The 108th running of the Indianapolis 500 is done and dusted. After 200 laps of drama and action, it was Josef Newgarden who claimed back-to-back Indy500 victories.
However, in the Championship standings, it is Alex Palou who holds his position at the top of the order. The Spanish driver finished fifth in the Indy500, but it was enough to extend his lead in the Championship over the rest of the field.
It is now a Chip Ganassi Racing 1-2 in the IndyCar standings as Scott Dixon has moved up to second in the standings. This has lowered Team Penske driver, Will Power down to third overall.
The top Arrow McLaren driver is Pato O’Ward who after finishing second in the Indy500 finds himself in fourth in the Championship. Colton Herta is the top Andretti Global car as he sits in fifth place after an awful Indy500.
Team Penske holds sixth and seventh spot as Scott McLaughlin sits in sixth and the back-to-back Indy500 winner, Josef Newgarden is now in seventh spot.
Alexander Rossi finds himself in eighth overall, just ahead of Meyer Shank Racing driver, Felix Rosenqvist. Rounding out the top ten is Kyle Kirkwood and the Andretti Global Team.

Stop the Violence Indianapolis celebrate 11 years of ‘The Talks’ – Indianapolis Recorder
For the last 11 years, Stop the Violence Indianapolis has been helping young girls work on self-image, self-worth and self-respect.
Created in 2009 by Anthony and Beatrice Beverly, Stop the Violence Indianapolis is a community organization that aims to be a catalyst for social change. The organization is completely run with the help of volunteers and focuses on programming surrounding prevention, intervention and recovery for kids and teens in high-crime areas, Anthony Beverly said.
“Most of the work we do is on the preventative end,” Anthony Beverly said. “We work with youth and families, and we have programs like ‘The Talks’ and life coaching… We also do work in the intervention world, and we try to go deep … it’s called the Violence Intervention Process.”
“The Talks — Identifying the Mirror in Me” is a summer camp program dedicated to coaching 24 girls of color, ages 12-16 in potentially high-crime areas, Beatrice Beverly said. “The Talks” aims to fill the gaps by including support in areas that are overlooked or misunderstood. Workshops are focused on self-worth, self-image and self-respect to help educate the girls on the importance of mental health and healing traumas, conquering inequities faced in the education system and growing statistics of gun violence.

“We go in and we have real conversations,” Beatrice Beverly said. “We have conversations that include control and how sometimes it was taken away and sometimes it was given away, right? We have conversations about our educational system and how young girls are being pushed out at a higher rate than young men. We have conversations around gun violence, how the number of girls starting to carry weapons is starting to increase.”
Many of these topics are discussed in workshops with guest speakers, in healing circles, over meals and group activities such as crafting, Beatrice Beverly said. These workshops are often supplemented with outdoorsy activities — such as kayaking and canoeing — to introduce the girls to new experiences.
Each of the girls can return to camp for two years, and after they age out, they are always welcome back as interns, Beatrice Beverly said. Following the camp, the girls are invited back for different activities throughout the year as a reminder to continue giving back to their communities.
Having hosted this camp for 11 years — and Stop the Violence for 15 years — Anthony and Beatrice Beverly said the highlights are when they can see the difference, they have made in someone’s life and reinstill one’s confidence in themselves.
“When we talk about sustainability, people put that down based on the program being sustainable over time,” Beatrice Beverly said. “A program is built up to dollars, and when the dollars run out, programs cannot be sustainable over time. But what is sustainable over time is relationships: authentic, intentional, respectful and trustful, and that’s what makes it work.”
“The Talks” has had more than 250 girls go through the program, none of which have touched the juvenile system since, Beatrice Beverly said.
Stop the Violence Indianapolis aims to go deeper and build relationships with the community, including churches, nonprofits and community leaders. That way they might better help the kids and teens who go unseen, Anthony Beverly said.
Each of the programs offered through Stop the Violence Indianapolis is free, and the organization is entirely run through volunteer efforts. For more information or to register for “The Talks,” visit stoptheviolenceindy.org or call 317-692-9929.

FIDO working to keep dogs out of the heat
INDIANAPOLIS — The City of Indianapolis is getting ready to face its hottest week of the year so far.
With predicted high temperatures in the 90’s all week, many Hoosiers are prepping by limiting outside exposure. Pet advocates are asking people do the same with their dogs.
Darcy Kurtz works for the Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside. The organization, known as FIDO, works to help Indianapolis’ outside dogs in low income neighborhoods receive the resources they need to live happier and healthier lives.
According to FIDO, dogs shouldn’t remain outside for more than 20 minutes when the temperatures reaches above 90 degrees. Additionally, if your dog is acting abnormal 30 minutes after remaining outside for an extended period of time, owners of pets are encouraged to call a vet.
Despite the warnings, Kurtz feels as some will continue to leave their dogs outside.
“There are some people that just are not gonna follow the ordinances,” explained Kurtz.
On Sunday, Kurtz drove in a marked van around neighborhoods on the city’s east side searching for dogs that had been left outside in the heat.
“When it’s really hot, really cold, that’s when this job is hardest,” shared Kurtz. “You just know there’s dogs outside suffering in this that nobody knows about. You know they’re just kind of languishing unseen.”
Kurtz’s van is loaded with extra food, cages and toys to help families bring outside dogs inside during extreme temperatures.
“If they do need our help and are willing to accept our help, we’ll give them the resources to do that,” she said.
Kurtz explains that sometimes the families deny the assistance. Then should the dog remain outside, Animal Care Services can take further action.

“If we do find a dog that is really suffering outside in his heat, we may work with our friends at Animal Care Services,” explained Kurtz. “They do have the law enforcement authority to go to the home. If they don’t comply, they have the legal authority to impound a dog.”
Should you or anyone you know need assistance with an outside dog during this week’s high temperatures, you can call FIDO for assistance at 317-221-1314.
