Wednesday, November 23, 2016 Sheridan, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield Vol. 3, No. 232 Rain today and tonight until 1 a.m. Precipitation chances are 80 percent today and 50 percent tonight. TODAY’S WEATHER HIGH: 45 LOW: 41 By FRED SWIFT Could the gift of acreage to the County Parks Depart- ment jump-start plans for extending the Midland Trail east from Noblesville? The Parks Department has received a donation of seven acres from Sue Harger Dillon and other members of the Harger family. Located along the former Midland Railroad right-of-way near its intersection with DeShane Ave. Mrs. Dillon points out that one of the features of the parcel is a finn (shallow wetland) which supports plant life different from that found around a bog or common swamp because its water is alkaline rather than acidic. Some huge native trees also stand on the property. The donation was formally presented at Monday night's park board meeting. Mrs. Dillon said she hopes the land can one day be used as a trail head for the hiking and cycling trail that is proposed to cross the entire county, east to west. She said she would also hope the name Harger Trace could be adopted. At the present time Westfield has completed the trail as far east as Gray Road. Noblesville is slowly working on the section from Gray Road to the east bank of White River. A target date for completion has not been announced. The Midland Railroad which originally extended from Muncie to Brazil, Indiana, was abandoned more than 20 years ago. Using such abandoned rail beds for trails has become popular in communities throughout the country. The Monon Trail, running north and south through Hamilton County, is currently being extended from Westfield to Sheridan. Jump start for the Midland Trail Mayor John Ditslear has announced that Noblesville residents Jerry and Jane Barr will serve as the grand marshals for the 2016 Noblesville Christmas Parade on Sunday, Nov. 27. “The Barrs are great examples of Noblesville success stories. They each were raised here, graduated from Noblesville High School and returned home to distinguish themselves in their professional careers,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear. “Having them as the face of this year’s Christmas Parade is perfect because the holiday season is known as the time to give and the Barrs continue to find ways to improve our community year-round through their service.” Jerry is the former Judge of Hamilton Superior Court No. 2. He was appointed as the first judge of the court by Gov. Otis Bowen in 1979, was elected in 1980, and reelected thereafter in 1986, 1992 and 1998 without opposition. He presided over many of the major criminal and civil trials, including several state court class action cases, occurring in the county during his tenure. Before assuming the Superior Court Bench, Judge Barr served as attorney for the Towns of Cicero and Atlanta, several Township Trustees, the Hamilton County Park and Recreation Board, and other entities. He also served as Hamilton County Deputy Prosecutor in 1968 and as the Noblesville City Court Judge from 1972- 1974. “I believe Noblesville has been a great place to live, work and raise a family,” said Jerry. “Traditions like the Christmas Parade and other events in Noblesville are a part of what makes this community a special place.” Jane serves on the Noblesville School Board, where she was first elected in May 2008. A retired teacher, she taught for 30 years including 23 of those in Noblesville at Hazel Dell and Stony Creek elementary schools. She currently supervises student teachers from Butler University. Jane earned a bachelor’s degree from Ball State University and a master’s degree from the University of Illinois. She was co-chair of the Performance Based Accreditation Committee and then served as co-chair of the North Central Accreditation Committee for Hazel Dell and as a member of the overall committee for Noblesville Schools. “Jerry and I are honored to be selected as grand marshals,” said Jane. “We can’t wait for the parade and hope it will be fun for all those participating and attending. It’s a great kickoff to the holiday season.” The Barrs, who have two adult daughters and three grandchildren, also find time to volunteer in the community. In addition to numerous legal associations, Jerry served on the Hamilton County Parks Board, Noblesville Noon Kiwanis, Noblesville Chamber of Commerce Board, Crossroads of America Council of Boy Scouts of America, and was a founding member of The Cherish Center, 50 Club of Hamilton County and Noblesville Youth Assistance. They both are life members of the NHS Alumni Association and members of First United Methodist Church. Jane belongs to FUMC’s Rebekah Circle, is treasurer of Alpha Chi Omega Alumnae Chapter and past president of Tri Kappa. She also is a member of Hamilton County Retired Teachers, Kappa Delta Pi education honorary and the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation. “It’s important to be involved in your community and involved in things you believe in. Children are our future and we want what’s best for them,” Jane said.

Matthew Cook to serve as the Noblesville City Judge. Cook will be sworn in at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, December 7 in the Noblesville City Courtroom, 135 S. Ninth St. “I am extremely grateful and humbled by my selection. I am excited to begin this new journey in the legal system and look forward to serving the city I love in a new way,” Cook said. Cook was the Noblesville High School valedictorian in 1987 before traveling to Bloomington to earn his business degree and later his J.D. from the IU School of Law, where he was named to the Order of Barristers. He and his father run the law firm, Cook & Cook, on the downtown square in Noblesville. Cook is a member of the Hamilton County and Indiana State Bar Association and is admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana. Cook previously served as a board member of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation. He also is involved in the Noblesville Boy Scouts program, Noblesville High School Alumni Association, Noblesville Elks and Kiwanis clubs. “I have known Matthew for a long time and have faith that he will be a fair and honest city judge. I have no doubt that he will excel in this role,” said Mayor John Ditslear. “Noblesville runs in Matthew’s blood. We all know Matthew from his prominent career as a lawyer, but he gives back to Noblesville every chance he gets.” Cook will fill the remaining four-year term of Judge Gregory L. Caldwell, who served in that position since 1992. Since his passing, judges Judith S. Proffitt, Jerry M. Barr and Daniel J. Pfleging have served as judges pro tempore in the Noblesville City Court.

played its first game as the No 1-rankedin Class 4A Tuesday and the Greyhoundsdefinitely played like a No 1 team

Carmel beat Noblesville 72-45 at TheMill keeping its record perfect at 5-0 TheHounds used an incredible shootingperformance in the first half to take a50-16 halftime lead then held that sizableadvantage in the second half

The first half I thought we playedvery well on both ends of the floor saidCarmel coach Tod Windlan

Carmel scored 15 unanswered pointsin the second quarter to jump ahead 47-13Amy Dilk scored nine points in that runincluding - what else - two more 3-pointers

Said it for a long time shes about asgood as they get as a point guard as ajunior said Windlan She sees the floorreally well so shes really hard to trap andpressure Her outside game has picked upa lot

The Millers now 4-3 for the seasonchipped away at the lead in the secondhalf at one point going on a 11-0 run ButCarmels huge first half was just too muchto overcome

Theyre really talented and theyobviously shot ridiculous in the first halfsaid Noblesville coach Donna Buckley Ilike that we came out and competed in thesecond half and just settled in and didthings a lot better

Dilk was one of four Greyhounds indouble figures with 23 points Christyscored 12 points while Taiwo added 11Jasmine McWilliams earned a double-

double with 10 points and 10 reboundsDilk and Taiwo both handed out fourassists while Smith and Taiwo eachblocked two shots

Carmel scored 15 unanswered pointsin the second quarter to jump ahead 47-13Amy Dilk scored nine points in that runincluding - what else - two more 3-pointers

Said it for a long time shes about asgood as they get as a point guard as ajunior said Windlan She sees the floorreally well so shes really hard to trap andpressure Her outside game has picked upa lot

The Millers now 4-3 for the seasonchipped away at the lead in the secondhalf at one point going on a 11-0 run ButCarmels huge first half was just too muchto overcome

Theyre really talented and theyobviously shot ridiculous in the first halfsaid Noblesville coach Donna Buckley Ilike that we came out and competed in thesecond half and just settled in and didthings a lot better

Dilk was one of four Greyhounds indouble figures with 23 points Christyscored 12 points while Taiwo added 11Jasmine McWilliams earned a double-

double with 10 points and 10 reboundsDilk and Taiwo both handed out fourassists while Smith and Taiwo eachblocked two shots

played its first game as the No 1-rankedin Class 4A Tuesday and the Greyhoundsdefinitely played like a No 1 team

Carmel beat Noblesville 72-45 at TheMill keeping its record perfect at 5-0 TheHounds used an incredible shootingperformance in the first half to take a50-16 halftime lead then held that sizableadvantage in the second half

The first half I thought we playedvery well on both ends of the floor saidCarmel coach Tod Windlan

The Greyhounds led 3-2 then took offon a 17-0 run that used up much of thefirst quarter Tomi Taiwo scored Carmelsfirst baskets both 3-pointers Fivedifferent Greyhounds got points in the firstperiod with Olivia Christy pouring in 10points including a pair of 3s

Carmel scored 15 unanswered pointsin the second quarter to jump ahead 47-13Amy Dilk scored nine points in that runincluding - what else - two more 3-pointers

Said it for a long time shes about asgood as they get as a point guard as ajunior said Windlan She sees the floorreally well so shes really hard to trap andpressure Her outside game has picked upa lot

The Millers now 4-3 for the seasonchipped away at the lead in the secondhalf at one point going on a 11-0 run ButCarmels huge first half was just too muchto overcome

Theyre really talented and theyobviously shot ridiculous in the first halfsaid Noblesville coach Donna Buckley Ilike that we came out and competed in thesecond half and just settled in and didthings a lot better

Dilk was one of four Greyhounds indouble figures with 23 points Christyscored 12 points while Taiwo added 11Jasmine McWilliams earned a double-

double with 10 points and 10 reboundsDilk and Taiwo both handed out fourassists while Smith and Taiwo eachblocked two shots

Carmel beat Noblesville 72-45 at TheMill keeping its record perfect at 5-0 TheHounds used an incredible shootingperformance in the first half to take a50-16 halftime lead then held that sizableadvantage in the second half

The first half I thought we playedvery well on both ends of the floor saidCarmel coach Tod Windlan

Carmel scored 15 unanswered pointsin the second quarter to jump ahead 47-13Amy Dilk scored nine points in that runincluding - what else - two more 3-pointers

Said it for a long time shes about asgood as they get as a point guard as ajunior said Windlan She sees the floorreally well so shes really hard to trap andpressure Her outside game has picked upa lot

The Millers now 4-3 for the seasonchipped away at the lead in the secondhalf at one point going on a 11-0 run ButCarmels huge first half was just too muchto overcome

Theyre really talented and theyobviously shot ridiculous in the first halfsaid Noblesville coach Donna Buckley Ilike that we came out and competed in thesecond half and just settled in and didthings a lot better

Dilk was one of four Greyhounds indouble figures with 23 points Christyscored 12 points while Taiwo added 11Jasmine McWilliams earned a double-

double with 10 points and 10 reboundsDilk and Taiwo both handed out fourassists while Smith and Taiwo eachblocked two shots

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorThe Carmel girls basketball team

played its first game as the No 1-rankedin Class 4A Tuesday and the Greyhoundsdefinitely played like a No 1 team

Carmel beat Noblesville 72-45 at TheMill keeping its record perfect at 5-0 TheHounds used an incredible shootingperformance in the first half to take a50-16 halftime lead then held that sizableadvantage in the second half

The first half I thought we playedvery well on both ends of the floor saidCarmel coach Tod Windlan

The Greyhounds led 3-2 then took offon a 17-0 run that used up much of thefirst quarter Tomi Taiwo scored Carmelsfirst baskets both 3-pointers Fivedifferent Greyhounds got points in the firstperiod with Olivia Christy pouring in 10points including a pair of 3s

Carmel scored 15 unanswered pointsin the second quarter to jump ahead 47-13Amy Dilk scored nine points in that runincluding - what else - two more 3-pointers

Said it for a long time shes about asgood as they get as a point guard as ajunior said Windlan She sees the floorreally well so shes really hard to trap andpressure Her outside game has picked upa lot

The Millers now 4-3 for the seasonchipped away at the lead in the secondhalf at one point going on a 11-0 run ButCarmels huge first half was just too muchto overcome

Theyre really talented and theyobviously shot ridiculous in the first halfsaid Noblesville coach Donna Buckley Ilike that we came out and competed in thesecond half and just settled in and didthings a lot better

Dilk was one of four Greyhounds indouble figures with 23 points Christyscored 12 points while Taiwo added 11Jasmine McWilliams earned a double-

double with 10 points and 10 reboundsDilk and Taiwo both handed out fourassists while Smith and Taiwo eachblocked two shots

Emily Kiser had another double-double for the Millers with 21 points and13 rebounds Maddie Knight added eightpoints and Sam Salmon made two 3-pointers for six points Kiser also blockedfour shots
