TODAY’S WEATHER
HIGH: 78 LOW: 56
By FRED SWIFTWith spring vacations now over we
can expect the pri-mary electioncampaigns to be-gin in earnest.That is assumingour candidateswant to launchcampaigns.
You wouldthink those run-ning for officewould want to
speak out on issues of the day and plansthey have if elected.
But, too often our local campaignsare mostly conducted with yard signs,mailers, social appearances and maybesome door-to-door work by the seriousoffice-seekers. Name ID seems tooften be the only name of the game.
It would be refreshing to hear a can-didate say they favor or oppose a specif-ic project the city is planning or shouldconsider. Or, it would be enlighteningto have candidates express their opinionon some issues of the day.
Such things are often consideredcontroversial, so it's safer to only adver-tise how long the person has lived in thecommunity or how many grandchildrenthey may have. This information maybe interesting to some folks, but hardlyprovides a good basis for electing aperson to public office.
It is somewhat interesting, but notsurprising, to see that in the race forCarmel mayor challenger Rick Sharphas made city spending and transparen-cy in local government as his majorissues. Mayor Jim Brainard has servednotice that his aggressivecity redevelopment will continue and hedefends his record and methodof providing information to the public.
By DON JELLISONReporter EditorSheridan is a community, at election time, which is
caught between a rock and a hard place.Sheridan is a small town in northern Hamilton County.
Lots of folks who live there like it that way.“I like the small town feeling,” Silas DeVaney III told
a good turnout of Sheridan residents at a candidate forumThursday evening.
Sheridan also is a small town which is badly in need ofmoney to keep the community rolling. Money for street andsidewalk repair. Money for sewage and drainage needs.
“We need ways to increase our revenue,” DeVaneyadded.
DeVaney was one of one of seven candidates at the fronttable in the Sheridan Community Center, seven Sheridanresidents hoping to get the vote of those in the audience.He’s running in District 2, along with Glen Bougher.Running in District 1 are Brenda Bush and Darryl Waters.
David Kinkead is the only candidate in District 3. Twocandidates are squaring off for Clerk-Treasurer, ElizabethWalden and Regan Kercheval.
The two-part message was the same, even from theClerk-Treasurer candidates.
*Keep Sheridan small.*Find more funds to improve town living conditions.“We need to control growth” said Kinkead.“We need to guard our borders,” offered Bush.“We need more alternatives for senior citizens and our
youth. Change will happen,” predicted Walden.“We need to look at annexing our borders,” suggested
Bougher.“We need to keep up the good fight; lifting us up,”
challenged Kinkead.“We need to control growth,” said Waters.The great hope is a new industrial park in the
community. The big question is how to attract business tothe industrial park.
“I’m not sure we have anyone committed to coming,”Bougher said. “We’ve got to cut roads through there to getpeople interested.”
“Economic development comes slow,” DeVaney said.“We need to continue pushing forward.”
“Roads are coming,” Kinkead told the voters.“Economic development can be a hush, hush deal.”
Sheridan folks talk about Sheridan
By FRED SWIFTCampaigning for the office of mayor in
Hamilton County is not cheap. The evi-dence of this showed up Friday when pre-primary expense reports were due in thecounty elections office.
It is no surprise that the top spender wasCarmel's five-term incumbent mayor JimBrainard who is seeking a sixth term in theMay 5 Republican primary. He started theyear with a campaign treasury of $142,567,then received contributions of $115,167 fora total war chest of $257,764 of which hehas spent $155,373 until April 10, leaving acurrent balance of $102,391.
His opponent, Rick Sharp, started theyear with $69,850, got contributions of$65,252 for a total of $135,102. He hasspent $88,813 leaving an April 10 balanceof $46,289 for the remainder of the cam-paign.
The Noblesville race for mayor hasbeen waged at significantlylower cost. Mayor John Ditslear in his questfor re-election started the year with a cam-paign fund of $88,438 and added to that$43,275 in contributions prior to April 10.He has spent $50,547 which leaves himwith $81,116 at present.
Challenger Mike Corbett had only $599on January 1. He took in contributions of
$7,833, has spent $3,288, leaving a currentbalance of $5,144.
Westfield's mayoral contest is beingwaged on even a lower level. ChallengerJeff Harpe started the year with no money.He raised $7,507, spent $4,975 and owes$6,266 in various campaign related expens-es.
Incumbent Mayor Andy Cook had$5,699 on January 1. He received contribu-tions of $18,999 and has spent $5,851. Hereported an April 10 balance of $13,148.

A challenger such as Mike Corbett inNoblesville should lay out his specific plansfor city leadership if he is to be successful.Mayor John Ditslear should vigorously de-fend his record and give the voters a viewof his plans for the next four years.
Almost nothing but generalities havebeen heard from candidates for other offic-es. The city council is of great importancein any city government. A mayor cannot
carry out a program without the support ofhis council.
So, with most of our candidates sayinglittle of pertinent substance on the issues orneeds of their communities the voters havelittle to base their decision upon. And, thisprobably contributes to our pitifully lowelection day turnout.
Let's hope the campaign picks up steamin the next three weeks because time's awasting.
Fishers will also elect a mayor this year. Scott Fadness has no opponent in the primaryand therefore does not have to mount a campaign.
The increasing cost of running an election campaign is partly the reason for the totalabsence of Democratic candidates for mayor in any city in Hamilton County. With aDemocrat's chances being slim to none, the party has had no luck in finding candidates torun for the top office in Noblesville, Carmel, Westfield or Fishers. As a result winners inthe GOP primary are virtually certain of being elected in the November general election.
Obviously the campaign and spending on it is not over. But, state law provides thatcandidates must file reports by April 17 showing contributions and expenses betweenJanuary 1 and April 10. Another report is due later that will reveal final figures for theprimary campaign.
The so-called pre-primary reports of all offices on the May 5 ballot was due yesterdayand may be accessed on the Hamilton County website under Elections Office.

“Bush questioned what comes first,roads or commitments from businesses. “It’skind of like the chicken or the egg,” she said.
A question was addressed to thoserunning for Council about the looks of thecommunity. Junk in the streets and yards.
“We have ordinances, but they are hardto enforce,” Bougher said. “What is junk toone may be treasure to another.”
Bush said a ticket for littering issued inSheridan might end up being a $1 fine in thecourt.
Kinkead said going to court can be costly.“This isn’t something new. Every
Council has faced the problem,” DeVaneysaid.
“We have a community clean up dayplanned, but what do you do trying to deposeof old televisions and appliances?” askedWaters.
The Sheridan cleanup day is planned for9 a.m. on May 16
How can revenues be raised in a smalltown? The answer was the same from all ofthe five trying to find that answer inSheridan.
Grants, grants, grants, grants, and grants.
One big move which would raiserevenue is selling the town’s utilities. It’s aquick answer to big bucks. But, a movewhich would sell away Sheridan’s futureincome.
“It’s a short-term solution,” saidKinkead.
DeVaney said he has an “open mind” tosuch a sale.
Kercheval said she’s willing to listen,while Bougher countered he isn’t in favorof selling.
“It would mean having money up front,”said Waters.
Another revenue saving move discussedwas doing away with the Sheridan PoliceDepartment and turning the protection of thetown over to the Hamilton County SheriffDepartment, a move recently made by thenearby town of Atlanta.
The two women running for Clerk-Treasurer were asked their thoughts offilling that role.
“I think our staff is doing the job ofhandling things, said current Clerk-Treasurer Walden. “There always are waysto improve things,” answered Kercheval.

Jensen receives endorsementof Noblesville FOP Lodge #198
I understand your busy busy schedules and I have a limited understanding of howthe State House SAUSAGE grinding works..
Included with this correspondence is the original (10-15-2014) of three separatepieces of correspondence on this subject.. For some time I've been waiting on sometype of news that may relate to equity , logic and in some cases constituent serviceregarding this subject and the obvious error and ridiculous cost appropriate relatingto a two wheel motorcycle unit that is usable in Indiana at best 5-6 months per yearand causes no damage to our streets etc etc.... As we have discussed in person andwith this and follow up e-mails, the cost of licensing and registering motorcycles inthe state of Indiana is out of line and not representative of any logic or equity as hasbeen discussed , proven and illustrated in this and follow up correspondence .. ...
I've elected to not reiterate my prior correspondence including content in total..Inow have a feeling you have no interest in this presented inequity that affects everymotorcyclist in this state ...Consequently all parties receiving this correspondencemost likely have no interest in curing or pursuing a cure thru the BMV / Legislatureof this non agenda item not previously endorsed by the House Speaker ,Senate ProTem and/or Governor...
I honestly thought you would have an interest or desire to cure this inequityhowever I am now getting the feeling that no interest exist ...I've completed all yoursurveys and have yet to have a response from Representative Richardson /Williamsor Senator Kenley..I recognize Representative Torr represents Carmel and not No-blesville however Representative Torr has suggested a possible interest in thisinequity but now nothing so I must assume that no news is not good news formotorcyclist who elect to license their bikes in Indiana..
Am I to assume I am not connected enough , young enough or smart enough tounderstand this non interest in this obvious inequity issue applicable to all motorcy-clist including ever HOG (Harley Owners Group) member in Indiana ...
To cure this inequity , is being a voting citizen not enough to spur an interestresulting in a cure of this inequity ?
Will it be appropriate to hire an expensive lobbyist or contact RepresentativeBosma or Senator Longs office direct or go direct to the Governors office on thepossibility of getting this topic on the approved agenda if such a document exist....
How does a legitimate issue affecting many Hoosiers get on the Republicanapproved Legislative Agenda ?
Any recommendations for a menial voter?Thank You for your interest!! If no interest please advise!!

By DON JELLISONReporter EditorOn Thursday in the first game of the
Fishers-Southeastern 3-game HoosierCrossroads Conference series, HSE scoreda total of 10 runs. Friday, in a rematch atFishers, the Royals scored just two runs, butthose two tallies came much harder than theruns on Thursday.
Coach Scott Henson’s Royals scoredtwo times in the top of the seventh inning tonotch a 2-1 victory over Fishers.
The double wins by HSE sent theMudsock Series Trophy, sponsored by theDub Clark family, to the Royals. Game 3of the conference series is set today atSoutheastern. Game time has been changedfrom 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The victory yesterday by Southeasternwas a thriller. The loss by Fishers was aheartbreaker.
Fishers lefty Luke Duermit had blankedthe Southeastern hitting attack on just sixhits until the Royals’ rally in the seventh.Three of those hits were collected in thefirst, but the Royals didn’t score.
“I’ve learned to never doubt this team,”Henson said after the comeback win. “Wehad the bottom of our lineup coming up (inthe seventh), and they hadn’t done well.”
Nick Kiehl led off the seventh with a hit.“Nick didn’t have a hit until then, but he
had three yesterday,” pointed out Henson.
Then, after striking out NathanWilliams, Duermit walked pinch-hitterJackson Howard. It was Duermit’s onlywalk of the game and his last batter of thegame, as Fishers coach Matthew Cherrywent to the pen and brought in his acereliever, Elliott Gilmore, who intentionallywalked the red-hot Matthew Gorski.
“Howard had a good at-bat, drawing thewalk,” said Henson. “You knew they wouldwalk Gorski, and for good reason.”
On a mis-fire fielder’s choice attempt atthird off the bat of David Herrmann, Kiehlscored from third with the tying run. AaronMcGee grounded out to short as Howardscored with what was to be the winning run.
Herrmann, another lefty, allowed Fishersjust four hits and one run until Hensonreplaced him in the seventh withSoutheastern’s ace reliever, MikePachmeyer. He allowed a walk to ChristianChapman, but got out of the inning withoutgiving up a run.
McGee had two of Southeastern’s sevenhits. J.B.Washburn collected a triple for theRoyals
Duermit had two of Fishers’ four hits.Evan Ruthsatz collected a double.
The third game in the series today is justas important as the first two.
“It really is,” said Henson, whose Royalsare now 8-2 and have won series over Avonand now Fishers.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorA dramatic baseball game like the one
Westfield and No-blesville played onFriday deserved adramatic ending.
And is there noth-ing more dramaticthan a walk-off homerun? That's how theShamrocks won.
Tied with theMillers at 6-6, JacobRobinson smackedhis first pitch over theleft field fence, scor-
ing two of his teammates before he crossedhome plate. With that, Westfield owned a9-6 victory over Noblesville, which gavethem the first two games of the three-gameHoosier Crossroads Conference series.
"We'll take that," said 'Rocks coach Ry-an Bunnell after the game. Bunnell calledRobinson "one of the more competitive kidsthat we've had" on the Westfield baseballteam. Here's the thing - Robinson is morewell-known as a football player; he hascommitted to play that sport at Indiana Uni-versity. But he can play baseball well, too.
"We'll always take a kid that competesthe way he does," said Bunnell.
Robinson's homer was the final word onwhat had been a trulyback-and-forth game.The Millers dartedout to a 3-0 lead in thefirst inning. MichaelCarmosino started atwo-out rally with awalk, then scored ona double by ConnorChristman. BryceMasterson waswalked on to first,then Travis Gillian hita single to score Car-
mosino. Masterson also scored on a throw-ing error.
Westfield got two of the runs back in thebottom of the first. Nick Rhodes scored ona passed ball, this after he singled, thenadvanced to third on a double by Ayers,who made it home himself on a fielder'schoice. Ryan Pepiot got the RBI for Ayers'run.
Things were quiet for most of the game,although Noblesville scored one run in thethird. Gillian batted Christman in; both hitsingles that inning.
Westfield was still behind 4-2 in thebottom of the fifth inning, but that's whenthe 'Rocks poured in four runs. They did sowith small ball: One single each from Ay-
ers, Pepiot, Jackson Garrett, Robinson andLogan Schneider.
Pepiot's hit scoredAyers, with Robinsongetting Pepiot home.Julian Lytle came into pinch run for Gar-rett, and he scored onan error. Schneidersent Robinson home.
Ayers was 3-for-4at the plate, with Pep-iot, Garrett, Robinsonand Schneider all get-ting two hits.
Noblesville tiedthe game in the top ofthe seventh. Christ-man and Gillian eachhad base hits, whichgave them perfectnumbers at the plate:Christman was 4-for-4, Gillian 3-for-3.Gillian's hit scoredCarmosino, whileChristman made ithome on a sacrifice
fly by Austin Shirley.That set up Robinson's game-winner.
Robinson was coming off of a 3-for-3 per-formance in last night's Westfield-Nobles-ville win game; Friday he was 2-for-4.
Robinson said he felt "really confident lastnight," so he had no trouble taking a bigswing.
Since Robinson pitched the final inning,he got the win. Noah Shanteau threw thefirst five innings, striking out four. JulianLytle pitched the sixth, striking out two.
Dax McLochlin pitched the first fiveinnings for the Millers, striking out five.
The series concludes this morning at 11a.m., at Don Dunker Field.
"Tomorrow will be another hard-foughtgame," said Robinson.
