And, there are a few other problems with Joe's idea.

That might not sound like for yearly pancake breakfast much, but by my conservative calcula- tions it amounts to between $5 million and $6 million per year. You can fix a lot of chuckholes with that along with the money from the other surrounding coun- ties. There's another consideration. While we have 58,000 commuters to Indy, we have about 318,000 people in Hamil- ton County. That means a vast majority, 260,000 more or less, do not commute and may not want to pay to fix Joe's prob- lem. And, then we should consider that many commuters use largely interstate highways like 69 and 465 to get to work. Indianapolis does not maintain these roads, the state highway department (IN- DOT) is solely responsible.

HSE’s Malone wins close 200, Tigers finish first in 4x800 By RICHIE HALL BLOOMINGTON - By literally a few millimeters, Hamilton Southeastern's Noah Malone became a state champion on Friday. The junior won the 200 dash by a margin of two-thousandths of a second - .002 - at the IHSAA boys track and field state cham- pionships at Indiana University. The 200 dash was easily the race of the night and among the highlights of Hamilton County athletes. Malone helped the Royals to a fourth- place finish as a team, their best result since winning state in 2013. Meanwhile, Fishers also landed in the top 10 and claimed a state title in the 4x800 relay. Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville all had medalist perfor- mances as well. Coming into the 200, Malone had already put together a nice list of accom- plishments at state. He was the runner-up in the 100 dash and part of HSE's fourth-place 4x100 relay, joining freshman Stephen Sydnor, sophomore Gage Pratt and junior Caleb Durden in that race. Malone's biggest competitor was his friend and fellow junior, Jahn Riley of Pike. Riley was working on his third medal of the night, already placing seventh in the 100 dash and winning the 400 dash.
