Confidence has grown. Heads have lifted up. And even some of the students have become “kind of like a superstar in the school.”
That’s how Mark Booth describes members of Noblesville East Middle School’s Good Men’s Club.
One of those members is eighth-grader Dacota Hampton, who was a little shy but came out of his shell after being a part of the club. Hampton even auditioned for and was cast as Neleus, the statue in the park, in NEMS’s fall musical, “Mary Poppins Jr.,” in early November.
“He went from a kid who wasn’t barely participating in anything and mediocre grades, to a kid now who has super confidence and is all over the school, and he’s just built that confidence and self-esteem…,” Booth said. “Hopefully, it’s going to boost him going on his way as he heads over to the high school.

11/18/2018 Ball State baseball head coach Rich Maloney announced that eight student-athletes, including a local athlete have announced their commitment to the Cardinals for the 2019-20 academic year – Mac Ayres, Zach Cole, Cade Fitzpatrick, Tyler Hill, Devin Porter, Luke Schafer, Tyler Schweitzer and Adam Tellier.
This year’s additions feature four pitchers, two infielders, one outfielder and one catcher.
“We feel like we met all of the needs we had, but with guys who can become legitimate prospects,” Maloney said. “That’s what we are after in this program, trying to find guys who have aspirations to play at the next level. The other thing is we found a lot of guys who are solid academically. I think the balance between academics and athletics and the possibility of developing into professional baseball players is strong in this class.”
Schweitzer is a local product from Fishers. The left-handed pitcher went 3-1 with one save in nine appearances for Hamilton Southeastern High School a year ago.
“Tyler has a very good breaking ball and strong upside,” Maloney said.

11/16/2018 Indiana fifth-year senior J-Shun Harris II is one of 20 semifinalists for the second annual Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award.
Compiled by a subset of the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Selection Committee, the semifinalists have all demonstrated a record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship both on and off the field.
Three finalists will be named for the award on Monday, Dec. 10. The winner will be announced at the award ceremony on Feb. 12, 2018, at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
The award, presented by Albertsons and Tom Thumb, is the first college football honor to focus primarily on a player's leadership, both on and off the field. Leadership is a term synonymous with Jason Witten, who, in addition to becoming one of the best tight ends in the history of the sport and the Cowboys' all-time leading receiver, served as one of football's most prominent role models during his 15-year pro career. In addition to winning the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award in 2012, Witten also received the Bart Starr Award, Pro Football Weekly's Humanitarian of the Year Award, Home Depot NFL Neighborhood MVP and the Bob Lilly Award, among many others. All of those honors have recognized his work in the community, achievements on the field and dedication to his teammates and family.

11/9/2018 The tragedy in Rochester is unimaginable – three siblings dead and another seriously injured. These aren’t the only victims – their families, the bus driver and student witnesses, their schoolmates and teachers. The ripple effects touch everyone.
While all fingers point to the truck’s driver, a major culprit goes unrecognized – Indiana’s morning darkness. Sunrise on Oct. 30 was 8:15. The children were struck at 7:15. If Indiana was in its correct Central Time Zone it would have been light outside and the children would have been visible.
The solar divide between the Eastern and Central time zones runs 25 miles east of Columbus, Ohio. In mid-1960’s Indiana’s time zone was re-designated from Central to Eastern but it was the adoption of Eastern Daylight Time in 2006 that caused the major shift in our sunlight schedule forcing children all over Indiana to travel to school in the dark. Students have been robbed, injured and killed by vehicles, and raped in morning darkness.

11/5/2018 Dear Editor,
With November 6th just around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to say why I’m voting in support of Miller Yes.
Our Noblesville students/children deserve the brightest and most creative professionals our educational institutions have to offer. With neighboring districts in Hamilton County paying teachers $5,000-$15,000 more per year, I’m not surprised to see a teacher shortage in the past two years in our district.
Our teachers work tirelessly each day; concerned with appropriate grade curriculum, teaching lessons, making sure students aren’t falling behind in their coursework, classmate/friend disputes, etc.

11/5/2018 Dear Editor,
On November 6, 2018, the owners of Noble Industries plan to VOTE YES to the Noblesville Schools 2018 Operating Referendum Question.
Noble Industries has been in business since 1970 and typically we are ALWAYS for lower taxes. Lower business taxes help us create new jobs and continue to invest in new equipment and operational efficiencies. However without successful schools, the workforce suffers.
Paying teachers a competitive wage that matches or surpasses other school districts in the state and providing for the safety and security of our children are two areas in which we believe must be supported. We will trust that Superintendent, Dr. Beth Niedermeyer, the staff and School Board will act prudently and be frugal with the additional tax resources they are given.

11/17/2018 This year, one of my highlights has been moving my father from Arizona back to Noblesville, into my home. He has been kinda sorta MIA for about forty years. During that forty-year span, we have kept in touch, with emails, occasional phone calls, and visits now and then. We have missed each other, and I am glad to have him back.
This has been a year of transitions, moving, and blessings. The Spirit is well and alive, and full of surprises. John and I had downsized our home, readying for the next chapter of empty nesting and life out of politics. Recently, my youngest son moved back home from Kansas City, because of a job opportunity. He will be living with us temporarily, and giving me the joy of having a three generation home, under one roof. As an added bonus, I take care of two of my grandkids on Monday evenings overnight. So our Monday night home is technically a four generation home. My dad takes out his hearing aids.

11/17/2018 A neuroscientist at the University of California was posting photos of everything he ate on his Facebook page. The expression “feed your face,” took on a new meaning. This professor claimed that revealing your food choices to the world will motivate you to eat better.
Dr. Garcia included daytime snacks, late-night raids of the fridge, and even the doughnuts he had stuffed in his glove compartment. He had uploaded 9,000 pictures onto his Mac, which included a few dozen Big Macs, I might add.
I’m not sure this is a totally new idea. Unlike the good doctor, I’ve been uploading meals and then downloading them onto my dress shirts for more than 60 years. It is not uncommon for people to ask me about certain food choices I have posted on my clothing for all my friends to see…
“Looks delicious, Dick. Wasn’t that the special at the Olive Garden last week?”

Warner Sallman is an American born artist who was born in the late 19th century. He devoted much of his life to creating religious images that focused on Jesus Christ. Each of Sallman’s pieces is meant to provide a depth of religious value and bring a sense hope and comfort to the viewer. His most famous work is “The Head of Christ”, which he completed in 1941. The timing of this piece could not have been better as the world was in the early stages of World War II, and the U.S. would soon be entering the fight. This work would be printed in pocket size photos and handed out to the soldiers being shipped off to war to provide comfort and inspiration to many. There is a good chance that you have seen this picture as it has been printed hundreds of millions of times.
If you would like to see “The Head of Christ” and many more of Warner Sallman's original works then you can visit us at the Scheierman Gallery, located on Anderson University’s campus in Anderson, Indiana. We are open Tuesdays and Fridays from 1-4 p.m. or you can make an appointment to visit. We are closed during university breaks, which can be found on the Anderson University Academic Calendar, with exception to summer break when you can visit by appointment only. We look forward to seeing you!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
