Severe weather preparedness: Practicing thunderstorm safetyThe REPORTER

Hamilton County Emer-gency Management con-tinues this week’s series of severe weather prepared-ness by focusing on thun-derstorm safety. In Indiana, more homes are damaged annually by severe thun-derstorms rather than torna-does. In some cases, severe thunderstorms can produce straight-line winds resulting in significant destruction.

Know the difference be-tween a watch and a warn-ing. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms to develop, but there is not an imminent threat. A Severe Thunder-storm Warning means a se-vere thunderstorm has been detected and an imminent threat to life and property has developed.

severe Thunderstorm Watch – Issued when con-ditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms, people lo-cated in and around the watch area should keep an eye to the sky and listen to their NOAA weather radio all hazards or tune to local broadcast media for further weather information. The watch is intended to give you time to prepare, time to

review safety rules.severe Thunderstorm

Warning – Issued when a severe thunderstorm has been detected by National Weather Service Dop-pler radar or a re-liable report has been re-ceived. A w a r n i n g is usually issued for p o r t i o n s of one or two counties, for an hour or less. If the warn-ing includes your neigh-borhood or workplace, you should take immediate ac-tion to protect your life and the lives of others. Severe thunderstorms can produce large hail and damaging winds. Tornadoes can, and occasionally do, accompa-ny severe thunderstorms. Treat this warning the same as you would a tornado warning by taking the prop-er safety precautions.

• The best defense against thunderstorms is to stay inside a sturdy building or shelter that can protect you from deadly lightning, large hail, dam-aging winds, flooding rain and tornadoes. Fortunately, thunderstorms typically do

not last very long and will most often pass by your lo-cation in less than one hour.

• Once in a shelter, stay away from windows and

avoid electrical equip-ment and plumb-

ing. Remem-ber to bring pets inside. If there is time, se-cure loose o b j e c t s

outside as these objects

often become dangerous flying

debris in high winds.• Postpone outdoor

activities until the storms have passed.

• If caught outside, take shelter in a sturdy enclosed building or hard top auto-mobile immediately. Avoid open spaces, isolated ob-jects, high ground, and me-tallic objects.

• Get out of boats and away from bodies of wa-ter. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning.

If a tornado is spotted, act quickly and move to the lowest level basement of your shelter, putting as many walls between your-self and the outside as pos-

sible.It is important to have

a plan of action in place before threatening weather develops. Make sure you and your family know what to do when severe weather is approaching. Identify the best possible place to seek shelter. Basements are great for this, but if you are in a home without a basement, you should find a room that is as close to the cen-ter of your home with as many walls between you and the outside and on the lowest level. Bathrooms or closets are usually a good choice and make sure ev-eryone knows where to go. Sometimes, during a severe weather event, it can be very loud, and the loss of power will likely occur. It is best to sit down with younger chil-dren and explain to them, before the event, what could happen. Include your pets to ensure sure they are safe and protected.

Hamilton County Emergency Management encourages the public, busi-nesses and schools to pre-pare now for severe weath-er. Additional resources are available on Emergency Management’s website at hamiltoncounty.in.gov/em or at ready.gov.

The Fishers City Coun-cil unanimously approved an exemption from Uni-form Development Ordi-nances Wednesday night, clearing the way for a grav-el parking lot with access to a natural area park planned in Fall Creek Township. Township Trustee Doug Allman explained plans for the park for council mem-bers. The exemption will

allow access to the gravel parking area from South-eastern Parkway, with the details of exactly where that will be located yet to be worked out.

Councilwoman Cecilia Coble asked about Amer-icans with Disability Act (ADA) access and she was told in this situation, there is no legal requirement to provide such access, but the township will investi-gate what can be done un-der the circumstances.

The REPORTERNoblesville will begin

reconstruction of two nec-essary road projects in the coming weeks. The proj-ects come in conjunction with the timing of two ma-jor sequences: 1) Asphalt plants are now opening for the season; and 2) Spring break for Noblesville Schools.

The first project is the repair of 171st Street (be-tween Cherry Tree Road and Willowview Road). The Noblesville Street Depart-ment has been making tem-porary repairs to the road-way throughout the winter until this more permanent repair could be made.

Crews will mobilize to

171st Street on Wednes-day, March 28 to begin the complete reconstruction of the roadway. Weather per-mitting, the project is antic-ipated to be completed by Thursday, April 5. The road will be closed to through traffic for the duration of the project. Access to Wil-low Lake subdivision will come from Willowview Road and access to Cher-ry Tree Meadows subdivi-sion will come from Cher-ry Tree Road. Residents within the closure area will have access maintained from the east from Cherry Tree Road.

Road closure signs have been placed and letters to affected homeowners have

been mailed. The second project for

the city is the permanent culvert repair on Little Chicago Road. On Feb. 23, the city made an emer-gency repair to the road between State Road 38 and Buttonwood Drive. At the time, a temporary patch was constructed and it was determined the cul-vert needed replaced along with a permanent repair of the roadway.

Work on Little Chica-go Road will cause a com-plete closure for one day. Work is anticipated during the week of April 2. Road closure signs will be placed near the work site ahead of construction.

News & Letter to the Editor 5

Dear Editor:As Hamilton County citizens and

voters, we are potential employers to our next Hamilton County Sheriff. That makes the Hamilton County Sheriff’s candidates our applicants for the position we have available.

As an employer, what is the first thing you do when preparing to inter-view a potential employee? You research said employee’s experience and qualifi-cations in order to compare all prospec-tive candidates for the available position.

As a citizen who will vote for the next Sheriff in 2018, I decided to do just that and conducted some research based on the published facts from each candi-date’s websites.

I’ve compiled the data and entered that information into a spreadsheet to compare each “applicant” and determine

who will logically be the most capable person to do the job I am hiring him for, the day he enters that office.

I’m a spreadsheet person, I weigh facts, figures and data to come to an edu-cated decision.

Note that I am not taking into consid-eration any information regarding what the candidates have stated they will do. I take “campaign promises” with a grain of salt, as I’ve learned promises of what they will do, do not always come to frui-tion. At this point in the job search, I am not as interested in what they say they will do, as I am in what they have done.

Below are my findings. The results make it quite clear which candidate is most qualified and which candidate is least qualified.

One reader’s opinion on Sheriff criteria

The REPORTERIndiana American Wa-

ter announced Tuesday that it is partnering with the U.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency to promote Fix a Leak Week, which runs March 19-25. The national campaign, part of the EPA’s WaterSense program, raises awareness about small leaks and other water waste that might be occurring within homes. Across the U.S., EPA esti-mates that U.S. households waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water due to leaks and that the average household could cut 10 percent off their water bill by spending a couple of hours every few months checking for and repairing these leaks.

As a Fix a Leak Week partner, Indiana American Water is offering advice to

reduce the amount of wa-ter lost to household leaks. “Even the smallest leaks can waste thousands of gallons per year, resulting in a large impact on your water bill,” said Indiana American Wa-ter President Deborah Dew-ey. “For the customers we serve in Indiana, up to 2.7 billion gallons of water are being lost to leaks annually. Fortunately, most common leaks can be easily corrected by maintaining and repair-ing fixtures and appliances on a regular basis.”

On an institutional lev-el, Indiana American Water is committed to fixing leaks by replacing or upgrading water infrastructure in or-der to provide clean, safe, reliable water to customers, and has invested more than $179 million in infrastruc-ture improvements over the past two years.

Indiana American Wa-ter has produced a helpful infographic and a down-loadable leak detection kit to assist customers in lo-cating and fixing common, and some not-so-com-mon, indoor and outdoor water leaks.

Indiana American Wa-ter conducts ongoing cus-tomer education about wise water use to help preserve water supplies and recom-mends using the follow-ing tips to address costly household leaks:

• While not using any water, check your water meter before and after a two-hour period. If the me-ter registers any changes during this time, you most likely have a leak.

• Regularly check your toilet, faucets, and pipes for leaks. If you find a leak, have it fixed as soon as pos-

sible.• Reduce faucet leaks

by checking faucet washers and gaskets for wear and replace them, or, if nec-essary, replace the faucet with a WaterSense-labeled model.

• Leaky toilets are most often the result of a worn toilet flapper. Replacing the rubber flapper is a quick fix that could save a home up to 200 gallons of water per day.

• For a leaky garden hose, replace the nylon or rubber hose washer and ensure a tight connection to the spigot using pipe tape and a wrench.

• Check your garden and lawn irrigation system for leaks, or hire a certified WaterSense expert to check it for you.

TODAY’S BIBLE READINGAnd the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

NoBLesVILLe sChooLsYou are hereby notified that a public hearing will be held before the Board of

School Trustees (the “Board”) of Noblesville Schools (the “School Corporation”) on April 26, 2018 at the hour of 5:00 p.m. (Local Time) at the Educational Services Center, 18025 River Road, Noblesville, Indiana, upon a proposed Sixth Amendment to Lease (the “Sixth Amendment”) to be entered into between Noblesville High School Building Corporation (the “Building Corporation”), as lessor, and the School Corporation, as lessee.

The proposed Sixth Amendment upon which the hearing will be held amends the existing Lease Agreement originally dated March 30, 1993, as amended (as amended, the “Original Lease”, and together with the Sixth Amendment, the “Lease”). The Sixth Amendment extends the term of the Original Lease and increases the rent payable thereunder in exchange for the renovation of and improvements to the property subject to the Lease (the “Leased Premises”). The Sixth Amendment extends the term of the Original Lease to June 30, 2039 and increases the annual Lease rental by a maximum of $2,150,000, payable on June 30 and December 31 beginning with the completion of the renovation of and improvements to the Leased Premises or December 31, 2019.

As additional rental, the School Corporation shall maintain insurance on the Leased Premises as required in the Lease, shall pay all taxes and assessments against such Leased Premises, as well as the cost of alterations and repairs, and shall pay rebate amounts to the United States Treasury, if necessary. After the sale by the Building Corporation of its bonds (the “Bonds”) to pay for the cost of the renovation and improvements, including any other expenses incidental thereto, the increased annual Lease rental stated above shall be reduced to an amount equal to the multiple of $1,000 next higher than the sum of principal and interest due on the Bonds in each twelve-month period ending on January 15 plus $5,000, payable in equal semiannual installments.

The Lease gives an option to the School Corporation to purchase the Leased Premises on any Lease rental payment date.

The Leased Premises is Noblesville High School located at 18111 Cumberland Road, Noblesville, Indiana in the School Corporation.

The plans and specifications, including the estimates for the cost of the renovation and improvement, as well as a copy of the proposed Sixth Amendment, are available for inspection by the public on all business days, during business hours, at the Educational Services Center, 18025 River Avenue, Noblesville, Indiana.

At such hearing all persons interested shall have a right to be heard upon the necessity for the execution of the Sixth Amendment, and upon whether the increased Lease rental provided for therein to be paid to the Building Corporation is a fair and reasonable rental for the renovations to the Leased Premises. Such hearing may be adjourned to a later date or dates, and following such hearing the Board may either authorize the execution of the Sixth Amendment as originally agreed upon or may make modifications therein as may be agreed upon with the Building Corporation.

Notice of adoption of Preliminary determinationNotice is hereby given pursuant to Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.1 that the Board of

School Trustees (the “Board”) of Noblesville Schools (the “School Corporation”) did, on March 20, 2018, make a preliminary determination to issue bonds and enter into a lease (the “Lease”) for the renovation of and improvements to Hazel Dell, Hinkle Creek, Noble Crossing, North, Promise Road, Stony Creek and White River Elementary Schools; Noblesville East and Noblesville West Middle Schools; and Noblesville High School (the “Projects”). The Lease will have a term of twenty-two (22) years with a maximum annual Lease rental of $2,150,000. The maximum annual Lease rental has been estimated based upon an estimated principal amount of bonds of $15,000,000, estimated interest rates ranging from 2.00% to 5.00%, and total estimated interest costs of $8,383,500.

As required by Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.1(b)(1), the following information was available to the public at the public hearings on the preliminary determination: (i) the School Corporation’s current and projected annual debt service payments divided by the net assessed value of taxable property within the School Corporation, which is 0.6677%; and (ii) the sum of the School Corporation’s outstanding long term debt plus the outstanding long term debt of other taxing units that include any other territory of the School Corporation divided by the net assessed value of taxable property within the School Corporation, which is 6.63%.

The School Corporation’s current debt service levy is $20,790,894 and the current rate is $0.6677. After the School Corporation enters into the proposed Lease and the bonds are issued, the debt service levy will increase by a maximum of $2,150,000 and the debt service rate will increase by a maximum of $0.0728. However, as existing obligations mature, the anticipated net increase to the debt service fund tax rate will be $0.00.

The estimated amount of the School Corporation’s debt service levy and rate that will result during the following 10 years if the School Corporation enters into the lease and issues the bonds, after considering any changes that will occur to the debt service levy and rate during that period on account of any outstanding bonds or lease obligations that will mature or terminate during that period:

Any

owners of real property within the School Corporation or registered voters residing within the School Corporation who want to initiate a petition and remonstrance process against the proposed Lease payments or the issuance of the bonds must file a petition that complies with IC 6-1.1-20-3.1 subdivisions (4) and (5) not later than 30 days after the first publication of this notice.

Buying tires for your car? What to considerStatePoint

Purchasing new tires for your car can be frustrating: an average of two hours is spent researching tires and 89 percent of all consum-ers experience some sort of buyer’s remorse, accord-ing to a consumer study by Cooper Tires.

To help, the experts at Cooper Tires are offering easy ways to identify when you need new tires, as well as tips on what to consider in the tire buying process.

The Penny TestTire tread should be

more than 2/32 of an inch deep. Check by inserting a U.S. penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If the top of Lin-coln’s head is covered by tread, there’s at least a min-imum acceptable amount of tread. If the top of his head is visible at any point, it’s time to replace your tires.

Even before tread is worn, regularly inspect tires for cuts, cracks, splits, punctures, bulges and un-even wear patterns. Also, replace all tires, (including full-size spares) that are 10 or more years older than their date of manufacture, or follow the vehicle man-ufacturer’s recommenda-tions.

Know the Right SizeLike with shoes, buy-

ing the proper tire size is critical. Consult the infor-mation placard found on the driver’s side doorjamb, glove box, fuel door or ve-hicle manufacturer’s man-ual, which also contains technical specifications relating to your tire, includ-ing load carrying capacity, speed rating and recom-mended inflation pressures. For maximum safety and performance, follow these recommendations careful-ly.

If you don’t have this information handy, con-sult a tire professional to have all your questions answered, and check out the three-step tire guide from Cooper Tires, which can help you narrow down the choices by car/mini-van, SUV/CUV or truck. You can find this guide at us.coopertire.com.

Other ConsiderationsThere are many factors

to consider when selecting tires to fit your needs, in-cluding the following:

• Do you need dedicat-ed winter tires, dedicated summer tires or all-season tires? Think about where you travel over the course of the year.

• Do you have a long

commute or take long road trips? Consider expected mileage, ride comfort, fuel efficiency and if the tires are quiet.

• Do you have a sports car or do a lot of spirited driving? You may need tires that focus on han-dling and are developed for high-performance cars.

• Do you drive in rain? Consider the tires’ wet braking distance.

• Do you drive off-road? If you spend a sig-nificant amount of time on mud tackling adventures, dedicated off-road tires may be your best bet.

At the StoreBe sure to ask what

services are included in the quoted price. And re-member, if your selected tires are not immediately

available, you can often have them ordered. It may be helpful to call ahead if you know what you need. To find a retailer near you, visit us.coopertire.com/find-a-store.

Final ThoughtsNot all tire damage

that can lead to tire failure is outwardly visible. Used tires, should be considered dangerous. Buy and install only new tires. Whenever possible, replace all tires at the same time. However, if you can only purchase two, the new pair should always be installed on the rear axle.

Your tires are the only parts of your car that con-nect to the road. Select tires carefully, then properly maintain and inspect them over time.

Is there another state basketballchampionship this week for Carmel's storied

history of athletica c h i e v e m e n t s ?Maybe, we willsee  Saturday nightwhen the CHS teamtakes on undefeatedand top rankedWarren Central, aschool that's neverbeen to the state finals.

I don't writesports, I'm just a fanwho's followed the

fortunes of Carmel basketball for half acentury. There have been big changes forthe sport in general and Carmel in particular.It use to be that CHS was always the

underdog and many  folks liked theGreyhounds in a tourney situation. Now, lotsof folks outside the community will root forABC, anyone but Carmel. That's to beexpected when they win so often.

High school basketball in Indiana is notwhat it once was. Class basketball, so manyother high school sports and technology thatoffers so much in home entertainment, haveall combined to reduce interest andattendance in what made Indiana famous forits basketball.

Time was when tourney season arrivedstore windows were decorated, community-wide pep rallies were held, and conversationat the lunch counter or the street cornerinevitably turned to basketball.Nevertheless, it's still a big deal, anespecially big deal for participating teamsand their schools. On Saturday, Carmel willmake its seventh appearance in thebasketball championship round dating backto 1925 when the finals had 16 teams. Backthen, Carmel was a tiny school playing withthe giants.

Now Carmel is a giant playing with theother giants. The school has won 139championships covering nearly every sport.That's more than twice the number of anyother school. As the largest school in thestate, perhaps it is logical that they shouldwin so much.

In basketball, Carmel didn't even win asectional for 41 years after 1925, Thoseyears belonged to Sheridan and laterNoblesville. But, beginning in 1966 as theCarmel grew larger their teams became analmost perennial threat in the highlycompetitive arena of Indiana high schoolroundball. The Greyhounds went  to thefinals in 1970, 1977, 1993, 2012 and 2013and won three times.

It's been fun to watch. Can they do itagain this year? Maybe, maybe not, but winor lose, next year looks good for CHS withthe number of returning team members theyhave and the momentum they have built thisyear.

Watching CHS basketball evolveover a half-century

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorAn experienced group of Millers will be

taking to the field Monday for theNoblesville baseball team.

That experience will be necessary, asMillers coach Justin Keever notes that histeam will be ready "to tackle the toughestschedule in Indiana."

The Opening Day lineup will be familiarto fans of the Millers, who are ranked No. 9in the Class 4A pre-season coaches poll.Seven starters return for Noblesville,including three pitchers: Senior TylerOwens and juniors Clay Holzworth andReese Sharp.

"The Millers return a pitching staff thatpitched 83 percent of the innings in 2017,"said Keever.

Owens was named to the All-HoosierCrossroads Conference team last year as apitcher. He finished his junior season 6-4with 32 strikeouts and a 2.56 earned-runaverage. Sharp led Noblesville in strikeoutslast season with 46, while Holzworth had asolid 2.94 ERA.

In addition, Keever has a trio of pitchers,senior right-hander Ryan Plummer, juniorleft-hander ZZach Gruver and sophomoreright-hander Connor Vanosdol who will"look to come in and provide depth to theexperienced staff."

On the offensive side, the Millers havesome solid young hitters returning. JuniorDJ Owens brings back the most Noblesvillehits with 24, while Sharp had 18 runs battedin and three home runs last season.

Keever said that his expected positionstarters include sophomore newcomer EthanImel as the catcher, with senior JacobThieman at first base. DJ Owens and TylerOwens will split time at second, with seniorJackson Ramey at third. Sophomore CooperMiles, who played the majority of varsitygames last year as a freshman, is slated forshortstop. Goudy and Sharp will bedesignated hitters.

The outfield will see some rotation.Sharp and junior Zac Tuinei will split at leftfield, with Tyler Owens trading center field

duties with fellow seniors Mark Goudy andBryce Randolph. Tuinei and Randolph areslated for right field action. Keever said thatthe seniors Thieman, Randolph and Rameyserved as reliable back-ups in 2017.

Noblesville will have a tough scheduleright out of the gate. The Millers will hostCathedral on Monday; the Irish are tied forNo. 1 in the 4A pre-season poll. Who is theother No. 1? Fishers, the team that

Noblesville will play in its first HCC seriesof the season, April 5-7.

In between, the Millers take their annualtrip to Tennessee, where they will play someof the best teams the Volunteer State has tooffer. That includes a March 30 date withFarragut, one of the traditional powerhousesin Tennessee. Noblesville returns homeApril 3 with a home game against Frankfortbefore its series with the Tigers.

Other games of note include HCC serieswith No. 4 Zionsville (April 17-19), No. 5Hamilton Southeastern (May 3-5), a gamewith Class 2A No. 1 Wapahani (May 1), andits game with Carmel, which will be played

at Victory Field on April 27 as part of theVictory Field Classic.

Noblesville rosterSeniors: Kade Gorman, Mark Goudy,AJ Gray, Tyler Owens, Ryan Plummer,Jackson Ramey, Bryce Randolph,Jacob Thieman.Juniors: Zach Gruver, Clay Holzworth,Cade Nelis, DJ Owens, Matt Peek,Reese Sharp, Zac Tuinei, Brady Walden.Sophomores: Ethan Imel, CooperMiles, Camden Nagel, ConnorVanosdol, Alex Zavac.

Experienced Millers will take on tough schedule
