Nickel Plate restoration

rolling alongThe REPORTER

Restoration began this last week on the 12 miles of railroad track between Atlanta and Noblesville in Hamilton County. The project started in Atlanta on Monday and will finish in Noblesville in late June. This will take approximately five weeks to complete.

Restoration will consist mainly of tie replacement and maintenance on rail joints. Restoration and maintenance conclusion is subject to time extension for extra work. Atlanta Pacific Rail will oversee the restoration work.

Other work to be done on the line in-cludes bridge inspections by the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority, as is required by law, as well as weed and brush mit-igation efforts. Work to improve some

Fishers, private firms to work together on reforestation projectBy LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

Fishers city offi-cials and a private n u r s e r y are joining forces to

encourage local reforesta-tion. The Fishers Parks and Recreation Department and Wasson Nursery will work together on the Set Roots program.

Organizations can select their donated tree based on

tree species or park location. Wasson Nursery will install the trees during spring and fall Keep Fishers Beautiful days of service.

The City of Fishers De-partment of Public Works will maintain the planted trees and track using GIS maps to record and manage planting numbers and data.

“We are so excited to be part of this project,” said Wasson Nursery Marketing Director Alyssa Quyle in a city news release. “After setting our own roots in Fishers in April 2017, we

look forward to becoming an active part of this grow-ing community. We could not think of a better way to get involved than helping aid in creating a lasting leg-acy in Fishers parks.”

Several local Fishers operations have committed to the Set Roots program, including Purdue Uni-versity, OneZone Cham-ber of Commerce and Meyer Najem.

In 2017, Fishers Depart-ment of Public Works plant-ed 210 trees in the com-munity, and the City hopes

to increase that number in 2018.

Available data indicate the average office worker uses 10,000 pieces of pa-per per year, and with one 15-year-old tree producing only a half box of paper, Fishers Parks & Recreation hopes the new initiative will highlight not only the need for additional tree planting, but also raise awareness to reduce paper consumption.

Youth Assistance Program cele-brated the success of 10 amaz-ing students at its second annu-al Impact Awards Dinner last Thursday evening at Beck’s Hy-brids in Atlanta. The event drew in students, their families, Ham-ilton Heights School Corpora-tion personnel, local legislators and dignitaries from the greater Hamilton County area and be-yond for this special celebration of accomplishment.

The program recognizes one student per grade (grades 3-12) who successfully maneuvered through a challenge in their life.

The 2018 Hamilton Heights Youth Assistance IMPACT Award recipients’ include:

• 3rd Grade: John Rady• 4th Grade: Eldorado Vesquez • 5th Grade: Hunter Powell• 6th Grade: Olivia Goldfarb • 7th Grade: Rebecca Harding • 8th Grade: Brian Lamp• 9th Grade: Brian Ott• 10th Grade: Sarah Mariotti, • 11th Grade: Madison Barrows • 12th Grade: Lee Martin

Dr. Derek Arrowood, Hamil-ton Heights School Corporation Superintendent, led the opening ceremony highlighting that the in-dividuals in attendance were there to show their support for these re-markable students who overcame challenges in their lives.

State Rep. Tony Cook was the keynote speaker. He talked about the lifelong positive im-pact of making good choices. Cook noted that facing difficul-ties is a part of life, but everyone has a choice in how they can re-

spond. He wrapped up his inspi-rational message by pointing out that “you can be anything you choose to be in life.”

State Rep. Kathy Kreag Rich-ardson made a surprise visit to present Judge Steven Nation with the prestigious Sagamore of the Wabash Award for his outstand-ing service as a four-term judge and long-standing tenure on the board of the Youth Assistance program in Hamilton County.

“It’s about celebrating the hard work, resilience and effort demonstrated by these students to rise above a difficult issue that may otherwise have nega-tively impacted their life,” said Mary Ann Haymaker, Hamilton Heights Youth Assistance Ear-ly Intervention Advocate, who

helped spearhead the event.The evening was made pos-

sible, in part, thanks to the sup-port of these sponsors: Amanda Hill Photography, Beck’s, Big Dogs BBQ, cch+a Attorneys at

Hamilton County, there’s a new sheriff in town . . .

Interesting primary election resultsBy FRED SWIFTReadTheReporter.com

There will soon be a new sheriff in town. His name is Dennis Quakenbush, a youthful, well-educated career lawman who is new on the Hamilton County po-litical scene. He bested his nearest opponent, Bill Clif-ford, by about 1,400 votes in last Tuesday’s Republi-can primary election, and likely faces no opposition in the upcoming general elec-tion. Other candidates in the spirited, four-way sheriff's race to take the place of re-tiring Sheriff Mark Bowen were Mitch Russell and Ed-die Moore.

There will also be a new judge in court come January. Mike Casati defeated Will Riley in another reasonably close race by about 2,300 votes out of 32,000 cast in the GOP primary. Finishing third in the judge's race was Jeff Heinzmann. Casati will take the bench in January from retiring Judge Steve Nation in Superior Court 1.

Retiring from office at

the end of the year besides Judge Nation and Sheriff Bowen is State Rep. Kathy Richardson. Her seat will likely be taken by Chuck Goodrich, another newcom-er to local politics. He fin-ished first in a field of four candidates that included Greg O'Connor, Brad Bea-ver and Garen Bragg. Like the others, Goodrich likely faces little to no opposition in November in an over-whelmingly Republican Hamilton County.

Another major result of yesterday's voting was the shift in factional control of the County Council. The current line-up has members Paul Ayers, Brad Beaver, Fred Glynn and Rick McK-inney often voting togeth-er on controversial issues, while Steve Schwartz, Amy Massilamany, Jeff Hern of-ten compose the other bloc. Since Ayers is retiring, a new council nominee, Ken Alexander who won yes-terday, is viewed as likely to side with the Schwartz group. Both Glynn and Schwartz won re-nomina-

tion in the primary.Despite several com-

petitive races, less than 19 percent of the county's vot-ers went to the polls. Of the 43,021 who voted, 32,100 asked for a Republican ballot and 8,300, Demo-cratic. The election went very smoothly and the re-turns were posted in record time. Moments before 9 p.m. Election Administrator Kathy Richardson attribut-ed the rapid count of votes in part to new electronic poll pads along with a hard working staff and a lack of problems with the voting machines in the 221 county precincts.

In the furious statewide fight for the GOP nomi-nation for U.S. Senator, Mike Braun rather easily defeated Luke Messer and Todd Rokita in the Hamil-ton County voting. Braun polled more than 42 percent of the 32,192 votes cast in the hard fought race.

Results of all races on the county and township ballot can be found at ReadTheReporter.com.

Reporter photo by Stu Clampitt(From left) Charles, Dennis, George, Christen, (front row) Paul and Henry Quakenbush. Upon receiving the nomination for his party, Dennis Quakenbush said, “My sincere thanks and appreciation to the residents of Hamilton County for their show of confidence by electing me to be their republican candidate for the office of Sheriff of Hamilton County. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is a professional and progressive agency which will continue to make our residents safe and provide for the quality of life we have all come to know and appreciate.”

Reflections on an electionThe most

striking aspect of last Tuesday's primary election was the fact that in a county with a third of a mil-lion residents, a mere 10,000 votes will choose a Superior Court judge and 12,000 can elect a sheriff. This is not a crit-icism of the winning can-didates for these or other offices. They did all they could to encourage folks to vote.

The problem lies with our general public which does not seem to under-stand the importance of a primary election. There is almost no use in preaching to the choir on this because we can be reasonably cer-tain that most readers of the Reporter voted. But, there are tens of thousands

of our citizens who don't get the message.

H a m i l t o n County votes reasonably well in the November election. But, if folks want to help choose their elected officials,

they must vote in the pri-mary. That is where the choices are made. In this county, most local prima-ry winners will be elect-ed without opposition in November.

The most overarching issue of the recent election was attention given to the spreading opioid epidemic which is both a local and national crisis. Most candi-dates for prosecutor, sher-iff, judge and even county council promised that if elected they would attack the problem with renewed

energy and new ideas.County Coroner John

Chalfin said Tuesday night during election returns that 18 county citizens are likely fatal victims of the drug so far this year. The coroner's grim news, as a coroner's news usually is, was that deaths are running well ahead of this time last year.

On the lighter side, one candidate on Tuesday's ballot made the unusual request that he not be elect-ed. That was Mike McCo-nnell who was on the ballot for Cicero Town Council. He had told his friends and neighbors that due to recent personal issues, he would rather not win. They heard him. He got 122 votes of the 1,651 cast in the Cicero voting.

The closest election was in Sheridan where only three votes separated

Bill Curl from Steve Fish-er; however, both earned at-large seats on the town council. Another close vote saw Paul Hensel, a mem-ber of a longtime political family, defeat incumbent Paul Bolin for a seat on the Clay Township Board by 26 votes in a four-way race where 23,322 votes were cast.

And, if you think the campaign for the U.S. Sen-ate nomination was nasty, apparently 2,452 of our voters thought it was nas-ty enough that they chose not to cast a ballot for any of the candidates. Since 43,021 voters went to the polls, but only 40,569 bal-lots were cast at the top of the ticket where the greatest number is usual-ly found, we can assume that the 2,452 did not want to vote for anyone of the three candidates.

The REPORTERThe Hamilton County

Sheriff’s Office is investi-gating a fatal crash that oc-curred last Friday afternoon. Deputies were dispatched to the intersection of 266th Street and Rulon Road, east of Arcadia, at approximate-ly 3 p.m. on the report of a crash with several injured motorists. Callers reported one person trapped in a ve-hicle along with the injuries.

Deputies investigating the crash report a silver Nissan Frontier driven by Daniel H. Jessop, Jr., 72, Arcadia, was southbound on Rulon Road when it failed to yield the right-of-way at the stop sign at 266th Street. William R. Morris, 39, Elwood, was traveling eastbound on 266th Street in a silver Saturn Ion when it was struck by the Frontier.

Both vehicles left the roadway as a result of the im-pact with Morris trapped in the vehicle and suffering mul-tiple injuries. According to the initial crash report, depu-ties believe Jessop’s foot may have slipped from the brake to the accelerator prior to the crash.

Medics pronounced Morris dead at the scene of the crash. Jessop and pas-sengers in both vehicles were treated for unspeci-fied but reportedly non-life threatening injuries. Per policy, toxicology tests were performed but it will be some time before results are received.

The crash is under re-view by the Hamilton County Crash Investigation Team. Anyone with infor-mation can contact the team at 317-773-1282.

Crash near Arcadia Friday, one fatality

one is chosen as the 2018 State High School Princi-pal of the Year. The State winner will be announced at the award celebration in November.

Mason, a 1994 Hamil-ton Heights graduate, was hired as the high school principal in the fall of 2008. Mason said he is humbled and honored by the recog-nition, especially knowing the high caliber and talent among his peers in the oth-er District 5 schools.

railroad crossings is also under consideration.

“We’re excited to have the crew here preparing the tracks for our histor-ic train,” said Deanna Holt, executive director of Nickel Plate Express. “We want to encourage people to use caution when crossing railroad intersections and watch for the crews as they ready the tracks. Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad has secured funding for track restoration through

traditional bank financ-ing.”

It is expected that all three Santa Fe Hi-level passenger/dining cars and locomotive equipment will be delivered by late summer. The community can watch for the 1950s train as it completes test runs along the restored line in August, with ex-cursions beginning in ear-ly September.

Ticket information will be available in the coming weeks.

Thoughts from AudreyShe put the

thoughts into my head and the words into my mouth. Her name is Audrey. She is my mother.

Funny how I have found my-self sounding like my mother, more and more.

I have written about her “Audreyisms” as far as the expressions she has often spoken.

You have read about people being “funny turned” in my column. That came from my mom. People who ruf-fle her feathers or are a bit odd. My friends have latched on to that saying. It can explain a lot without sounding so judgmental. “Well, they are a bit funny turned.”

I’m often heard saying. “Oh my goodness, I about had a come apart.” That expression has now fil-tered amongst my friends and coworkers. “Come apart” can mean meltdown or conniption fit. Let’s just say that a conniption fit is not pretty.

If you get my mother and her sisters together you will, more than a half dozen times, hear them say “well, bless her heart.” This can mean that a person is mak-ing a bad decision, wearing an outfit unbecoming to her figure or age, is sickly, or any number of things. Apparently saying “bless her heart” allows you to give your opinion no mat-ter what it is.

Mom has taught me a few peculiar superstitions or old wives’ tales.

One being that if a bird gets in the house it is a sign of impending death. Just for the record I have had two birds get into my house over the some 40 years that I have lived there and no one died that I knew.

Speaking of death: Did you know that death comes in threes? If some-one close to you passes

away then expect two more to fol-low. I have found that to some-times be true. (Even in Holly-wood and poli-tics this seems to hold true ... just saying).

Mom says that you should nev-er sweep or vacuum the floors after sundown. It will cause bad luck. That explains a few bad luck situations.

Don’t comb your hair after dark because it will cause you to forget. Seri-ously?

If you are sewing and you cannot finish it by Fri-day you should not start it. I’m still trying to figure out that one.

Back in the day, be-fore ultrasounds were giv-en to a pregnant woman, my aunts would predict whether the baby would be a boy or a girl by how high or low a woman was carrying the baby. High = girl. Low = boy.

If a woman has heart-burn she should expect lots of hair on the baby.

My mom still tells me that I need a jacket or I will catch my death of pneu-monia. She better never catch me going outside with wet hair. I’m sure to catch a cold. She often tells me I am cold and I insist that I am not and she tells me I am wrong. And we both laugh.

At 92 my mother still has her sense of humor. I’m just thankful that I have her and her sense of humor.

I hold these thoughts in my mind and in my heart. They make my mom and her sisters who they are, loving and caring and oh so funny. And I might add, a bit strong-willed. I may have caught that from her as well.

I hope I can remember not to comb my hair after dark. I love my mother and her “Audreyisms.” Happy Mother’s day, Mom!

JANET HART LEONARD

From the Heart

“Pets can ac-tually help even if you have started to show evidence of heart problems. In an intriguing study published in the American Journal of Cardi-ology, research-ers followed more than 400 patients after they were released from the hos-pital after having a heart at-tack. One year later the pet owners had a significantly higher survival rate than non-pet owners. Their guess is that the affectionate bond and social support provided by their dogs was reducing their stress, and stress is a major contributor to cardio-vascular problems.”

– Psychology Today, June 7, 2009

Can our pets – and in this case I will refer to dogs – really make a difference in our physical and mental health and well-being? I will refer you to the quote above to reflect both the professional opinion stated and my own opinion which is definitely “YES!” Pet ownership is, obviously, a personal decision and while I am addressing dog owner-ship I believe that the ben-

efits can be traced as well to owners of cats, horses, birds, and other furry creatures and even reptiles and fish!

Of course we are familiar with the important work of service

dogs and their assistance to those who suffer from disabilities including blind-ness, hearing loss, difficul-ty performing daily physi-cal activities and effects of PTSD and other emotional issues. A national program, “Pets for Vets” is utilized by humane associations and veterans groups to provide both physical and emotion-al support for those who are suffering from military ser-vice-related issues. When you have the flu, or even just a cold, who wants to cuddle you and make you feel bet-ter … that’s right, your fur-ry friend who doesn’t care if your hair is combed or if you are wearing that old bathrobe again!

Noting the quote above which identifies heart ail-ments, there have been cas-es as well of dogs who can, through their acute sense of smell, detect cancers and

other tumors. If you are a dog owner with a close bond to your pet, you may have noticed that he or she is very in tune with your physical and emotional well-being. Being a pet owner is a seri-ous responsibility, one which can bring happiness, securi-ty, and unconditional love to both you and your pet. That is not to say that you will never be irritated with your furry friend but, hey, just like family dynamics in any household!

The day will also arrive that we, as loving pet owners, always fear. We love them dear-ly but must be prepared to let them go with dignity. Their physical being is not made to reach our longev-ity unfortunately. Some of you readers may recall that my dear Sweetie was kind enough to write a few of my articles for me when I was “on vacation” and her topics always centered on health tips for “senior” dogs, of which she was one. Sweet-ie left us about 18 months ago, but a special and strong spirit kept her here for 16 ½ years, a good run. She was

rescued from a very abusive situation at five years old and became a part of our family. To read more about Sweetie’s experience you can order “Sweetie’s Scars: A Journey of Hurt, Hope, and Healing” from Amazon. All royalties are donated to the Humane Society for Hamilton County to address medical needs for potential

adoptee dogs and cats there.

There are “other Sweet-ies” out there just waiting for loving, secure homes to spend their lives mak-ing their human

family happy. Whether you are drawn to dogs, cats, or any animal (not wildlife!) that would fit into your home life and for whom you can provide the proper care, please consider rescue and adoption of one of these worthy creatures. Sharon McMahon, CNWCFlexAbility4u@aol.com

Noblesville man now more than 700 days sober . . .Hamilton County celebrates National Drug Court MonthThe REPORTER

Jason Shadoan has a lot to be grateful for. With a solid job and his first baby on the way, things are looking up for this 30-year old Noblesville man, but that wasn’t always the case.

“I should have been in pris-on, or worse, dead,” Shadoan ad-mits. “My life today is unrecog-nizable from where it was two years ago.”

Shadoan started drinking and using drugs at the age of 13. His heroin addiction caught up to him after multiple ar-rests for theft and possession of drugs, but Hamilton Coun-ty Superior Court 6 Judge Gail Bardach saw something in Shadoan. She admitted him into the Hamilton County Drug Court in July 2016. Monday, May 7, Shadoan graduated 733 days sober.

“Jason used to turn to drugs to dull his anger and frustra-tions,” Bardach recalls. “Now he mentors other drug court at-tendees and even started a Her-

oin Anonymous chapter.”May is National Drug

Court Month. Shadoan is the 54th participant to graduate from Hamilton County’s Drug Court since its founding in 2010. The ceremony marks the completion of an intensive 18-24 months of comprehensive substance use disorder treat-ment, close supervision and accountability.

“Jason’s graduation is ev-idence of the tremendous im-pact Drug Court has had on our community,” Judge Bardach says. “It sends a powerful mes-sage. These programs reduce addiction, crime and recidi-vism while saving lives, fami-lies and valuable resources for our state.”

“I want to be sober so I can be present in my life,” Shado-an says. “For the first time in a long time, I can say, ‘My life is good!’”

HSE producing latest generation of FFA leaders

By LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

When you think of a suburban school system like Hamilton Southeast-ern, farming does not al-ways come to mind first. However, HSE as a school corporation has a solid his-tory tied to the industry of agriculture. That connec-tion continues to this day.

That connection was on full display at last Wednes-day’s meeting of the Ham-ilton Southeastern School Board. Two graduates of local high schools demon-

strated the leadership and public speaking skills they have gained as state-wide officials of FFA.

The current FFA In-diana President, Claire Baney, and Sneha Jogi, northern Indiana vice pres-ident of the organization, told the board how FFA had steered them in their educational experience. Baney is a graduate of HSE High School and Jogi is a graduate of Fishers High School. They each de-ferred their respective col-lege educations to serve as FFA officials.

Honoring fallen officers during National Police WeekThe REPORTER

Again this year, com-munities across the United States will come togeth-er during National Police Week, May 13-19, to hon-or and remember those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the family mem-bers, friends and fellow of-ficers they left behind.

This year, the names of 360 officers killed in the line of duty are be-ing added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. These 360 officers include 129 officers who

were killed during 2017, plus 231 officers who died in previous years but whose stories of sacrifice had been lost to history un-til now.

The names of all 360 fallen officers nationwide were formally dedicated during the 30th annual Candlelight Vigil on the evening of May 13, held on the National Mall in Wash-ington, D.C.

The more than 400 fall-en law enforcement offi-cers from Indiana will be remembered during Police Week services, including five officers from the Ham-

ilton County law enforce-ment community. Nation-wide there are more than 900,000 law enforcement officers serving in com-munities across the Unit-ed States, including the dedicated members of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. Annually, there are 58,627 assaults against law enforcement officers, resulting in approximate-ly 16,677 injuries. Since the first recorded death in 1791, more than 20,000 law enforcement officers in the United States have made the ultimate sacrifice and been killed in the line

of duty.In tribute to American

law enforcement officers and at the request of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, Public Law 103-322 des-ignates May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day, which is one of only two days each year during which government agen-cies, businesses and resi-dents are to fly their U.S. flags at half-staff.

Public Notice

The REPORTERIndiana lost a giant last

week when Major James S. “Jim” Kinder died of heart failure on May 7 at his home in Fishers. Kinder, a 29-year veter-an of the Indiana State Police, is often credited as the father of mod-ern computing for law enforcement in Indiana.

Jim Kinder was born in Elwood on May 12, 1939, to Lowell Kinder and Madonna (Clyde) Kind-er. He grew up in Tipton where his father served as a fireman and fire chief for 35 years.

At age 25, the young civil servant became a state policeman assigned to the post at Redkey. On the night of Dec. 13, 1964, within a week of getting his first pa-trol car, Kinder was struck by a drunk driver near Mun-cie while outside of his car helping another vehicle. He was hurled into the air and critically injured. Kinder re-markably survived, though he spent most of the next two years in Ball Memorial Hospital. Once recovered, he could no longer work as a trooper on the road and had to develop new areas of police expertise.

In 1968, Kinder was re-assigned to the State Office Building where he joined a fledgling unit called Data Processing. By the early 1970’s, he was leading this unit and a technology revo-lution that took the Indiana State Police from the era of punch cards and room-sized mainframes to PCs and net-works of shared crime data. From there, the department has continued its march for-ward and now uses mobile computers in patrol cars as well as real-time networks of crime data.

For his efforts leading the Data Processing unit, Kinder was awarded a Sagamore of the Wabash, Indiana’s highest honor, by Governor Otis Bowen in 1979.

Jim Kinder graduated

from Tipton High School and Indiana University. He served in the US Army from 1959 to 1964. He was hon-

orably discharged from the Army and joined the In-diana State Police where he served until his retirement in 1993. He later served as head of communications for the City of Carmel and Tipton County.

Jim played an active role in the community. He was longtime member of Our Lady of Grace and Saint Louis de Montfort Catholic parishes. He led the build-ing committee for Saint Louis de Montfort in 1978, and became the first Grand Knight of its Knights of Columbus council in 1980. Jim was a past president of the parent-teacher organiza-tion for Fishers Elementary School. He coached count-less local children in little league baseball and football for Hamilton Southeastern Schools. He was a char-ter member of the Fishers Downtown Athletic Club.

Survivors include his wife of 54 years, Linda (Burton) Kinder; son James J. “Jeff” Kinder and his wife Julie Herlihy of Menlo Park, Calif.; daughter Julie Kweder and husband Jeff, Carmel; son John Kinder, Bend, Ore.; and eight grand-children: Jaclyn Kweder, Andrew Kweder, Ashley Kweder, Joseph Kwed-er, James L. Kinder, Elliot Kinder, David “Max” Kind-er and Eleanor Kinder.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his sis-ter Mary Alice Nichols, Tip-ton, and his brother David Kinder, Sellersburg, who was also a longtime veteran of the state police.

Memorial contribu-tions may be made to the Indiana Concerns of Police Survivors, which supports families of officers killed in the line of duty. Anyone can make a donation to the group at incops.org or P.O. Box 2222, Indianapolis, IN 46206.

Noblesville Fire recognizesfive for service to communityThe REPORTER

Members of the Noblesville Fire Department (NFD), Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear, members of the Common Council, Fire Department Merit Commission and other guests gathered for the fifth annual Nobles-ville Fire Fighters Awards and Rec-ognition Banquet on Saturday, April 21. The following individuals were recognized for their service to the community and the department:

Certificates of RecognitionDavid Hiday, owner of Express

Wrecker Service, has been a huge asset to NFD. He has provided the Training Division and the Technical Rescue Team with numerous vehicles for extrication scenarios. Mr. Hiday has opened his own facility for NFD’s use and assisted the department by constantly moving vehicles during training. Mr. Hiday’s knowledge and professionalism is obvious on any scene and he is always willing to help when needed.

Mike Mast has been helping nu-merous citizens of the Noblesville community by ensuring that they have plenty of food to eat. Mike gets up early every morning and drives to several grocery stores where he picks

up food that will soon be thrown away due to upcoming “best by” and “sell by” dates. Mike then takes that food to local organizations such as Noblesville Township Trustee, VFW and American Legion where they can distribute that food to people in need. Mike does this seven days a week for several hours each day.

EMS Provider of the YearEngineer Eric Harris has 10 years

of experience as a paramedic. His 10 years of experience allows him to mentor newer paramedics assigned to his station, where he excels in demon-strating to them the proper use of pro-tocols, EMS procedures, report writ-ing, command presence on scene and professional demeanor with patients. He is a mentor and leads by example in every aspect of EMS. He sets the standard for what he expects on scene with new EMTs assigned to his station who do not normally work there by explaining his expectations. He treats all patients like they are his family, guiding them to the best medical de-cision that fits their injury or illness.

Firefighter of the YearParamedic Seth Jones he has

become a part of every specialized Team NFD offers – HAZMAT Team,

Technical Rescue Team and Dive Team. He has given countless hours to the Training Division by building numerous fire flow path simulation houses. He is always looking for new ways to better himself and others. He is always eager and willing to train on any topic whether it be EMS or Fire related. He is a true professional in every sense of the word. He is looked up to by fellow paramedics and his knowledge and willingness to im-prove shows his dedication to the job.

Kenneth L. Gilliam Leadership Award

Battalion Chief Adam Biddle is a true professional who always remains calm and successfully manages any incident or difficult situation. By continually honing his skills, gaining knowledge and sharing that knowl-edge with others, he demonstrates that a true leader never stops learn-ing and helping others. The monthly officer training he implemented for your crew is a good example of how he helps others continue to learn. His willingness to discuss and analyze any situation with others and offer advice when needed is appreciated. He continues to be an excellent ex-ample to others and an asset to NFD.

Paul Michael Cain June 12, 1988 – May 5, 2018

Paul Michael Cain, 29, was a resident of Waco, Tex-as, a devoted son, brother, nephew, cousin, friend and employee. Paul went to be with the Lord on May 5, 2018. Paul was born on June 12, 1988 in Indianapolis to Scott Cain and Penny Artman Cain.

Paul was an alumnus of the Sher-idan High School graduating class of 2007. After graduating high school, Paul attended Purdue University,

where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Public Re-lations in 2012. Paul was selected while attending Purdue to study aboard in Italy, where he studied marketing, interna-tional communication, journalism ethics and formed lasting friendships which produced many stories he loved to share. Following completion of his baccalaureate, Paul continued his education at Ball State University, where he obtained a Master’s Degree in Information and Communications Sciences.

Paul was an avid sports fan. His first love was the Chica-go Bears. He never missed a game and was quick to let the team know with his cheering or his yelling at the TV how he deemed their performance. However, more importantly to Paul than sports was his family and friends.

Devoted does not come close to describing what you got with Paul when you became “one of his people.” Paul loved his parents. He was proud of the last name his father gave him and had a special name only he called his mother. Paul and his brothers were inseparable. If you messed with one of Paul’s brothers, you dealt with Paul. He was quick to bring a smile and joy to all his friends. Whether with his quick wit or deep insight, Paul knew just the right words to say.

Paul is survived by his parents Scott Cain and Penny Artman Cain; two brothers Wade and Cody; grandparents Tom and Jane Cain and Michael and Doris Waitt; uncles and aunts, Gerry and Kelly Barnes, Mark and Marylee Hagler, and Troy and Debby Artman; many cousins including Faith Henning, Levi Barnes, Nicole Cummings, Kayla Kin-naman, Matthew Hagler, Morgan Hagler, Mason Hagler, Alex Cain and Molly Moon. Paul is preceded in death by his great grandparents, John and Alice Artman, Floyd and Ruth Grindstead, grandfather William Artman, and uncles Mark Cain and Walter Payton.

Calling was held on Friday, May 11, 2018 at The Bi-ble Church, 1478 W. State Road 38, Sheridan. Funeral ser-vices were held on Saturday, May 12 at the Bible Church. A graveside service followed at Spencer Cemetery, 25873 N. County Line Road, Sheridan. Directly following the grave-side service, a celebration of life was held to honor Paul. Paul’s family appreciated everyone who stopped by, had a sandwich and smiled, cried, laughed and really celebrated the life of Paul Cain, Jesus loving, American Flag waving, steak eating, football cheering, rock ‘n roll jamming, son, brother, nephew, best friend anyone could ask for, a truly, deeply missed man.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking all donations be made to The International Essential Tremor Foundation in Paul’s name. Donations can also be made to the Paul Cain Memorial Fund via PayPal.

Russell Eugene Hash January 18, 1956 – November 12, 2017

A Celebration of Life for Russell Eugene Hash will be held at 10 a.m. on May 19 at Biddle Memorial Park (East Pavilion), Sher-idan. Please join us to celebrate the life of Russ, those he touched and the fingerprint he left in this world.

He was born in Indianapolis on January 18, 1956 and died on Novem-ber 12, 2017. He was the eldest son of William and Laquota Ann Hash. He was a 1974 graduate of Wain-

wright High School. Russ was a doting and adoring son to his mother, Ann. He was also a loving father to his only child, Rebekah Percival Clark, her spouse Troy and their three sons.

Russ was an easy going free spirit, who filled his life with many adventures and time spent with family. He traveled throughout the United States by plane, train and automobile always interested in the history and signif-icances of the many places he visited. He was a terrific bowler and avid reader who also spent many hours tinker-ing with trucks, cars and even his houseboat, bringing new life to old classics. He also enjoyed camping, fishing and being outdoors.

He was known in the family as the Dog Whisperer, always claimed to be running with the “wolf pack.” He loved all animals and would take time to connect with them. His beloved dog Bailey was his little shadow.

Russ could easily connect with people. He didn’t know a stranger. He was genuine, honest and always will-ing to offer a helping hand. He was known to do many acts of kindness for friends and strangers alike always with a smile. He was a gentle soul, with a huge heart and a great laugh.

Russ was a self-employed painter whose customers usually became friends. As one customer recently stated, “Russ will paint the heavens beautifully.”

Russ was actively involved in the lives of his nieces and nephews. He was a mentor, who was always there with sound advice and support. He really made an effort to be present in their lives and will be sorely missed.

To know Russ was to know his love of racing. As a young man, Russ, his brothers, and father had fun week-end nights racing the family stock car at the local tracks in Indiana. Throughout his life he followed many types of racing, but by far his biggest love was the spectacle of the Indy 500.

He is survived by his daughter Becky (Troy) Clark and grandchildren Justin, Thomas and Torry; his mother La-quota Ann Hash; his siblings Ron (Brenda), Randy (Bren-da), Rhonda and Rosey (Tim) Burton; five nephews, two nieces and two great nieces.

He is preceded in death by his father, William (Bill) Hash, his great nephew, Emerson Knox Hash, grand-parents Arthur and Golda Carver and Thomas and Leona Hash.

His family will grieve the loss of the beloved son, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Hamilton County Humane Society.

A12 Sports Week of May 14, 2018

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorSunday afternoon

marked a new beginning

for the Grand ParkEvents Center and theIndy AlleyCats.

The Events Center

hosted the first of fivehome games for theAlleyCats, Indianapolis'ultimate Frisbee team.The AlleyCats are a semi-professional team thatplay in the AmericanUltimate Disc League,and the team is makingGrand Park its home thissummer.

The AlleyCats wontheir debut game, whichtook place Sunday, 27-24over the Pittsburgh Thun-derbirds. The teamplayed in front of a crowdof about 150 people, notbad for a debut.

"Very great experi-ence," said AlleyCatsgeneral manager TimHeld. "The fans seem tolove it. Much more inti-mate setting than we hadbefore and I'm sure thatbar overlooking the fieldis a big hit."

Ultimate Frisbee haselements of football andbasketball in its rules.Teams try to score pointsby throwing a disc down-field, while beingguarded by an opposingteam. If a team catches adisc in the end zone, itgets a point.

One key rule is thatwhile players can run toposition themselves tomake a catch, they haveto stay put when theythrow the frisbee. Playersare allowed somemomentum steps aftermaking a catch, but oncethey have planted theirfeet, they can only pivotbefore making a throw.(A list of rules and termsfor ultimate frisbee arelocated at left.)

The AlleyCats hadbeen playing their gamesoutside on the campus ofRoncalli High School onIndianapolis' south side,so there was a little bit ofan adjustment going fromoutdoors to indoors. Butit wasn't unfamiliar to theteam.

"Back in the inauguralseason in 2012, theDetroit Mechanix playedin the old Pontiac Silver-dome," said AlleyCatsplayer Keenan Plew."And we actually played

the AUDL championshipgame there in 2012. Andone other game in the2013 season, there wasanother complex similarto this, just north ofDetroit.

"We had our originalscrimmages in hereearlier in the season, sowe had to acclimate tothe surroundings. It's notterribly different thanplaying outside, otherthan not having wind. Weknew that it'd be a littlebit longer game, pointswould be much shorter.Defense would be muchmore difficult just due tothe match that there's nowind to play against."

"It's interesting to saythe least," said AlleyCatscoach Eric Leonard. "Thegame was a lot morefast-paced. Throws thataren't really always avail-able outside are defi-nitely available here andso that's a double-edged

sword for us. Offense isa little easier, but we'retempted into some baddecisions."

The AlleyCats nevertrailed and were tied withPittsburgh only on a fewoccasions. The AlleyCatsled 8-6 after the firstquarter, 13-12 at halftimeand 19-17 after threequarters. During thefourth quarter, the teamheld a 25-21 advantagebefore Pittsburgh twoconsecutive scores, butthat was with under threeminutes left to go.

"Clearly a big differ-ence which everybodywill need to get used to isthe game will be a littlebit faster, a little bit morehigh-scoring, not dealingwith the wind," saidHeld. "The disc will betruer, but the playerscame through at the endand out-endured the otherteam."

As for indoor strate-

gy, Leonard said the teamwas able to stay "moredisciplined downfield,"and players had to stay ontheir men during theentire cut because Pitts-burgh was known formaking crossfieldthrows.

"Indoors that throw isa lot easier," said Leon-ard. "We got to stay tight.Overall not a ton ofadjustments, just playingtight man-to-man."

Plew had eight assists(throws into the endzone) for the AlleyCats,while Rick Gross madeseven assists, caught fourgoals and had two defen-sive plays, or "Ds." forthe game. Travis Carpen-ter scored six goals.

The AlleyCats are 6-1for the season and willplay their next game at 7p.m. Saturday, May 26,taking on the ChicagoWildfire at the GrandPark Events Center.
