Graham Bixler, 30, of Zionsville is charged with murder in the death of his mother, Kristin Bixler, whose mutilated body — which authorities are still working to positively identify — was discovered at her home in the 5300 block of Old 106th Street April 8. Police had been called to the scene that day by her mother, Susan Smith, who stated she had not heard from her daughter in nearly a week, according to court documents.
Graham Bixler was arrested April 9 on one count of murder. He appeared for a video arraignment April 12, repeatedly telling Judge Lori Schein that he was innocent. Schein ordered him held without bond in the Boone County Jail and he was assigned a public defender.
An autopsy performed on the remains April 8 showed the cause of death to be blunt-force trauma and sharp-force injuries.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed with the court, Smith said Graham Bixler had previous interactions with law enforcement, had struggled with mental illness and had allegedly been violent with his mother in the past.
When officers approached the property April 8, they were unable to make contact with anyone inside the residence. A subsequent search of the property revealed an open window and miscellaneous items strewn about the property, including bloody clothes. Further investigation uncovered the body of a deceased female with multiple, significant injuries who appeared to have been dead for at least 24 hours. Multiple holes had also been dug in the vicinity of the body.
Officers also observed a black pickup truck stuck in the mud on the property.
Further investigation revealed that Graham Bixler had recently been driving that truck, which belongs to his father, Gregory Bixler.
Zionsville law enforcement was later informed that Graham Bixler had been picked up by Carmel Police Department officers April 7 while driving his mother’s vehicle and had been transported to St. Vincent Hospital.
After securing a search warrant for the home, Zionsville police uncovered multiple items covered in what appeared to be blood, according to the affidavit, including a
rock, grill covers, clothing and three handheld saws.
Interviews with family members and neighbors indicate that Graham Bixler had moved into his mother’s residence in March. Neighbors said they witnessed him engage in odd behavior, including standing in the driveway clad only in a blanket or walking around the property nude while screaming. A pretrial conference is scheduled for 2 p.m. June 12.
The Town of Zionsville is addressing concerns that the intersection of 400 South and 875 East could be a potential hazard for motorists.
Mayor John Stehr addressed the issue before the Town Council last month. He said after visiting the site with members of the Department of Public Works, the town determined that there are several visual impediments at the intersection, including utility poles, trees, a communications cabinet and road signs.
“There has been a higher-than-expected accident rate there, and DPW has responded by installing extra signage,” Stehr said. “The accident rate has gone down by then, and they do not have any other plan for any future short-term changes. However, this has been on our radar, and the intersection is one of 21 identified on the recent road impact fee study that could meet the minimum warrants over the next 10 years that would call for a new traffic signal or roundabout to control the intersection.”
Stehr said normally the town does not rank its list for general road needs, but added it is reasonable to prioritize this one. The first step will be to determine cost, a project Stehr said DPW has started and will include land acquisition and utility relocations.
Any future work would be funded
through the road impact fund, but Stehr said it is too early for a timeline.
Councilmembers were glad to see the issue addressed.
“I lived here for 20 years before I ever even drove through that intersection, so there are many people who probably don’t know anything about it. But for the people who do live near it, it is a concern of theirs and I’m glad that we’re looking into things,” Councilmember Tim McElderry said. “I would just urge the public to please be patient. It does take a long time for things like this to happen, and in the meantime, we will monitor it. If there’s anything else we can do in that time between now and when any type of corrective measures are made, we will do that.”
McElderry added that this issue is a good example of collaboration between the new council and mayor.

The Zionsville Farmers Market returns to the town’s historic brick Main Street in May for its 27th season.
Organizers said visitors can expect some new offerings from the market’s 41 vendors.
“Many of our favorite vendors are returning, but this year we have a few new vendors,” said Kristin Nester, Zionsville Farmers Market coordinator. “We have one who will be bringing mushrooms, including foraged mushrooms, which is unique because they have to be state certified to collect and sell foraged mushrooms for safety purposes. We also have some new produce vendors, one that specializes in tomatoes and one that is a general produce vendor, and then we also have a new sourdough vendor who is going to bring starters, loaves and kits to make your own sourdough.”

There was nothing simple about watching the April 8 total solar eclipse. For one thing, we all needed special glasses. And special they were. We looked like trick-or-treaters and acted like escapees from an old 3D movie. It was a bit like Thanksgiving. Only instead of asking where we were having dinner, everyone asked, “Where are you watching the moon?”
VIEWS
I was lucky. I got an invitation from a book club friend for a front-row seat for moon watching. Actually, it was the only row. She promised a festive atmosphere and was true to her word.
We had two lawn chairs, one bedecked with a baby blue umbrella, and quality snacks on our very own TV trays and a bubbly in a bucket of ice. Just two old ladies partying in the driveway. We were the envy of the neighborhood.
The show started. We thought we were ready. We were not. We both got lost in the
emotionality of something so much bigger than ourselves. I couldn’t get over how I felt. There were two worlds. Behind those special glasses, it seemed I had escaped Earth. I was somewhere in the heavens, away from all the noise and turmoil. Then, I would peek out from under the glasses. Nope. Still here. Still grass, still driveway, still Raintree (neighborhood).
Then came the main event. The sun was totally blocked. We took off the special glasses and watched the shiny ring around the sun. Wow! We were very quiet, as were the birds and the dogs. I can only speak for myself, but you know how at least once a year we wish each other “Peace on Earth?” Well, for about four minutes, as I continued to look up, that’s how it felt. For just a few minutes I felt a little like I did when we first landed on the moon. Like we were united — all of us. There was no Israel/ Hamas; no Russia/Ukraine; no Biden/Trump. There was just the sun, the moon, the Earth and us.
And peace on Earth. It felt really good.

American Legion Post 79 in Zionsville will host the fourth annual Boone County Senior Salute from 6 to 8 p.m. May 13. The event honors Boone County high school graduates who have chosen to serve their country in the U.S. Armed Forces.
HONOR
“Our mission is to bring to light and recognize the courage and commitment of high school graduates who have decided to serve our country after graduation” stated Dr. Matt Weinheimer, Board Chair of BCSS and U.S. Navy veteran.
Weinheimer started BCSS with Dr. Jim Haines, who is also a veteran of the U.S. Navy.
“These young adults have raised their hand and said, ‘I am prepared to give my life for our country.’ Students who later become accomplished in their careers, such as doctors, lawyers and engineers are celebrated, yet military members who have stepped up to serve often are not,” Haines stated.
Any Boone County Indiana high school senior graduating in 2024 and enlisting in the military, joining a ROTC program or attending a service academy who are interested in being honored can contact Weinheimer at bcseniorsalute@gmail.com. The deadline for submission is May 6.
Tickets to the May 13 event are $25 for the general public. Honorees and their immediate families and grandparents are admitted at no charge.
Tickets can be purchased at the Zionsville American Legion, Zionsville Eyecare or online at 2024seniorsalute.eventbrite.com.

In 1955, I happened to live in Germany, a part of the country that had not yet been rebuilt from the ravages of World War II. The closest city, Kaiserslautern, sported a modern train station next to a bombed-out section of the city that still had wartime concrete machine gun bunkers.
I was in the Army at the time, assigned to a MASH unit. However, I spent most of my days working as a medic at the military hospital in Landstuhl. And I lived in a small apartment in the small country village of Kindsbach, about 4 miles distant.
Across the street from my apartment, behind the Catholic church, in a small field sat a Horch automobile. Weeds grew up around it, but you could still make out the swastika that had been painted on the doors, signifying it as one of many German command cars supplied by Horch to the Wehrmacht during the war.
The car intrigued me, and I thought about buying it, fixing it up and taking it back to the U.S. The problem was, no one
would acknowledge that the car even existed, much less who owned it. After all, it was part of a shameful time in Germany. No matter how many times I asked, the answer was always the same, ”Ich weis nicht,” (I don’t know.)
Horch was created by August Horch in 1899 in Cologne, Germany. The company went through a series of iterations and mergers, disappeared at the end of the war, only to emerge again as Audi, which is the Latin word for the German Horchen, or “Listen.” I thought the name Horchen was appropriate for the Nazi regime that controlled German thoughts and actions for so many years.
I came home without the Horch, of course, only to see Audi cars proliferate in the States.
And, in 1964, a classic Horch sold at auction for $299,000.

Guerin Catholic High School senior Dylan Murans knows where he got his drive to succeed.
“Mostly (from) my dad. Knowing that he has played basketball at the Division I level really pushes me to be the best that I can, and obviously the love for the sport that’s never ending,” Murans said. Murans’ father, Paul, played under coach Steve Alford at Missouri State University, which was then Southwest Missouri State University. Murans will achieve his dream to play at the Division I level for Army next season.
“West Point will be a great fit for him because he is very willing to put in the work and he responds very well to instruction and practice,” Guerin Catholic coach Bobby Allen said. “He wants to learn and improve every day, and I think that is what makes him so special. Obviously, he loves basketball and he is a great talent on the court,
Favorite athlete: Ja Morant
Favorite subject: Science
Favorite movie: “The Dark Knight”
Favorite vacation spot: Park City, Utah
Favorite musician: Don Toliver
but he is also a great person and he has an incredible future ahead of him.”
The 6-foot-7 Murans transferred to Guerin from Carmel High School before his junior season. He averaged eight points per game as a junior. He then averaged 10.1 points while making 50 percent of his shots this past season. He raised his rebounding average from 2.7 per game to 3.0 as a senior.
“He was an immediate starter for us and

he learned on the fly,” Allen said. “He is an incredible athlete that has the ability to make plays around the rim that many high school kids are not capable of doing. Every game, he seemed to get more aggressive, especially on the offensive glass. The first time we played Brebeuf, he had two put-
back dunks that I think put everyone on notice.”
Allen said Murans leads with his action and emotion.
“He is a big-time playmaker and has the ability to get the entire team going by his playmaking ability,” Allen said. “His ability to play above the rim but also knock down perimeter shots make him a complete player, and as he develops more, I think he is going to have a huge impact on his team at West Point.”
Murans made 33 percent of his 3-point shots as a senior.
“I’d say most of my improvement throughout the years has been staying under control, and defense,” Murans said.
The Carmel resident said he chose Army because of the coaching staff.
“I had not met a single coach during recruitment that had wanted me as much as Coach (Kevin) Kuwik,” he said. “I had received a letter from him every single day since the beginning of his interest in me. This made our family decide to go out and give it a shot during my visit, and it completely blew me away. That exact point had sold me on just about everything.”
Pam Brettenacher of Zionsville and Jillinda Stella of Carmel have spent a lot of time teaching vocabulary words to their students at West Clay Elementary School in Carmel. But the one word that best fits the two educators is kismet.
Brettenacher became the instructional assistant in Stella’s kindergarten classroom in 2020, and the pair had an instant connection.
“We did as much as we could to brighten it up and do a fun day of learning,” Stella said. “I think our biggest thing is, when we got together, our creativity just started sparking. What I lacked, she made up for, and we just went from there. Making the learning come alive was the biggest thing for us.”
The pair said that while it might sound cheesy, they complete each other when it comes to creating meaningful, engaging instruction for their students.
“We just have a lot of fun together, it just seemed cosmic when we met,” Brettnacher said. “She had all these bubbly ideas, and that just sparked all these images in my mind.”
Stella said frogs were always her critter of choice when it came to classroom decorations that assist in her teaching and learning process at West Clay. With Brettenacher’s background in graphic design and illustration adding personality to those decorations, the story of “Fritz the Frog,” “Birdie the Bee” and all their friends at “Puddle Pond” was born.
“I can say what I want, and she can put it onto paper (artistically),” Stella said.
The pair opened a shop on the website Teachers Pay Teachers, a resource where educators can share and sell materials such as worksheets, classroom decor and educational planners. They generated classroom papers such as worksheets and coloring pages featuring the animals of “Puddle Pond.”
“As we started going along, we realized there is something more here,” Stella said.
The result was the pair’s first book, “Making Friends at Puddle Pond.”
The book follows the story of “Birdie the Bee” as she struggles with being different because she has no stinger. The book explores themes of friendship and overcoming obstacles as Birdie and Fritz get to know each other.
It was a labor of love for both educators, who said the process took about two years of their time and effort including multiple drafts, creating an LLC and contacting publishers. The pair eventually opted to publish on Kindle Direct Publishing, the self-publishing platform for Amazon, which included several redesigns of the book before it was finally ready to be released this past January.
“It was a little intimidating to (self-publish) for the

first time,” Brettnacher said. “I’ve done graphic design for years, so I thought if I’ve prepared files for printing before, surely we can figure this out. It was a little different to learn all their requirements and guidelines.”
Stella and Brettnacher said the book provides an avenue for learning that is also fun, and said they worked to

Jillinada Stella and instructional assistant Pam Brettnacher created the characters of Puddle Pond, including Fritz the Frog, Birdie the Bee and all their friends.
The two main characters in the first book are loosely based off of Stella and Brettnacher, with Fritz having several of what Stella playfully describes as her own “crazier” personality traits while Birdie has Brettnacher’s more calming attributes.
The story follows the themes of making friends, building confidence and overcoming adversity and is written for children ages 2-10.
Stella and Brettnacher will appear at Stories in the Park from 10 a.m. until noon June 7 at Zionsville Lions Park to read the book for elementary students.
“Making Friends at Puddle Pond” is available in paperback on Amazon for $10.50. The book is also available in the libraries at Zionsville and Carmel Clay elementary schools.

In addition to the book, the characters of Puddle Pond are also featured on classroom pages and worksheets that Jillinda Stella and Pam Brettnacher sell on the website Teachers Pay Teachers.
craft a story that was different from the other story books children may have already read while reinforcing lessons taught every week in the classroom.
The pair were also able to turn their journey into self-publishing into a classroom exercise, bouncing ideas off of the students to make sure they were appealing to what the children find interesting, creative and fun while teaching them concepts of storytelling and sequencing.
The children also serve as an inspiration for the storylines for the characters of Puddle Pond.
“You’re in the thick of it every day with these kids, you get to see firsthand the struggles they have,” Stella said. “So you think, I need to put this into a book and give this to Fritz the Frog… Some of the things that he struggles with are literally things that we have happen in the classroom. It’s real, and we make a funny twist and we add in some social-emotional learning and learning and growing as well.”
Stella and Brettnacher are already working on a second book and hope to create an entire series. But while there’s an obvious educational aspect to the adventure, it’s also just fun.
“We do as much laughing as we do writing,” Brettnacher said. “When we got together to work on this book, we talked about ideas and bounced things off of each other and we’d just laugh and have such a good time.”

Someone once said that regret is the desire for a better past. They may be right. Still, what is accomplished in pining for a time that never was, a life that wasn’t lived? As we move on in this world, time strips us of our future. One moment we peer at life in the far distance and in the very next instant, the present blasts by us in a blur, leaving only miles of past behind us. For some, we are grasping the wheel, busy keeping our lives in our own lane enroute to our hoped-for destinations. We are seeking a family, career, adventure or fame. Perhaps we hope for them all.
Others see very little on the road ahead and only desire a route back to that which came before. But on this boulevard, there is no offramp. We drive until the route’s end. If all goes well, we will see the sights, have a bit of fun and share the trip along the way. There is no do-over.
It could be that regret is acknowledgement of the irreversibility of the past. What is done cannot be undone. Still, if there are miles ahead of us, why can’t we use the time that we have to build a new past? If our decisions today become our past tomorrow, what choices would we make if we truly desired one filled with as much joy as imagined possible?
Isn’t it remorse that adds a bitter taste to the flavor of regret, and if so, why do we dwell on what we did yesterday instead of what we can do today? If it’s unrepentant remorse that spawns regret, can we atone and set a course that delivers a personal history not so regrettable? The only constant is change. Future becomes past.

Friends, this week has been a chore. And not a fulfilling chore like mowing the lawn or scrubbing a disgusting bathroom ‘til it shines pretty. Work was boring, my commute to work doubled and the realization that there are still six more weeks until summer hit hard. Blech.
Occasionally, we schedule movies in our history classes to give teachers time to grade papers. We’ve been studying Vietnam and are heading into the Nixon administration, so we showed “The Post.” Normally, I can crank out essays and tests while keeping one eye on the film. But this year, for four periods in a row, I was consistently drawn into the political drama. Curse you, Meryl Streep, for being so compelling! Anyhoo, I accomplished nothing, which really made the week drag.
And since moving into our oldest’s new house in Indy, my commute went from 12 minutes to 30. I don’t know the roads yet, and every morning Google Maps sends me a different route. I also was forced to drive our youngest’s piece of poo Civic, with no adjustable mirrors or radio and a driver’s side door that won’t stay open. Getting to school, especially when it

Finally, my last complaint about inane problems that aren’t actually problems is that our school year doesn’t end until June 3. Meaning I have to come back after Memorial Day and then again after the following weekend. Of course, I’ve known this for a while, but it dawned on me recently that I’m still a good way from summer nirvana. Double blech.
So, yeah, the week was a chore.
Peace out.

For Billy Kimmel, the best description of “Forbidden Broadway” is, it’s the musical version of “Saturday Night Live.”
Kimmel will act and direct Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “Forbidden Broadway,” which runs April 26 to May 12 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The show is a revue with a parody of different Broadway musicals.
Kimmel was on the “Forbidden Broadway” tour for approximately 11 years — through five different versions of it.
Kimmel is joined in the four-person cast by ATI Artistic Director Judy Fitzgerald, ATI co-founder Cynthia Collins and Kieran Danaan. Brent Marty will provide the musical accompaniment.
“The show always has four actors, who are singers and dancers,” Kimmel said.
More than 20 shows are represented in 90 minutes.
“So, it’s pretty brisk,” said Kimmel, who is based in New York City.
The biggest challenges are the 10-second costume changes.
“It’s an aerobic workout, too, because it’s like being shot out of a cannon,” Kimmel said.
This is the seventh time Kimmel has directed with ATI, including previous versions of “Forbidden Broadway.”
The last time he directed “Forbidden Broadway” with ATI was in 2019.
“This show has been going on for 40 years off-Broadway and it’s become sort of an institution to the Broadway community and theater lovers,” Kimmel said. “People come to see shows in New York and make room to see if there is an edition playing to see it. Now, it’s a rite of passage for people that become Broadway stars. If you’re lampooned (in the show), then you’ve made it, so to speak.”
Kimmel said every few years, American playwright Gerald Alessandrini would do
an edition and it would run for a year or two. Then Alessandrini took a break to write “Spamilton: An American Parody” in 2014. Kimmel said Alessandrini wrote a new edition in 2019, but it wasn’t out long because of the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down theater shows in March 2020.
“The show is going to make its Broadway debut this summer, which is a huge deal because it’s always been off-Broadway,” Kimmel said. “He’s writing a whole new show for it, and they are going to have past stars in it. They’re going to come in and do cameos.”
Kimmel said there are numbers that are always in the show, such as “The Lion King” and “Les Misérables.”
“We keep them because they are crowd pleasers and they’re sort of the pillars of the show,” Kimmel said. “In between, we’ve changed things out and freshened it up if there is something new on Broadway and it’s more relevant. It’s hard to do Carol Channing anymore because people under 50 don’t really know her anymore.”
One spoof is on “Annie,” which opened on Broadway in 1977.
“The spoof is ‘Annie is now a granny,’”
Kimmel said. “One of the newer ones is ‘Mary Poppins.’ There is a Mary Martin and Ethel Merman bit that we’ve never done.”
Although the show is a parody with some biting jokes, Kimmel said it’s lighthearted fun.
“(Alessandrini) never wanted people to think we hated Broadway. We’re lampooning it because we adore Broadway,” Kimmel said. “He’s a brilliant parody lyricist.” Danaan, a 29-year-old New York City resident, has never performed in “Forbidden Broadway” but he recalled hearing the numbers for the first time when he was around 10 years old. He said the costume changes are difficult, but the hardest part for him is learning all the words.
“It’s costumes on top of costumes,” Danaan said. “It’s all songs we know the Broadway lyrics to, but it’s relearning the songs with the ‘Forbidden Broadway’ lyrics. You only have time to think about what you are doing and then you move on to the next thing. It’s exhausting but it’s so much fun.”
His favorite number is his solo spoofing “Memories” from “Cats.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana will rely on a tried-and-true formula for its 202425 season.
“When we were designing the season, it was important to us to do what we do best and what our audiences love most — and that is fun, funny, uplifting musicals,” Associate Artistic Director Darrin Murrell said.
Murrell said. A third is a smaller, newer musical with a mystery.
The last type of show is the large-scale Broadway show that has been scaled down to uniquely fit in the Studio Theater space, Murrell said.
Murrell said the season is dubbed legends, laughter and love.
“We also honed in on four types of shows that ATI has historically done incredibly successfully and has gotten a lot of audience feedback,” Murrell said. “One of those is the jukebox musical, sort of the soundtrack of our lives, so there is one of those in the mix.”
Another type is the Broadway classics reinvented for the Studio Theater stage,
The 2024-25 season begins with “Ring of Fire” from Sept 13-29, featuring the music of the legendary Johnny Cash. That will be followed by “She Loves Me” Nov. 1-17. The 2025 portion includes “Whodunit” Jan. 31 to Feb. 16, 2025, and “9 to 5: The Musical” April 25 to May 11.
“Ring of Fire” will include different actors portraying Cash at different times in his life.
“She Loves Me” started on Broadway in 1963 and was revived in 2016.
“Whodunit” is a murder mystery by longtime Broadway actor and playwright Ed Dixon.
Dolly Parton composed the music for “9 to 5: The Musical,” based on the 1980 movie. For more, visit atistage.org.
Tonya Rave has a personal attachment to “The Dinner Party.”
PLAYThe Lawrence resident acted in the production at Center Stage in Lebanon approximately 10 years ago under the direction of Will Pullins, who died in 2018.
“I enjoyed this Neil Simon play because it’s not as wellknown as others that are typically done in community theater, and also to honor that director,” Rave said.
Rave is the co-director of Carmel Community Players’ production of “The Dinner Party ‘’ with her friend Matt Trgovac. The performances run from April 26 to May 5 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel. The story involves three divorced couples at the same dinner party.
Rave said. “It’s got some things that border on farce.”
Rave said she worked with Trgovac on another CCP production and decided they wanted to direct together because they have complementary styles.
“It (has) good comedic and dramatic elements to it, so I like a blend of the two,”
For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the Center’s Fifth Third Bank Box Office at the Palladium, call 317.843.3800 or visit atistage.org.
“I label it as a poignant comedy,” Trgovac said.
“I prefer to do plays that have a certain message.” Carmel resident Jason Creighton plays Andre.
“It’s a character I don’t get cast in much,” Creighton said. “He’s never comical, even though this is a comedy. He’s a womanizer and business owner, very upper crust. Most of his comedy is sarcasm at the expense of others, so just carrying myself that way and having that air about me is fun to do.”
Indianapolis resident Grant Bowen, plays an aspiring writer named Claude.
“What I love about this show is it’s such a beautiful yet sad story,” Bowen said. For more, visit carmelplayers.org.
As Charles Conrad conducts his penultimate concert as the Indiana Wind Symphony music director, it’s fitting that a new piece of music pays homage to his legacy.
“There is a piece in honor of the fact that I founded the Wind Symphony 27 years ago and the composer David Sartor is going to be conducting,” Conrad said. “We’ve played several of his works and we got a chance to premiere a couple of them.”
Purdue University All-American Marching Band. Conrad is retiring after this season and Gephart will inherit Conrad’s role.
Conrad said composer Mark Wolfram will be in the audience for his piece “Vertical Planes,” which will feature solos by Larry Purdue, French horn; Brian Hoover, trumpet; Mike Villano, trombone; and Bill Schmidt, tuba.
The piece called “Vision” by Sartor, from Nashville, Tenn., will premiere in “Springtime Celebration” at 6:30 p.m. April 28 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
“It’s got a mixture of different styles and different textures,” Conrad said of the program.
Conrad is conducting eight pieces while Jay Gephart, who takes over as music director for the 2024-25 season, will conduct three pieces. Gephart is the director of the
The IWS concert opens with Frank Panella’s “The Polar Sun” from 1908. It also plays a German march, “The Sun Eagle.”
Conrad said the pieces were played by IWS April 8 during the City of Carmel Solar Eclipse program.
Two 1924 marches by John Philip Sousa are in the first half of the concert. They are “Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company” and “Marquette University March.”
Other pieces include “Rain Softly on Me” by Julie Giroux and one by French composer Lili Boulanger.
The IWS will close its season May 19 with “Finales and Fanfare.”

WHEREAS, pursuant to Indiana Code 13-26 TriCo Regional Sewer Utility (Utility) is a regional sewer district that owns, operates, manages and controls a sewage works and related facilities to collect, convey, treat and dispose of wastewater from residences, businesses, industries and institutions located within the boundaries of the Utility’s service area; and
WHEREAS, Indiana Code 13-26-11 authorizes the Utility’s Board of Trustees to adopt by ordinance a just and equitable schedule of rates, fees, and charges for sewer services rendered by the Utility, and may adjust its schedule of rates, fees, and charges by ordinance after notice and public hearing; sand
WHEREAS, based upon a financial analysis conducted by Utility staff and recommended by LWG CPAs and Advisors, the Board of Trustees desires to update the rates, fees, and charges previously established pursuant to Ordinance 05-9-2022.
Now, therefore, be it ordained by the Board of Trustees of TriCo Regional Sewer Utility, Indiana:
Section 1. Every person or entity whose premises are served by the sewage works shall be charged for the services provided. These charges are established in order that the Utility shall recover, from each user, revenue which is proportional to its use of the treatment works in terms of volume and load. User charges are levied to defray the cost of operation and maintenance (including replacement) of the sewage works.
Section 2. For the use of and the service rendered by said sewage works, rates and charges shall be collected from the owners of each and every lot, parcel of real estate or building that is connected to and discharges, either directly or indirectly, sanitary sewage, industrial wastes, water or other liquids into said sewage works. Any customer may, at his or her sole expense, install and maintain metering devices approved by the Utility (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) for determining the industrial wastes, water or other liquids discharged by said customer into said sewage works. The rates and charges to be collected by the Utility and paid by the customer shall include user charges, debt service costs, excessive strength surcharges and other service charges, which rates and charges shall be payable as hereinafter provided and shall be in an amount determinable as follows:
(a) Metered Users:
For users of the sewage works who are served by a metered water supply whose sewage discharge flows into the sewage works is measured by a metering device approved by the Utility, the sewage rates and charges shall consist of a Treatment Rate based upon the quantity of sewage flow discharged into the sewage works as measured by said sewage flow measuring device then in use, and a Base Rate based on the size of the water meter(s) through which such user receives water utility service. For users of the sewage works whose sewage discharge flow into the sewage works is not measured, but whose water supply is metered, the sewage rates and charges shall consist of a Treatment Rate based upon the water used on or in the property or premises subject to such sewage rates and charges, as the same is measured by the water meter(s) through which such user receives water utility service, and a Base Rate based upon the size of the water meter(s) through which such user receives water utility service. For the purpose of billing and collecting the charges for sewage service, the water meter(s) or sewage flow measuring device shall be read monthly (or period equaling a month). The sewage rates and charges for said users shall be the sum of the Treatment Rate and the applicable Base Rate as set forth in the attached exhibits for each service area.
(b) Unmetered Users:
For users of the sewage works that are unmetered water users or accurate meter readings are not available, the monthly charge shall be determined as an average of single-family dwelling units, except as herein provided. Sewage service bills shall be rendered once each month (or a period equaling a month). The rate shall include a base rate according to the estimated meter size as listed above plus an estimated treatment charge as outlined on the schedule of rates and charges set forth in the attached exhibits for each service area.
*Residential customers with a 3/4-inch meter or 1-inch meter shall be charged a base charge for a 5/8 inch meter. A residential customer shall mean a user of the sewage works whose premises or connected building is used primarily as a single-family residence.
Unmetered Users: User Charge
Residential: Single family residence/unit $36.33
Duplexes $72.66
(c) In the event a lot, parcel of real estate or building discharging sanitary sewage, industrial wastes, water or other liquids in the sewage works, either directly or indirectly, has a metered water supply and in addition, is a user of water from another source which is not measured by a water meter or is measured oy a meter not acceptable to the Utility, then the amount of water used shall be otherwise measured or determined by the Utility. In order to ascertain the rates or charges, the owner or other interested party shall, at its expense, install and maintain measuring devices approved by the Utility for the determination of sewage discharge.
(d) In the event two or more residential lots, parcels of real estate, or buildings discharging sanitary sewage, water or other liquids into the sewage works, either directly or indirectly, are users of water and the quantity of water is measured by a single water meter, then in each such case, for billing purposes, the quantity of water used shall be averaged for each user and the base charge, the flow rates and charges and minimum charge shall apply to each of the number of residential lots, parcels of real estate or buildings served through the single water meter.
(e) In the event a lot, parcel of real estate or building discharging sanitary sewage, industrial waste, water or other liquids into the sewage works either directly or indirectly, and uses water in excess of 10,000 gallons per month, and it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Utility that a portion of the water as measured by the water meter or meters does not and cannot enter the sewage works, then the owner or other interested party shall, at its expense, install and maintain a metering device approved by the Utility for the determination of actual quantity discharged to the sewage works.
(f) In the event two or more dwelling units such as mobile homes, apartments, or housekeeping rooms discharging sanitary sewage, water, or other liquids into the sewage works, either directly or indirectly, are users of water and the quantity of water is measured by one or more water meters, then in such case billing shall be for a single service in the manner set elsewhere herein, except than in addition to the computed monthly bill: the number of dwelling units with two or more bedrooms multiplied by the monthly base rate for a 5/8-inch water meter shall be included, plus the number of one-bedroom dwelling units multiplied by 0.75 and the monthly base rate for a 5/8-inch water meter shall be included. In the case of mobile home courts, the number of dwelling units shall be computed and added to any other dwelling units served through the meter(s). A dwelling unit shall be interpreted as a room or rooms or any other space or spaces in which cooking facilities are provided.
(g) In order to recover the cost of monitoring industrial wastes, the Utility shall charge the user the actual cost of the monitoring. This charge will be reviewed and revised on the same basis as all other rates and charges in the ordinance.
(h) Where the Utility determines that a customer’s sewage, water, or other liquids discharged into the sewage works exceeds any limits established in the Utility’s current Sewer Use Ordinance, the Utility shall, at its sole discretion, determine and apply additional charges for treating the stronger-than-normal waste, and charge the customer for any costs to determining user-specific waste strength.
(i) Such rates and charges shall be prepared, billed and collected by the Utility in the manner provided by law and any other applicable ordinance. The rates and charges for all users shall be prepared and billed monthly. The rates and charges may be billed to the tenant or tenants occupying properties served, unless otherwise requested in writing by the owner, but such billing shall in no way relieve the owner from liability in the event payment is not
made as herein required. The owner of the property or properties served, which are occupied by a tenant or tenants, shall have the right to examine the collection records of the Utility for the purpose of determining whether bills have been paid by such tenant or tenants.
(j) Rates and charges established herein shall apply to each and every lot, parcel of real estate or building connected to the sewage works and located within the Utility’s service area. Rates and charges applicable to all lots, parcels of real estate, buildings, or utilities connected to the sewage works and located outside the Utility’s service area shall be incorporated in and established by separate agreement with interested parties.
(k) For the service rendered to TriCo Regional Sewer Utility, said Utility shall be subject to the same rates and charges herein above provided, or to rates and charges established in harmony therewith.
Section 3. The Return Check Charge for NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) shall be charged in the amount of $30.00 per check.
Section 4. Any current charges on the monthly user invoice that remain unpaid after the listed due date shall be assessed a late fee. The late fee assessed will be 10% of the unpaid current charges. This fee will be added to the following month’s user invoice.
Section 5. A Reinspection fee of $100.00 shall be charged to the property owner for each reinspection if a property fails an inspection or requires more than two inspections.
Section 6. An application fee of One Hundred Fifty Dollar ($150.00) per EDU, up to a maximum of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) per permit, is due and payable at the time of submittal or issuance of the connection permit. Requested revisions to previously issued permits shall be considered a new permit and shall be subject to the application fee of $150.00.
Section 7. Utility Wide Connection Fee
Prior to receiving a permit to connect to Utility sewer, the owner, lessee or developer of any real estate within the Utility’s service area shall pay to the Utility a connection fee of Two Thousand Eighty- Three Dollars ($2,083.00) per EDU. Wherever practical the Utility shall utilize Indiana Administrative Code 327 IAC 3-6-11 to determine estimated average daily flow, based upon 310 gallons per day per EDU, and the proposed use of the real estate to be served. The minimum connection fee per parcel is one EDU.
The owner, lessee or developer of the real estate may submit data to the Utility which purports to provide a more accurate estimation of the average daily flow (for example from water bills or other actual data setting forth flow from similar facilities). BOD, suspended solids, and other wastewater loadings may similarly be considered. Upon receipt and review of the data provided, the Utility may, in its absolute discretion, agree to an EDU amount that is other than the amount determined as specified above. The Utility may review real estate’s usage from time to time; if real estate is found to exceed the previously agreed amount, then upon notice by the Utility, the owner, lessee, or developer of said real estate shall promptly pay Utility the difference in EDUs at the current rate. Any change in use or additions, renovations or alterations of said real estate may trigger review of usage by the Utility.
Residential lots previously containing a dwelling that was connected to the Utility’s sanitary sewers and having paid a monthly sewer service billing are exempt from the connection charge in the event the dwelling is demolished, and new residential dwelling built on the same real estate.
Section 8. Utility Wide Interceptor Fee
In addition to the connection charge set forth above based upon EDU’s there is also due prior to the receipt of a permit, an Interceptor Fee of Four Thousand Seventy-five Dollars ($4,075.00) per acre.
Residential lots previously containing a dwelling that was connected to the Utility’s sanitary sewers and having paid a monthly sewer service billing are exempt from the Interceptor Fee in the event the dwelling is demolished, and new residential dwelling built on the same real estate. Lots and parcels that are part of a Utility neighborhood sewer extension project in which local sewer charges are assessed by ordinance are also exempt.
Section 9. Prior Schedule of Monthly User Charges
This ordinance shall preempt, supersede, and wholly replace Ordinance 05-9-2022 and any other prior Ordinances of the Utility as the same may be amended from time to time by the Utility. Nothing in the Ordinance shall be construed as limiting the applicability of the Utility’s various use ordinances or other definitions or terms contained in other Ordinances, with exception only to the specific Schedule of Monthly User Charges set forth therein.
Section 10. The invalidity of any section, clause, sentence, or provision of this Ordinance shall not affect the validity of any part of this Ordinance which can be given effect without such invalid part or parts.
Section 11. The revised rates shall become effective for service received June 1, 2024, and thereafter.
On April 4, 2024, Duke Energy Indiana, LLC filed a Petition with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) in Cause No. 46038 respectfully petitioning the Commission for authority pursuant to Ind.
