Well, if you noticed any or all of these changes, I’d like to explain the changes in the Center Grove area’s most-read monthly publication.

we upgraded the paper to a more modern matte finish. It feels better and produces less glare on the page, making it easier to read.

MORE WHITE SPACE AND BIGGER PHOTOS Each page now has more white space around the copy and photos.

The white space improves readability, and we added bigger photos to complement the stories.

People want more good local news, and we want to provide that news in a more contemporary style. While most of the changes are subtle, others are a little more pronounced. Here’s a cheat sheet of the upgrades we introduced with this month’s issue: NEW MASTHEAD Probably the first thing you noticed is the Center Grove Community Newsletter on the cover is different.

RADISH ROSES Writer / Nancy Craig

Watermelon radishes Photo / seedsavers.org

You don’t think of giving red radishes to your valentine, but what a fun vegetable to grow and share, and it’s much healthier than candy!

My great nieces, Lindsey and Lauren, and I are going to plant radish seeds a couple of ways. First, we are going to grow radishes as microgreens and then we will plant seeds in a “root view” container.

We’ll also try some of the recipes for radishes from the book “Project Garden: A Month-by-Month Guide to Planting, Growing, and Enjoying ALL Your Backyard Has to Offer” by Stacy Tornio.

Radishes are the easiest and quickest seeds to plant and harvest as microgreens. We will use a kit for our first try at microgreens, but it is just as easy to repurpose pint containers from the grocery store — for example, reuse the plastic container from cherry tomatoes.

It is important to use good potting mix and good quality seeds and to water carefully. After we plant the seeds, we will soon see leaves sprouting that we can cut and eat. For steps on how to grow microgreens, visit organicgardening.com/print/12134.

Enjoy growing and eating healthy plants, and have a happy Valentine’s Day! P.S. Ken, you can still get me chocolates and red roses!

Nancy loves flower gardening almost as much as she does her great nephews and nieces. Her interest in gardening intensified while living in Holland and was perfected with Master Gardener courses.

Radish seeds planted in a special root-view container will take longer to harvest, but the twins will enjoy watching the radish bulbs develop. You can buy root-view kits, but we are going to reuse an orange juice carton to make the special container with a view. Just cut out a section of the carton and use tape to create a clear plastic window, then put in potting mix and plant the seeds.

Radishes come in many colors, but we will plant the bright red ones that look like hearts.

You can get all kinds of wonderful seeds from the Seed Savers Exchange digital catalog — we may try the watermelon radish next! You can find their catalog here: seedsavers.org/ onlinestore/radish/Radish-Watermelon.html.

COMMUNITY CONNECTION

THE REFUGE

Writer / Erin Smith

The word “refuge” means “to shelter or protect from danger or distress,” according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Hence one of the main goals of the notfor-profit organization The Refuge, created

by CEO Thom Hord, does that and much more for our community. Back in 2007, Pastor Hord’s passion was to pull our community together as a whole to serve those in need more efficiently. Organizing a nondenominational, faith-based outreach center was just the answer.

Governed by a board of nine and supported by organizations, businesses and individuals, more than 21,000 individuals were served in 2013 alone. According to the organization’s mission statement: “The Refuge seeks to provide a stable source of care for men, women and children looking to halt the course of poverty. The Refuge pursues opportunities to help the growth and development for healthier children, stronger families and a positive community through relationships that reach out for the physical, emotional, academic and spiritual needs of area residents.”

Volunteer Mary Gardner lives by Bible verse 1 Peter 4:10: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

Research has proved that education is the best intervention to stop the cycle of poverty. The Refuge has been instrumental in providing life skills classes and a computer lab to be proactive in breaking the cycle as well as providing the necessities of everyday life, such as food and clothing, to assist struggling families. Volunteers are always needed to help with food and furniture pickups, sorting and stocking of the pantry.

P Volunteer Mary Gardner started out sorting food for the pantry and then began building relationships with clients so they felt respected and cared about. She shared, “Our clients are truly kind people, just down on their luck. I am so blessed to serve them.”

If your heart is touched after reading this article and you have a passion for helping struggling families get back on their feet, The Refuge needs your help! Consider getting involved and be a part of the solution to break the cycle of poverty. Your efforts will bring joy to others and make our community a better place to live and work.

WOLF ADVENTURE CAMPS KEEP KIDS BUSY DURING BREAK Writer / Barbara Augsdorfer

Has the snow melted yet? Even if the snow is still lying around in dirty piles everywhere, it’s time to start thinking about the two-week spring break enjoyed

by Center Grove area students on the new balanced calendar. Two whole weeks! What to do?

I REMEMBER WHEN...I FOUND HUNGER IN CENTER GROVE THE LARRY MOORE STORY

Writer & Photographer / Tia Nielsen Additional Photos / KAH-Greenwood / Haiti: Hilda Perez for Food for the Poor

“I remember when I was totally ignorant about hunger,” says Larry Moore, Center Grove resident since 2004 and founder and executive director of Kids Against Hunger-Greenwood. Learning about the face of hunger in America, and yes, Center Grove, launched a new beginning for this former corporate businessman.

You might say it was love at first sight.

While growing up in Kansas, Moore’s uncles had farms, so the thought of anyone not having enough food was inconceivable.

In 2007, Moore’s then employer in Indiana asked him to check out the unique food packing events that Kids Against Hunger can arrange for businesses, churches or community groups to do together. The efficient system of supplying highly nutritious food to the hungry around the world that the national Kids Against Hunger nonprofit had put in place amazed Moore. Additionally, the fun

generated when a group of individuals worked together to pack thousands of meals in mere hours was exhilarating. Moore recalls, “I just fell in love with it!”

The scope of hunger internationally and in Johnson County was eye-opening. “I learned through Kids Against Hunger and by talking with volunteers at area food pantries,” says Moore.

Stereotypes proved to be false. He discovered that 99.9 percent of those in crisis and needing food were hardworking and loathed seeking help.

“Things happen in life,” Moore notes. “I’ve seen a consistent pattern of people living life and being in the habit of helping others. Then their company goes out of business or downsizes. In many cases, these people had been donating to food pantries, and now they must ask for help. They are embarrassed. As soon as they get a job, they bring food to the pantry. They are grateful to not have to ask for help now.”

CenterGrove_February_2014.indd 12

1/27/2014 7:20:28 PM

Moore celebrated Christmas 2009 by founding KAH-Greenwood as an independent nonprofit “satellite” packaging location of the national Kids Against Hunger out of New Hope, Minn. Six months later, he was working full time as the demand mushroomed, particularly due to the needs in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

A new forklift joined the KAH-Greenwood “family” in December.

Larry Moore, (R) said it will double their warehouse capacity.

Ron Pierce (L) is the Events manager to contact when a group wants to plan a food packing event.

KAH offers a team-oriented system to rapidly package a nutritionally dense, fortified formula of soy, rice and dehydrated vegetables in a bag that feeds six. The dry mixture was developed for starving children. A team can safely pack 3,000 meals during a two-hour packing event.

A portion of the food packed goes to central Indiana families through local food pantries, Midwest Food Bank and Gleaners. The group packing the food consults with Moore and his team to select the recipient of their efforts. The delivery can then be tracked online.

Each bag that feeds six is placed in a box holding 36 bags, which become 216 meals. Thirty-three boxes (cartons) fit on a pallet. A pallet will serve 7,128 people. For food headed out of the country, a 40-foot shipping container has to be filled holding 38 pallets. That container equals 270,864 meals. That is the same as feeding everyone in Johnson, Morgan, Shelby and Brown counties, with 12,000 meals left over.

Moore’s background includes experience traveling internationally in the process of developing new products and programs. That “gave me an understanding of other cultures and the challenges of developing nations. Now combining the challenge of a fastgrowing organization with the fulfilling nature of our work is truly a blessing!”

You may be wondering, but does it taste good? The Inter Church Food Pantry of Johnson County writes on the KAHGreenwood website: “I asked a mother if her children liked Kids Against Hunger meals….She had put off making some for her family, but one day it was really all she had left to fix for dinner. She cooked up the packet, added some orange juice, soy sauce and canned chicken, then baked it. That dinner is now her family’s favorite meal, and they ask for it all the time.”

The church or corporate teams either raise the funds or donate to cover the cost of the food and its shipping or truck freight.

Each meal runs 25 to 30 cents per meal. You can feed 40 children for $10.

Moore and the packing teams live by this quote from Martin Luther King Jr.: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

CORPORATE CUP CHALLENGE FUN & FUNDRAISING Writer / Ann Craig-Cinnamon Photographer / Miranda McGovern

It’s usually not good form to tackle the person in the cubicle next to yours at work. In addition, it’s frowned upon to play a game of euchre during office hours. But March 7-8, it will not only be acceptable, it will be encouraged. Those are the dates for this year’s sixth annual Corporate Cup Challenge, a unique event that brings local businesses together in a fun two-day event to support local charities.

The Corporate Cup Challenge was the brainchild of Jess Carrasquillo, the owner of Easy Street Insurance in Center Grove.

Carrasquillo wanted to find a way to help people and had been to similar events in which co-workers competed against other companies. It’s a great way for co-workers to bond and have fun outside the workplace. It’s a great way to network, with 35-plus companies participating. Plus, it’s a fundraiser, with all the money raised going to local charities. Healthy activity combined with team bonding, networking and raising money for charities on a local level — it’s what Carrasquillo calls a win-win-win event.

When he began planning for the first Corporate Cup Challenge, Carrasquillo assembled a team of leaders from the community, and that team still runs the event and picks the charitable organizations that will benefit. Joe Sagorsky, the director of Employer Health Solutions with the St. Francis Health Network, is the chairperson of the 2014 Corporate Cup Challenge and has personally participated in the Corporate Cup Challenge every year. He says it’s a great opportunity to bring local businesses both large and small together to enjoy some friendly competition and health benefits of participating in sporting activities. Sagorsky says he has received nothing but very positive feedback from a majority of the participants. “The CCC had some early growing pains, but every year the committee is looking at ways to improve the event, and it shows by the increase in participating companies,” he says.

St. Francis, no stranger to sponsoring events, continues to be a major supporter of the event, along with several other companies in the Center Grove area. “The hospital always has been and will continue to be committed to supporting organizations that promote health and fitness to the broader community. This is a core value of our hospital system, and we’ve been doing that well for almost 100 years,” says Sagorsky, who has worked for Franciscan St. Francis Health for 26 years.

You don’t have to be a buffed athlete to participate in the Corporate Cup Challenge, because the event encompasses a little something for everyone, including bowling, flag football, volleyball, basketball, cornhole, euchre, tug-of-war, dodgeball, an obstacle relay course and, new this year, 3 vs. 3 soccer.

The events are spread out over two days at three venues. Those venues are Mount Pleasant Christian Church at the Community Life Center, The Community Church of Greenwood at the Gathering Place and Southern Bowl. For $25, participants get to play in two events and they get a T-shirt. Each additional event is $5 each.

MARCH 7 & 8 2014 BENEFACTORS

Throughout the competition, top finishers accumulate points in each event and are given gold, silver and bronze medals. Each company’s points are tallied, and at the close of the event, the company that earned the most points is awarded the Corporate Cup trophy. There is also a spirit award handed out to the company that showed the most team spirit, professionalism and sportsmanship.

Center Grove can be proud of this unique event. Sagorsky comments that it says a lot about the people and businesses of the Center Grove area. “I would like to think that we continue to be a tightknit business community that is committed to helping each other succeed and grow while supporting deserving charities that faithfully serve our greater community,” he says. In the past five years, close to $50,000 has been raised and numerous organizations have benefited. Last year, St. Francis’ Hospice House and Sheltering Wings each received $5,100. This year a veterans group and an organization that helps homeless kids will benefit.

Sagorsky recalls the great time his teams have had. “I think one of my favorite memories is participating in the dodgeball tournament and experiencing the joy of watching my relatively shy and reserved fellow employees and other competitors really get into the game and show their competitive spirit. They actually really look forward to participating each year, and many have even registered to compete in multiple events,” he says.

Savvy Shoppers Find Items ‘New’ to Them at Consignment & Resale Shops Writer / Katelyn Bausman

Your “trash” (actually your gently worn clothes and home decor items) can be another person’s treasure. Savvy fashionistas looking to save money can purchase “pre-loved” clothing and other items from consignment and resale shops, plus make money by reselling their own items.

“Consignment”

A store sells your items for you, in return for a percentage of the selling price. The item is returned to you if not sold within a certain time frame. You must wait for your items to sell in order to be paid, but quality is high with consignment stores where you can find like-new items at a fraction of retail prices.

“Resale”

A store buys your items outright on the spot and pays either cash or store credit. The resale store is taking a chance on the item selling, and the sale is their responsibility, not yours, so you may be paid considerably less for your items.

In frugal times, you can save money and be stylish by shopping at these stores or turn your cluttered closet into cash. It’s good for your wallet and the environment. With these shops, you’ll find items that seem one of a kind because it’s unlikely to see someone else wearing them.

Here is a sampling of consignment and resale stores in our area.

Selling tip: The better the clothing looks, the better it sells. Look at your clothing from an outsider’s perspective and ask if you would buy it if you were shopping (e.g., clean, no stains or damages, not too worn, has all buttons, pressed, on a hanger). If you wouldn’t buy it, then donate it to charity.

Specialties: Women’s, Plus, Juniors’, Accessories, Prom Shopping tip: Look through items carefully; consignment stores are not like retail clothing stores where there are multiple sizes of each item available (usually there’s just one of each). Familiarize yourself with the store layout and ask a clerk where items are. Make sure to try the clothes on!

Selling tip: Look for items that are within one to three years of age that are still in style.

Shoes, purses and jewelry sell extremely well.

Specialties: Women’s, Juniors’, Curvy Divas (Plus), Accessories Shopping tip: Shop for clothing one size up and down from what you typically wear.

Because items are pre-worn and laundered, they may have stretched or shrunk. Shop often because stores get new inventory every day.

Selling tip: Bring in seasonal items at the beginning of the season in order to get the best return (e.g., spring items at the beginning of spring).

Shopping tip: It is very important to try wedding and prom dresses on and make sure they fit; sometimes the size can be very different because they’re pre-worn. And because the item is at a reduced price, you can afford to get your item tailored.

Selling tip: You can consign (buy or sell) your entire wedding party’s attire (e.g., dresses, shoes, accessories). For prom, longer dresses sell more often than shorter dresses.

There are many more consignment and resale stores in and around our area.

WHAT IS TEACHING? CADET TEACHERS LEARN BY EXPERIENCE Writer / Tonja Talley

Is teaching an art? Is teaching a learned skill? Kara Johnson, a CGHS senior and Cadet teacher, believes teaching is a little bit of both.

“It is somewhat an art in that teachers need to be creative in their lesson planning. They need to think of the attention span of their grade level and the individual students within it. Sometimes it comes natural; sometimes it needs a little experience and training,” Kara said with assurance.

According to Becky Kaylor, CGHS Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, the education professions class at the high school, also known as Cadet Teaching, reflects on the importance of giving seniors like Kara, who is interested in becoming a future teacher, prevocational information and experience. “Juniors interested in being a Cadet in their senior year reach out to a CG elementary or middle school teacher to be their cooperating teacher. During the following year, these teachers are asked to give the senior a chance to observe the class, work with the teacher’s logs, assist students with questions, plus prepare and present a lesson plan,” said Kaylor.

Vicki House, a second-grade cooperating teacher from Pleasant Grove Elementary, rates the program as excellent. “[These Cadets] bring a new energy to the classroom that relates well with the

younger students,” House said. “I try to allow the Cadet to be involved with every aspect of teaching possible; it gives them the chance to see if this is truly their field of study or not.”

Donning a new purple unicorn necklace given to her by one of the students, Kara beamed as she talked about “her” students. She talked of their successes in the classroom. “I have seen the students struggle with understanding what they are reading or the connection of words in a sentence. But then I get to witness the excitement of accomplishment in their eyes when they understand it. Well, I didn’t realize when I started how attached you can get to these students.

You want them to succeed,” Kara said. “I have known since seventh grade that I want to be an elementary teacher. This experience has just reinforced it,” she added.

Tommy Maxwell, another one of the 28 Cadets in the EP class this year, agrees with Kara’s statement. “I have felt blessed by this entire experience because I have the opportunity to touch the lives of all my students. If my presence in the classroom has helped one student, I will have accomplished one of my goals.”

When Tommy’s coordinating teacher, Debbie Shaw, a first-grade teacher also from PGE, was asked how this program is beneficial to a high school student, her response dealt with one word: opportunity.

Tommy Maxwell, Mrs. Becky Kaylor and Kara Johnson. Instrumental in this class receiving dual credit hours for college, Mrs. Becky Kaylor, also an adjunct professor at Ivy Tech, states: “If a student qualifies in Reading, Sentence Structure and Math on the college entrance tests, he or she becomes eligible for enrollment into the Introduction to Education 101 through Ivy Tech. This is a three-credit hour course that is transferable to most colleges and at no cost to the student.”

“It allows that student to spend an extended period of time in the classroom, giving the student an opportunity to see many aspects of a teacher’s day.”

According to Tommy, he has embraced this opportunity, even grabbing the chance to work in the classroom for a full day.

Tommy summed up that last full day before Christmas break this way: “I felt exhausted but exhilarated all at the same time.

From the reindeer food craft we made to the math stations to the reading wall word testing and on to individual assignments — spelling tests, math papers, etc., it made for a jam-packed day.”

The preparation and presentation of a lesson plan also proves to be a time of enlightenment for the Cadets. Kara based her lesson plan around the second-graders’ weekly story words. “It was hard work,” Kara said of preparing her lesson plan. “But the lesson plans we are to write are important. In my situation, it gave me a chance to apply what I have learned from both Mrs. Kaylor and Mrs. House. And from the reaction of my secondgraders, my lesson plan must have been a success.”

As these seniors take their steps up the stage to receive their diplomas in May, Kaylor hopes all the Cadets will not think about whether teaching is an art or a learned skill, but will take with them “the knowledge that they have found a passion to teach, remembering their Cadet Teaching and their first class of students.”

REACH Collaboration for Student Success

Writer / Joyce Long . Photographers / Jessica Limeberry, Lemongrass Photography & Center Grove Schools

The Center Grove Education Foundation values collaboration.

In fact, its executive director, Carla Johnson, depends upon it.

Surrounded by an active 17-member board, she understands how vital working with the community and school personnel can be in achieving goals for Center Grove’s students.

“About two years ago we made a concerted effort to align our goals with those of the school corporation,” Johnson says.

Superintendent Rich Arkanoff, his administrative team and the Center Grove teachers’ association developed a comprehensive plan, the REACH Program, featuring remediation, enrichment and achievement. Its goal was threefold and included hiring a family resource officer, developing Camp REACH and launching the Middle School Alternative Academy.

Family Resource Officer Julie Stigall’s goal is to help chronically absent elementary students return to school. “You see the value of school attendance in this position because of all that the children need to learn.” Her day-to-day challenge is reaching parents to

discover their circumstances and how she can help them get their children in school.

Funding Stigall’s position comes from a variety of sources, including a three-year grant from Johnson County’s Department of Child Services. She reports directly to the Johnson County Community Corrections juvenile program manager and, as of 2014, is responsible for developing pilot programs for middle school students in both Center Grove and Nineveh-Hensley Jackson school corporations.

“I love my job. I see it as helping. My reward is getting children back in school and seeing them succeed,” says Stigall.

Camp REACH, the second rung on the program’s ladder, involves instructional camps to enhance student achievement during Center Grove’s balanced calendar intersessions. Center Grove Curriculum Director Wendy Kruger will oversee Camp REACH, which will also offer courses for primary students wanting enrichment in art, technology and foreign language/culture.

CenterGrove_February_2014.indd 24

1/28/2014 10:02:15 AM

Carla Johnson, Executive Director of the Center Grove Education Foundation, and Janet Hubler, 2014 Gala chairperson.

These one-week camps will launch during fall break 2014 and spring break 2015. Remediation with personalized instruction will help students in kindergarten through third grade who are not reading at grade level and are struggling with mathematics.

Kruger notes, “Students who fall behind in early grades have a more difficult time catching up with their peers. By providing remediation to younger students, we are helping students to be successful in their future courses.”

Kruger explains that providing enrichment opportunities for students on grade level will hopefully ignite passion for specific topics of learning such as science or art. “For the enrichment courses, teachers will have the opportunity to create learning experiences beyond the regular classroom experience.”

Middle School Alternative Academy, the third rung on REACH’s ladder, will be offered as an option to expulsion for students in grades six through eight. It will be modeled after the Center Grove Alternative Academy directed by Beth Bryant, who is currently developing this initiative with middle school principals Scott

Johnson and Nora Hoover. While the high school’s academy, CGAA, actually began in spring 2006 and initially concentrated on freshmen and sophomores, it now focuses on preparing seniors for graduation.

“Two major components of our program include a variety of guest speakers who discuss careers, finances and overcoming difficulties in their lives, and community service, which led to our CARE Pantry,” says Terry Lain, CGAA assistant. “The academy gives our students the confidence they didn’t get in the traditional classroom.

Here they are self-paced.”

Because personalized instruction costs more, the money raised from Center Grove Education Foundation’s annual Gala for the Grove is vital. This year’s fundraiser, “Reach for the Stars,” will take place Saturday, Feb. 22, at the Indiana Roof Ballroom, 140 W. Washington St. in Indianapolis. CGHS graduates from the Classes of 1964, 1989 and 2004 will be honored, with a discounted ticket of $80, which includes a commemorative program as well as group photos and a plaque to be displayed at the high school.

1/28/2014 10:02:22 AM

With the alumni association now under CGEF’s umbrella, they are seeking sponsorships of $2,000 for each class that will be honored. To purchase a ticket for $100 or to sponsor a class, visit centergrovefoundation.org until Saturday, Feb. 15.

The 2014 Gala Executive Committee, consisting of second-year chairperson Janet Hubler, assistant chairpersons Kate Rhoten and Darlene Ingalls, and adviser Erin Smith, began planning soon after last year’s gala. “Last year Janet transformed it into a really fun evening to celebrate Center Grove and its schools,” says Johnson. For next year’s gala, Hubler will move into the advisory role as Rhoten and Ingalls assume leadership.

For Johnson, consistent collaboration develops strong programming.

For instance, the idea for Camp REACH’s enrichment segment was validated when a parent asked about the offerings for students who “get up every morning, go to school and get good grades.” Another example came from the business community, specifically Carter Lumber, which helped underwrite a classroom construction project that expanded into students helping build a Habitat for Humanity house.

While Johnson’s background is in marketing and public relations, she has learned much about the principles and techniques of fundraising since she was hired in October 2012. Classes from the IU School of Philanthropy, along with cultivating relationships within Johnson County, have been beneficial. “One of the things I find important is to know our community and be known by them,” Johnson says.

Helping students succeed depends upon that kind of collaboration.

NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS FOR HELP WITH TRAFFIC PROBLEM Writer / Alaina Sullivan

Center Grove will soon have a new superstore along the already well– populated State Road 135, as a new Walmart Supercenter will be added as soon as mid-2014. The location for this new store will be south of Smith Valley Road, next to the Home Depot.

Center Grove residents are divided on the addition of this new store. While it does bring new employment opportunities to the area, a major concern has been expressed regarding the effect this new addition will have on the already congested and dangerous intersection at Smith Valley Road and State Road 135. In order to allow this project to proceed, the city of Greenwood has put the responsibility on Walmart to pay for modifications to the intersection to allow for this increased traffic. These plans have been approved and are being overseen by Greenwood, while Walmart will be paying for construction costs.

“The plans call for adding a dedicated rightturn lane to eastbound Smith Valley Road, as well as center medians to SR 135 and Smith Valley Road,” says Mark Richards, director of Greenwood Community Development Services and city engineer.

“Those improvements are expected to help mitigate congestion at this intersection by reducing the volume for eastbound through traffic and eliminating left-turn movements from westbound Smith Valley Road into CVS that cause bottlenecks and accidents.”

Those concerned about where the median ends will need to make adjustments when

turning into Home Depot. Driving west on Smith Valley Road, one will need to enter through the store’s back entrance.

Alternatively, motorists can enter from southbound State Road 135. “The median on Smith Valley Road will be a total of about 500 feet long and terminate approximately 125 feet west of the CVS driveway entrance,” says Richards.

In addition, Richards says another median will be constructed southbound on State Road 135 beginning at the intersection and running past the north entrance to Target. If shoppers want to turn into Target heading south on State Road 135, they will need to enter through the south entrance to the store, turning left at the stoplight. This intersection will also be the main access point for Walmart, as well.

The city is strictly following design standards instituted by the Indiana Department of Transportation for construction of roadways, including medians, traffic signs, pavement markings and signals. INDOT requirements must be met in order for the city to secure a permit to perform work on State Road 135.

“I don’t expect this to be a problem, because INDOT has reviewed the plans and provided comments back to Walmart’s engineering consultant, who has in turn made requested revisions to the plans,” says Richards.

Improvements to the roadways are expected to start in the spring of 2014 depending on weather conditions. Richards says he expects the bidding process to take eight weeks from advertisement to award.

RESIDENTS CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC Residents in the Carefree neighborhood have particular concerns with an intersection that is already dangerous and has the potential to only become more

so with the additional traffic brought by Walmart. This intersection involves traffic entering and exiting West Smith Valley Road from Tarry Lane; Carefree South, located north of Smith Valley; and two separate driveways within feet of each other, one from Home Depot and the other

Come home to more than ever before.

from Greenwood Office Suites, located west of Home Depot. The exits from these two buildings are not connected, causing extra risk for drivers who are attempting to turn onto Smith Valley Road.

“I am very concerned personally about the safety, as I have a teenage daughter who will be driving in a few years,” says Adam Terrell. “This is a very dangerous intersection for experienced drivers, let alone firsttime drivers.”

Residents have been told continually that since this intersection is outside Greenwood’s city limits that it is not the city’s responsibility but rather Johnson County’s.

“I feel the divide between the city of Greenwood and the county is a definite problem with this intersection,” says Terrell. “They should have required the yellow building [Greenwood Office Suites] to enter through Home Depot. Instead, we have three entrances fighting to turn east or west on Smith Valley. With Walmart increasing traffic in this area, it will only be worse. In reality, they need a stoplight at this intersection.”

Angie Smith, with the Carefree Crime Watch Team, expressed concern about what the increased traffic will do in the neighborhood, specifically with drivers who use their neighborhood as a means to cut through traffic between County Line and Smith Valley roads. She compares these possible concerns to traffic problems already experienced in trouble intersections in Carefree North with motorists already disregarding safety measures taken there.

“Anyone can travel from County Line Road to Smith Valley Road cutting through Carefree North and South neighborhoods. The intersection at Fairview is exceptionally dangerous when trying to get out of the neighborhood. Even though there is a four-way stop, people blow through the stop signs without stopping.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IGNORE REQUEST FOR HELP Members of the Johnson County government have been approached regarding these concerns expressed by affected residents and questions as to what the county intends to do to anticipate these problems.

When approached regarding the issue, Johnson County Commissioner Brian Baird says, “I will have to defer to the city of Greenwood and Highway Director Luke Mastin on this issue. I’m not familiar with this matter. I have been assigned two major projects that have 2014 deadlines on them and will be focused on them for now.”

Similarly when approached for questions about this construction, Johnson County Commissioner Ron West deferred the question to Mastin. Mastin and the county highway department are under the control of the county commissioners. The highway department cannot take on a project of this magnitude without the permission of the commissioners.

When asked what he could do to help his constituents with their concerns, West’s response was, “Luke Mastin is the highway department director, and he can best answer your questions.”

However, Mastin responded to questions as to what the county will do to alleviate the concerns of county residents affected by this construction. “The proposed Walmart project is located within the city

Planned Median

limits of Greenwood and is subject only to the reviews, requirements and approvals outlined in the city of Greenwood’s development processes,” says Mastin.

“The county highway department only has jurisdiction over roadways in the unincorporated areas of the county, so no county review or approval is required, or even applicable, for this project.”

The response from county government has left the residents of Carefree and other affected residential and business areas without any recourse.

CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE Anita Knowles represents the residents in Carefree South on the Johnson County Council. Knowles agrees that this situation is a troublesome one for all involved. With Smith Valley Road being in the Greenwood jurisdiction only up to a certain point on the west side of State Road 135 up to the Shepherds Grove subdivision, the residents in neighborhoods outside of the city limits, like Carefree, are the ones who are negatively affected.

A review of the final annexation of Shepherds Grove, located south of Carefree and west of the new development, shows that a few parcels north of Smith Valley Road, owned by the county commissioners,

were also included in the annexation.

This effectively eliminated the county’s control of this portion of the road and left the residents of Carefree without representation or recourse on the proposed changes. Had the county not agreed to these properties being included in the annexation, the commissioners would have been able to influence the design and represent its constituents.

“Unfortunately, the Carefree residents do not live in the city of Greenwood, yet they will be the ones that face this traffic nightmare,” says Knowles. “The residents have no representation [elected officials] with the city of Greenwood. And, the county, which is where Carefree residents live, has no jurisdiction along this particular stretch of roadway since it belongs to the city of Greenwood.”

This situation happens when areas along borders of cities and towns are annexed and commercial development follows the annexation. Residents not living in the city or within the city or town limits do not have the resources or voice that city residents would have.

Knowles said her understanding is that these plans are already in motion, leaving little time or opportunity to make their appeal.

“The best-case scenario for these residents would have been to become involved with the entire planning process with the city of Greenwood and the plans with Walmart so they could try to help their situation,” says Knowles. “But not many people do this.”

A local group, White River Citizens United, organized a large effort in the past to stop construction of a Walmart along State Road 135 at Olive Branch Road. They organized homeowners’ associations and asked for donations, hiring an attorney to help them fight. “It was nothing against Walmart,” says

Knowles. “It was to stop a bad planning idea that would have been in the city of Greenwood, yet we would be the ones to deal with all the increased traffic.”

“Because this deal on Smith Valley is already done, it’s going to be very difficult now for Carefree residents to do anything about it,” says Knowles. “As I understand it, there were already traffic studies done, so they knew what road improvements would be needed for the additional traffic.

But, again, the residents could have become involved and perhaps offered up

their own traffic study or done research themselves so they might offer the idea of the roundabout.”

Knowles suggests residents speak with an attorney about how roadway planning would help or at the very least speak with the Greenwood City Council members.

However, she is uncertain as to how much success residents will have with an attorney now that roadway planning is final.

“This road is in the city limits as I said, so there is someone that will be representing this area. The residents in Carefree don’t live in the city limits, but they should be heard by these elected officials,” says Knowles.

KEEPING THOSE HEALTHY 2014 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS Writer / Dr. Scott Bormann

The holiday parties are over, and your New Year’s resolutions are still fresh in your mind. Many of us make goals to improve our health in the new year — quitting smoking and losing weight are usually among the most popular resolutions. Small changes in your habits can make noticeable differences within just a few weeks.

to quit. This cuts out smoke breaks and keeps you honest. If you’re the only smoker in your group, consider using Indiana’s Tobacco Quit Line: 1-800-QUIT-NOW. This gives you support when the urge to smoke hits. In terms of over-the-counter aids, I believe that nicotine patches work better than gum, but it depends on the person. I don’t recommend electronic cigarettes because they are not well-studied at this point. Some people have good results using e-cigarettes, but we really don’t know their long-term effects.

When it comes to making a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, recognize that it’s going to take time and will require changes to both If you keep your goals close by, realistic and obtainable, you will be diet and exercise — but mostly to what you eat. Many people set their surprised by how big of a change you will see when you look back at expectations too high and too far in the distance. Losing 50 pounds a 2014 a year from now. year is not a bad goal, but thinking about it as losing a pound a week will make you more likely to succeed. Meeting short-term goal after shortDr. Scott Bormann practices at IU Health Family Medicine South term goal helps you feel motivated because you can see the progress. at the IU Health Methodist Medical Plaza. He can be contacted at It’s important to keep smoking goals realistic too. If you smoke more than a pack a day, you might be able to quit, but it may help to start out by cutting down to one pack per day. For people who smoke one pack a day or less, I suggest they try going cold turkey or using a nicotine replacement product.

Choose realistic diet and exercise routines. I don’t recommend any fad diets because a change in lifestyle is what is often needed to keep the weight off. The only “diet” I do recommend is Weight Watchers because it teaches you how to control portion size and gives you a better idea about how to make healthy food choices. I don’t recommend a carbohydrate-free diet, but often carbohydrates are our waists’ biggest enemy and the first place we can start with dietary changes. Never make a carbohydrate (rice, pasta, potatoes) the main portion of a meal; focus instead on small portion sizes and cut out all sugary beverages and alcohol. If you’re not sure about portion size or what to eat, I tell my patients to check out the American Heart Association’s nutrition guide on heart.org at bit.ly/NutritionGuideHeart.

When choosing an exercise routine, be sure it’s something that fits your lifestyle. Don’t pick something so strenuous that you’re going to burn out — incorporate fun activities that challenge you while burning calories. I’ve noticed more of my patients using exercise program videos like P90X and Insanity. A challenging exercise is great, but work your way up; don’t injure yourself on a high-level workout when you’re starting out. And remember: Weight loss is heavily dependent on what you eat, so it’s very difficult to exercise all the weight away without considering diet too.

When it comes to keeping that resolution to quit smoking, remember that it is easier to kick the habit with support. If your significant other or co-workers smoke, it will be helpful if they join you in your effort 36 / CENTER GROVE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / FEBRUARY 2014 / atCenterGrove.com

ROY NICOLOFF DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY Writer / Kara Reibel

Roy Nicoloff tried to enlist while still in high school, but the recruiter told him he didn’t weigh enough at 123 pounds and to come back after he’d bulked up. Nicoloff was drafted in August 1943, after high school, and decided to join the Marines. A month later, he did his basic training in San Diego and was later sent to machine gun training school at Camp Elliott in California.

Okinawa was next on Nicoloff ’s Pacific tour of duty. His unit stayed on ships performing a “fake” invasion on the south end of the island. Their unmanned decoy boats loaded with rockets were fired upon by the Japanese and exploded. The Marines (and Navy) were under constant attack from kamikaze pilots. Their unit had more casualties than the other two divisions that landed ashore.

Nicoloff’s final experience in the Pacific was walking through Nagasaki on Sept. 18, 1945, after the second Nicoloff ’s first brush with death occurred while “Roy is a Marine’s Marine... atomic bomb had been dropped on Aug. 9. He boarding a Higgins boat near the Mariana He represents the best of the walked through eight inches of ash in some Islands. After 10 days of shelling the island, ‘Greatest Generation’ with his places, unbeknownst to him the lingering it was time to go ashore on Saipan. While he radioactive fallout still in the air.

A guy on the Higgins boat U.S. on Dec. 5. The journey was not without wedged his rifle between the boat and the ship to prevent Nicoloff incident, having sailed through a typhoon en route. He was finally from being crushed. He fell into the boat with a thud. back on U.S. soil on Dec. 23, 1945, in San Diego.

Another brush with death came just prior to leaving Saipan when a sniper’s bullet hit Nicoloff ’s helmet, grazing his head. It was bleeding profusely, but the medic said it was just a scratch. Nicoloff also fought on Tinian Island, where he had a bullet fragment lodged in his shoulder. He turned down the opportunity to fill out an application for a Purple Heart, out of concern his mother would think he was seriously wounded. “Roy is a Marine’s Marine,” says friend Duane Hodgin. “He represents the best of the ‘Greatest Generation’ with his selfless service and patriotic devotion to his country.”

Nicoloff joined the reserves and was called up to active duty five years later for the Korean War. He was one of the lucky ones, due to being in the right place at the right time; Nicoloff spent the war at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, where he was in charge of the convoys. Coincidentally, Nicoloff and about 25 other men were selected to be in the movie “Flying Leathernecks,” starring John Wayne and Robert Ryan. “You can’t tell who any of us were, but we know we were there,” says Nicoloff.

Between WWII and Korea, Nicoloff worked in Indianapolis, and it was here that he returned after the Korean War. Having graduated from Tech High School in 1943 where he had printing experience from working on the school newspaper, “The Cannon,” he worked for a printing company that printed the menus for the Ayers Tea Room, among other things. After his military career, Nicoloff worked for the then “Indianapolis Times,” the “Star,” WIBC and finally for a car dealership for 20 years selling Oldsmobiles.

Nicoloff and his wife have five kids, eight grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren in Greenwood and are happy to have all of their family nearby. Roy Nicoloff ’s story is one of 84 stories central Indiana WWII veterans shared in the book “WWII: Duty, Honor, Country” by Steve Hardwick and Duane Hodgin. The book is available at BarnesandNoble.com.

Sleep Evaluation

A comprehensive sleep evaluation includes not only the attended sleep study at the Indiana Sleep Center, but also a clinical evaluation by your personal physician. Often your doctor will request that one of our staff sleep specialists be involved on a consultative basis for your evaluation and treatment plan.

Insurance Most insurance plans cover sleep studies just as they would cover any outpatient diagnostic procedure, as long as, they are medically necessary and ordered by a physician.

Don’t let sleep disorders affect your life.

Every insurance policy differs from the next; therefore, we encourage patients to review their individual policies and determine if their plan provides coverage for outpatient sleep study procedures.

The Indiana Sleep Center offers a comprehensive sleep evaluation conducted by one of Indiana’s most experienced staff of physicians and technologists.
