The Casteel residence is on South Hill Avenue on the east side of the Hill Place/Aspen Ridge site.
The removal of trees and brush along the riparian zone of the Town Branch causes the water temperature to rise and teams with the siltation that makes the stream shallow to reduce the water's fish population. In fact, such species as rock bass and smallmouth bass no longer are caught there. Even red horse suckers and green sunfish are now rare in such parts of this stream and other tributaries of the West Fork of the White River that flow from urban areas.

Hill Place ought to use that photo to promote their student-housing project. Graduate students with school-age kids will want to move there. Ten years ago, they could have sent their young ones to Bates School, about 200 yards from that silted-in fishing hole, Ramay junior high about a mile away or Fayetteville High School about 300 yards away.
Now the kids in that area get bused half-way to Lake Wedington for elementary school, but the walking is still easy to the high school, at least for another year!
