Fishers Plan Commission sends recommendation on iTownBy LARRY LANNANLarryinFishers.comThe iTown Church is one step closer to a new church

building after the Fishers Plan Commission unanimouslyapproved a recommendation to the city council for approvalof plans for a new facility at 126th Street and Brook SchoolRoad.  The Fishers City Council will have the final say onthe proposal.

There were 15 speakers at the public hearing, with anearly even split between those favoring the new churchbuilding and those in opposition.  Most of the opponents

live in the Gray Eagle subdivision next door to the plannedbuilding.   Many in the neighborhood objected to theremoval of green space from the area to make way for thechurch and the adjacent parking lot.  The iTown Church hasapproximately 4,000 members.

Members of the church packed the council chambersand were in a clear majority, although a number of thoseopposing the church building were also in attendance.

Church members speaking at the public hearing talkedabout the good work of the church, including its outreachto young people.  Two WTHR news anchors, Scott Swan

and Anne Marie Tiernon, both Fishers residents, aremembers of iTown church and spoke at the public hearingin favor of the new building.

Fishers City Council member Pete Peterson, also amember of the Plan Commission, repeated what heexpressed at a recent city council meeting, that he isconcerned about the viability of the Gray Eagle Golf Courseif the driving range is demolished.   The owner of the golfcourse has committed to building a new club housereplacing the current one that will be torn down to makeway for the church.

By STU CLAMPITT4th Hawk ConsultingFirst and foremost, I’d like to congratulate all the

graduates of the class of 2017. Welldone. Now get out here in the realworld and make your marks. I’m alsogiving a tip of my hat (it’s a fedora,by the way) to the last valedictorianfrom Noblesville High School.

The last.As in, there will be no more.You see, dear readers, Noblesville

has chosen to join Carmel Clay andWestfield Washington Schools in themove to do away with valedictorian

honors.A long time ago in a high school far far away, I too

graduated. I was not the valedictorian, but one of my dearfriends was. He gave possibly the worst speech I have eversat through, but he earned the right to stand up there andspeak poorly because he was the most exemplary studentmy little school turned out that year.

When I finally got serious about my own collegeeducation, I was so much older than the average student thatwhen getting a picture taken for my student ID the photog-rapher asked me if I was faculty or staff.

It got under my skin a bit. That is one little reason,combined with the American tradition of competition andbeing the best, that I made sure I was going to be at the topof my class. I failed at that, not because I performed poorly,but because there was no way to measure it.

I graduated from college with a perfect 4.0 GPA andhave a little scrap of metal somewhere in my office thatreads “Summa Cum Laude.”

Again, I was not the valedictorian. I do not even knowwhat my class rank was. My college stopped tracking classranks before my graduation and I felt more than a littlebetrayed. I was immediately reminded of this old joke: Whatdo they call the guy who graduated dead last in his class atmedical school? Doctor. Just like the guy who finished first.

Personally, I’d rather not trust my daughter’s health tothe guy who finished last.

Alright. I admit there is a good deal of respect thatcomes from finishing the program. But there should be morerespect for the person who does it better than anyone else!

We do not hand out participation medals at theOlympics—we award the best athletes.

We do not hire the most mediocre person we can for thejob—we hire the best candidate.

The Reporter, Hamilton County’s Hometown Newspa-per, does not earn your readership for being just anothernewspaper—we earn it by being the best one in this area.

Our country is not run by the people who RAN foroffice—it is run by those who WON the elections.

Western culture as a whole—and American culture morethan most—is founded on competition and winning.

Finishing the race is indeed an accomplishment, but itis not the goal. Winning is.

I’m Native American. My people ask ourselves whatour actions can do to make the world better for the nextseven generations to come.

I am also American. I like to win.

I know Westfield Washington Schools have done verywell without valedictorians. This year they were listed asthe highest ranked school in Hamilton County, 6th overallin Indiana and 561st out of 28,496 high schools reviewedby U.S. News & World Report. Kudos for that.

Too bad none of your students can say they were the topgraduate in one of the top high schools in the country.

From someone with a minor in psychology, here is alittle secret about how to modify behavior: if you reward abehavior, it increases; if you ignore a behavior, it decreases.

Hamilton County schools, you just removed one of therewards of academic achievement. Let’s just do away withgrades while we are at it. Just move to pass-fail. Sevengenerations from now, maybe we can all be perfectlyaverage.

If there are no winners, we are all losers. Isn’t equalitygrand?

The last valedictorian

Gaining resident input is so importantthat street teams will be at variouslocations in Hamilton County helpingpeople take the survey this summer. Streetteam members will be wearing blue “Askme about Transit” shirts and will be atshopping malls, libraries and festivals.

The survey questions explore whattransit tradeoffs residents want, theirpreferences on ways to structure a system,how they might use transit, and whetherthey want transit in their community.

StatePointToday’s cars come with some impres-

sive features. But no matter what up-to-datetech your car boasts, it’s your tires thatconnect it to the road, playing a crucial rolein safety and performance.

With more than a century of experience,the experts at Cooper Tires are offering factsand tips every driver should know.

Air PressureProper inflation can extend a tire’s life

and increase fuel efficiency, saving youmoney. Don’t be fooled by visuals, howev-

er. Even when tires look properly inflated,they may be under-inflated by as much as50 percent. Also, tire pressure decreaseswhen temperatures drop, so the changingseasons are a good reminder to check pres-sure.

Ensure valve caps are on every tire, andwhen replacing tires, have a new valve stemassembly installed. They keep out moistureand dirt, and provide an additional seal tomaintain inflation.

TreadTire tread helps maintain traction,

improves handling and helps prevent hydro-planing. Additionally, bald tires are morelikely to be damaged by potholes and otherroad hazards. The tread on your tires shouldbe more than 2/32 of an inch deep.

Replacing TiresWhile ideally, you’ll replace all four

tires at once, if you can only purchase two,the new pair should always be installed onthe rear axle. This will help maintain controlon wet roads and during sudden maneuvers.

Never purchase or install used tires.Used tires, especially those with an

unknown history, should be considered dan-gerous.

Seasonal Considerations“All season” tires are designed for year-

round moderate weather. For severe winterconditions, install winter tires formulated toimprove braking and handling on snow andice. Many brands identify winter tires witha special icon. On Cooper Tires for example,look for the 3-Peak Mountain or Snowflakesymbol located on the tire’s sidewall.

Self-InspectionA 10-minute, do-it-yourself inspection

will get you road-ready. Follow these stepsmonthly and before long road trips.

• Air pressure. Check air pressure whentires are cool (a minimum of three hoursafter driving).

For proper inflation pressure, don’tcheck the tire’s sidewall, which indicatesmaximum pressure allowed. Instead, checkyour vehicle’s owner’s manual or theplacard found on the driver’s side doorjamb,glove box or fuel door.

Remove the valve cap, take the tiregauge and press firmly on the valve stem. Ifthe reading is lower than the recommendedlevel, add air and check again. Over inflat-ed? Push on the metal valve core with thenub on the back of the tire gauge. Once therecommended pressure is reached, replacethe valve cap.

• Tread. Insert the edge of a penny in thetire tread with Lincoln’s head down. If thetop of his head is visible at any point aroundthe tire, it’s time to replace the tire.

• Overall condition. Check for cuts,cracks, splits, punctures, irregular wear andbulges. If any are spotted, or if you’redoubtful about the condition of your tires,get a professional inspection.

Tires are more important than manydrivers realize. To help your family stay safeon the road, get tire-savvy.

Millers, Greyhounds are champsFishers makes first-ever state meet; Westfield, HSE’s Alexander also qualify

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorIt was a beautiful day for golf regionals,

and a nice day to make some history as well.Four Hamilton County teams finished in

the top three at their respective regionals,thus qualifying for next week's statetournament at Prairie View Golf Club.Noblesville triumphed at the Muncie Centralregional at The Players Club in Yorktown,with Fishers placing third for its first everstate berth. Over at Battle Ground Golf Club,Carmel won the Lafayette Jeff regional, andWestfield finished third.

The Millers' victory gave them a firstregional trophy since 2012. Coupled withMonday's sectional championship atPurgatory Golf Club, it's the third time thatNoblesville swept sectional and regionaltitles, and the first time since 2005. Overall,it's the sixth regional title for NHS.

The Millers won with a score of 288,matching their sectional championshipscore. Noblesville coach Gary Sewell saidhis team has "been waiting for this all year,"and everything came to fruition on Thursday.

"We knew how well we could play," saidSewell. "The last two weeks, we've beenable to do that, put things together. It helpswhen Clay goes out and shoots 66."

Clay Merchent had an outstanding dayon the course, winning individual medalisthonors by six shots over second place.Merchent fired off seven birdies in hisround, including a string of four in a row atone point.

"It's been close all year, hasn't reallycome around yet," said Merchent. Thesophomore said he has thrown some goodscores up on the board this season, and kept

working on the off-season. That work ispaying off now.

If Merchent provided the flash,Noblesville's other four scores provided thefoundation for the victory. MitchellCompton carded a 73 (with five birdies),Parker Deakyne shot 74 (one birdie), JacobDeakyne scored 75 (four birdies) and JohnBarnes carded 76 (two birdies).

Compton's score placed him thirdindividually, while Parker Deakyne tied forfifth.

"Everybody is peaking at the right time,"said Sewell. The coach said that Merchent'sincredible round took the pressure off histeammates, since they didn't have to forcethings to happen on the course.

"They can just let things happen, andthat's when usually you play your best," saidSewell.

"It's really exciting stuff," said Merchent."It's good to be able to still win even if youdidn't get to count the 66."

By making it to state, Jacob Deakynewill be fourth golfer in his family to play atstate. Grandfather Pete Deakyne and fatherGary Deakyne also represented Noblesvilleat the state meet, and Parker Deakyne playedas an individual at Prairie View last year -now his whole team will join him.

Fishers joined in the excitement bymaking it to state for the first time. TheTigers made it to Prairie View by a whisker:Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern eachfinished with 315, but the Tigers won on thefifth-man score. Cathedral placed secondwith 311.

"It's an awesome feeling," said Fisherscoach Keith Andrews. "So happy for ourkids. They've played so well this year."

Shivom Patel and Noah Chamberlin bothscored 77s for the Tigers. Chamberlin hadtwo birdies, while Patel made one birdie.Bryce Robertson's 78 included two birdies.Nick Fisher had one birdie.
