HSE redistricting plan process unveiledBy LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

Dr. William Carnes should be a familiar name to people around the Hamilton South-eastern (HSE) school district: He served as interim super-intendent after Dr. Brian Smith left to lead the Indiana School Boards Associ-ation. He con-tinued to serve in that post until Allen Bourff reported to work as the new permanent HSE Schools superintendent.

Dr. Carnes has taken up a new interim role – assistant superintendent – as HSE Schools begins the search to replace Mike Beresford, now serving as the superintendent of schools for the Carmel Clay District.

As part of his interim responsibilities, Dr. Carnes will oversee the latest re-districting plan. With the new Southeastern Elemen-tary set to open in August 2019, redistricting will be required.

Carnes provided a timeline to the school board at last Wednesday’s meeting. The process starts with what he de-scribes as “cluster groups” meeting Sept. 10 and 11. The process ends with school board approval of the new boundaries on Dec. 12.

Here are the steps in this timeline, as presented before board members by Dr. Carnes:

• Sept. 10 and 11: Clus-ter boundary committees will meet at each of the four intermediate schools. Five to eight representa-

tives from each elementa-ry school will gather for these sessions and will look at strategies to begin the process.

• Sept. 26 and 27: Five focus groups, each represent-ing different sec-tions of the local community, will meet. Each will review the work produced by the cluster commit-tees.

• Oct. 24 and 25: The Oct. 24

meeting will be at Fish-ers High School, and the Oct. 25 meeting will be at Hamilton Southeastern High School. Each meet-ing begins at 6 p.m. Those attending will be assigned to a group working on pos-sible redistricted boundary lines. For those unable to attend, an online ques-tionnaire will be made available through 8 a.m., Nov. 2.

• Nov. 6: School dis-trict staff will meet to re-view all the input up to that point and submit a fi-nal draft recommendation to the school board.

• Nov. 20: The school board will convene a work session to review the work that has been done, and prepare a final redistrict-ing recommendation.

• Nov. 28: Superin-tendent Allen Bourff will publicly present the school administration’s recom-mended redistricting plan to the school board.

• Dec. 12: The school board will vote on the re-districting plan.

Dr. Bourff said at the meeting that board mem-bers need to communicate parameters to the cluster committees before they begin meeting Sept. 10.

Fadness proposes 3 percent pay hike for city employees, also

projects property tax increase

Photo providedMayor Fadness talks about his 2019 budget proposals with the Fishers City Council Finance Committee.

By LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

As Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness reviewed his 2019 budget proposal before the City Council Finance Committee last Wednesday night, he proj-ects a 5.5 cent increase in the city’s property tax rate. He told the council panel that this would fund debt on two fronts – paying for the Nickel Plate Trail construction and financing renovation projects for the city’s fire stations in need of the work.

The mayor said a lot of the property tax rate increase is tied to the

fire stations.“We’ve built in a pret-

ty aggressive financial scenario for the fire sta-tions, where we’re basi-cally building in a $2.5 million annual payment to pay for the fire stations, so that we can get ahead of this and deal with it,” Fadness told the council committee members.

The mayor is also pro-posing that a 3 percent pay increase be included in the budget for next year. The 3 percent raise would also apply to elected city officials.

Fadness is also recom-mending five new police officers to the force, with

two of those five to be as-signed as resource officers in Hamilton Southeastern Schools. He also wants council members to add three new firefighter posi-tions.

The projections for the city tax rate show a slight decrease in years 2020 and 2021.

City Controller Lisa Bradford told the commit-tee she ran some numbers on how much the rate in-crease would cost home-owners in 2019. She looked at a home with an assessed value of $208,000, and projects a tax increase of approximately $57 a year. Homes with a higher as-

sessed valuation may hit the property tax cap, and that can get a bit more complicated.

Both Bradford and Fadness told the council panel that the largest driv-er of local property tax increases is not tied to the tax rate, but is created by an increase in the home’s assessed valuation.

Fadness is pleased with what is projected in the revenue side of the 2019 budget, with assessed val-uations of property in the city rising. The assessed value is expected to rise 5.3 percent in 2019, compared to a 3.7 percent increase in 2018.

The REPORTERIn Reader’s Digest,

travel author Melissa Klur-man recently included Hamilton County on her list that offers up “41 Mini Family Vacations That Won’t Break the Bank.”

Hamilton County is in good company. The col-lection includes such ex-otic destinations as San Juan and Maui, as well as U.S. cities and locations that traditionally attract vacationers, such as Cape Cod, Niagara Falls and New Orleans.

In her article, Ms. Klur-man writes “These great getaways offer big fun on a small budget. We’ve round-ed up choices all around the country, so a fabulous family vacation is always right around the corner, even if you only have a day or two.”

In the section of the arti-cle touting Hamilton Coun-ty, Strawtown Koteewi Park is specifically singled out for its affordable, yet adventure-filled offerings: “Spend time in the great (free) outdoors at Straw-town Koteewi Park, which features a canoe launch on the White River for boating and fishing, nature trails for hiking or cycling, equestri-an trails, an archery center, and a treetop course.”

Along with the county’s largest park, other notable Hamilton County destina-tions are recommended, including the Nickel Plate Express and Conner Prairie.

Strawtown Koteewi Park gets Reader’s Digest recognition

The REPORTERHamilton County Sher-

iff Mark Bowen announced last week that Captain Den-nis Quakenbush will serve on the Senior Advisory Committee for the U.S. De-partment of Homeland Se-curity (DHS).

Bowen said, “Captain Quakenbush’s knowledge and expertise will be as valuable an asset to the committee as it is to the community we all enjoy. He is highly qualified and will

serve Hamilton County and Indi-ana well.”

The Senior Advisory Com-mittee supports the National Pre-paredness Goal, the purpose of which is to pre-pare communi-ties for all types of disas-ters and emergencies with a five-prong approach of prevention, protection, mit-igation, response and re-

covery. Among the committee’s responsibilities are integrating preparedness ac-tivities across disciplines and working with local, state, trib-al and territorial government agen-

cies to maximize coordina-tion and reduce duplication of efforts.

Funds are provided to states by DHS to support efforts in strengthening national preparedness and resilience, with an overall objective of preventing ter-rorism and other catastroph-ic events, as well as prepar-ing for threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Unit-ed States. The committee does its part in achieving these objectives by ensuring that Indiana awards funds for projects and initiatives that support and enhance the ability to prevent, pro-tect, mitigate, respond and recover from both natural

and man-made threats and disasters.

Quakenbush said, “I’m excited about this oppor-tunity as it aligns with our goal to keep Hamilton County one of the safest communities in the nation. We can accomplish this by including the private sector, non-profit organizations, faith-based and community organizations and all levels of government throughout Indiana. Our goal is to max-imize the effectiveness of resources and tax dollars. I am proud to represent Ham-ilton County and Indiana in this way.”

Quakenbush currently serves as the Commander of the Patrol Division for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and is a lead for the law enforcement emergency support function in Emer-gency Management. He has attended multiple command and executive level courses through the Indiana Depart-ment of Homeland Security, FEMA and federal, state and local agencies.

History, development can both win in this plan

One of Ham-ilton County's oldest homes will be preserved while surround-ing acreage is de-veloped with 237 new homes in a somewhat unusu-al cooperative ef-fort involving the developer and local historians.

Many times in our rapidly devel-oping county, landmark structures are lost in the tide of new construction. But, in the case of Hull-Brennan house near Keystone Parkway and Smoky Row Road, history and development will both win if current plans succeed.

The house involved started as a pi-oneer log cabin in 1834. The William Wilkinson family members later add-ed a large two-story brick house to the cabin in 1853.

The property was owned and oc-cupied by members of the Hull and Brennan families for more than 100 years. William Hull died there about three years ago, and Brennan heirs placed the property for sale.

Old Town Companies, headed by Carmel native Justin Moffett, will purchase the 60-acre parcel, assuming re-zoning is granted. Old Town plans

103 single family homes and 134 condominium units, and will save the historic house probably for use as a "community gathering space."

The re-zone request goes to the Carmel Plan Commission at their September meeting. Members of the Carmel Clay Historical Society, who brought the house to the attention of local officials, have indicated ap-proval of the development plans. The

historical society called upon Indi-ana Landmarks Inc. for assistance in documenting the historic value of the project house.

The new development will be named The Overlook, and three acres of the site will be devoted to the pio-neer homestead, which was once part of a 630-acre tract received by Wil-liam Wilkinson in an 1822 land grant from the federal government.

What song describes the future of U.S. 31 for northern Hamilton County?

Among the most prevalent topics discussed by the Hamilton County Business Issues Commit-tee (consisting of all four county chamber pres-idents and one business repre-sentative) is infrastructure. On their current radar:

• 146th Street and Alli-sonville Road

• State Road 37 • 236th Street and U.S. 31• 276th Street and U.S. 31

The latter two interchang-es play an im-portant role in the future suc-cess of north-ern Hamilton County. 276th Street is used by companies such as Beck’s Hy-

brids and Reynolds Farm Equipment, both of which are big employers to the northern region of not only our county but surrounding counties as well.

For the 236th Street

intersection, a traffic light prompts a decision: West to Sheridan or East to Cicero. At one point, a “Michigan left” was be-ing discussed for this lo-cation, but common sense prevailed. I think we’ve all come to agree that the only things “Michi-gan” that Indiana needs is Jim Harbaugh (this is where Ohio State fans stop reading) or maybe the Tim Allen voiceover in the “Pure Michigan” promotions.

So why does this mat-

ter? Because if not stra-tegically and proactively approached, it changes the way northern Hamilton County looks in the future as well as what existing businesses do to continue to grow.

I encourage you to let your county and state elected officials know that this is an important proj-ect for Hamilton County as well.

Let’s hope you get more of a Willie Nelson, “On the Road Again” ver-sus “Hit the Road, Jack.”

Mo Merhoff: Stoptolerating intolerance

If there’s a gift we’ve been given from the recent abhorrent vandal-ism at the Shaary Tefilla Temple, it’s the less-than-subtle reminder that prejudice and hatred isn’t gone. Not from the world, not from our country and not from our communities.

As Governor Holcomb has shown, it’s provided some impetus for us to ad-dress the fact that Indiana remains one of only five states in the country with-out a hate crimes bill. While we’d argue it’s pretty disap-pointing we need any more reasons to get off that short list, it’s focused our atten-tion, and provided us with an opportunity to get some-thing done. We support the governor’s view.

There are those who will counter that no one can legislate fairness, nor eliminate bigotry with a law. True. Others will ar-gue that we need a lot fewer laws, not more. Arguably, also true.

But even if the recent incident doesn’t upset your own personal principles or strike you as in conflict

with the sense of fairness our coun-try has strived for centuries to por-tray, inclusion is a business issue. Those businesses we hope to at-tract to Indiana, as well as those we hope to retain,

want to hire the best and brightest employees they can find. Even the percep-tion that Indiana chooses to dismiss the significance of an inclusive culture can be detrimental to our econom-ic development efforts.

Indiana already suf-fers from a lack of strong population growth. We’re growing at almost half the average of other states. There is no reason our cul-ture should be labeled as something it’s not, simply because we want to avoid legislation that makes it clear we don’t choose nor support inclusion and diversity.

Simply put, Indiana won’t make anybody’s short list if we dismiss this need nor presume it doesn’t matter. It does.

Indiana should pass hate crimes legislation. We need to stop tolerating intolerance.

Since taking office, Fad-ness has touted his vision to make Fishers a smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial city. Through the establish-ment of Launch Fishers and the IoT Lab, Fadness has helped Fishers stand apart from other communities as a hub for technology and innovation.

“As long as we have the courage, energy and en-trepreneurial spirit to take what is happening globally – embrace it and adapt – we will continue to be a strong community. When we ap-proach challenges with innovation, we succeed,” said Fadness.

Fadness’ vision for Fishers includes making it a city where residents can live, work and play in the same community. Efforts to revitalize downtown, re-cruit businesses and expand quality of life initiatives have contributed to Fishers’ growing success.

One of Fadness’ high-est priorities has been the development and execu-tion of a city mental health initiative partnering with schools, health care pro-viders and community organizations to remove the stigma around mental

health issues, raise aware-ness and prevent suicide. As a result of his efforts, he received the Government Leader Award from Mental Health America of Indiana (MHAI).

In addition to leading efforts to make Fishers a safe, strong city, Fadness has focused on increasing quality of life and enter-tainment amenities that attract and retain both res-idents and visitors. High-lights among them include the attraction of Ikea, Topgolf, the new down-town amphitheater, the na-tion’s largest urban farm – Agripark, the recent an-nouncement of the Geist public park project and the upcoming Yard project.

Mayor Fadness con-cluded, “This is an incred-ible time for our city and I am committed to fulfilling the vision. With the sup-port of our residents, we can continue this important work that will make Fishers one of the best places to live in America for a long time.”

families who have survived violence and are referred by Prevail Inc. The other eight units will be occupied by seniors age 55 and older.

Including a playground at Home Place Gardens is important because it gives resident families and their guests a recreational option close to home, HAND Ex-ecutive Director Jennifer Miller said when accepting the grant at Carmel Rota-ry’s Aug. 3 lunch meeting.

“We hope the play-ground can help these children feel a little sense of normalcy in a very dif-ficult situation,” said Car-mel Rotary Club President Jon Walker.

Constructed on 2.4 acres south of 106th Street between College Avenue and the Monon Greenway, Home Place Gardens will welcome tenants beginning this month.

The $2.6 million proj-ect was funded with loans and grants from the Indi-ana Housing & Communi-ty Development Authority,

Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, Hamilton County, Prevail Inc., Cross-er Family Foundation and Woodforest National Bank.

The playground equip-ment was funded separate-ly. In addition to the Rota-ry, contributors included 100+ Women of Hamilton County and Meyer Najem Construction. At least one volunteer work day will be scheduled for this fall to prepare the site for play.

The REPORTERThe Noblesville Fire

Department Emergency Medical Services recent-ly received the American Heart A s s o c i a t i o n ’s Mission: Life-line® EMS Gold Award for imple-menting life-sav-ing practices for patients who ex-perience severe heart attacks.

The Nobles-ville Fire Department was honored for its efforts to improve the systems of care for patients with acute cor-onary syndrome, including both ST elevation myocar-dial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) heart attacks.

Every year, more than 250,000 people experience STEMI heart attacks, which are the most deadly type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart. This type of heart attack requires timely treat-ment, and EMS providers play a vital role as they per-form 12-lead ECGs, which measure the electrical activ-ity of the heart and can help determine if a heart attack has occurred.

Healthcare providers’ actions during the first few hours of a heart attack de-termine the patient’s level of benefit from interven-tion and treatment. Nobles-ville Fire Department EMS worked to enhance collabo-ration with hospital provid-ers while treating high-risk patients, thereby enhanc-ing the quality of care for STEMI patients.

“We are grateful for part-ners like Riverview Health who provide outstanding medical direction, training,

and equipment which enhances our agencies abil-ity to recognize and treat STEMI patients quick-ly and efficient-ly,” said James Macky, Division Chief of Emer-gency Medical Services for the

Noblesville Fire Depart-ment. “This high honor from the American Heart Asso-ciation recognizes the high quality care our paramedics and EMTs provide to No-blesville residents and our strong partnerships within our area. We are very proud of our EMS providers.”

The 2018 Mission: Life-line EMS Gold Award recip-ients were evaluated based on criteria relating to the care of STEMI patients. Those that received the award demonstrated at least 75 per-cent compliance for each re-quired achievement measure for two consecutive years, achieved a silver or gold award in the previous year, and treated at least eight STEMI patients in 2017.

Mission: Lifeline is a coordinated, proactive sys-tem of care that turns first responders, hospitals and other healthcare providers into a team that uses proven guidelines and best practic-es to treat cardiac patients. The goal is to save lives by closing the gaps in STEMI patient care and providing innovative tools and mea-sures to improve the speed and quality of care.

Noblesville Fire receives Lifeline EMS Gold AwardBy STU CLAMPITT

A Community Emer-gency Response Team (CERT) is a group of orga-nized and trained volunteer disaster workers that oper-ates at the neighborhood level. Free training from the Hamilton County Emer-gency Management Agen-cy (EMA) can help you be prepared to help when the worst happens.

When disaster strikes, CERT volunteers spring into action: They are trained to suppress small fires, con-duct light urban search and rescue, and provide emer-gency medical aid and psy-chological comfort to their neighbors.

In the post-disaster en-vironment, CERT members assist in the community during the crisis. CERTs may also be called upon to help in other areas during emergencies even when their own neighborhood is not impacted.

The CERT Program prepares these volunteers with 20 hours of classroom and hands-on training. The training is provided by volunteer “subject matter” experts such as firefighters, EMTs and building safety personnel.

Hamilton County Emer-gency Management Execu-tive Director Shane Booker has been involved in CERT classes in Hamilton County since 2015.

“The free training teaches people how to help their families and their neighbors,” Booker told The Reporter. “If a disas-ter impacts a neighborhood and police and fire cannot get in, the CERT group helps with search and res-cue, medical triage and first aid. It is a great resource for our county.”

The training is spread over nine weeks, taking only a couple hours each week.

“We ask people to com-mit to nine nights,” Booker said. “We have different topics for each night. The classes are from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Wednesday evening, and we have one Saturday morning. They all build upon one another. At the end they take a written ex-amination and a skills test, and graduate – when they receive a backpack provid-ed by the county. It includes personal protective equip-ment, a wrench to shut off utilities, a crowbar, triage tape, medical supplies – a whole host of things. We swear them in as emergen-cy management volunteers. We also offer them insur-ance, in the event they are injured while helping in an emergency they would be covered for medical treatment.”

Booker considers this training to be a benefit to both the individuals attend-ing the classes and the en-tire community.

“CERT is a great re-source for the community,” Booker said. “It is a value to the individual because of the skills they learn and what they can apply at home – which of course will help their families – but at the same time the more neighborhoods we can get on board with this, the more it can help the whole county.”

“The program goes back to late 2010,” CERT Program Coordinator Jon Baldwin told The Reporter. “I came in in early 2012. About 145 people have been trained in that time. CERT as a program from FEMA goes back to the mid-80s and had city-based teams – specifically Car-mel and Westfield – prior to 2010. They also trained people. My rough estimate is that about 300 people to-tal have had this training.”

Baldwin said the aver-age class size is 15 people.

“The foundation of this training is that is something bad is happening in your local neighborhood, un-der the protections of the Good Samaritan Act, you are allowed to go out and use those skills,” Baldwin said. “Hopefully you have enough neighbors who have taken the training so you can function as a team because it is a team effort. The idea of the CERT pro-gram is to learn to work together as a team: How to watch out for our safety; some basic first aid; how to triage the way the first re-sponders do.”

According to Baldwin, part of the philosophy of the training is to be able to be self-sufficient as a group for up to 72 hours. That is a common theme FEMA has been promoting for years for personal families.

“If something happens in an area where EMA thinks CERT volunteers might be helpful, they con-

tact me in my office and I alert and activate volun-teers by sending a message out to all the CERT volun-teers we have to see who is available,” Baldwin said.

According to Booker, people who go through the training enjoy it and can use the skills to give back to their communities in a variety of ways.

“When I became the director in February, one of the things I wanted to make sure we did was to provide these folks with a way to give back to the communi-ty,” Booker said. “We have been working with public safety special event orga-nizers to figure out what people can do to help sup-port the community. Vol-unteers have worked at the Noblesville Street Dance, worked intersections at the Noblesville parades, helped with parking in Fishers, they were out as eyes and ears to help people at Ci-cero’s Lights Over Morse Lake fireworks.”

At events like the No-blesville Street Dance and Light Over Morse Lake, CERT volunteers use pub-lic safety radios on the same channel as first responders.

“We have been doing outreach events,” Baldwin said. “For example, the cit-ies of Carmel, Fishers and Westfield have what they call ‘Public Safety Days’ in which fire, EMS and police show equipment. The idea to try to attract families and children to explain how

they spend your tax dollars on equipment and here are the services we provide. It is similar to the ‘touch a truck’ programs that some places put on. We have done those things, and recently we have had a chance to support local events as trained, organized, trustable volunteers.”

Baldwin also makes presentations at businesses and civic groups like the Rotary and American Le-gion. You can contact him via email at [email protected] for more information.

Since 1982 when it was called Community Night, the Westfield Chamber of Commerce has held a community awards dinner and presentation to honor Westfield’s exceptional res-idents and businesses.

In 2007, the event be-came known as The Lan-tern Awards and is held each September. The chamber’s awards follow a lantern theme with the indi-vidual awards being named for the parts of a lantern to honor Westfield’s history and ties to the Underground Railroad.

Also recognized are individuals from Westfield Washington Schools, the City of Westfield, Westfield Public Works and Westfield police and fire departments.

Nominations are ac-cepted from the public and members of the chamber’s board of directors evaluate and select the chamber’s recipients. The remaining recipients are chosen by their respective organiza-tion.

This year for our Busi-ness of the Year Award we will be voting between the two nominees.

Nickel Plate Trail Committee selects two firms for master planBy LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

Fishers is moving for-ward with plans to develop the Nickel Plate Trail, the former rail line running through the city. NBBJ and Ex2 Partners will work col-laboratively to develop a master plan for the Nickel Plate Trail from 96th Street to 146th Street in Fishers.

Those two firms will be working with Indianap-olis-based strategic con-sulting firm, Ex2 Partners, who are known for their approach to community en-

gagement and branding.“Combined, NBBJ and

Ex2 Partners bring global experience and local ex-pertise to what promises to be an engaging process for our city and residents,” said committee co-chair Amanda Welu in a city news release.

The committee and selected contractors will be looking at activation spaces and design ele-ments, including vari-ous types of intersection crossings. The City of Fishers engineering team will evaluate each cross-

ing to determine whether an “at grade” crossing or separated grade crossing is appropriate. At this time, 116th Street is the only intersection that has been evaluated, with a recom-mendation for a separated grade via tunnel.

“Our committee’s vi-sion is to create a desti-nation like no other with the Nickel Plate Trail that harnesses the heritage and entrepreneurial spirit of Fishers,” said committee co-chair John Weingardt, Fishers City Councilman. “Resident input will be in-

strumental in developing a robust master plan for the experience of the Trail. People of all ages are excit-ed to give their ideas, and we can’t wait to hear them.”

The committee plans public outreach efforts, ex-pected to begin this fall in Fishers. Those interested in learning more may email [email protected]. The Trail will extend beyond Fishers to the north and south, therefore, the City of Noblesville and the City of Indianapolis are also pro-viding input into the master planning process.

24,000-seat venue turned to social media with questions about why the Rascal Flatts’ concert was cut short and fans forced to leave.

Jordan Bentley tweeted, “Don’t blame @rascalflatts for how their concert ended. They can’t help that a few stupid people threatened the safety of everyone in the venue. I’d rather walk out disappointed that I didn’t

hear a couple songs than carried out on a stretch-er or in a body bag. Great job RF!”

Caitlyn Conlon tweeted, “Something bad happened at Rascal Flatts tonight. Se-curity guards had us scared. Told us things were not ok.”

All regular school check-in
