Hundreds of kids from Hamilton County will have new bicycles this holiday season thanks to a collaboration between Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County and the Recycled Cycles team of repair folks.
Recycled Cycles is a Westfield nonprofit that recycles bicycles year-round. It’s made up of a diverse group of local repairmen who inspect donated bicycles and put them in good working order for children, youth and adults who might not be able to afford a bicycle, even a used one.
In a 1,900-square-foot pole barn donated for their use in Westfield, volunteers work many mornings repairing and refurbishing donated bicycles so that others can reuse and enjoy them.

12/15/2018 When Alaska Airlines Flight 55 touched down around 9 a.m. on October 20 at Prudhoe Bay Airport, 66-year-old Fishers resident Gregg Schmidt became just the 60th person to reach every single one of the 3,142 counties and county equivalents in the United States.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Schmidt has been to all 92 counties in Indiana, all 254 counties in Texas, all 159 counties in Georgia and every other county in every other state across the nation. Just six women and 54 men have completed and documented the feat.

12/8/2018 Dear Editor,
As Christmas approaches, this time of year should be a lot more than twinkling lights, mistletoe and presents wrapped up in pretty bows. This time of year causes some of us to sit back and reflect upon what is really important in this life. Everyone has a different opinion about what the most important thing in life is. For myself and many caregivers, it is time, and the gift of time with those we love.
My husband and I were married on March 9th of this year, shortly after we learned that he had a benign brain tumor. On March 12th the doctor’s removed most of the tumor but found that it was indeed malignant. Our lives and the lives of those close to us changed immediately. My husband and I began concentrating not only on what we could do to extend the quantity of his life but the quality of his life was of up most importance.

12/7/2018 Dear Editor,
Been working with Joe Arrowood for quite a few years now, and cannot think of a more dedicated individual to Noblesville than Joe. The Santa Sleigh (pictured), which is displayed next to Santa’s House, is put up each year by Joe and his elf helpers on the court house square. That includes his wife, Jo Ellen. It’s put up for the season and all the local kids. They put up, take down, store, and repair the sleigh display every year.
This is a family that loves our city, and gives a lot of hours every year to the city’s events. I have worked with Joe many years in the Kiwanis and Lions Clubs. I can’t think of anyone more dedicated to a city, and kids causes than Joe and Jo Ellen Arrowood. Merry Christmas and Thanks to a loving family!

11/30/2018 Dear Editor,
I’m a resident of Noblesville and I’m feeling so proud of our community tonight. We just returned from the Colts versus Dolphins Game, with a Colts victory! Also tonight, our Noblesville West Middle School West Side Sound performed the National Anthem to kick off the game. As a parent of one of the performers, I couldn’t help but feel many emotions but I couldn’t wait to hear from my daughter about her feelings of the experience.
“The Colts Staff were very welcoming, encouraging and fed us lunch,” she said. My daughter continued to say, “singing our country’s National Anthem in front of thousands of people, was such an honor and something I’ll never forget. We represented our show choir, school and community. Ella Whistler also performed with the Colts Cheerleaders, which was so great to see her doing so well and having fun!”

12/17/2018 There is no doubt that antibiotics have saved millions of lives. But, is it all good news? I hope our readers have been noting the increasing number of news stories related to problems with the overuse of antibiotics and the development of resistant bacteria. We have known this was coming since Alexander Fleming (the discoverer of penicillin) warned of it in his Nobel Prize speech in 1945, but it has now reached a tipping point. Dr. Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer of the United Kingdom, has equated the critical health threat of antibiotic resistance to the risk of terrorism.
Each year in the United States two million people are infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and 23,000 die.

12/15/2018 Walking through Janus Developmental Services, visitors can easily see the good that’s happening there.
Janus, located on the west side of Noblesville, provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to participate and contribute within the community. Janus provides job training for people with developmental disabilities through sheltered employment in a controlled environment. Clients earn an hourly wage, according to their productivity.
Friday, I wrote about Janus’ partnership with the Noblesville First United Methodist Church in presenting a Festival of Music and Arts on Sunday evening at the church.
Today, I’m focusing more about Janus.

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.
