June 12, 2018 at Providence of Anderson. Born February 4, 1933 FDI-1867G-A in Marion County, she was the daughter of the late Russel and Lucille (Bever) Heckman. Following her high school years at Brownsburg, Lou would enter the workforce, spending a majority of her career in the manufacturing industry. Her first job came with Aircraft Engineering Inc. of Brownsburg. After leaving Aircraft, she hired on for a couple of years with Pitman Moore in Zionsville where she worked in their research department with the monkeys. For a short time, Lou worked for Pickett’s Poultry in Sheridan before returning to manufacturing. She hired on for a few years with Zarring Machine Shop in their electronics assembly department, but would later leave the company when the opportunity presented itself for her to work at BIMCO in Sheridan. She worked as a machinist at BIMCO for over 10 years, before finally retiring from manufacturing. Work wasn’t the only thing that kept Lou on the go. She was an active member of the Terhune United Methodist Church. She loved to cook, and the Terhune Ladies Aid Society took full advantage of her abilities. Whether it was a Church dinner, a funeral dinner, or the weekly community dinners, anybody who has ever been out to the Terhune United Methodist Church for a meal knows if you leave hungry, it was your own fault. Lou and everyone else that was involved in preparing the meals always made sure there was plenty to eat. Lou’s green beans will most certainly be missed. Lou was also a member of the Sheridan Legion Ladies Auxiliary and a member of the Marion Township chapter of the Boone County Home Makers Extension. Every time an election cycle came around, Lou always made sure that she was a worker with the Boone County Election Board. She was also very dedicated to maintaining the records for Spencer Cemetery, which lies just a little east of Terhune, acting as Secretary and Treasurer for the Cemetery Association for more years than most people can remember. As busy as Lou kept herself, she still made time for family. She was a loving mother and grandmother; a dedicated Boy Scout den mother and Girl Scout troop leader; and for those who either didn’t have much family or just needed some extra love to help brighten their day, Lou used her love of knitting, sewing and hooking to make pillows, dolls and quilts for Riley Kids and anyone else that was in need. Lou is survived by her two sons, Russel E. “Rusty” Nesbitt, Chesterfield, and Bill E. Nesbitt, Sheridan; two daughters, Harviena L Heckman-Niccum (Dennis), Ander- son, and Carrie Minkner, Sheridan; eight grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Victor Vaughn; grandson, Trac- ey Redd; two brothers, Russel Heckman, Jr., and Charles Heckman who died in Ko- rea in 1950 and by her best friend and sister-in-law, Marilyn A. Nesbitt. Lou was also preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband Vaughn L. Nesbitt, on March 28, 1987. She and Vaughn were married on July 1, 1955. Services will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, 2018, at Kercheval Funeral Home, 306 E. 10th St., Sheridan, with visitation from 11 a.m. until the time of service. Reverend Arrangements Frank Ciampa will officiate. Burial will follow at Calling: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., June 16 Spencer Cemetery in Sheridan. Service: 2 p.m., June 16 In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may Location: Kercheval Funeral Home be presented to Riley Hospital for Children. Condolences: KerchevalFuneralHome.com

Tigers play Irish tonight for 4A championship By RICHIE HALL A popular quote has been used in the Fishers baseball team over the past couple years. It comes from a man who, in October of 2016, helped a certain Major League Baseball team end one of sports' most (in)famous streaks. The quote: "Don't ever let the pressure exceed the pleasure." The author of that quote, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon, saw both emotions first-hand as his team finally kicked the "Curse of the Billy Goat" out to pasture and won the World Series. Every high school team playing in this weekend's IHSAA state baseball finals is going through that now, starting with the Tigers, who take on defending state champion Cathedral in tonight's Class 4A championship game at Victory Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:37 p.m. "We were hoping we would be playing Friday night," said Fishers coach Matt Cherry. "The crowds for 4A Games have been huge in the past few years, and we are hoping we reach the attendance record again like they did in 2014 when they broke the attendance record and again in 2016 when they set the current record of 6,799." "We don’t mind the one less day of rest," said Cherry. "We are used to playing four games a week and three games in a row in our conference, so the sooner we can play the better." Every emotion associated with the state finals will be a new one for Fishers, as this is the first time the Tigers are playing at this level. Cherry and his assistants met with the players on Tuesday before practice to Kent Graham/File photo "mentally prepare them for this opportunity and the huge crowd" - the 4A games have Fishers’ Craig Yoho (center) is the Tigers’ leading hitter, averaging .413 this season and scoring 48 runs.

At the same time, the Tigers are going game seven times, winning a 3A title in Catholic. In 2017, Ed Freije became Cherry.

By RICHIE HALL The University baseball team is one day away from the biggest game in the program's history. The Trailblazers will take on Daleville for the IHSAA Class 1A state championship; the game is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at Victory Field. It's the first appearance ever for University in the baseball state finals, but the 'Blazers are doing their best to stay cool for this big occasion. "We have tried to keep everything very, very relaxed," said UHS coach Chris Estep. "A normal work week, in terms of getting prepared for whatever contest. We started turning up the intensity a little bit on Wednesday." Estep said his team had "a really, really good workout" on Thursday and was looking for another good workout Friday morning. With the game starting early in the morning, the Trailblazer players have been getting out of bed early this week as well. "They've been sticking around doing Richie Hall/File photo some extra work," said Estep. "It's been great. It's been a good week."
