The REPORTEROn Wednesday BlueSky Technology
Partners (BlueSky) officially opened the doors of its new 42,000 square-foot facil-ity alongside architectural firm American Structurepoint + Interiors Group, contract-ing firm Meyer Najem, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear, and city officials. This grand opening took place only 13 months after breaking ground in late June 2016.
More than 10 years ago, BlueSky made Noblesville its home, and has committed to spurring the city’s economic growth. Due to significant expansion, BlueSky owners Todd Irwin and Eric Warne strategically placed the location of the new headquarters in proximity to the new Federal Hill Park & Concert Venue, within walking distance from Downtown Square and minutes from the future Midland Trace Bike and Walking Trail.
“This facility has been a few years in the making from vision to reality and we could not be more pleased with the results.” Irwin says, “Our goal was to build a building that evoked quality, inspired innovation and ar-chitecturally helped to shape the commu-nity. Now, with this building as our North American headquarters, BlueSky is posi-tioned to retain and attract top talent while continuing to offer consulting excellence to current and future clients.”
BlueSky along with BlueSky Digital, a digital marketing agency, occupies the third and fourth floors and have been settling into the new facility since July taking advantage of state-of-the-art collaboration and meet-ing rooms, a break and game room, and a fourth-floor terrace offering great eastward views of downtown. The first level is set for use as restaurant tenant space with out-door dining, the second is open office space
available for lease.“In the past three months, downtown
Noblesville has expanded its presence across the White River with the opening of Federal Hill Commons urban park –
and now with BlueSky’s fantastic new headquarters,” said Noblesville May-or John Ditslear. “This state-of-the-art

HSE to celebrate 50 years Carmel, Fishers top list of best places to live in America
The REPORTERWe knew we were the
best county in America, but now we have the data to prove it!
Niche.com just named Carmel the best place to live in the entire United States.
It's not the first time the city has received such an honor, though. CNN Mon-ey magazine dubbed it the best place to live in Amer-ica back in 2012, but that ranking was specifically focused on cities ranging from 50,000 to 300,000 in population.
Carmel is also listed as the fifth best suburb in which to buy a house and the sixth best place to raise a family.
Additionally, Hamilton County can boast that two of the top 20 best places to live in all of America are right here. Fishers also made the cut, ranked as the second best place to live in Indiana and the 16th best place to live in the entire United States. Westfield is listed as the fifth best place to live in Indiana.
Data company Niche says its new numbers take "into account several key factors of a location, in-cluding the quality of local schools, crime rates, hous-ing trends, employment statistics, and access to amenities in an attempt to measure the overall quality of an area."

When Hamilton South-eastern (HSE) High School decided to have a 50th an-niversary celebration of the original school’s opening, current HSE Principal Matt Kegley thought it would be easy to find the date of the first school year. But he found that to be a little more complicated than he thought.
“The senior class grad-uating in the spring of 1967 were actually given the choice whether they wanted to graduate as Fishers Tigers or as Hamilton Southeastern Royals,” Kegley explained. “If you look back in the year-book, you see sports teams with kids wearing both.”
So Kegley and other of-
ficials took into account that transition year and decided 2017 would be the 50th an-niversary of the opening for
Hamilton Southeastern High School. There was a much

The best part of a community is footballEach Friday when I was
growing up was always my favorite part of the week. Not just because it was the week-end, but because I knew it was time for Friday night football. When the last bell of the day rang at school, I would get off the bus, change my clothes to something warmer and wait outside for my grandpa to pick me up. Those were the best times growing up. It made me so much closer to my grandpa. We would drive to Warren Central to watch Uncle Kevin coach the Warriors.
I have so many great moments with my grandpa and football. Driving to games we
would share some Double Bubble, talk about school, life and of course sports. I can always remember him playing “Gold 104.5”. We would listen to oldies until we got to the stadium. After we got there we would tail-gate with the different fam-ilies.
At halftimes of games my grandpa would throw a football with me on the field. Still one of my favorite things about my grandpa at
games was that he always brought his bin-oculars, even if we were standing on the sideline.
I never played in high school, but I
grew up around it. It taught me what it felt like to win and lose. More importantly, it taught me what football can do for friends, family and a community.
Just four years ago, I liked this girl and our first date was at the old Westfield football stadium. Now, we are getting mar-ried in October. That is why I love calling games for Hamilton County Television on Friday nights. It reminds me of great mo-ments in my life.
I am telling you these stories because I am not alone. We all have stories about football. Whether it is remembering a high school homecoming game or all the great things that go on before the game such as parades, tailgating, etc. It could be a great memory of a son playing under the lights or a daughter cheering on the sidelines. Re-
gardless football is something that brings a community together.
So why is it that football can bring communities together? The answer is be-cause we all have those stories. It is a piece of our community that makes us proud to live there. Football brings out our competi-tive side of us. It is amazing how the color of a helmet can make us so competitive.
With my grandfather passing away ear-ly this year it will be different come Friday night, but I get to carry those stories with me. Just like all of us we get to remember and share so many great memories under the lights.
No matter how big or small the place you live, once those lights are on . . . We all feel like we are in our own small towns. Cheering until the last whistle.

Protect your heart health by getting vaccinated
StatePointWhile getting vaccinated is important
for people of all ages, it’s especially import-ant for adults with heart disease. They are more likely to have serious complications from common diseases such as influenza (flu) or pneumonia that vaccination can help prevent.
Common diseases can become serious in adults with heart disease; they can even increase the risk of another heart attack. The protection that vaccines provide helps reduce these risks, and while adults may know they are at increased risk for a heart attack, they may not know they need vac-cines throughout their lives to help protect them from serious illness.
Bill Zeigler, 70, didn’t realize he had coronary artery disease (CAD) until 2016, when he began to feel winded after regular exercise and went to his physician’s office for a stress test. It was there that he learned he had CAD, one of the most common forms of cardiovascular disease. After his diagnosis, he knew he had to make import-ant lifestyle changes, including adopting a healthier diet and maintaining his exercise routine. And while Zeigler had stayed up-to-date with his flu vaccinations, his physician explained that getting these and catching up
on his pneumococcal vaccinations was more important now than ever because of his di-agnosis.
Vaccines are one of the safest and easiest ways to protect your health, even if you are taking prescription medications, say experts. Fortunately, getting a vaccination is easy — most doctors’ offices, health care centers and local pharmacies offer vaccines, and many are covered by health insurance.
If you have heart disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) rec-ommends the following:
• An annual flu vaccine to protect against seasonal flu.
• Pneumococcal vaccine to protect against pneumococcal disease between the ages of 19 and 64. All adults will need addi-tional doses once they turn 65.
• Td and Tdap vaccines to protect against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough.) Td is recommended every 10 years for all adults. Tdap vaccine adds protection against whooping cough. All adults need Tdap vaccine if they haven’t received a dose.
• Zoster vaccine to protect against shin-gles, if you are 60 years or older.
To learn more about recommended vac-cines and find a location to get vaccinated near you, visit cdc.gov/vaccines/heart.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorWhenever the Indiana high school foot-
ball season begins, many eyes are on Carmelbecause of its championship tradition.
That will be amplified this year becausethe Greyhounds are the defending Class 6Astate champions. Carmel graduated a fewkey players from last season's title team, butthey have quite a bit of experience back -including the quarterback who played in thepost-season run. The 'Hounds, of course,know how to reload.
"If a guy isn't a returning starter, he atleast was part of the rotation last year, or aguy that we've been working with for acouple years now," said Carmel coach JohnHebert.
McDonald had a sensational junior year,compiling 2390 yards and throwing for 31touchdowns on a 67.2 percent completionrate. He also ran well when it was necessary,with a net of 60 yards and a touchdown.
A key component of last year's runninggame is Camari Hunt, who ran for 518 yards,
a nice average of 6.1 yards per carry. He willreturn to the tailback position this season.Zachary Bradley is slated for the fullbackposition.
The receiving group will be new, but notnecessarily inexperienced. Atticus Clousegot some varsity playing time last season.He will be joined by Jack Rodimel andWesley Watson.
Another big return is kicker ConnerCoghlan, who kicked the game-winningfield goal for the 'Hounds in the state cham-pionship game. Punter Zach Bradley is backas well. Offensive linemen moving up thelist include Matt Klepinger at left tackle, ZacBowman at right tackle and Jon VanZetta atright guard.
Meanwhile, Carmel's defense will havesome experience as well. That includes NateFrey as one of the safeties and Ben Leary,who moves from safety to inside linebacker.Matt Boyer will also move up to a startingposition at inside linebacker as well. JoeySchmidt is a key returnee at outside line-backer.
"Defense, we've got more starters back
than offense, but our offense is comingalong really well, especially our offensiveline," said Hebert. "We feel really goodabout our running backs, and of course,having your quarterback Jake McDonaldback, that's always very big in high school
football."Carmel has a big game for its opener
tonight: The Greyhounds travel to Louisvilleto take on Trinity Lutheran, a powerhousein Kentucky football.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorIt will definitely be a new-look football
team for Hamilton Heights when it takes tothe field tonight.
The Huskies saw a strong senior classgraduate last fall, and only return fourstarters from each side of the ball. But,Heights coach Mitch Street said there are 20seniors returning, so many of them will gettheir chance to show what they can do.
The returners include senior TroyBergesen, who will be on the offensive lineas right tackle. Bergesen is capable ofplaying both ways; in fact, he made 50tackles last season for Heights.
"Troy Bergesen is a guy who started bothways for us for the last two years," saidStreet.
Another lineman returning is NoahSouder, who will play right guard on offense
and tackle on defense. Hunter Wiles is slatedfor the left tackle on offense, but Streetnoted that he played a "pretty good amount"on the defense as well.
Also back are Luke Herr and MichaelCross, and they will be going both ways aswell. Herr will be under center on offenseand playing anchor on defense, while Crosswill take cornerback and wide receiverduties. Cross had seven catches last year for103 yards.
After that, look for many newcomers.Heights plans to open with a sophomore atthe quarterback position, Tyler Andis. IkeHooper, a senior is in the fullback position.
"I think we have maybe less two wayguys than we did last year, but there'll be alot of guys that are twos," said Street, whocalls it the "nature of a small school" thatthere are several two-way players on theteam.
"But I think we're playing a lot more
guys this year than what we have in yearspast," said Street. "A lot of guys in the mix."
The Huskies open their season tonight
at Mount Vernon for the third straight year.The Huskies have won the previous twocontests.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorThe players on this season's Sheridan
football team are another year older, anotheryear wiser and ready to add their ownchapter to the Blackhawks history book.
Many of last year's offensive anddefensive leader are back on the team thisseason. Sheridan fans got a chance to seethem up close during last Friday'sscrimmage with Crawfordsville, and theBlackhawks had a nice night.
"I thought we looked decent," saidSheridan coach Bud Wright, who begins his52nd season as Blackhawks coach tonightwhen his team travels to Western Boone."We still got a long ways to go to get better.Got to get in a little bit better shape."
Keeping up with his year's Sheridanrunning game will be as difficult as anadvanced step class. Leading the way on theground is senior Joe Callahan, whocompiled 2041 yards for the 'Hawks lastseason and scored 18 touchdowns.
Junior Drake Delph will return asquarterback. He was responsible for 16touchdowns last year, nine by passing andseven by rushing. Delph also reached the1000 all-purpose yard mark with 650passing and 468 rushing. Other key runnersback are Gunner Williams and NicholasBurnell.
The offensive line is experienced, withsenior Tanner Swindle and juniors JesseKolb and Ian Pence returning. Kolb andSwindle will also be prominent on thedefensive line as well; Sheridan will havemany two-way players, which isn'tuncommon for a small school.
"We got a pretty good line," said Wright."We got six linemen that can play, andhopefully we can rotate those six and get alittle bit of rest for them every once in awhile."
Several key players return forBud and the Blackhawks

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorDon't plan on getting too much past the Guerin Catholic football team this year.The Golden Eagles have several experienced defensive players, including a couple of
three-year starters. Add that to a senior quarterback and a solid looking offensive game,and this could be another successful season for Guerin.
The defense will be anchored by two senior linebackers: Jake Labus on the outsideand Logan Weaver on the inside. Both are three-year starters. Other key defenders returningare linebackers, outside Sam Ashton and inside Charlie Bock.
In addition, GC coach Tom Dilley said there will be other people helping out on defenseas well.
"Chris Castillo is a senior who will play on the defensive line a lot," said Dilley. "We'vegot another junior, Hank Bates, who's going to be an outside linebacker and work with theD-line as well. Nick Szymczak will be a sophomore that looks like he's going to get a lotof playing time."
On the offensive side, senior Luke Keller returns as the Golden Eagles' quarterback.Keller had a great season last year, passing for 1027 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Senior Thomas Kaser got a ton of experience last season, with Dilley noting that he"was a slot receiver and part-time tailback who played almost every down." Kaser will be
in at tailback this season, and it appears he will be gettingthe primary rushing duties.
The offensive line will be new, and relatively young.However, Dilley likes what he is seeing from his newlinemen so far.
"We have a couple sophomores, Mike McGreal andCharlie Sawyer who are doing a good job," said Dilley. "MattLoso was coming on. He'll be out for a couple weeks, buthe'll be back. He's a senior that didn't play last year, but he'sgoing to be a big important part of our squad."
Others to look for on the line are Chris Augustinovicz,Nico Albert and Sam Brown, a newcomer to the team. Albertwill also see some defensive time as well.
The Golden Eagles open their season on the road tonightat Martinsville.
