Wednesday, September 23, 2015 TODAY’S WEATHER Vol. 2, No. 183 Sheridan, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield Sunny today, mostly clear tonight. HIGH: 81 LOW: 51 HAND provides more information about projects Dear Editor, Reporter photo by Richie Hall Work has been suspended on the demolition of the grain silos on the south side of Noblesville. The land, which also contains the North Central Co-op grain elevator, is a topic of conversation, as the Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development (HAND) and local developer Rocky Shanehsaz both have plans for the land. I wish to provide some additional information about our proposal to redevelop the grain elevator property in Noblesville and the historic school in Sheridan. HAND is a nonprofit community development corporation with a mission to improve lives and build community by providing home repairs to low income homeowners, partnering with neighborhoods, and providing housing solutions. Each of these projects align squarely with our mission, and provides significant public benefit. Let me start by saying no public funding is at risk with this venture, and that any funding we are seeking is conditional upon the project being successful. Our requests are reasonable, but they have never been considered by Hamilton County government. Heights school bus driver pleads not guilty in Monday morning crash A school bus driver for the Hamilton Heights School Corporation is facing numerous charges after allegedly crashing a bus while driving under the influence Monday morning. According to the initial investigation by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, the Hamilton Shaw Heights bus was southbound on Leonard Road at 286th Street, east of State Road 19 near Atlanta, when the bus drove off the roadway at what investigators estimate was approximately 40 mph. The bus struck a guide wire to a utility pole then traveled along the edge of the roadway before returning to the pavement. The bus driver, identified as Janet Kay Shaw, 53, Arcadia, continued the bus route, picking up additional students along the way, and delivered the students to Hamilton Heights Middle School. Hamilton Heights Schools personnel were made aware of the incident when several students notified their parents by cell phone from the bus and those parents in turn notified school personnel. Ms. Shaw was immediately removed from the bus as it arrived at the school. Students were treated for headaches, minor aches and pains, and similar issues by school nurses and none of the students expressed a desire or need to leave school for the day. No serious injuries as a result of the crash were reported among the 21 middle school and high school students on the bus at the time of the crash. The bus itself sustained minor damage. According to the initial report, Shaw did not report the collision to law enforcement or school personnel and did not stop at the scene of the crash. The collision resulted in power lines down and a transformer mal- function causing a power outage in the area. Power in the area was restored on Monday. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office arrested Janet Shaw on several initial charges. Shaw made her first court appearance on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty. She is facing 18 charges in total. Shaw has been employed by the HHSC since 2001, but was immediately suspended after the incident. A statement on the HHSC Web site said that a recommendation for Shaw's termination will be presented at Thursday's school board meeting. Riverview Health remains penalty-free on readmission rates Paris Riverview Health is pleased to announce it is, once again, penalty-free on its 30-day readmission rates for serious health conditions, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). “We recognize achieving low readmission rates allows us to be in compliance with CMS standards, but more importantly, it’s a reflection of the ex- cellent care we’re providing our patients,” said John Paris, MD, chief medical officer at Riverview Health. “It takes a collaborative effort from everyone involved to ensure each of our patients receives the best care possible, not just in the hospital, but also once they return home. We’re certainly proud of our organization and all the staff members who make this achievement possible year after year.” The CMS hospital readmission rate evaluation is part of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program that started in 2012, which penalizes hospitals for excess readmissions. The program was designed to improve care and optimize the healthcare system. According to a recent report from Kaiser Health News, “The majority of the nation’s hospitals are being penalized by Medicare for having patients frequently return within a month of discharge—this time losing a combined $420 million, government records show. Since the fines began, national readmission rates have dropped, but roughly one of every five Medicare patients sent to the hospital ends up returning within a month.” News 2 Carmel Police Department receives bullet proof vest grant The Carmel Police Department has been awarded an $8,800 grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance as part of the Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant. This United States Department of Justice initiative was developed in 1999 for the purpose of partnering with local law enforcement units to provide resources for the purchase of protective body armor. Carmel Police Department has been awarded a grant every year since the program began. From 1999 to 2015, the department has received a total $81,359 toward the purchase of life-saving vests. “The receipt of federal funding for this necessary purchase demonstrates responsible financial management by City employees who take the time to research and apply for these types of grants,” said Mayor Jim Brainard. “The purchase of these life-saving vests is also an example of Carmel’s commitment to providing our public safety personnel with the tools and equipment they need to protect themselves as they provide security and safety to the citizens of our community.” Nationwide, the BVP program has provided $393 million to support the purchase of more than nearly 1.2 million vests by 13,000 police jurisdictions nationwide. Based on data collected and recorded by BJA staff, in FY 2012, protective vests were directly attributable to saving the lives of at least 33 law enforcement and corrections officers, in 20 different states, an increase 13.7% over FY 2011. The BVP Act of 2000 gives jurisdictions with fewer than 100,000 residents funding priority.

The grant money is used to buy new vests to replace older ones that are no longer under manufacturer’s warranty. Police Chief Tim Green said that, “Every Carmel Police Officer is issued a bullet-proof vest when they join the force. This great federal program helps us regularly replace the vests so that our officers will know they are well protected if they ever come under fire.” The bulletproof vests purchased by the Carmel Police Department cost $685 each. Bulletproof vests and other forms of body armor are continually being reviewed, examined and tested by the department’s Office of Justice Programs to ensure their efficacy against more powerful and higher caliber firearms. Riverview Health hosting join replacement seminar Oct. 20 Riverview Health will host a joint replacement seminar from 6-7 pm on Tuesday, October 20. Dr. Jeffrey Ginther, a board certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, will discuss the latest techniques and procedures for hip and knee replacement, including anterior hip replacement and Exactech Guided Personalized Surgery (GPS) for knee replacements. The joint replacement seminar will take place at Riverview Health in the Krieg DeVault Conference Room, located in the lower level of the Women’s Pavilion. A light dinner will be served. The program is free, but registration is required. Register at riverview.org/classes or call 317.776.7999. HAND Our proposal does not include Section 8 housing, not that I wish to see that program further degraded. Many disabled, seniors rely on Section 8 housing vouchers. In fact, there are only 337 vouchers available in all of Hamilton County. Our development is different and requires a longer conversation. We can't sit around and wait while the housing gap widens across Hamilton County. We know that over 5,000 current renter households struggle with their rent payments, and 3,500 new housing units are built every year at high prices most local employees can never afford. The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (“Section 42”) is our country’s best vehicle towards meeting this need (Visit our web-site for an explanation for how Section 8 and Section 42 are different – www.handincorporated.org). Our efforts follow the best practices of community development organizations across the country. Our proposal for the Elevator and Lofts at the Noblesville Granary satisfies the overall interests of the city with a mixture of uses, including commercial, and it does save some important, historic features. We feel our proposal is critically important and provides a really strong return on investment for Hamilton County, $20 in investments to match every $1 of local spending. From Page 1 Our proposal includes the redevelopment of blighted property, the addition of rooftops to downtown, the provision of quality affordable housing, and increased economic activity and space for entrepreneurs to work in the South West Quad of Noblesville. All entirely in line with the City of Noblesville’s Comprehensive Plan. We have one chance every year to submit for state funds to produce larger developments (like Spicewood Gardens). The State prioritizes adaptive reuse projects like the ones we propose, which is why Hamilton County rarely competes for these funds. In fact, Spicewood Gardens received the last competitive allocation in 2011. In the meantime, over 10,000 private market new housing units have been built. We are seeking 5% of the total development costs from local sources, and we have engaged the neighbors in extensive conversations to influence our design. To that end, we will host a public forum on September 30th at the Sheridan Library, and on October 1st at the Noblesville Trustee Community Center (both at 5pm). Sincerely, and open to conversation, Nate Lichti Executive Director Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development (HAND) Obituaries and News 3 Juanita I.

American Legion Walk/Run for Veterans coming to Indianapolis The American Legion has just announced that it will hold a “5K Walk/Run for Veterans” though historic Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis, Ind., Sunday, Oct. 11, 2015. Leading the Walk will be American Legion National Commander Dale Barnett, Department of Indiana Commander Larry Lowry, with words from Lawrence, Ind., Mayor Dean Jessup to begin the day. “The purpose of this Walk is to raise public awareness about the crucial issues facing America’s veterans and their families,” said Lowry. “An estimated 22 veterans a day commit suicide. Traumatic brain injuries have become a signature wound of the Global War on Terrorism and up to 20 percent of the men and women who served in Iraq or Afghanistan are believed to experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Veterans still have difficulty receiving health care in a timely manner and many have been waiting years to have their disability claims resolved. We owe it to those who served our country to never forget their sacrifice and devotion. We are running for those who marched for us.” Opening ceremonies will begin at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2015, with registration beginning at 8 a.m. Runners and walkers will step off at 10:15 a.m. The length of the walk is 3.11 miles or 5 kilometers and will start at the intersection of Oden and Lawton Loop, just north of 56th street wind through historic Fort Benjamin Harrison, and end at the same intersection. (See map above.) Parking is available at The American Legion, Department of Indiana, nearby at 5440 Herbert Lord Rd, Indianapolis, Ind., 46227. A portion of proceeds will be donated to Operation Comfort Warriors, an American Legion program dedicated to meeting the needs of wounded, injured or ill military personnel by providing them with comfort items not usually supplied by the government. The first 100 registrants for the “5K Walk/Run for Veterans” will receive a free t-shirt to wear during the community event. All are encouraged to wear yellow in support of our veterans and their families. Also participating in the walk will be Lawrence Mayor Dean Jessup, National American Legion Commander Dale Barnett, Indiana Legion Commander Larry Lowry, and other military and veterans. For more information about The American Legion 5K Run/Walk for Veterans or to register online, please visit: http://www.indianalegion.org/walk4vets.ht ml or call the American Legion, Department of Indiana at 317-630-1300.

An awesome wave; by Alt-J 5 Sports Sheridan is at Tri-Central By DON JELLISON Reporter Editor One opponent. Two games. A need to win both games. That has been the situation for Sheridan’s Blackhawks the last two seasons, Coach Bud Wright’s squad needing wins over Tri-Central to: 1, win the conference; 2, win the sectional. That did not happen and now Sheridan is faced with the same challenge this year, starting Friday at Tri-Central. That’s an East Division battle in the Hoosier Heartland Conference. The winner, likely, will win the East and battle the West champion for the conference crown in the 9th game of the season. Sheridan and Tri-Central, likely, will meet again in the sectional. “They’ve beaten us a total of four times the last two years,” Wright said. “Until then, Tri-Central had defeated us only three times in the history of the series. “They had a good group coming through the last two seasons and now this is the third (and final) year for that group,” Wright added. Counting a 5-0 record so far this season, Tri-Central in the last three years has a 29-3 record and has won two sectionals and a state championship. This season the Trojans have defeated Lapel 27-14, Taylor 34-0, Carroll 21-20, Tri-County 36-13 and Monroe Central 14-0. Sheridan is 2-3 overall and 2-0 in the East Division of the conference. Sheridan’s only common opponent with Tri-Central has been Carroll. The Blackhawks lost that game 26-19 Sheridan is coming off a huge 50-21 victory over Eastern. The Blackhawks, playing without leading rusher K.J. Acevedo and playing most of the game without quarterback Jake Chesney, rushed for 581 yards. Acevedo, nursing a concussion, won’t play this Friday. Wright said he isn’t sure how long the inured Chesney might play. He played only six plays last week. With Acevedo and Chesney sidelined, sophomore Joey Callahan carried 37 times for 333 yards and junior Kenny Burnell 19 times for 250 yards. It was Burnell first game, back from an injury. “Callahan said ‘give me the ball’ and we did,” Wright said. “This was Kenny’s (Burnell) first game. I knew he could play.” Wright changed both his offense and defense lineups last week. In the offensive line he moved Avery Bundy and Zach Reed from guard to tackle and Ian Pence and Tanner Swindle from tackle to guard. No matter who Wright plays where, Sheridan comes out with a young football team. He had just two seniors on the field last week. “Our defense gave up too many big plays,” said Wright, “but in our backfield we had two freshmen and two sophomores. “We’re playing better,” said the Hall of Fame coach. “We have some good young athletes who just need to experience some success.” Tri-Central still is a veteran team and, like Sheridan, the Trojans like to run the football. Senior quarterback Colten Leininger has passed for only 150 yards, but has rushed 67 times for 329 yards. Senior Dillon Smith has carried 86 times for 528 yards and sophomore Kyle Colbert has 519 yards in 70 attempts. Callahan has 527 yards in 98 carries; Chesney 465 yards in 52 trips, and Kenny Burnell 250 yards in his 19 attempts last week. “Tri-Central is a good team,” Wright said. “They are in their third year of glory.” Brian Reddick/File photo Sheridan’s Joey Callahan has carried the football 98 times for 527 yards so far this season. The Blackhawks take on Tri-Central on Friday in a big Hoosier Conference game. Sheridan Probable Lineups Offense TE, Alex Gipson, 265, Jr. RT, Tanner Swindle, 238, So.

Very few blowouts. Arguable, one of the hottest series has been between Fishers and Avon. The series resumes tonight at Reynolds Tiger Stadium in Fishers. Potts Since the series first started in 2006, Fishers has a 5-4 advantage. Avon defeated Fisher 36-26 last year. Two years ago Fishers edged Avon 26-25. Four of the nine games have been decided by a touchdown or less. Two of the battles were won in overtime, Fishers winning 41-38 in double overtime and 24-23 in overtime. The game this Friday, like most HCC contest, will go far in deciding the conference champion this fall. Fishers is 2-1 in the conference; Avon is 1-1. With only a seven-team conference, losing two games will be tough for any team hoping to win all the marbles. Fishers’ lone conference loss was to Hamilton Southeastern 39-33. The Tigers have defeated Noblesville 38-13 and Brownsburg 37-23. Overall, Fishers is 41. Avon in conference play has defeated Brownsburg 56-21 and lost to Southeastern 21-18. The OriBoswer oles are 3-2 overall. “The opposition only gets tougher with Avon this week,” predicted Fishers coach Rick Wimmer. “Avon quarterback (Brandon Peters) is the best I’ve seen in a very long time. He is certainly special with his accuracy and arm Fishers Probable Lineups Offense WR, DeVonte Adams, Jr., 175 WR, Kade Orris, Sr., 178 LT, Charlie Bernhardt, Jr., 225 LG, Titus Martin, Sr., 268 C, Chase Bowser, Sr., 251 RG, Gavin Laffoon, Sr., 216 RT, Luke Martin, So., 286 TE, Angelo Howze, Jr., 231 QB, Zach Eaton Sr., 198 FB, Mason Davis Jr. 180 TB, Jermaine Huddleston, Sr., 198 strength and they have one of the top athletes in the conference at receiver (Andrew Griffin). “Avon also runs the ball effectively and their defense has some quickness and is physical,” Wimmer added.

Fishers is coming off the 14-point victory over Brownsburg. “It was a great to get a win last week,” Wimmer said. “I thought our defense played well to hold Brownsburg to 23 points, limiting their big plays and keeping everything in front of us. “Our offensive line played extremely well as we rushed for over 250 yards. Zach Eaton was very efficient, passing for over 150 yards. “Taking care of the football and running the ball effectively were big goals going into the game Huddleston and I was pleased with what we did there. Our special teams were very good, highlighted by some outstanding punting from Taylor Soper and a great job by our coverage teams.” Wimmer added. Eaton is 45-of-81 slinging the pigskin, good for 723 yards Martin and six touchdowns He has been intercepted just once. Keyshawn Burrell is the leading receiver with 16 catches for 298 yards, followed by DeVonte Adams with 12 for 161 and Kade Orris with 8 catches for 141 yards. Wimmer has been pleased with the running of his tailbacks. Jeremy Chinn, who shares his offensive playing time with the defense, has carried 48 times for 278 yards; Jermaine Huddleston 35 times for 143 and Trevor Newman 28 for 199 yards. “The game will be another big challenge for us, as are all games in the HCC,” Wimmer concluded. 7 Sports Next up trip to Zionsville By DON JELLISON Reporter Editor Won-lost records can be misleading when matching up two high school football teams. Take Southeastern’s game this Friday at Zionsville, for example. The host Eagles are 3-2. Zionsville is a 5A team. The only 6A team the Eagles have faced has been Noblesville, a school which has defeated Zionsville only twice, May each coming the last two seasons including a 23-21 loss to the Millers last week. Southeastern is 4-1. HSE is a 6A school. Its only loss has been to Carmel, 28-7. The Royals have won four straight and three of those victories have been against Hoosier Crossroads Conference powers, Avon, Fishers and Westfield. Also, Southeastern defeated Zionsville 35-14 last year. Also, the last time Zionsville defeated Southeastern (14-7) was back in 2005. That was a season when HSE went 11-4 and lost to Warren Central in the state championship game. Get the picture, about matchups? Southeastern, at 3-0, is the only undefeated team in the HCC. But, just a step behind with one loss each are Fishers, Westfield and Avon. Ndah “Zionsville looks a lot like Westfield on film, with a spread offense but more of our own defense,” said Southeastern coach Scott May. “We have to travel to Zionsville and we have to continue to beat ranked teams to stay on top in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference Southeastern Probable Lineups Offense LT, Joe Myren, Jr., 250 G, Alex Woolridge, Sr., 230 C, Nick Sink, Jr., 285 G, Caleb Rutan, Jr., 300 RT, Sam Garvin, So., 255 TE, Matt Klink, Jr., 215 QB, Carter Poiry, Sr., 210 TB, Curtis Goss Sr., 210 FB, Aaron Matio, Sr., 210 WR, Greg Miller, Sr., 185 WR, Will Michaelis, Jr., 185 “This will be our fifth ranked team in six games,” May added. “It has been fun to see our team develop and find ways to win,” May continued. “This group works hard together and plays like a team “Going into Week 6 we really need to keep getting better on all parts of the game.

Southeastern broke a couple of records last week in the win over Westfield. Aaron Matio broke the school record for the longest pass play TD, 98 yards. Carter Poiry broke a school record by passing for 327 yards in one game. Poiry is having a sensational year. He is 80-of-132 slinging the football for 1,210 yards and 9 touchdowns. He has been intercepted just one time. Poiry has passed to Greg Miller 32 times for 498 yards and to Matio 19 times for 420 yards. Voskuhl “Greg Miller continues to make play at wide-receiver,” said May “We had 3 takeaways on defense and none on offense,” May said. “It was a great team win in a cool place to play (Lucas Oil Stadium). “It was a fun night for the team to get to Sink play down town. Better yet we played well on offense and defense. Most of our special teams need some extra work,” May added. Zionsville can hit an opponent through the air and on the ground. Quarterback Trevor Liechty has hit on 74-of-125 passes for 822 yards, 6 touchdowns and he has been intercepted 5 times. Eddie Mattingly has 27 catches for 299 yards.
