Fishers celebrated our veterans FridayBy LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

There were only a few empty seats for the Friday Veterans Day ceremony at Fishers City Hall. The Fish-ers Junior High School Choirs

performed. Those assembled were military veterans, as well as others in attendance to honor veterans of America’s Armed Forces.

Mayor Scott Fadness ex-pressed his gratitude to all that have served. He said

that the Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day city obser-vances are a way of show-ing the city’s “unwavering appreciation for all that they have done.”

El Ahlwardt was the Mas-ter of Ceremonies for the

Veterans Day event. Also in attendance were members of the Fishers City Council, State Senator Victoria Spartz, State Representative Todd Huston and Jordan Isaacs, representing Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly.

Massive response to HSE school

calendar surveyBy LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

After 13,500 online survey responses, the Hamilton South-eastern (HSE) School Board dis-cussed the school calendar Wednes-

day night but reached no decisions.Here are some takeaways from

the survey results, based on a pre-sentation by Director of Educa-tional Technology Jeff Harrison:

• 56 percent of those respond-ing prefer a longer summer with shorter breaks, as opposed to shorter summers and longer breaks during the school year.

• 65 percent preferred a three-day Thanksgiving break (Wednes-day, Thursday and Friday)

• A plurality of respondents (43 percent) disagreed with the state-ment that HSE should have a school calendar consistent with other Hamilton County School systems.

• Given four possible options for calendars, 33 percent voted to keep the current calendar, while 30 percent voted in favor of the current calendar with one import-ant change . . . a full week off for Thanksgiving.

The board discussed moving fall break forward one week at the quarter break so students would not have homework. But there are issues with the timing of teachers submitting grades.

The 2018-2019 school year calendar has not been approved by the board. School administra-tors will be holding discussions with the Hamilton Southeastern Education Association about the calendar. Superintendent Allen Bourff says he will provide the board with a recommendation for a school calendar for 2018-2019, and some future school years as well, in December.

The REPORTERMillions of Americans will

travel our nation’s highways this Thanksgiving holiday to visit family and friends. With more vehicles on the road, the chanc-es of being involved in a crash increase greatly.

The Hamilton County Traffic Safety Partnership, a consortium of local law enforcement agen-cies, is joining more than 230 local law-enforcement agencies across the state to spot viola-tions to Indiana’s seat belt and impaired driving laws. Through the weekend after Thanksgiving, expect to see an increase in ran-dom patrols, saturation patrols

and checkpoints. This overtime enforcement is supported with Na-tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) funds ad-ministered by the In-diana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI).

“Why are we ad-vertising this enforce-ment blitz? To give drivers and their passengers fair warning and to make our roads as safe as possible,” said Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen. “Our offi-cers live in the communities we serve and will be thankful this holiday if impaired-driving and

unbuckled deaths never strike again.”

It’s the law In every state, it is

illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concen-tration of .08 or higher. In Indiana, drivers under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to fines and a license sus-

pension for up to one year. Indiana has a primary seat-belt

law, meaning that police officers may ticket unrestrained drivers or passengers, even if no other traffic violation has taken place. In addi-tion, all passengers under age eight must be in an approved car seat or

booster seat. For more information about

impaired driving visit on.IN.gov/drivesober and for more informa-tion about seat belts visit on.IN.gov/buckleup.

Seat belt tips The ICJI and Purdue Universi-

ty Center for Road Safety estimate that about 93 percent of Hoosiers buckle up. The small number of drivers and passengers not wear-ing seat belts made up more than half of Indiana’s fatal crashes in 2016. Below are tips for proper seat-belt use:

• Secure the lap belt across

Buckle up, stay safe, stay sober this holiday season

your hips and pelvis, below your stomach.

• Place the shoulder belt across the middle of your chest and rib cage, away from your neck.

• Never put the shoulder belt behind your back or un-der an arm.

• If your seat belt doesn’t fit you, or you have an old-er car with lap belts only, ask your dealer or vehicle manufacturer about seat-belt adjusters, extenders or retrofits.

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading and increasing cause of death for children ages one to 13. Below are tips for properly selecting, installing and using child safety seats:

• Choose the right car seat for a child’s height and weight at safercar.gov/therightseat.

• Use a rear-facing in-fant or convertible seat un-til a child reaches the seat’s upper height or weight limit. Rear-facing harness straps should originate at or below the child’s shoulders. And never install a rear-facing seat in front of an active air bag.

• Once a child outgrows a rear-facing car seat, he or she is ready for a for-ward-facing car seat with harness. Always use the tether strap when install-ing a front-facing car seat. Front-facing harness straps should originate at or above the child’s shoulders.

• Tightly secure car seats

using either the seat belt or the lower anchors, but not both, and that they are threaded through the correct path. Make sure the straps are snug and free of twists and that the car seat doesn’t move more than one inch.

• Buckling your child correctly is just as important as installing the seat correct-ly. Seat belts and harness straps should be snug and free of twists. If you can pinch harness straps be-tween your fingers, the har-ness is not tight enough.

• To receive timely recall information, regis-ter your car seat with the manufacturer or using the form at nhtsa.gov/docu-ment/car-seat-registra-tion-form.

Sober driving tips Crashes involving at

least one alcohol-impaired driver resulted in 211 Hoo-sier deaths and nearly 2,100 injuries during 2016. And the Thanksgiving holiday is one of the deadliest times of year.

With all of today’s op-tions for getting home safe-ly, there’s no excuse for getting behind the wheel impaired as it endangers you and everyone else around you. Law enforcement rec-ommends these safe alterna-tives to impaired driving:

• Designate, or be, a so-ber driver.

• Use public transporta-tion.

• Call a cab or a ride-

sharing service. • Download the Saf-

erRide mobile app on the Android Play Store or the Apple iTunes Store. This simple app only has three options: call a taxi, call a friend, and identify your lo-cation for pickup.

• Celebrate at home or a place where you can stay until sober.

• Throwing a party? Of-fer non-alcoholic beverages and plenty of food.

• Never provide alcohol to minors.

• Ask young drivers about their plans.

• Friend or family mem-ber about to drive? Take the keys and make alternate ar-rangements.

Impaired driving is three times more common at night than during the day. If you see an impaired driver, turn off the road away from the vehicle and call 911. Signs of impaired driving include:

• Weaving, swerving, drifting, or straddling the center line

• Driving at a very slow speed

• Braking erratically• Making wide turns • Stopping without cause • Responding slowly to

traffic signals • Driving after dark with

headlights off • Almost striking an ob-

ject or vehicle • Driving on the wrong

side of the road • Turning abruptly or

illegally

Safetyfrom Page 1Donate cell phones at

next Colts home gameBy LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

There will be a large number of area Colts fans traveling toward Lucas Oil Stadium Nov. 12 to watch the home team take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fans are asked to bring along any used or un-used cell phones, which will be used for domestic violence victims.

The Verizon Wireless Hopeline program al-lows individuals to donate no-longer-used wireless

phones and accessories that directly benefit their local communities. Veri-zon turns these devices into support for local domes-tic violence organizations and programs.

Wireless phones and accessories – in any shape and from any carrier – can be donated on game day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. out-side Lucas Oil Stadium en-trance gates where up to 30 volunteers will be assisting in the collection.

The fan donations will directly benefit survivors of

domestic violence who live in transitional housing at Coburn Place in Indianapo-lis. Since opening in 1996, Coburn Place – which serves residents through-out Indiana – has provided 564,907 days and nights of housing to 708 adults and 1,148 children.

“Coburn Place wouldn’t exist to offer safe and se-cure housing with access to meaningful resources with-out donations like these,” said Julia Kathary, presi-dent and executive director of Coburn Place.

The REPORTEROver 100 Women Who

Care in Hamilton County, Indiana ("Women Who Care"), is ready for their second meeting which will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at The Noblesville Event Center, 2350 Con-ner St. The goal is straight-forward: They meet four times per year and donate $100 to a local Hamilton County 501(c)(3) char-ity selected by vote at the meeting.

"Our primary goal is to be well over 100 women strong and make a difference while reach-ing all kinds of non-prof-its throughout Hamilton County. We want to get the word out to all women to

come join us who live in Carmel, Westfield, Fishers, Cicero, Noblesville, Arca-dia and Sheridan. Let's make an impact within our community!" said Mary Beth Woehrle, co-founder of Women Who Care.

During the November meeting, a $3,100 check will be presented to Ham-ilton County Area Neigh-borhood Development (HAND) and HAND will present how the money will be used. HAND was the selected charity at the first meeting held in Au-gust earlier this year. Vot-ing for a new organization within Hamilton County to receive funds will also take place.

The Women Who Care concept began from the

international organization 100 Who Care Alliance in 2006 when founder Karen Dunigan from Jackson, Mich., asked for help by trying to get cribs to needy mothers. She invited 100 women to a meeting and asked if they each could donate $100. Within the hour, they raised more than the $10,000 goal. The first 100 Women Who Care chapter was born.

Women Who Care was founded in January 2017 by Hamilton County resi-dents Mary Beth Woehrle, Dana Randall and Carolyn Deines, and is one of about 500 chapters that raises funds for community or-ganizations. During the quarterly meetings, mem-bers hear three presenta-

tions on local non-profits in need, vote and subse-quently donate $100 which goes directly to the chosen non-profit.

"As I began hearing about this Women Who Care concept and talking to friends and communi-ty supporters, the more it felt like our calling and an attainable goal to reach 100+ women during our ongoing conversations of interest and excitement," said Woehrle. "What a

difference $10,000+ in donations each quarter could make to non-profits all throughout Hamilton County. 100% of funds go directly to the chosen non-profit."

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorNoblesville girls basketball fans that

went up to the Husky Dome Friday nightmay have noticed a few "interestingcombinations" for the Millers during theirgame with Hamilton Heights.

Those are the words of Noblesvillecoach Donna Buckley. Her team was dealta blow Thursday when a starter got injured.Nevertheless, the Millers toughed out a56-49 win over the Huskies, holding off aHeights charge in the fourth period.

Noblesville was playing withoutMallory Johnson, a starter for the Millerswho had playing well in their first threegames.

"Mallory got hurt right at the end ofpractice yesterday," said Buckley. Thus thedifferent combinations for Noblesville.Buckley admitted that the team hadn'tworked on those new combinations, but theteam persevered - "to our kid's credit, theydid a nice job for us," said the coach.

The first quarter was a back-and-forthone. Heights led 7-4 after Bayleigh Runnerhit a 3-pointer, but the Millers' MaddieKnight answered with a 3 of her own, tyingthe game at 7-7.

Emily Kiser used a jumper and a freethrow to get Noblesville ahead 10-7, butRunner drained a buzzer-beating shot frommid-court to tie the game at 10-all at the endof one.

The Millers opened the second quarterwith a 9-0 run, with Knight adding five morepoints. Heights scored six unansweredpoints to cut Noblesville's lead to 21-17, butthe Millers got those six points right back totake a 27-17 halftime lead. Emily Kisermade two baskets, and little sister AnnaKiser made a layin.

Noblesville led by as much as 38-17midway through the third period. TheHuskies made a 7-0 run to keep the gamereasonable, at 38-24. Heights then slowlychipped away at the Millers' lead in the

By JIM BELSERBen Davis lived up to the hype as the

top-rated team in the state, as it took apartFishers 50-7 Friday night in the Class 6Aregional final at Fishers.

The Giants put forth a dangerous groupof skilled players that can overwhelm adefense. And they did so against the Tigers,time and again. Their quickness and elusive-ness often turned ordinary gains into longdistance sprints with a trail of Fishers

defenders in their wake.Getting it in to their hands was Giants

quarterback Reese Taylor, who passed for225 yards and four touchdowns. Ben Davisgot big plays from nearly all its receivers,but none was more lethal than JermaineHoskins. Hoskins pulled down receptions of19, 25, 10 and 45 with two earning touch-downs.

“I was disappointed we didn’t give thema better ball game, but they are the numberone-ranked team and they are going to be a

tough team for anybody to beat,” Fisherscoach Rick Wimmer said.

Defensively the Giants were good for apair of interceptions and applied pressure toFishers quarterback Jon Vore, sacking thejunior three times on the night on blitzes. Itwas a dominating performance by BenDavis that very few high school teams couldhave withstood.

Fishers running back Dylan Scally was

the center of the Tigers offense as the Giantsshut down the home team’s passing attack.The sophomore pounded his way to 65tough yards on 20 carries. It was a difficultnight for Fishers quarterback Jon Vore, butstill the junior managed 104 yards passing,including a nine-yard TD pass.

“Dylan’s tough, he’s done a good job forus, he’s gotten an opportunity after a fewinjuries and has done well,” Wimmer said.

Vore had a terrific third quarter, passingfor 76 yards and producing the Tigers onlyscore of the night. His nine-yard toss toGregory King notched the score at a stillrespectable 29-7 halfway through the third.

“I am proud of what our group accom-plished, winning the conference champion-ship and a sectional, and doing it from a startthat wasn’t real positive, but I am proud ofwhat they’ve been able to accomplish forthe entire season,” Wimmer said.

Things turned quickly in Ben Davis’direction in the first half and stayed that waythrough the first two quarters. Fishers quar-terback Jon Vore was intercepted on theTigers' first possession after a few positiveyard plays. A Fishers receiver fell on theplay and the Ben Davis defender was therefor the pick off at 9:37 left of the first quarter.

A minute later Ben Davis scored its firsttouchdown on a one-yard running play. TheGiants produced two 15 yard plus plays onthe drive, leading to the score. Fishersmanaged to pick up a few first downs in thefirst quarter, largely behind the legs ofrunning back Dylan Scally.

While Fishers kept things on the groundin the first half, Ben Davis went through theair. Giants quarterback Reese Taylor accu-mulated 54 yards on 5-of-8 passing in thefirst quarter. The Ben Davis air attack led tothe Giants second touchdown, another shortyardage run. It put the visitors up 14-0 with2:52 left in the quarter.

The second quarter saw both teams gofor it on fourth down. Ben Davis was unsuc-cessful, but the Tigers went 2-for-2 ontheirs, including short snapping the ball to aFishers runner after lining up for a punt.Scully of Fishers basted his way up themiddle for five yards on the other successfulfourth down conversion.

After two quarters it was 22-0 BenDavis. The Giants started the third quarteroff with a 50-yard touchdown reception andended with another for 45. Ben Davis addedtwo more TD passes in the fourth.

The cold wasn't that bad, and the bus rideback from Fort Wayne didn't seem all thatlong Friday night for the Carmel footballteam.

That's because the Greyhounds returnedhome as regional champions for the fifthstraight year. No. 10-ranked Carmel won theClass 6A regional by holding off No. 2 andpreviously unbeaten Fort Wayne Snider22-21 in a dramatic game that was played atNorthrop High School.

The 'Hounds are now 8-4, and will hostPenn for next week's 6A north semi-statechampionship. The Kingsmen routed CrownPoint 33-3 to win their regional.

As it turned out, the Carmel-Snider gamewould be decided in a manic third quarter.The score was tied 7-7 at halftime, and thePanthers struck first with two quick touch-downs to lead 21-7.

The Greyhounds started their runmidway through the period, when WillSchmidt ran into the end zone from 11 yards.Matt Fortier made the extra point kick, andCarmel was now within 21-14. The 'Houndsset up the play when Jake McDonald made

a 40-yard pass to Aiden Ellison.A couple minutes later, the Carmel

defense stepped up, forcing Snider into athree-and-out. The Panthers tried to punt,but the snap went over the punters' head andout of the end zone. The result was a safety,inching the 'Hounds closer - 21-16.

The Greyhounds took the lead onanother run by Schmidt, a 15-yard rush intothe end zone. Snider blocked the extra-pointattempt, but Carmel now held a one-pointlead.

The 'Hounds would keep the lead allthrough the fourth quarter. Carmel's defensemade a couple big plays, including a BenLeary interception early in the period. TheGreyhounds clinched the game when Sniderfumbled with around a minute to go andCarmel recovered.

Both teams scored their first touchdownin the opening period. Schmidt did thehonors for Carmel, punching the ball in fromthe one-yard line with under a minute to go.Fortier kicked the extra point.

McDonald had a solid game, going12-for-21 with 123 yards to his credit.

Atticus Clouse made four catches. Schmidtfinished the game with 51 yards in 14carries, with Camari Hunt rushing 17 timesfor 56 yards. Dylan Downing made the mostof his five rushes, totaling 45 yards.

With the win, the 'Hounds claimed their

20th regional title. That places them in a tiewith another Fort Wayne team, BishopDwenger, for most regionals in IHSAAfootball history. Dwenger won a 4A regionalby beating Angola 34-0 Friday.

By KYLE GRANDCourtesy nba.com/pacersThe Pacers snapped a four-game losing

streak after handling the Chicago Bulls105-87 in the United Center. At halftime thePacers led 45-35, and though second halfissues have plagued Indiana recently, thatwas not the case tonight.

"What we’ve been trying to do the lastcouple of games is put together a full 48-minute game," Pacers head coach NateMcMillan said. "We’ve been getting off togood starts, we just haven’t finished. Ithought tonight we came out third quarter,tried to establish ourselves defensivelyagain, and not give up anything easy."

The start of the second half is where theyreally started to separate themselves fromChicago. Bojan Bogdanovich was red-hot,hitting three triples to score nine of Indiana’sfirst 15 third quarter points. The third 3-pointer gave the Pacers a 60-42 lead andforced a Bulls timeout with 8:29 to go in thequarter.

The Pacers pushed their lead to 23 beforethe Bulls started to fight back. By the 5:05mark in the third the lead had been cut to 18thanks to an 8-0 Chicago run.

But the Pacers wouldn’t give up anymore ground after that. At the end of thethird, Indiana led by 19, 80-61.

The final period was more of the samefor the visitors. A Lance Stephenson layupwith 9:01 to play put the Pacers up 23, andfrom there it was apparent that the route wasofficial.

“This is huge, man," Pacers guard VictorOladipo said. "Just to kind of get our mojoback a little bit. That was a great win for us,great road win for us. We still need tocontinue to lean on each other. This is thefirst time we had everybody healthy. That’sbig, too. We just got to maintain thatthroughout the season.”

Indiana took an early lead thanks toBogdanovich and Thaddeus Young. Behindtheir combined 13 points, the Pacersestablished a 16-10 lead with 5:57 to play inthe first.

After a break in the action, Indianacontinued to roll offensively. A pair ofStephenson jump shots gave the Pacers a27-14 lead with 1:01 to go in the openingperiod, and when the first was over, Indianaled 27-16.

Indiana never trailed en route to its sixthvictory of the season.

Victor Oladipo led the Pacers with 25points, six rebounds and six assists.Bogdanovich scored 22 and Young finishedwith 13 points.
