The Noblesville Common Councilapproved the agreement with Klipsch-CardAthletic Facilities LLC to build the Nobles-ville Fieldhouse at Finch Creek Park duringits December 20 meeting Initial plans forthe $15 million 130000-square-foot youthsports facility were announced on November29

ldquoThis is an exciting day for the City ofNoblesville I appreciate the vision of theNoblesville Common Council members toaddress a need that benefits ourcommunityrsquos youth sports clubs and thepositive impact this project will have for our

local businessesrdquo said Mayor John DitslearldquoI also want to thank our partners at Klipsch-Card Athletic Facilities LLC for workingwith us to create a state-of-the-art facilitylike the Noblesville Fieldhouse We canrsquotwait to get started on Finch Creek Park andthe Fieldhouse and what opportunities andexperiences it will bring to the east side ofour cityrdquo

Since the November 29 announcementofficials worked out a new financial deal aspart of its public-private partnership agree-ment that removes $300000 of the cityrsquosannual commitment The new terms agreed

to by both sides includebull $300000 annually in Property Tax for

20 yearsbull $250000 annually from the Corporate

Campus East TIF for 20 yearsbull Sell 10 acres of land for $500000 ndash

which is just 5 percent of the total FinchCreek Park property of 203 acres

bull Klipsch-Card is responsible for rentingfacility 100 percent of the time

ldquoRather than having the City commit toor having specific time available during theweek we would allow Klipsch-Card to have100 percent of the time available with the

guarantee that any Noblesville-basedorganizationclub501c(3) receive a 25percent discount on the rental rate of thefacility during the weekrdquo said DitslearldquoThis means there will be no revenuesharing as Klipsch-Card will capture 100percent of the revenues and the City reducesour annual commitment in the deal by$300000rdquo

This project does not provide a taxabatement Klipsch-Card is responsible forpaying all capital (construction) operating

First Responders with the Cicero Fire Department are now some of the best-equippedin the nation to save a petrsquos life Thatrsquos because Invisible Fence of the Central Indiana hasdonated one pet oxygen mask kits to the department

This donation is just a small part of Invisible Fence Brandrsquos Project Breathe programwhich was established with the goal of equipping every fire station in America and Canadawith pet oxygen masks These masks allow firefighters and EMS staff to give oxygen topets who are suffering from smoke inhalation when they are rescued from fires and oftensave petsrsquo lives

Invisible Fence Brand has donated a total of more than 12400 pet oxygen masks tofire stations all over the US and Canada throughout the life of the program A reported150+ pets have been saved by the donated masks so far two family dogs by the GrantrsquosPass Fire Department in Oregon in early October of this year

ldquoWhen a family suffers the tragedy of a fire lives are turned upside downrdquo said EdHoyt Director of Invisible Fence Brand ldquoPets are valued family members so we wantfamilies to know that their pet can be cared for if tragedy strikesrdquo

ldquoWe realize that humans are the first priority but in many cases pets can be saved iffirefighters have the right equipmentrdquo said Hoyt ldquoProject Breathe program is simply away of giving firefighters the tools necessary to save petsrsquo livesrdquo

Cicero and surrounding areas are now joining the ranks of cities like Seattle ChicagoDenver and Salt Lake City who have all received donated pet oxygen masks from ProjectBreathe program

Thank God they had the masks They (the dogs) are just like family I donrsquot knowwhat Irsquod do without them Things can be replaced Lives canrsquot whether theyrsquore animalsor people said a pet owner whose dogs were recently rescued using donated masks

Although the number of pets that die in fires is not an official statistic kept by the USFire Administration industry web sites and sources have cited an estimated 40000 to150000 pets die in fires each year most succumbing to smoke inhalation In most statesemergency responders are unequipped to deal with the crisis The loss is terrible for thefamily heart wrenching for firefighters

The company has set up a website wwwinvisiblefencecomO2 where local firepersonnel can make a request for their own departments
