What's new for 2020? The Atlas Cross Sport.

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 All Atlas Cross Sport models come with a touchscreen infotainment display express their emotions) with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Navigation is optional, • Bottled water (8 oz. bottles, preferably) • Individually packaged snacks as is a reconfigurable digital gauge display and SiriusXM satellite radio. The • Gas cards (many women have no access Volkswagen Car-Net connectivity app allows for remote starting and analytics to funds after fleeing their abuser) while a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot allows occupants to remain connected to the internet with their smart devices while on the go.

Midwest Prospect Leagie and Youth Amateur Baseball Championships . . . Grand Park hosting two baseball tournaments through the weekend As Grand Park continues to re-open, there is one sure signs of things getting back to normal this week: The sights and sounds of baseball. Grand Park is hosting two big base- ball tournaments this week. First is the Midwest Prospect League, which began on Tuesday and runs through Sunday. A total of 141 teams from ages 13U to 17U are participating in this event. While there are several teams from Ham- ilton County and nearby cities, in addi- tion to squads from nearby states, such as Illinois, , Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Kansas. All teams are guaranteed at least five games, which are played in a round-rob- in event with teams assigned to different pools in their age division. There is no champion in the event; rather, a descrip- tion of the tournament on the BullPen website said it is designed “for players to showcase their talents in front of col- leges.” The 16U and 17U teams wrap up play today, while 15U teams started on Thursday and play through Sunday. The other two divisions, 13U and 14U, begin play today and also go through Sunday. Meanwhile, younger players are competing for the Youth Amateur Baseball Championships, which began Thursday and also continues through Sunday. There are 84 teams signed up for the tournament, which features play in five age groups, from 8U to 12U, with Reporter photos by Richie Hall The Bo Jackson Elite team from Hilliard, Ohio is one of 141 teams playing in the Midwest Prospect League this two divisions, D1 and D2.
