It happens every year about this time.  Getting a popular restaurant table is much easier this week.  Public meetings are virtually non-existent.  This is the week of spring break in Fishers, with Hamilton Southeastern students and teachers enjoying a break from classes.

This is also the time of year when you see pictures on social media from people you know in Fishers out on the beach in places like Florida and Hawaii.  In other words, it’s this time of year that the rest of us endure a late March snowfall and jealously watch our friends and neighbors bask in the warm sun.

There are a few things to note as we entire the heart of spring break week.

First, when roads became slick in some places as snow began to fall Saturday evening, a car left 96th Street at Georgia Road and slid into a ditch filled with water.  There were some injuries but none were described as life-threatening.

Also, Fishers Police have been posting warnings about thefts from local residential mailboxes.  Some Indy-area media outlets have posted stories about this.  Just be careful and keep an eye out for any mail thieves in your neighborhood.

Thirdly, a report posted by the Associated Press and WRTV says a former employee of the Fishers Goodwill story has been sentenced on charges of secretly recording bathroom videos of workers.  Richie Hodges was sentenced to 12 years in prison.  According to the Associated Press story, Hodges agreed to the destruction of his desktop computer, laptop and external hard drives that had been seized during the investigation, as part of a plea agreement.

So, we are hopefully in for a laid-back week on the news front.
