By MARY SUE ROWLANDAnother Historic building in Noblesville is in the pro-
cess of coming down. But some seevalue in an adoptive reuse? If historyrepeats itself, it will be torn town andno matter how good the argument tosave the building, it will be torndown. In the most historic area in thecounty, Noblesville seems to misshow important the historic structuresare to the future of the community.Yes, the future along with the past.Again, Noblesville is missing the op-portunity to keep the community his-
toric and forgets that when structures come down there isno attempt to preserve and protect what makes this commu-nity great.
Here are some good examples:The Diana Theatre torn down in June 1993. Today it is
a parking lot.The Wild Opera House torn down in 1959. Today it is
a parking lotThe ABC Drive-In on Cumberland Road torn down in
1996. Today it is commercial building area.The Rainbo Roller Skating Rink on Conner and Cum-
berland Road torn down 1989. Today a strip mall.The United Methodist Church on Clinton and Tenth
torn down 1964. Today a drive thru bank and parking lot.
W. Hare & Son building at Tenth and Conner St. torndown in 1981. Today it is a parking lot.
1st Hamilton Country Hospital, the Harrell Hospitaltorn down 1975. Today it is a parking lot.
Historic First Ward School torn down 1967 to makeroom for North Elementary School.
Historic Second Ward School torn down 1968. Todayit is a city park.
Historic Third Ward School torn down 1969. Today astrip mall.
Historic High School classroom building on Conner St.torn down 1969. Today basketball courts.
Conner School on Conner Street was torn down lastweek. Today it will be?
City Hall has been torn down twice. Once on 9th St. fora parking lot and the expansion of the old Library buildingthat became city hall and then expanded with new con-struction for the present city hall. Hard to tell today wherethe 1st Carnegie Library once stood.
And the list goes on and on in the name of progress.Historic preservation, who cares? The question is can anhistoric and technological marvel built in 1904 to serve adynamic agricultural economy in the area be saved? Thestructure stood as a testament to the contribution localfarmers made to Noblesville in its time. The structure ofconcern is the Grain Elevator between 8th and 9th streetsjust south of the Court House square. The North CentralCoop, Noblesville is in the process of removing the multibuildings with an undetermined use. However, an organi-
zation with many excellent housing projects around Ham-ilton County has a vision and has asked the North CentralCoop to hold on, and the work has stopped for now. TheHamilton Country Area Neighborhood Developmentknown as HAND, along with the neighbors and the South-west Quadrant residents, believe it is important to get aresponse from the community on the future of the area.HAND envisions not just saving a substantial portion ofthe 85 foot tall elevator but keeping history intact so chil-dren can tour the inner workings of their agriculturalheritage. HAND envisions by saving the elevator, soundeconomic redevelopment would inject life into the South-west quadrant and the area.
A request is circulating asking the North Central Coopto postpone demolition to engage the community and giveopportunity to discussion of best possible strategies for thefuture. HAND believes saving the structure will savethousands of dollars and preserve a magnificent piece ofhistory. As HAND has said, "development of flat groundcan occur anytime, but we can never plan ways to preservethe buildings once they are gone". You can support theeffort to save a very important part of history by going online to www.facebook.com/HANDincorporated and seethe video by FOX 59 and a chance to add your name to theeffort. Partners include the Noblesville Preservation Alli-ance 317-426-1672 or the Hamilton Co. Historical Society317-770-0775 or HAND located at 347 South 8th St. SuiteA, 317-674-8108.

By DON JELLISONReporter EditorJohn Kiser, in his upcoming se-
nior season playing basketball forthe Noblesville Millers, may set arecord for times double-teamed byopponents. Maybe even a triple-teamed a time or two.
For a couple of reasons:*Kiser is one of those outstand-
ing basketball players who comealong ever so often. He’s good. Thissummer he played for the IndianaJunior All-Stars.
*Kiser will be playing with argu-ably the most inexperienced Nobles-ville basketball team in many years.Bet on it, defenses will make someinexperienced Millers beat them.
Brian McCauley, who will be inhis second season coaching the Mill-ers, agrees that Kiser will see hisshare of (and more) special defenses.But, the coach also believes that justbecause the Millers may be youngand inexperienced, it doesn’t neces-sary mean that Kiser won’t be pro-tected by his teammates.
The Millers are winding downtheir summer season this weekendplaying in the Super Hoops Classicat Marion.
“John Kiser is a great player,”said McCauley. “He’s a good athletewith high skills. He’s a great teamleader and he is a very unselfish typeof player.”
Kiser has not made a collegecommitment. Most of the interesthas come from mid-Division Ischools such as Ball State, WesternMichigan, IUPUI, Purdue Calumetand from Indiana Wesleyan, whereJohn is playing with his Noblesvillemates this weekend.
“The (Kiser) family is being pa-tient with the recruitment process,”McCauley said. “They’ve gonethrough it with an older daughter and
they have a younger daughter who isattracting lots of college attention.”
Like with many athletes inKiser’s situation, his greatest lookfrom the college crowd will comethe next three or four weeks as Johnmoves from summer high schoolplay to AAU competition. He willplay for a team coached by BillyShepherd, the former Mr. Basketballfrom Carmel.
It has been a good summer sea-son for Kiser and the Millers. Lastweekend they played in the CharlieHughes Classic, starting off withgames at Warren Central.
“We’ve played some goodteams,” said McCauley. “We’veplayed Terre Haute North, LawrenceNorth, Guerin, Westfield, NorthCentral Fishers, Chatard and At-tucks.
“Our players are playing betterthe longer they are together.”
With veteran players such asJake Mills, Sean Wilson, DavidCory, Brady Resch, Josh Gentry,Joey Herron and Joey Brewer allgone, McCauley is looking to filllots of holes.
McGwire Plumer, who as a soph-omore point guard saw the most ac-tion last season, is back for his junioryear.
“Plumer got some good minuteslast season,” said McCauley.
Max Flinchum, another junior-to-be, comes up from the junior var-sity, known as a good shooter andscorer.
“Flinchum is growing from justbeing a spot up shooter,” McCauleysaid.
The coach also likes what he hasseen from junior Corby Mertens, se-nior Ryan Ogden, senior BrandonBarthel , junior Nolan Ginther andothers who are working hard to getvarsity playing time.
John Kiser, Noblesville senior and varsity basketball player, participated in the Indiana ClassBasketball All Star Classic at Anderson University on Friday, June 19th. He was chosen as histeam's mental attitude winner and is pictured receiving the award from Kent Benson.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorRain may wind up affecting today's In-
diana Coaches of Girls Sports Association'sNorth-South All-Star Softball game, butFriday's banquet was nice and dry.
Carmel High School hosted the annualbanquet, which honored the 44 senior girlsplaying in this year's All-Star doubleheader.The games are scheduled to start at 11 a.m.at Carmel's Cherry Tree Softball Complex,although that could change depending onthe weather situation.
Four Hamilton County players are toplay on the South team. They are Nobles-ville's Aly Compton and Zoe Schafer, andHamilton Southeastern's Madi Maloof andMaggie Armstrong. Compton and Schaferled the Millers to sectional and regionalchampionships, while Maloof and Arm-strong helped the Royals to a 23-3 record.
Compton, who called getting to play onthe team a "once in a lifetime opportunity,"is also in the running for Miss Softball. Theaward will be announced in between today'sgames. If Compton wins, she would joinCarmel's Jenny Schoen (1994), HSE's Mor-gan Melloh (2007) and Noblesville's KatieHarrison (2011) as Hamilton County win-ners of the award.
All of the county's All-Stars were happywith getting a chance to play in today'sdoubleheader. Maloof noted that theywould be "playing with girls that we've seenall throughout high school and we get toenjoy it together."
Armstrong agreed. "I think it's cool thatwe get to play with all the seniors across thestate," she said.
Schafer spoke of the work that it tookjust to get to this point.
"I think it's cool just because a lot ofpeople have worked towards this, or it'sbeen one of their goals for a long time," saidSchafer. "I know it was mine, so it's cool tofinally be able to play in it."
As the All-Star weekend is taking placein Carmel, Greyhounds coach Emily Goodis serving as the coordinator and host of thefestivities, in addition to duties as one of theco-chairpersons of the ICGSA SoftballCommittee. Needless to say, Good has beenbusy throughout the weekend, but shefound time to relax for a few minutes andtalk about the weekend.
"I'm really thrilled with it," said Good.The coach continued that the banquet was a“celebration of these young ladies that havehad outstanding four years” in their highschool careers.
“We're working hard to make sure thatthey get the recognition that they deserveand so far so good,” said Good. "Hopefully
the weather will cooperate for us tomorrow,keeping our fingers crossed and trying tofind some alternatives if necessary. I thinkjust having the banquet tonight really kindof solidifies bringing them together, givingthem an opportunity to be recognized forthe things that they've accomplished beforethey go forward."
Meanwhile, five county softball playerswere named to the Academic All StateTeam. They are: Sofia Huster of GuerinCatholic, Mandy Hasty of HamiltonHeights, Maloof and Kayla Kocal of HSEand Shannon Padgett of Sheridan.

By MAURA MCBRIDE It’s already day
four here on our 2015training trip. We hadour last practice inPanama City Beachthis morning which weput some good workinto once again, andeven worked on our
relay starts a little to prepare for the meetstarting on Friday. After we thanked thelocal coaches for their hospitality, wequickly got back to our hotel for breakfastand last minute packing before our hopeful10:30 a.m. departure to Marietta, Georgia.It was our last breakfast in our P.C.B. hoteland I think the staff and other guest will berelieved because there will now be more
food and much less of a crowd each morn-ing!
Our goal of a 10:30 departure time wentas planned and we all piled in the vans forabout a six hour ride up to Marietta, Geor-gia where our meet is being held. The vanrides are always pretty interesting, especial-ly now that all the classes are split up andmixed together in each of the four. Weusually try to make our own fun whether
it’s asking “Would You Rather” questionsto each other, singing, dancing, making andrecording choreographed music videos tosongs, or everyone’s favorite: sleeping.
We hit some traffic in and around Atlan-ta but we made it to the hotel with about 30minutes to get all dressed up and ready fora fancy and delicious Italian pasta dinner atTuscany Italian Restaurant. The restaurantwas also up on a hill which had a beautifulview. We of course took advantage of this(and the fact that all of us were dressed upfor once) took tons and tons of pictures witheach other, our classes, and our group as awhole. The nights we go out to dinner arealways so fun for us and are a great time forall of us to just relax, talk, and our favoritething to do: eat… a lot.
When we got back to our hotel, we metin one of the conference rooms for ourpre-meet meeting. We received our reallynice meet t-shirts and caps which have thelogo for the trip on them, and had a littlepep talk to get us pumped up to race hardand fast the next three days. I think after agreat week of hard but awesome trainingwe’re ready to kill it in the pool! Wish usluck!
On the road again...to Marietta, Georgia
