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

Letter to the Editor A poem from Bishop Trimble: ‘Vaccinations save lives’ Dear Editor: Life over death weeping or rejoicing What if I wrote a poem But my prayers will continue about COVID-19? Lord, Have Mercy Just for the sake of saving lives Debate is not helping Or maybe I need to share just to share As the hospitals fill again Or maybe I am living in my own world Some can’t and some will not Or maybe this is not really a poem.

It was a quiet day for the entire roster in comparison to one popular Colt. Cornerback Kenny Moore II made quite the entrance to camp in a two-seat- er IndyCar with Arrow McLaren SP’s star driver Pato O’Ward as his chauffeur. Unfortunately for Moore II, the ride in Westfield didn’t feel as cool as it looked. “Very uncomfortable. It is hard to get comfortable because you can feel every bump,” Moore said. The day also featured seven in-per- son player interviews, a first for the team since the start of the COVID-19 pan- demic. Following Monday’s news of head coach Frank Reich’s breakthrough pos- itive COVID-19 case, questions regard- ing why the Colts are among the league’s five lowest-vaccinated teams dominated the conversation on Tuesday.
