TODAY S WEATHER Today: Morning shower chances, then becoming partly cloudy. Tonight: Partly cloudy. HIGH: 74 LOW: 55 Fishers defunds Freedom Festival By LARRY LANNAN The Fishers City Council Non-Profit Committee, consisting of council members Cecilia Coble, Brad DeReamer and Pete Peterson, recently reviewed funding applications from 25 organizations requesting city funds. The committee recommended funding 13 of those groups. The popular Fishers Freedom Festival was not included in the list of organizations to receive funding. The cuts in funding were most likely the result of the Indiana Department of Local Finance (DLGF) distributing more than $600,000 less in County Option Income Tax (COIT) to the City of Fishers than earlier forecasts indicated. Members of the Fishers City Council Finance Committee said there would be some reduction in the amount of money available for the non-profits with less money coming in than originally projected. The original plan was to provide a total of $331,500 to be split up among the chosen organizations. That figure is likely to be reduced. Fishers Freedom Festival Executive Director Jennifer Kehl stated the festival board and volunteer committees will decide by the end of October whether to have the Freedom Festival in 2018 without city funding. In the meantime, the City of Fishers issued a statement saying, If the Fishers Freedom Festival Committee chooses not to host the Festival next year, the City will fill that void. The City remains committed to bringing residents together by carrying on traditions such as the parade and others our residents love. When asked why the Freedom Festival was not selected to receive city funds next year, the statement from the City of Fishers stated the non-profit committee took a holistic view of the nonprofits that currently served our community, weighed the impact of each of those nonprofits and prioritized the funds accordingly.

2 2 News Hoosiers helping after Hurricane Harvey Photo provided In response to the monumental task of recovering from Hurricane Harvey, Noblesville-based Indiana Restoration & Cleaning Services, Inc. is sending 24-foot and 36-foot trailers to the Houston area. The company is planning on a Monday or Tuesday departure as they transport air movers and dehumidifiers to the region to assist local restoration companies in their clean-up efforts. IRCS s General Manager, Tom Edens, provided clear reasoning on why IRCS is taking a proactive approach. Our owners, Dan Hanlin and Darren Peck, have always taken their stewardship of the community very seriously. Typically, that community is Noblesville, Hamilton County, and central Indiana. In this case, it extends to our friends in the restoration business in Texas. I would imagine other companies from other areas are doing the same thing. I would certainly hope they are. It is humbling for us to be able to provide a bit of help to those in need as they begin to recover. Edens went on to say that he didn t know how long IRCS would have equipment in Texas; only saying that they ll be there as long as they can be of help.

4 4 News Meeting Notices Pursuant to IC (a) the Hamilton County Community Corrections Advisory Board will meet at noon on Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017 at Hamilton County Community Corrections, Cumberland Road, Noblesville, IN. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss agency business. /s/ Robin M. Mills Hamilton County Auditor Send Meeting Notices to: MADD Indiana joins law enforcement for crackdown on drunk driving Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Indiana law enforcement agencies kicked off their drunk driving crackdown Friday as part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) s national crackdown: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Nationwide in 2015, over 10,000 people were killed and 153 on Labor Day weekend in crashes where a driver had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of.08 or higher. MADD s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving calls for high-visibility law enforcement as a key component of eliminating drunk driving deaths and injuries. This type of enhanced enforcement is especially important because of people like Morgan Brittany Prichard, a young wife, daughter, sister, friend and mother of three, who was killed by a drunk driver on Easter morning, March 27, Morgan was a beloved member of her community, well loved by her friends and family, and very much loved and needed by her husband and three children. With options such as ridesharing and non-drinking designated driver, it is devastating that families in our state continue to be impacted by drunk driving a 100 percent preventable and violent crime, said Lael Hill, MADD Indiana Spokesperson. We are glad that the law enforcement enforces efforts like the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown to help reduce drunk driving crashes. Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter stated, Frankly, there simply is no excuse for anyone to drink and drive in the age of Uber and Lyft, so if you make the choice to drink to intoxication, we at the state police will give you a ride to jail. Supt. Carter concluded, We d much rather have people make responsible decisions and choices, but for those who don t it won t just be the state police out arresting drunk drivers. This is a concerted effort among all law enforcements throughout Indiana. Research shows that highly-publicized, highly-visible and frequent sobriety checkpoints reduce alcohol-related fatalities by approximately 20 percent. NHTSA s Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown mobilizes thousands of law enforcement agencies in all 50 states. Why more Americans should be talking about retirement StatePoint More than half of Gen X-ers and 40 percent of Baby Boomers have never given advice to their children about planning for retirement, according to a new study from North American Company for Life and Health Insurance. One retirement industry leader says that this lack of discussion about money matters can have a big impact on the future of savings. Even when Americans are talking about retirement with their children, it s clear from this study that their advice is vague, said Ann Hughes, chief distribution officer. The first step in helping the next generation succeed financially could come from simply, clearly sharing what you ve learned from your mistakes. Baby Boomers reported spending money on things they didn t need, going into too much debt and not saving for retirement when they were young. That s not what they talked about with their kids, though, according to the study. And with even more Gen X-ers saying they regret spending and accumulating debt than previous generations, they may be on course to repeat their parents mistakes. Boomers and Gen X-ers share similar financial fears, according to the study. About 66 percent of Baby Boomers admit they are concerned about outliving their retirement savings. Gen X-ers are even more fearful 77 percent report the same concern. These fears may stem in part from the fact that many Gen X-ers are getting squeezed with nearly a fifth of this sandwich generation supporting their parents and 71 percent supporting children. To ensure your savings can last a lifetime, start by assessing your current retirement strategy, including benefits such as Social Security and any other income streams. Then look at your future financial needs. You may also wish to investigate options such as a fixed index annuity, which can help protect your nest egg from market volatility and generate steady lifetime income. While the survey results suggest a growing participation in parents retirement planning, there is clearly room for improvement in communication on these subjects. All too often, money becomes a taboo topic or a source of embarrassment, Hughes said. Making time for these discussions can help encourage each generation to avoid making the same mistakes their parents did and plan better for the future. ReadTheReporter.com

5 Proper pool closing can prevent water pollution Labor Day weekend for many signals the end of summer and backyard barbecues, but for those responsible for public and private pools, it also is a time when many are closing those pools for the year. Indiana American Water is encouraging pool owners and managers to take the proper precautions when draining their pools and storing or disposing of pool chemicals. As pools begin to close after Labor Day weekend, we want to ensure our waterways aren t contaminated with chemically treated water and untreated combinations of potentially harmful and dangerous pool chemicals, said Deborah Dewey, Indiana American Water president. All Indiana residents who have a pool or managers of public pools must properly use, store and eventually dispose of chemicals to keep Indiana s waterways and drinking water supply clean and to protect the aquatic ecosystem. Indiana American Water is urging everyone to follow a few simple steps to help prevent water pollution when closing their pools: Only rain down the drain: when draining a pool full of water treated by chemicals, the water should be drained directly into a sanitary sewer system (sewer clean out port) to ensure the water makes its way to a treatment plant and not local waterways Septic system overflows: Do not drain your pool water into a septic tank as it may overflow causing backups or malfunctions Keep it clean: dechlorinate your pool to undetectable levels, less than 0.1mg/L before draining Know where to go: visit Recycle Indiana to find a location nearest you to dispose of hazardous pool chemicals Support Hunger Action Month by Sharing on the Prairie One million Hoosiers often don t know where their next meal is coming from. That s why The Kroger Co. and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra created Sharing on the Prairie. The partners in Symphony on the Prairie offer the final concerts of the season to mark the beginning of Hunger Action Month. Music fans at Conner Prairie are encouraged to pack their picnic baskets a little differently this weekend, adding food for donation to Gleaners Food Bank. Feeding America, the nation s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, calls Hunger Action Month the time to take action on the hunger crisis. You can help Gleaners by donating any of the non-perishable foods listed at this website. Donation barrels will be at Conner Prairie for the holiday weekend concerts.

6 6 Sports Fishers shuts out Noblesville for first win of season By CRAIG ADKINS When Fishers took the short road trip north to Noblesville for their Week 3 matchup, they were focused on one thing and one thing only and that was getting their first victory of the 2017 season. That's exactly what the Tigers did with a convincing 29-0 shutout of the host Millers. The two Hoosier Crossroads Conference rivals traded punts after going three-and-out on both of their first series of the night. After a short punt from Jack Knight, the Tigers had a short field, starting their drive at the Noblesville 39 and it didn't take long for them to get their first score in two weeks. Quarterback Joe Vore made it look easy, finding Isaiah Dunnuck for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 5:21 left in the first. Fishers attempted a 2-point conversion, but the run by Collin Statz was stopped by the Miller defense, putting the Tigers up 6-0 early. Another three plays and a punt by Noblesville gave the ball back to Fishers at the Miller 40, but three plays later, Fishers gave it back on an interception by Austin Bridenthal. Noblesville was starting to move the ball a little, but tailback Christian Collier coughed up the ball just into Tiger territory at the Fishers 47. Fishers took over after the fumble and marched down the the 20 before Vore found Statz for a 20-yard TD pass. The two-point pass was incomplete and Fishers held for a 12-0 lead. Head coach Rick Wimmer seemed pleased with his team's effort throughout, despite current injuries and having to play a number of underclassmen. Vore had a little bit of a rocky start. He threw a pick early, but he threw the ball well and the receivers did a good job of getting it, Wimmer of his poised junior signal caller. I thought our offensive line did a good job with protection and a pretty good job of run blocking, Wimmer continued on his O-line helping Vore have a good night behind center. The Tiger offense would tack on another score before half. It was Dunnuck again from his tight end slot, catching a 17-yard pass from Vore. This time they would opt to have Ben Norton boot the PAT that would account for the halftime score of The Millers received the second half kickoff and seemed to be an energized group on offense, that is until the Tigers' Seth Sontich intercepted a Noblesville pass. In Fishers' next series following the Sontich pick, the Millers forced the Tigers to punt, but only to get it back on the punt. The ball bounced and hit a Noblesville player and Fishers recovered the ball at the Miller 18. Noblesville's "D" stepped up and forced a field goal attempt from 33 yards away, but it brushed the right upright and was no good. Our defense played steady all night, Wimmer on his defense having a great night in the shutout. He was exactly right about that. After the missed field goal, defensive end Daniel Amadi grabbed an INT of his own and ran it clear down to the Noblesville 25. The Tigers would get their lone rushing score with sophomore, workhouse tailback Geoffrey Brown carrying the ball over the goal line for a six-yard touchdown to make it a 26-0 margin. Noblesville had plenty of opportunities, but kept shooting themselves in the foot. The Millers tried to get into some sort of rhythm offensively, but every time things were going right, Fishers' "D" came up big and made the plays necessary to get the stops. The Tigers "D" forced Noblesville to turn the ball over on downs twice in the second half; late in the third and early in the fourth. Following the latter, Fishers was in Reporter photo by Kent Graham Fishers Colin Statz leaps over Noblesville s Zach Gruver (6), with Mason Battle in pursuit during the Tigers-Millers football game Friday night at Hare Chevrolet Field. prime shape to score again, but a little better play defensively kept the Tigers to a 26-yard field goal off the foot of Norton that would ice it for the final of When you look at tonight, I'd say it was a team loss, especially offensively and defensively, Noblesville head coach Jason Simmons on his team's disappointing loss on their home field. The Fishers offense simply just wore out Noblesville's defense. It never bodes well when your defense is on the field more than your offense. It just turns into one long night of football. Our defense was on the field too long. And that's because of our inability offensively to make plays. Whether that's drops, not making the right reads, throwing the football in the right spot or our inability to actually keep the blocking scheme, Simmons continues on how things fell apart. Jon Vore went for 166 yards through the air and three TD's. His main targets Isaiah Dunnuck (3-47, 2 TDs) and Collin Statz (5-55, TD) helped Vore carve through the Miller defense. Noblesville (0-3, 0-1 HCC) makes the short trip west next week to face the Westfield Shamrocks (3-0, 1-0 HCC). The 2016 Class 5A state champs grabbed a big road win at Zionsville, Fishers (1-2, 1-0 HCC) got back on track and looks to get back to.500 next Friday when they face Hamilton Southeastern (1-2, 0-1 HCC) at home in the battle for the Mudsock Trophy.

The Shamrocks, who are receiving votes in the Class 6A poll, engaged in a tough battle with 5A No. 10 Zionsville. The teams traded touchdowns early in the second quarter, with Westfield getting on the board first after Kyle Pepiot caught a 13-yard pass from Cameron Nance. The Eagles tied the game with a touchdown of their own, but Nance struck again, finding Matthew Meyer for an 11-yard score.

The Blackhawks were leading at Tri-Central 7-0 at halftime, but started to pour it on in the third quarter, scoring three quick touchdowns. That led to a 28-6 victory for Sheridan, which is now 2-1 for the season. The 'Hawks are also in the early driver's seat in the Hoosier Heartland Conference, as they are now 2-0 in the league. Sheridan's first touchdown came in the second quarter, when Cole Cummings caught a 16-yard pass from Drake Delph. That would be the only score in the first half. "We had a little talk at halftime and got some things straightened out," said Blackhawks coach Bud Wright. Joe Callahan got the first score of the second half, running in from 52 yards. Brody Perry was next, as he caught a 52-yard pass from Delph. "We're throwing the ball more this year," said Wright. Next up was Ange Gnamkey, a transfer from Cardinal Ritter. Gnamkey scored his first touchdown for the Blackhawks in the third period, making a 22-yard run into the end zone. Wright said Gnamkey will be part of the Blackhawks' return squad, along with playing defensive back and receiver. Gunnar Williams made all four extra-point kicks. Callahan finished the game with 220 yards rushing on 20 carries, an 11 yard per carry average. Sheridan returns to Bud Wright Stadium next Friday, continuing HHC play by hosting Carroll.

9 Sports 9 The Hamilton Southeastern defense comes off the field after holding off an Avon drive in the fourth quarter. Trojans run away from Hounds Carmel lost its Metropolitan Conference opener to Center Grove Friday at Carmel Stadium. The Class 6A No. 3 Greyhounds got on the board midway through the second quarter when Atticus Clouse caught a 36-yard pass from Jake McDonald. Coghlan made the extra-point kick, and would later boot in a 44-yard field goal. That kept Carmel within at halftime. But the 6A No. 4 Trojans scored twice in the third quarter, and that margin held until the end of the game. Clouse finished the game with eight catches totaling 99 yards. McDonald was 12-for-21 with 123 yards passing. The Greyhounds are 1-2 overall, and travel to Pike next week.
