Time to get on with the Outer Beltway?
By FRED SWIFT
Whatever happened to plans for an outer belt highway
around Indianapolis that was to be
partially in Hamilton County? A few
years ago there was lots of talk of this
proposed road that would include
146th Street. Of course 146th was
reconstructed in the 1990s and was
seen as the logical north leg of the
beltway designed to take a lot of
suburban traffic off I-465.
Former Governor Mitch Daniels
was supporting the idea, but since he
left office in 2012 there has been little serious talk about the
project. Hendricks County to the west of Indianapolis has
built what is called the Ronald Reagan Parkway which
presumably would serve as the west leg of an outer belt.
But, to link 146th to the Reagan Parkway, Boone County
would have to build a connecting section.
Hancock County has partially completed the Mt.
Comfort Road which would serve as the east leg. In
addition, Johnson County on the south and Shelby County
on the southeast will have to also participate to make a true
belt around Indy. Such a road around the capital city would
not be an interstate, but it could be of tremendous help to
residents of the so-call donut counties.
For example, Hamilton County residents could use the
outer belt to get to the Indianapolis airport without getting
on the increasingly congested I-465. It seems only logical
for the officials of the donut counties to get together and
make such a project happen.
At the present time state legislators and Gov. Eric
Holcomb are trying to raise money for major road
improvements. It looks like a good time to revive the
plans and get the seemingly forgotten outer belt highway
into the mix. And, it might be logical for Hamilton County
to provide the leadership because we know we have county
officials, mayors and legislators who can get things done
when they want.
I also have How the West was Royal
a dream
By JANET HART LEONARD
It was late Friday night when I wrote
my column, or so
I thought. Actually
I was dreaming
when I wrote it.
I woke up
exhausted.
I
sometimes wrestle
with ideas. Should
I say this? Should
I go there?
My intentions
are always to
cause discussion, create laughter or jog
memories. My intentions are never to
push my ideas, an agenda or evoke
controversy.
This week my granddaughters, Abby
and Alecksa, were waiting in the car
when they witnessed a mother screaming
and swearing at her little girl who looked
to be about three years old. I was inside
Subway (probably good that I was not
where I could hear the berating). When
I got inside the car they were visibly
shaken. "Grandma, it was really bad."
Both girls began telling me not only what
was screamed but how it was screamed.
If I had witnessed it, I probably
would have asked the mother if she knew
what her little girl's heart was hearing. I
probably would have been told that it
was none of my business.
My husband told me that he read a
quote this week "sticks and stones may
break my bones but words will break my
heart." And it's true.
I see it more and more every day. It
makes me sad. Nothing hurts me like
seeing a child hurt by actions or words.
Bullying has escalated into
something we see every day. I worry
about its effects on our children.
My dad was bullied as a child
because he had only one shirt to wear.
For all of his adult life he made sure any
child that he knew would never go
without. He celebrated Christmas with a
passion because he knew what it felt like
to be left out on Christmas morning.
Recently a man called me who had
worked for my dad at Firestone. He said,
"Janet, I just wanted to call you and let
you know that your dad was one of the
nicest men that I ever knew". He went
on to tell me that several of the men that
worked for my dad had talked this past
summer while they were gathered around

Remember the “three-legged
stool” when it comes to fitness
By SHARON MCMAHON
“You have brains in your head. You
have feet in your shoes. You can steer
yourself any direction you choose.”
Dr. Seuss - Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
In which direction do you plan to go in
2017? Are you “so done” with all the
infomercials and ads about losing weight?
Dropping
4
dress/pants sizes in
just a few weeks?
Ringing
up
the
shopping network to
order the “total gym”
so that you will be
transformed?
The
majority of Americans
spend more than any
other industrialized
nation in their quest to
be more fit and
healthy.
In working with my fitness class
participants, personal training, and nutrition
clients, I find that initially they are either
buoyed up by the rhetoric or defeated by it.
Neither is particularly helpful in a quest to
be the healthiest one can be. The January
hype will die down a bit, and then the “get
ready for swimsuit season” ads will begin.
I sincerely believe that this type of
encouragement can lead to yo-yo dieting and
undermine our fitness goals.
We are
expected to indulge in holiday fare and then
get to work to take it off, sometimes to the
tune of spending quite a lot of money to do
so.
Referring to the quote this week, let’s
use our brains to acknowledge that no
advertisement, spokesperson, or magazine
article can address our specific life situation.
Over eating and a sedentary lifestyle are
both behavior issues and very individual.
A good personal trainer, nutrition
consultant, or health care professional can
work with you to get started in the direction
that you want to go.
Yes, you do have feet in your shoes and
you can begin any day, at any time, moving
those feet to incorporate more action in your
daily life. Walking…who knew? And,
finally, steering yourself in the direction you
choose; vitally important.
A personal
trainer or certified fitness consultant can
work with you to determine your goals, not

the square in downtown Noblesville. They
talked about how no one ever had a bad
word to say about my dad. He was fair. He
spoke words of encouragement. He was a
good man. He led by example.
I wiped tears as he spoke. My dad had
an eighth grade education yet he made a
difference in the lives of others. His words
were never to bully anyone into agreeing
with him. He never put anyone down for not
agreeing with him. He listened with his
heart. He was one who would show people
how to do something, not just tell them how
to do it.
We have the right to say what we think.
We have the right to say it loudly. We have
the right to sit in front of a screen and scream
our opinion to the world. Does screaming
make someone listen? Does writing in
capital letters make our point of view any
more important? Do we take our anger out
on the innocent and tender hearts of our
children Do we realize what our children our
hearing?
We have the right...but is it right?
I can dream of a world where kindness
matters. I can dream of a world where words
are chosen that make a difference for the
good of others. I can dream of writing my
column. And then I write.
PUBLIC NOTICES
From Page 1
goals set for you by another person or a corporate entity!! A realistic direction in which you can go to achieve that goal
will take you there.
Remember that a total fitness package incorporates the “three-legged stool” incorporating aerobic activity (increasing
the heartbeat) along with strength training and of course, flexibility. The seat of this three-legged stool is nutrition.
Your body needs fuel on which to run. If your car’s manufacturer recommends premium gas to run most efficiently are
you going to pump regular unleaded…probably not. Think of your healthy lifestyle as an investment, a much greater
investment than any automobile!
Finally, do your homework. If a group fitness class works best for you then sign up and actually attend! Sometimes
making a connection with a class partner can be encouraging. If your schedule or personal preference works best to hire
a personal trainer, that might work best for you. In either case, be sure to ask about the class instructor’s or personal
trainer’s qualifications; both experience and credentials. Otherwise, pick up those light weights at least three times
weekly, get outside in a safe area to begin a walking routine (check with your neighbors, form a “walking club”) and
incorporate stretching on a regular basis. Your activities should never leave you in pain or acute discomfort but should
be challenging and invigorating. The endorphins will also encourage mental clarity and a feeling of well-being.
Next time I’ll discuss one of my favorite topics; healthy (and yummy!) eating!

Carmel defends title over HSE, Millers second at Elwood
Photo provided
The Carmel wrestling team defended its sectional championship at Zionsville Saturday. The Greyhounds scored 232 points, had six champions and qualified 13 wrestlers
on to next Saturday’s North Montgomery regional.
There was nothing light about Carmel's
lightweights during the Zionsville wrestling
sectional Saturday.
The Greyhounds
won championships in
the first four weight
divisions
at
the
sectional, and that
pretty much sealed up
a defense of their team
championship.
Carmel repeated as
sectional winner with
232 points, eventually
taking six of the 14

classes. Just as

importantly,
the
'Hounds qualified 13
wrestlers on to next
Saturday's regional at
North Montgomery.
H a m i l t o n
Southeastern finished
second, scoring 192
points. The Royals got
one win, and will send
11 wrestlers to the
regional
next
weekend. Westfield
Ashton Mills
placed fourth, also
Noblesville
taking an individual
title, and advanced
seven to the regional. Fishers finished sixth,
getting one individual win, and qualified
five to North Montgomery.
Brendan Mattingly was the first
Greyhound to win a blue ribbon, as he
defeated HSE's Reece Luhmann by a 13-4
major decision in an all-freshman 106pound championship match. Kyle Holman
was next for Carmel, edging the top seed
and fellow sophomore Tallon Surber of
Clinton Central in a 6-4 decision.
Next up for the 'Hounds were two
seniors. Dominic Pecoraro, a 120-pounder,
beat Royals' junior Blake Forbes in a 6-0
decision for the title in that class. At 126
pounds, Adam Jerde got past HSE junior
Jacob Garcia in a 6-5 decision to make
Carmel 4-for-4.
The Greyhounds' other two winners
were 152-pound junior Jack Eiteljorge, who
easily took his record to 25-1 with a 14-5
major decision victory over Zionsville junior
Sam Gobeyn. Finally, at 285 pounds, junior
Jack Williams won in an ultimate tiebreak
over Westfield senior Austin Dollens, with
the score 4-2.
Other place-winners for Carmel included
Chad Sauder, who took second at 145
pounds. Placing third were Logan Hart at
170, Jayden Williams at 195 and Eric
Boleman at 220. Fourth-place Greyhounds
were Garrett Sharp at 132, Cameron Bacon
at 160 and Bryce Sharp at 182.
The Royals' champion was 182-pound
senior Alec Jessop, who edged Lebanon
senior Evan Stambaugh in the final bout 3-2.
Stambaugh came into that match with a 30-0
record before Jessop's close victory.
Luhmann, Forbes and Garcia were
among five runners-up for Southeastern.
Also getting second for the Royals were two
seniors, 170-pounder Joe Mazero and Joe
Myren at 220. Myren was edged by
unbeaten Lebanon junior Jacob McClaine
in an ultimate tiebreak, with the score 3-2.
Freshman Tyler Wagner (at 138) and
sophomore Crae Kunkelman (at 285) both
finished third, while freshman Jacob Simone
(at 113), freshman Ronan Hiner (at 145) and
senior Kyle Wagner (at 152) all placed
fourth.
Westfield's winner was Liam Jagow,
who got past Zionsville's Drew Williamson
in an all-senior final at 195 pounds. Jagow
needed a tiebreak to win 3-1, and improve
his record to 36-1 on the season.
Dollens was one of three runners-up for
the Shamrocks. Also placing second were
junior Noah Robinson at 138 and senior
Justin Miller at 160. They will be joined at
the regional by two third-place finishers freshman Carson Eldred at 106 and senior
Reid Hutson at 113 - and freshman Milo
Merkel, who took fourth at 120.
Senior Beau Wilbrandt was Fishers'
champion. He took the 145-pound title over
Sauder with a second-period pin, the only
county wrestler to win by fall.
Junior Jaren Tunstill (at 132) and senior
Spencer Bischoff (at 152) each placed third
for the Tigers. Placing fourth for Fishers
were junior Alexander Streuder (at 126) and
sophomore George Vrachnos (at 138).
Sheridan finished ninth at the sectional,
and had two wrestlers place fifth: Junior
Justin Delph at 145 pounds and sophomore
Ian Pence at 285 pounds.
MILLERS SECOND AT ELWOOD
Over at Elwood, Noblesville finished a
close second to Pendleton Heights in the
team standings. The Millers did collect four
individual championships and qualified 10
to next Saturday's regional, which will take
place at Pendleton.
Hamilton Heights finished fourth as a
team, and also had one champion and
advanced five wrestlers to the regional.
Guerin Catholic took ninth place and sent
three wrestlers to Pendleton.
Noblesville got three wins in the light
weights, all right in a row. Senior Nick
Brady barely broke a sweat winning the
113-pound title, getting a pin of Anderson
freshman KJ Williams in 29 seconds.
Next up for the Millers was sophomore
Dalton Huffman. He had a much closer
match, but still prevailed over Anderson
senior Brody Pickering, in a 6-4 decision at
120 pounds. Following that was 126-pound
senior Noah Long, and he edged Huskies
freshman Cordel Cowan in a 6-5 decision to
win the blue ribbon.
Noblesville's fourth champion of the day
was senior Ashton Mills, who won at 182
pounds by pinning Elwood sophomore Jalen
Morgan in the second period of the title bout.
Two Miller heavyweights punched their
tickets for regional with runner-up finishes.
They were senior Ryan Leslie at 220 pounds
and sophomore Sam Wertz at 285 pounds.
Taking third for Noblesville were
sophomore Gary Kitko at 132 pounds, and
senior David Kitko at 152 pounds. Two
Millers sophomores placed fourth: Ryan
Bell at 138 and Zack Knoll at 170.
Senior 138-pounder Riley White was
Heights' champion. White improved his
record to 38-1 for the season by beating
Pendleton sophomore Caleb Gibson in a
10-5 decision.
Cordel Cowan was one of three runnersup for the Huskies. Also placing second for
Heights were two seniors: Chris Loy at 132
pounds and Clayton Cowan at 145 pounds.
Freshman Aiden Ray placed fourth at 106
pounds.
Senior JT Lazzara led the Golden Eagles'
qualifiers with a runner-up finish at 160
pounds. He will be joined at the regional by
junior Korbin Lane, who took third at 145
pounds, and freshman Jeff Dunasky, who
placed fourth at 132 pounds.
