The department said officers were called to the 14300 block of northbound State Road 37 just after 2 a.m. for a medical emer - gency. After arriving at the scene, police officers learned that a woman, Al- yssa Elliot, 35, was in the backseat of a 2019 F-250, driven by her fiancé Sean Scheldt, 43, when for an unknown reason, she exited the truck through the back- seat passenger window.

Neighbors said that kind of development just doesn’t belong there. The Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals received 151 letters on the proposal; only about 10 were in sup- port. In the letters, some neighbors said they would move out of the village, while others were con- cerned a gas station would bring crime to the area.

I think what we’re worried about is what would hap- pen from an environmen- tal and health aspect,” said Phillips. Phillips is the woman behind the signs now in dozens of yards across the community. They read “No Gas Station.” She also cre- ated a website to help edu- cate her neighbors. Many of her neighbors already shared similar feel- ings before she put the in- formation online. “I have a family mem- ber that recently got diag- nosed with a very serious health condition and we live in close proximity to the proposed location and that’s not ideal for what we’re facing as a family,” said Chris Wright. “Should you be build- ing a gas station next to an old person’s home, should you be building it across from where people live? There’s benzine that gets emitted through venting tubes,” said Jeff Bladen. The gas station would be built on Harleston Street. The proposal will be heard at Carmel’s next Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on Aug. 24.

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,

as is a reconfigurable digital gauge display and SiriusXM satellite radio. The

Volkswagen Car-Net connectivity app allows for remote starting and analytics

students.“I thought that would be

a great community service project that my students could do that would utilitze the skills they have learned in the classroom,” said Keevern.

Materials to build the food pantries were provid-ed by TechTrades, Talent-Logistix and PinPoint Re-sources.

After the pantries were constructed, State Rep-resentative and CEO of Gaylord Electric Chuck Goodrich and employees of Gaylord Electric picked them up, painted, and de-livered the first pantries to their locations.

“We weren’t prepared to launch so quickly, but with the looming crisis with COVID, we needed to get the pantries out for a num-ber of reasons,” Hall said.

“It was pretty clear that God orchestrated getting the pantries out earlier.”

According to Hall the first pantries were only stocked with Gatorade and popcorn. The program has now grown to a total of eight fully-stocked pantries in Noblesville, Cicero and Arcadia. One recent pantry was placed on the grounds of the Hamilton Heights School Administration building.

“We are so grateful for our partnership with Ham-ilton Heights School Cor-poration, Ms. Davis, Dr. Arrowood, and the entire school board in bringing a Feeding Families Hamilton County pantry to Arcadia,” Hall said. “These are great people that demonstrate serving neighbors every day.”

Goodrich has chal-

lenged the community to get involved and donate to help feed the hungry.

“When you go to your local grocery, pick up a few items and on your way home, stop by and put them on the shelf of one of the pantries,” Goodrich said.

“We are so grateful for all the contributions and the community coming togeth-er to stock the pantries,” concluded Hall.

Feeding Families of Hamilton County operates under the principals of take what you need, give what you can, and neighbors helping neighbors.

Non-perishable dona-tions can be placed in the food pantries, or you can contact Mark and Lisa Hall through their Feeding Fami-lies Hamilton County Face-book page. You can also call (317) 626-3707.

“In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.” –Albert Einstein

At SPIS we only deliver the truth so you can find the justice you deserve.

Becoming your bestin the worst of times

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …”

– Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities, 1859

I probably could not have selected a more iconic (and no-tably ironic in these times) quote than this one – and if you have not read A Tale of Two Cities, I strongly encourage you to do so – which I am taking out of the original context to relate it to my topic to-day.

Although I am writing about a fitness topic, “the best and worst of times” certainly does resonate with us for many reasons. Like most of you, it seems we are in the worst of times! My hope is that we can glean some aspects of this pandemic as positive, such as a renewed appre-ciation for our health, our families, our health care workers, and our faith.

Let’s examine the “best of times” as it relates to our nutrition and fitness issues of today.

Never in human histo-ry have we had the access as we do today to detailed anatomical information and what constitutes good nutrition, healthy life-styles, and a sound phys-ical body. Granted, in my opinion, there is just a bit too much “expertise” out there which is misleading or in some cases, blatantly untrue. Sifting through all of this “expertise” can be difficult and exasperating to most of us. Neverthe-less, it is a positive oppor-tunity for us to learn more about what constitutes the best for our bodies, given the proper direction and assistance.

And as we proceed to the “worst of times” we are faced with a plethora of vendors very willing to sell you their latest “mira-cle” product, diet aids, and lose-30 pounds-in 10 days-without-working-out fad. That is one reason why it is important to rely on

those who have the background in research and study of diet and nutrition as well as proper fitness methods. Incorrect infor-mation from those who have not adequately studied nutrition

nor been certified to teach fitness can be detrimental and at best sabotage or at worst harm the individual. Please remember that, cur-rently, herbal supplements are not FDA-regulated, so use caution.

So, this brings up a host of questions: Do I need vitamin and miner-al supplements? If I do, where do I purchase those – does it make a differ-ence? What about herbal remedies? How can I learn more about organic foods – and are they always the best choice? What types of pesticides are used on my produce? Do the meat and poultry items I consume have antibiotic residue in them? Are harmful dyes added to my snack foods? What kind of fitness pro-gram works best for me? Do have flexibility and bal-ance challenges? Do I need more muscle mass? What kind of aerobic condition-ing is best for my age and current health status? Do I have conditions which may warrant specialized fitness programs, such as arthritis or previous head or neck injuries? There are many questions and concerns which should be addressed before making your final decisions on your diet and fitness regimens.

As one who has been trained and certified as a nutrition and wellness coach, personal trainer, yoga instructor, flexibility and balance progression specialist with over 20 years of experience my recommendation is – do your homework!

This begins with al-ways talking first with your personal physician, no exceptions here! After you get the green light,

talk with friends or fami-ly to see if they have pro-fessional referrals. Check out your local health food store to see if they work with anyone they might recommend.

Do your research when it comes to fitness centers – whether locally or corpo-rately owned. Inquire about the training and credentials of their trainers. Interview the person(s) with whom you are considering work-ing on your nutrition and/or fitness goals. Does the person hold credentials/training from a recognized and accredited organiza-tion such as ACE (Amer-ican Council on Exercise) AFPA (American Fitness Professionals Association) or ISSA (International Sports Science Associa-tion)? You hire profession-als to repair your car, to assist you in planning your financial future, to buy and sell homes, and in many other areas – do at least as much for your physical well-being. After all, we are talking about your irre-placeable body here!

Now, back to “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” As you probably know, that is only the beginning of the first paragraph of an amazing novel by an amazing au-thor. What does A Tale of Two Cities have to do with my topic this week? Well, nothing specifically, but please if you have not read this classic novel, I encour-age you to do so. And if you have, you might con-sider reading it again.

I hope you make this season of your life the “best of times” through the challenge of a pandemic that may change the way we live for some time to come. Sharon McMahon, CNWC [email protected]

Aimee Rivera Cole, Democratic candidate for the Indiana House of Rep-resentatives in District 37, welcomed the endorsement of John Gregg, former speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives, former President of Vincennes Uni-versity and two-time guber-natorial candidate.

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of John Gregg,” said Rivera Cole. “During his 16 years in the Indiana House of Repre-sentatives, John earned the respect of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and demonstrated that, despite policy differences, Indiana government works best when it puts the best inter-ests of all Hoosiers first.”

“Aimee Cole is the can-didate who will work for all citizens with a strong focus on education, health care, infrastructure and the qual-ity of life issues we care about,” said Gregg. “Join me in supporting Aimee.”

Gregg’s endorsement of local candidates is rare, and a first for this election cycle.

TODAY’S BIBLE READINGNeither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

The REPORTERThe Fishers Arts Coun-

cil will celebrate the Art of James Anderson: Vacations and Abstracts for its August exhibit in The Art Gallery at Fishers City Hall. The ex-hibit opens today and runs through Aug. 29. A free, public reception for Ander-son will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 7 at The Art Gallery at City Hall.

Anderson says he has always enjoyed capturing photos and creating art from his youth. He received a prestigious L. S. Ayres Gold Key for one of his watercol-or cityscape works in high school.

“I never understood what was so special about that one watercolor until nearly 50 years later when I saw a Matisse exhibit at the India-napolis Museum of Art,” he said. “That one work I cre-ated was very Matisse-like.”

During a physical for college, Anderson discov-ered that he was red-green-brown shade colorblind.

“It is not that I don’t see those colors, but I have trou-ble distinguishing between them in certain lighting sit-uations,” he said. “I always

wondered why it was diffi-cult for me to blend colors to achieve a desired color when painting with acrylics. Therefore, my wife has be-come my color advisor.”

James set aside his artis-tic talents to follow a career as a programmer analyst/network engineer/business analyst/systems test engi-neer/systems trainer/sys-tems support engineer in Information Technology. Then, “shortly before re-tirement, God opened my eyes again to those dormant artistic talents as He showed me what I missed during my IT career. He brought artist friends back into my life who urged me to display the scenes I captured for others to view as well.”

Buffalo Creek flows be-side his home.

“In the spring of 2013, God reminded me that the middle portion of the bank was overgrown,” he said. “I agreed and began ‘trimming’ the overgrowth.”

After four and a half hours of trimming, James saw an amazing view into the middle of the creek with scenes he had missed for 34 years.

“While He has taken me to cityscapes, landscapes, quiet nature scenes, flow-ers, people, and animals ev-erywhere, my favorite cre-ation of His are the natural abstracts I find in Buffalo Creek,” he said.

Over the years, Anderson has varied his cameras, but always uses the same lens makers: Sony and Zeiss. He feels they provide the finest optics. Currently, his camera

is a Sony a7R IV. He says its wide variety of capabilities fit his needs well from macro to zoomed telephoto. How-ever, he says, it is the Sony FE70300G/OSS optics that put the icing on each shot.

“Now I use all the gifts God gave me from the cre-ativeness of high school art, to the logic of IT, combined with the eyes of age and memories to capture scenes that I hope others enjoy as much as I en-joy them,” he said. “He has given me a portfolio of over 4,200 photos.”

Anderson’s artwork will also be accessible on the Fishers Arts Council website as part of the virtual gallery.

In just her third WNBA game, Julie Allemand solidified her name in the Indi-ana Fever record book. The rookie guard from Belgium tied a franchise record for most assists in a regular season game with 11 in the 76-73 loss against the Dallas Wings.

The Fever (1-2) held a 14-point lead in the third quarter, but 19 points and 10 assists in the second half from rookie forward Satou Sabally helped the Wings snap a four-game losing streak against Indiana. Sabally finished with a game-high 23 points and 17 rebounds.

Indiana’s bench aided as much as possible in the first of two matchups this season with Dallas. Stephanie Mavunga tied a career-high 10 points and set a new personal best with eight rebounds in just under 15 minutes of action. Kennedy Burke, who was acquired last season after being waived by Dallas, ended her night with seven points and a career-best six rebounds.

More Fever players moved up the record book on Friday night. In the first half, Natalie Achonwa snagged four rebounds to become the fifth-leading rebounder in franchise history. Achonwa left the game in the second quarter due to a right hamstring injury and did not return to the game.

Tiffany Mitchell started where she left off on Wednesday night scoring the first six points of the game for the Fever. Mitchell’s 11 points against Dallas moved her to ninth on the franchise scoring list with 1,247 career points in a Fever jersey.

Fever fall to Dallas, Allemand posts record night

In the marquee quarterfinal match at the 118th Western Amateur on Friday, Ricky Castillo, of Yorba Linda, Calif., outlasted Andy Ogletree, of Little Rock, Miss., in 20 holes at Crooked Stick Golf Club.

Castillo, a sophomore at Florida and the second-ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, qualified for the semifinals for the second year in a row.

He led 2 up after a birdie at the 14th, but Ogletree had birdies on Nos. 15 and 18 to send the match into extra holes. Ogletree, the ninth-ranked player in the world and the defending U.S. Amateur champion, kept his hopes alive by mak-ing a par on No. 17 after hitting his tee ball into the water hazard.

After each player parred No. 1, Castil-lo closed out Ogletree, who was a senior at Georgia Tech this past season, with a par. Castillo carded five birdies and an eagle, while Ogletree finished with four birdies and an eagle.

“Andy is such a good player, and it was a great match,” Castillo said. “It was back and forth. You had to hit good shots and make birdies to win holes.”

In the morning round, Castillo beat Harrison Ott, of Brookfield, Wis., 2 and 1. Castillo tied the match with a birdie at No. 14 and then eagled the par-5 15th. He took a 2-up lead with par at No. 16.

“It was a long day, but it was a fun day,” Castillo said.

George Duangmanee, of Fairfax, Va., a freshman at Virginia, pulled off the big-

gest surprise of the day by defeating Da-vis Thompson, of Saint Simons Island, Ga. Thompson, a senior at Georgia and the fourth-ranked player in the world, was the medalist last year.

Trailing 5 down through six, Duang-manee, the 208th-ranked player, won seven of the last 12 holes to defeat Thompson in 19.

“Honestly, I was almost ready to go home because he was playing insane golf,” Duangmanee said. “But I stayed patient and waited for my opportunities to come, and I capitalized on them.”

Duangmanee will play Pierceson Coody, of Plano, Texas, in Saturday’s semifinals. Coody, a sophomore at Texas, beat Connor Creasy, of Abingdon, Va., 5 and 4 in the quarters. Rasmus Neer-gaard-Petersen, of Copenhagen, Den-mark, and a junior at Oklahoma State, earned a date with Castillo in the semis after defeating Austin Hitt, of Longwood, Fla., 2 and 1.

The semifinals will start at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, with the championship match scheduled for Saturday afternoon. The winner will hoist the George R. Thorne Trophy.

“That win gave me a lot of confidence going into (Saturday), but I have to be patient and worry only about myself,” Duangmanee said.

Added Castillo, “Hopefully, I am able to win it this year, but there’s a lot of golf left. If I keep playing solid, I know I have a chance. I’m excited.”
