By FRED SWIFTWith the passage of legislation (Senate Bill 251) in the
recent session of the Indiana GeneralAssembly, Hamilton County is nowfree to proceed with plans for expan-sion of the Government and JudicialCenter. This new law allows thecounty to spend more than $12 mil-lion on the project if it chooses tobond for that amount and then usecash on hand to fund what is neededin excess of $12 million.
Until the recent change in the law, local governmentwas required to submit any proposed bonding for a capitalproject that exceeded $12 million to a voter referendumwhether the county had cash reserves or not. County com-missioners did not want to have a countywide referendumon the Judicial Center project.
The county is awaiting a study by professional archi-tects and engineers to see how much space is needed andhow an addition to the existing building can be configuredto provide for the needs of more courts, office space andstorage. That report is expected soon.
In the meantime County Commissioner SteveDillinger has suggested an alternative to adding onto thepresent structure. He wants to explore building a separate
facility on the southside of Conner Street for expansionneeds and parking with a connecting tunnel or overheadwalkway to the present Judicial Center.
The Judicial Center was occupied in 1992 and antici-pated to meet county government needs for at least 20years. Now, 23 years later, officials say the need in fastapproaching for more space. They believe as many of twomore courts will be coming in the reasonably near future.
Parking needs in the downtown area have also becomea topic of conversation in both county and Noblesville citygovernment. Dillinger has pointed out that the addition ofoffice and court space without consideration of parkingneeds will only lead to a bigger problem.
Senate Bill 251 allows county to expand Judicial Center

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorOf all the Hoosier Crossroads Confer-
ence games that Westfield has won, Fri-day's game against Fishers might be themost memorable.
It has to be the most dramatic. Afterwaiting out an hour-and-a-half weather de-lay that halted the Shamrocks-Tigers show-down in the middle of the seventh inning,Westfield broke a 2-2 tie with only twoat-bats to claim a 3-2 victory over Fishers.
The win was significant because itclinched an outright HCC championship forthe 'Rocks. Westfield finished conferenceplay at 14-4.
"If we had not come away with thisoutright, we would have been pretty disap-pointed, and I know the kids wanted itpretty bad ," said Shamrocks coach RyanBunnell. "They made some plays when theyneeded to tonight. Made enough plays, any-way."
It never rained at the Shamrocks fieldduring the delay - lighting was the cause.The storms weren't close enough to sendeveryone running for cover; in fact, most ofthe fans, players and coaches spent the de-lay out on the field.
Once play resumed, Westfield took careof getting the win in lightning speed. BrianSkelton punched a hit into right field to geton first base. That brought up Logan Sch-neider for his first at-bat of the game.
One was all he needed. Schneider laid aperfect bunt down the left field line, andquickly sprinted to first as Skelton headedto second. But a series of overthrows al-lowed Skelton to round third, and finallyget home.
The game was a good one from start tofinish. Westfield struck early, with ChrisAyers hitting a two-out triple in the bottomof the first inning. Bailey Partlow got Ayersin quickly with an RBI single. That 1-0 leadheld for four innings.
Fishers got on the board with a well-crafted run in the top of the fifth. BrendanToungate singled on to first, then hurried tothird on a Jacob Totman single. A coupleat-bats later, Toungate was on his wayhome thanks to a sacrifice fly by Joe Michel.
The Tigers took the lead in the sixthinning. Taylor Soper drew a walk, ad-vanced to second on a passed ball, thenscored when Toungate hit a double.
But Westfield tied the game up in thebottom of the sixth. Ayers and Partlow hitsingles, then each advanced when HarrisonFreed hit a sacrifice fly. Ayers then scoredon a wild pitch.
Ayers was perfect at the plate, hitting3-for-3 with two runs scored. Partlow andSkelton both had two hits. Ryan Pepiotpitched five innings, scattering five hits.
"I thought Fishers' pitchers did a nicejob," said Bunnell. "They gave us troubleall weekend.
Jackson Bard threw the sixth inning,then Jacob Robinson pitched the seventh,winding up with the win.
"We got to get back to putting somebetter at-bats together, but we also did somethings when it counted in this series," saidBunnell.
Toungate and Andy Bennett both hadtwo hits on the night for the Tigers.
