Per the Dearborn County Board of Commissioners a county wide burn ban is now in effect for Dearborn County. This ban will remain in effect until rescinded from the commissioners. This decision was made due to the continued lack of rainfall, high temperatures, and high humidity. It was felt that these conditions have dried vegetation to the point it may easily combust and thus become a fire hazard. The fire chiefs in Dearborn County were asked their opinion and a vast majority is in favor of a burn ban. Pursuant to Dearborn County Ordinance § 96.01(B), effective immediately the following activities are prohibited in Dearborn County: 1. Campfires and any other form of recreation fire unless said fires are enclosed in a fire ring measuring at least 23 inches in diameter and 10 inches or more in height. 2. Open burning of any kind using wood or any other combustible matter, with the exception of cooking grills fueled by charcoal briquettes or propane gas. Charcoal from permitted grills shall not be removed from a grill until the charcoal has been thoroughly extinguished. 3. Open burning of any kind of debris, such as timber, vegetation, building constructions waste or otherwise, with the exception of burning barrels with a 1⁄4 inch mesh top and said burning shall be permitted from dawn to dusk only; and 4. Subject to Indiana Code § 22-11-14-10.5, the usage of consumer fireworks. Any individual or entity found in violation of this section shall be subject to a fine of not less than $200 but not more than $1,000, plus applicable court costs.

After a rainy spring and early summer, we’re excited to share that construction is finally set to begin on the new tennis court and pickleball courts at Greendale Park !

The new lamppost was named Art in honor of Arthur Schnebelt who donated the land that is now Schnebelt Park. After gathering public input through a recent community poll, we’re excited to officially introduce the name of Greendale’s fisherman-style lamppost: Art—short for Arthur Schnebelt, whose generous land donation created Schnebelt Park. While “Art” received the most votes, the name Tanner emerged as a heartfelt and meaningful runner-up. Inspired by a young man, Tanner Hennen, who loved fishing and whose life ended far too soon, the name resonated deeply with many in our community. In honor of that support and Tanner’s memory, Mayor Karsteter has directed the installation of a memorial bench near the Greendale Utility Building, creating a peaceful space for reflection and remembrance. A memorial bench was created outside of the Greendale Utilities Building and dedicated to Tanner Hennen. We’re proud to be part of a community that not only values its history, but also honors its people with compassion and care. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped shape this meaningful outcome.
