County schools asking for voter approvalBy FRED SWIFT
Voters in three of Hamilton Countys six school districts will have an opportu-nity this year to decide whether or not to continue supplementing their local school funding with property tax revenue School boards at Westfield Sheridan and Carmel have asked that referendums be placed on a May 2 special election ballot
The method of raising school revenue through referendum is allowed by state law as a way of giving local school districts more money than is provided by the annual
distribution of state school assistanceMost county schools have already
taken advantage of the referendum meth-od which by law also limits such a spe-cial levy to seven years in duration If the school district wants to continue the levy a public referendum must be held and that is what is being prepared for this springs bal-lot The amount of funds to be raised is also subject to increase or decrease at this time
Westfield Washington Schools is also asking voters to approve a capital fund referendum of about 30 cents per $100 of
assessed valuation for renovation and im-provements at all their schools The esti-mated cost is not to exceed $90 million
Sheridan Community Schools is ask-ing to increase its previously adopted ref-erendum tax rate of 19 cents per $100 to a not to exceed rate of 25 cents per hun-dred This rate would be effective in 2018
Carmel Clay Schools is expected to be seeking a 19 cent rate which is slightly higher than the referendum approved seven years ago But due to slight decreases in other portions of the school rate taxpay-
ers will not see any overall increase in their school taxes
In all three referendums voters will simply register a yes or no when casting a ballot There will be no candidates or other questions on the ballot Usually there is no election in the year following a presidential election
In this case the schools asked for the special vote and will be paying for the cost of the election
Turnout is expected to be light unless a referendum becomes controversial

Obituaries 3Norma Ellen (Rowe) Hart
November 25 1942 ndash February 9 2017
It is with sadness that we announce that Norma Ellen (Rowe) Hart left this life and moved into eternity on February 9 2017
She was born on November 25 1942 to William and Mary (Kel-ly) Rowe in Angola Indiana She was the oldest of four girls with her sisters being Marcia Linda and Tracey
As her family mourns her death we want to remember most what brought her joy When she reminisced on such things she would speak of her childhood years living at Lake Pleasant Ind her early teen years living in Tyler Texas and her high school and college days at Marysville High School in Ohio (1961) and Bowling Green State Uni-versity (1965) respectively
She also enjoyed anything related to crafts and baking musicals watching the India-napolis Colts football team and the Butler Bulldogs menrsquos basketball team And of course she relished her time with family
Moreover if she was defined by any one key characteristic itrsquos that she was a teach-er to the core From the time that the desire to be a teacher took hold of her at the age of twelve she taught as a mother as a school teacher in private and public schools for over twenty years as a cake decorating instructor and as a top sales person in a variety of retail industries of which she finally retired in 2010 If there was one subject she loved to teach most of all it was poetry Her sixth-grade students will never forget the passion at which she approached their annual project of writing a large notebook of poems on the five senses Also her children and grandchildren will carry with them the love of James Whitcomb Ri-ley and hearing his poems read aloud with enthusiasm (especially The Bear Story) Norma will be missed by her family that she loved very much but we will all carry pieces of her for the rest of our lives
She leaves behind three children Heather Barnette (Bob) David Martin (Rebec-ca) Lindsay Wink (Phillip) Norma was also blessed with eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild She was preceded in death by her father and mother and her sister Marcia
She requested to be cremated and a memorial service will be held at 1 pm on Satur-day April 1 2017 at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens 9700 Allisonville Road in Indianapolis with Pastor David Martin officiating
If you would like to do a kindness in memory of Norma the family request a dona-tion be made to the American Cancer Society 5635 W 96th Street Suite 100 Indianapolis IN 46278 or the National Brain Tumor Society 55 Chapel Street Suite 200 Newton MA 02458

The Shamrocks used a balanced efforton both offense and defense to get a hard-fought win at Hamilton Heights by the scoreof 66-61 Westfield had three players indouble figures and held off a furious chargeby the Huskies in the games final twominutes to secure the victory
Great game said Sumpter I dontthink anybody wanted their money backtonight
Westfield made the games first runjumping out to an early 7-2 lead AaronBennett scored five points of that run on a
putback and then a 3-pointer which wouldbe a familiar sight for Shamrock fans duringthe contest
Sterling Weatherford single-handedlybrought Heights back as he scored fivepoints to tie the game at 7-7 The remainderof the quarter saw a nice back-and-forthbetween the teams and ended with theRocks up 13-12 Max Beale helped theHuskies out with a late 3-pointer while IanKristensen got going for Westfield scoringfour points
Bennett was still going in the secondperiod draining two more 3s A three-pointplay from Jonah Welch put the Shamrocksahead 22-18 but Heights quickly tied thegame again with baskets from Weatherfordand Drayden Thomas Westfield led 27-24
late in the second half but Caymn Lutzmade a 3 at the buzzer sending both teamsinto their locker rooms tied at 27-27
The Rocks began to pull away in the
third quarter with Kristensen scoring eightpoints The key moment was the beginningof the period when Westfield outscored theHuskies 9-3 Bennett opened the quarterwith his fourth 3-pointer of the game andWelch helped out with another three-pointplay
I thought we had a stretch there wherewe got some good stops on the defensiveend and I thought we got some good basketsand some easy buckets on our end saidSumpter
Heights coach Chad Ballenger admittedthat the third quarter was when things brokeapart a little bit for his team

Obituaries 3Norma Ellen (Rowe) Hart
November 25 1942 ndash February 9 2017
It is with sadness that we announce that Norma Ellen (Rowe) Hart left this life and moved into eternity on February 9 2017
She was born on November 25 1942 to William and Mary (Kel-ly) Rowe in Angola Indiana She was the oldest of four girls with her sisters being Marcia Linda and Tracey
As her family mourns her death we want to remember most what brought her joy When she reminisced on such things she would speak of her childhood years living at Lake Pleasant Ind her early teen years living in Tyler Texas and her high school and college days at Marysville High School in Ohio (1961) and Bowling Green State Uni-versity (1965) respectively
She also enjoyed anything related to crafts and baking musicals watching the India-napolis Colts football team and the Butler Bulldogs menrsquos basketball team And of course she relished her time with family
Moreover if she was defined by any one key characteristic itrsquos that she was a teach-er to the core From the time that the desire to be a teacher took hold of her at the age of twelve she taught as a mother as a school teacher in private and public schools for over twenty years as a cake decorating instructor and as a top sales person in a variety of retail industries of which she finally retired in 2010 If there was one subject she loved to teach most of all it was poetry Her sixth-grade students will never forget the passion at which she approached their annual project of writing a large notebook of poems on the five senses Also her children and grandchildren will carry with them the love of James Whitcomb Ri-ley and hearing his poems read aloud with enthusiasm (especially The Bear Story) Norma will be missed by her family that she loved very much but we will all carry pieces of her for the rest of our lives
She leaves behind three children Heather Barnette (Bob) David Martin (Rebec-ca) Lindsay Wink (Phillip) Norma was also blessed with eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild She was preceded in death by her father and mother and her sister Marcia
She requested to be cremated and a memorial service will be held at 1 pm on Satur-day April 1 2017 at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens 9700 Allisonville Road in Indianapolis with Pastor David Martin officiating
If you would like to do a kindness in memory of Norma the family request a dona-tion be made to the American Cancer Society 5635 W 96th Street Suite 100 Indianapolis IN 46278 or the National Brain Tumor Society 55 Chapel Street Suite 200 Newton MA 02458

late in the second half but Caymn Lutzmade a 3 at the buzzer sending both teamsinto their locker rooms tied at 27-27

third quarter with Kristensen scoring eightpoints The key moment was the beginningof the period when Westfield outscored theHuskies 9-3 Bennett opened the quarterwith his fourth 3-pointer of the game andWelch helped out with another three-pointplay
I thought we had a stretch there wherewe got some good stops on the defensiveend and I thought we got some good basketsand some easy buckets on our end saidSumpter

Obituaries 3Norma Ellen (Rowe) Hart
November 25 1942 ndash February 9 2017
It is with sadness that we announce that Norma Ellen (Rowe) Hart left this life and moved into eternity on February 9 2017
She was born on November 25 1942 to William and Mary (Kel-ly) Rowe in Angola Indiana She was the oldest of four girls with her sisters being Marcia Linda and Tracey
As her family mourns her death we want to remember most what brought her joy When she reminisced on such things she would speak of her childhood years living at Lake Pleasant Ind her early teen years living in Tyler Texas and her high school and college days at Marysville High School in Ohio (1961) and Bowling Green State Uni-versity (1965) respectively
She also enjoyed anything related to crafts and baking musicals watching the India-napolis Colts football team and the Butler Bulldogs menrsquos basketball team And of course she relished her time with family
Moreover if she was defined by any one key characteristic itrsquos that she was a teach-er to the core From the time that the desire to be a teacher took hold of her at the age of twelve she taught as a mother as a school teacher in private and public schools for over twenty years as a cake decorating instructor and as a top sales person in a variety of retail industries of which she finally retired in 2010 If there was one subject she loved to teach most of all it was poetry Her sixth-grade students will never forget the passion at which she approached their annual project of writing a large notebook of poems on the five senses Also her children and grandchildren will carry with them the love of James Whitcomb Ri-ley and hearing his poems read aloud with enthusiasm (especially The Bear Story) Norma will be missed by her family that she loved very much but we will all carry pieces of her for the rest of our lives
She leaves behind three children Heather Barnette (Bob) David Martin (Rebec-ca) Lindsay Wink (Phillip) Norma was also blessed with eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild She was preceded in death by her father and mother and her sister Marcia
She requested to be cremated and a memorial service will be held at 1 pm on Satur-day April 1 2017 at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens 9700 Allisonville Road in Indianapolis with Pastor David Martin officiating
If you would like to do a kindness in memory of Norma the family request a dona-tion be made to the American Cancer Society 5635 W 96th Street Suite 100 Indianapolis IN 46278 or the National Brain Tumor Society 55 Chapel Street Suite 200 Newton MA 02458

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorWestfield coach Shane Sumpter said the

The Shamrocks used a balanced efforton both offense and defense to get a hard-fought win at Hamilton Heights by the scoreof 66-61 Westfield had three players indouble figures and held off a furious chargeby the Huskies in the games final twominutes to secure the victory
Great game said Sumpter I dontthink anybody wanted their money backtonight
Westfield made the games first runjumping out to an early 7-2 lead AaronBennett scored five points of that run on a
putback and then a 3-pointer which wouldbe a familiar sight for Shamrock fans duringthe contest
Sterling Weatherford single-handedlybrought Heights back as he scored fivepoints to tie the game at 7-7 The remainderof the quarter saw a nice back-and-forthbetween the teams and ended with theRocks up 13-12 Max Beale helped theHuskies out with a late 3-pointer while IanKristensen got going for Westfield scoringfour points
Bennett was still going in the secondperiod draining two more 3s A three-pointplay from Jonah Welch put the Shamrocksahead 22-18 but Heights quickly tied thegame again with baskets from Weatherfordand Drayden Thomas Westfield led 27-24
