Watching Noblesville Lions Club’s dodgeball tournament this month got me reminiscing about elementary school.
Dodgeball was one of my favorite activities in grade school. But I wasn’t very good at it. And I surely wouldn’t have the courage to play on a team, in front of anybody I know.
I applaud the 14 teams -- nine in the recreational league and five in the competitive league -- that played in the Lions’ tournament in front of a cheering audience of friends, families and coworkers.
Even though every team wanted to win for the bragging rights, they all had a great time raising money for Lions’ charities.
The tournament, in its second year, netted about $7,000, an increase of $2,000 over the first year, event organizer Dave Marsh said this weekend. The $5,000 raised from the 2018 tournament was used to support 31 different charities of the Noblesville Lions.

3/25/2019 The City of Carmel Street Department has issued a list of paving projects for the 2019 summer construction season. Proper street maintenance is important to keep drivers safe, reduce damage to vehicles on the road, to keep commerce flowing and help keep property values high.
Improvements to streets around the city have already begun. Many of the primary thoroughfares will be paved at night (between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.) in order to be less disruptive for drivers. Streets within subdivisions will be paved during regular work hours.
“It is important to be reminded of the community’s need for these projects in order to keep our infrastructure well maintained. The quality of our streets is one of the many factors that make Carmel such a wonderful place to live and work. It is vital to our small business community, which relies on a good roadway network to get products and customers to their places of business. Repairing and maintaining our streets not only reduces damage to vehicles, but also enhances property values and makes our community safer,” said Mayor Jim Brainard.

3/25/2019 On Thursday, the City of Westfield announced a third consecutive year in which its crime rate decreased. This is among the key findings in the Westfield Police Department 2018 Annual Report.
“As a community, we can measure success in many ways and the safety and security of our community is the most important,” said Mayor Andy Cook. “Creating a safe community for our families is a priority in Westfield. The fact that our crime rate has gone down three years in a row while our population has gone up is a testament to the professionalism and commitment of the Westfield Police Department.”
“I am so proud of the men and women of our team,” said Westfield Police Chief Joel Rush. “Their hard work and commitment to professionalism shows in the service they provide each day. We love serving the people of Westfield and appreciate the overwhelming support we receive.”

3/24/2019 The Carmel Greyhounds (26-1) took on the Ben Davis Giants (20-8) in the IHSAA 4A State Finals on Saturday night. The Greyhounds — who were determined to avenge their loss in last year’s state title game against Warren Central — took home their fourth state title in boys basketball after outscoring the Giants 60-55 in a game that was watched by 12,908 fans in attendance at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. A total of 22,476 fans were in attendance between the four class championship games on Saturday.
The win marks the 149th state title in the history of Carmel High School athletics.
Carmel started four seniors and one freshman in the 4A championship game, including: seniors John Michael Mulloy, Karsten Windlan, Luke Heady, Andrew Owens, and freshman Peter Suder.
Carmel’s scoring was led by freshman Peter Suder who finished with 14 points. He also managed seven rebounds, three steals and three assists. Senior John Michael Mulloy added 13 points and six boards. Seniors Karsten Windlan and Andrew Owens added 11 and 10 points respectively.

3/23/2019 Hoosier Basketball Magazine has released its list of Top 60 senior boys’ basketball players for 2018-2019. These boys were selected from approximately 1,500 senior players statewide. Honorees will have the opportunity to attend a special ‘Top 60 Senior Workout’ at Marian University in Indianapolis on Sunday, March 31.
Among the 60 honorees were eight Hamilton County players, although, only two will participate in the Top 60 Workout: Noblesville’s Zack Johnson and Westfield’s Zack Banks. HSE’s Noah Smith is out with an injury and unable to participate and HSE’s Aaron Etherington is listed as unable to attend. All four players who made this list from Carmel are also on the ‘unable to attend list’—presumably due to the fact that they are set to play in the IHSAA State Championship game today.

3/25/2019 Dear Editor,
It is difficult to think about citizens marching in our streets wearing the sheets and hoods of the Klan and burning crosses next to the courthouse square, but perhaps it's time to stop pretending it didn't happen. It’s time to stop worrying about being embarrassed by the actions of family or neighbors who, for a variety of reasons, joined this white supremacist movement in our hometown in the 1920s. It’s time to make Klan records discovered over two decades ago open to the public.
When I first heard about the discovery of the Klan records, I also read why membership lists had been restricted....

3/23/2019 Dear Editor,
In the lead-up to the 2019 Indiana General Assembly session, the board of directors of our organization established a policy position calling for a meaningful bias crimes bill – with the top priority of removing Indiana from the list of five states without such legislation.
That position has not changed. The need to pass a bias crimes law because it is the right thing to do has not changed. What does have more clarity today is what it will take to exit the likely shrinking list of five. That requirement is an enumerated list of protected categories, which is missing from the bill the Senate passed or the proposal the House majority caucus had previously indicated it prefers...

3/13/2019 Dear Editor,
This letter is primarily addressed to non-Christians, who may read the ‘Joy in the Journey’ column each week and get the impression that all Christians agree with and believe what they read there.
There are many of us who believe that God's plan for man, is far superior to what man thinks is the right way to live. He knew that a man's attributes and a woman's attributes, combined in marriage, create the perfect foundation for a home and family.
We believe God's Word is His owner's manual for the human race. He shows us the right way to live and warns us of the dangers of the wrong ways.

3/25/2019 Vice President Mike Pence says the left uses euphemisms and catchphrases to describe their progressive agendas. Pence told the recent CPAC gathering in the nation’s capital: "Bernie [Sanders] has been joined by a chorus of candidates and newly elected officials who have papered over the failed policies of socialism with bumper-sticker slogans and slick social-media campaigns."
The reason they use shorthand to describe socialism is that it would scare the pants off of those millennial Democrats and even some seasoned party apparatchiks if the truth be told. And, the truth is historic fact: socialism is the gateway drug that’ll hook you on the stronger stuff, namely Communism, if you let it.

3/23/2019 Humor is helpful in combating stress, but I believe grumpiness has it virtues, as well. In this column, I will outline for you the things that make me grouchy. They might be small, insignificant annoyances, but those are the best ones to get cranky about. I save humor for when I really need it.
I am tired of my Facebook notifications telling me things like: Suzanne Crowder has commented on Joe Rosen’s post about Bill Roman’s meme. I don’t know Suzanne and I have no clue who Joe and Bill are. How annoying is that? No comment.
I can go into the dollar store and buy 50 zip-lock bags for a buck, but the cheapskates at Post and General Mills can’t find a lousy two cents to put their Cheerios and Wheaties into a re-sealable plastic pouch inside their cardboard boxes. The only individuals who think the current packaging is just fine are tiny black ants.

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.
