Atlanta overflows with festive fun

Reporter photosAtlanta Clerk-Treasurer Robyn Cook previously told The Reporter, “Rain or shine, there will be crowds.” Apparently, even near-record high temperatures could not stop tens of thousands of people from flocking to Atlanta Saturday. If you have not stopped by yet, today is your last chance this year to be a part of the longest-running and largest festival in Hamilton County! The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today. See more photos on Pages 4 and 5 in today’s edition. Check out our Facebook page and ReadTheReporter.com for video of the Festival.

If you do not believe housing is at a crisis level in southern Ham-ilton County, consider the following facts:

• In order to afford a market rate apartment in Fishers, you will need to make $20 to $30 an

hour (that translates to $41,600 to $62,400 in income per year).

• The unemployment rate in Hamilton County is 2.8 percent.

• The retail and hospitality industries account for nearly 14 percent of the private sector work force in this area.

• Over 1,000 new jobs are com-ing to the area of Fishers around 116th Street and Interstate 69.

• Fishers job growth is project-ed to be 11.6 percent by 2021.

• There are no mass transit sys-

tems operating between Hamilton County and Indianapolis.

Put all these facts together and you find that a large number of the people needed to fill jobs coming to Fishers cannot afford to live in Fishers.

That was a major theme of the Hamilton County Area Neigh-borhood Development (HAND) organization during its annual conference, held Friday at Conner

Housing and Hamilton County

A brief look at county news Somebody lived thereJohn D. Proffitt,

longtime Hamilton County attorney, was awarded the prestigious title of Legendary Law-yer by the Indiana State Bar Foundation at the organization's banquet Thursday. Proffitt also received a Sagamore of the Wabash for his nearly 60 years of service in the legal pro-fession. Formerly a partner in the Noblesville law firm of Campbell, Kyle and Proffitt, he is now associ-ated with the firm of Altman, Poin-dexter and Wyatt. Proffitt and his wife, former Circuit Court Judge Judy Proffitt, reside in Carmel.

* * *The four announced can-

didates for county sheriff in next May's Republican primary election vowed Thurs-day to make new and effective efforts to fight Hamilton Coun-ty's dangerous opioid drug crisis if elected. Bill Clifford, Eddie Moore, Mitch Rus-

sell and Jason Sloderbeck each spoke briefly to a crowd of more than 200 at the Carmel Clay GOP Club's annual Pork Roast. Also attending were Congresswoman Susan Brooks and newly elected State Sen. Victoria Spartz.

* * *Enrollment in Hamilton Coun-

ty's public schools has reached

60,000 this school year, up from 58,600 last year. Hamilton South-eastern is the largest with well over 20,000 students. Sheridan is the smallest with around 1,100. (Figures do not include private schools Guerin Catholic or Uni-versity High School.) In 1970, when the county's total population was 55,000, school enrollment was about 14,000. Many school officials say enrollment will soon "level off," but obviously not yet.

* * *County Commissioners have

changed their next two meeting dates. There will be no meeting Sept. 25. Commissioners will meet Oct. 2. An Oct. 9 meeting has been called off. They will con-vene again on Oct. 23.

It was 1975 when I bought my house. I bought it from the Hamptons but I always called it the Bentz house because they lived in it when I was a little girl. I loved going there be-cause Mrs. Bentz al-ways made homemade cookies when she baby-sat for our preacher's kids and I got to visit with them. Who knew I would someday call it my home.

Funny how growing up in a small town, houses were often given the name of the people who lived there. I still refer to them that way.

On Thursday night several of us "old-timers" (those who grew up in Noblesville during the 50s to 70s), were talking about cer-tain houses. Kathy Richardson Williams lives in the O'Callaghan house beside the Lyons house. Mrs. Lyon gave piano lessons.

Brian and Toni Ayer live in the old Repp home that was next to Mrs. Hovey's home. She also gave piano lessons.

You can walk down many of the Noblesville Streets and it be-comes memory lane if you grew up in Noblesville. Zinns. Camp-bells. Kenleys. Shonks. Taylors. Henrys. I grew up with many of the kids and now I'm even grow-ing old with them.

Back in the day, most doctors

worked from homes located in neighbor-hoods. Kraft. Dillon. Harris. Haywood.

My mother has lived in her house since 1952. The house next door was the Kitterman house and now it is the Novak house. Next to it was the home of the Grif-

fins, Herb and Martha. I grew up across the alley from them and their daughters, Marcia and Debbie. It has had several owners since but to me it will always the old Griffin house.

The Wire family home with 12 kids is around the corner from my mom. A Wire has not lived there since probably the 80s. It's still the Wire house to me. Across from it was the home of the Phillips. There was even a neighborhood store attached to it. Chad and Rosie were good people.

As Kathy and I reminisced on Thursday night, Bret Richardson chimed in on the conversation as he also now has acquired an old Noblesville home. His fam-ily goes way back, having lived in the home which now looks so forlorn on 10th and Clinton. He is sad. I feel his sadness. On that property the first courthouse of Hamilton County was built.

Prairie. Low income hous-ing is not always for those in poverty without work . . . low income housing is needed for those with steady work, but have incomes too low to live in market rate housing available in places like Fishers and a large part of Hamilton County.

RealAmerica LLC is a Fishers-based firm aimed at developing and con-structing apartment hous-ing through the use of Low-Income Housing Tax

Credits. Ronda Shrewsbury Weybright, President and Owner of RealAmerica, told the crowd on hand for the conference about the many successful low-in-come housing projects her company has constructed in places like Daleville, subur-ban Fort Wayne and Nash-ville, Ind.

Building low-income housing in suburban areas was the center of the dis-cussion for much of the event. There was talk about

how to convince neighbors that facts show low-income housing does not normally reduce property values in the area and does not draw crime to the vicinity of the complex.

Other speakers at the HAND conference includ-ed Peter Nelson from the Indiana Housing and Com-munity Development Au-thority, and Lisa Sturtevant with the Urban Land Insti-tute’s Terwilliger Center for Housing.

Bret led us on a mental tour of Old Noblesville, down Conner and Logan. It was a fun tour. It was like, "show me the house and I'll name the family who lived there." Everyone seemed to know everyone back then. Thanks Bret!

Back in the day peo-ple seldom moved. Often a second generation would acquire the deed to the

family home. You seldom see that today. I think it is a shame.

I have lived in my house 42 years come this December. Now that is un-heard of. I just never had a desire to leave my little house on the alley. I won-der if someday my house will be simply referred to as Janet's house. You know that nice little old lady who

lived there forever. "Oh remember how she fell in love and married that nice Chuck Leonard."

A few weeks ago I took my mom for a ride on a Sunday afternoon. She would often point out a certain house and who lived there. If she could not remember their name she simply said, "somebody lived there."

Well there sure were a lot of good somebodys who lived in Noblesville. I can name them . . . and the house they called home.

That was a fun time on memory lane Thursday night. I'll have to visit there again sometime.

StatePointYour outdoor fun

doesn’t have to stop after sundown.

Whether you’re host-ing a backyard barbecue, enjoying an evening hike, or simply hanging out with friends and family, these lighting tips from the ex-perts at Energizer can keep fun going long after dark.

• Barbecuing? Ensure the grill master has suffi-cient lighting to do the job safely. Strategically placed lanterns on patio tables and near the grill will ensure the meat is cooked to per-fection and guests enjoy a well-lit al fresco dining ex-perience. Consider lanterns which provide 360-degree uniform lighting, such as those from Energizer,

which have dimming capa-bilities, offering you more control of your outdoor lighting scheme.

• You may be closely fa-miliar with every rock and stick in your backyard, but guests probably aren’t. Be-fore your next party or bar-becue, illuminate pathways where guests will be mov-ing about. Battery-powered or hardwired options will give guests sure footing throughout your yard.

• Incorporate flash-lights into the fun itself. On your next camping trip, stake out a space for a game of flashlight tag. Bring enough lights so ev-eryone can join in on the fun. Afterward, head back to the campfire and let your flashlight make your scary

story that much spookier.• Use the right lighting

tools for evening hikes and neighborhood dog walks. A lightweight headlight with pivoting function-ality can help you direct light where it’s needed and keep your hands free to clear bramble, get a tighter hold of that leash, or snap a photo of the evening sky. Consider headlights from Energizer, which are water resistant and drop-tested to stand up to tough condi-tions.

For more lighting solu-tions that will brighten your nights, visit energiz-er.com/lighting.

With the right lighting tools, your outdoor adven-tures can last long after the sun has set.

Keep outdoor fun going after dark

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorAs much as the Fishers girls golf team

has accomplished in a short period of time,there's always some more history to be made.

The Tigers recorded another first Satur-day at Edgewood Country Club, winning theLapel regional. It's the first time Fishers haswon a girls golf regional, and it also willsend the Tigers back to the state meet for thethird time.

Fishers carded a team score of 305, onestroke ahead of the other two state qualifiers.Hamilton Southeastern and Columbus Northtied for second, both shooting 306s.

"It's a fantastic feeling," said Tigerscoach Danny Smith. "These girls, they'veset goals, and one of the goals for thisregional was to win. They accomplishedthat."

The highlight of Fishers' victory was asensational round by Morgan Lewis. Thesenior ran away with medalist honors byshooting a five-under par 66. Lewis madefive birdies during her round, and capped itoff with an eagle putt on the 18th hole toshoot her personal-best score.

"I played really well," said Lewis, whohad never broken the 70s before Saturday.Lewis admitted she wasn't confident goinginto the regional, but after a lesson with hercoach, she said "everything just seemed toclick." She also said this was the best puttingday she's ever had.

"I mean, everything was just goingright," said Lewis.

Fishers was helped as well by KennedyBrooker, who tied for fourth place with a 74.Smith said one of the goals for the team wasto have two or three players in the top 10.The Tigers placed two in the top four.

"I'm very proud of all of them," saidSmith, who saw his team make it to state forthe third year in a row.

The Royals got a great performance outof Chelsea Morrow, who was the individualrunner-up with an even-par 71, a personal

best. Morrow made three birdies in herSaturday round.

"I think I did pretty well, considering

how I started out," said Morrow. "But I justkept going through, no matter what."

Haleigh Gray also made the top 10 forHSE, finishing in a three-way tie for ninthafter shooting a 77. When all was said anddone, the Royals had earned themselves a14th trip to the state meet.

"It's very exciting, for sure," said South-eastern coach Steve Guenin. "We know itwas going to be a tough regional. We knewthere were some tough teams coming inhere. We were going to have to put up apretty good number, and sure enough, wedid. We played really well today. Veryexcited."

Noblesville finished tied for sixth atEdgewood, scoring 351. Sarah Hayes led theMillers with an 82.

WESTFIELD, CARMEL ADVANCEMeanwhile, two more Hamilton County

teams, and a Guerin Catholic individual,qualified for state out of the Roncalli region-al, which took place this year at TheLegends Golf Course in Franklin.

Westfield, the state runner-up the pasttwo years, finished in second place with a306, while Carmel took third with a 314.Zionsville won the regional championshipwith a score of 303.

Jocelyn Bruch led the Shamrocks,placing third individually by carding a 74.This will be the fourth consecutive statemeet for Westfield.

"We actually got off to kind of a shakystart, didn't have the best front nine we

would've wanted," said Westfield coachTrevor Neu. "But I'm really proud of howthe girls battled in the back nine, threw insome really good scores, had several birdies

on the back nine tofinish with a prettystrong score today."

The Greyhoundshad a consistent day,with Nina Hecht andKatie Kuc both shoot-ing 76s to lead theirteam.

"I think theyplayed great, espe-cially our first three,"said Carmel coachKelly Kluesner. "Two76s, 77, especially inthis heat. We had a

couple holes that were a struggle, but overallthey fought 'til the end," said the coach.

This marks the 26th time that the Grey-hounds have qualified for the state meet,putting them in second place overall. Lafay-ette Jefferson is the all-time leader; theBronchos will mark their 30th appearanceat state after winning their own regional onSaturday.

Guerin Catholic's Angelica Pfefferkornqualified for state, the first time she will playat the big tournament. Pfefferkorn's 79 wasgood enough to make her the fifth GoldenEagle to play at state, following CarlieGehlhausen (2008), Lucy Stevens (2011),Sarah Baxter (2013) and Marissa Singer(2014).

"The course was a challenge, and I thinkit was really fun, though," said Pfefferkorn."I had some rough shots out there, butoverall it was a pretty okay day."
