During this time the contractor will complete all intersection improvements including the installation of a traffic signal.

 Access will still be provided from the south to the school and church on the southwest corner of the intersection and the golf course on the southeast corner.

 The intersection work is part of the 126^th Street widening project. When completed, 126^th Street will resemble 116^th Street. The project will allow residents to travel 126^th street more easily and should ease congestion.

The large project began in early July 2009 and should be completed by the end of 2011.

All the enchanting characters are here:  Wilbur played by Fishers residents Andy Raab, (the young Wilbur) and Cory Ruddel, (the older Wilbur), who desperately wants to avoid the butcher. Fern (played by Fishers resident Gabrielle McAree), a girl who understands what the animals say to each other; Templeton, (played by Anderson resident Wes Miller) the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte (played by Indianapolis resident Gabrielle Baker), who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.”

Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “some pig.”  It’s the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte.  This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give the audience an evening of enchantment.

Charlotte’s Web performances run every weekend from Friday, October 10 through Sunday, October 26, at The Artists’ Studio in Fishers. Friday and Saturday evening performances begin at 7:30 pm.

You see Fishers does not want a park but rather a massive sports complex complete with a stadium and lights that light up the night and all the homes in the area. Hundreds of parking spaces, the list goes on and on. So the Peterson’s and their neighbors went before the Town Council. Not once but three times.

To which Fishers Town Council et al said “Fishers did not have to reply to the Peterson’s complaint nor do anything to redress their grievances because they (Fishers) were not subject to due process, civil rights, or equal treatment under the law provisions of the U.S. Constitution.”

So the Peterson’s took the matter to Federal Court. The town needless to say has been claiming this does not belong in Federal Court, it belongs in state courts, where the local politics start to play a role and towns are never wrong. Well, right now its still in the Federal System. Its rather interesting in questioning, the Township Trustee stated that the Town Council President threatened the removal of Fire Protection and another elected Town Council member tried to bride him if he played along. Is this Indiana or Chicago? The late Mayor Daley and Boss Tweed of NYC would be very proud of this town council.

So while the Judge is reviewing the Fishers claim that this does not belong in a Federal Court the Town is moving ahead with a new plan, exempt themselves form the law. The Unified Development Ordinance” (UDO) is the Fishers code on new developments.

If the matter remains in Federal Court the Town will move into its usual legal mode, flood the system with filling, depositions, etc and drive the Peterson’s legal bill into piles so high they will reach the moon. After all its only taxpayer money on the town side.

What they (Fishers) will be proposing and will probably approve is the “Exemption” of Fishers Town Council and Government from the UDO requirements and adherence thereto. In other words, its “do as I say, not as I do;” or the ever popular, “We’re above the law and therefore not subject to it.” The law is for you peasants. They are going to vote on this Tuesday August 12 and anyone willing to take a bet it passes. As usual the Town Council is unified and all decisions are made in advance.

So here we have a local government that exempts itself from its own laws, and claims that its citizens are not protected by the Constitution of the United States of America.

It’s time to remove the Town form of government and replace it with a City and a more responsible form of government. It’s time to remove the gang of seven from office.

Women of any age can become victims of breast cancer. However, pregnant women, or those with nursing babies or small children have special considerations that the medical and research communities must pay extra attention to. That’s why the Young Survival Coaltion and Hamilton County MIBOR have organized their 3rd annual golf outing – to help raise money that will fund programs for increasing awareness of the critical issues facing young women diagnosed with breast cancer.

This event is an all-day golf outing, and will include lunch, cool refreshments & snacks, a buffet dinner, silent auction and prizes. Expect to have an awesome time! If your spouse can’t make it out to play golf, bring him or her to the dinner and auction for only $25.

Thanks to the developer friendly town council, the town of Fishers has become the third fastest growing town, growing twice as fast as Indianapolis since the year 2000. Since that time, the town’s population has exploded 69% to a population of 66,080.

The formation into a city would provide for a Mayor and city council districts that would be directly elected by their districts, as opposed to the current form where town council members are elected “at-large” despite being in districts. Purvis, who campaigned on the issue of becoming a city in 2007, said that “a community the size of Fishers deserves a Mayor that will be accountable to voters. The current town chief is a town manager hired by and hand picked by the town council”. House District 29 includes approximately half of the Town of Fishers and Weingarten believes voter turnout is indicative of the way the town council districts are elected. “It’s a possibility that one of the reasons for the very low turnout in Fishers elections is for the lack of representative districts. The formation of a city will allow voters to directly vote for a Mayor, and choose their own city’s leader”.

Approximately 1,500 Fishers residents must sign a petition in order for the question of becoming a city is placed on an election ballot. This number is based on 10% of Fishers’ registered voters who cast their vote in the last election for secretary of state. Organizers feel confident that this can be easily accomplished.
