The REPORTERA 30 year veteran law enforcement

officer, Eddie Moore, officially filed his candidacy for Sheriff on Wednesday, in-creasing the field of candidates to four.

A statement from Moore's campaign team read, "Eddie Moore, M.Ed. and friends completed paperwork to enter the race for Hamilton County Sheriff. Eddie has been a deputy for the county law en-forcement agency since July of 1987 and currently serves as a Lieutenant in the pa-trol division. His vast experience has been represented not only through time, but also in the variety of positions he has been en-trusted. This, combined with his academic studies in organizational leadership, pro-vides him with the leadership perspective other candidates don't exhibit. This enables him to be able to lead the agency and com-munity in the changes coming and needed to stay ahead of crime and safety issues facing ALL Hamilton County residents, visitors and businesses."

MemoryIt is so easy

to take so many things for grant-ed and then one day . . . they are gone. During my life, I was athletic and an A student. I was blessed with a fantastic athlet-ic ability, and I was fortunate to have a decent brain; however, I primarily studied a lot to help my brain. I was fortunate to play on three state cham-pionship teams in high school — two in golf and one in basketball.

I was fortunate to take those skills to college and played two sports — basket-ball for two years and golf for four years. When I was in college, I also double ma-jored in Accounting and Finance at Indiana University and still carried a 3.6 GPA.

Now I am in the real world and due to cancer, I am getting a first-hand opportu-nity to really appreciate just how fortunate it is to be healthy. We all take the simple things for granted — at least I did. That all changes when you suddenly have to “fight for the basic fundamentals”.

The positive thing about my disease is that I truly believe that meds are being made on a daily basis that will help me live for a good amount of time. The biggest is-sue with these meds is that they all seem to come with plenty of side effects . . . In my opinion, that is the true battle. I take a chemo pill on a daily basis that keeps my

Fishers fire station has mold, apparatus and personnel moved

The REPORTERFishers Fire and Emergency Services

has announced a temporary change in the apparatus location from fire station 92, located on 116th Street and Brooks School Road. Mold has been identified in the station and that concern has led Fire Chief Orusa to move the firefight-ers from the atmosphere until the mold has been removed for the safety of their personnel.

Until repairs are completed, Ladder 392 will be moved to Station 96 locat-ed on 104th Street and Florida Road. Engine 392 has been moved to Station

95 located on 131st Street and Promise Road. Officials believe this is a short-term solution that will create a minimal response issue for the community while protecting firefighters’ safety.

Testing results due back in the next 48 to 72 hours will give more specific information on the type and extent of the mold, as well as options to mitigate it. Should this become a substantial repair, plans are already in place to move al-ternate housing in so we can return fire-fighters and apparatus to their district as soon as possible.

Currently, air quality monitoring

shows the sleeping quarters to be great-er in mold spores than is “typical” in a building, while outside the sleeping area, readings are “normal” or “typical.”

Remediation has already begun on the bunk room. The spore readings have reduced in the 24 hours of initial action. When testing shows it is safe to return firefighters to the station, that change will be made. The hope is to have them back in district by the weekend.

In addition to Station 92, all Fishers fire stations will be tested to assure a safe working atmosphere for firefighters who live on station for 24 hours at a time.

Ivy Tech Community College partners with Hamilton County

high schools to offer CTE pathwaysThe REPORTER

Ivy Tech Community College is part-nering with high schools in Hamilton County to offer Career and Technical Ed-ucation Pathways to students. Participat-ing schools include: Fishers High School, Hamilton Southeastern High School, Eman School, Options Charter School-Nobles-ville, Options Charter School-Carmel and Westfield High School.

Students in the program will attend high school in the morning and take classes at Ivy Tech Hamilton County in Nobles-ville in the afternoon. Over the course of one year, students can earn 12 to 13 college credits, which count toward a Core 40 or high school Honors Diploma and can be transferred to an associate or bachelor’s degree. Students can also earn industry rec-ognized certifications. The program is free of cost to students.

The Duke Energy Foundation directed a $75,000 grant to Ivy Tech Community College to help create these Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathways. The grant is providing scholarships for students

in Hamilton County to pursue higher edu-cation and training in STEM programs at Ivy Tech. In addition to scholarships, the grant covers the costs of books and sup-plies, industry certification assessments, career readiness activities, and training for current Ivy Tech and high school STEM teachers in Hamilton County.

“We are grateful to Duke Energy Foun-dation for partnering with us to support this important initiative in Hamilton County,” said Dr. Kathleen Lee, chancellor of Ivy Tech Central Indiana. “This is another ex-ample of how Ivy Tech is making strategic efforts to align with the regional workforce. Through this initiative we are partnering with schools and organizations to prepare students for in-demand jobs in key indus-tries including construction, information technology and advanced manufacturing.”

Specific STEM programs that Ivy Tech will offer these students include Computing and Informatics, Visual Communications and Building Construction Technology. Students start classes at Ivy Tech Hamilton County today, Aug. 10.

MEMORYfrom Page 1

tumors from growing. However, it caus-es memory loss, dry skin, forgetfulness, and occasional acne. The true battle and frustration is memory loss.

This week has been a prime example. I have always kept my stuff organized and paid bills on a timely basis. Howev-er, I had some medical bills and insur-ance bills that are not that simple. The medical bills did not end up being terri-bly difficult because the person I called was from the hospital and they said let’s get on a three-way call with the insurance company and we can figure out the issue. This person has no idea just how helpful it is to have all the parties on the line at the same time — something I greatly ap-preciate. Next up was my insurance bill. Evidently I also paid this bill. The next day I am checking all my stuff again to make sure I paid all of it. My crazy brain has zero memory that I paid it the pre-vious day. I call the insurance company and starting going into details — the lady very nicely says, “Yes, we talked yester-

day and you paid us.” Fortunately, it was a very honest person as I have no memo-ry of paying this bill.

This is incredibly frustrating. Since I have had to take chemotherapy on a regular basis, I have put myself through memory training on a couple of occa-sions. It is like putting yourself back in school. Unfortunately if you do not prac-tice the “tricks” on a regular basis, you “lose it”. Both times that I buried my-self into the training — I did it so that I could give speeches. Tomorrow I am going to re-start the training. It is like a class that I have to continually “retake”. However, it gives me the confidence and tricks I need to fight Stage 4 Cancer and to deal with the side effects of memory loss. This is the biggest battle that I have ever fought, but I will continually work on my skills so that I can endure this dis-ease and maintain a “normal” life. I feel like my “athletic background” and huge faith have prepared me for this endeavor! Every day is a gift!

Native trees availableThe REPORTER

The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District is holding its annu-al fall native tree sale. This is a great op-portunity to obtain hearty yet inexpensive native trees and shrubs that beautify neigh-borhoods, provide habitat for wildlife, produce energy saving shade and enhance communities. This year 35 varieties of na-tive trees and shrubs are available.

Trees provide many environmental benefits to society. Everything from pro-viding oxygen to energy conservation, cooling shade to wildlife habitat, but they also help society in other ways. They in-crease property values and have even been shown to help build a sense of community in neighborhoods and increase shopping traffic in business areas. This tree sale fo-cuses on species native to Indiana. Native species are those that have been growing in Indiana since before English settlement. These types of trees are uniquely suited to

our soils and weather but most important-ly, they are uniquely suited to support our wildlife — especially birds, insects and other pollinators.

All offerings are $26 each and will arrive in three-gallon containers and be approximately three to five feet tall at de-livery. Pre-orders are required and are due Sept. 28. Trees can be picked up from noon to 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 6 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds Llama Barn. Or-der forms and online ordering are available at www.hamiltonswcd.org.

The REPORTERFishers Police are looking for a peeping tom, and

officers are asking for your help in finding the culprit. The reported incidents happened in the 14000 block of Meadow Lake Drive, just south of 141st Street be-tween Cumberland and Howe roads.

Residents report to authorities that a man was seen looking into windows of a home in at least one instance. Police do not know how many other homes may have been targeted.

Home surveillance photos indicate the suspect is a white male with an average build. Home security videos show the person as wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.

Tuesday night, a man matching this description was seen walking toward the residence. Fishers Po-lice Officers attempted to make contact with that sub-ject, but he quickly fled on foot. Officers were unable to find him.

Drive sober, don’t get pulled over

The REPORTERLaw enforcement agencies across

Hamilton County are joining about 220 In-diana law-enforcement agencies and thou-sands nationwide in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

From August through the Labor Day Weekend, police will be out in full force, arresting impaired drivers by aggressively targeting those who put lives in danger. Ex-pect to see increased sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols and saturation patrols.

“If you drive impaired, our officers are trained to spot you and take you to jail. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over means zero tolerance,” said Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen. “These enforcement efforts save the lives of impaired drivers, their passengers and others out on the road.”

In every state and the District of Co-lumbia, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. In Indiana, drivers under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to fines and a li-cense suspension for up to one year.

A DUI arrest means going to jail and losing your driver’s license. The average DUI cost? About $10,000, including car towing and repairs, attorney fees, fines, court costs, lost time at work and other hefty expenses.

Indiana law-enforcement agencies have participated in the annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign for more than 20 years. Overtime patrols are supported with federal highway safety funds administered by the Indiana Crimi-nal Justice Institute. For more information, visit one.nhtsa.gov/drivesober

Tips for a safe and fun season

The annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign includes the Labor Day weekend, with thousands upon thousands of Hoosier families taking to their cars for end-of-summer barbecues, football games, lakes and pool parties. Sadly, it is also one of the deadliest times of year for impaired-driving deaths.

With all of today’s options for getting home safely, there’s no excuse for getting behind the wheel impaired as it endangers you and everyone else around you. Law enforcement recommends these safe alter-natives to impaired driving:

• Designate, or be, a sober driver.• Use public transportation.• Call a cab or a ridesharing service.• Download the SaferRide mobile app

on the Android Play Store or the Apple iTunes Store. This simple app only has three options: call a taxi, call a friend and identify your location for pickup.

• Celebrate at home or a place where you can stay until sober.

• Throwing a party? Offer non-alcohol-ic beverages and plenty of food.

• Never provide alcohol to minors.• Ask young drivers about their plans.• Friend or family member about to

drive? Take the keys and make alternate arrangements.

Ride Sober or Get Pulled OverMotorcyclists have the reputation for

being tough, but no one is tough enough to withstand the effects of impaired riding. Motorcycles make up about three percent of registered vehicles, but are dramatically overrepresented in fatal crashes involving alcohol. The more that bikers drink, the less likely they are to wear their helmets.

The U.S. Department of Trans-portation has released a new “Man in the Mirror” video with a biker judg-ing whether he is sober enough to ride: youtu.be/V--qw9N00KM

Report impaired driversImpaired driving is three times more

common at night than during the day. If you see an impaired driver, turn off the road away from the vehicle and call 911. Signs of impaired driving include:

• Weaving, swerving, drifting, or strad-dling the center line

• Driving at a very slow speed• Braking erratically• Making wide turns• Stopping without cause• Responding slowly to traffic signals• Driving after dark with headlights off• Almost striking an object or vehicle• Driving on the wrong side of the road• Turning abruptly or illegallyThe Hamilton County Traffic Safety Part-

The Barrington of Carmel rolls out red carpet for

resident’s 100th birthdayThe REPORTER

In 1917, the average price of a car was $400, a Boeing aircraft flew for the first time and the hamburger bun was invent-ed.

It’s also the year Charles Schweitzer was born.

The Barrington of Carmel resident celebrated his 100th birthday on Aug. 8 and will have a party from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12 at the senior living community, located at 1355 S. Guilford Road. The celebration will honor Sch-weitzer, and family members will be pres-ent along with fellow residents to share the occasion. The centenarian is excited to celebrate this milestone with his family and friends. He says a lot has changed in the last 100 years including jobs, clothing and cars. So, what’s the key to a long life? Well, Schweitzer says you need to eat right and play a little golf.

“It’s not just about playing golf though, you elongate your life by doing anything that keeps you physically active,” said Schweitzer. “I also make sure to keep my mind active by playing crossword puzzles and watching the stock market. Really, I’ll do just about anything that makes me exercise my brain. Life has been good to me these past 99 years, and I am looking forward to having my friends and family visit me for my birthday. I’m so thankful for the life I’ve had so far. Turning 100 is a milestone not many people get to expe-rience, but I am glad I do.”

“We want my dad to feel extraordi-nary because he is an amazing man and this is truly a special day for our family,” said Don Schweitzer, Charlie’s son. “He has been an exceptional father and pro-vider, which is why we want to honor him for his 100th birthday. He deserves to be spoiled by family and friends, so that’s exactly what we plan to do. There will be cake, punch and a lot of stories to be told. He’s lived through a lot of history and has plenty to share.”

Schweitzer was born in New York, N.Y. on Aug. 8, 1917. He lived through the Great Depression, multiple wars and so far, 18 presidents. The New York na-tive served in the United States Army from 1942 until 1946 as a radio technician and was stationed in Italy and Africa. He’s

currently the oldest veteran living at The Barrington and still wears his uniform ev-ery Veteran’s Day. He was able to turn his experience in the Army into a full-time job, and in 1961, Schweitzer, his wife and five children packed up and moved to Indianapolis where he worked for RCA. He had a successful career before he de-cided to retire. In his spare time, you’ll find him using his favorite invention of the last century: the TV. Schweitzer says he’s glad he can now watch golf from his living room at The Barrington. The com-munity says they are excited to celebrate with Schweitzer.

this outreach, the message was clear that Seminary Park held a special place in our community, espe-cially among downtown residents, and needed to be preserved.

Between the two of us, Mayor Ditslear and I per-sonally spoke with dozens of residents, community leaders and historians. While I’m proud of our city departments for thinking outside the box on that par-ticular proposal – I’m even more proud of what we have done since.

Our Parks and Planning departments came to-gether to take a fresh look at Seminary Park, its cur-rent usage and to assess what makes Seminary so special. And also determine how to improve the park so that it becomes an even stronger asset that sees greater usage going forward. With the help of a land-scape architect student from Ball State University who has interned with the City of Noblesville since May, our staff has created an initial design with a list of potential improvements to Seminary that, if approved, could include:

• More trees, benches and picnic tables to create more shaded seating;

• More exploration and connectivity via a sec-ondary path to wind through the park;

• More vibrant sights, sounds and smells by cre-ating butterfly and sensory gardens;

• More lighting with vintage-looking Edison Bulbs to improve safety and illuminate the beauty of the park for activation in the early evening hours; and

• More historical signage and other ways to hon-or our past. Features such as a wrought-iron fence and arched gateway could harken visitors back to the site of the former school built in 1852 and then newly built again on-site in 1870 (that came to be known as Second Ward School before it too was demolished in 1969).

Other enhancements to Seminary could include improvements to the gazebo, the addition of a dog station and bike racks as well an expanded playground. But even with these changes, based on the earlier feedback we received, the park should still allow for open green space.

A longtime event held at Seminary, Shakespeare in the Park, moved to Federal Hill Commons for its 25th annual production. However, new events could be programmed at Seminary for year-round activation, such as a spring or summertime walking art gallery, a pumpkin-carving contest in the fall and other activities through the winter months.

We owe thanks to the creativity and landscape design expertise of our intern, Sa-mantha Fee, working under the guidance of Planning Director Sarah Reed and Parks Director Brandon Bennett. This initial design that fuses art, function and sustainability is a starting point that we’ve shared with members of the Noblesville Parks Board and vol-unteers serving on the Downtown District Committee organized by Common Council President Megan Wiles – including some residents from the downtown area and other Council members.

Now it’s your turn. Our next step is to host a public meeting from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 29 at Noblesville City Hall in Rooms A213/A214. City staff will go over the research behind the proposal. We will answer questions and take feedback on what res-idents would like to see.

After receiving feedback, staff will then complete a formal budget estimate for de-sign, construction and maintenance and bring the final proposal to our Common Council for consideration.

We hope you take part in helping shape this new vision for Seminary Park, which we believe can honor the site’s history like never before. And we welcome the community’s involvement in the new Seminary Park to ensure its preservation for the years to come.

This season could be a special one for the Fishers girlscross country team.

Coach Beth Janhs gives two reasons why."We have the largest team in school history with 76

runners," said Jahns. "The Lady Tigers are returningeveryone in the top 12 from last season."

All this has made people sit up and take notice.IndianaRunner.com listed Fishers fourth in its pre-seasonTop 50 rankings, calling the Tigers a "possible, if notprobable podium team." The top five teams at the state meetget medals, and a chance to stand on the celebrated podiumat the LaVern Gibson Cross Country Course in Terre Haute.

The Tigers finished eighth at the state meet last season.Junior Miya Wai led the way by placing 35th at Terre Haute.Her best time of the year was at the Shelbyville semi-state,where she clocked in at 18:21. Wai kept up the pace duringthe track and field meet, culminating in a third-place statefinish in the 3200 run.

Junior Tessa Kraft and sophomore Abby Carter both ran

solid at state last season, taking 59th and 61st respectively.Carter ran a PR of 5:06 in the 1600 run during her trackseason.

Senior Kamya Lapsley also ran for the Tigers at state,and followed that up with a strong track season, finishingsixth in the state in the 800 run and fourth as part of the4x400 relay.

Seniors Corinne O'Leary and Liz Rogers also competedat state cross country last season, along with sophomoreCorinne Yorkman. Kraft (18:50) and Yorkman (18:53) bothhave personal bests under 19 minutes, while O'Leary andRogers are close, each running 19:04.

As for other runners to look out for, Jahns named juniorsDebbie Shera and Elinor Carmona, and sophomores EmmaGillespie and Lilia Bodnar.
