Steuerwald Signs Term Limits Pledge

Indiana State Represenetative for District 40, Greg Steuerwald, has committed support for term limits on Congress by signing the Term Limits Convention pledge.

U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the national, non-partisan movement to limit terms for elected officials, is gathering support from state lawmakers across the nation.

USTL President, Philip Blumel, commented on Steuerwald’s pledge saying, “Greg’s support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to listen to the majority of voters who want term limits. America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians.”

The U.S. Term Limits pledge is provided to candidates and members of state legislatures. It reads, “I pledge that, as a member of the state legislature, I will cosponsor, vote for, and defend the resolution applying for an Article V convention for the limited purpose of enacting term limits on Congress.” __________

The Republican

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner takes items from

The Republican’s Yester-Year column to develop an interesting, informative and often humorous article.

To the Editor: Danville’s young men were “loafing around town” in the stores and on street corners in November 1896, and The Republican recommended organizing a debate club.

The idle lads could learn something about “the leading questions of the day.”

I don’t pretend to presume Danville ever produced any arguifiers attaining the pinnacle epitomized by Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin.

Mr. and Mrs. S.C. Trueblood hosted a February 1886 meeting of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle where the debate topic was “Resolved: that the Progress and Culture of the present, are gained at the expense of the hearty enjoyment of ‘the good old days of yore.’”

Mrs. Tomlin took the affirmative stance while Mrs. Trueblood was the negative.

Dear Editor knows about the Dwarf Debating Club of North Salem. I question whether the town possessed enough dwarfs to form a club, but I’m confident more than enough trolls under township bridges were available.

All I found on-line about dwarf debating was dwarf tossing, which is truly passe, and the debate over brown dwarfs and giant gaseous planets.

In October 1885, that club debated, “Resolved, that the World is growing morally better.” Team-taking the Affirmative: G.W. Robbins, Mollie Fleece and Otis E. Gulley.

Opposing: L.L. Erganbright, Jessie Gulley and J.W. Trotter.

As with the CLSC, I’ve no idea what was said or who was declared the winner.

Central Normal’s R.&S. Society gave an “entertainment” in the Normal Hall in July 1885. There were songs, a debate and a farce, “The Irish Linen Peddler,” by Thomas S. Denison.

The Republican declared, “It was decided by many to be the most laughable entertainment given during the year.”

I’ve no knowledge of this 1879 two-act play, but I located the script. Briefly, it involves Pat O’Doyle, an Irish linen peddler with a bit of an accent, a farmhouse, confusion, a valise mix-up, and Mollie elopes with Pat. I’d prefer watching a farce rather than bloviating pomposities debating their bias-laden views. Vaccination? Immigration? Climate change? No one wins. I’ll have none of it.

Danville has ample pontificators, but when was its last good farce? The Court House rotunda could host a limited-house performance in the round, with second- and third-story seats.

Yes, check everyone for knives and guns, but for the price of admission I’m sure some would leave their precious weapons at home for an hour or two.

Rather than direct this masterpiece myself, I would defer to someone who can properly pronounce “theatuh.”

Warm-up act: contestants drawn from the audience recite “Fox in Socks” by Dr. Seuss, with two or more flavored ice cubes in their mouths.

Four “able speakers” took on a Central Normal challenge debate in June 1885: “Resolved, That there is more pleasure in memory than hope.”

The outcome? ”The decision was rendered in favor of the negative.”

Again, if only we could locate a transcript. There were, after all, court reporters back then. Was the town plagued with scrivener’s palsy?

Much of the debating back then was under Central Normal auspices. Country folk likely confined themselves to sitting in the mercantile spitting on the stove and hauling out tall tales, or private piety.

In May 1885, the Dwarf and Commercial No. 3 sections of the Central Normal Debate Department jointly contested in Room F, “one of the largest recitation rooms in the building,” and it was too small for a crowd “anxious to hear the fiery discussion.”

Then in the Chapel, the Indiana section vied with the Illinois section, “favored by an attentive audience of 400 or 500 persons.”

Sadly, “the want of facts” kept The Republican from sharing the precise oratorical gymnastics demonstrated. However, “the art of debating is practical; there is perhaps no calling in life in which the knowledge acquired by the study of this branch is not beneficial, and in all professional pursuits is one of the essentials.”

Tell that to Congressional nincompoops hurling flames and excreta to see what sticks, having no real idea what is expected of them.

There was the threat of debating the morality of Clayton’s skating rink in March 1885 – in the paper – but that likely would have devolved into an Aykroyd-Curtin spectacle.

Publisher’s Point of View

A Great Lunch

Now that we have two topics under our belt for the Start Talking series, I wanted to get back together with our guest writers to discuss how the exercise is going.

Since neither is being paid for their participation in this series (we wouldn’t want money to influence their perspectives or potentially put them in a higher tax bracket), the newspaper Men at work? The Start Talking trio discussed matters of offered to pay for lunch. importance over lunch. Left to right: Jerry Vornholt, Phil Gulley Of course, the Progressive and David Winters. writer suggested we eat at the not so plebeian Charbono’s in Avon.

People are talking about this series. Even young people are reading it in the newspaper and telling us they like it. We are purposely not posting this series online, the reason for which will be shared with you further into the series. The series is also a good tool for having more in-depth discussions that tend to go beyond the essays. If you are a teacher with students interested in why each “side” feels the way they do, read these out loud and discuss each paragraph. You will be amazed at the discussions that follow.

As for Charbono’s lunch, I will admit a little apprehension on my part. We hadn’t met since the first meeting and two topics later it was crystal clear our guests were viewing each topic through different lenses. But, what a great lunch. As we were discussing everything from our kids and families to whether there should be term limits, I made a mental note on just how much we all had in common.

Team Rubicon and Afghan Refugees: What Makes America Great

Dating from the time of Julius Caesar, the phrase, “crossing the Rubicon” came to mean any group that commits to a risky course of action. In 2010, a devastating earthquake occured in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

A group of eight volunteers crossing the Artibonite river, between the two countries, called themselves “Team Rubicon” to honor their committment to helping those in need.

That small group has grown into Team Rubicon Disaster Response. They recently helped with resettlement operations for Afghan refugees in Indiana. Learn more about their missions and how you can contribute at teamrubiconusa.org.

Dear Hoosiers, Four months ago, we walked into an empty warehouse in southern Johnson County, Indiana.

Down the road, thousands of Afghans were streaming into Camp Atterbury after a terrifying and traumatic escape from their country. For years, many of them worked alongside the U.S. military and/or government officials, doing what they could to help to stabilize their country.

Now they were in the United States, forced to leave everything behind because they stood by America’s side.

As one Team Rubicon volunteer said: “They made a conscious choice to help the American troops for hopes of betterment of their country and their lives, and I think we owe it to them to continue and uphold our end of it.”

For Team Rubicon assisting with others on Operation Allies Welcome was a new type of mission.

We’re a veteran-led organization built to serve at-risk and vulnerable populations affected by disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and wildfires. Think cutting tornado downed trees, tarping wind damaged roofs, and pushing mud out water-logged homes.

But this mission was different, it was new, and there was no roadmap to refer to. Before it was over Team Rubicon would assist at 10 separate locations across the United States with the ultimate task of conducting donations management support. Working in a warehouse collecting, sorting, and providing donated items to recently displaced individuals all in an effort to help, all amid a pandemic.

We reacted, we went, we did that which was necessary to accomplish the mission thereby providing the generous outpouring of donations from the citizens of Indiana to our nation’s newest Guests.

Hoosiers demonstrated their hospitality by quickly providing new, meaningful, items towards this effort. These consistent acts of generosity by each person, organization, or group brought not only much needed items to our Guests, but also the hope and promise of a much better beginning then their most recent end.

In just a few weeks, our warehouse was bursting with new diapers, toothbrushes, and shampoos, along with an increasing number of socks, shirts and pants. Over 2 million items of donated goods were processed at the warehouse assisting Camp Atterbury. Almost the entirety provided by the people of the state of Indiana. Each item a sacrifice of someone’s time and money, given to assist another start a new life.

In addition to the material goods came the new Team Rubicon members, people of Indiana who raised their hand, saying “pick me, I want to help.” Close to 250 individual Team Rubicon volunteers assisted over the course of these four months. Many of these individuals were new to Team Rubicon, the majority of them from Indiana, and all of them willing to give of their time, their ability, and their heart. Each open to sweat in the heat of September and shiver in the cold of December to sort, pack, and process the mountains of donated items provided through the generosity of their friends, neighbors and fellow Hoosiers.

Donations came from every corner of the state. Faith communities, charitable organizations, civic groups, businesses, families, children, veterans and others dropped off items at Indiana armories across the state, our collection site at Johnson County Park or in some other fashion ensuring that the donations made it to our warehouse. Many of you give often, returning time and time again to demonstrate your Hoosier Hospitality.

Our mission, to receive, sort, and prepare for distribution all donated items in support of Operation Allies Welcome, would not have succeeded the way it did without the support of Indiana State Leadership, namely Gov. Eric Holcomb along with the Military Leaders at Camp Atterbury, National and Stage Agencies, and other Non-Governmental Organizations. Each knew their role and executed their duties with the intent to serve. It has been amazing to work for and alongside each and every one involved and to witness the care and sensitivity demonstrated to our Guests.

At Team Rubicon, we often say our actions are characterized by the constant pursuit to prevent or alleviate human suffering and restore human dignity – we help people on their worst day.

Hoosiers, you did that! It was YOU who lifted up and gave support to our Afghan guests which was beyond anything we could imagine. But you know this is only the first phase. We trust that you will continue to support our Afghan allies as they settle in your communities and across our country by continuing to demonstrate Hoosier Hospitality.

We share all of this to say Thank You for stepping into the arena with us. For demonstrating that Hoosier Hospitality is more than a tag line. For meeting and exceeding the need, and for giving hope and showing love to others.

May each recipient never forget your compassionate and generous giving as we will never forget all that you have shown us.

In gratitude, Russ Hessler, Task Force Leader Tyler Smith, Liaison Team Rubicon, Camp Atterbury

Cascade Wrestling Team at State Competition

By Melissa Gibson

For the first time in Cascade High School history, the Cascade wrestling team was invited to compete at the 1A State Tournament competition at Martinsville High School over the weekend.

It was a close call, as Cascade defeated Daleville 56-23 in round one and went on to a championship round against Rochester.

The opposing team defeated Cascade in a 41-24 victory.

However, the experience of a state tournament and the support the team has seen from the community is a win in itself.

“This is the first time any team has ever competed for a state title in school history,” said Coach Quinn Harris. “We’ve had a really good year and I’ve watched them really grow as a team and create bonds with each other.”

It’s been a tough 18 months for the students at Cascade High School.

In April of 2021, junior wrestler Kadeo Lewis passed away from Epstein-Barr virus which triggered a rare disease called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

He had also developed T-cell lymphoma.

Just a few months later, in Dec. of 2021, Bryce King, assistant football coach at Cascade High School was killed in a car accident.

“This is my first year at Cascade, so I wasn’t here at the time, but it’s very obvious how these kids talk about Kadeo and how they viewed him,” Harris said.

“Within 18 months, they’ve really dealt with some big things. We’ve used this sport and this season to try to do what people who ar-

en’t here would have wanted us to do.”

In fact, last week was Senior Night at the high school and students and staff celebrated Lewis’ life.

A sea of orange worn by the crowd represented the disease awareness in honor of Lewis.

“We also sold 300 shirts for state competition. I’m blown away,” Harris said.

“I’ve coached at other schools that are larger and have never sold 300 shirts so that tell me there are a lot of people that care about this and are thinking about us. It’s a big thing.”

The team also boasts three wrestlers in the top 25 state rankings.

Logan Bickel is ranked 12th for the 113 lb. class.

He’s 32-1 for the season and went 3-1 over the weekend.

Michael Hutchinson is ranked 22nd for the 160 lb. class. He’s 27-3 for the season and went 3-0 over the weekend.

Liam Farmer is ranked 15th for the 182 lb. class.

He’s 32-1 for the season and went 4-0 over the weekend.

“After having the weekend to reflect, I’m just so proud of these guys and it was a really great experience. We have one, Logan Schnarr who really went above and beyond. He was 4-0 over the weekend with

By Melissa Gibson The Plainfield-Guilford Township Library has long since had a robust photography collection and selection of historical archives in the Indiana Room.

As Sarah Wright, a historian and assistant in the Indiana Room worked with members of the community, answering questions about the history of Plainfield, she decided to write an updated book from the prospective of the various historical buildings in the town.

“Answering those kinds of questions piqued my interest and we have an older book on historic buildings that really needed to be updated, so I decided to research. I thought looking at Plainfield’s buildings might be an interesting way to do it,” Wright said.

She took nearly three years, combing through old newspaper articles and learning names, dates and of course, the people of Plainfield’s long history.

“There were so many stories, like someone taking their horses into the hardware store in town. There was a promotion in the 1920’s when the ‘human fly’ climbed up the outside of the hardware building and there’s the old Methodist Church and its bell in the tower. The Methodist Church as since moved on, but the bell is still there because they couldn’t get the bell out of the tower, which

was too big for it,” Wright said.

Wright said the most difficult part of writing the book, entitled “50 Historic Buildings of Plainfield, Indiana: The Place and the People” was just that – narrowing it down to 50 buildings.

The book will be indexed (a big plus for librarians and historians), will have many photos and will be published in part through grants received from the Hendricks County Community Foundation and the Indiana Genealogical Society.

Plainfield, Indiana dates back to 1833 when the town was laid out, platted and the first lots were sold. Members of the community attempted to incorporate in 1839 but when that failed, the town reverted back to township government. The town officially came to be in 1904.

With such a rich history, many in the community remember what the older buildings use to be. There’s a nostalgia in viewing photos of the Main Street dirt road and horses and buggies stopped at local hardware and grocery stores. In fact, Wright found details of the first speed limit in town, established at 8 mph.

“One thing that really impressed me was how connected everyone in early Plainfield was. We have networks today but back then, it was such a small town, it really was everyone knew everyone. It was like putting together a jigsaw puzzle and the sheer connectedness of everyone was really impressive,” Wright said.

Feedback has been positive as the community has learned of the project and Wright hopes those that pick up a copy learn more about their community and how we got from there to where we are today.

Books will be available by the end of January in the Indiana Room at the Plainfield Guilford-Township Library, and there is a suggested donation of $20 to pick one up for your home.

What’s in a Name?

Stories behind Hendricks County Place Names

By Jackie Horn

What’s in a name? History for one thing. The people who settled Hendricks County, and those took part its growth, provided a variety of names for towns, neighborhoods, schools, roads, and geographic features. For your entertainment and education, this occasional column will name names and tell about how they came to be named.

_____________________________________________ Other finds for the day included abandoned bird nests, deer tracks, squirrel nests, and Osage oranges.

This year seems to have been a great year for the Osage orange. There were piles of them. I don’t recall ever seeing so many! This thorny shrub/tree is native to Indiana, tolerates poor soil, and doesn’t mind wet or dry areas making it useful as a natural fence or windbreak.

The softball-sized, inedible fruit called oranges are green and lumpy. The oranges contain a chemical compound that repels spiders and bugs. Native Americans used the extremely strong wood for bows and clubs. When burned Osage orange wood produces more BTUs (heating units) than any other wood.

A trail guide for McCloud Nature Park shows the many trails, overlooks, landscapes and amenities that provide different views of nature in Indiana.

Seeing With New Eyes

Winter is not my favorite season, but I’ve learned to live with it. If it has to be cold, wet, and dreary, I want snow. This past week was cold and snowless. Without snow cover, everything hidden by grass, underbrush, and leaves during the summer is suddenly visible. It makes for a fun afternoon walk to find what has been under our noses all along. John and I took off to McCloud Nature Park for a little exercise, fresh air, and exploring.

John parked in the first lot. Hopping onto the PawPaw Pathway, we climbed the hill using Acorn Pass and veered right to take the Sycamore Bend along Big Walnut Creek. Skirting around the wetlands via Smallmouth Run, we made our way back up to the bridge using Red-Tailed Ridge trail. We checked out the Bee Observation House (which is closed for the season), passed the Nature Center, and walked on the gravel drive back to our vehicle. We logged two miles for the entire hike.

John wanted the exercise. He likes to walk quickly and elevate his heart rate. I wander. I stop and check things out. For instance, an insect gall.

Insect galls are those “bulbs” in the middle of a plant stem. An insect, in this case, a goldenrod gall fly, inserts its eggs into the stem where they hatch.

The plant reacts by building a hard shell around the egg/larvae. The larvae live inside eating the nutrients provided by the host plant, safe from the elements The winter landscape reveals and most predators. Some predators, such as wasps detail like this insect gall, hosting insect eggs to hatch in the and chickadees, have fig- spring ured this out and break the galls open to feed on the larvae. If it survives, the gall fly emerges in spring to mate.

The bright yellow-green of the inedible fruit of the Osage Orange stands out among the muted browns and grays of the thorny tree on which it grows.

Unfortunately, another thing that becomes visible without the benefit of greenery or snow is garbage. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but why do people go to a beautiful, natural area and then trash it? Aren’t they there to enjoy the sounds, smells, and scenery? So why do they leave their water bottles and picnic remnants behind? Don’t they want to come back again and find the area still lovely?

I don’t understand.

Without the lush green growth of spring, piles of trash easily spoil the view and break the spell of nature.

The afternoon was a success. John achieved his exercise goal and I enjoyed my “scavenger hunt.” It reminds me of a quote by Marcel Proust. “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” I’ve been to McCloud numerous times, but there’s always something to see with new eyes. ______________________________________________

A Note From Bee Snow Days

The unmistakable calling card of the beaver’s gnawing skills are foiund along Big Walnut creek.

Along the creek, were several small tree stumps. The tops of the trees were gone. The chew marks indicated a beaver had felled them. Not familiar with the Big Walnut Creek, I presume the water level rises during the rainy season and moves quickly through the bends. Beavers can’t build the traditional lodge of piled-up sticks and mud in the middle of a fast-running creek. It would wash away.

Instead, they tunnel into the stream bank. John and I searched the area and found one possible site, a large hole in the bank that would have been hidden all summer by brush. I don’t know for certain, but I’m not putting my hand in to find out! I don’t want to encounter an angry groundhog anymore than a beaver!

On the 6 o’clock news the meterologist said possibility of heavy snow for the next several days. For us adults that was not good news. That meant we would have snow to shovel and slick roads. Our three kids looked upon it as a chance of school being cancelled. In those days the superintendent and principals would drive around Brownsburg and decide whether to cancel school or not. The kids would watch TV or listen to the radio for school closings.

If school was canceled we would wait a couple of hours til road conditions got better and then hit the road. We might call the dentist and see if he had any cancelations which he usually did. Follow up with lunch at a fast food restaurant and maybe even squeeze in a movie.

This would be a good time to visit grandma or go to the children’s museum. We had all kinds of options. These days most schools do e-learning instead of snow days.

Oh, for the good old days.

It took up a whole page in the May 28, 1908 issue of The Republican.

Plainfield was to have a new addition, and like today’s subdivision, a name was chosen that would denote a pleasant atmosphere for family homes.

Luke Duffey, the real estate entrepreneur behind the project, chose Amitydale Park. The word “amity”a synonym for goodwill was combined with“dale” for a broad valley, followed by the world “park” given the LUKE DUFFEY impression of a place of natural beauty.

The auction would include lots, two newly-build houses, and ten acres of lot sites.

The land was situated east of the Friends Meetinghouse and stretched from the National Road (US 40) on the north, then across the interurban line on south to Maple Hill Cemetery. It was “blessed with about 150 maple trees which will soon afford shade to the home owners” plus about 130 fruit trees.

“Every man should own his home,” the ad declared.

“This gives him energy and creates in him a desire to save.

It makes him a better citizen and adds to and cultivates his credit and standing in the community.”

Praise was heaped upon the Town of Plainfield as a place to live.

“Its moral atmosphere is of the best, its people congenial and progressive, and it is near enough to the city of Indianapolis to allow one to go back and forth at will and far enough away to free from the discomforts, congested conditions and evil influences of the city... The town is without saloons, has ten miles of cement sidewalks, electric lights and railroad facilities …99% of her population is native born.”

Luke Duffey was a Hendricks County native. He completed the law course at Central Normal College and was admitted to the Hendricks County bar in 1900. He established a farm sales company in Indianapolis, buying and selling realty of all kinds.

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “What were your conclusions about the art exhibit?”

Archy asked.

“How did you....”

“Oscar brought it up at the Squirrel Salon,” he explained. “He was there to give us a report.”

Last month, The Republican staff had taken a trip to Newfields to see the Van Gogh multi-media digital display. I didn’t recall seeing a pretentious squirrel in the building.

“Oscar’s a bit of a chameleon. He made himself part of the projections and was able to scurry with the movement of the images. He said he was so in tune with the production that nary a person saw him.”

I asked what Oscar’s pronouncements were.

“He said it was ‘too, too utterly utter’ to describe, Oscar’s a bit of an aesthete, I’m afraid. But he brings a bit of drama to the Squirrel Salon meetings, so we put up with it,” the squirrel said. “What was your impression?”

I told him was quite a contrast. “You walked into the large room with swirling projections on the walls and floors. Some people were walking around, some were sitting down, and some were checking their phones. After the display had run its course, I went into another room where there were three original paintings hanging on the wall.”

“Oscar mentioned that,” Archy said. “He said the best part was watching the people.”

Oscar was right. After being surrounded by light and sound the people were drawn to the oil and canvas. They walked up to the paintings like they were a window in a darkened room.

Archy nodded. “Art should beckon, it should make you see things in a different way. It should open a window on a new part of the world. Whether it’s painting, music, or literature,” How utterly Archy. ______________________________________________

Epsom Salts - Secret Plant Fertilizer

Letters To The Editor

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Epsom salts gave a frost-like coating to a jar used as a holiday centerpiece.

Add Some Magnesium Master Gardener Suzy Freeman used an Epson salt coating on jars to make a stunning center piece for the Christmas Dinner in December. What an unusual use for the Epson salts we buy in drug and grocery stores.

Most of us were introduced to Epson salts by our grandmother, who had us soak our feet in a footbath to help with soreness or pain. Epson salts is still used for things like- promote foot health, soften rough skin, draw out splinters, help with constipation and encourage sleep.

A natural mineral, Epsom Salts was discovered in the well water of Epson, England. It has been used for hundreds of years to treat human and animal ailments.

The gardeners back then used Epson salts to help grow their plants.

Chemically, Epsom salts is hydrated magnesium sulfate Magnesium is critical for seed germination and the production of chlorophyll, fruit, and nuts. Magnesium assists in strengthen cell walls and expands plants’ uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Magnesium tends to be lacking in old soils with low pH Sulfur is needed for the production of vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes. It gives vegetables such as broccoli and onions their flavors. Sulfur is occasionally deficient in our garden soils Plants like roses, tomatoes, and peppers require lots of magnesium A foliar application is the fast way to get nutrients to the plant by spaying on the leaves. Mix 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt in gallon of water. Spray foliage twice a month. This way, the Magnesium can be taken up quickly by the plants.

This improves flower blooming in roses and increases the plant’s green color. It can even help tomato and pepper plants grow bushier.

Epsom salt will help. Like most commercial fertilizers, It poses little danger of overuse. You can use it safely on nearly all your garden plants If your roses do not bloom it is a bud omen.

Weekly Recipes

In 2022 The Republican is introducing a new feature: weekly recipes from members of Hendricks County Extension Homemakers Clubs. Each month members of one of the clubs will submit a favorite recipe for our readers to try.

For January, the Modern Homemakers Club will share some of their family favorites.

This club meets on third Thursday of each month at Bartlett Chapel United Methodist Church, 4396 E. Main St., Avon. For more information abou this club, contact Ellen Looney at 317-797-8368 or email ellen_looney@yahoo.com

Dear Editor: January 5 was first day to file for Republican nomination for Danville Town Council & I did, to help insure the bypass is built. I need not have. I did not know Greg Irby has prepared three years to run, in part to build the bypass.

His views pretty much mirror mine.

So I withdrew my candidacy, hereby endorse Mr. Irby, & plan to run At Large in 2023. A business lawyer, Mr. Irby eminently is qualified to run. Yet we need all five council members fervently committed to the laborious process of gaining a four mile bypass (preferably south of the landfill, extending halfway or so from the high school to Amo Road).

Two phrases describe my fervor on the issue. Richard Nixon’s “lift of a driving dream” & Field of Dreams’ “build it & they will come.” Driving in Danville is a hassle. The bypass will bring more people, both in the form of commuters avoiding rendering Danville a rush hour parking lot & in the form of shoppers to our three commercial centers (near the hospital, on the square & near the high school).

That is counterintuitive you say. It is, but think about it. Carmel & Fishers, our two most famous suburbs (each recently selected best place to live in USA), have flourishing small business yet giant bypasses nearly surrounding both (think I-465, I-69, US 31, Indiana 37).

Who wants to trade or browse in Danville now from 8 a.m to 10 a.m. or from 3 p,m to 7? With a bypass we can have parking garages & streets kids & little old ladies & men can walk across to spend cash. Not now.

Vote Irby in May. If you agree with us, run yourself in 2023 & beyond. This will take 10 years & millions of bucks the feds have. (A buddy was a highway paving superintendent 40 years & says 10 years ago it cost a million a mile for a new road.) But not only is the bypass worth it & a way to cordon off the landfill, the bypass is essential to Danville’s health.

Sincerely, Greg Black ______________________________________________

Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until temperature reaches 160°. Serve with Mustard Sauce.

Mustard Sauce 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 Tbsp. flour 1/2 cup vinegar 1/8 c. prepared mustard 1/2 cup water 1 egg Combine all ingredients and cook until it thickens.

These are sure boring times. Now that all the hubbub of the holidays is over and the decorations are put away, the next big project is gathering all the information for the dreaded “Tax Return.”

If you want something enjoyable to do before you tackle that unpleasant task, take a stroll through a cemetery.

They are really quite enjoyable. I am not trying to take anything away from those who are grieving. Visiting the cemetery for a loved one is a solemn task. But once the heartache has passed, and it will pass or at least ease enough for you to function, the cemetery can be a quite informative place.

The Pisgah cemetery near Beckville, Indiana has lots of beautiful stones with picture carvings on them. It is always interesting to wonder why someone chose that picture, did they choose it themselves or did a family member? Were there lots of choices they could choose from or only one that made sense?

The really old cemeteries have tombstones with ominous sayings carved in them. There is a tombstone in the Lowery cemetery in Jamestown that my brother and I found on one of our excursions there as children. These were the days before it was restored; it was all overgrown with holes here and there (we just knew if you looked deep into those holes, you would see a skeleton) and many of the tombstones were laying flat. One old tombstone had the following etched on it – “As you are now, so once was I; as I am now, soon you will be, prepare for death and follow me.” No thank you! For an eight-year-old it was extremely frightful. I thought about that a lot and decided I didn’t think that individual would have been very likable.

When I stroll through an old cemetery and read the headstones, it makes me wonder what those folks were like, where they lived, what they liked to do, their occupation, what their friends and family thought of them. Unfortunately, there is only a small amount of space for your particulars. When my time comes, I would like a really tall tombstone because I still have a lot to say.

Just an observation. ______________________________________________

IU Health Hospitals Bring in Reinforcements

In a recent marketing campaign, IU Health has asked the public to get vaccinated to avoid excessive hospitalizations.

By Melissa Gibson In recent weeks, news of the Omicron virus has been making headlines, however, as IU Health requested assistance from the Indiana National Guard and later, FEMA has been deployed, it’s the Delta virus that is keeping beds full and hospitals at capacity.

IU Health held a news conference on Jan. 4 to share updated information and where the status of the COVID-19 pandemic stands.

Indiana University Health’s Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Chris Weaver said at the time, the 16 hospitals in the IU Health System had more than 550 COVID-positive cases and more than six patients dying each day.

“We’re at the highest point we’ve been and working at 120 percent capacity at every hospital. We’re stretched beyond our belief and staffing is still a major challenge.

We’ve been lucky to have the great partnership and help from the Indiana National Guard from direct patient clinical care and supply chain work etc. Just before Christmas, FEMA deployed clinical experts from the Navy and they’ll be here for 30 days at this time,” Weaver said.

Military staff is currently deployed in 13 of the 16 hospitals to date and administration is working to pair their specialties and skill sets to the departments that can best utilize them.

ER Departments are seeing a large influx of patients, often gathering information and taking lab work in the waiting room and hallways.

Board rooms and office areas are being transformed into patient rooms. In many cases, there is literally more patients than beds available.

Lt. Commander Donovan Mabe with the U.S. Navy is a critical care doctor and had just completed one such room utilization change to prepare for more critical patients.

“As soon as we opened the beds, we were at capacity very quickly,” Mabe said. Everyone is working so hard; I’ve been so impressed by the level of commitment the nurses have and the flexibility a hospital system this large has shown.

Riley Children’s Health is one hospital seeing a major increase in positive young patients.

“This time around, children are feeling the direct impact,” said Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Riley Children’s Health Elaine Cox. “We have four times as many children admitted currently than we’ve had during any other wave in the past two years. More than half of them is spending time in the ICU and at least 40 percent of those are spending time on a ventilator.”

Most elective or non-emergent surgeries are being postponed and various therapies have been halted for the time being.

“The challenge is, if it’s you, it always feels urgent,” Cox said. “We’re working daily with our surgeons to determine those emergent cases. We don’t want to miss critical diagnosis and what might not be urgent today, may be a couple of weeks from now. The overall outcome should not be impacted by a certain amount of wait.”

Overall, it’s utilization, creativity and a desire to maximize resources that is keeping the staff going at IU Health.

“We’re honestly adjusting on a day-to-day basis,” said Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer of Patient Care Services at the Indiana University Health Adult Academic Health Center Hospital Liz Linden. “This virus has impacted all lives in all aspects and we’re here to take care of you. We ask that the community take care of themselves and protect themselves which mean vaccinating, wearing masks, frequent handwashing and social distancing.”

How Can We Help?

• ER Departments hospital system wide are being overrun by patients waiting for beds. Hospital personnel ask that individuals go to their primary care provider or a clinic for a COVID test versus the ER Department at the hospital.

• Many questions have been asked about daycares and children under the age of two. Cox advises families to ‘cocoon’ their youngest by having all care providers vaccinated, wearing masks and washing their hands frequently. The health of the providers will be reflected on the health of the infant and toddler-aged children.

• The CDC now recommends pregnant women receive the vaccine and booster. Cox reported high volumes of pregnant women with COVID who have experienced birth complications, premature delivery or even death.

Endeavor Communications celebrated its continued support of the local communities it serves by donating nearly $5,000 to the Putnam County Hospital Cancer Center and Hendricks County Hospital Cancer Center recently.

The funding includes donations collected as part of Endeavor’s annual Monster Dash Family 5K Walk/Run. This year’s event took place virtually and in person. All of these funds directly benefit the local cancer facilities.

In previous years, Putnam County Hospital had used the funds for new chairs for chemotherapy patients to sit in while they receive treatment, while Hendricks County Hospital had used the donation for their Cancer Survivor Program.

The annual Monster Dash Family 5K Walk/Run event is organized and staffed by an energetic group of Endeavor Communications employee volunteers dedicated to helping raise funds for local cancer centers. The family-friendly event drew walkers and runners from Putnam County

and throughout the United States who either participated virtually or at the October 2nd event.

Events like Monster Dash wouldn’t be possible without the help of key local community organizations, including Berry It, Hendricks Power, Anytime Fitness, Coraggio Designs, HMSB Insurance, Consortia Consulting, Brad Tucker State Farm Insurance, Mulberry Telephone Cooperative, CSU Inc, Putnam Inn, Central Indiana Communications, Cloverdale Drugs, Lightstream, RMS Risk Management, York Automotive, Monon Telephone, Fraternal Order of Eagles, First National Bank, and Healthies.

Join Amos Butler Audubon Society Education Chair and Indy Parks Naturalist, Jessica Helmbold, on a discovery of the history of coffee at McCloud Nature Park on Saturday, January 14, 2-4 p.m.

As you gain a greater appreciation for one of your favorite beverages, you should also think about how our consumption of this magical brew effects the environment.

One of the biggest threats to the environment, and more specifically to rainforests, is the clearing of land for the production of staple crops like bananas, pineapples, and coffee! Coffee is unique in that it can grow in harmony with the rainforest. But only if you demand it! You can vote with your dollars to support rainforest conservation through the kind of coffee you buy.

Attendees will have an opportunity to sample different varieties of Rainforest Alliance/bird-friendly coffees (while supplies last).

This program is recommended for adults. FREE to attend, no advance registration needed.

COVID precautions: This is an inside presentation, with an outside portion. The doors will be propped open for better ventilation, and the group size may be limited.

Masks are currently not required. Check back for updates.

Books? Bakery?

This January, the glass display cases in the Children’s room at the Danville Public Library will be transformed to a delightful array of bundled books, DVD’s, and audiobooks on particular topics. Use the convenient “menu” to order your bundle from one of the bakers (i.e. staff) who have carefully curated collections based on popular topics such as basketball, (not-so-traditional) princesses, Lego, teen magic, and diggers for preschoolers.

Be sure to visit the bakery (er, Children’s Room) this month to indulge!

The Danville Boys Basketball program participated in the Hendricks County Tournament on January 6th and 8th at Plainfield High School.

The boys team entered the tournament with high hopes of bringing home the trophy but were met with a tenacious Avon Oriole’s team in the first game of the tournament. The Warriors started out in control in what appeared to be shaping up as a direct path to the championship game just two days later. However, Avon had a different plan and they shut down the Danville offense, holding them to just three points in the third quarter. The Warriors made a ferocious comeback in the final quarter but it was not enough and they lost to Avon by a final score of 51-48.

Two days later, Danville took on the Plainfield Quakers in the consolation game. Much like their first game of the tournament, the Warriors set the pace early and looked poised to salvage the tournament with a win. However, the homecourt team would not go quietly and the made a game of this all the way through the mid-point of the fourth quarter. This is when the Warriors offense finally started hitting on all cylinders and finished with a 53-47 victory, defeating the Quakers for the second time in three weeks.

Brayton McMahon led the Warriors in scoring in game one with 13 points while Brady Ruggles led the team in the second game with 16 points.

Next up for Danville is a road trip to North Montgomery on January 14th.

Arrest Made In Double Fatality Crash near Danville

Friday, January 7, Danville Police took 20-yearold Noah Wells of Danville into custody for two counts of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated - Causing Death, for the December 6, 2021 double fatality vehicle crash NOAH WELLS that claimed the lives of 23-year-old Bryce King and 26-year-old Abigail Scheibelhut. Wells is being held with no bond.

A legal blood draw, obtained from Wells at Eskenazi Hospital immediately following the crash, was analyzed by the Indiana Department of Toxicology, and the certified results show that Wells operated his vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .126.

Detectives with the Danville Police Investigations Division worked tirelessly for 32 days to determine and gather the facts related to this case. In a press release, the Department said: “There have been a large number of terribly inaccurate, completely speculative, and at times, 100% madeup statements made through social media. Accidents of this nature require a substantial amount of investigative effort. From extracting electronic data from the vehicles, completing a thorough crash reconstruction, conducting crush analysis of the vehicles, securing medical records, tracking down and speaking with potential witnesses, conducting cell phone analysis, reviewing camera footage, working with medical, vehicle and laboratory experts who can accurately examine data obtained in the investigation, among many other things. Results of these tests, unfortunately, take a lengthy amount of time to process and we understand that this can be frustrating to individuals who wish to have results immediately. Throughout this extensive investigative process, our agency has been assisted in various ways by the Indiana State Police, the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office, the Avon Police Department, the Hendricks County Prosecutors Office, Volkswagen Group of America, and York Towing & Recovery.

Staigl Hones Her Softball Skills By: Olivia O’Neal

Aside from winning multiple MVP awards with different teams, Olivia Staigl, a devoted softball player and current sophomore at Danville Community High School, has won second team all-conference as a freshman varsity player, an achievement no other freshman had ever done in the program.

Ten years of travel ball and high school tournaments include playing on a 10U state runner up team, starting varsity on a county, conference, sectional, and regional championship team that made it to a semi-final for 3A, and playing on an all freshman team and USA all super team honorable mention.

Her high school stats are as follows: she hit .378 in the number 5 spot in 27 games with 17 RBI’s and three home runs. Her Working her way from Little League to hits (31) and runs (27) totals each ranked fourth on a team that went 28-2 and was the national Lady Dukes team, Olivia Staigl is building a reputation in softball. one win shy of playing for a class 3A state title.

Beginning on a little league team at age six, Staigl craved a more “competitive level.”

She played two years for Indy Crush and one year on a local team for Eclipse. Deciding to “bust my butt and buckle down,” to play Division 1 softball she joined the Indiana Shockwaves saw her for a season, and for college exposure, played for Indy Edget. Now, Staigl is on the national team, Lady Dukes Midwest. Her positions are first and third base and she’s a lefty power hitter.

A setback came in 2019, when a complication from a hereditary condition required knee-cap surgery. What folowed was a six-months rehab she found to be mentally crushing.

“All the questions start rushing through your head like why did God do this to me?” she recalled. “Why can’t I walk? Will I ever get back to the athlete I was?” A year later with the help of her faith, she returned to the game, mentally stronger.

“Softball has brought so much passion and personality out of me,” Staigl explained, and she’s grateful for her parents’ support: “They are my rock, foundation, and stability in life.”

Wishing to further her athletic career, Staigl hopes to get D1 scholarships to play softball in college while studying sports medicine and exercise science. ______________________________________________________________________

Coach May huddles with team during time out.

The Danville Girls Basketball program participated in the Hendricks County Tournament on January 5th and 8th and were riding a nine-game winning streak into the contest against the Avon Orioles.

The Warriors had high expectations considering their recent string of successes. The game stayed close throughout much of the first half with Avon leading only by three at half-time. Despite a season high in scoring by Isabelle Wooten, with 27 points, the Orioles did just enough to stave off a run by Danville in the fourth quarter.

The Lady Warriors would take on their arch-rival Tri-West Bruins in the consolation game and hoped to right the ship after the disappointing game-one loss. As is usually the result when these two schools meat, there is an intensity that rivals very few others. However, the Burins set the tone early and never relented in pursuit of a victory. The game was never close and Tri-West won it going away, 71-37.

Leading the Warriors in game two was once again, Isabelle Wooten who netted 11 points in the game.

Next up for Danville is a road game at Southmont on January 11. We did not have the score in time to post in this edition.

Larry was never happier than when he was outdoors, hunting, fishing, observing wildlife or simply breathing the fresh air.
