Hamilton County (HSHC) launched its Building a Brighter Future for Hamil-ton County & Hoosier An-imals Capital Campaign in November 2018.

On Wednesday, the or-ganization, along with local dignitaries, broke ground on the state-of-the-art 40,000 square-foot facility in Fish-ers. The new facility will al-low the organization to save more lives, expand com-munity outreach programs

and provide a happier and healthier life for the animals of Hamilton County.

In attendance were Hamilton County public officials, HSHC staff, board members, lead volunteers, corporate sponsors, and key supporters and donors who have contributed to the cap-ital campaign.

Remarks were made by Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heir-brandt, a Meyer Najem rep-resentative, HSHC Board

Chair Kim Ebert, HSHC President and CEO Rebec-ca Stevens, Hamilton Coun-ty Council President Rick McKinney, Fishers Council President Cecilia Coble, and Steve Cage, the donor for whom the new facility will be named.

“Building this brighter future for the animals has been a decade-long, la-bor of love,” said Stevens. “Watching it all unfold is surreal, and literally, a dream come true."

The Humane Society for

Hamilton County is on track to move into the world class facility designed by Curran Architecture and built by Meyer Najem in the Spring of 2021. HSHC is currently at $12.5 million in cash and pledges toward the $14 mil-lion campaign goal to cover the cost of construction and establish an operating en-dowment.

The REPORTERNoblesville Mayor

Chris Jensen announced Thursday the four grand marshals of this year’s Fourth of July Stars & Stripes Forever Parade sponsored by Gaylor Elec-tric. The theme “Frontline Heroes” includes a person representing Noblesville Schools, Riverview Health and the city’s police and fire departments to honor and thank all of the front-line workers in the city.

“Despite the hardships and health risks, essential frontline workers contin-ued to do their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. I want to recognize these hardworking heroes that cared for those most vul-nerable and kept our city safe,” said Jensen. “Inde-pendence Day is a time we can celebrate the freedoms, history and perseverance of our nation. It also serves as a great time to thank those in our community who continue to make it strong.”

The four 2020 parade grand marshals include:

Noblesville Schools Jill Maynard

Maynard, a second to fifth grade special ed-ucation resource teacher at Noble Crossing Ele-mentary, was named the 2020 Noblesville Schools Teacher of the Year at the

overall district level and the elementary level. Her primary role is supporting students' social and emo-tional development while helping them achieve aca-demic success. She recent-ly completed her seventh year of teaching at Noble Crossing. Prior to becom-ing a resource teacher Maynard taught third and fourth grade.

She also provides leadership on risk management and regulato-ry compliance.

Fun to drive. Easy to cover.

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.) 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)

Drop off items at Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville, 14701 Tom Wood Way.

All Atlas Cross Sport models come with a touchscreen infotainment display

with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Navigation is optional,

The REPORTERround room hold-

ings, Inc., the privately held company owning sev-eral businesses in the wire-less retail space and ancil-lary markets, announced this week it is relocating its Carmel corporate head-quarters to Fishers.

The company acquired the former Roche cam-pus building at the cor-ner of Interstate 69 and 106th Street, and will renovate the two-story, 190,000-square-foot prop-

erty before moving in by the first quarter of 2021. Round Room will occupy 120,000 square feet of the owner-occupied proper-ty with plans to lease the remainder of the develop-ment to tenants. Advisors to the transaction included KSM Location Advisors, Cushman & Wakefield, Weybright Management, Inc. and more.

Round Room’s flagship company TCC, the na-tion’s largest Verizon Au-thorized Retailer operates

nearly 900 Verizon loca-tions in 39 states, including 79 in Indiana. The move enables Round Room to consolidate more than 200 employees from its portfo-lio of companies, including TCC, TCC Gives, Round Room Gives, Redux and Culture of Good, under one roof. The company’s Con-necticut-based office, and home of Wireless Zone, the nation’s only Verizon Authorized Retailer oper-ating as a franchise, will remain open.

“Moving our headquar-ters to Fishers enables us to attract and retain top talent from across the Hoosier state, accommodate future growth plans for Round Room and its subsidiaries, and enhance our corporate culture,” said Round Room CEO Scott Moorehead. “As a family-owned busi-ness that has grown up in Indiana, we’re excited to continue to invest in local resources to support our home state. The City of Fishers has been a great partner in our decision to relocate, and we’re excit-ed to be a part of such a vibrant and entrepreneur-ial-minded business envi-ronment.”

Round Room’s new headquarters will include a state-of-the-art train-

ing center for up to 450 employees in its 40,000 square-foot common area as well as a full cafe, fit-ness center, social ameni-ties and more to enhance the way companies are using office space now. Round Room says it will make continued invest-ments to advance the prop-erty, working with local contractors and developers whenever possible.

“Scott and his team at Round Room have grown this company from the ground up in a true display of entrepreneurial spirit,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “Fishers is happy to be part of the next chapter for Round Room’s future growth and we welcome them to the Fishers commu-nity as part of the vibrant

I-69 business corridor.”Round Room is a Cul-

ture of Good Inc. com-pany that makes ongoing investments in the local communities where it oper-ates. TCC Gives, a private foundation of TCC oper-ated under Round Room Gives, provides grants to 501(c)(3) organizations across the nation and re-cently surpassed $2 million in donations to non-profits.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, TCC Gives donated $160,000 to 80 non-profits serving those most affected by the pan-demic. TCC Gives is con-tinuing to focus on emer-gent situations, dedicating $150,000 to non-profits focusing on social jus-tice across the nation this quarter.

If you’re in the sandwich gen-eration like me, there’s a strong chance you’re a woman either ap-proaching meno-pause or in the midst of it. As I’ve mentioned in this column be-fore, the average caregiver is a 49-year-old woman who works outside the home and provides up to 20 hours per week of unpaid care to her mother.

With the average age of menopause in the United States being 51, becoming knowledgeable about how to handle this challenging stage of life is crucial so you can feel your best to take care of both your family and your elderly relative(s). However, menopause is something that people just don’t talk about. I’d like to help change that.

When the black cohosh I’d been taking since last summer stopped helping my hot flashes in Febru-ary, I began to search for better solutions. My doctor recommended a low-dose antidepressant, which back-fired big-time as I shared in a previous column. So, I’ve been on a quest to find relief through other, natural ave-nues ever since.

The first thing I learned is the importance of wearing

layers. When a hot flash strikes, you need to be able to throw off that coat, jacket, cardigan, etc. and get down to a tank top pronto! I now probably own at least a dozen and can no longer sleep in regular

pajamas. I kept wearing a tank top to bed even in the winter.

The next thing I invest-ed in is a portable fan. Years ago, I laughed at these lit-tle suckers t h i n k i n g how silly they looked. Not any-one. I found a cute one at Aldi for $5 a few weeks ago that runs on two AA bat-teries. It has been AWE-SOME!

W h e n I’m sitting outside on a nice summer evening or in our recliner reading just before bed-time, I keep this fan nearby. Hot flashes typically like to strike in the evenings for most of us in menopause. As soon as the redness and warmth begin to creep up my chest and neck, I turn on

my trusty fan to bring some relief.

Speaking of fans, always keep one running near your bed at night. This has saved me countless times and helped with the annoying night sweats.

You may also want to work on ways to handle anxiety if you haven’t done so already. Many times hot flashes and anxiety go hand in hand. When I feel the anxiety starting, I rely on the “color” technique to quickly soothe myself. I simply look around the room and find

items that are all the same color to take my mind off of the situation. It’s a great distraction technique.

I’m still exper-i m e n t i n g with natural remedies to help reduce hot flash-es as well.

One program I’ve started has helped with my energy and mental clarity but not so much with hot flashes. I’ll continue to experiment (safely!) and keep you post-ed. Getting crazy menopause symptoms under control is a key to success for many of us in the sandwich generation.

Rosalyn Ann StuckeyApril 21, 1936 – June 24, 2020

Rosalyn Ann Stuckey, 84, Sheridan, passed away Wednesday morning, June 24, 2020 at Riverview Health in Noblesville.

Born April 21, 1936 in Boone County, she was the daughter of the late Frederick G. and Edna Lois (Ban-non) Shoemaker. She was a graduate of both Carmel High School and Ball State University. Growing up, Rosa-lyn was involved 4-H. Her dedication to the activity earned her the privilege

of being recognized as a 10-year member, an accomplish-ment that she was very proud of.

On January 8, 1961, Rosalyn married the love of her life, Francis “Gene” Stuckey, and set off on a lifelong jour-ney side by side with her best friend. For many decades, Rosalyn and Gene carefully tended to the orchards, loving-ly cared for the vegetable plots and watched over the store at Stuckey’s Farm Market, located near Sheridan on the Hamilton-Boone County line. It was hard work, but also a labor of love. Together they offered a much-needed and appreciated service to the community by providing fresh produce year after year. They also helped multiple gener-ations create wonderful memories of visiting the farm and sharing adventures with their families.

Rosalyn’s strength of faith and compassion for other people led her into mission work. She, along with Gene, loved to travel and to help where they were needed, com-pleting many mission trips throughout the 80s and 90s. She also served on the Board of Directors for Christian Service International (CSI) for many years.

Rosalyn attended Heartland Church.Family was a very important part of Rosalyn’s life;

nearly every activity was a family affair. Whether it was working at the farm, going on mission trips, or just travel-ing to see the kids and grandkids, family was always the driving force.

Rosalyn is survived by her two sons, Steven E. Stuck-ey (Diana), Sheridan, and Kent A. Stuckey (Laura), Bu-cyrus, Ohio; six grandchildren, Ben Stuckey (Meredith), Zach Stuckey (Kelsey) and Ethan Stuckey (Hannah), all of Bucyrus, Ohio, Alicia Stuckey, Westfield, Kristie Stuckey, Fairfax, Iowa, and Heather Correll (Travis), Kokomo; one great-grandson, Hayden Correll; three great-granddaugh-ters, Waylynn Stuckey, Mayla Stuckey and Ruby Stuckey; her sister-in-law, Eleanor Moffitt, Carmel; four nieces and one nephew.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Dwight M. Shoemaker; sister-in-law, Sandra Shoemaker; and by her loving husband and partner through life, Gene Stuckey, on March 27, 2018.

Private family services will be held at the funeral home on Monday afternoon, June 29, 2020.

Following the funeral, Rosalyn will be laid to rest at Mts. Runn Cemetery in rural Boone County. Friends and family are invited to gather at the graveside for the com-mittal service.

Pastor Bill Salsbery will be officiating.In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial con-

tributions be presented to either Heartland Ministries Church, 3611 State Road 19, Sharpsville, IN 46068, or to Christian Services International (CSI), 840 Daniel Drive, Kokomo, IN 46901.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Kercheval Fu-neral Home in Sheridan.

The REPORTERWhen a patient recovers

from COVID-19, they and their families may feel like celebrating, but what many people don’t realize is that the longer a patient is in ICU, the greater the chance they have of suffering from what is known as post-in-tensive care syndrome.

It’s not just patients who could have cognitive and mental health issues, it also

can affect their caregivers.Dr. Sophia Wang, as-

sistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Indiana Uni-versity School of Medicine, will discuss the cognitive, psychological and physi-cal impairments that those in the intensive care begin treated for COVID-19 could experience. Her talk is part of the Envision Lecture Se-ries hosted by CICOA Ag-ing & In-Home Solutions.

The webinar is open to the public and will be from 9 to 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 30. Click here to reg-ister.

CICOA is hosting the webinar to help caregivers, health leaders and the com-munity better understand the long-term cognitive and mental health effects COVID-19 can have on pa-tients and their caregivers.

Dr. Wang, who also is Outreach and Recruitment Core Leader at the Indi-ana Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, will also discuss the impact caregiv-ers can face both when the patient is in the hospital and after they return home and how younger people are impacted differently than older patients.

CICOA launched the Envision Lecture Series to bring to the forefront issues affecting seniors and people with disabilities.

John was a 1968 graduate of Marian High School and was a parishioner at Sacred Heart in Ci-cero after being a member of St. Thomas the Apostle in Elkhart for many years. He was a kind and loving man that will be greatly missed by those who were lucky enough to know him.

By RICHIE HALLA familiar coach is back in Hamilton

County, one with a remarkable record of success.

And he’s ready to bring some of that success to Larry Hobbs Hall.

Tod Windlan was hired as the new boys basketball head coach at Sheridan High School on Thursday. After the af-ternoon school board meeting, Windlan was introduced at a presentation at the SHS cafeteria, where he addressed the crowd, then met the returning basketball players and their families, one by one.

“I just think it’s a great opportunity for me,” said Windlan. “I’ve spent 16 years in girls basketball, coaching the biggest games you could coach, the Hall of Fame, the state final games, section-al, regional, semi-states. I think this is a time in my career where it’s time for the move to go to boys. I had a son that played, successful player, won a state championship at Carmel.”

Windlan’s son Karsten was part of the Greyhounds’ 2019 Class 4A state championship team.

“I’m just blessed to be here and have the opportunity to do it and I look for-ward to working with the feeder program and getting it done,” said Tod Windlan.

Six of Windlan’s 16 years in girls basketball were spent in Hamilton Coun-ty. First, Windlan coached the Hamilton Heights girls team for two seasons. In 2011-12, he guided the Huskies to a sec-tional championship and a 21-5 record. Then in 2012-13, Heights was the Class 3A state runner-up, finishing with a 23-3 record.

After one season at Warren Central, Windlan returned to coach the Carmel girls for four seasons, 2014-18. During that time, the Greyhounds were 87-20, won three sectional championships, the 2017 Hall of Fame Classic, and had the 2018 Miss Basketball in Amy Dilk, who is now a star for the University of Mich-igan.

“We wanted somebody that was lo-cal,” said Sheridan athletic director Beth DeVinney. “We wanted somebody that was committed to building a program, building a feeder program. Obvious-ly, Tod’s had great success everywhere he’s been. We want to win now. We want somebody to come in and infuse passion and some life into our boys basketball program, and that’s exactly what he’s going to do.”

Windlan noted that the whole hiring process happened rather quickly.

“Once the process started, it was re-ally swift,” said Windlan. “It was a late-night call, got in here the next morning. By that afternoon I was chosen. It was a very quick, swift process, but one that I am really looking forward to. Sheridan’s a sleeping giant in all sports, because I think Hamilton County’s growing this way. I think the school’s going to grow by enrollment. I think you’re going to see kids coming in here.”

The players that come out for Wind-lan’s team will need to be prepared to run. Windlan likes to play a fast tempo

with everyone running up and down the floor. Look for the scoreboard operator to be busy as well: In Windlan’s 2017-18 season at Carmel, the Greyhounds aver-aged 69.2 points per game.

“That’s just how I’m programmed,” said Windlan. “We may have to tweak some things based on what the kids can and can’t do. They’re going to be in shape, they’re going to play hard and we’re going to be a fun team to watch.

“They’re not used to playing that way based on some of the game film I’ve watched,” said Windlan. “It’s just all about changing the culture here and get-ting back to trying to create a program like the football team. It’s successful and

the kids want to come and play and be a part of it. That’s what we want here in basketball as well.”

Being a smaller school, Sheridan will have several multi-sport student-athletes on their teams, something that Windlan will encourage his players to continue.

“I think that’s wonderful, because anytime you get multi-sport kids playing, when they’re out of season, they’re still competing,” said Windlan. “And I don’t think there’s any substitute for compet-ing. Too many kids play one sport. They don’t play the other sports, so they’re re-ally not competing when they’re doing workouts and stuff like that. Competition breeds success. I want my kids playing.”

With activities at Indiana schools shutdown for a couple more weeks, the Sheridan players and their new coach won’t be able to get into the gym until July 6. Windlan said the first order of business is to get the middle school play-ers (grades 6-8) in the gym first, then the high school athletes will being their open gym. During that time, Windlan plans to “work on skill breakdown, fundamentals of the game, and then start teaching them our offensive and defensive scheme.”

“When the fall rolls around and we’re ready to start practicing for real, then they’ll have a good knowledge of what we’re going to be about,” said Windlan.
