No injuries in Beck’s Hybrids fire

Photo courtesy of Noblesville Fire DepartmentA fire at Beck’s Hybrids in Atlanta prompted the response of emergency personnel representing 17 fire departments on Friday. Fire departments were dispatched to at approximately 8 a.m. Fire officials indicated thousands of corncobs caught fire.

By STU CLAMPITTReadTheReporter.com

Friday morning at 8:09 a.m., Jackson Township Fire Department responded to a call about a dust explo-sion at Beck’s Hybrids Seed Company, 6767 E. 276th St., Atlanta, which led to a two-alarm fire with crews from 17 departments re-sponding.

The fire was located in a building that is used to pro-cess corncobs from waste products to a bedding prod-uct that is used for animals.

According to Jackson Fire Department Chief Jeff Muszar, there were no se-rious injuries, though one firefighter suffered a minor injury and was treated with-out hospital transport.

“What appears to have happened is that an un-known ignition source triggered a dust explosion

within the grinder system,” Chief Muszar told The Re-porter. “It caused a massive explosion within the build-ing and ignited all the dust in the building. It then ignit-ed all the hard assets within the building.”

The fire was widespread throughout the entire Beck’s warehouse.

According to Muszar, because of the amount of dust released with the ex-plosion it created a signifi-cant fire.

“We had to get into all the nooks and cran-nies of the building and the air handling system to get all of the dust and fire out,” Muszar said. “It was a complicated process be-cause literally every parti-cle of dust catches fire. We had 16 departments assist us, including Noblesville,

Carmel Clay Schools seeks funding for school safety

SubmittedCarmel Clay Schools is

one of the first school sys-tems in the state to take ad-vantage of the newly-passed Senate Bill 127, allowing school corporations to seek funds specifically for school safety initiatives.

This coming Tuesday, Carmel voters will get the opportunity to be some of the first in the state to par-ticipate in voting on the newly-passed bill.

While other schools in the county have passed ref-erendums in the last few

elections, none have specifically addressed school safety. Carmel de-cided it was time to address its in-adequate resourc-es when it comes to school safety, and quickly.

As a city, Car-mel continues to accumu-late accolades and recogni-tions, like one of its most recent by niche.com: ‘Best Place to Raise a Family in Indiana.’ However, in com-parison to other Hamilton

County schools, Carmel lags be-hind in number of SROs (student resource officers) in the schools and salaries of social workers.

“School Safe-ty is not just a priority in Carmel

Clay Schools, it’s a core val-ue. The importance of a safe, non-threatening learning environment is essential for students to learn and grow. The foundation of that envi-ronment is student and staff

safety.” said Dr. Michael Beresford, Carmel Clay Schools Superintendent.

If the referendum passes, one of the first actions the school will take is putting SROs in every school. Cur-rently, there are only three SROs shared between 14 el-ementary and middle schools for over 11,000 students.

Schools often see prog-ress when school safety can be addressed through a col-laborative effort between SROs, mental health services

Carmel seeks public input for park improvementsThe REPORTER

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) will host community meetings for Flowing Well, Carey Grove and Meadowlark Parks. These three parks will receive much-needed updates in 2020 as part of the Clay Township Impact Program. CCPR val-ues input and is seeking pub-lic participation through this interactive process.

CCPR staff and project consultants will present proposed improvements with sketches and sche-

matic designs for each park. There will be plenty of time for open feedback and dis-cussion.

“Several of our parks have served the com-munity well over the last 20 or so years. Now is the time to focus on how we can update and reimagine our parks to serve residents for years to come,” said CCPR Director Michael Klitzing. “These

upcoming public meetings provide opportunities to connect to our community and consider feedback from residents.”

Blazing trailsIt has been

my privilege to serve the Nobles-ville community during Mayor John Ditslear’s final term in of-fice. Six months ago, I announced to friends and co-workers that I planned to step down from my appointed position. Now, as we prepare for a new mayor to take office in January, I’d like to share some thoughts on some key successes our city has accomplished during these past four years.

Professionally, I’m looking forward to mov-ing on to a new challenge, where I can apply my public affairs and communications background to build com-munities in new and excit-ing ways. Personally, I will miss having a direct role in the completion of many No-blesville NOW initiatives that have only begun or are still in the planning stages.

Rather than slow down during his final term, Mayor Ditslear and team have made great progress and blazed trails (literally) on dozens of high priority initiatives since 2016. Below is a handful of initiatives I have had the honor of working on as well as others our city employ-

ees have achieved through their hard work, dedication and professional-ism:

• Securing the publ ic-pr ivate partnership for the Finch Creek Fieldhouse;

• Attracting 300 high-wage jobs with the BorgWarner Tech Center;

• Completing the west-ern leg of the Midland Trace Trail, the southern phase of the Levee Trail, and con-necting the Riverwalk from the White River Greenway Bridge to Southside Park;

• Opening Federal Hill Commons urban park and amphitheater, starting con-struction of Finch Creek Park and investing in im-provements for Forest Park, Southside Park and Semi-nary Park;

• Championing the Levinson downtown apart-ments and a 300-space parking garage now under construction;

• Setting in motion a new pilot to improve down-town parking with modern technology and better com-munication and outreach;

• Achieving a 36-percent drop in violent and property crimes;

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)

• Maintaining stellar re-sponse times for emergency medical services even as our population has contin-ued to grow with new resi-dential developments;

• Completing the fourth of five phases for the Long-Term Control Plan to re-move unwanted stormwa-ter from the sanitary sewer system;

• Building, resurfacing and maintaining miles and miles of new and existing roadway, and laying the groundwork for future in-frastructure projects such as the five roundabouts planned for State Road 32 and State Road 38.

In addition, I am very happy to report that Nobles-ville has made good on its promise to bring the trains back to Forest Park. Mean-while, the clean-up effort following the ITM’s depar-ture continues with a bright-er future on the horizon that

will be worthy of our city’s oldest park. And I hope ev-eryone will take the time to support the new Nickel Plate Express that is helping preserve our city’s railroad heritage and inspire a new generation of railfans.

For me personally, one of the most reward-ing initiatives has been representing the city with the Noblesville Diversity Coalition. Since forming in 2018, our coalition has stood up against acts of hate, and through sever-al public forums, inspired bold conversations with-in our schools, our homes – and with our upcoming training on implicit bias – within City Hall as well. Noblesville is stronger because of our diversity, and I look forward to what we can accomplish as we continue to grow in cele-brating and respecting all residents.

As we look now to the future, I’m truly excited to see the vision of the new administration come into focus. I believe no one is better suited than Chris Jensen to move Noblesville NOW forward. From ex-panding Pleasant Street to constructing a new Police Headquarters, I’m optimis-tic that many of the city’s long gestating projects will finally get underway before setting the new priorities that our growing communi-ty will surely demand.

I would like to thank everyone who has support-ed me in my role serving the city, who gave freely of your time to share an idea, a perspective, a criticism, an encouragement, a lesson. As I join my fellow citizens again, I will continue to use all that I’ve learned to help Noblesville blaze even more trails into the future.

See you on the square.

and proactive planning. This is the same approach that funds will be allocated if the referendum passes.

This referendum will not exceed $0.05 per $100

dollars of assessed value for property taxes. On Tuesday for Carmel voters, the ref-erendum will be at the top of the ballot, and the only question.

Westfield and Carmel.”Muszar called it a co-

operative effort involving Hamilton County, Tipton County and Madison Coun-ty fire departments coming together to manage and mit-igate this incident.

It took approximately three hours to get the fire under control, but crews were still on the scene in late afternoon.

The fire is still under investigation; however, it appears that the machine used to crush the cobs or a conveyer belt may have caused the fire that spread to a sophisticated dust collec-tion system located inside the building. A drone from

Hamilton County EMA was utilized throughout the fire which allowed the Incident Commanders to monitor heat conditions and target hot spots.

Westfield can continue to grow, without the ever increasing taxation, borrowing, and

spending that has become the status quo. We must practice sound fiscal policies, if we are

going to leave a positive legacy and affordable cost of living for our children.

Our fire department, police department, schools, and roads must grow in anticipation

of our population, not in knee-jerk response to it. Our first priority must always be the safety

of our residents, especially our children.

Change your clocks, change your batteriesThe REPORTER

Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 3.

The Carmel Fire Department encour-ages everyone to change the batteries in their own smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, test the alarms and remind friends, family, neighbors and fellow community members to do the same. With the peak time for home fire fatalities occurring between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most families are sleeping, this simple step can help save their lives and the lives of those around them. A working smoke detector is your first line of defense in a fire.

Also, as winter and colder weather ap-proaches, have your heating sources (chim-ney, fireplace, woodstove, furnace, heaters) properly inspected and serviced by a pro-fessional.

Tragically, fire can kill selectively. Those most at risk include:

• Children – On average, home fires kill 500 children ages 14 and under each year.

Roughly three-quarters of child fire fatali-ties under age 15 occurred in homes with-out working smoke alarms.

• Seniors – Adults 75 and older are 2.8 times more likely to die in a home fire.

• Low-Income Households – Many low-income families are unable to afford batteries for their smoke alarms. These same households often rely on poorly in-stalled, maintained or misused portable or area heating equipment – a main cause of fatal home fires.

The most commonly cited cause of non-working smoke alarms is worn or missing batteries. Smoke alarm mainte-nance is a simple, effective way to reduce home fire deaths. Children and senior citi-zens are most at risk, and a working smoke alarm can give them the extra seconds they need to get out safely.

Changing smoke alarm batteries at least once a year, testing those alarms and re-minding others to do the same are some of the simplest, most effective ways to reduce these tragic deaths and injuries. Addition-

ally, the International Association of Fire Chiefs recommends that smoke alarms in homes should be replaced every 10 years and having both ionization and photoelec-tric smoke alarms are best to alert people to all types of home fires.

If both types of smoke alarms or a com-bination alarm are not available, the Carmel Fire Department recommends photoelectric alarms with a 10-year lithium battery. The battery in this alarm never needs changed and the alarm needs to be replaced every 10 years.

Likewise, carbon monoxide detectors need to be replaced every seven to eight years. If you need assistance changing or testing your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, please contact your local fire department.

Thirty-one years ago, Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs recognized a disturbing trend that many home fire fatalities were taking place in homes without working smoke alarms. Please do your part in checking, changing

and testing your smoke detectors. Fire statistics were obtained from re-

ports by the Fire Analysis and Research Di-vision of the National Fire Protection Asso-ciation. See nfpa.org for more information.

The REPORTERThis week, Indiana At-

torney General Curtis Hill called upon a federal dis-trict court to delay consid-eration of a lawsuit against Indiana’s Healthy Indiana Plan, the state’s public health insurance program for the Medicaid expansion population, until after two other cases involving simi-lar issues are resolved.

In September, plaintiffs challenged certain aspects of the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) in the lawsuit Rose

v. Azar. Two other similar cases involving Medicaid programs in Arkansas and Kentucky are already pend-ing at the federal appellate level.

At issue in all three cases is whether the feder-al government may permit state Medicaid programs to require able-bodied unem-ployed individuals receiv-ing benefits to participate in job training, education or certain other community activities. In Indiana, this component of HIP is called Gateway to Work.

This week, the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced that it will temporarily sus-

pend disenroll-ments as part of the Gateway to Work program during the pend-ing legal chal-lenge. This deci-sion ensures that no one will be disenrolled from HIP because they do not participate in Gate-way to Work.

The Office of the In-diana Attorney General joined the U.S. Justice De-partment in a motion filed Thursday asking the district court to postpone its delib-erations.

“The FSSA’s announce-ment should remove any

pressure that might otherwise prompt the feder-al district court to act hastily,” Hill said. “Rather, the court has every opportunity to exercise patience and await the guidance of the

appellate court. This ap-proach would impose the fewest burdens on the State of Indiana and the individ-ual residents participating in HIP.”

TODAY’S BIBLE READINGSo after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Howard L. Hart April 3, 1927 – October 28, 2019

Howard L. Hart, 92, Fishers, passed away on Monday, October 28, 2019 at Grand Brook Memory Care in Fishers. He was born on April 3, 1927 to John and Hazel (Hatch) Hart in Chicago, Ill.

Howard proudly served his country in the United States Navy, where he served in the South Pacific during World War II. He was an engineering associate at Fermilab in Batavia, Ill., where he was instrumental in converting the Chicago Cyclatron Magnet from con-ventional to superconducting.

Westfield’s offense was in high gear in the first half, and that led the Sham-rocks to a stunning sectional semi-final win Friday night.

Westfield beat No. 7-ranked Fishers 42-14 in a Class 6A Sectional 4 semi-fi-nal game at Riverview Health Stadi-um. The ‘Rocks jumped ahead 28-0 by halftime and sailed through the second half to set up a sectional championship clash at Carmel next Friday.

The Shamrocks scored their first touchdown in the first quarter, with Ma-son Piening catching a pass from Cam-den Simons, then running it 64 yards into the end zone. That was merely a preview of the second period, where Westfield exploded for 21 points.

Patchett punched the ball in from the one-yard line just two minutes into the quarter. Micah Hauser was next, streak-ing 51 yards into the end zone with 7:47 left. Finally, Dane Wheeler grabbed a 22-yard pass from Simons and took it in for a touchdown. Sean Sullivan made all four extra-point kicks, and Westfield had its big halftime lead.

The Tigers got on the board with 3:55 left in the third quarter. Geoffrey Brown blocked a Shamrocks punt, and Joey Slimak recovered it, then blasted off 95 yards for the touchdown.

Westfield responded 41 seconds into the fourth quarter, as Patchett scored on a four-yard run. But Fishers got that one back just as quickly, with Marcus Roux tossing a three-yard TD pass to Jeffrey Simmons. Jack Phillips success-fully kicked the extra points after both scores.

The Tigers would get no closer, however. Hauser finished the scoring late in the fourth quarter with a 16-yard interception return for a touchdown. Sullivan kicked the extra points for both of Westfield’s second-half touch-downs, making him a perfect 6-of-6 for the game.

Simons had an efficient game, con-necting on 8 of 14 passes for 156 yards.

Wheeler caught five receptions, and Piening had the other three catches. Patchett led the rushing with 85 yards. David Frey led Westfield’s defense with nine tackles, while Benji Welch and Carson Voorhis both had seven stops.

Roux completed 16 of 31 passes for 171 yards. Dylan Scally led the Tigers’ rushing with 88 yards.

Westfield improved to 6-4 for the season, while Fishers finished the year 7-3.

Carmel won an all-county clash at Hamilton Southeastern on Friday to ad-vance to the Class 6A Sectional 4 cham-pionship game.

The Greyhounds beat the Royals 28-14 in a semi-final game at TCU Field. Carmel led 28-0 after three quarters, scor-ing all of its touchdowns on the ground.

Zach White got the first two scores on five-yard runs. White found the end zone midway through the first quarter, then made his way in to score with 7:33 left in the second. Christian Williams added the Greyhounds’ third touchdown later in the period, then John Rogers scored on a 35-yard run late in the third quarter. Spencer Hanna kicked all four extra points.

Southeastern fought to the end, scor-ing both of their touchdowns in the fourth period off passes from Andrew Hobson. Nathan Wolf caught a 10-yard TD throw with 5:25 left, then the Royals got the ball back seconds later and Ben Boysen grabbed a 34-yard pass and took it in for the score. Alex Geroulis kicked both ex-tra points.

Rogers led Carmel’s ground game with 67 yards rushing, with Dylan Down-ing gaining 65 yards. Williams completed 9 of 14 passes for 61 yards; Downing had four receptions.

Hobson had an outstanding game, completing 23 of 33 passes for 263 yards. DeAndre Rhodes had seven catches, with Boysen, Tony Myers and Wolf all making five receptions. Boysen led the rushing with 53 yards.

Carmel is 7-3 and hosts Westfield next Friday in the sectional champion-ship game. Southeastern finished its sea-son 5-5.

Carmel beats HSE to reach Sectional 4 final

Noblesville came close to a major up-set on Friday, as the Millers hosted unde-feated and No. 3-ranked Homestead in the semi-finals of Class 6A Sectional 3.

Noblesville held the lead for most of the game before the Spartans tied the score at 21-21 on the final play of regu-lation. That sent the game into overtime, where Homestead held off the Millers in their drive, then kicked a field goal to escape Beaver Materials Field with a 24-21 win.

“Homestead’s won a lot of football games,” said Noblesville coach Jus-tin Roden. “They’ve won a lot football games every year, so they just stay the course and they don’t lose faith. They made some plays at the very end that were the difference.”

Regardless of the result, the Mill-ers validated the fact that playing a tough schedule prepares a team for the post-season. Noblesville finished the season 1-9, but that was against the No. 1-ranked strength of schedule in Indiana, according to the Sagarin ratings.

The Millers scored first, when Jayden Barrett caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Alex Zavac to go up 6-0 in the first quarter. That would be the score into the second period, but Noblesville made it 13-0 with 5:41 left in the quar-ter. A fumble recovery was followed by a 57-yard touchdown run by Elijah Butler, and Grayden Addison kicked the extra point.

The Spartans scored on a touchdown pass before halftime, making the score 13-7 at the break. Neither team scored in the third quarter, and it would take until the 6:04 mark of the fourth to get points in that period. Homestead’s Ryan Burton punched it in from the one-yard line, and the Spartans led 14-13, their first lead of the game.

The Millers answered minutes later, when Butler ran into the end zone from five yards to score his second touchdown of the game. Barrett then made a two-

point conversion run, and Noblesville was up 21-14. But Homestead wouldn’t go away, and the Spartans tied it up on the final play of the fourth quarter with an eight-yard touchdown pass, then kicked the winning field goal in overtime.

“I thought tonight we were the better team,” said Roden. “I thought we were the more physical team.”

The coach credited Zavac with doing “a great job” in the game, saying that he “did a good job reading the offense to-

night. He had some great runs, put us in a position to win the game.”

“Elijah played well,” said Roden. “Jayden and those guys played well to-night.”

Butler finished the game with 162 rushing yards, while Zavac completed 5 of 11 passes for 32 yards, including the touchdown.

“The moral of this is, they represent-ed Noblesville very well tonight,” said Roden.

Guerin Catholic went toe-to-toe with one of the top offensive teams in the state on Friday.

The Golden Eagles battled visit-ing West Lafayette in the semi-finals of Class 3A Sectional 28 at the Eagles Nest, and had them tied at 31-31 late in the fourth quarter. But the No. 4-ranked Red Devils kicked a field goal with 1:46 left, and that was enough to send them past No. 10 Guerin Catholic 34-31.

The Golden Eagles scored first in the back-and-forth game, getting on the board after Luke Etchison kicked a field goal. West Lafayette responded with a quick touchdown run, and led 7-3 at the end of the first quarter.

Guerin took the lead back late in the second after Christian Gelov found Ber-nie McGuinness for a four-yard passing touchdown. That put GC up 10-7 with 1:33 left. But the Red Devils again an-swered, with a 16-yard pass play score, and they led 14-10 at halftime.

West Lafayette went up 17-10 af-ter making a field goal, but the Gold-en Eagles got within 17-16 after Gus Baumgartner punched in a touchdown from the one-yard line. The Red Devils scored late in the third to lead 24-16.

Guerin Catholic tied the game up with 8:06 left in the fourth two passes from Gelov to McGuinness. The first was a three-yard touchdown throw, then the duo was successful on a two-point conversion throw. But West Lafayette’s explosive offense went back up right away, as Cannon Melchi took the kickoff return 85 yards to score.

Gelov threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Nick Demas, and Etchison made the extra-point kick to tie the game at 31-31, and that would be the score until the Red Devils’ game-winning field goal.

Gelov had an incredible game, com-pleting 25 of 37 passes for 238 yards. McGuinness was just as outstanding, making 14 receptions. Baumgartner led the rushing with 97 yards.

The Golden Eagles finished the sea-son 6-5.

By KYLE GRANDCourtesy nba.com/pacersThe Pacers have now won two in a

row after knocking off the Cleveland Cavaliers in Bankers Life Fieldhouse, 102-95. Defense and rebounding have been issues so far this season, but that was not the case tonight, as Indiana out-rebounded Cleveland and held them to under 40 percent shooting en route to the victory.

But by no means was this one easy for the home team. Indiana and Cleveland were in a close battle well into the fourth quarter. In the final period, the Pacers led by four, 72-68, before going on a 10-3 run to lead 82-71 with 7:46 to play.

But the Cavaliers continued to hang around. With 3:48 to go, Indiana's lead was just nine, 89-80.

Fortunately, the Pacers were up for any type of late Cavaliers rally and held off the visitors each and every time it seemed like they were threatening. Lead-ing by six, Jeremy Lamb scored four straight to push the lead to 10, 95-85, with just 2:07 to play.

Cleveland would get within six a few more times, but the Pacers were able to put the game away at the free-throw line.

Outrebounding Cleveland 57-46 was a huge part of tonight's win.

“We just did a nice job," Pacers head coach Nate McMillan said of the team's rebounding. "I said the same thing to our guys, we haven’t won the rebounding game all season long, they dominated us last game, had 12 offensive rebounds. To-night we dominated the boards."

“I feel like in the last game we didn’t

come out with that much energy and they beat us badly on the boards, so Coach re-ally put an emphasis on it tonight," Pac-ers center Domantas Sabonis added. "We came out tonight and everybody did their job.”

Indiana didn't get out to a great start tonight. Cleveland controlled the game in the early going, as it led by six, 21-15, at the 3:25 mark. At the end of the opening quarter, the Cavaliers were out in front 26-19.

The Pacers' second unit performed well to start the second quarter. They out-scored the Cavs 10-3 to give Indiana a 29-28 lead with 9:04 left in the half.

The tone set by the second unit con-tinued throughout the quarter. The start-ers kept up the momentum, and when the period was said and done, the Pacers had

scored 23 points to Cleveland's 11 and led 42-37.

In the third, Indiana increased its lead to as much as eight, but wasn't able to pull away. The Pacers led by seven, 68-61, heading into the final quarter, where they were able to keep the Cavs at bay for their second win of the season.

Sabonis finished with a double-dou-ble of 18 points and a career high 17 rebounds to lead Indiana. Malcolm Brogdon had another nice game with 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Off the bench, Goga Bitadze made an impact with 10 points and nine rebounds.

Cleveland was led by 22 points and 17 rebounds from Kevin Love and 20 points from Jordan Clarkson.

Defense, rebounding lead Pacers past Cavs
