Prosecutor recognizes Hamilton County’s Officers of the Year

The REPORTEREach year, Prosecuting

Attorney D. Lee Bucking-ham II recognizes two officers in honor of each Hamilton County officer's distinguished service to the community and the pursuit of justice. One in-vestigator (usually holding an assignment as a detective) and one road officer are selected from the nominations gar-nered from within the Prose-cuting Attorney's Office.

At a ceremony held on Jan. 16 in the Commissioner's Courtroom at the Hamilton County Judicial Center in No-blesville, Prosecuting Attor-ney Buckingham said, "It is never easy to select the recip-ients of this award because of the difficulty in selecting just one recipient in each category from the many viable candi-dates within the county. Many of those who choose this pro-fession and are selected to rep-resent the departments within this county are dedicated, hard-working individuals who strive to be the best that they can be."

Buckingham recognized Sergeant Greg Weesner of the

Fishers Police Department as the Road Officer of the Year for 2017. Sergeant Weesner is simply one of the nicest guys to everyone he meets – be it a prosecutor, a defense counsel, or, especially helpful to his in-vestigations, an offender. His understanding of search-and-seizure law is exceptional, and his gut instincts are quite honed. His cases continue to improve, as he learns from each experience. After serv-ing for five years with the Charleston (South Carolina) Police Department, Sergeant Weesner joined the Fishers Police Department in 2012.

Buckingham recognized Detective Scott Goff of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office as Investigator of the Year for 2017. As an investi-gator, Det. Goff works a va-riety of cases but has several in the sex crimes and child abuse arenas. A road officer for the Sheriff's Office from 2007 to 2015, Det. Goff has been an investigator for a little over two years but has distin-guished himself with thor-oughness, diligence and a de-sire to learn more every day.

Schwartz to run for re-electionThe REPORTER

Steve Schwartz, Hamilton County Coun-cil District 3, currently serving as Council President, is seeking re-election in the May 2018 primary.

Since 2003, Schwartz, a fiscal con-servative, has helped create over $50 mil-lion in surplus and rainy day funds for the County. Under his ten-ure, Hamilton County is one of the most fi-nancially sound coun-ties in the State and has maintained one of the lowest tax rates of the 92 counties of Indiana.

Schwartz’s cooperation and team ef-fort with the County Commissioners, the executive and legislative branch of County Government, has made Hamilton County the number one county in nearly every rat-ing category. Schwartz has often challenged other members of the Council for unity with the commissioners to create success for Hamilton County.

Schwartz will continue to be a leader to support Hamilton County growth, public safety, road and bridge building, mainte-nance and cities and towns working together for the benefit of Hamilton County.

Jury duty telephone scam reappears in Hamilton County

The REPORTERThe Sheriff’s Office has received sev-

eral calls regarding a jury duty scam, so Sheriff Mark Bowen is once again remind-ing area residents of a pervasive telephone scam that leaves vic-tims open to theft and identity theft. The jury duty scam, along with the IRS scam, tax war-rant scam, relative in need scam, home im-provement scam and others, come and go in cycles but all require potential victims to be aware of the issues. Most recently, the jury duty scam has once again come to the forefront.

ITM to pullout from

NoblesvilleBy FRED SWIFTReadTheReporter.com

The Indiana Transportation Museum (ITM), which has made its home in No-blesville since the early 1960s, has decided to leave and move its operations entirely to Logansport "and other locations," according to museum board president John McNich-ols. "The decision was not up to us," he said referring to the Noblesville city administra-tion's failure to renew the lease on a parcel at Forest Park where the museum is located. In recent years to ITM was the only user of the local railroad known as the Nickel Plate.

Controversy has developed during the past year over the city's desire to convert the Nickel Plate to a walking, jogging and bike trail south of the city and give a new operator

The jury duty scam work like this:

The scammer calls claiming to work for the lo-cal court of Sheriff’s office and informs the victim of a failure to report for jury duty. The victim is told that an arrest warrant has been issued for failure to report for jury duty. The victim will rightly claim that a jury duty notification was never received. The scammer will then either pressure the vic-tim into sending money by prepaid credit card or wire transfer to take care of the warrant or ask the victim for confidential information to “verify” the warrant. Caller ID may show the call origi-nating from an official num-

ber and the scammer may provide a callback number.

Arrest warrants in Hamilton County are nev-er served by telephone. To verify an active warrant, call 317-773-9800, option 2. Do not assume Caller ID or a callback number are legitimate. Scammers may also use names of local law enforcement officers or court officials to make the call seem more realistic. Do not be tempted to give out private information such as date of birth, social security number, or credit card num-bers over the phone. Never be pressured into making a hasty decision over the telephone and always think twice before sending mon-

ey by prepaid card or wire transfer. Transactions like these are nearly impossible to trace once sent.

The current scam seems aimed at doctors and den-tists, but others may also receive these types of calls. No complainants have been reported as falling victim to the scam. The phone calls originate from a vari-ety of phone numbers but the caller has used the name of Officer/Deputy Zachary Miller.

Anyone receiving a potential scam call may contact Hamilton County Communications at 317-773-1282 to be connected to the appropriate law en-forcement agency.

the right to start excursion train service to the north.

The departure may come without further dis-cord. However, the timing of the move is a question that may have to await a meeting of ITM officers and city officials next month. The lease is up on March 1, but McNichols says it is not possible to fulfill ITM’s commitments to clean up the site and move all train cars by the first of March.

The museum had already planned to move some of its

equipment to new locations, but further moving will have to await permission to use the Nickel Plate tracks from Forest Park to Tipton.

The Hoosier Heritage Port Authority, owner of the tracks, has suspended ITM’s use of the tracks, citing safe-ty concerns. This and other issues will be discussed at the meeting next month.

McNichols says his or-ganization is doing well at its new location in Logansport. A successful schedule of Po-lar Express excursion trains

between Kokomo and Lo-gansport was well received and financially successful over the recent holiday sea-son, he said.

The Port Authority meanwhile is preparing to approve a contract with the newly formed Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad, created by the county tourism bu-reau to operate excursion trains on the railroad from Noblesville to Atlanta.

Brenda Myers, tourism director, said this week the organization is in the pro-

cess of acquiring a locomo-tive, two passenger cars and a dining car for the coming summer season. Headquar-ters and train storage for the operation will be near Atlan-ta where improvements are being made for visitors in what is planned as a major tourism attraction.

The transportation mu-seum’s ‘gems’ will be leav-ing the Nickel Plate. They include the 100-year-old steam engine Number 587 and the so-called Flagler car, named for Henry Flagler, a wealthy industrialist who is credited for developing Florida tourism by building

a rail line to Miami. His lav-ish private rail car is in the museum collection.

Opposition to Nobles-ville’s eviction of the ITM from Forest Park remains. Among the most vocal is longtime former ITM Board member Craig Pressler who says the city and Fishers officials wanted to get rid of the museum and hope to see some type of econom-ic development along the Nickel Plate in southern Hamilton County.

The rail line south of Noblesville is to be convert-ed to a pedestrian and bike trail similar to the Monon

Trail, officials hope. Al-though no immediate plans have been announced, No-blesville’s media spokes-man, Robert Herrington, said this week the trail may have to take a back seat for a while to bigger, more ur-gent projects.

Pressler says another trail planned and approved by the Metropolitan Plan-ning Organization (MPO) will duplicate Nickel Plate trail plans bringing a sepa-rate trail from Indianapolis to Fishers and on to Con-ner Prairie and making the conversion of the Nickel Plate unnecessary.

Westfield closes out 2017 with record economic growth The REPORTER

The figures are in for Westfield’s 2017 econom-ic development activity, and some of the num-bers are record highs for the community.

“Westfield’s growth, particularly in the form of single family housing, demonstrates that more and more people are com-ing to our community to enjoy our great schools and overall quality of life,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “Westfield is a great place for all ages, but is an ideal location for young families ready to raise children in a welcoming, wonderful community.”

The Economic and Community Development Department reports seeing 113 filings in 2017, with a total value of permits at $286.5 million. Filings represent commercial and residential projects, includ-ing development plans, plats, zoning changes and more.

There were a total of 1,001 permits issued in the year, which is a record high for the community.

Westfield also saw a total of 719 single fam-ily home starts, also a record high.

2017 also saw West-field being named the new training camp of the Indi-anapolis Colts and a major

announcement by Bas-tion-Toyota, which will be building a 90,000-square-foot facility and bringing

Poonam Gill has de-clared her candidacy for Indiana House Represen-tative for the 88th District. The district seat has been held by the same represen-tative since 1986.

“We need more people who are invested in our communities, who care about working together, listening to one anoth-er and creating solutions to step up and lead,” Gill says. “This is how we cre-ate change. This is how we do better. It’s time we replace career poli-ticians. I will no longer

accept divisiveness at the expense of hardworking families and children who deserve better.”

Gill, who holds a de-gree in Electrical Engi-neering from Purdue Uni-versity, is the Outreach Chair for the Hamilton County Democratic Party and last year was one of 40 Democrats across the state to be selected to the Indi-ana Democratic Party’s Emerging Leaders Project. She is also a graduate of the Fishers City Govern-ment Academy.

Many of our readers in Cicero, Noblesville and Carmel will remem-ber Louise Dearmin, one of the kindest, most energetic and involved members of our com-munities during her nearly 60 years as a resident here.

Louise died two weeks ago at the age of 94. A me-morial service was held for her at the Carmel Lutheran Church. De-spite her age and the fact she had no immediate family, the large sanctuary was two-thirds filled with friends, nearly all of whom were much younger than she.

An orphan at age 12, Louise successfully made her own way in life, becoming a registered nurse during World War II. She married a D-Day war veteran, Bill Dearmin, in 1947. They had no children of their own, but were foster parents to several teen-age youngsters who they guided toward success.

Louise was a 'natural' at public

relations and served in that field for American Income Life Insurance Co. In later years she worked for Carmel phy-sicians Tim Hodges and Mark Richards, retiring at age 80. Over the years Louise volunteered with 4-H, Campfire Girls, the local Republican Party,

the Board of Zoning Appeals and especially the Lutheran Church among others. She authored in-spirational and often humorous pamphlets called "Words From Weezy" and hosted numerous re-ceptions for friends who accom-plished special deeds or projects in the community.

Journalist Tom Brokaw said folks who lived through the Great Depression, World War II and var-ious other 20th century trials and tribulations, but still persevered and contributed, were members of the Greatest Generation. He had to be talking about folks like Lou-ise Dearmin. We were honored to have her among us.

The Noblesville Lions Club will host its first annual dodgeball tournament at noon on Saturday, March 10 at the Ivy Tech College Gym, 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville.

Proceeds will be used to sup-port programs for the blind and for leader dogs.

Registration for the eight- member teams is currently under-way. (Six players participate at one time, with two players acting as substitutes.) Teams, which may be co-ed, are encouraged to form and register as soon as possible so that T-shirts may be ordered. Teams pay an entry fee of $80, or $10 per team member. The fees will cov-er the expenses of T-shirts with names or logos and medals for the winning and runner-up teams.

A total of 16 teams will be or-ganized into two leagues (Ameri-can and National); a double-elim-ination format will result in an American and a National cham-pion. League champions will then play a best two-out-of-three game series for the tournament champi-onship. Medals will be awarded to the tournament champion and runner-up. Dodgeball is played with six balls on a 30-feet by 60-feet court divided into two 30-feet

by 30-feet areas for each team. Waivers are required of all par-

ticipants and those under 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Each participant must wear approved gym shoes.

To enter your team, text or call David Marsh at 317-690-5856 or email davestravel1@prodigy.net.

“Four athletic events you don’t want to miss this win-ter,” Marsh said, “are the Super Bowl, Winter Olympics, Lions Club Dodgeball Tournament and March Madness.”

Sponsors are also being sought for the tournament to help raise funds for the programs ben-efitting from the event. Sponsor levels of $600, $400 and $200 are available. Text or call Lions Club member George Long at 317-213-7631 or email galongpi@hotmail.com for details and to sign up as a tournament sponsor.

All sponsorships include a logo or business name on the welcome banner, a listing in the program, verbal recognition at the start of each round of play, the corporate website, if any, on the Noblesville Lions Club website and promotion on the club’s Twit-ter and Facebook pages.

In addition, Platinum Spon-sors ($600) will have a logo or business name on the tourna-ment’s save-the-date, e-blast, pro-motional materials and other ad-vertising, a speaking opportunity at the start of the tournament, sig-nage at the Lions Club porkchop dinner, active website link on the club’s website for one year and 12 tournament tickets.

Gold Sponsors ($400) will have a logo or business name on the save-the-date, e-blast, pro-motional materials and other ad-vertising for the tournament, an active website link on the club’s website for six months and eight tournament tickets.

Silver Sponsors ($200) will receive a logo or business name on the e-blast and promotional materials for the tournament, an active website link on the club’s website for three months and four tournament tickets.

Admission to the tournament is $3 for adults, $2 for students and free for pre-first grade. Fam-ily tickets are $8. The tournament is expected to last about four hours “with lots of action, laughs, music and surprises,” according to Marsh. Attendees are free to leave and return to the tournament.

House committee votes 12-1 in favor of Sunday alcohol sales

By JOE MELILLOwishtv.com

At the Statehouse, both the House and Senate cur-rently have bills that deal with both cold beer sales and Sunday alcohol sales.

A House committee met at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to vote on a bill allowing Sunday sales of alcohol. The bill later passed in a 12-1 vote.

A similar bill passed a Senate committee last week.

Republican leaders in both chambers have ex-pressed support for allowing sales of alcohol at stores on Sunday between noon and 8 p.m., beginning July 1.

Another issue is wheth-er to allow grocery and convenience stores to sell cold beer. A Senate com-

mittee will debate that idea Wednesday afternoon, Sen-ate Bill 26. It would ex-pand the sale of cold beer beyond just liquor stores. Currently, grocery and con-venience stores can only sell warm beer.

Jay Ricker, the chairman of Ricker’s, Inc., released the following statement about Wednesday’s hearings:

"We would like the Leg-islature to amend SB26 to provide a level playing field for liquor stores and con-venience stores to sell cold beer. To that end, we fully expect to pay an increased fee for the privilege of sell-ing cold beer and for this fee to be designated by the Legislature to compensate ‘mom and pop’ liquor store owners who believe their li-censes will be devalued."

"We did what it takes to pull one out,"said Heights coach Chad Ballenger. "I feltlike we could've separated ourselves a littlebit more if we could've put a few moredefensive stops. But overall, to beat aprogram like that, you got to be happy."

Gus Etchison and Drayden Thomas bothscored 16 points for the Huskies. Thomashad a sensational second quarter, drainingthree 3-pointers and getting 13 of his pointsin that period. Thomas then made a fourth'3' in the third quarter.

Caleb Bean added 11 points; Ballengercredited him with making some big blocksdefensively. AJ Field added nine points andCamron Knott scored seven.

"Every time we hit a 3, we gave up a 3,so it was a game of runs," said Ballenger."But we were able to get the last one, andwe got a defensive stop when we needed to.It was a good team win. I thought we had alot of guys step up different times."

Thomas finished the game with fiverebounds. Etchison dished out five assistsand also made five steals.

The Huskies are 6-7 for the season andtravel to Sheridan on Saturday.

Ogden said, “It has been a pleasure to work alongside a head coach who is as professionalas Mitch. He’s a first-class individual who has worked extremely hard to continue thestrong culture of winning with our football program over the past seven years at HamiltonHeights. He has developed some great football players but beyond that he’s developedkids who have gone on to be leaders themselves, which speaks volumes about Mitch as apositive role model. With a younger family and a desire to be more involved in theirvarious activities, we totally understand Mitch’s desire to be a part of that. It only comesaround once.”

Heights will be looking to fill Street’s position and have a new head coach in placethis spring.
