Federal Hill Commons event parking requestThe REPORTER

The City of Noblesville and Nobles-ville Main Street are asking patrons to be mindful of where they park when at-tending events at Federal Hill Commons. Since the park’s grand opening on May 13, officials have noticed that nearby pri-vate parking lots are being used instead of larger public lots.

“We want to encourage people to use the Riverview Health overflow lot direct-ly across from Federal Hill Commons so normal business operations can contin-ue in the private parking lots around the park. A police officer is stationed at the intersection of Conner Street and Indiana 19 to assist pedestrians in crossing,” said Noblesville Parks Director Brandon Ben-nett. “We appreciate our neighbors being understanding, but we want to make sure we are not intruding on their businesses during events because there is plenty of parking opportunities in public spaces.”

To ensure patrons have the opportu-nity to park and shop at those businesses, “No Event Parking” signs will be placed at the entrances to the private parking lot north of Logan Street (which includes Kroger) starting today.

“Demand for the Farmers Market has steadily increased each of the last three years. Seeing attendance at an all-time high, we’ve been monitoring traffic with staff from Noblesville Parks and the No-blesville Police Department,” said Chris Owens, chief executive officer of No-blesville Main Street. “All three of our

Westfield mayor dons yellow tie for tonight’s youth fundraiser

Cook

The REPORTERMayor Andy Cook will host the West-

field Mayor’s Yellow Tie Ball this evening in Westfield. The annual event began 10 years ago, and has served as a fundraising opportunity for the Westfield Youth Assis-tance Program (WYAP) for the last eight years.

“As a community we can do all kinds of great things, like building roads and trails, bringing jobs and continuing the growth of Grand Park,” Mayor Cook said. “But none of that means anything if we don’t support the most valuable asset we have here in Westfield: our kids.”

The sold-out event will feature personal testimony from indi-viduals involved with WYAP to highlight the success the pro-gram has had with Westfield’s youth.

Developed as a pi-lot program in 2009, the Westfield Youth Assistance Program has since grown to in-clude other communities including Carm-el, Fishers, Hamilton Heights, Noblesville and Sheridan.

The REPORTERAttorney General Curtis Hill is warn-

ing Hoosiers not to fall for deceptive pro-motions implying that individual Indiana citizens may receive payments under the terms of the Tobacco Master Settlement.

In fact, the Indiana legislature directs the use of those settlement funds for state agencies — and none of the money goes to individual payments.

Specifically, Hoosiers should beware a pitch inviting them to sign up for such payments through Money Map Press. This online promotion attempts to entice Hoo-siers by indicating they could be eligible to receive cash under terms of the settlement. In reality, once consumers agree to pay for more information, the sponsors of the pro-motion simply provide them information about tobacco revenue bonds.

The website asks for consumers’ bill-ing and payment information to subscribe to a monthly report in order to gain more

information. After consumers enter their information, they are billed $5 for the first month of the subscription and then an ad-ditional $99 as a yearly subscription fee.

The Office of the Indiana Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division (CPD) encourages individuals to avoid signing up for this subscription — which may prove difficult to cancel once the subscriber has entered his or her billing information. As always, the CPD reminds Hoosiers to make sure the websites they are using are legitimate and credible sites. Residents should be especially wary when-ever prompted to sign up for any sort of subscriber list that may request personal and sensitive information.

Hoosiers are encouraged to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Of-fice of the Indiana Attorney General if they believe they have been scammed. You can reach the CPD by visiting IndianaCon-sumer.com or calling 1-800-382-5516.

Valedictorian speaks out

Editor’s note: this letter was originally posted on Facebook in response to a col-umn entitled, “The Last Valedictorian,” published in The Reporter on June 9. That column is available on our website, www.ReadTheReporter.com in the “Opinion” section and on our Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/HamiltonCountyReporter. The letter is printed here with permission.

Chris Roberts was not only valedicto-rian of the Sheridan High School class of 2016, but was an outstanding student ath-lete. He is currently a biochemistry student and research assistant at Purdue University.

Dear Editor:I was Valedictorian of my school last

year (2016) and I can confidently say that I worked my butt off for four years to achieve that honor. One screw up and my dream of being Valedictorian would have been unachievable.

I know there are other kids out there that have the same dream as I did and I know they will work as hard as they can to achieve their dream. To take this honor away from them is to take away years of hard work and effort.

Sure, you can say the top kids will still be honored but that's not the same as being "the valedictorian" or "the sa-lutatorian." The excuse of saying the numbers are too high or the competition is too much is an EXCUSE.

Another argument against this is that kids "pad their schedules" with all AP/duel credit classes strictly to get GPA boost and they can't take classes of their own interest. I was a student that had

a schedule full of these classes not to boost my GPA, but to give me college credit! The true pur-pose of AP classes! Taking these class-es have put me at a huge advantage in college, to the point where I can gradu-ate a year early!

To the people who want to take less college courses there is a price to pay and that is in your GPA.

My last point is that there are kids out there who may not be an All-State basketball player and academics are the only thing they have. If you take away the honor for the academic kids you must take away all the other top hon-ors of the school like all-state football/basketball, top music chair, perfect at-tendance, etc.

This is an old tradition that many people, like myself, strive to achieve, therefore to take away this honor is to take away the dreams and aspirations of that hard-working kid who just wanted to be recognized for his intellect and ef-fort.

I say this with the utmost respect for those who may think differently and I ask you to consider my thoughts on this matter.

Reader calls for presidential respect

Dear Editor:It’s time to stop the verbal hate re-

marks toward our president, his family and his administration. It’s time to stop the hate rallies in cities by people who oppose the election of our current pres-ident.

The constant acceptable hate rhet-oric thrown at the American people by newspaper columnists, the internet news and televised networks resulted in Kathy Griffin’s horrific act against our president and Reality Winner’s act of treason toward our country.

During the 2016 campaign incivil-

ity raised its head with name calling and flame throwing. Media columnists constantly blasted Trump with hateful rhetoric but ignored the acts of treason by Hillary Clinton making American citizens angry with the show of elitist protection from the law.

Our media and people who hate our president and his administration are to blame for the continuing acceptable bad mouthing and violence. They hold the blame for the recent shooting at a ball-park in Virginia.

Six signs it’s time to quit your 9-to-5 desk jobStatePoint

A growing number of workers are moving away from typical 9-to-5 desk jobs and are reaping the benefits of being their own bosses or becoming independent con-tractors. How do you know if that lifestyle is for you?

Here are six reasons you may not be meant to be stuck at your desk for eight hours a day.

1. You enjoy working flexible hours. While most traditional jobs have specific hours, being an independent contractor means you get to set your own schedule. Whether you use your free time to spend time with family, enjoy favorite hobbies, hit the gym or travel the world, setting your own hours means greater flexibility where work/life balance is concerned. Plus, if you have a home office, you can also kiss that commute goodbye, giving you more time to work and play.

2. You want the ability to work wher-ever you want. Not everyone relishes watercooler talk. If four walls have you down, traditional office culture may not be for you. Whether it’s the beach, a café, or your couch, skip the chitchat and other office distractions and set up shop in what-ever location inspires you to do your best work.

3. You like having uncapped potential

for growth and salary. Even for those ac-customed to annual raises, most traditional jobs come with limits to career growth and salary potential. Rather than being at the mercy of such salary caps, consider con-tracting positions with opportunities for swift, exponential growth.

4. You want to be your own boss and set your own goals. Being a traditional employee often means meeting someone else’s benchmarks. Being an independent contractor means setting your own goals and defining your own success.

5. You like having extra cash on hand to enjoy life. Vacations, cars, gadgets – the higher your earning potential, the more money you will have to spend on all of life’s little extras.

6. You desire a career that challenges and motivates you. Many jobs can seem like drudgery. For a self-starter wanting to be challenged and motivated, forging one’s own path can be much more fulfilling.

For all these reasons, many people are seeking opportunities that give them great-er control of their hours and earnings, from starting a new business from scratch, to working with national brands as consul-tants and sales representatives.

If you are looking for an opportunity with the potential for growth, it may be time to start your own business.
