911 use topic of crime watch meeting

If you are interested in learning about the 911 emergency line and how it can help deter crime in Eagle Nest, please plan to attend a free meeting at 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 12, at Castleton United Methodist Church, 7101 N. Shadeland Ave. (Enter door #2 to the right of the main entrance).

The guest speaker is Diana Vanarsdall of the Marion County Sheriffs Office/911 Communications. The objective of the meeting is to have an open discussion about how 911 is organized, how it works best and the reluctance some residents have to call until it may be too late.

The following questions likely will be discussed:
Have you ever called 911?
Have you ever not called 911 but later wished that you did?
What kept you from calling?
What information should you be prepared to provide when you dial 911?
What are the six W's of 911? (who, what, when, where, why and weapons?)

The event is sponsored by the Crime Watch Committee of Castleton Estates Homeowners Association. Many residents of Castleton Estates and Castle Cove are expected to attend.

Eagle Nest is in the process of rebuilding its Crime Watch efforts, so if you are interested in helping please contact ENPOA President Scott Thien at (317) 902-3103.

See you Dec. 12! In the meantime, if you see something -- say something! Call 911!

Hello, Eagle Nesters! The Board hopes your spring is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe with all the cold, rainy weather of April that the Pool will be open in barely a month. In preparation for that, it’s time to share a few updates about the 2024 swim season: Nearly a dozen residents turn out to deep clean the Pool A huge thanks goes out to the volunteer team led by Bittern Lane residents John and Cindy Spicklemire for organizing a deep clean of Pool facility on Saturday, April 27. The team of 12 spent hours power washing the chairs to address years of sunblock stains and removing wall grime, while others pulled weeds, cleaned the tables and swept up debris. In return, the Board brought in Jimmy John’s sandwiches, chips and water to keep our cleaning crew fueled up. That was a small price to pay for what would have cost thousands of dollars in labor and time to hire a contractor to do the same work. Be sure to give these neighbors a hearty thanks for their cleanup efforts: J...

Memorial Day is coming – and that means Pool season is upon us! We have lots to tell about our opening plans, so here goes: Pool opening: Noon to 8 p.m., Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. Due to scheduling issues with our pool company, it was a scramble to get the facility power washed, cleaned and filled, so the water may be a little cold. Fingers crossed the rain holds off. Pool Party: Noon to 2 p.m. Memorial Day. Free hotdogs, chips, popsicles, lemonade, and beer for the adults. Weather: Given the rainy weather forecast for Monday, watch the blog and Facebook page for updates on postponements or closures. New Pool fobs: All residents in good standing can pick up their new Pool fobs from noon to 8 p.m. Monday. Board members will be set up on the concrete pad outside the gate. Be sure to bring your ID and lot number. Reminder: Only residents whose dues have been paid and cleared can obtain fobs. Want more fob info? Check your mailbox. This week, all residents were mailed a Q&A docum...
