Dear All, Have you been to the “Celebration of Nature” Art Show at the Earth Discovery Center (EDC) in Eagle Creek Park? It ends on Sunday. There is some really great artwork. This year I entered three of my mother’s watercolors in her honor. The hummingbird, the three baby rabbits, and the owl in the […]

Dear All, This summer it seemed that everywhere we wanted to go there was construction, detours, and delays. While it was definitely frustrating when you wanted to go someplace and you had to take a different route or you were slowed or stopped in traffic, the end results hopefully will be worth it. Our Indiana […]

Dear All, Christmas is a magical time of year – one in which it is fun to do special things with family and friends, as well as see many holiday sights and traditions. We are so fortunate to live where there are so many things to see and do at not only this time of […]

Dear All, As temperatures vary from day to day and our winter months begin, I thought this was a great article to share from the Department of Natural Resources about ice.  Many of us have retention ponds or other bodies of water in our neighborhoods or have creeks or streams close to our homes.  Please […]

Dear All, It is getting that time of year – when we start thinking about snow and ice.  Please see below for information from DPW about not only this weekend, but also information that is useful throughout the season and for tree debris or high water problems all year long.   I would also like […]

Dear All, There is going to be a proposal coming before the full Council on Monday night about a pay raise that would take effect in the first part of next year.  The proposal would increase the base salary of the Council from $11,400 to at least $24,115 – more than double.  Remember, in addition […]

Dear All, Eagle Creek Park is partnering with me to do a “Mitten, Glove, Hat, and Sock” drive to help children in our area schools who may be catching the bus, walking to school, or playing outside at recess without gloves, mittens, hats, or socks to help keep them warm this winter.  Donations of these […]

Dear All, Late Wednesday afternoon was an exciting time on Dandy Trail at the bridge over Eagle Creek.  After months of work and waiting, a ribbon was cut and now it is open once again for traffic!  This is going to be such a huge improvement for the 25,000 cars that go over this bridge […]

Dear All, There will be a ribbon cutting for the bridge tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. I would love to see a lot of you there. We have waited so long for this to happen – years for the planning and construction to start, and then once started way to long for completion. But what a […]
