MORGAN COUNTY Subdivision sewer work to be done in phases Mooresville The Mooresville Town Council has cleared another hurdle in a yearlong effort to extend sewer services to the Boyd Heights subdivision on the town's southeastside, off Rooker Road.
Although Boyd Heights is not part of the town, residents approached the council in 2003, asking that a nearby public sewer line be extended to the subdivision. Because council members were not able to obtain unanimous support for the project among surrounding homeowners, the project was divided into two phases. Phase one will accommodate residents of Boyd Heights who have the most urgent need for public sewer services. The town will install a sewer line along the north side of Meadow Lane, and homeowners will be able to connect to it at their own expense. The second phase along Ind.
144, where property owners weren't interested in sewers will take place later. No timetable has been set for that phase. Council members obtained construction bids for both phases of the project'in May, but no action was taken because easem*nt agreements with homeowners were needed for construction. Having finally received agreements with the property owners this week, council members awarded a contract for phase one work to Perry Excavating for $59,869. Four lots within Boyd Heights, originally part of phase two, will be added to phase one.
This will cost an additional $12,053. Tony Perry, of Perry Excavating, estimates it will take 60 days to complete the first phase. HAMILTON COUNTY Board may issue guide for expelled students Carmel Parents of expelled Carmel Schools students soon may get some written guidance on how to appeal those administrative decisions. The School Board is considering a written version of a policy it has long practiced regarding which expulsions would be eligible for review and how these review proceedings would be conducted. "They just want something in their hands that they can refer the public to," said Steve Dillon, district director of student services.
Dillon said it's part of a goal of getting the board's entire policy manual spelled out and available online, so parents and the general public can access it. In the case of the expulsion policy, the board is guided not only by past practice but also by state law that requires that parents get a chance to appeal a student's discharge. Last school year, Dillon said, the district recorded 80 expulsions most, for drug and alcohol offenses. In three cases, the families involved requested an appeals review. Alliance breaks ground on new headquarters Clay Township The Alliance for Cooperative Energy Services and the $1 million incentive package being provided by Hamilton County and the Indiana Department of Commerce.
"We are aggressively pursuing business and job creation opportunities and forging partnerships with local and company officials to benefit residents, their communities and the entire state," Davis said.

He said the water came up to about the top of his car door. A Randolph County resident, Phelps was visiting his daughter and did not know if he'd be able to drive the car back home. "It starts, at least," he said. Then he asked. "Does this happen here a lot?" Call Star reporter John Tuohy at (317) 444-6418.

John Strawmyer, a resident of the Hoosier Estates mobile home park, was discovered in the home around 7:45 p.m., said Lebanon firefighter Andy Blume.

Sponsored by the Indiana Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, police officers filled out several teams. Others, like the Blake teams, were formed by regular volunteers and supporters of Special Olympics, for a variety of personal reasons. There were Sarah Bean, a 29-year-old event planner, and her husband, Craig Bean, 28, who works in building maintenance and friends from their co-ed soft-ball team. Another of their plane-ruggers was a member of the Special Olympics softball team that Sarah Bean coaches. Two members of a Rushville Special Olympics team completed their roster.
Special Olympics Indiana spokeswoman Joy Mahoney said the contributions hadn't been totaled, but it was estimated, conservatively, that more than $37,000 had been raised.

While they didn't win any awards, they did raise $3,000 for the nonprofit group, which provides sports training and competitions for nearly 12,000 Hoosiers with mental disabilities.
It was easy, Wade said. "When you have a face like that to put a pledge to, how can you resist?" But for Blake's buddies, the event wasn't really about money or competition. It was about caring. "We don't give a damn about whether we win or lose. It's the reason why we're doing it," said the Blake teams' captain, Susan Rickert.
"It's extremely uplifting." Blake's condition requires frequent visits to the doctor. Developmental steps that other parents take for granted come more slowly and require more effort. But Andrea Amick, who had worked with children with disabilities before, doesn't mind. "God gives you what he gives you," sh said. "To me, it's not a disability.
I have just as many expectations for him as my 6-year-old son," she said. "I couldn't be happier." As for the competition, the Wabash College football team set the bar early and walked away with the fastest time of 5321 seconds. The most-spirited team award went to Sam and Tarah and Friends.
