The REPORTER Residents of Hamilton County can help extend broadband coverage to rural areas by downloading a new app created by the Na- tional Association of Counties (NACo), of which Hamilton County is a member. “Access to affordable, high-speed inter- net is essential to connect people and plac- es and compete in today’s economy,” says NACo Executive Director Matthew Chase. “This mobile app will help identify gaps in broadband coverage and help guide federal, state, and local decision-making.” “TestIT” (available for iOS and Android) allows mobile users to test their broadband speed from anywhere – helping to accurately identify areas with low or no internet con- nectivity. “Believe it or not, there are some plac- es in Hamilton County, even within the city limits, which are below the national average for broadband speed and some that are be- low the federal mini- mum standard,” said Kenton Ward, County Surveyor and a mem- ber of the NACo Board of Directors. “A lack of high-speed internet is hurting small business- es in rural America. It also limits students’ ability to get online and for sick patients to get medical consultation locally unavailable.” NACo says outdated broadband map- ping techniques limit Congress’ ability to accurately identify and fund broadband re- sources across much of America. “Our lives and futures have become in- extricably tied to technology,” “says George Kakasuleff, president of the Hamilton Coun- ty Farm Bureau. “Without access to high- speed internet, many of our rural communi- ties are becoming increasingly isolated and left behind. We need to do a better job of bridging the digital divide.” NACo has also partnered with the Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP) and Rural LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation) to fund the new mobile app. The REPORTER Beck’s Hybrids has an- nounced plans to expand pro- duction and processing opera- tions at the Atlanta headquarters with a $62 million investment in a new soybean processing facil- ity, seed drying equipment and warehouses that are expected to be complete by 2022. Since 1992, Beck’s has seen tremendous growth, dou- bling in size every 6.5 years. With new sales territories, new facility locations and new em- ployees, Beck’s has not only become the number one selling corn and soybean seed brand in Indiana but the third-largest corn and soybean brand in the United States. “As we continue to grow and expand, with a footprint now in 11 states, we are driven by the increasing demands of our cus- tomers who want more high per- forming products suited for their acres,” said Beck’s President Scott Beck. “This investment will allow us to more efficiently process additional units of qual- ity soybeans each year to help meet the needs of our current and future customers.” This expansion at Beck’s headquarters will double the processing capacity from three million to six million units per year over the next six years. The 221-by-300 foot facility will feature a seven-story, stand- alone processing tower, five new warehouses for seed and equipment storage, as well as office space. Starting in 2019, the company expects to hire 60 additional employees at this location. “Indiana is an easy state to do business in,” said Beck’s CEO Sonny Beck. “And because of that, we decided to build here in our home state. The foresight of the Indiana Economic Develop- ment Corporation (IEDC) and Hamilton County officials to upgrade the roadways near our plant will allow us to double the soybean capacity at our head- quarters, improve safety and decrease traffic congestion. Not only will this increase capacity and add jobs here in Indiana, but it will also allow us to better serve the needs of all our cus- tomers throughout our 11-state marketing area.” In order to support the sales and distribution of the addition- al soybean production, Beck’s will hire additional farmer deal- ers in Indiana and other states to support farmers throughout the Midwest.

Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony was held on Friday at the Tarkington Theater at The Center for the Performing Arts to remember victims of the Holocaust in conjunction with the National Days of Remembrance events.
There were perfor-mances by the Carmel United Methodist Church Bell Choir, the University School of Indiana Choir and the Actors Theatre of Indi-ana. Special Guest Speaker Esther Davidson provided the keynote. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard made an offi-cial Proclamation.
Holocaust remem-brance ceremonies are an opportunity to remember those who suffered in the horrific genocide that oc-
curred 80 years ago. It is also an opportunity to go beyond remembrance and make sure that new gen-erations know this history and apply the lessons of the Holocaust to today’s world, reasserting our com-
mitment to human rights. It is a chance to allow history to remind us that all people should enjoy protection and those rights that our country and our military work so hard to ensure every day.

Steven “Skip” Springer, 81, Noblesville, passed away on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at River-view Health in Noblesville. He was born on November 29, 1937 to Clyde and Evelyn (Harris) Springer in Indi-anapolis.
Steve was a 1956 graduate of Howe High School and studied sales and marketing at Purdue and Indiana Universities. He was a salesman for over 35 years for Elanco (Lilly), Dow
Elanco and J.F. Oakes. Steve was a devoted husband, fa-ther, father-in-law, grandfather, son, son-in-law, brother, uncle and friend. He shared an amazing life of over 60 years with his wife, Arlyne, enjoying family, traveling and making wonderful memories. Steve spent his days sup-porting his family and enjoying his time with his grand-children, going to and encouraging their various activities. He never knew a stranger and was always ready to lend a helping hand in any way he could.
Steve enjoyed coordinating and participating in lunch-es and reunions with high school friends, and regularly ushered at Noblesville First United Methodist Church, where he was a member. He was an amazing salesman and loved sharing stories. Steve had a gift of never hesitating to pick up the phone to reconnect with someone and/or plan a get together.

In lieu of flowers, gifts in Steve’s memory may be giv-en to your favorite charity.

“How lucky I am to have some-thing that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
– Winnie the PoohDear Readers: This is a “rerun”
of a column from one year ago, one on which several readers commented. The decision with which I was grap-pling is included at the end of the col-umn.
I hesitated to select this subject as I usually write about fitness and nutrition, but I do believe that my topic this week addresses an issue that may be both familiar to many and which can affect our peace of mind. I have always been a “decision maker” but must confess that I have wrestled with this decision for many years. I am also usually not a “keeper of things” so this item noted here is unusual in that respect as well.
As a teenager I lost both parents in an automobile ac-cident. I won’t spend time in this article discussing that in particular as it does not relate to the issue at hand. Those who know me or have read my column understand that this occurred many years ago.
However an item in my possession nearly 50 years is my mother’s purse. (Note: 2019 is the 50th anniversary.) It is not a designer purse, but is somewhat unique in that it is a hand-tooled leather purse which still holds objects which were there at the time she passed away. Now – I really do not intend to be maudlin about it, but I have kept it well protected and have always thought that someday I would like to actually use this purse for myself. Once in while (about every year this time) I take it out of its protective covering and give it a look, then I return it, saying “maybe next year.”
Let’s review the contents together: A blue wallet which still contains photos of my brother and of me, driver’s li-cense, insurance card, nail file, Sears credit card, grocery list, etc. My plan, if it ever comes to fruition, is to empty the purse of its contents, of course, and then have it pro-fessionally cleaned and refurbished. It is in good condition and will be attractive when that is done. Although I am not one who believes that objects can attach us to those we have lost, it is a lovely piece that I believe she would want me to use. Carrying her purse would be a tribute to her perhaps and enjoyable for me as well. *See final decision.
My purpose in writing about this is two-fold. First of all while not all of us are mothers, all of us have mothers or mother figures. Many of you, like me, no longer have that person in your life. It is mentally and emotionally healthy to pay tribute to her, to share stories with other family members, and enjoy what you do have in your hearts and your mind to remember her fondly. Secondly, momentos can play a part in that as well. Your mental and physical well-being are inextricably linked; so stay healthy, be well and cherish those who are here and the memories of those who are not.
Will I finally carry my mother’s purse? I haven’t yet decided! Happy Mother’s Day!
Sharon McMahon, CNWC, [email protected]*After much thought, consideration,and advice of a
very good friend I have decided to display the purse con-tents in a “memory box” then have the purse cleaned and refurbished and include in that a photo, a special poem, and a short letter from me (to any future generations!) tell-ing the reader some special memories I have of my mother. But first I plan to carry the purse – at least once!
My mother’s purse

Sandra J. Shoemaker June 2, 1938 – April 27, 2019
Sandra J. Shoemaker, 80, passed away peacefully at her home in Sheridan on Saturday, April 27, 2019. Born June 2, 1938 in Rensselear, Ind., she was the daughter of the late Howard Bridgeman and Louise (LaFavers) Bridge-man Baldwin. She was a 1956 graduate of Lebanon High School where she was very active in the choir.
For a short time, from 1956 to 1960, Sandy worked for Meridian Mutual Insurance Company. Sandy also be-longed to a group called Indiana Rural Youth. It was during these years that she would meet and fall in love with her future husband. On April 30, 1959 Sandy married the love of her life, Dwight M. Shoemaker. Together they worked the family farm and were supervisors for the Dairy Herd Improvement Association for over 40 years. Sandy was an avid reader and enjoyed going antiquing. She attended Lit-tle Eagle Creek Christian Church for many years.
Family was a very important part of Sandy’s life. She is survived by her two daughters, Anita Salyers (Jeff), Roach-dale, Ind., and Janice Lors (David), West Chicago, Ill. Tak-ing daytrips with her girls was one of her favorite activities. She is also survived by four grandchildren, Hillary Corbitt (Steven), Warsaw, Ind., Chase Salyers, Dayton, Ohio, and Cindy Lors, and Jenny Lors, both of West Chicago, Ill.; one sister, Janet Williams, Indianapolis; her aunt, Joan Pyl-es, Brownsburg; and her sister-in-law, Rosalyn Stuckey, Sheridan.

Obituary
Thousands of Hamilton Coun-ty motorists zip along 116th Street daily between the Geist area and Zi-onsville or points between. Most have little or no idea of the sites along this route that have contributed to the history and culture of Ham-ilton County.
For those who have an interest in such things, it is perhaps the most interesting 20-mile drive we have. For starters it’s 116th that geo-graphically divides Indiana between north and south. You may have thought that line was at U.S. 40, but not so.
Near the east end of 116th is Geist Reservoir, created in 1944 by the Indi-anapolis Water Company to provide Indy with a depend-able water reserve. Forty years later the shoreline was developed into one of the most upscale residential areas in the state. West of Geist, 116th is Main Street in Fishers which was a tiny community of 350 resi-dents until the 1970s when suburban development and
expansion of its borders made it the state’s fastest growing city with a population of more than 90,000 today.
Further west at White River is the site of Eller Bridge, a Civil
War era wooden structure that spanned the river un-til it was destroyed by fire in 1957. If one looks to the north of the road, a lower roadway can be seen going to the riverbank, and the site of the early covered bridge.
Just across White River the once-popular Northern Beach Park was located on the south side of the road. Its large swimming pool, shad-ed shelter house and play-grounds attracted families for generations. Developed in the 1920s, it gradually lost its luster in the 1960s and 70s, finally closing in the 80s. A senior living cen-ter is now located on a por-tion of the former park.
A mile or so further west is the Flowing Well, an ar-tesian well drilled 117 years ago by natural gas prospec-tors. Instead of gas, they hit water which has been
spouting to the surface ever since. Folks visit the well often to take jugs of the pure well water. With a modern wellhouse, a small city park dedicated to the pioneer families of the area now sur-rounds the Flowing Well.
Right across the road is the White Chapel Church. Built in 1853 for a Meth-odist congregation, it now functions as a non-denomi-national community church. Its adjoining cemetery holds the graves of some of the ar-ea’s early settlers.
A half mile west is the former Mattsville gener-al store. Mattsville, named for Matt Richardson, was what could be called ‘a wide place in the road’ where the store and a few homes were located before subdivisions overwhelmed the area. The store, at the junction of 116th and Haverstick Road, now a private residence, also housed a post office for several years prior to 1930.
Next comes Woodland Country Club at 116th and Keystone. It was created in 1951 by golf master Bill Diddel who lived in a log cabin which he had relocat-ed to the property. The cabin has been expanded by later
owners, and other modern homes were built bordering the popular golf course.
Another two or three miles west at the northeast corner of 116th and Clay Center Road is the site of the former Clay Center School. It was a classic rural elementary school with four classrooms and served the area from 1911 until 1956. It was torn down in the early 1960s.
In another mile, one finds Coxhall Gardens Park, formerly the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Cox who do-nated the 125-acre tract to the Hamilton County Parks Department in 1999. It fea-tures an amphitheater, twin carillons, walking trails, for-mal gardens, a lake and the impressive Cox mansion.
Finally, at the Boone County line, we find the geographic center of Indiana a few hundred feet northeast of the corner of 116th and Michigan Road.
All in all, this main artery across southern Hamilton County offers an interesting look at the transformation of an iconic country road to the busy suburban byway it is today, with so much local history in its wake.
After spend-ing a week with my two littlest g r a n d m u n c h -kins, I recognize that of the six grandmunchkins I have, Leah is perhaps the most like me.
She has inher-ited my inability to stay on track or stay focused. We both have a tendency to fol-low the squirrels.
Leah can be in the mid-dle of a conversation and proceed to do a backflip, and then rise up to start a whole new conversation. While there is no way I can do a backflip I have been known to change the direction of a conversa-tion. Sometimes I do it on purpose and sometimes, not so on purpose. I call it Squirrel Syndrome.
Leah’s expressions, at the age of six, speak vol-umes. Her eyes are a tell-all of what she is thinking. Her thoughts are let loose from her lips faster than her little brain can stop them. I understand it all too well. I have been the object of those thoughts.
We were leaving for her
gymnastics meet and I struggled to open the door leading to the ga-rage. Leah says to me, “Obvi-ously, Grandma, you have trouble opening doors.” I kid you not. She said OBVIOUS-
LY. I told her, “Obviously, I need coffee.”
After her gymnastics meet I suggested we cel-ebrate at the place of her choosing. I hoped it would not be Taco Bell or Mc-Donalds. She said, “How about the gas station?” Yes ... the gas station. Leah said, “Grandma, they have the best snacks.” So off we went to the Racetrack Gas Station.
Upon entering, I saw a wall of serve yourself yo-gurt/ice cream dispensers. It has to be what 6-year-olds dream about. They can then proceed to a smorgas-bord of topping delights. The cost is by weight. Who knew gummy bears weigh so much?
It was Wednesday, after school, when Leah got off the bus in tears. The kin-dergarten bully had made
Leah the object of her bul-lying on the bus. Now if you think that her moth-er did not go into Mama Bear mode, you are wrong. Emily began her interro-gation of Leah as to what transpired, all the while this Grandma Grizzly was fuming. I did not care about the facts I just knew some-one had made one of my littles cry.
Obviously, some little one had not been taught that part of what you learn in kindergarten is to be kind. Emily was able to calm down both Leah and me.
I later learned that the next day 8-year-old Aiden went into the office of the school safety patrol and ex-plained what happened on the bus. The administrator said it would be addressed.
Aiden is focused on what needs to be done. He has a game plan for every day. He is a rule follower. Aiden has his goals written on paper and taped to his bedroom wall. You never have to ask him twice to do a chore. Obviously, he did not inherit these things from me. He’s like an eagle whereas Leah and I are like squirrel chasers.
Whenever Leah choos-es an outfit we never know what it will be. While her mommy had her clothes laid out for every day, Leah did not always feel like wearing what her mommy had chosen. One day she came down stairs in high top tennis shoes, a skort and her soccer uniform top. I did not pick that as a battle to fight. I understood her freedom of expression.
I did question Leah when she put on shorts un-der her dress. She told me that it was a rule she had. Later I saw her doing cart-wheels and I understood the rule.
If you are chasing squir-rels and doing cartwheels you must wear shorts un-derneath your dress. If you have the choice of where you celebrate ... go to the gas station. When you deal with bullies, find your big brother who is eagleistic (a Janetism) and he will find a solution. These are rules that Leah lives by.
They are good rules that even a squirrel chaser can appreciate.
Obviously, she is her grandmother’s granddaugh-ter. Leah ... enjoy the chase!

Editor’s Note: The Sheridan Stu-dent Column is brought to read-ers by Sheridan High School’s 10th grade En-glish class, taught by Abby Williams.
There is no such thing as an assault rifle. Even though it is a commonly used term, it is incorrect both literally and grammat-ically.
“Assault rifle” is a me-dia term used to attract at-tention, and this incorrect term has been normalized for any tactical style rifle. The rhetoric coming from anti-gun government offi-cials and left-leaning media sources is too often flawed
and uneducated. More concerned with pushing their political agenda than gain-ing a thorough background on firearms and shooting practic-es, they have used the term “assault rifle” repeatedly
even though it is incorrect, for several reasons. The media and left-leaning gov-ernment officials are more concerned about generating fear and grabbing eyes to headlines rather than using proper terminology and giv-ing a proper analysis.
Assault is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictio-nary as “a verb or noun, to violently attack or a military
attack.”“Assault rifle” is a term
that makes no sense for “assault” is being used as an adjective. This term was generated by the media and adopted by anti-gun senators because the word assault itself gives off a negative connotation in general. In any context, as-sault is generally viewed as a negative thing, so when it is identified with tactical rifles it can mislead people and they will perceive it as a negative thing.
The term “assault rifle” is often used to describe rifles that have at least one of these features: An adjust-able stock, vertical fore grip, quad rails for mounting things such as flashlights and laser, a muzzle brake or compensator and even a bayonet mount. However, these rifles are classified as tactical rifles. They give users more versatility and practicality while operating their firearm.
Many will argue that tactical rifles are military ri-fles that were designed to be used against people. This, however, is a false assump-tion. First and foremost, a tactical rifle is not a military
grade firearm by any means. A tactical rifle was made for civilian use, not for military personnel. The M16 and M4 military rifles series is not available to the civilian public without a year-long background check, govern-ment clearance and hours of paperwork. Tactical ri-fles were invented to better aid the firearm operated on the range to be more ver-satile. Versatility does not equal lethality.
As a young, avid shooter, it upsets me to see the tools for a sport I love to be given such a negative connotation by the media and govern-ment, while the beneficial side of firearms is ignored entirely since it doesn't fit a political narrative. I have shot several tactical rifles of different variations and cali-bers, and none of them was ever used against another human being.
The term “assault rifle” is incorrect from a literal and grammatical stand-point. The term is a way to instill a negative connota-tion into tactical rifles for political and controversial reasons. It is used to prop-agate fear to an uneducated public.

Spartz named to 2019 Class of Emerging Leaders The REPORTER
Indiana State Sena-tor Victoria Spartz was recently selected for the GOPAC’s 2019 Class of Emerging Leaders.
GOPAC’s 2019 Class of Emerging Leaders is made up of promising leg-islators selected for their potential and ability to im-pact their state.
The Emerging Lead-ers program is a year-long initiative to coach and de-velop state legislators from across the country on how to be effective legislative leaders.
This year’s class will
begin their in-volvement at the ninth an-nual Emerging Leaders Sum-mit, which takes place from June 10 to June 12 in Charleston, S.C. The Summit gives participants the opportunity to learn from policy experts, veter-an lawmakers, communi-cations professionals and seasoned political strate-gists as well as each oth-er. These leaders return to their states better equipped to advance the ideas they
are champion-ing and prepare for the rigors of campaigning for higher office.
To be select-ed, an Emerging Leader must be nominated by a member of the organization’s
Legislative Leaders Advi-sory Board or a legislative leader in their state.
Senator Spartz was first appointed in 2017. Her district covers portions of Hamilton County. She is a native of Ukraine. She earned Bachelor’s and
Master’s degrees from the National University of Economics in Ukraine as well as a Master of Pro-fessional Accountancy from IU’s Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis. She is a businesswoman, farmer, CPA and adjunct faculty for IU’s Kelley School of Business in In-dianapolis. She previously worked as the CFO of the Indiana Attorney General’s Office. She is a member of the following committees: Education and Career De-velopment, Environmental Affairs, and Pensions and Labor.

OneZone issues statement on HSE school board voteSubmitted by MO MERHOFFOneZone President
Former governor Joe Kernan was ending his comments before over 100 business people at a state cham-ber luncheon on Indiana’s future. “One thing I hope you’ll remem-ber. I’m teaching some classes at my alma mater and let me tell you something about the next generation – they won’t tol-erate intolerance.” He got a standing ovation.
Fishers is a community that’s taken that seriously. The Stigma-free Fishers campaign brought together police, fire, school, commu-nity and health representa-tives, and together, they’re making a difference. Fish-ers has been on so many “best of’ lists, it’s almost expected. Fishers is a posi-tive, open, welcoming com-munity.
That’s why HSE schools’ recent vote on its discrimi-
nation policy is so baffling. Of course, inclusion is im-portant to students, parents, teachers and administrators. But it’s important to busi-ness too.
Human Capital has be-come the most crucial factor in economic de-velopment, and inclusion is a sig-nificant business issue. Business-es are looking for the best and the brightest and our communities have to send a
clear, consistent message about who we are – vibrant, entrepreneurial, open and accepting to all.
OneZone, representing over 1,400 business, felt strongly that it was time for Indiana to pass strong hate crimes legislation. For the same reasons, we agree with Mayor Fadness’ com-ments on the recent HSE School Board vote, and urge the board to reconsider their statement and include those most vulnerable. Let’s not leave any doubt about who we are.

The REPORTEROver 1,200 high stu-
dents and 56 teachers from throughout the nation par-ticipated in the 2019 We the People National Finals, and two local high schools earned Top 10 recognition.
Hamilton Southeastern High School’s team, taught by Janet Chandler, placed seventh nationally and Fish-ers High School's team, taught by Elizabeth Pater-noster, finished eighth.
Classes qualify for the
National Finals by placing first in their state competi-tion or through wild card availability.
During the National Fi-nals students participated in simulated congressional hearings. Students testify as constitutional experts before panels of judges acting as congressional committees scoring the groups through a performance-based as-sessment. Each class is divided into six groups based on the six units of the
We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution high school textbook.
Each hearing begins with a four-minute opening statement by students and is followed by a six-minute period of follow-up ques-tioning during which judg-es probe students' depth of knowledge, understanding and their ability to apply constitutional principles. The format provides stu-dents an excellent oppor-tunity to demonstrate their
knowledge and understand-ing of constitutional prin-ciples while providing the 72 judges with an excellent means of assessing students' knowledge and application to historical and current con-stitutional issues.
While in Washington, D.C., students had the op-portunity to explore our nation's capital, learn about government beyond the classroom walls, and meet with elected officials and other dignitaries.

wasn’t too happy with his baseball team’scurrent trend. Last Monday night, the hostNoblesville Millers responded and correctedcourse with a sound 14-2 victory in fiveinnings over rival Westfield.
Seniors Cade Nelis and Brady Waldencombined for seven RBI behind three hits,and junior Ethan Imel added two more RBI,hitting atop the Millers’ order, as Nobles-ville erupted for nine runs in the first inningto secure its second straight win.
“I was really disappointed in how weperformed in Game 1, and the guys cameout and played with some energy in Game2, and this one doesn’t count in the HCCstandings, but it’s good to get the win, putsome runs up,” Keever said.
The Millers lost their series openeragainst Westfield 3-2 at Grand Park onFriday before splitting with an 11-4 victoryon Saturday. During Monday’s series finale,which had no impact on the Hoosier Cross-roads Conference standings, the Millersdidn’t slow down at the friendly confines ofDunker Field.
Noblesville (11-8, 6-2) laced six hits,drove in 12 runs and led 10-0 after twoinnings, while Matt Peek and Ethan Leslielimited the Shamrocks (7-5, 5-3) to five hitsand two runs overall through five inningspitched.
Peek tossed three, five-hit frames, andLeslie pitched a near two innings of perfectrelief with three strikeouts.
“They just came in with the mindset tothrow strikes and pitch to contact. It workedout for them,” Imel said. “At the plate,we’re really sticking to our approaches andtrying to do damage in the count and justgrind it out and not let them beat us.”
Imel, the team’s starting catcher, did hispart for the HCC frontrunners, finishing thegame 2-for-2, including a pair of hits in thebottom of the first as the Millers sent 12batters to the plate.
Imel opened the game with a single toleft field and later drove in two runners witha ground-rule double and one out after theMillers loaded the bases three times in thefirst inning.
Westfield pitching walked 10 battersand hit three more overall to open the doorfor the surging Millers, who have racked up
25 runs in the past two games.“It was pretty embarrassing on the
mound to be honest. The last I checked wehad 10 walks, three hit batsmen and com-mitted five errors on top of that,” Sham-rocks coach Ryan Bunnell said. “Really noexcuses. We were just really, really badtonight, and whatever the reason is, we haveto figure that out because you can’t do that.”
The Millers discovered their offensebehind six hitters scattered throughout thelineup with at least one RBI each.
Nelis went 2-for-3 with three RBI. Hedrove in the Millers’ first run with a bases-loaded single in the first inning and drovein two more with a double in the bottom ofthe fourth.
Walden had an RBI walk in the third andan RBI single in the second after a bases-loaded fielder’s choice in the first.
“Last week we started out slow. I thinkwe had two hits against Franklin Central.We’ve been working a lot at practice,staying disciplined, getting pitches that we
can drive and it helped a lot,” Walden said.The Millers lost 5-1 to Franklin Central
on April 22, which they followed up with aloss to Westfield before turning the offensearound.
“We’ve been putting up some runs, butthey gave us a lot. They had a hard timethrowing strikes tonight and catching theball, but we’ll take it,” Keever said.
Noblesville drove in runs in everyinning and plated three runs in the bottomof the fourth to end the game by mercy rulein the top of the fifth.
Tyler Smitherman finished 1-for-3 withtwo RBI for Westfield with a two-rundouble in the top of the third, but theShamrocks had few answers against Peekand Leslie.
“We’re better than this, and we have tolearn to come with a consistent effort andperformance level,” Bunnell said. “Wecertainly didn’t do that tonight. It kind ofstarted on Saturday to be honest. Wejumped up three runs, and then we weren’t
really good on the mound on Saturdayeither.”
Noblesville turned a 3-0 deficit on Sat-urday into a 6-3 lead and eventual 11-3advantage to split the series.
“Ultimately, yeah, in the grand scheme(this game) doesn’t count in the conferencestandings, but we’ve got to compete andperform a lot better than we did tonight,”Bunnell said.
The Millers came out ready, compiledeight at-bats before the Shamrocks recordedtheir first out. Zach Gruver and Peek hadRBI in the first inning for Noblesville. TheShamrocks sent four pitchers to the moundto quiet the Millers, but Noblesville loadedthe bases eight times in the game.
“I thought we played really gooddefense tonight, and I thought Matt andEthan Leslie, who came early, threwstrikes,” Keever said. “(Westfield starterParker Bard) was struggling to find the zonea little bit, but Ethan kind of broke it openwith that bases-loaded double. He’s putsome great at-bats together for us tonight.We like him there (hitting No. 1) becausehe gets on base.”
Bard lasted 1.0 inning before gettingpulled with three walks surrendered, a hitbatter and two strikeouts.
“We lost one to Westfield in the firstgame, so we kind of used that as a realitycheck, kind of find who we are,” Waldensaid.
Noblesville won a thriller at DonDunker Field last Tuesday, scoring two runsin the eighth inning to beat Columbus North7-6.
The game was tied at 5-5 after theregulation seventh inning. The Bull Dogsscored one run in the top of the eighth, butthe Millers got the win when DJ Owensdoubled in Cole Barnes and Lucas Williams.
Noblesville scored all of its other runsin the first inning. Cooper Miles batted inCamden Nagel and Owens (who hit a dou-ble), then Nelis doubled home Miles. Nelisscored on a fielder's choice from ZachGruver, then Barnes' fielder's choice gotBrady Walden home.
Owens, Miles and Nelis all had two hits,Miles joined the other two in hitting adouble. Miles also pitched the eighth inning,which gave him the win. Jared Michaelthrew five strikeouts in relief.

"Credit to the kids," said Westfield coachRyan Bunnell. "They really came out andwere able to flush Monday." The Shamrockslost to Noblesville on that day, so it was asatisfying comeback win.
"A lot of guys, they crumble under that,and that takes them into a deep valley," saidBunnell. "But these guys, to their credit,
they've been great at practice. They've hadreally good practices this week. And we'rebattling weather and all that, and you don'tknow whether you're going to be in or outtill the end of the day. And there's just a lotof distractions this time of year. A lot ofcredit to them for coming out and havinggood practices this week and then puttingtogether a performance like today."
Dorton finished the game 3-for-4 at theplate, including a double, while Collins andPepiot each batted 2-for-3. Parker Bardpitched six innings for the win, striking outeight and allowing four hits. Eli Patchettfinished the game with a perfect seventhinning.
Westfield dropped the second game ofthe series with Zionsville on Friday, falling4-0 in a home game.
The Shamrocks had eight hits. Tammhad two doubles, with Anderson and Dortonalso getting two hits.
“We had a few opportunities, but justcouldn’t get the big hit," said Bunnell. "Wemade several mental mistakes thatcontributed to our lack of productiontonight. It’s frustrating, we’re still strugglingto find consistency. We’re making some ofthe same mistakes we made early in theseason still and that’s preventing us fromfinding consistency. We have to find a way
to eliminate those mistakes and becomeconsistent with our productivity or we aren’tgoing anywhere in the tournament. This
group has it in them, they just have to figureout how to be the same team every day.”

Malott finished the game with two hits.Fulton pitched five and a third innings,striking out five.
"No shame in losing to a good team andCass is really good," said Moffatt. "On theflip side I didn’t think we fought very hard.We have a couple of kids gone on a schoolbusiness trip and another that got hurttoday and only played a couple of innings,with that, it opens opportunities for otherguys. I would think that would create a lotof enthusiasm but for some reason we werejust flat."
Heights lost the second game of theseries on Wednesday, falling 10-0 in fiveinnings at the Kings' field. With the win,Cass claimed the Hoosier Conference EastDivision title.
The Huskies had five hits, with SamFulton going 2-for-2 and Alex Hewitthitting a third-inning double.
“Lewis Cass is a good solid veteranteam," said Moffatt. "They have a chanceto make a tournament run at season's end.They just don’t let you breathe, you can’trelax or they get you. They hit the ballthroughout their lineup."

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.
