Sheridan celebrates in style Carmel swim coach facing fed time over exploitation

WISH-TV | wishtv.comA Carmel High School swim coach fac-

es federal charges of child sexual exploita-tion and possession of child pornography after authorities say he engaged in a sexual relationship with one of the female athletes he coached.

John Goelz, 29, Fishers, was arrest-ed Tuesday and on Thursday remained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. His detention hear-ing is scheduled for July 10, the office of the U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler announced on Thursday.

“Protecting our youth from sexual pred-ators will always remain a top priority of this office,” said Minkler. “Those we put trust in to supervise and coach our children cannot be allowed to take advantage of them and will face tough federal prosecution.”

Law enforcement officials on June 29 learned that Goelz might have been involved in a sexual relationship with a female minor who he coached for both the Carmel Swim Club and Carmel High School's swim team. Goelz was an employee of Carmel Swim Club and began volunteering as an assistant swim coach with Carmel High School in the 2015-16 school year.

Authorities were able to determine from screenshots of text message exchanges that the relationship dated back to February 2018.

After getting a search warrant for Goelz's residence and cellphone, investiga-tors found that Goelz and the female minor had engaged in sex at public parks in Ham-ilton County, at Goelz's residence and at a hotel in Anderson. They also determined that Goelz had used his cellphone to record video of their sexual activity.

The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforce-ment, Homeland Security Investigations and the Hamilton County Metro Child Ex-ploitation Task Force.

Carmel Clay Schools and Carmel Swim Club released a joint statement sent to fami-lies of student-athletes on Thursday:

Dear Carmel Clay Schools Swim Team Families and Carmel Swim Club Families,

Carmel Police notified us that John Goelz was arrested earlier this week. We wanted to share with you the following in-formation we have received from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. We have been advised that Mr. Goelz had an inappropriate rela-tionship with a female Carmel High School student-athlete.

Mr. Goelz served as a volunteer assis-tant coach for the Carmel High school swim team and was also a coach for the Carmel Swim Club. He is not a teacher or otherwise employed by Carmel Clay Schools. He is no longer affiliated with either organization. We continue to be in communication with law enforcement in this ongoing investigation.

We are shocked and deeply saddened this has occurred. We will evaluate the sit-uation as more information becomes avail-able and will continue to do all we can to keep our children safe. We ask that you respect the privacy of the family involved during this difficult time.

Dr. Michael Beresford, Superintendent Carmel Clay Schools

Kristin Sherman, President Carmel Swim Club

If convicted, Goelz could face at least 15 years in prison, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney MaryAnn T. Mindrum.

If you have any additional information about this case, you're encouraged to call the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploita-tion Task Force at 317-595-3361.

A ‘fair’ judge of political mementos?Imagine my surprise when

I was asked to be a judge at the State Fair. I've never judged any competition in my life except maybe Halloween pumpkins, but someone thought I could be an impartial judge of political memorabilia.

I have never thought much about who judges exhibits at the fair. But, I assume that they are just plain folks who have some interest or knowledge of the items to be judged.

All I can claim is that I have collected buttons and badges since Dwight Eisen-hower's campaign for president, and have since been given ones as far back as the

Roosevelt-Landon 1936 presi-dential campaign.

As a youngster I became enamored with Ike. I remember in 1952 my dad took me to see Ike at a campaign rally in Butler Fieldhouse. My buddies and I probably drove campaign office workers crazy that year asking for pins and buttons.

People don't wear political buttons much anymore. Maybe it’s not considered 'politically correct' in mixed company. In the Eisenhower days even school kids wore 'I Like Ike' buttons in class. That would probably be a real no-no today.

Buttons or pins go as far back as George Washington's time, but were not mass produced until the 1896 presidential campaign in which William McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt were candidates. They gained popularity until the 1960s.

As a Republican, can I be trusted to be fair in judging? I think so. Most collectors have items from both major parties. Judg-es don't get paid. We do get four tickets to the fair which starts on August 3 and runs through August 19.

So, if you attend the State Fair this year and care anything about politics you might want to visit the displays at the Indiana Arts Building. It might be interesting, but no guarantee.

There are now more protections for homeowners, if you own property that backs up to a trail. It's all thanks to a state law that took effect on July 1.

This new law is designed to protect property owners along green ways or trails.

Molly Hale and her family own a home that backs right up to the Monon Trail.

They bought the house to give neigh-

bors another trail passage option. They also pay for the highest liabili-

ty insurance coverage they can, because they know people use their property to get to and from the Monon Trail.

"It protects us in the event that some-one were to be injured or generally pro-tects against lawsuits," said Hale.

Now, the need for that extra insurance could change, thanks to a new state law that just took effect July 1.

State Representative Carey Hamilton, a Democrat from Indianapolis, said, "Be-fore this law, if you lived on a trail, had

property on a trail, you would be liable if anything were to happen to someone cut-ting through your property. With this law, you are relieved of that liability."

Hamilton created the law. She says it passed with strong support from the Statehouse. But, there were some initial concerns.

"One concern that we heard early on, is that this might condone trespass. Tres-passing is still illegal. That is not con-doned by this bill."

Property owners near trails are now protected

Dance in the streets of Carmel Saturday nightThe REPORTER

Do you want to keep your Fourth of July party rocking? Join the City of Car-mel from 9 p.m. to midnight on Satur-day, July 7 for the second “Late Night on Main” street party in the Carmel Arts and Design District. The city will shut down the block just west of Range Line Road to make way for musical entertainment, dancing in the street and enjoying the eats and treats from local vendors who will be staying up late.

Previously-scheduled group The Carl Storie Band will not be able to perform due to illness, but “Late Night on Main” has booked Toy Factory to take the stage.

“We are well into our robust event sea-

son in the City and there is no better place to be Saturday night than in the heart of the Carmel Arts & Design District,” said Mayor Jim Brainard. “These late night events were created to enhance our night life entertainment and to bring people to-gether to share music, dining and a little shopping in a unique setting.”

With the goal of bringing more atten-tion to different sections of Main Street again this year, the Late Night on Main events will be moved east and west on Main Street throughout the year. Patrons on the patios and sidewalks at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant and Mudbugs Cajun Cafe will have front row seats to the show.

This means Main Street from Range

Line Road to Veterans Way/1st Avenue NW will be closed beginning around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday so preparations can be made, including the placement of a stage for the band. Detour signs will be in place to direct traffic around the closure. Plan for extra time Saturday afternoon and eve-ning if your route includes Main Street.

Mark your calendars for upcoming Late Night on Main events on Aug. 18 and Oct. 5.

Equal Employment Opportunity EmployerParticipates in E-Verify

Work Institute to speak at OneZone luncheon

The REPORTEROneZone’s monthly

luncheon on Wednesday, July 11 will feature a dis-cussion on employee re-tention. The speaker will be Danny Nelms, president of Work Institute, a firm located in Franklin, Tenn. Work Institute is a leader in employee engagement, re-tention and human resource consulting that helps com-

panies attract, hire and re-tain talent, improve perfor-mance, diminish risk and manage human capital cost.

Check-in begins at 11 a.m., and the luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will take place at the FORUM Conference Center, 11313 USA Pkwy., Fishers.

The lunch will include information on the state of

the marketplace, top 10 cat-egories of reasons for leav-ing in 2017, and additional insight from over 234,000 exit interviews.

Reservations are re-quired by noon on Monday, July 9. Cost for individuals is $25 for members and $35 for non-members. Res-ervations can be made with at onezonecommerce.com or by calling 317-436-465.

Hamilton said Hale's extra out-of-pocket insur-ance costs are part of why she created the bill. She hopes this helps homeown-ers, particularly in rural ar-eas.

"So they don't have to worry about liability and could support the future

changes of those old rail beds into trail systems," said Hamilton.

Molly Hale explained, "We have a very small sliv-er of property adjacent to the Monon. But in the big-ger picture, I think this law is really helpful for people in rural communities."

So if someone does hurt themselves on your proper-ty that backs up to a trail, how do you actually use this new law?

Hamilton said reach out to your city or town leaders and ask for help. They'll be able to point you in the right direction.

A 15-foot sinkhole in the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Ohio Street is the result of a century-old brick sewer line rupture, ac-cording to Citizens Energy Group.

The rupture occurred Wednesday afternoon caus-ing a large sinkhole to open up in the roadway.

Dan Considine, repre-sentative for Citizens En-ergy Group, explained the rupture happened at the in-tersection of two large-di-ameter sewer lines.

"What happened is the hole 15 feet down is filled with water and the soil above it has collapsed down," he said, explaining that while on-lookers call it 'Indy's largest pothole,' it is much more complicated

than a pothole. "Until we really get in there and see what was the extent of the damage we won't have an exact time frame of when the intersection will be back open."

Considine said the prob-lem is aging infrastructure. He doesn't have an exact age for the ruptured sewer line, but said many in central In-dianapolis were built more than 100 years ago, some in the late 1800s.

To fix the problem, Considine says crews will need to excavate a 20-foot by 20-foot space around the sinkhole to properly repair and fill it, and must avoid striking any of sev-en other utility lines in the intersection.

"These are markings for the other utility lines," he said, referring to several colored paint lines freshly

marked in the intersection. "It indicates how busy it is under the street. So just under the street here you're going to have sewer, water, natural gas, steam lines, chilled water lines, phone lines and electric."

An active weather pat-tern may delay that excava-tion until Friday, according to Considine. As of Thurs-day afternoon, he expects the intersection to be closed until at least Friday evening.

"Getting this back open is a high priority but again we have to be very care-ful here because we have a lot of utility infrastructure above where the failure is so we don't damage it," he said.

As for if this breach could happen elsewhere in the city, Considine says it's possible.

"These failures can oc-cur. We are investing liter-

ally hundreds of millions of dollars into sewer system every year," he said. "In fact, since 2011, we've invested $1 billion in the local sew-er system and part of that has been to replace and re-

line old sewer infrastructure like the one we're standing over today."

Meanwhile, the sinkhole has become somewhat of a tourist attraction, drawing crowds of pedestrians with

cameras to take a look at the hole. Crews request pedes-trians and drivers exercise caution in the busy down-town streets and that they help make workers' safety a priority.

The REPORTERFishers police officers

arrested a man after he al-legedly was seen stealing items and threatening a Fishers Kroger employee.

According to police, on July 2 officers respond-ed to the Kroger store in the 9700 block of East 116th Street after an em-ployee reported being threatened by a suspect stealing items.

The suspect, who was described as a black male wearing an orange shirt

and black pants, fled the area in a green Honda before police ar-rived.

Police say after several hours, a green Honda was wit-nessed travel-ing on Brooks School Road. The vehicle was pulled over, a traffic stopped was attempted, but a man matching the suspect's description exit-ed the vehicle and ran.

After a search for sever-al hours for the suspect, Corey Hutton, 47, was found and taken into custody.

Hutton was charged with Possession of Paraphernalia,

Resisting law Enforce-ment, Theft and Robbery. Hutton was transported to the Hamilton County Jail and is being held on a $15,000 bond.

Fishers Kroger crook flees on foot, later caught by police

Dee Thornton responds to Brooks’ support for tax cuts

Dear Editor,I would like to respond to the article

published on Congresswoman Brooks' address to Congress on the status of the tax cut. Most Americans recognize that this legislation was for the very rich and provided no assurances to help working people. Big corporations have used their windfalls to reward chief executives and stockholders. Barely a third of Ameri-cans now support the law.

"There are too many disingenuous claims that the Trump and Republican tax cuts for corporations will trickle down to the middle class,” said Frank Clemente, executive director of Ameri-cans for Tax Fairness. “President Trump and Republicans gave huge tax cuts to big drug companies, big oil and other corporations, but corporations are giv-ing back little – if anything – to work-ing families,” said Clemente. “In fact, this [analysis shows] that 433 corpora-tions out of the Fortune 500 have an-

nounced no plans to share their tax cuts with employees.”

The newest projections by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office found that the Republican tax plan led to, in part, a 2018 deficit $242 billion higher than previously estimated.

Congresswoman Brooks proudly supports a tax plan that adds $1.5 tril-lion to the national debt. Meanwhile, the GOP has already begun citing rising deficits to make the case for deep cuts to safety-net programs that would be devastating for poor families across the country. House Republicans have spent much of the past few months attempting to slash food stamps, while their latest budget plan would reduce Medicaid spending by $1.5 trillion.

Indiana’s 5th district and the nation deserve better representation.

The REPORTERThere are few things

that connect community more than cheering kids on at the baseball field. For the Orange Youth Base-ball Organization, giving families a place to call their home field is a dream soon to come true. In a new partnership, Orange Baseball will construct its home fields and facility on the property of Noblesville Naz Church, 1399 Green-field Ave., Noblesville.

At 7 p.m. this evening, Orange Youth Baseball will host a groundbreaking ceremony at the church. The organization’s two youth baseball fields, team dugouts and fan bleachers will be constructed on the church’s existing grounds.

The property was once vetted and zoned as a po-tential youth recreation

space by Noblesville Parks and Recreation. The due diligence conducted by No-blesville Parks has helped empower Orange Baseball and Noble Naz to build upon the knowledge gath-ered to now activate this space to serve the youth baseball community.

Fishers-based RQAW is providing the design concepts and rendering for the future baseball fields. As a not-for-profit organization, Orange will be actively seeking part-ner sponsors and donors to reach the anticipated $100,000 in hard costs to construct the fields.

“We are so fortunate to have companies that are al-ready contributing in-kind product and services to help us manage and mini-mize expenses,” said Steve Burzynski, Founder and

President of Orange Youth Baseball. “The community support and collaboration we continue to receive is awesome. Giving these kids the place to keep lov-ing this game while learn-ing the spirit of sports-manship is truly what this is about.”

Burzynki, along with Treasurer Shannon McVey, will be joined by Nobles-ville Naz Lead Pastor Jesse Garner and board mem-bers Nate Sutake, Ann Earl, Sandy Barack, Leon Daughtery and Charlie Ste-vens. Youth teams and their families will attend and host a pitch-in to celebrate.

About Orange Youth Baseball

Orange Youth Baseball is a not-for-profit organiza-tion dedicated to providing an avenue for families to

participate in competitive travel baseball with less of a time and financial com-mitment compared to other high-end and year-round full-time travel baseball programs. One of the key differentiators is a balanced

approach keeping family first with an emphasis on practice, fundamentals and character. This also gives families the freedom to play other seasonal sports with-out intrusive off-season commitments and overlap

of schedules. Orange Youth Baseball is made up of 12 teams, ages 8U to 12U. To learn more or get involved, email Steve Burzynski at president@imavexora-nge.com or visit imavexo-range.com.

TODAY’S BIBLE READING And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

Matthew 28:5-10 (KJV)

The REPORTERDuring the 2017-2018

school year, Ivy Tech Com-munity College’s Associ-ate Accelerated Program (ASAP) achieved a 90 per-cent student retention rate. Through the program, 154 students were able to earn an associate degree in less than one year’s time.

Ivy Tech’s ASAP pro-gram provides at-risk high school students facing life and family issues that pre-vent them from completing a degree, the opportunity to earn a marketable and trans-ferable associate degree on a full-time basis in just 11 months. Most students who are chosen for the program are identified while still in high school and are the first in their families to attend college.

ASAP prepares students to transfer to four-year col-leges and universities. Of ASAP graduates who ap-ply, 100 percent are accept-ed by at least one four-year college, allowing them to transfer their credits to a bachelor’s degree with ju-nior status in most cases.

Depending on the stu-dent’s eligibility, most ASAP students are able to

complete the associate de-gree program for free or at little cost.

Since ASAP’s incep-tion, the program has enrolled 1,236 students, with another 300 students enrolled for the 2018-19 school year.

The program provides wraparound support with dedicated program men-tors. Students attend as a group, which allows them to form a learning commu-nity and provide peer sup-port for each other. ASAP also incorporates service learning, allowing students to give back to the commu-nity outside the classroom.

Through ASAP, stu-dents can get a degree in Liberal Arts, Business Ad-ministration, Education, Informatics or Healthcare Specialist. The program was launched in the fall of 2010 at two campuses and has since expanded to 16 Ivy Tech campuses statewide. Find a full list of campuses and more information about ASAP at ivytech.edu/asap.

By RICHIE HALLThe Sheridan Horseshoe League

conducted a free clinic on Wednesday atBiddle Park, coinciding with the town'sFourth of July Festivities.

The clinic gave festival-goers a chance tosee what happens at the park's horseshoe pitevery Tuesday evening, when the League hasits regular competition. Those that came overgot a chance to try their hand at pitchinghorseshoes, and got to chat with some of theleague's regular competitors as well.

Ron Holliday, who started in 1982, wasamong the regulars in attendance. He spokeabout how the league tries to promote thesport, saying that the clinic "was another freeactivity we could do out here for the peoplewhile they're attending the festivities."Holliday said he's gotten to meet people fromall over Indiana and pitch in statechampionships among other things.

There is a camaraderie that exists amongthe horseshoe pitchers. Holliday told a storyabout when his motor home's alternator wentout when he was in the Southern Indianatown of Odon. While in Odon, he found somepeople with whom he had pitched horseshoes.

"They put me in there, next day they wentand got me an alternator and everything andI was on my way," said Holliday. "You geta lot of great friendship in the sport ofhorseshoes because it's a friendly game.

While horseshoes is for everyone, it is definitely a sport and requires the necessarypatience and practice of any other competition. Holliday had some advice for those whoare getting started: "Just be patient."

"Start from a shorter distance and keep gradually working your way back to where youshould be for your age," said Holliday. Women pitch from 30 feet, as do senior citizenmen. Everyone else throws from 40 feet.

"You just gradually work yourself back and then when you get not good, butcomfortable at throwing your horseshoes, it's good to be in a league or something, and youlearn real quick there," said Holliday.

In Tuesday action, Jeff Ogle lead all pitchers in three individual categories to helpPrice Heating capture the first round of the Sheridan Horseshoe League.

Price will compete against the winner of the second round at season's end. Should Pricetake the second round, it will be the league champion with no playoff.

The Sheridan League will be hosting the O’Reilly Horseshoe Tournament on Saturday.The tournament is open to anyone 18 and over. No pre-registration is required and twosessions will be available, with starting times at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
