‘One Magical Night’ with Royal BallBy FRED SWIFTProposed legislation is pending in the

Indiana General Assembly that wouldeliminate township boards throughout thestate. House Bill 1232 would, if adopted,abolish the 150 year old township legislativebranch of local government effective onJanuary 1, 2019.

In Hamilton County each township hasa three-member board which is responsiblefor adopting an annual budget, salaryscale and tax levy for townshipservices. Townships in Indiana provide poorrelief, money for fire protection, cemeteryupkeep and in some cases park andrecreation funding.

Under the proposed law, sponsored byIndianapolis Rep. Cindy Ziemke, the countycouncil would take on the township board'sresponsibilities. There would still be atownship trustee who would submit his or

her fiscal matters to the council for approvalor denial.

The change in the law is apparentlybeing planned as a method of saving money.The township board members are part-timeand receive salaries ranging from a fewhundred dollars per year in small townshipsto several thousand dollars in the state'slargest townships. There are 1,008 suchunits of local government statewide, nine ofwhich are found in Hamilton County.

The future of the legislation is uncertain.Most of the 3,024 board members in thestate are assumed to be opposed, and manycounty council members are less thanenthusiastic about taking on the fiscalfunctions of townships. But, for severalyears townships have been the target ofgovernment reformers who believe this unitof government is no longer needed.

But Heightsanswered back with a layin from Branham,and a jump shot from Wiley pushed theHuskies ahead 28-14. Heights stretched itslead in the fourth quarter, with Branhamadding three more points.

In all, Branham scored 13 points forHeights.

"Lexi played a nice game," said Cherry."She handled the ball for us. They wereplaying that zone and we just kind of spreadthem out, and worked the clock. Took careof the basketball and made enough plays to

kind of maintain our distance there."Branham also had five steals, while Ana

Collar had another incredible reboundinggame, grabbing 14 boards.

Mason, Geis and Cunningham all scoredfour points for the Golden Eagles. GraceDemas pulled six rebounds.

"I think we played well defensively,"said GC coach Dave Roth. "We've beentrying to work on what we wanted to do forabout a week-and-a-half now. We got betterat it. We didn't perfect it, but we got better

regular-season game on Jan. 14, but the BlueDevils were without their center. So, Cherry

knows the upcoming sectional game (whichtips at 6 p.m.) will have more size.

And of course, Heights-Tipton is a bigrivalry game.

"They're well-prepared and they're well-coached," said Cherry. "So it's going to bea huge challenge, and then throw on top ofit, it's a huge rivalry game anytime theseschools get together. It's a battle."
