By FRED SWIFTIs Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear serving his last

term as the city's chief executive orwill he run again? "Probably not, butthen part of me says why not?" Hefeels so much has been done and somany things are yet on the drawingboard. "I enjoy the work" and a finaldecision need not be made for a littleover 18 months, he points out.

There has been speculation sincehis most recent election in 2015 that

it would be his last run. Ditslear is in his 14th year at thehelm. The mayor is a Republican, but due to unusualpolitical circumstances he was first elected as an indepen-dent and has since run on the GOP ticket.

A tip-off on the next election might be the fact thatGov. Eric Holcomb is scheduled to come for a politicalfundraiser this summer for Chris Jensen, a city councilorwho is believed interested in running for mayor. It wouldbe politically inappropriate for a governor to come to townsupporting a potential candidate other than the incumbentmayor of the same political party if that mayor wasplanning re-election.

A lot of change has happened in Noblesville during

the Ditslear years. The population is now nearing 55,000.Among the most notable progress in those years has beenthe explosive growth to the southeast where the HamiltonTown Center and numerous new businesses and subdivi-sions have been developed.

And, closer in to the city's center, big changes areunderway west of White River where Federal HillCommons has just been completed, a new Riverviewexpansion is planned and the Blue Sky Technology Centeris nearing completion. Walking trails, some completedand some planned, are a popular amenity.

Is Mayor Ditslear serving his last term?

Before Ditslear's present term ends in 2019 the city administration hopes to see adramatic upgrade of State Road 37 underway along with a Pleasant Street bypass of thedowntown area.

It hasn't all been easy. Two years ago budgetary constraints resulted in the cityadministration asking residents to pay individually for trash pickup. It was controversial,but the mayor said very necessary if other city services were to be maintained. The citycouncil finally agreed after much debate.

Increases in taxes and fees are never popular. Just this week the city had to announcean increase in sewer rates because federal and state agencies are mandating theseparation of more storm and sanitary sewers to avoid river pollution.

Ditslear has lived in Noblesville since 1966. He is a native of Ohio and a graduateof Miami University at Oxford, OH. He served as a U.S. Naval officer. He went intothe insurance business upon coming to Noblesville, serving as an agent for AmericanUnited Life. He served on the school board and was a founding member of the Rootsof Life Church. Since being mayor he served a year as president of the IndianaAssociation of Cities and Towns.

"I think we've done a pretty good job," the mayor says. Does that mean he mightwant to stay on? Probably not, but he may keep 'em guessing to the end.

The grant requires community programs to tackle the following priorities: preventyouth tobacco use, decrease exposure to secondhand smoke, decrease adult tobacco-userates and build a broad-based coalition of community stakeholders. Smoke-free HamiltonCounty created short-, mid- and long-term goals and work plans to address each of thesepriorities, with special concentration on cessation, youth and policy.

“We chose to concentrate on these areas because we felt they would have the greatestimpact on tobacco use in our communities,” Wheeler said. “We’ve spent the past two yearsmaking connections and deepening our understanding of what will work best for HamiltonCounty and tailored our work plans and objectives accordingly.”

SFHC will focus its cessation efforts on working with health care providers andemployers to encourage smokers to quit using available community resources and1-800-QuitNow. Youth prevention will concentrate on education about the dangers of allforms of tobacco, especially new forms such as e-cigarettes, which are now morecommonly used than traditional cigarettes among Indiana high school students. Policy willfocus on comprehensive city or county ordinances and smoke-free multi-unit housing.

“While SFHC is honored that it received this funding, its effectiveness has only beenthe result of collaboration among several community organizations that have so willinglyworked with us on these initiatives,” Wheeler said. “The committee includes the Boys &Girls Club of Noblesville, St. Vincent Health, Riverview Health, Noblesville Parks andRecreation, Westfield Washington Township, HAND Inc., Hamilton County PurdueExtension, Hamilton County Council on Alcohol & Other Drugs, the American DiabetesAssociation, Walgreen’s and many others. We especially appreciate the support of PHHCand its broader community health coalition.”

The Partnership for a Healthy Hamilton County was created to respond to the county’sprimary health needs. Its leadership council is comprised of Community Health Network,IU Health, St. Vincent Health, Franciscan Health, Riverview Health, Aspire Indiana, theHamilton County Youth Assistance Program, the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis and GoodSamaritan Network, fiscal agent.
