Tom Wood Volkswagen Noblesville

I was born and raised right here in Noblesville. I grew up in a home without domestic violence or assault – it wasn’t something I saw, or even heard about. But when I was introduced to Prevail of Central Indiana, I was shocked by the number of individuals who are affected by domestic violence. In 2018 alone, Prevail helped more than 4,000 clients in Hamilton County. (Nearly 80 percent of clients are women and children.) Domestic violence and abuse are hard topics to discuss, so you don’t often hear about them. But at Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville, we’re breaking the taboo and raising awareness for Prevail, an organization that helps families in Hamilton County. – Mike Bragg, GM of Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville

To help Hamilton County families affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse, you can donate the following items:

• Art supplies (for children to journal and express their emotions)

• Bottled water (8 oz. bottles, preferably) • Individually packaged snacks • Gas cards (many women have no access

to funds after fleeing their abuser)

Drop off items at Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville, 14701 Tom Wood Way.

The REPORTERNoblesville Schools

announced Tuesday the ap-pointment of Erin Rood and Amy Roberts as co-direc-tors of special education for the district, replacing for-mer director Mark Booth.

Rood will oversee ele-mentary special education and Roberts will oversee secondary. The new co-di-rector format eliminates the assistant special education director position and rebal-ances the salaries of the for-mer roles to avoid increased staffing and personnel costs.

Rood, who holds a mas-ter’s degree and exceptional needs licensure in special education from Ball State University, is the district’s assistant director of special

education and is currently serving as interim direc-tor. Prior to her role with Nobles-ville Schools she was the special education direc-tor for Sheridan Schools and a for-mer special edu-cation teacher.

Roberts cur-rently serves as the assistant di-rector of special services for Car-mel Clay Schools and prior to that served for 10 years as the as-sistant special education director at Avon Community Schools. She

also holds a mas-ter’s degree and exceptional needs licensure from Ball State Uni-versity.

“Erin and Amy are both highly-qualified, well-respected, compassionate leaders,” said No-blesville Schools Associate Su-perintendent Dr. Dave Mundy. “I’m confident they will be a strong team in providing our stu-dents, staff and families excep-

tional support, service and guidance.”

Shaffer: New year, same old debtDear Editor:Carmel residents greeted the New

Year learning the city had paid $69.2 mil-lion on its debt, lowering the total out-standing debt to $1.3 billion from $1.4 billion, according to data filed with the Indiana Department of Local Govern-ment Finance (IDLGF).

Good news as a one-time shot. Taking the longer view, using ILDGF data since 2011, tax revenues have increased 83 per-cent and debt has increased 53 percent.

In November, the mayor told would-be lenders that the city debt principal was $881.3 million with $158 million more as Carmel's "overlapping debt" on bor-rowing by the county, the schools and the library.

Oh, and there's another $258 mil-lion on the wish lists for city, township, schools and library projects.

Happy New Year.Bill ShafferCarmel

Alice Lee Turner Scurlock May 3, 1925 – January 4, 2020

Alice Lee Turner Scurlock, 94 years young, passed away on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at Grand Brook Memory Care in Zions-ville. She was a lifelong Tarheel, born on May 3, 1925 to William Alman Turner Jr. and Dovie Morado (Hunt) Turner in Creedmoor, N.C. Alice was delivered at home by the family’s country doctor. She was one of the Greatest Generation and grew up with meager resources but a great fervor

for high standards. Work ethic, responsibility and com-mitment to excellence were her mantras, sprinkled with an enormous capacity to love her children, family and friends.

Alice graduated from Wilton High School in Creed-moor in 1943, and shortly thereafter, married a dashing Army officer, Chester Carlyle Scurlock. Higher educa-tion came as a result of living in Salzburg, Austria, for five years immediately following WWII, where Alice, her husband and two daughters resided at the Hotel Osterre-ichischer Hof. On returning to the U.S. after the war, she worked as a service representative in Durham, N.C., for General Telephone Company, retiring after 35 years of ex-emplary service.

Alice was a good and faithful servant and a devoted member of Holloway Street Baptist Church and the First Baptist Church in Durham, N.C., for many years, and lat-er the Landmark Baptist Church in Creedmoor, N.C. She was a remarkable woman, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend with an unparalleled love for her faith and her family. Her skills as a seamstress were beyond compare, and she excelled at cooking and gardening. She loved to read, and her Bible was the ultimate source of her strength and guidance. Interesting and interested, she was a won-derful companion to everyone she met. Anyone who knew her can attest that everything she accomplished in life was done to perfection.

Alice is survived by her daughter, Sandra Carlyle Lynch; granddaughter, Amanda Marie (Robert) Moran; and great-grandchildren, Isaiah John London, Ty Da-vid Moran, Aidan Riley Moran, Sophia Ahmed, Joshua Ahmed, Michaela Youngs and Tommy Grace; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Hilda Mae Turner Young, Billy Thompson Turner, Sr., Annie Katherine Turner Ross and Jack Lin-wood Turner; daughter, Joan Anita Scurlock Koole; and granddaughters, Kathryn Michelle Ahmed and Heather Lea Tewell.

The family would like to thank Alice’s loving friends, neighbors and family caregivers who made it possible for her to remain in her home in North Carolina until late 2018 – JoAnn Holding, Tonya Moss and Josette Cooper of Creedmoor, N.C., and Brenda Tewell of Durham, N.C. They were a gift from God and will never be forgotten.

Visitation will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, January 13, 2020 at Second Presbyterian Church, 7700 N. Me-ridian St., Indianapolis, with services following at 2 pm. Pastor Chris Henry will officiate. Burial will be at Summit Lawn Cemetery in Westfield.

The REPORTEROn Wednesday, Ham-

ilton County Auditor Robin Mills filed to run for re-election. Mills is cur-rently serving her third term as County Au-ditor. She was first elected County Auditor in 2000.

“I am a life-long resident of Hamilton County. I love my job, my hometown and serving the people of Hamilton County and I want to continue to be a part of its growth and suc-cess,” said Mills.

Mills has been serv-ing the citizens of Ham-ilton County for almost 40 years, two decades of which have been with the Auditor’s Depart-ment. Every year that Mills has been a part of the Auditor’s Depart-ment, Hamilton County has received the “Certif-icate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial

Reporting” from the Gov-ernment Finance Officers Association.

Her mission remains the same: Pro-viding transpar-ency, efficiency and accessibil-ity to everyone who calls Ham-ilton County home.

“Everything that is done in the Auditor’s

Department is founded on the concept of excel-lence,” said Mills. “This philosophy, along with the dedicated staff with-in the department, is why the Hamilton County Au-ditor’s Department has consistently received the “Excellence in Financial Reporting” certificate over the past 20 years. I am running for re-election to continue building upon the legacy of excellence that is the Hamilton Coun-ty Auditor’s Department. The individuals who live, work and visit the county, deserve nothing less.”

TODAY’S BIBLE READINGJesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

A large crowd gathered in the Hamil-ton Southeastern gymnasium Wednesday night to watch the Mudsock wrestling meet between the Royals and Fishers, and the crowd got its money’s worth.

Southeastern won the meet and the Mudsock Trophy 41-30. The Royals won nine of the 14 matches, but the Tigers kept within striking distance by winning all five of their matches by pin.

“It was very exciting,” said Southeast-ern coach Nick Brobst. “Good to have a lot of people here to watch us compete. It’s always fun.”

The Royals won the first two matches to go up 9-0, starting with a pin from Jake Lemieux at 138 pounds. Reece Luhmann, ranked 10th in the state at 145 pounds, won his match in a 5-4 decision.

Zach Willard got Fishers on the board with a pin in the 152-pound bout, cutting HSE’s lead to 9-6. The Royals rebound-ed, winning the next three matches. The run started with a pin from Ryan Cast at 160 and a major decision from Ronan Hiner at 170. Max Broom’s decision win at 182 put Southeastern up 22-6.

But the Tigers made things interest-ing by getting back-to-back pins at 195 and 220. Wyatt Holley won the 195 bout, then JD Farrell got a second-period fall at 220. Farrell is ranked fourth in the state at 195 pounds, but moved up to the higher weight class for this meet.

Southeastern responded right back: Second-ranked Andrew Irick needed less than a minute to get a pin at 285 pounds, then Mat Benson won the 106 match by fall.

Thirteenth-ranked Griffin Ingalls gave Fishers another pin, the quickest one of the night at 40 seconds, in the 113-pound bout. But 15th-ranked Jake Simone clinched the meet for the Royals by win-ning the 120-pound match by a 17-6 ma-jor decision. That gave Southeastern a 38-24 lead with two matches left. Zach Strueder picked up Fishers’ fifth pin at 126 pounds and HSE’s Gage Lloyd fin-ished the meet with a decision victory at 132 pounds.

Brobst gave credit to Fishers saying

the Tigers “came out ready to roll.” “Honestly, we thought we would win

by a little bit more,” said Brobst. “And some matches that we had circled, ‘Hey, we are probably going to win that,’ didn’t go our way.”

“I think our guys are coming along,” said Fishers coach Frank Ingalls, who called the dual a “good, hard-fought match. We just got a lot of work to do. I feel like we keep getting closer and clos-er. We’ll see next year.”

The two teams will likely have match-es together next Saturday, Jan. 18, when they travel to Noblesville for the Hoosier Crossroads Conference meet. Before that, the Royals will compete at the North Cen-tral Invitational this coming Saturday and head to Lawrence North next Wednesday for a dual. Fishers competes in a dual on Tuesday at Pendleton Heights.

The Fishers girls basketball team took on a tough New Palestine team Wednesday at the Tiger Den, and held off the Dragons 56-50.

New Pal gave Class 4A No. 4 Fishers a good battle, but a fourth quarter run got the Tigers out of trouble and kept them undefeated for the season at 16-0.

“We have talked about the fact that we are going to get everybody’s best game,” said Fishers coach Lauren Votaw. “We’re going to get everybody’s best game plan, we’re going to get their best game when they face us.”

“What we’re getting out of it is hope-fully learning where we still need to get better,” said Votaw. “We talk a lot about ‘Good, better, best. Never let it rest until your good is your better and your better is your best.’”

The Dragons led the Tigers 13-10 af-ter the first quarter, but a 20-point sec-ond period put Fishers ahead 30-28 at halftime. Katie Howard helped out with three 3-pointers in the first half.

New Palestine held a 40-38 lead after three quarters. The game remained close until midway through the fourth, when Fishers went on a 7-0 run to take a 51-43 lead. Audra Emmerson hit a 3-point-er, Olivia Smith made a layin and Katie Burton hit two free throws. While New Pal continued to fight until the end, the late run gave the Tigers the separation they needed.

Burton led Fishers with 16 points, while Emmerson scored 10.

Votaw said one thing the Tigers take from these close games is confidence. “We found a way,” she said.

Fishers will host North Central, which is tied for 10th in the 4A rankings, on Saturday.

By WHEAT HOTCHKISSCourtesy nba.com/pacersThe Pacers got good news on Wednes-

day, as All-Star guard Victor Oladipo announced his plans to make his season debut in three weeks after a full calendar year of rehabbing his ruptured right quad tendon.

Unfortunately for Pacers fans, they were still shorthanded on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat. Starting point guard Malcolm Brogdon joined his future backcourt mate Oladipo in street clothes at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, miss-ing his fourth straight game due to lower back soreness.

The duo could only watch as the Heat (27-10) handled the undermanned Pacers (23-15), 122-108.

The Heat led by 13 at halftime and blew the game open in a wild third quar-ter in which the Pacers lost another start-er when small forward T.J. Warren was ejected after multiple incidents with Mi-ami's All-Star swingman, Jimmy Butler.

In the end, it was a disappointing re-sult for the Pacers, who started the year 15-3 at home but have dropped two straight at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

"I just don't think we had enough en-ergy throughout most of the game," Pac-

ers forward Justin Holiday said after the game. "They played very, very well as a team, moved the ball very well, and we didn't...We have to play a full 48 minutes. We have to have a certain energy and a certain assertiveness about ourselves and we didn't have that tonight."

The two teams were tied at 11 after Jeremy Lamb's 3-pointer at the 7:29 mark in the first quarter before the Heat reeled off eight unanswered points. The visitors would not relinquish the lead for the re-mainder of the night.

After setting up his teammates with four assists earlier in the quarter, Butler hit four straight shots to score Miami's final eight points of the first quarter and give the Heat a 31-23 lead entering the second.

Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis did his best to keep Indiana in Wednesday's game in the first half. The 6-11 Lithua-nian tallied 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting, eight rebounds, and five assists in 16 min-utes to power the Pacers' offense.

Still, the Heat maintained a multi-pos-session lead throughout the second quar-ter, extending their advantage all the way to 13 points before the break.

The Heat broke the game open early in the third quarter. Miami scored the first

five points of the frame and continued to build its lead from there.

The visitors had a 79-56 lead with 6:29 remaining in the third quarter when Warren was whistled for a foul for grab-bing Butler's arm as he drove.

That set in motion a wild sequence, as Butler immediately jumped in Warren's face and the two exchanged words. They were quickly separated by their team-mates but kept yelling at each other all the way from their respective benches. After a replay review, both players were assessed technical fouls.

Immediately after play resumed, But-ler was called for an offensive foul for lowering his shoulder into Warren's chest. Warren responded by clapping in Butler's ear after the call and was subsequently whistled for a second technical and eject-ed.

The sequence lit a fire under the crowd, who booed Butler vociferously the rest of the night. Indiana mounted a minor charge after Butler's technical free throw, with Aaron Holiday and Lamb hit-ting back-to-back 3-pointers to trim the deficit to 18.

But Miami responded with eight straight points to squash any hopes of a potential Pacers rally. The Heat took a

commanding 100-72 lead into the fourth quarter and cruised to victory.

"We didn't establish anything," Pacers head coach Nate McMillan said. "They dominated from the start to the finish."

Sabonis led Indiana with 27 points on 10-of-13 shooting, 14 rebounds, and six assists in the loss. Justin Holiday added 14 points off the bench, going 5-for-7 from the field and 3-for-5 from 3-point range.

Aaron Holiday, starting at point guard in place of Brogdon, finished with 14 points and five assists. Lamb and Ed-mond Sumner scored 13 points apiece.

Bam Adebayo led Miami with 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting, nine re-bounds, and four assists. Derrick Jones Jr. tallied 18 points and seven rebounds off the bench, while Butler added 14 points, six boards, seven assists, and two steals.

The Heat had seven players score in double figures and hit 16 3-pointers in the win, with Tyler Herro (19 points and sev-en rebounds) knocking down five triples and Duncan Robinson (17 points and five assists) drilling four.

The Pacers will head to Chicago to take on the Bulls on Friday, then will re-turn to Indianapolis to host the Philadel-phia 76ers on Monday evening.

Heat handle undermanned Pacers

Westfield picked up a win on the road Wednesday, beating Bishop Chatard 52-42.
