and we will miss her dearly!" Roncalli will hold a reception for Janet on May 19, 3:15 – 5 p.m. in the school’s Media Center. All in the Roncalli family are encouraged to send notes of thanks and well wishes to Janet if you are not able to attend the reception on May 19.
