Bright future for Hamilton County solar powerBy FRED SWIFT

Hamilton County government is enter-ing the age of solar power.

Commissioners this week approved plans for a solar energy system that will provide for the energy needs of the county corrections complex and the county health department. The buildings on Cumberland Road include the county jail, juvenile de-tention center, women's lockup and work release center.

Solar panels, mounted either of roof-tops or on pedestals in an open area, con-vert energy from sunlight to electricity. The system the county will be using will supply enough power to meet the needs for light-ing, heating and air conditioning.

The solar system is designed to save

the cost of electricity. It is already in use at the Sheridan Community Schools, the first school system in the state to go solar. Re-ports indicate it is working well.

County officials are told their new sys-tem proposed by Johnson-Melloh of Indi-anapolis, will pay for itself in eight years. The cost of purchase and installation is $8.1 million. The County Council will consider methods of financing at their June meet-ing. The county is in a position to use cash, lease rental or bonding for the financing.

Debt retirement will be paid by the money budgeted annually for utilities.

The solar panels will be located on county-owned ground on the east side of State Road 37 north of the health depart-ment. More solar power is being consid-

ered at the Government and Judicial Center when it is expanded next year.

Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt says the use of solar has been considered for several years, but only now with electric rates going up 5.5 percent and the cost of the solar systems going down dramatically does it make sense to adopt this type sys-tem. The conversion to solar power will be undertaken in two phases. A second phase is planned later when the county jail is ex-panded.

Heirbrandt said energy saving steps have been underway for some time with a savings of $68,000 per year using various methods of new technology. Utility costs are among the largest expenses in county government.

News 5TRANSIT

from Page 1Then, the commissioners and county

council members talked about their re-spective duties.

The commissioners provided a run-down on several capital projects in the works, including upgrades to county buildings in Noblesville, 146th Street, Pleasant Street in Noblesville and State Road 37.

Council members explained their fiscal priorities and their efforts to keep the tax rates stable.

When it came time for questions from the audience – transit, the Nickel Plate Rail Line and parking in down-town Noblesville were all submitted.

Commissioner Christine Altman de-scribed herself as a “transit advocate,” but doesn’t see much movement on that front.

“To bring transit to Hamilton Coun-ty, it will take other revenue,” said Alt-man. “There is no way we can provide

transit services, in addition to our other responsibilities, without additional rev-enue. The mechanisms are in place in the statute but, quite honestly, I don’t foresee that happening in the county right now with the current disposition.”

County Councilman Fred Glynn said local transit doesn’t make sense to him, since Hamilton County residents would be paying for it, and it would mainly be transporting Marion County workers to Hamilton County jobs. He pointed to a plan in Silicon Valley paid for by local employers to fund transit for their em-ployees.

Altman also reminded the Cham-ber audience that the Nickel Plate Line is owned jointly by Hamilton County, Fishers and Noblesville.

“If the two communities (Fishers & Noblesville) want to do that (create a trail), I think legally they can parti-tion that track,” Altman said. “We don’t

think that’s a good idea. We will bank that (Nickel Plate) Rail Line, which means that if the winds change politi-cally, it can be re-established as a transit line.”

The Indianapolis Transit Red Line, which does not include Fishers, could run through Hamilton County, but Alt-man points to funding as the barrier.

The group also talked about parking issues in downtown Noblesville. Com-missioner Steve Dillinger says he never

has any problem finding a parking space near the county government buildings.

One question was asked about the organization of county government in Indiana. The consensus among all the county officials at the event was to keep everything as is. They want to continue having three county commissioners, as opposed to one county executive. They also agreed the township trustee system works well in Hamilton County and should not be changed.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorAfter getting hit in the first inning of

the Hoosier Conference baseball champi-onship game, the Huskies hit back.

Hamilton Heights recovered from a2-0 first-inning deficit to stun LafayetteCentral Catholic 4-2 to win the confer-ence title. The Huskies took the lead withthree runs in the third inning, and usedstellar pitching and defense to stop anycomeback attempts by the Class 2A No.1 Knights, who were hosting the game.

"Our kids are extremely confident,"said Heights coach Matt Wallace. "We'renot superstars at anything, but we have alot of grit. We have a lot of selflessnessand our kids just come to compete eachinning, every game."

The Huskies got on the board afterloading the bases with one out in the topof the third. Reese Wills came up to batand put the ball in play, and LCC tried toget the out at home. But the ball wasoverthrown, which resulted in NoahWallace and Austin Sauerteig scoring.

With that, the game was tied. Minuteslater, Cole Meyer batted in Luke Thesierwith a fielder's choice RBI. Thesier waspinch-running for Max Wahl; he loadedthe bases with a perfect bunt down theleft foul line.

Heights got a big defensive play in thebottom of the fourth inning, whenMichael Cross threw the ball in from rightfield to catcher Gabe Reel, who taggedan LCC runner who was trying to score.

"One thing we've worked hard on isbeing aggressive and come and getting it,and he really charged that ball and madejust a bullet throw," said Matt Wallace.

"It was perfect."The very next inning, Reel made a big

offensive play. He blasted a two-outdouble into center field to score Sau-erteig. What could've been a 3-3 gamehad suddenly turned into a 4-2 lead forthe Huskies.

"Gabe has been probably our mostclutch RBI guy all year in that five-hole,"said Wallace. "We've got a lot of guysahead of him that get on base, and we'vekind of kept him there all year as a guyto really knock in runs, and he came

through again tonight."Wills pitched a complete game for

Heights, and pitched outstanding. Whilehe only had one strikeout, he was amaster of efficiency, inducing easygroundouts for the infield and pop-upsthat the Huskies' outfield disposed of withno trouble.

"He was on," said Wallace. "Reese isa competitor. He wanted the ball from theget-go. He's done that his whole careerhere at Heights. I was not surprised. Hewas just efficient. He put the ball where

he wanted it all night."Wills got out of the fifth inning in

only five pitches, and only needed eightpitches to take care of the sixth.

"That was a key for us, because thatwas also the heart of their order," saidWallace.

Sauerteig finished the game 3-for-4with two runs scored. Wills totaled twoRBIs for the night.
