By Al StilleyLoving husband

Thank you for sending Jane Sharon Burris into my life as an unselfish, loving and wonderful wife and mother of our children. I give you thanks for sharing 53 years of “wedded bliss” with her.

“Wedded bliss” may sound trite, but that’s exactly what I enjoyed with her every day of our marriage.

We had similar personalities in many ways and easily could tell the other’s mood simply by the tone of their voice. We never argued, well, except once early in our marriage over something so trivial that we soon began laughing. We always held hands in public and that continued throughout our marriage. She also loved me so much that she kept any worries from me so I could enjoy my life and my passion for writing.

She passed away on Thursday, April 23, when she lost all energy in her fight against the ravages of COVID-19 at Franciscan Health where she was admitted April 18. She would have celebrated her 75th birthday on May 11. My entire family deeply appreciates the doctors, nurses and medical personnel who tended to her in the hospital.

The outpouring of love and admiration from her friends in recent days has been overwhelming and reflective of a life that was lived for God and family. Her light shines even brighter after death than during her life.

Looking back, I am convinced that the hand of God led me to meet her in the summer of 1959 at a picnic where each of our parents took us. She went to Greenwood High School and I went to Speedway High School; I was one year ahead of her. Eventually, I was brave enough to call her on the phone and, once I got my driver’s license, we began dating.

She had a fascinating background. She was born in Oxford, England, and a descendant of a traveling Methodist minister, Henry Woodcock, who founded the first churches in and around Hull and wrote many books. Jane’s mother, Nancy Woodcock Burris, was among civilians who were at Bletchley Park during World War II. Her dad, James Burris, was in the U.S. Army Air Corps in England when they met.

Thank you ...

Jane Stilley

Racing is just around the corner at the Indianapolis Speedrome, the nation’s oldest and most exciting Figure-8 track, at Brookville Road and Kitley Avenue.

There is no definite starting date for the 2020 season due to COVID-19. Track owner Dennis Garrigus is urging race teams and fans to “stay ready.”

As the size of public gatherings are allowed, the track can have open practice, tech and registration dates followed by racing.

On behalf of Roncalli High School Athletics, We offer our condolences to the

Stilley Family on the loss of their loved one, Jane.

Our sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with Al and his family.

A GREAT TIME TO RECONNECT We are a few months into this coronavirus-19 pandemic. We seem

to be kept up to date by the national media on all phases of what is happening and what we might be dealing with in the future.

I have a good friend who doesn’t seem to understand what is go-ing on. His name is Stuart, my canine buddy and 15-year-old therapy dog. We have been visiting nursing homes and schools for about 11 years.

I have often seen reports on television about how busy and stress-ful the lives of all hospital and nursing home workers are now. Visi-tors are not allowed. I often think about how lonesome the patients and residents become. In most cases, they know and understand why they can’t have family and friends visiting; it’s hard on the families too.

Stuart has absolutely no understanding of why we have not visited nursing homes for over a month. Sometimes, I have a feeling that he thinks that he might have done something that caused us to not be allowed to make our visits.

Several years ago, Stuart somehow figured out the days of the week. Our nursing home visits had always been on Tuesday morn-ings. He would start pestering me around 9:30 a.m., a reminder to get ready for our visits. The first three Tuesdays of the stay-at-home mandate, he tried very hard to get me up and going. I tried my best to explain to him what was going on; it never did work.

Now, he seems to be operating like most of us. Stuart has no idea what day of the week it is and seems sad.

On Thursdays, we visited Beech Grove Central Elementary in the morning and South Grove Intermediate in the afternoon. Students in both schools would read stories to Stuart and me. With schools closed, the weeks have been very long.

We have been lucky to have had some nice weather. This has allowed folks in our neighborhood to get outside and do some yard-work. Keeping our six-foot social distance, it’s just so wonderful to see and visit with our neighbors.

I make a monthly calendar to remind myself of meetings, lunches, appointments and other commitments. My May calendar is almost blank. My Southport High School class was supposed to celebrate our 60-year reunion which has been cancelled.

So many changes will take place when the pandemic ends. Small businesses that are closed now will really need our help when they reopen. As I was driving up Madison Avenue last week, I saw a “For Sale” sign on the Longacre Bar and Grill. That building was once a house that my folks owned and where I grew up. I hope somehow that business can continue to serve the Southside.

Staying in contact with friends is important. For many years, if someone asked me how I was doing, I replied, “Not bad for a Monday.” It didn’t matter what day it was, and my reply sometimes confused folks. Now it’s not as much fun because some of us have no clue as to what day it is. I’m still going to respond the same way.

That said, this is a great time to reconnect and reach out to friends – please call them. Make your friends smile and have a safe week.

ZOOBILATION RESET AUG. 14The annual Indianapolis Zoo’s Zoobilation fund-raising event is re-

scheduled for Aug. 14, 7 p.m. to midnight, after being postponed June 12. Original tickets sold will be honored on the new date.

LOAN DISTRIBUTION BEGINS

GOD BLESSES ME WITH THREEMonday at 10:22 a.m., I was

blessed with my second grandson, Aiden William Matthew Smith. He is the son of Kayla and Austin Smith (my oldest son); and brother to 8-year-old sister, Andie.

He weighed in at 9 lbs., 15 ounces and measured 22-1/4”. Yes, we have big babies.

This has been different and emotionally hard by not being able to witness the birth and hold him, as well as, not seeing AJ, my 8-year-old grandson from Maria and Alex Smith (my youngest son) and Andie during this social distancing.

I did get to visit the two older ones on Easter from a distance.

Mimi is ready for a sleepover filled with eating at Margarita’s, laughing, playing games, swimming, watching movies and eating popcorn.

Being a parent is a gift, but being a grandparent is an even bigger gift, because you can play and spoil and then they go home so you can rest. Great job Kayla and Austin. Thank you God for continued prayers and health.

Aiden

AJ Andie

Aiden looks so big, until he’s in the arms of Daddy, who is 6-5. Austin weighed 10 lbs., 13 ounces and was 22-3/4” when he was born May 11, 1988.

Katie and Frank loved to travel. This was not only her passion, but became a part of the family’s life together. Some of the most fondest memories will be reminiscing of those trips that spanned across the globe.

A “Celebration of Life” is planned, with a date yet to be determined.

PAID OBITUARY

Thank you ... (Continued from Page 1)

After the end of World War II, only nine months old, Jane came to the U.S. on the first voyage of the Queen Mary after it was converted into a crowded war-bride ship. Her first view of America was the Statue of Liberty.

She grew up on the near-westside of Indy and eventually Greenwood in 1955. She was the intelligent one and graduated near the top of her class in 1963. She gave up a scholarship to study speech therapy at Purdue University; instead she studied and became a dental assistant.

We were married on Aug. 26, 1966 at Greenwood United Methodist Church (GUMC). After our wedding day, we moved to Bowling Green, Ky., where she was a dental assistant and I was finishing requirements for a bachelor’s degree at Western Kentucky University. Later we spent two years in Nashville, Tenn., where I covered sports, including the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR events, for two years. She never complained about being a “sports widow.” We moved to the Greenwood area in December 1969.

She gave birth to our three children, Darla, Shannon and Gregory, who have blessed us with 12 grandchildren - Kenneth and Katie Stevens, Joshua, Max, Patrick, Jack, Sophia, Nolan and A.J. Denney, and Olivia, Alyssa and Harrison Stilley.

Jane was a devoted homemaker, by choice, and created a loving home where our children and their friends could enjoy her warmth and love. She found time to enjoy sewing, painting

and ceramics. She was a Girl Scout leader, involved our children in a variety of activities, worshiped together and took part in many Easter and Christmas celebrations. She also founded the Shepherd’s Table, a free weekly community lunch at GUMC.

She loved to travel. We took our children to Daytona Beach several times, Chicago, the Great Smoky Mountains and many trips to Lake Freeman. As the years went by, Jane and I made trips to North Carolina to visit our daughter Darla and her two children.

We made two trips together to her home country England, once in 1987 ourselves and a five-week trip in 2012 with three of our granddaughters so they also could meet many cousins near their ages in Oxford and then a few days in France and Ireland.

Jane and I grew up in separate churches. Our faith was fashioned by those early lessons of God’s grace and love and of Jesus’ greatest sacrifice for all mankind. Our children grew up in church and so have their children. Jane’s life, faith and love of family strengthens us today.

Last Wednesday around 1 p.m. by phone, because there is no visitation of COVID-19 patients, she was able to hear my last words: “I love you.”

(Note: Memorial contributions in Jane’s honor can be made to: Greenwood United Methodist Church, 525 N. Methodist Ave., Greenwood, IN 46142. A memorial service will be forthcoming; Swartz Family Community in Franklin is handling arrangements.)

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Temper your typical Aries urge to charge into a situation and demand answers. Instead, let the Lamb’s gentler self emerge to deal with a problem that requires delicacy.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are aware of what’s going on, so continue to stand by your earlier decision, no matter how persuasive the counter-arguments might be. Money pressures will soon ease.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) By all means, have fun and enjoy your newly expanded social life. But don’t forget that

some people are depending on you to keep promises that are very important to them.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You need to wait patiently for an answer to a workplace problem and not push for a decision. Remember: Time is on your side. A financial matter needs closer attention.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You now have information that can influence that decision you planned to make. But the clever Cat will consult a trusted friend or family member before making a major move.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: You’re finding that more doors are opening for you to show what you can do, and you don’t even have to knock very hard to get the attention you’re seeking.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your gift for creating order out of chaos will help you deal with a sudden rush of responsibilities that would threaten someone less able to balance his or her priorities.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations. Your energy levels are coming right back up to normal

-- just in time to help you tackle some worthwhile challenges and make some important choices.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to De-cember 21) The sage Sagittarian should demand a full explanation of inconsisten-cies that might be cropping up in what had seemed to be a straightforward deal.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A conflict between obliga-tions to family and to the job can create stressful problems. Best advice: Balance your dual priorities so that one doesn’t outweigh the other.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t guess, speculate or gossip about that so-called mystery situation at the workplace. Bide your time. An expla-nation will be forthcoming very soon.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Boredom might be creeping in and causing you to lose interest in a repeat project. Deal with it by flipping over your usual routine and finding a new way to do an old task.

BORN THIS WEEK: You can warm the coldest heart with your lyrical voice and bright smile. You find yourself at home, wherever you are.

Thank you Officer Breann Leath for your sacrifice!

Former Roncalli High School and University of Indianapolis standout Paul Corsaro is returning to the Southside.

Corsaro, who still holds records at each school, is UIndy’s next men’s basketball head coach, announced Scott Young, senior associate athletics director and future vice president of intercollegiate athletics.

A UIndy alumnus, Corsaro previously served as an assistant coach for the Greyhounds for six seasons prior to spending the last two years in the same capacity at Purdue Fort Wayne.

“We were looking for someone familiar with the city of Indianapolis and UIndy, and someone who has a passion and energy for the game of basketball,” Young stated in a UIndy press release. “Paul checks all the boxes we were looking for in our next head coach.”

An Indianapolis native and graduate of Roncalli, Corsaro’s time on the UIndy bench coincided with some of the most successful seasons in school history.

He aided the Greyhounds during four 20-win seasons as an as-sistant, including four consecutive NCAA tournament berths from 2013-16. He helped guide the Hounds to a combined 49 wins in 2013-14 and 2014-15 campaigns, with the latter’s 25 victories good

Scott Young will serve as the next vice president for intercolle-giate athletics at the University of Indianapolis.

Young will assume the role September 1, following the retire-ment of Sue Willey, who served in the position for 17 of her 45 years of service to the UIndy.

During his 26-year career at the UIndy, Young has served in numerous roles, most recently as senior associate athletic director for compliance. His achievements include regulating all compliance for 23 NCAA sports programs at the university, oversight of the sports medicine and sports infor-mation departments and multiple athletic programs, and as tourna-ment director for NCAA playoff games and tournaments.

“Scott demonstrates an equal commitment to University of India-napolis and to the principles of excellence that define our campus cul-ture,” said president Robert L. Manuel. “Scott’s dedication to account-ability and clear communication, combined with his innovative ideas for growing our athletics program both in terms of public awareness and in breadth, will be a vital asset in university initiatives including recruit-ment and retention.”

Willey praised Scott for his many roles for more than one quarter of a century at UIndy.

“Scott is a dedicated UIndy person through and through,” Willey said. “His love for the institution will be a constant support for athletics and the university.”

President Manuel also noted Willey’s legacy that catapulted UIndy athletics to national recognition and countless accolades, including 90 academic All-America honorees, a mark that is in the top ten in NCAA Division II.

Corsaro becomes UIndy men’s basketball coach

Paul Corsaro

for the most by a Greyhound squad in 50 years. The ‘14-15 club spent nine weeks ranked in the top 10, including a two-week stay at No. 1, before earning the program’s first-ever “Sweet 16” berth.

Corsaro moved on to Purdue Fort Wayne as an assistant under head coach Jon Coffman in 2018. The Mastodons amassed 32 wins in Corsaro’s two seasons, including a third-place finish in the Summit League in 2018-19.

“This is his dream job; he’s a Greyhound through and through,” outgoing UIndy vice president of intercollegiate athletics Sue Willey stated. “I’m excited to see him grow the tradition here and continue this legacy.”

Corsaro succeeds coach Stan Gouard, who accepted a similar posi-tion at the University of Southern Indiana.

“Stan was my coach and my boss while at UIndy,” Corsaro said. “He has continued to be a mentor and friend. It is a privilege to be his successor.”

As a two-sport student-athlete at UIndy, Corsaro earned three var-sity letters playing basketball for Gouard and three more as a member of the Greyhound football team (2009-10, ‘12).

He was a part of Gouard’s first NCAA Tournament team in 2011 and a member of the Hounds’ first DII football playoff team in 2012. He still holds the modern football program record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with eight in 2010.

Gourd remarked, “Paul gave his heart and soul to me, our pro-gram, the community, and UIndy for nine years. He was a vital part of the successes we had during his tenure as a student-athlete and assistant coach.”

At Roncalli, Corsaro was a two-sport star and still holds school records in each sport. He was the Rebels’ quarterback on their 2005 Class 4A state championship. Corsaro played college football at Youngstown State in fall 2008 and later transferred to UIndy where he also played basketball and football.

Corsaro graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communication in 2012 and a master’s in business administration in 2014, both from UIndy.

Greenwood Christian Academy Champ McCorkle, a 6-5 multi-position player, is among the top basketball players in Indiana, according to the Indiana Basketball Coaches Associa-tion (IBCA).

McCorkle was among 15 players named on the 2020 IBCA/Subway small school senior all-state team.

The 6-6 forward helped lead GCA to the school’s first back-to-back sectional championships and a 24-1 won-lost record. The Cougars, coached by Jonny Marlin, were ranked No. 1 in 1A polls during part of the season. McCorkle averaged 15.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.

Five Southside players earned honorable mention all-state, including Jujuan Allison, Beech Grove; Andrew Anderson, Greenwood Christian; Gavin Dowling, Greenwood; Brevin Jef-ferson, Southport; and Derek Peterson, Greenwood Christian.

Underclass all-state honorable mention players from the Southside included Styles McCorkle, Greenwood Christian; and Javon Small, Franklin Central.

IBCA also named its all-academic all-state teams for boys and girls. A total of 240 boys and girls were honored by the IBCA with 15 players from the Southside.

The boys team included honorable mention: Spencer Aar-on, Greenwood; Nick Duffey, Greenwood; Ryan Lezon, South-port; Matt Munoz, Southport; Nicholas Spearing, Roncalli;

Center Grove’s Claire Rake and Roncalli’s Alana Vinson were girls’ first-team all-academic all-state. Girls’ honorable mention from the Southside were Ella Brewer, Franklin Cen-tral; Kayden Casey; Southport; Alainna Frankel, Center Grove; Lexie Green, Southport; Eleanor Hammerschmitt, Roncalli; Emily Rake, Center Grove; Mary Rose Roesener, Roncalli; and Makenzie Ross; Roncalli.

All-academic players were nominated by IBCA-member head coaches based on academic criteria including a 3.5 GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale, class rank in upper 25 percent of senior’s class, an SAT score of 1,100 (reading and math sec-tions) or an ACT composite score of 24. Athletic performance is also considered.

An IBCA committee selects players after being nominated.

IBCA honors GCA’s Champ McCorkle

By Megan HiderWellness TrainerSandra EskenaziMental Health Center

The widespread COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world tremendously in the last several weeks leaving many people in the U.S. frightened, isolated and confused with the travel restric-tions that have been mandated by state and local officials.

He cited her many years of service to UIndy athletics and for posi-tioning the department of intercollegiate athletics to greater heights.

Looking ahead, Young remarked, “The standards for UIndy athletics will continue to be for our student-athletes to win as students, win as people, and win as athletes.”

He received a Bachelor of Science degree in athletic training in 1999 and a masters in curriculum and instruction in 2002, both from UIndy.

His previous roles include assistant head baseball coach and co-ordinator of game-day operations. As a member of the 2000 coaching staff, Young was inducted into the UIndy Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012 with the entire 2000 baseball squad. He has also served as an adjunct instructor in the university’s kinesiology department, and prior to joining the baseball coaching staff, he served as an athletic trainer working with baseball, basketball, football, wrestling, and soccer.

Manuel said. “Scott is ideally suited to build on the high standards of success that Sue established.”

UIndy’s department of intercollegiate athletics oversees nearly 700 student-athletes with a combined 3.32 GPA for all 23 sports. Grey-hounds programs have earned the Great Lakes Valley Conference All-Sports Trophy for eight consecutive years. UIndy won the women’s golf national championships in 2015 and 2018.

Eskenazi Health Offers Advice on Coping with COVID-19

We definitely all need to focus on our mental health during this very strange time period we’re all going through. This can be very difficult because we’re all being asked to be isolated and not everybody has family they live with and some people live alone, so even though we’re practicing social distancing for safety, we all need to stay in contact with people whether it’s our family members, friends or people we work with.

It’s also important that we communicate to the best of our abilities with family and friends we live with because we’ll be around them more than ever before, which could become stressful. Securing alone time for yourself is also important when we feel that’s what we need to do.

This is a time when we can all ask ourselves what can I learn about each family member even though I live with them. Maybe this is a chance to get to know everyone even better, and maybe you can teach your kids some hobbies that you used to do, but don’t have time for now.

With their kids always at home these days, a number of parents have been thrust into role of teacher, which for many comes as a responsibility they never imagined for themselves. In teaching your children, keep track and celebrate what you and your children accomplish together.

This could be such a fun time period of growth for children and adults, and a beautiful time for people to come together and spend a lot of meaningful time with each other. The most im-portant thing to remember is this will eventually come to an end and don’t be too hard on yourself in the process.

People who believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19 should contact their health care provider immediately. If you are ill with flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath, please call your health center or clinic before coming to your appointment. At Eskenazi Health, please call 317.880.7666 before coming to your appoint-ment. Health care professionals are available 24/7 to answer questions on symptoms and direct you to the most appropri-ate care. It is important to first call before arriving at Eskenazi Health.
