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 o D ay 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 T discuss, so you don’t often hear about them. But at Tom Wood The all new ID.4 will revolutionize the way you drive!

It was the first win of the season for Heights. The Huskies scored their run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Sam Allen broke up a Panthers’ no-hitter by smack- ing a double into left field. Erik Malott then hit a sacrifice bunt to move Allen to third base. After Heights absorbed a strikeout, Nate Hulen stepped up and sent a single into left field, getting Allen home for the walk-off win. Meanwhile, Lucas Letsinger pitched an incredible game. Letsinger allowed only two hits (singles in the third and fifth innings), while striking out seven. The Huskies are 1-1 in conference play and 1-6 overall. Heights’ next game is Friday when it hosts Maconaquah.
