The REPORTER Many residents of Sher- idan are aware that there is an effort underway to con- struct community entryway signs for Sheridan. One sign will be located on State Road 38 on the east side of town near the First Farmers Bank and Trust branch of- fice; the second sign will be along State Road 47 at the west edge of town. Both signs will announce to visi- tors that the community they are about to encounter is called Sheridan. Gloria DelGreco of the Purdue Extension Service office in Noblesville has been active in the Sheridan community with her Sheri- dan Coalition Committee, which, among other proj- ects, is seeking funding for these two signs by selling engraved bricks. Bricks will cost $125 for individu- als and $250 for businesses or organizations, and you can double that if you want a brick on both signs. The money raised by the sale of the bricks will be used to offset the cost of the signs. A total of about $20,000 needs to be raised to pay for the two signs, and while brick sale money is important, a portion of the ma- terials and labor needed will also come from grants and other donations. The Coalition hopes to have the signs completed by year’s end. The window of oppor- tunity for purchasing an en- graved brick is rapidly clos- ing, with a deadline of June 28. If you have considered purchasing a brick for your family, business, organiza- tion, or a loved one, the time to do it is now. Bricks can be purchased at the Town Hall during regular business hours.

Most cell phones now use 4G tech- nology. The Indianapolis metropolitan area has been chosen by the in- dustry as a place where 5G will be installed first. The question before the City of Fishers is this: Does the city encourage wireless companies to move into neighborhoods, and how should concerns from individual subdivisions be considered as the new technology is installed around the city? Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness presided over a work session Monday afternoon with the Board of Public Works and Safety, all about 5G. The board consists of the mayor and his two appointees, Jeff Lantz and Jason Meyer. City Attorney Chris Greisl gave the board a run- down on the machinations leading up to the legal land- scape of today. Bottom line, as the law stands now, re- quests to install 5G towers in Fishers neighborhoods will be decided by the Board of Works. Mayor Scott Fadness says the board could soon see 15 to 20 individual proposals from commercial provid- ers at every meeting in the near future. The question board members must decide is how to balance encour- aging Fishers as a place where the new technology is welcomed and the aesthetic concerns neighborhoods may have with the look and placement of 5G towers. For example, if a resident has a nice picture window that is blocked by the placement of a new 5G tower in the neighborhood, would that resident be able to ask the city to move the tower a few feet to preserve the view? One major difference between 4G and 5G wireless technology is the need for more towers with 5G. A 5G tower has a range of only 500 to 1,000 feet, meaning more towers are required. 4G towers cover a much wid- er geographical area. Fadness expects Verizon to have the most interest in installing 5G wireless networks in Fishers residen- tial areas. AT&T has already built a fiber optic network in most Fishers neighborhoods, but Verizon has not. A residential 5G network would allow Verizon to offer residential high-speed Internet and television service through a 5G network. The mayor said he has received comments from Fishers residents about the possible health risks at- tached to 5G wireless technology, but referred to a May 12 New York Times story that points out a Russian dis- information campaign on 5G health risks. The mayor also talked about that subject in a recent podcast inter- view with LarryInFishers. The wireless firms expect this new 5G network to be the technology of the future that should last for de- cades, so it is not expected to be usurped by new tech- nological advances in the foreseeable future, Fadness told fellow board members. The board reached no decision at the Monday dis- cussion. The mayor plans to invite technical experts to talk with board members at a future board work ses- sion, possibly in August. The REPORTER At 10:13 a.m. on Tues- day, the Hamilton Coun- ty 9-1-1 Communications Center received a phone call from an individual report- ing he had been carjacked at gunpoint by an unknown as- sailant at the intersection of Minden Drive and Dorster Street.

The suspect was ini- tially a passenger in a black GMC full-size SUV, which followed the van as it fled the scene. The victim is a con- tracted delivery driver for Amazon.

I was born and raised right here in

Noblesville. I grew up in a home without

domestic violence or assault – it wasn’t

something I saw, or even heard about.

But when I was introduced to Prevail of

Central Indiana, I was shocked by the

number of individuals who are affected

by domestic violence. In 2018 alone,

Prevail helped more than 4,000 clients in

Hamilton County. (Nearly 80 percent of

clients are women and children.) Prevail

is strictly confidential, and since their

core values include integrity and respect,

they provide their services at no charge.

Domestic violence and abuse are hard

topics to discuss, so you don’t often hear

about them. But at Tom Wood Volkswagen

in Noblesville, we’re breaking the taboo

and raising awareness for Prevail, an

organization that helps families in

Hamilton County. – Mike Bragg, GM of

Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville

To help Hamilton County families affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse, you can donate the following items: • Art supplies (for children to journal and

express their emotions)

• Bottled water (8 oz. bottles, preferably)

• Individually packaged snacks

• Gas cards (many women have no access

to funds after fleeing their abuser)

You can drop off items at Tom Wood

Volkswagen in Noblesville, located at

14701 Tom Wood Way. You can also donate

directly to Prevail of Central Indiana by

visiting Prevailinc.org.

Carmel nonprofit invitesyou to support seniors during 65-hour online giving event

SubmittedThe senior population

is rapidly increasing, yet, the pace of government and philanthropic support for seniors is not. Often times, public funding for services and programs that benefit seniors is the first to receive funding cuts.

PrimeLife Enrichment’s services and programs are in high demand with the growing senior population, and it relies heavily on the generous support of the Hamilton County commu-nity to continue to provide these programs and ser-vices that empower seniors to remain independent and to age with dignity.

From July 9 to 11, PrimeLife Enrichment is participating in the fourth annual GIVE65 Event, a 65-hour online giving event to help nonprofit organiza-tions serving seniors raise funds online and increase awareness. Senior-focused nonprofits from across the United States are participating.

This year, PrimeLife is raising funds for iis new Depression and Dementia initiative, kicking off this fall with “Arts & Demen-tia” Memory Cafés at the Enrichment Center. These Memory Cafés will fea-ture art-related therapeutic activities intended to help senior dementia patients and their caregivers stay connected with others with the goal of helping them avoid or overcome feelings of depression and social isolation.

During the GIVE65 Event, PrimeLife is also raising funds with the hopes of receiving up to $5,000 in matching funds from the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation®. This allows gifts from the

public the chance to have twice the impact.

“GIVE65 allows us to help seniors in our commu-nity while raising aware-ness of the critical need for the programs and services that so many rely on,” said PrimeLife Enrichment Executive Director Linda Handy.

The 65-hour GIVE65 Event begins at 8 a.m. on July 9 and concludes at 1 a.m. on July 12. This event is an initiative of the Home Instead Senior Care Foun-dation® and the nation’s first and only crowd-fund-raising platform focused on helping nonprofit organi-zations across the country raise funds for programs and services benefiting se-niors.

“Every gift makes a difference in the life of a senior on the local level,” said Home Instead Senior Care Foundation Execu-tive Director Lenli Corbett. “We’re excited to partner with PrimeLife Enrich-ment for the fourth annual GIVE65 Event, and we are hopeful our partnership will inspire greater chari-table giving in support of seniors who rely on the nonprofit sector to age with independence and dignity.”

To learn more about GIVE65, visit GIVe65.org. All donations are 100 percent tax deductible in the United States. For more information about PrimeLife enrichment, visit primelifeenrichment.org or call 317-815-7000.

The Prime-Life Enrichment Center, lo-cated at 1078 3rd Ave. SW in Carmel, is the hub of its services, programs and ac-tivities. Featuring an indoor pool and walking track, and focusing on wellness, life-long learning and peer in-teraction, the Center offers exercise programs, danc-ing, computer instruction, art and other classes, games and social events, seminars, daily lunch, health screen-ings and more for seniors in Hamilton and contiguous counties. Group activities and classes focus not only on the physical well-being of seniors but also help them connect with oth-er seniors thus reducing feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

People who have a desire to help less fortunate, vulnerable seniors can visit GIVe65.org to share a secure, on-line donation in support of the featured nonprofit

they choose. By combining technology and generosity, GIVE65 inspires greater charitable giving in sup-port of seniors and those who care for them. Visit GIVe65.org to learn more.

County’s top Democrat says Swift is “one-sided”

Dear Editor:Once again, I have to object to the

one-sided article by Fred swift without a title over the article stating it is an opin-ion and not a news article. Fred seems to write these every once in a while without providing a full factual story.

He states “it would be helpful to elect a local resident to the position” in ref-erence to the upcoming election for our Congressional district.

But all the names are Republican.Now, Fred knows that Democrats

live in Hamilton County and he fully

knows that Ms. Dee Thornton has an-nounced she is running for this seat. Dee happens to live in Carmel, and last time I looked it was still part of Hamilton County.

Then, Fred also left out a very im-portant fact: Joe Donnelly actually car-ried the 5th District in 2018 so this dis-trict is very much in play and very well may – actually I think will – be won by a Democrat.

Joe WeingartenHamilton County DemocraticParty Chairman

Thornton supporter confident a Democrat will win the 5th District

Dear Editor:In response to Fred swift’s article

on Representative Brooks’ retirement, we too believe that “there will be no shortage of candidates” to replace her. However, we disagree that this candidate must be a Republican.

The political climate in Hamilton County is thankfully changing and be-coming more progressive, tolerant and inclusive. Having enthusiastically sup-ported Dee Thornton’s campaign in 2018, “Team Dee” is even more confi-dent, excited and prepared to help Dee become the next Representative for the 5th District.

As a longtime resident of Hamilton County, Dee will serve the county and the district well. She will listen to the people she represents, communicate through town hall discussions, and stay involved in her community.

We are excited that she has decided to run again for this important office and hope you will join us as she launches her campaign on July 15. Speaking for the many Democrats in Hamilton County ... Game ON! deeThorntonForCongress.com

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (EFSP). These funds are to supplement emergency food and shelter programs within Marion County.

The Board was charged by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-needs areas around the country. It is a needs-based program and not meant for disaster relief.

The Local Board in Hamilton County, which is made up of government, non-profit, and faith-based partners, will determine how to allocate and distribute these funds in the area based on community needs.

Qualifying agencies that have the capacity to effectively adhere to the rigorous federal guidelines and to expend funds in a timely manner are encouraged to apply.

Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Karen Rice at [email protected] or (317) 921-1239 for an application. The deadline for applying is July 6th, 2019. RL2418 6/26/2019

TODAY’S BIBLE READINGAnd they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

By RICHIE HALLHazel Dell Elementary School has itself

another baseball field.A new junior varsity field has been

constructed right next to Don Dunker Field.The JV field, a turf facility, saw its firstaction last week when games from a tourna-ment hosted by Bullpen Tournaments wereplayed. The new field is a partnershipbetween Noblesville Schools and Bullpen.

Dr. David Mundy, Associate Superinten-dent of Noblesville Schools, is pleased withthe new field, construction of which had towait out a couple months of rainy weather.The field was to have opened in April, butfinally got to see its first action in early June.

"So we were a couple months delayed,but obviously we can't control MotherNature," said Mundy.

The Bullpen tournament played on thenew field was in collaboration with GrandPark, another partner in the new field. Yetmore rain fell during the week, but Mundysaid that allowed everyone to see howaffected the field would be. And it turnedout to be fine: A storm passed through, butplayers were able to get back on the field 20to 25 minutes after the rain ended, and thefield was playable.

"It drained perfectly," said Mundy.The new JV field is located on the old

Noblesville High School varsity soccerfield, so a drainage system was already inplace.

"Due to the fact there were old drainagetiles, we were able to utilize those," saidMundy. Crider and Crider, a constructioncompany, also assisted with the project,helping to develop a system that allows forvery quick drainage of the turf field. Mundynoted there was a small water retention areanext to the field, and the water ran right intothe area.

Once next year's high school springsports season rolls around, the Millers willhave priority over the field. That includesjunior varsity games. Mundy noted thatNoblesville was the only baseball programin the Hoosier Crossroads Conference thatdidn't have two baseball fields, so having thenew field will help out with scheduling JV

and freshman games. Mundy also said thatThe Dunk will remain the varsity field - "Wehave no intention of not utilizing the Dunkas the varsity field," he said.

Marnie Cooke, Director of Marketingand Communications at NoblesvilleSchools, said the construction of the new JVdiamond has been important to the develop-ment of the Millers' baseball student-athletesand the overall baseball program.

"In the past we had over 50 athletes

across three Miller baseball teams share onediamond and that has been a challenge foryears, sometimes even causing practices andgames to be canceled due to lack of space,"said Cooke. "This new facility allows spacewe need, including maximizing coachingstaff and collaboration between the individ-ual teams."

"It’s also important to note that noreferendum dollars were used for the projectand we were able to secure a

significant discount," said Cooke.Mundy, who was the JV baseball coach

for Noblesville when The Dunk opened in1996, said that the Millers program is "veryfortunate and blessed due to this partnershipwith Bullpen," and also appreciated theefforts of Noblesville Schools Superinten-dent, Dr. Beth Nidermeyer and the Nobles-ville School Board of getting the new fieldopened.

New junior varsity field debuts at Hazel Dell

Reporter photo by Perry Williams

The new turf junior varsity field at Hazel Dell Elementary School in Noblesville saw its first games last week. The new fieldgives more space to the Millers baseball program, especially for the JV and freshman teams.

Due to the recent change in the Tourna-ment Success Factor point system, anupdated version of the 2019 and 2020 foot-ball state tournament assignments in Classes6A and 5A was approved Friday by theIHSAA Executive Committee.

The modification to the TournamentSuccess Factor at its April 29 meetinglowered the number of points needed (fromthree points to two points) by a schoolalready playing in a higher classification tocontinue playing in that same class foranother two years. Schools that win aregional championship in a single season ora sectional championship in back-to-backseasons would remain in that same higherclass. The rule previously had required threepoints (two sectional titles and a regionaltitle) to continue in that class.

With that rule change, both Fort WayneSnider and Cathedral each accumulated twopoints over the last two seasons, enough toremain in Class 6A and 5A, respectively.The sectional assignment announcementreleased on April 29 had Snider in Class 5A,

Sectional 11 and Cathedral in Class 4A,Sectional 22, the same day the new tourna-ment success factor rule was changed.Snider has now been assigned to 6A, Sec-tional 3, while Cathedral will be in 5A,Sectional 13.

That rule change coupled with ElkhartCentral and Elkhart Memorial consolidatingto form a new and larger Elkhart HighSchool which will compete in 6A in 2020,affects several teams from one year to thenext. One of those is Zionsville, which willcompete in 6A, Sectional 5 in 2019 but 5A,Sectional 12 in 2020. Previously, Valparaisohad been that school which would split timebetween classes but will now spend bothyears in 5A, Sectional 9. Another is Carmelwhich will compete in Sectional 4 in 2019but Sectional 5 in 2020. Noblesville will bemoved from Sectional 3 in 2019 to Sectional4 in 2020.
