Weather unfit for ducks? - The Paper of Montgomery County
TODAY’S VERSE And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. – Heb 11:6 (NIV) Judge Caldwell always lived life to the fullest I only knew Greg Caldwell socially, and he was my neighbor in Old Town Noblesville. But I could always count on him to smile and say “hello” whenever I saw him. I remember the The Times Editor night of the Noblesville Brewfest. Folks were going to Syd’s Bar & Grill to hang out afterward. The bar was packed. People were singing karaoke. And there was Caldwell sitting on a bar stool. He would shoot the breeze with anybody who stopped to talk. He even came over to our table to share a laugh. I wasn’t surprised to see Caldwell at Syd’s. It’s where I found him relaxing at a booth the night of the May 2015 primary election during which he was re-elected Noblesville City Court Judge, a position he held since 1992. “I have the privilege of doing something which I enjoy doing that is a benefit to my community, and I want to continue to do that,” Caldwell told me when I asked why he was running for re-election. Caldwell, who some called “The Judge” or “Pops,” died peacefully in his sleep Thursday night while visiting family in Denver. The 74-year-old had arrived that evening for the family’s annual elk-hunting trip, which was to be Friday. “We got to enjoy a nice dinner as he sat between the kids, enjoyed a steak, a glass of wine and told us a few jokes…,” son Travis Caldwell wrote on Facebook Saturday morning. “I’m so happy that he lived his life to the fullest and gave so much love and support to so many people at the same time,” Travis wrote about his father, who enjoyed serving the community. “He was my buddy. I will miss him terribly,” son Trent Caldwell wrote. While Greg Caldwell had a one-of-akind wild spirit, he was also a good friend to many. A judge who let some off with a warning on their speeding tickets. And a sportsman who had a “Golf in All 50 States” bucket list. He was a gun-collecting Republican. A shutterbug. A hunter. And a music lover who kept a harmonica in his pocket. He was a wonderful conversationalist, a traveler who loved to take road trips with his family, and a fisherman who had planned to get back this week for a tournament. Caldwell wrote poems and knew how to play the piano, and he was writing a book. He also loved spending time with his three grandchildren and watching them succeed. Judge Caldwell, you will be missed and long remembered. BETSY REASON TIMES 50¢ The Hamilton County’s Only Daily Newspaper NOBLESVILLE, INDIANA WWW.THETIMES24-7.COM Governor to appoint Caldwell’s replacement By Kevin Thompkins [email protected] Gov. Mike Pence, or Indiana’s next governor, will appoint a judge to replace Gregory L. Caldwell, as Noblesville City Judge. Caldwell, 74, died Friday. He served as city judge since 1992. Noblesville City Court constitutes the judicial branch of city government and is a court of limited jurisdiction which handles City Ordinance Violations, Parking Violations and Infraction Violations. Attorney Jim Crum was previously scheduled to fill in for Caldwell on Tuesday, as the judge was to be away on vacation. As of Friday, there was no scheduled court session on Oct. 25. Caldwell has been a resident of Hamilton County since 1972 and has maintained a law practice in Noblesville Caldwell since that year also serving as a Hamilton County Deputy Prosecutor from 1972 to 1977. Caldwell is a member of the Hamilton County Bar Association and the Indiana City and Town Court Judges Association. Passing the torch During his years of law practice, Caldwell has had professional memberships in the Indiana State Bar Association, Tipton County Bar Association, Hamilton County Bar Association and Indiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He also is a charter member and past president of the Noblesville Sunriser’s Kiwanis Club and has been a Kiwanian since 1968. He belongs to the Noblesville Elks Lodge and the Fox Prairie Men’s Golf Club. Caldwell has two sons: Trent, wife Theresa and daughter Taylor, and Travis, wife Rebecca and daughter Lucy and son Dane.

In response to accusations by Patriot Majority USA of voter suppression efforts and civil rights violations by the Indiana State Police (ISP), the ISP issued the following statement: “Every allegation by Patriot Majority USA against the Indiana State Police is completely false. In fact, it is clear from evidence documented to date that we have uncovered intentional acts of fraud by representatives of Patriot Majority USA,” said Captain David Bursten, Chief Public Information Office for the Indiana State Police. “The Indiana State Police is charged with enforcing the laws of the state of Indiana and we are determined to protect the integrity of the election and every citizen’s right to vote.” In late August, Hendricks County Voter Registration Officials received voter application forms that appeared to be fraudulent or forged and they contacted the Indiana State Police. Per standard protocol, the ISP then made a courtesy notification to the Indiana Secretary of State’s office that it had initiated an investigation that has since expanded to 56 Indiana counties. The investigation expanded from nine counties Oct. 4, to a total of 56 Indiana counties as of Oct. 6. Hamilton County was added to the list of county’s with possible fraudulent registrations Oct. 4, after a single altered voter registration card was turned in to Hamilton County election officials. Kathy Richardson, Elections administrator, said a woman received a voter registration information card, and noticed her first name had been changed. She turned the card into the voter registration office, and it was turned over to the state police. Important points related to this ongoing investigation include: • The possible fraudulent or false Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, “My dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, calls it a poem and they give him $50.” The second boy says, “That’s nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper. He calls it a song and they give him $100.” The third boy says, “I got you both beat.

Winners of the essay contest, along with their classmates, will be invited to read their essays during the ceremony. Although it’s been many years since I was a young school girl, if I were to write about Indiana’s bicentennial for this contest, I would share my story about the great time we had on Thursday as the Bicentennial torch made its way through Hamilton County: As Indiana reaches a milestone birthday this year, I had the opportunity to travel on a trolley with some of the selected torchbearers on the route through Hamilton County, including Scott Schmelzer, one of Jim HCAA offers artists free exhibition The Times The Hamilton County Artists’ Association is offering local artists the opportunity to display their work in a public venue during November.

It was great to visit with Scott, his mother Andrea, and Georgeanne Neal, Jim's wife. While we waited, we got to catch up on what I endearingly call "Old Noblesville" folks (I am one so I can say it). This was a great moment for me and one I will always treasurer. My next stop, we picked up two more torchbears at Noble Crossing Elementary, Ruth Hall Lusher and Barb Brockhoff. Our travels took us to Conner Prairie where Ellen Huckabee, Bill Kenley, Terry Anker, Cynthia Baker and Glenn Toren took the torch through the best area to experience Hamilton County's history and one of the best museums in the country. Back on the trolley, we continued our path with torchbearers Sarah Dem- mon and Marisa Walker as we headed to New Britton Elementary. This was one of my favorite stops because a larger group of New Britton students, parents and grandparents gathered to send off torchbearer Santiago Jaramillo, who departed in one of the sponsor cars. For me, the next step was to meet up with a group of Hamilton County elected officials who had gathered to escort the torch from Fishers back to Noblesville. Once we arrived, we walked with the two final torchbearers, Stan Renner and David Heighway, as we approached the final destination for the torch in Hamilton County on the North steps of the Courthouse. A great crowd had gathered to enjoy the festivities and listen to the Hunter Smith Band along with comments from Mayor John Ditslear, Congresswoman Susan Brooks, County Commissioner Steve Dillinger and torchbearers Michelle Corrao and David Heighway. The next stop for the torch was Madison and Hancock counties on Friday and then its final stop was the Statehouse on Saturday. It was a great day for Hamilton County and a great day for the state of Indiana. I am so glad I could be a part of it. Good luck to all students participating in the essay contest and happy 200th birthday, Indiana!

Noblesville shuts out Marion to claim Regional title By Conner Mills [email protected] The Noblesville girls’ soccer shut out Marion 3-0, in the Logansport Regional final. Saturday was the picture perfect day for girls’ soccer. Noblesville came into the game on a bit of a hot streak, after a slow start to the year the Millers are proving to be a tough team to beat in October. The first half was a defensive duel by both teams. While Noblesville was able to take more shots on goal, possession was virtually even between the two squads. With three minutes left in the first half, Maddie Rauch missed a free kick just off to the right to keep the game tied with no score. Starting in the second half, the Millers seemed to have an energy advantage over the Giants. With 25:11 remaining, Taylor Crowe was able to penetrate the box and deliver the ball to fellow senior Laney Reister for the first goal of the contest. Shortly after the Millers Ashlyn Morefield headed a corner kick in to pad the lead with 17 minutes to play. Noblesville’s momentum helped them keep possession for the majority of the half. In addition to controlling the ball, Noblesville was able to put 14 shots on goal compared to only 2 from Marion. The final dagger in the game was Maddie Rauch’s fast break score with 2 minutes left to reach the games final score of 3-0. Noblesville will look to continue their strong play next Saturday when they take on the undefeated Penn Kingsmen. Penn won their two regional games by a wide margin of 16 to 1. The Semi-State game will be played in Warsaw Saturday. Head coach Mike Brady gave his response regarding to meeting expectations for his team. “I don't think about expectations, I just try to think about the next game and I think it will be Penn, a team we lost to earlier on in the season. We’re just excited to get an opportunity to play them again.” IHSAA Girls Cross Country Regional 10 at Chinquapin Ridge, Noblesville 1. Noblesville 61 3Abi Little 18:18.49 The Times photo by John O. Marlow The pack or runners in the 2016 IHSAA Boys Cross Country Regional nears the 1600 meter mark. Millers’ lady harriers surprise field, boys advance two By John O. Marlowe [email protected] The Noblesville Lady Millers broke through the pack of ranked teams competing at Chinquapin Ridge course, here Saturday, and nabbed a surprising IHSAA State Cross Country Tournament Regional 10 victory. Under a light overcast sky, the Millers used Abi Little’s third place finish in a time of 18:18.49 to claim the podium spot, and placed five other runners in the top twenty. The Millers edged the No. 1 Carmel Lady Greyhounds by six slim points. But the win wasn’t a surprise to everyone. “We weren’t shocked,” said elated Noblesville head coach Dennis Scheele. “We’ve been strong for years. We train hard. We have some fun. And we have some talent — the whole county does. Out biggest thing is to reach our full potential, and today the ladies rose to the occasion.” The Millers had to overcome a 1-2 finish from Carmel’s top two runners Sarah Leinheiser (17:37) and Christina Geisler (17:53), and another top ten finisher in Izza Khurram (18:49). They did so by wedging five Miller runners in the top twenty, eight spots before the next Greyhounds runner could cross. “I think we had an off day,” said Carmel head coach Mark Ellington. “Sarah and Christina ran solid races, what we expect from them. Izza was just fabulous! The other four on our team just kinda ran an average race. We were just kind of average today.” Fishers, Guerin Catholic and Westfield each advanced their girls’ squads to the next round. Three Hamilton Southeastern runners will compete as individuals. HSE’s Fendel Leads Boys Regional Gabe Fendel continued his run of top finishes, by outdistancing the field for Hamilton Southeastern in the Boys competition. His first place finish led HSE to a second spot finish behind Carmel. In fact, with four of the top five teams in the last state polls competing at Noblesville, Regional 10’s top four finishers almost mirrored the state rankings. Carmel at No. 2 in the polls won the event, Hamilton Southeastern (#3) was second, followed by Fishers (#5) and Brebeuf Jesuit (#4). “A lot of the best teams are here, and we know that going in,” said Carmel head coach Colin Altevogt. “We know it will be a tight race, and a lot of the positions will be decided in the last two minutes of the race.” On the tight Chinquapin course, navigating the congestion of runners proved essential. “I think our guys did a good job of getting themselves into position early,” said Altevogt, “then held that position for the remainder of the race. Our depth is our strength.” Noblesville, who didn’t run well last week according to head coach Kent Graham, had seven runners in the field, but competed only as individuals. The Millers did advance two runners, however. Eric Hoffman clocked a 15:33, and Levi Neuzerling was timed at 15:57. “This is a much better day than last week,” said Graham. “Both runners that advanced are seniors, and I’m excited for them. The other five runners are underclassmen, and they needed the experience in this race to show them what it is like. That’s something to build on for the future.” Fishers also advanced their boys’ team to further competition in the tournament. With the field full of state ranked teams, disappointment was common for talented squads. Westfield failed to advance the boys’ team, and Hamilton Southeastern was left behind on the girls’ side. State tournament competition moves to Shelbyville next week, where the five advancing teams and 10 individual runners will compete in the Semistate to move on to the finals at LaVern Gibson in Terre Haute. Guerin falls in Soccer Regional final By Rob Borders [email protected] CARMEL – No. 6 Zionsville, check. No. 3 Carmel, check. No. 2 Avon, check. Those are the teams the unranked Guerin Catholic girls' soccer team defeated in tournament play to reach Saturday's regional final against defending state champion and No. 4 Brebeuf at Carmel. The fortunes of victory for the Golden Eagles came to a halt in a 2-0 loss to the Braves. Brebeuf's goals came in the second half of a defensive battle, with both goals coming from senior midfielder Alia Martin. One on a penalty kick, and the other on a lone fast break she took in all by herself. "Sometimes the balls just don't bounce your way," McClure said. "Everyone one of our girls played her heart out today. I am very excited about the future of Guerin Girls' soccer." The loss wasn't what was on Guerin Head Coach Jonathan McClure's mind - it was what his team did to get to that point in a tough Sectional 17, that includes a flurry of the team's top 5 teams. "Turning it on in the tournament and playing the way we did to get to this championship is what it is all about," McClure said. "Having to get through Zionsville, Carmel and Avon, and then having to face Brebeuf. That says a lot about how tough Sectional 17 is, and it shows the heart our girls have shown." 11 Sophie Reichard 18:59.42 12Susanna Sharples-Gor 19:01.29 16Aubrie Deal 10;05.00 19Abbie Klinker 19:11.38 20Kat Dombroski 19:16.66 38Katherine Sandys 19:54.90 2.

Head lice are white and about the size of a sesame seed. They are known as "obligate ectoparasites." Obligate means they require a placental mammal host to survive (i.e. humans) and ectoparasites means they live outside the human body. They must feed on the host’s blood to survice and can't live off of a body for more than a day or so. Lice are spread by direct contact of a person's head or hair with an infested individual or through sharing personal items such as hats, towels, brushes, helmets, hair ties or even car seat headrests. They do not jump or fly and are not transmitted by pets. Adult lice survive on a person for about one to three months. A female louse lays about three to five eggs, known as "nits," each day and glues them to the hair shafts of the host, close JOHN R. ROBERTS, M.D. Hamilton Health to the scalp. The eggs require the warmth of the scalp to incubate. A louse may lay up to 300 eggs in her adult life. The eggs take about ten days to hatch and the new lice need an immediate blood meal to survive. They then take another seven to ten days to mature to the point they can start laying eggs. Lice typically are not harmful to their human host. There is recent evidence that the head louse is genetically identical to the body louse that is known to carry the organisms causing typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever. There is some concern that as lice become more resistant to chemical treatments that they will become more prone to spreading disease, but this is currently not a concern in the U.S. Screening someone's head for lice requires a bright light and a very good lice comb. Most experts recommend using the LiceMeister comb that is made specifically to get close to the hair shafts. Lice typically like to live around the neck or backs of the ears. Since they require warmth to incubate, the nits are typically less than one centimeter from the base of the hairs. Dandruff, hair spray residue and dust can be mistaken for lice. Treatment of lice requires a lot of patience. There really is no substitute for manual removal using meticulous combing with a lice comb. The parent(s) must take the time to properly comb out every strand of hair to remove the lice and nits. It's generally recommended to comb every three days for a couple of weeks. Re-infestations are usually the result of improper removal of lice and nits. Chemical treatments kills live lice, but not the eggs. The treatments therefore have to be repeated in seven to ten days to kill lice after they hatch. Chemical treatments come in two varieties: insecticides and those that suffocate the lice. Insecticides are not benign. They should be used with caution in those with asthma, seizures, brain tumors, cancer, HIV and pregnant or nursing mothers. The most commonly used insecticides are permethrin, pyrethrin and malathion. Unfortunately lice have increasingly built up resistance to these agents. Spinosad was approved in 2011 and remains very effec- tive. Some providers prescribe a pill called ivermectin that is not FDA approved for the treatment of lice, but is very effective. Benzyl alcohol lotion is the most commonly used suffocation agent that plugs up the breathing pores of the lice. Cetaphil skin cleanser can also be applied to every strand of dry hair, the excess combed out and then dried with a hair dryer and washed out eight hours later. The treatment needs to be repeated at seven day intervals a total of three times. As far as treatment of a person's environment, most evidence points to proper treatment of the lice on the person, not their environment. Vacuuming is the best way to remove fallen hairs with attached nits from furniture, rugs, stuffed animals or car seats. Bagging stuffed animals is not necessary, but they, along with other linens, hats, etc. can be run through a hot clothes dryer for 30 minutes to kill lice and nits. Pesticide sprays do much more harm than good and are not recommended. Family members or other people who live in close contact with an infested person should be screened using the LiceMeister comb. Schools have discontinued "no nit" policies due to the very limited risk of transmission in the school setting and to curtail unnecessary missed class time for infestations that are much more of a nuisance than a health threat. The best resource I have found for up to date lice information is the National Pediculosis Association at www. headlice.org. Happy hunting! Dr. John Roberts is a local physician.

Auditor’s answers often asked questions Have you ever asked how was I supposed to know? If you are unaware, the Auditor’s office maintains property tax deductions, transfers, GIS mapping, and much more. Taxpayers visit our office daily to file their property tax deductions. From new homeowners to seasoned taxpayers, the question frequently arises, “How was I supposed to know?” We aren’t sure how to best answer that question. We try to tackle it with grace and provide the best guidance for each unique circumstance. “Know what?” you may ask. Know the GUEST COLUMN following: • You need to refile all applicable deductions after you change your deed or even when you get married. • After you refinance your mortgage, you need to update your mortgage deduction. • Individuals and married couples are limited to one standard homestead deduction. • If you are no longer using your home as your principal place of residence, you must request in writing to the County Auditor’s office, that the homestead deduction be removed 60 days from the date of change in use. • The deadline for filing property tax deductions is Dec. 31. • Being eligible for a deduction does not mean you receive the deduction. You must validly and timely apply for the deduction with the Auditor’s office. • No deduction filing is retroactive. • The standard homestead deduction is a privilege, not an entitlement. You must meet all eligibility requirements and properly apply in order to receive the deduction. There is a lot to know, and in certain circumstances, not knowing is a costly mistake. Our goal is to educate taxpayers and those in the real estate industry. In the past year, we have provided several informative seminars for various local real estate offices and title companies. We hope to educate those who are on the forefront of a real estate transaction, with the intent of providing the best information to the taxpayer. The information has been well-received and proven to be quite helpful. In addition to educating the real estate Industry, we are reaching out to taxpayers to help bridge the informational gap and try to avoid the “How was I supposed to know?” circumstances. In the coming months, we will provide announcements relating to property tax deduction knowledge and more helpful content. Please “like” the Hamilton County Facebook page where we maintain informational articles. Our county website, www. hamiltoncounty.in.gov, hosts a vast amount of revealing information. To navigate to the Auditor’s page, choose ‘De- partments,’ then under ‘Finances & Real Estate,’ select ‘Auditor’s Office.’ For a full list of property tax deductions, select ‘Property Tax Deductions and Credits”.
