Sheridan, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield HIGH: 80 LOW: 62

By FRED SWIFTOne of Hamilton County's oldest and

largest families is thesubject of a uniqueproject by volunteerhistorian KatherineDill. She is tracing theSilas Moffitt familythrough its 192 yearsin this county. Kather-ine is not a Moffittdescendant, she camefrom Vincennes, Indi-ana. But, her current

home is located on former Moffitt property.She is young, energetic and crazy abouthistory.

In 1823 Silas and Hannah Moffitt camefrom North Carolina and settled on the westbank of White River in what is now Clay

Township. On the east bank of the riverWilliam Conner was making a name ofhimself as a trader, politician and land spec-ulator. There were no other settlers in thearea, but that was about to change as pio-neers surged into Hamilton County in the1820s and 30s.

Ms. Dill, former director of the CarmelClay Historical Society, thought an interest-ing project and historical exhibit wouldinvolve tracing the Moffitt family down tothe living descendants. Her work has turnedup about 750 members of the clan essential-ly started by Silas and Hannah. Many fromthe Moffitt line live in the area and manymore are yet to be located.

Last Friday night the Moffitt Exhibitopened at the Monon Depot Museum withdozens of the Moffitt clan attending. Theyfound a 50 foot family tree (actually a hori-

zontal chart) in which the Moffitts are alllisted by generation, some with photos.Elsewhere in the museum are pictures andpersonal effects on loan from family mem-bers.

The work is not complete, Ms. Dill con-tinues to search for Moffitts with the vari-ous surnames that have come  aboutthrough generations of marriages to otherCarmel area families like Hinshaw, Myers,Pursel, Williamson, Morgan and many oth-ers.

In August the entire clan will be invitedto a "reunion" at River Heritage Park whichborders the 190 year old home of Silas andHannah, still standing along River Roadnorth of 116th Street. Some of the distantMoffitt cousins are just now learning theyare related thanks of Ms. Dill's work.

As if this project was not enough, Dill isalso working to preserve  anotherhistoric site in the area. The former Wilkin-

By JANET HART LEONARDIt's about the dog-eared pages of

books. It's aboutthe feel of thecrisp or well wornpages. It's theidea of seeinghow much moreyou have to readuntil you get tothe end.

I love a real"hands on the pa-per pages" feeling

of books. I have tried to read a book onmy iPad. I have seen the fancy Kindlesand Nooks. I just like the real thing.

I have to have a book with me.  llove the places that books take me. Itruly fell in love with reading in Mr.Purvis's literature class in junior high.We read the classics. HuckleberryFinn. The Old Man and the Sea. To KillA Mockingbird. We dissected them. Ifound it fascinating.

At least every couple of weeksChuck and I can be found in the No-blesville Public Library. He patientlywaits while I meander through the fic-tion. He has his "go to" favorite mys-tery and history writers. I have a hodgepodge of my "gotta read" drama andromance writers. Then we go home andhave ESPN or the Golf channel as ourbackground noise as we read. Ofcourse we also indulge in a glass ofsweet tea.

This week I am reading the secondnovel in less than a month of a newwriter that I have discovered. LianeMoriarity. If you want to read any ofher books...get in line. There is a wait-ing list.

REPORTER TAKING A HOLIDAYThe Hamilton County Reporter will not publish on Sunday, July 5, so its staff can

enjoy the Fourth of July holiday.We will resume our normal publication schedule with our print and online editions

By DON JELLISONReporter EditorA very special group of farmers ap-

peared before the Hamilton County Councilearlier this week to share what is happeningin agriculture in the county here in 2015.

Headed by John Hiatt, the group repre-sents the Hamilton County Farm Bureau.

What they shared was interesting andsome likely was surprising to many Hamil-ton County residents, especially those liv-ing south of 146th Street where pigs and

cattle, and even crop land, is something inthe past.

For example, it might be surprising foryou folks who live in Carmel and Fishersand perhaps even Noblesville and Westfieldto be informed that 52 percent of land inHamilton County still is in farmland.

That number, of course, might changein a day or two, looking to more hugehousing areas.

According to statistics, the populationin Hamilton County in 2013 was 296,693.The total land area was 252,333 acres andtotal land in farms was 130,854.

The number of farms in the county in2013 was 594.

There was a total 120,899 croplandacres; 7,574 pasture and woodland; 61,000acres in corn with 174 bushels an acre incorn.

Hamilton County had 65,000 acres insoybeans, yielding 51 bushels an acre.

Wheat acres was 2,500, yielding 66bushels an acre.

In the 2013-14 time period there were2,300 head of cattle in Hamilton County,

News 2

When reading a mystery novel from thelibrary, I find it interesting where pages aredog-earred. It's never where there is themost suspense. Every reader has to know,as soon as possible, who committed themurder, what will be the decision or wherewill the characters end up? When I reallyget into a book, I stay up way too late. I sitin the car on my lunch hour, under a shadetree. I consume the words and thoughts likethat of a starved food critic. Charactersbecome part of my life even for just a fewdays unless the book is part of a series thenI wait with anxious anticipation for the nextnovel. Kind of like waiting for the nextfamily reunion.

What is the writer trying to say? Aretheir thoughts from personal experience?What would I do if I was in their circum-stance? Can I relate?

I have books that I have passed on tofriends and then they are passed on to theirfriends. I often purchase a non-fiction bookso I can highlight and write in it. Some

books are like old friends. I revisit them onoccasion.

I remember as a child going into thebasement of the old library where city hallnow stands. I remember the smell of the oldbooks. I even remember the table that helda stereoscope and old pictures. Anotherremembrance is the rubber stamps thatstamped the date in the little rectangle in thefront of the book. Card catalogs organizedthe entire library. It was the old fashionedway but it holds such good memories.Packed away in those drawers were lessonslearned and stories that years later, stilltouch my heart.

I have taken my grandmunchkins to thelibrary since they were toddlers. Nine yearold Jake is probably my most voraciousreader. If he is not on the ball field then hehas his nose in a book.

I believe one of the greatest gifts youcan give a child is a library card. A childwho loves to read will never be bored.

I can't wait to get home from vacationnext week and get Susan Crandall's new

book that will be released on Tuesday July7th. A Flying Circus. Susie and I have beenfriends since kindergarten. She has a truegift with how she tells a story. You findyourself right there with each character asthe story progresses.

Speaking of telling a story. If you live inNoblesville, grew up in Noblesville or lovea great book about history with a little ro-mance thrown in then you need to read KurtMeyer's book titled...Noblesville. Kurtholds your attention with the story as wellas giving you a tour of old Noblesville.Trust me, it is fascinating.

Once upon a time a column is writtenand when this writer has said all she has tosay she hopes she sends her readers cravingan escape from the tv, the iPad, videogames and noise. She hopes you grab asweet tea and a book and you enjoy a littleold fashioned reading. Oh the places youwill go but you have to leave the electronicsbehind.

The average cost to plant an acre of cornwas $709 and the average cost to plant anacre of soybean was $474. Both of thosenumbers were last reported in 2013.

Estimated property tax paid by farmerswas $5,744,252.

The Farm Bureau folks also talkedabout the agriculture changing in HamiltonCounty, explaining why the long-time grainterminal on south 9th Street in Noblesville iscoming down.

Farming has moved north and access toland at the grain terminal is hard for largesemi trucks.

Also, many larger farmers now havetheir own grain storage.

The Farm Bureau pointed to reasons theorganization is so important today.

*Caring and using the productive landto sustain farm families and landowners.

*Supporting schools and county servic-es through property taxes and personal in-come.

*Maintaining a rural lifestyle and land-scape.

Interesting night at the Hamilton Coun-ty Common Council.

By MARY SUE ROWLANDThe annual Sister Cities student ex-

change will be held inNoblesville this sum-mer when six Italianand four Brazilian stu-dents arrive on Thurs-day July 9th.Traveling with thestudents in addition tochaperones will be theMayor of Cittadella,Italy Giuseppe Panand Sister Cities Bra-

zil President Mr. Pandolfo, Brazil Councilmember Hermes Stomoski and Brazil rep-resentative Roberta Pegoraro. Foundingmember of the Noblesville, Cittadella andNova Prata Sister Cities connection, BrunoZoppe will also be part of the visitation.Noblesville students visited Cittadella, Italyin 2008, 2011 and 2014 and Nova Prada in2010 and 2012 and will travel to Brazil in2016. The Sister Cities friendship began in1996 with the link of Noblesville to Nova

Prata, Brazil. Nova Prata is the southern-most state of Rio Grande du Sol. Since 85%of Nova Prata has an Italian heritage incommon, the effort was made to form aTri-Lateral Agreement with Nova Prata andCittadella, Italy and Noblesville. Cittadellais a walled city in the Veneto region ofItaly. The Tri-Lateral Agreement wassealed by the mayors of the three cities inJuly of 2006.

Each summer student ambassadorsfrom the three cities visit one of the Tri-Lateral Communities. This year Noblesvillehas the honor of hosting the two other coun-tries in home stays with ample hoosier hos-pitality extended. Money to support theexchange is raised by the local Sister Citiesgroup through grants, charitable events andgenerous donation.

Adding in home stays, committeehours and hours of planning and more, theevent is priceless.

Accomplishing a mission to promotepeace through mutual respect, understand-ing and cooperation is the goal of the Inter-national exchange. Sister CitiesInternational, based in Washington D.Cwas founded in 1956. Currently, there areclose to 760 U.S. cities linked with 2,300foreign cities in 137 countries around theword.

The three cities have agreed on threethings they would do together: 1) Youthexchange every July, alternating the hostcity and placing youth and chaperones inprivate homes for the 10 day stay, 2) Eco-nomic development and 3) Tourism be-tween the three cities.

By LEANN WILSON“There is a way that seemeth right unto

a man, but the end thereof are the ways ofdeath” Prov 16:25 (KJV).

And the serpent said unto the woman,“Yea, hath God said,Ye shall not eat of ev-ery tree of the garden?And the woman saidunto the serpent, Wemay eat of the fruit ofthe trees of the garden:But of the fruit of thetree which is in themidst of the garden,God hath said, Yeshall not eat of it, nei-

ther shall ye touch it, lest ye die” Gen 3:1-3(KJV). When Eve partook of the forbiddenfruit in the garden her actions signifiedagreement with the evil one that God reallydidn’t say what God had said. It seemedgood, the fruit was good for food, it enlight-ened the mind and opened the eyes but whatwas harvested and sown into the soul wasseeds of doubt and fruits of shame. The evilone had assured Eve of transformation andevolution - “ye shall be as gods” (Gen 3:5).But the true result was as God had ordained,judgement fell from the throne and man fellinto a state of depravity apart from the graceof God.

Over the course of time man hascontinued to take the way which seemethright unto man and the court of man hasdecided that they within themselves aretheir own gods. On the thrones of their ownhearts they are, in their own eyes, wiserthan (or at least as wise as) the LORD whohath made heaven and the heaven of heav-ens with all their host. Wiser than theLORD who has made the earth and allthings that are therein, wiser than He whopreservest them all (Neh 9:6)! It is by delib-erate decision we decide to live indepen-dent of God but any decision to live outfrom under the wing of God in no waychanges the sovereignty of God or Hisprovidential plan. His mercy and justice

will be administered as He has ordained.Polite and impolite society will continue inattempts to impose its will and wisdom withno acknowledgement of God, leaning onlytoward their own understanding (Prov 3:5-6). Living in the creation they stand uponthe high places and think they have placedcreation under their feet! The world bywisdom knows not God (1 Cor 1:21) but “Othe depth of the riches both of the wisdomand knowledge of God! How unsearchableare his judgments, and his ways past find-ing out!  For who hath known the mind ofthe Lord? Or who hath been hiscounsellor? Or who hath first given to him,and it shall be recompensed unto himagain” Rom 11:33-35 (KJV)? A.W. Tozarwrote “The philosopher and the scientistwill admit that there is much that they donot know; but that is quite another thingfrom admitting that there is somethingwhich they can never know, which indeedthey have no technique for discovering. Toadmit that there is One who lies beyondus, who exists outside of all our catego-ries, who will not be dismissed with aname, who will not appear before the bar ofour reason, nor submit to our curious inqui-ries”. “Seest thou a man wise in his ownconceit? There is more hope of a fool thanof him” Prov 26:12 (KJV).

Now, “see your calling, brethren,how that not many wise men after the flesh,not many mighty, not many noble, arecalled” 1 Cor 1:26 (KJV). We continue bywitness to be salt and light and glorify theFather in Heaven (Matt 5:13-16) knowingmost will scoff with insolent ridicule andmockery, that we will be hated, as wasJesus, as we will not take up eternal citizen-ship with the world of the lost (John 15:18-19). We carefully follow the doctrine, man-ner of life, purpose, faith and the way oflongsuffering, love and perseverance know-ing persecutions and afflictions will cometo all who desire to live godly in ChristJesus while evil men and impostors willgrow worse and worse, deceiving and beingdeceived (2 Tim 3:10-13). “But you mustcontinue in the things which you have

learned and been assured of, knowing fromwhom you have learned them” 2 Tim 3:14(NKJV). Persecution is not new to Chris-tians, beginning with the first Christianmartyr, Stephen (Acts 7), it continues to thisday, and in this unique country we have notsuffered as the likes of a Polycarp, who wasmartyred in the 2nd century AD by the ene-mies of God, proclaiming unto his death"Eighty and six years have I served him,and he never once wronged me; how thenshall I blaspheme my King” (Foxe's Bookof Martyrs), but the buds of persecutionnow has its roots thriving in the fertile dirtof the politics of a country who has becomewillfully ignorant of its own history and ofGod in His eternal and holy state of being.Yet the willful ignorance changes not God.It changes not our salvation which is sure inChrist. The church does not breathe nor dieby a law of man; it does not lie within abuilding or live within a corporation. Thechurch lies within the hearts of those thatbelong to Christ Jesus. Furthermore, anyloss suffered here is but gain in the eternal(Phil 3:8). The enemies of God will remainthe enemies of God with their consciencesseared in darkness. “Cease from anger, andforsake wrath; Do not fret--it only causesharm........The wicked plots against the just,And gnashes at him with his teeth. TheLord laughs at him, For He sees that his dayis coming. The wicked have drawn thesword and have bent their bow, to castdown the poor and needy, to slay those whoare of upright conduct. Their sword shallenter their own heart, and their bows shallbe broken” Psalms 37:8-15 (NKJV). As theday of the Lord draws ever closer we aretold by God not to be surprised and not tofear. The battle belongs to God. We arecalled to love and mercy, the Holy Ghostwill reign with convicting power and theonly wise God will judge justly. Let thisband together the brethren, “neither death,nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, norpowers, nor things present, nor things tocome, nor height, nor depth, nor any othercreature, shall be able to separate us from

the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus ourLord” Rom 8:38-39 (KJV). Look up and liftyour heads redemption draweth nigh (Luke21:28). Eternal bliss is on the wake and it isHe who has appointed a day on which hewill judge the world in righteousness (Acts17:31). Kneel in faith, stand in courage, andwalk in hope and in God’s love.

“The LORD is merciful and gracious,Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. Hewill not always strive with us, Nor will Hekeep His anger forever” (Psalms 103:8-9)so let any wise of the world having donefoolishly yet seeking the path of righteous-ness say: “Surely I am more brutish thanany man, and have not the understanding ofa man. I neither learned wisdom, nor havethe knowledge of the holy. Who hath as-cended up into heaven, or descended? Whohath gathered the wind in his fists? Whohath bound the waters in a garment? Whohath established all the ends of the earth?What is his name, and what is his son'sname, if thou canst tell? Every word of Godis pure: He is a shield unto them that puttheir trust in him. Add thou not unto hiswords, lest he reprove thee, and thou befound a liar” Prov 30:2-6 (KJV). Let thebeliever say: “Teach me thy way, O LORD,and lead me in a plain path, because of mineenemies. Deliver me not over unto the willof mine enemies: for false witnesses arerisen up against me, and such as breathe outcruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believedto see the goodness of the LORD in the landof the living. Wait on the LORD: be of goodcourage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:wait, I say, on the LORD” Psalms 27:11-14(KJV)! He will keep in perfect peace himwhose mind is steadfast because he trusts inHim. “Trust in the LORD forever, for theLORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal”Isaiah 26:3-4 (KJV).

By DON JELLISONReporter EditorIt has been a good summer basket-

ball season for Fishers’ Tigers.Joe Leonard, a guy who gets excit-

ed anytime he talks about Tigers bas-ketball, is excited.

And, for good reason.“We miss Keegan Kollmeyer (17.3

points a game) and Luke Wehner,” saidthe coach. “But, we have some goodtalent returning.”

When Leonard talks about talentreturing, at the top of the list are a pairof big men, 6-6 Lance Dollison and 6-8Cameron Wolter. Both are seniors andboth seem to be primed for a great finalyear with the Tigers.

“Dollison is bigger and stronger,”Leonard said. “He has grown an inchsince last season. He is playing verywell.”

Dollison averaged 10.3 points agame last season and appeared to getbetter late in the season.

“Wolter is such a talent,” addedLeonard.

Wolter scored at a 12.3 clip as ajunior and led Fishers in rebounds,pulling 5.2 boards a game.

Leonard also is excited with thereturn of two other seniors, 6-1 guardAndre Small and 6-0 guard ZachEaton. Small was a scoring factor lastyear, averaging 5.3 points an outing.

“We played a whole bunch ofgames this summer,” Leonard said.”We probably won 50 percent of thegames we played. We played sometough teams.”

Leonard talked about two of thosegames against Merrillville.

“Merrillville is a good team,” hesaid. “They beat us both times but oneof the games was an overtime war.

“We played North Central andLawrence North, many of the top teamsin this area of the state.”

Along with Dollison and Wolter,there are other seniors who saw solidvarsity action last year. Shawn Moore(6-5) played in 21 games. Tyler Wolfe(a guard) saw action in 17 games.Shawn Taylor (6-5) played in 23 games.

Somewhat of a surprise for Leonardthis summer has been junior guard ReidStephens. As a sophomore, Stephenssaw action in 22 varsity games andaveraged 2.8 points.

“Stephens is one of those guys whois everywhere,” said Leonard. “He’sonly 5-8, but he is everywhere on thecourt.”

Fishers’ summer high school play isdone for the year, but some of the play-ers will go on to AAU play and will getlooks from college scouts through July.It will be interesting to see the looksDollison and Wolter will get.

As usual, Leonard is excited

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorThe Guerin Catholic girls basket-

ball team has two things going for itas it begins the 2015-16 school year:Senior leadership and senior talent.

There are four seniors comingback for the Golden Eagles, whichwill be key as they prepare for whatwill be their toughest season yet.

That class includes GC's leadingscorer Sarah Yount, who averaged12.8 points per game and drained 553-pointers last year. Another senior-to-be, Annemarie Augustinovicz, wasa force on the boards with 5.6 re-bounds per game. Tori Sullivan andAbbigail Wampler are the other se-niors back, and they have also madecontributions.

Guerin coach Scott Miller saidthat Augustinovicz has give the team“incredible leadership” over the sum-mer.

“She has been a senior that hasbeen at everything this summer,” saidMiller. “She and Tori Sullivan wereboth healthy throughout the year lastyear.”

There will be a large junior con-tingent for the Golden Eagles, manyof whom saw some varsity time lastseason as sophomores. Returners areGrace Demas, Erin Fuller, Becca Fil-lip, Kate Anderson, Mauray Murphy,Julie Gallina and Sarah Eberhart.Miller said that almost all of thoseplayers were on junior varsity "for at

least parts of last year," although De-mas primarily played varsity.

Guerin Catholic played in twotournaments in June, and will be par-ticipating in another on in July. Thefirst was an Area Youth BasketballTournament event in Plymouth, fol-lowed by some play at the D-I Bas-ketball Tournament at Fort Wayne'sSpiece Center. The Golden Eagleswill be heading back to Fort Waynefor another AYBT event, a nationaltournament that is scheduled for July19-22.

Miller said that playing at thosecamps has "definitely shown us thatwe've got a ton of work to do" for GCto get where it needs to be.

"We still have a lot of room togrow," said the coach. He noted thathis team might have moved from a 2to a 6, but pointed out that the GoldenEagles need to get to "a 9 or a 10" inorder to compete this season.

That's because Guerin will beplaying a much more difficult slate ofopponents. Miller said his team'sschedule has been loaded up withseveral new Class 4A schools, includ-ing Bloomington North, DecaturCentral and Warren Central. This isall in preparation for a Class 3A sec-tional that includes such strong teamsas Hamilton Heights and Tipton,along with Heritage Christian, whichmoves up to 3A after years of domi-nating in 2A. Heritage won back-to-back 2A state championships, andjumped up in class due to the successfactor.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorIf it weren't for injuries, the Hamilton Heights girls basketball

team would be in a pretty good place this summer.The Huskies have almost everyone back from the previous season,

with Caitlyn Hays the only graduate. And Heights still trends to theyoung side, as there are three seniors and a nice number of juniors andsophomores.

Unfortunately, injuries are limiting summer court time for someof these young-but-experienced Huskies. Heights assistant coachDawn Runner said that junior Taylor Boyd was having her ACLoperated on Thursday and isn't expected back until late in the season.Sophomore Lexi Branham, the team's starting point guard, is alsoinjured.

Nevertheless, Runner is happy with how the summer is progress-ing for the young Huskies.

"It'll still be a young squad, but it's another year older, anotheryear more mature," said Runner. Many of the players on the team gotvarsity experience, and Runner said they are "coming in with a moremature mindest and understanding of the game."

Heights participated in events such as the All Star Shootout,played three games at IPFW, followed by several games at the D-Icamp.

"I think we ended up 10-7 in the month of June," said Runner.In addition, the junior varsity won a tournament at the D-I camp,

which made the coach happy."We did all that without Lexi Branham and Taylor Boyd, so those

are a lot of kids playing in positions they're not used to playing," saidRunner. "I'm pretty pleased with how the month of June went. Hope-fully we'll get everybody back and healthy. That'll be a good indica-tion of things to come."

Heights will return its leading scorer, Kayla Kirtley, who averaged12.3 points per game as a freshman. Boyd was one of the county's toprebounders, pulling down 6.4 boards per game.

Seniors returning are Bri Henson, Logan Wiley and Amy Griffey,with juniors Audrie Catron, Ashton Runner, Claire Schildmeier andAireAnna Stretch joining Boyd. Ana Collar is another sophomore-to-be, along with Emma Knowles and Brooke Pennington coming upfrom JV.

The Huskies will be moved over to a new sectional this year,joining fellow county school Guerin Catholic, longtime rival Tipton,and Heritage Christian, which moves up to Class 3A after dominating2A for the better part of a decade. Heritage's back-to-back 2A titlesmove it up due to the success factor.

Kayla Kirtley was Hamilton Heights’ leading scorer during her freshman year last season.Kirtley averaged12.3 points per game last year.

Clayton Richard has been acquired out-right from the Triple-A Indianapolis Indi-ans by the Chicago Cubs. The Lafayette,Indiana native originally signed a minorleague deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates thisDecember, and as part of that contract, an"upward mobility" clause triggered Tues-day to open a 72-hour window in which thePirates must make him available to theother 29 teams in Major League Baseball.

If any team agreed to put Richard on abig league roster, he was to be either pro-moted to Pittsburgh or traded to the inter-ested team.

Richard will start tomorrow for Chicagoat Wrigley Field against the Miami Marlins,per Cubs beat reporter Carrie Muskat.

Richard went 4-2 with a 2.09 ERA (13ER in 56.0 IP) and 25 strikeouts in ninestarts with the Indians prior to his scratchfrom tonight’s start. He began his Triple-Astint with a 4.02 ERA over his first threeoutings, before going 3-1 and rankingfourth in the International League with a1.34 ERA through his final six starts, begin-ning May 29. He worked an impressivestretch of 28 2/3 consecutive innings withno earned runs during that six-game span.

The former Indiana Mr. Football andBaseball pitched professionally in hishometown for the first time of his careerwhen the Indians hosted Pawtucket on May18. His guest list for that outing featuredmore than 100 friends and family at VictoryField, including his former coaches fromMcCutcheon High School.

Last Sunday (June 28), Richard madehis final appearance at Victory Field, toss-ing seven innings of one-run ball and retir-ing 19 of the last 20 batters faced in a winagainst Syracuse. He concluded his Indiansstint unbeaten in five total home starts witha 2-0 record and 1.64 ERA while pitchingin downtown Indianapolis.
