...and Jim Brainard knows it. Mayor Brainard has held the line on taxes, proposed conservative budgets and fought for job growth, economic development and a quality of life second to none. Strong Fiscal Leadership Jim Brainard has a proven track record of holding down taxes. Today most Carmel residents are paying less in property taxes than they were twenty years ago. Carmel has the lowest tax rate of any Indiana city its size or larger. Job Creation and Economic Development As Mayor, Jim Brainard has fought tirelessly to promote job creation, economic development and redevelopment of our downtown which continues to diversify our tax base, keeping our tax burden on homeowners low. Balanced Budgets Jim Brainard is a fiscal conservative that has streamlined government and protected our tax dollars. The City of Carmel had a cash balance of over $56 million dollars in the bank at the end of 2018, well more than almost all other cities in Indiana. Jim Brainard for Mayor. Strong Management.

David E. McClure December 13, 1938 – April 7, 2019 David E. McClure, husband, friend, attorney and consummate global traveler, em- barked on his final earthly journey Sunday, April 7, 2019. He was born December 13, 1938, in Indianapolis to James E. and Amelia V. (Beyle) McClure. He attended John Strange Elementary and Broad Ripple High School (class of 1956). At IU Bloomington he was a member of Theta Chi fraternity and later graduated Indiana Law School in 1965. He practiced law at McClure, McClure & Davis for over 50 years. David loved life, his legal work, social network of friends, and is remembered by his wit, intellectual curiosity and far-reaching knowledge, allowing him to talk to anyone about anything. His gen- erosity and kindness were a signature characteristic. He cherished good friends and loved spinning yarns of days past. He loved the Pacers and Colts. He once stated one of his greatest joys was celebrating Christmas in his home with good friends and less fortunate families. For many years, he provided Christmas gifts for the children, served up by a jolly Santa Claus. His adventurous spirit led him to travel to 130 countries by train to remote corners of the earth, including the highest railroad in the world (Peru), the Trans-Siberian Express, South Africa and Turkey. Planning trips and traveling with friends was energizing. After buying a rail car built in 1913, traveling “first class” on his private railcar attached to Amtrak and VIA and being the first to take a private car to Mexico was one of his greatest memories. He was committed to the success of the French Lick Scenic Railway since 1978, and was on the Executive Board as Vice President at the time of his death. He donated his private car to the Railway. In 2010, he married Kathy Fox, a longtime friend and traveling companion. The wedding guests boarded the train at French Lick riding to Jasper, with the ceremony taking place on the back platform of his railcar. He will be remembered by his wife, friends and family.

Instead, she was right in rhythm, thanks to her favorite band, Imagine Dragons. “I was honestly singing in my head,” Kardash laughed. “That’s my walkup song [Whatever It Takes], so since it wasn’t playing tonight, I just thought I’d sing it in my head.” Up 1-0 in the count, Kardash’s swing was pitch perfect.

"I want to thank Coach McCauley for serving our student athletes these past five years," said Leah Wooldridge, Noblesville High School athletic director. "He is a great basketball mind and we have appreciated his hard work and dedication to our basketball program.” Noblesville will begin the process of identifying a replacement for McCauley immediately and will announce their selection at a later date. McCauley McCauley will remain as a teacher with Noblesville Schools. Millers upset New Pal, hold off Westfield

Davis, a Central Indiana native, joined Guerin Catholic last summer as Assistant Athletic Director. Prior to joining the Golden Eagle staff, Davis was a teacher and coach at Indianapolis' Cathedral High School. "We are excited to promote Ryan to the position of athletic director," said Guerin Catholic Principal James McNeany. "During his time here, he has shown a passion for mentoring our coaches, hosting excellent competitions, and humbly serving our community. I believe with his leadership, we will seek to live out Gospel values through the avenue of athletics - which is not an easy task in today's sports culture." Davis received his undergraduate degree in Social Studies Education from Indiana University and his Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Butler University. He and his wife Laura have two daughters, Annie (3) and Quinn (9 months) and are members of St. Louis de Montfort Catholic Church in Fishers, Indiana.
