Thursday, February 16, 2017 Sheridan, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield Vol. 4, No. 32 Today: Partly sunny. Tonight: Partly cloudy. TODAY’S WEATHER HIGH: 45 LOW: 33 Noblesville Parks and Recreation will open Fox Prairie Golf Course, 8465 E. 196th Street, on Friday, February 17. “With the beautiful, warm weather forecasted to come, we are excited to open Fox Prairie on Friday,” said Gary Deakyne, director of golf. “Typically, this course does not open until mid- March if weather allows so it will be unique to have golfers out on President’s Day weekend.” A mature, traditional style course that opened in 1970, Fox Prairie is a beautiful layout on a rolling parcel of land considered one of the top public facilities in Central Indiana. It features a modern clubhouse, sandwich shop, fully stocked pro shop, practice green, driving range, new carts and 27 championship holes. Fox Prairie is offering 18 holes of golf for $18 (walking) and $29 (with a cart) or 9 holes for $12 (walking) and $18 (riding). To schedule a tee time, call (317) 776-6357. At this time, Forest Park Golf Course will remain closed until the spring. Fox Prairie to open Friday Hamilton County Parks and Recreation turns 50 Pop singer Lulu’s To Sir with Love held the top spot on Billboard’s Hottest Singles chart. LBJ was in the White House. The first successful heart transplant surgery was performed, and an ATM was put into use for the very first time. The year? 1967. It was in that same year, on March 11, that Hamilton County Parks and Recreation was established. From its modest begin- ning, the county agency that owned virtu- ally no land, and comprised of a park board and only a few dedicated part-time staff, grew into today’s highly-regarded park system. As of 2017, the park department is responsible for the management of twelve (and increasing) county parks, one camp- ground, and three miles of the Monon Trail; all located on more than 1,550 acres of land throughout Hamilton County. In addition, the department provides quality nature education programming and facilities, and stages popular community events through- out the year. Hamilton County and its park depart- ment have experienced significant change and growth since 1967. One constant has remained in that fifty year span of time - the tireless dedication of a park staff committed to providing county residents and visitors the very best in recreation and nature edu- cation! In recognition of the department’s his- toric milestone, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation is launching its celebratory theme - The Big 5-Oh! Look for this graphic theme to appear throughout county parks and in our community all year long. As exciting and rewarding as the past six decades have been, the park staff is even more excited about all that the future holds for Hamilton County Parks. Your Help is Needed in Celebrating The Big 5-Oh As part of the anniversary celebration, Hamilton County Parks will be sharing, in print and online, photos captured and memories made in its parksover the last fifty years. If you have photograph, icons or park-related stories to share, please email them to [email protected] or drop them off at the department’s Administrative Office located at 15513 S. Union Street, Carmel, IN 46033. If you have any questions about this request, or would like to know more about how the items might be used, please call 317-770-4400. The fourth annual Devour Noblesville promotion, a downtown dining event promoted by Noblesville Main Street, kicks off Friday, February 17, and runs through Thursday, February 23. Downtown Noblesville restaurants featured in this year’s event include: Barley Island Brewing Company, Courtney’s Kitchen, Ginger’s Café, The Hamilton Restaurant, Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano, Subway, Syd’s Bar and Grill, Noble Coffee & Tea and The Ville Restaurant. Some Devour Noblesville featured dining specials can be found at noblesvillemainstreet.org and Facebook and others on-site at each participating location. Participants are encouraged to share their Devour Noblesville pictures on social media using the hashtag #devournoblesville. “Downtown Noblesville is a vibrant, “hipstoric” place to be. We have great dining locations and hope our residents and visitors will support many of these local businesses by dining downtown during this event,” said Chris Owens, CEO of Noblesville Main Street. Fourth annual Devour Noblesville After months of outreach to individual business owners and community members, the City of Carmel is preparing to unveil more detailed drawings and plans for this year’s launch of the two-year 96th Street Corridor Improvement Project, scheduled to get underway this spring. The City will be transforming traffic flow and improving access to businesses along this busy corridor from White River to Keystone Parkway, focusing on five intersections in 2017, with substantial completion by the end of 2018. “We are being proactive in getting the word out about this exciting project that will better serve motorists traveling to and from Fishers and Indianapolis. Similar to the efforts made when we upgraded Keystone Parkway several years ago, we have focused our efforts on making sure our local business owners are prepared for the upcoming construction,” said Mayor Jim Brainard. “Since Hamilton County built the bridge over White River, traffic has continued to grow along this corridor, which is home to a number of car dealerships and businesses. Our experience has shown that by replacing these congested intersections with roundabouts, we will make this corridor safer and easier to use, especially for commuters.” The City plans to meet again with groups of local car dealers, restaurants and other businesses over the next few weeks to continue the outreach with the new updated plans. Neighborhood group meetings are also being scheduled for residents who live in the vicinity and will be impacted by construction. The most updated information available to the public is already posted on the Carmel Link 2.0 website, which is the home for all information regarding to Carmel’s road construction projects. Motorists can also download the Carmel Link 2.0 Mobile App for instant updates on your phones and devices. Although 96th Street is shared by both the City of Carmel and the City of Indianapolis, state law requires that Cities on the north side of such common roadways handle all matters of construction, reconstruction, improvements and maintenance. An estimated average of 85,000 vehicles use 96th Street and Keystone Parkway each day with traffic studies indicating that number will increase dramatically over the next 5-10 years. The list of corridor projects will serve commuters, shoppers and visitors by considerably reducing congestion along the 5-lane corridor across the southern border of Carmel. The cost of the corridor projects Carmel prepares businesses, community for 96th Street project Early morning fire in Fishers injures one Fishers firefighters responded to 13164 Highland Springs Drive for a residence fire Wednesday morning at 4:32 a.m. Fire Investigators determined the cause of the fire was an unattended candle which caught bedding on fire, in a bonus room above the garage. One occupant was transported with serious injuries to Eskenazi Hospital. A second had minor injuries and four additional occupants were able to escape the house without injury. Fire official credited the owner of the residence for performing a very important task prior to exiting the home, and that was to shut the door to the room that was on fire. This action kept the fire from spreading to the rest of the house until firefighters were able to get on the scene and extinguish the blaze Firefighters encourage residents not to use candles, but if you choose to do so, never leave unattended or burning while sleeping Thirty-three firefighters were on the scene and had control the fire in 25 minutes. Firefighters were assisted by Fishers Police Department to control traffic around streets blocked by hose.
