Host Zoom Afternoon

Tuesday, February 1, 2022, the Hendricks County Extension Homemakers are excited to host an educational afternoon.

With COVID on the rise, these sessions will be offered virtually, so you can enjoy them from the comfort of your home. Open to everyone, three separate presentations will be offered that day, all presented by Area VI Purdue Extension Educators.

The sessions offered are: 1 p.m. - “Returning to a Social Life - We are Ready!”

by Susan Peterson - The pandemic has been long. It has isolated us from many things and our way of life has changed but we are ready to safely return to a more social way of life BUT WAIT…here comes another variant and we again are trying to figure out how we return to social gatherings and feel confident and safe. What can we do, what do we need to change, how do we adapt and/or improve the events we miss. What are the next steps as we head into the new year.

2 p.m. - “Memory, Forgetfulness & Aging” by Christina Owusu-Alkomah - Everyone has changes in their memory as they age. This program will discuss how the normal act of aging affects our memories and changes that are not normal. We will cover some of the warning signs of dementia that should encourage you or a loved one to seek help. Just as important, we will cover tips and tricks that will keep our brains younger, not matter when we were born!

3 p.m. “Code Red” by Beth Switzer, MS, RDN, CD is a program that shows how the Code Red Spreadsheets can be used - one for personal information and the other for business information. In the event of a crisis the need for timely information about the people in the family or home business and their contacts are very important. The spreadsheet keeps important information such as passwords, bank account information, rental agreements, insurance papers and power-of-attorney documents in one location.

The program is free, but registration is required. You may register on line at: bit.ly/2022LeaderLessons or by calling the Hendricks County Extension Office at 317745-9260.

Those registered will receive the zoom link for the session(s) of their choice along with any supplemental brochures via email prior to the session.

If you have questions, or if you have a disability that requires special assistance for your participation contact Purdue Extension – Hendricks County, 317-745-9260 or hendrces@purdue.edu ______________________________________________

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: Hendricks County has seen disasters and catastrophes. Some have been averted.

Amo correspondent Flavius revealed Jud Cosner came close to a catastrophe in July 1885 while his wife was baking “light bread.” The stove suddenly began shaking “and groaning,” and Mrs. Cosner opened the door just in time to stave off an explosion.

“They use the Amo flour.”

I’m curious what went into Amo flour, and I’m minded of an episode from “I Love Lucy.”

Beyond local, the paper reported catastrophes from across the nation and the world, whether war, earthquakes, volcanoes, famine, assassinations, even ship sinkings.

A disastrous hail storm lasting perhaps 20 minutes in May 1886 ruined crops in a three-mile-wide swath across the county roughly 3-1/2 miles north of Danville. The wheat crop was destroyed; the straw was literally buried in some places.

Young corn was “pounded into the earth until it was entirely hidden from view.” The lateness of the season bode ill for replanting.

Fruit trees were denuded of fruit and leaves, and in some cases their bark was split “and peeled from the limbs.” Fish were killed in farmers’ carp ponds.

“The farm houses presented a desolate-looking spectacle.” The hail broke windows, and “beat through the roofs of the houses.”

A day later, “quantities of the hail” still could be found.

The Republican estimated damage to crops, property and livestock to “reach the neighborhood of $200,000.”

Today, that would come to roughly $5.7 million.

Plainfield correspondent Muckatah Pashaw cryptically described a sorrowful happening that “might have ruined me for life” in December 1881. The incident revolved around whether a band member had the right to take his horn when he left the band. Set to go before Justice of the Peace Eli Johnson, the trial was delayed by a change of venue. I learned nothing more.

North Salem’s Uncle Sam endured “a terrible calamity” in July 1886, lying “in anguish” from “an incurable toothache.” His wife did all she could for him until she discovered he drank “the largest quantity” of his daughter’s cologne. Said Sam, “It relieved me for a while, anyway.”

Lake David correspondent Intruder remarked, “It is utterly against my principles to criticize the morals of my own community,” but he did, anyway, in February 1885. “If the respectable part of the parents suffers such low down, debased, impure characters to remain and carry on in the manner that is now being done . . . their sons and daughters are rapidly drifting to eternal ruin.”

Lake David was roughly a mile northeast of Clayton at the northwest corner of a T road. Dear Editor believes it was some swampy ground now dried up.

What was going on there? Dancing? Drinking? Kissing games? Unwelcome corrupters? Intruder revealed nothing.

Ruin. Tragedy. Catastrophe.

“A catastrophe was narrowly averted” in October 1887 when a farmer tried to cross the railroad tracks in front of President Cleveland’s train. A quick-thinking baggage master grabbed the horses’ bits and stopped them just in time. I’m thinking the farmer was a Republican; Cleveland was not.

The following October, “a fearful disaster was averted” during a political gathering in the upper room at Lizton’s new school house. The “multitude,” five times larger than expected, caused the plaster to start cracking. Yet another quick-thinker calmly ushered out small groups at a time to avoid panic.

Luckily, there was a remedy in 1889 for those enduring a “constant, indescribable feeling of dread, or impending calamity,” along with a host of other ailments including “indescribably miserable,” ague and dumb ague. It was Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery at $1 a bottle, or $5 for six.

“There are dark shadows that hover over one in every pursuit, walk and condition of life,” the paper’s editor editorialized in January 1882. “There is a great deal of obscurity and cloud in all our lives, yet we have learned to see, hope and work in the absence of all sunlight.”

Harkening back to the dark days of our Civil War, The Republican in January 1887 reminded readers “the escape from general disruption and disaster was too narrow to admit of triumphant confidence.”

The paper warned, “Evil will continue to threaten us so long as demagogues and revolutionists are mistaken for patriots and statesmen.”

Publisher’s Point of View A Busy Year So Far Happy Thursday in the middle of a cold January day. Hope everyone is keeping warm.

As of this writing it looks like you snowbirds just got hit with cooler temps, storms and tornados. I am not sure what to say to our readers that choose on purpose to live in the northern climates like Wisconsin, Michigan and Colorado. It’s cold enough here in Indiana for me.

Did you know? We have subscribers in 23 states. From Oregon to Texas, Florida and Maine.

Did you know? We had over 100 new subscribers in the last month. Welcome, new subscribers. Take your time getting to know the newspaper. It’s been finely cultivated over 175 years. Be patient. There are traditions in every issue that have been carried on for over 100 years.

Speaking of new, there have been new town board presidents, vice presidents and new committee appointments made all throughout the County this month. Congratulations and good luck to those of you serving in public positions. It can be thankless. May you serve with grace a public that is not always graceful.

On that note, new Chief Deputy of Elections, DJ Hoskins began accepting applications for those wishing to run for an office in this year’s elections. There are numerous positions up for election in the county this year and there will be several contested races. We can’t control how State and Federal candidates run their campaigns, but we can ask those running for office in Hendricks County to be civil and spare us all the drama of personal attacks and partisan aggression. It’s not who we are.

The next installment of the Start Talking series from our guest writers David Winters and Phillip Gulley is in this week’s paper. They share their perspective on whether Indiana should pass legislation requiring school board candidates to declare their political party affiliation.

Naturally, as seen in their 6 East Main Street ~ P.O. Box 149 previous writings, their Danville, IN 46122 Phone: 317-745-2777 / Fax: 317-647-4341 perspectives are different, E-mail: therepublican@sbcglobal.net but are they closer to comBETTY JO BARTLEY mon ground on this one?

Brownsburg Sertoma Gets Christmas Grant

Sertoma International awarded a $1,000 grant to the Brownsburg Sertoma service club to support its Christmas project to help needy families in our community.

The local club has been working this project for a least six years. This Christmas they helped eight families with a total of 23 kids spending $3,149.77. This works out to be an average of $137 per child and $394 per family. The club works with the Lincoln and Brown Township Trustees to get the names of really needy families.

Nate Mantlo the Brown Township Trustee said: “The Brownsburg Sertoma Christmas Program touched the lives of families who were in emergency need this past December. I was unsure whether any of these families would have Christmas at all this year — they were each struggling to cover their basic needs. Sertoma contacted the families and provided help with Christmas shopping and family household needs, which the families truly appreciated.

“I’m rarely asked to identify people who can be helped this way, so I’m thankful the Brownsburg Sertoma service organization is here to help in times of need and bring some joy in difficult times.”

The Brownsburg club meets the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month at 6 p.m. at the “The Locale” restaurant (formerly Dawson’s II). ___________

Avon-Washington Township Public Library will host Indiana Disasters, one of the Indiana Historical Society’s (IHS’s) traveling exhibits, from January 6-Febuary 1. The exhibit, which explores all kinds of disasters and how they are remembered by Indiana communities, will be on display at the library, located at 498 North Avon Avenue.

It is no secret that—in Indiana—extreme weather such as floods, tornadoes, blizzards and drought persist year to year.

The way humans interact with their environment also leaves people vulnerable to disasters, such as fires, crashes, spills and explosions.

Historically, stories of these events have been passed down from generation to generation, including biological, violent and bizarre events such as epidemics, bombs and even squirrel migrations.

In this traveling exhibit, guests will see photographs from various IHS collections and from institutions across the state, which capture these unforgettable Indiana catastrophes. In addition, newspaper headlines, illustrations and survivor accounts show how Hoosiers have persevered in the face of disaster.

Indiana Disasters is made possible by Kroger. For more information about this exhibit, call 317-272-4818 or visit www. avonlibrary.net.

Applications Now Being Taken for Touchstone Energy Camp

Hendricks Power Cooperative has opened applications for its annual youth programs. Each year the organization provides a variety of sponsored programs to benefit local middle and high school students, including Camp Kilowatt, a Youth Tour Trip to Washington D.C., and Commitment to Community scholarships.

Camp Kilowatt, formerly known as Touchstone Energy Camp, will be held June 8-11, 2022, at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston, Indiana. Students entering seventh grade in 2022 are eligible to attend and are selected by Hendricks Power to participate in the all-inclusive three-day program. The students’ agenda combines traditional outdoor camp activities such as horseback riding, archery, zip-lining, and canoeing along with environmental education, electrical safety practices, and cooperative business education. Apply online by visiting CampKilowatt.org. Applications are due March 1, 2022.

Youth Tour is a week-long all-inclusive trip to Washington D.C. for current high school juniors. The trip is from June 16-23.

Electric cooperatives throughout Indiana send a delegation of approximately 100 students to Washington and convene with more than 1,800 students from across the country. Throughout the trip, students will visit the Gettysburg Battlefield, Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian museums, tour the Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorials, take a night cruise on the Potomac River, and much more. For more information and to apply by March 1, 2022, visit www.indianayouthtour.org.

Commitment to Community scholar-

ships are awarded to local graduating high school seniors throughout the Hendricks Power service territory. The six scholarships are valued at $1,500 toward college tuition or higher education. Applications can be found online at www.hendrickspower.com/scholarship-program and are due by March 4, 2022.

“I would highly encourage as many students as possible to apply for these programs,” stated Emily Hamell, Marketing Communications Manager at Hendricks Power. “Especially our Youth Tour and Camp programs. Both are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. We receive great feedback from the students and parents who participate, but we have seen a decline in the amount of applicants in the last few years. These are fully sponsored programs and we need a little help getting the word out. We are asking members to share these programs and deadlines with local schools and other student groups.” Hammell also added, “We are in a position to expand these opportunities to more students if there is a strong interest.”

For additional information on any of these programs, contact Emily Hammell at ehammell@hendrickspower.com or by phone at 317.718.7606.

A Note From Bee Since I am 82 years old this story is about 50 years old.

Before my husband, Jim, went into management at Indiana Bell he was an installer/repairman. There was always a lot of overtime which meant a lot of extra money.

When he went into management he did not get a raise for two years. We needed to make some extra money. What could we do ?

Quite by accident we started cutting firewood. We had cut firewood for our own fireplace and a neighbor asked us if they could buy some firewood from us. When we first started there was an oil embargo. We got $15 a rick.

We suddenly had a small business going. Jim told them at work what he was doing and we picked up customers there. It did not take long to get customers and keep us busy every weekend. Also, contractors were happy to let us cut up downed trees. They were charged $50 a load to take wood to dump.

It was Jim’s job to cut down trees, cut up wood, split it (we did not have a spliter), and load pieces that were too heavy for me and our two oldest children, Aimee about nine, Andy about seven. We loaded lighter pieces and pulled away any brush that came from trees that were cut down. Leigh Anne was only four. She could only pull away a few branches. The older two teased her that she did so little.

It was not easy work and we had many mishaps. The $15 included stacking it where ever the customer wanted it. One of our customers when he ordered wood asked me at least twice if we stacked the wood. When we arrived to deliver the wood we found out why he was so concerned about stacking. He didn’t have a driveway. Jim had to wheel the wood quite a distance to Mr. Earnhart’s yard.

The Earnhart’s became regular customers and always tipped us well and invited us in for snacks.

Another time, a dead tree shifted and fell across the drive way of someone that had given us permission to cut down the tree. The trunk gripped our chain saw and Jim tried to loosen the bar by making a wedge in the tree trunk with an axe. Unfortunately he missed and hit the edge of the bar breaking it. The only other option was to cut the tree in half with a bow saw and ax. Then he pullled the pieces off the drive way with our truck. We persevered for two years, until Jim got a promotion and a raise. We feel like it helped teach our children at a very early age that they had to work for money.

Bee Jones ______________________________________________

Shopping with Miss Dorothy After we were married for a few years the age-old problem set in. Dorothy would ask me to go shopping with her for clothes.

I hated this and usually grumbled the whole time making it a “Not much fun” experience.

One day we were on our way to the mall, and I started thinking “you know what, I am missing out on an excellent opportunity to spend quality time with my wife.” I needed to change my attitude and let this become quality time. So I did this.

I started asking why she picked certain styples, colors, brand names. I started understanding the rules. Now we were getting somewhere. While she was trying on something, I would browse the sale racks looking for just the right outfit. I found some good bargains and Dorothy loved it.

One day Dorothy was in the changing room and I sat and waited to give my opinion. I looked across the room and some woman was holding up a dress and looking at it. She happened to glance my way and I shook my head.

She smiled and put it back. She then proceeded to hold up clothes for my approval. I told her she needed to look for more A-Line style and stick to pastel colors because they went with her hair color and skin tones. Soon she had several outfits in hand and went off to the dressing rooms.

Next Dorothy came out with an outfit on which I liked very much and I told her, “Let’s buy that.” About that time the other lady came out, walked over to me, and ask “ Do you like this?” I said yes and she went back in. Dorothy looked at me and it was a good thing looks can’t kill our I would not be here today. I can tell you; I never did this again. What a goofball.

Voices Your Mental Health

By Chase Cotton, Community Director, The Willow Center 317-852-3690

So You Broke Your New Year’s Resolution Already, Now What?

First things first, please know that you are not alone!

One of my own new year’s resolutions was to exercise more. So far, I am averaging only 3 times per week or so. It’s better than not at all, but frankly I am still beating myself up for not fulfilling my resolutions because I imagined myself working out every single day in my mind.

Oftentimes, in the spirit of tradition, we haphazardly set these resolutions without giving thought to whether or not they’re even realistic for our lives. Then, we are sucked into the spiral of self-doubt and negative self-talk when we cannot realize our resolutions.

Perhaps your resolution was to lose weight (whether or not that goal is healthy for you). Perhaps your resolution was to drink less. Perhaps your resolution was to spend more time with your kids. But, life got busy again. You had to eat out more than you thought. You felt stressed out again, and the bottle beckoned. Your kids had practice after school and you barely had enough time to shower before running out to pick them up again. Life happened, and you broke your New Year’s resolution! Now what?

Instead of diving into despair, what if we start with self-grace? To be clear, self-grace is very different than wallowing in self-pity. Self-grace is avoiding negative inner talking, allowing room for growth, and showing compassion toward your being and your efforts. Self-pity, on the other hand, is ignorant of responsibility and does not seek any change at all. Self-grace says, “It’s okay to not be okay.” You are allowed to just survive today – thriving comes with time and practice. Be gracious to yourself as you navigate the many hurtles of being an adult.

After setting a foundation of self-grace, it’s time to consider transitioning from resolution-setting to true goal-setting. There is a major difference! Resolutions are nebulous, conceptual, and often unrealistically lofty. Goals, especially if they are “S.M.A.R.T.” goals, actually set us up for success. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable/ Meaningful, Adaptive, Realistic/Relevant, and TimeBound. Take the vague resolution “I want to drink less”, for example, and apply the SMART model to it. Instead of vagueness, we have a goal that sounds like this: “My goal is to decrease and manage my stress without drinking any alcohol by taking 30-minute meditative walks at least 4 days per week for the next six months.” That’s a goal we can actually find success with!

Finally, once your SMART goals have been set, take the next best step. Take the first 30 minute meditative walk. If that’s too much right now, take the next best step with only a 15 minute meditative walk, until you can work your way up to the full 30 minutes. Something really is better than nothing. You can do this! Meaningful, small increments of change in your life still count as “progress” as you work toward your goals. Remember to be self-gracious!

We aren’t perfect, and we will have setbacks even with healthy self-grace, SMART goals, and taking the next best step. But, as long as we surround ourselves with a community of people who will help us stand back up when we fall down, setbacks are not the end of our journey. Together, we can better ourselves and the world around us. ______________________________________________

Just An Observation

By Janet Beam

Elvis Presley I have been a huge fan of Elvis Presley since he began his singing career and his songs were first played on the radio. Here is a fact that is hard to get your head around – Elvis would have been 87 on Jan. 8, 2022. Can you even imagine that? I can’t. He will forever be young, slim, drop-dead handsome and the most charismatic performer ever. I never got to see him in person, but I just know that if he had ever met me, he would have been smitten and I would have been Mrs. Elvis Presley, not Priscilla.

Yes, I was once one of those crazy teenaged girls screaming during his appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show (where he was only shown from the waist up). As a teenager, my bedroom walls were plastered with pictures of Elvis cut from magazines, newspapers and anywhere else I could find them. I had scrapbooks full of clippings about him and every record he released until I got married.

Other things then took priority such as supporting us while my husband went to Purdue and putting food on the table.

Just a few note-worthy statistics about Elvis – he sold more than 1 billion records worldwide, appeared in 31 feature films, won three Grammy awards for his gospel music, named one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970, and gave nearly 1,100 concert performances between 1969 and 1977.

His generosity was and is legendary. In addition to cars, cash and jewelry he gave away somewhat randomly, in 1961 he gave a benefit concert in Hawaii and raised over $65,000 toward the building of the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Quite a large sum of money in 1961. The enthusiasm for the project was beginning to wane, but he kick-started it again and the next year, the Memorial was built. The tickets for his 1973 “Aloha from Hawaii” TV special carried no price tag; the members of the audience were asked to pay what they could afford. His Foundation continues to contribute worldwide.

His home and sanctuary, Graceland, is one of the most visited homes in America, 600,000 people visit annually.

I have never been, but it is on my bucket list for this year.

He was born on January 8, 1935 and died on August 16, 1977 at the age of 42, yet he lives on in the hearts of his millions of fans. When he was once asked what he thought of being called The King, he replied there is only one King – Jesus Christ.

Just an observation. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Sometimes I worry about your kind,” Archy said.

“Your cultural literacy is headed toward low tide in these times.”

I had to agree. Parents and legislators are bound to see that children are taught according to their particular viewpoints.

“Teaching is not a linear task. You have to start with the simplest story and expand it as the child’s ability to understand widens,” the squirrel explained. “Like Santa Claus, but with a wider cast of characters. Small children are entertained by stories, but as they grow they need to learn that history is not simple and not static. What they’ve learned in the past is not carved in stone. What we learn can change and that’s normal. The teacher’s job is to teach them how to take what they learn and apply critical thinking.”

I said that many people are critical about critical thinking these days.

“Education is a lifelong pursuit, or at least it should be,” Archy explained. “A competent human should know the difference between Frederick Douglass and Stephen Douglas. Teaching isn’t dictating facts, it’s sharing them and letting others learn to make sense of them. Children should learn from the parents, their teachers, their friends and others in the community. And if they find out that America is not perfect, they can try to find a way to make it better.”

I asked Archy if that meant there was hope for today’s children.

“Yes,” he said. “But If humans pride themselves in ignoring what should be common knowledge they’ll end up with a bad case of long haul stupid. _____________________________________________

Don’t Let Foil Spoil Your Potted Plants

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Colorful foil on potted plants All stores wrap colored foil around the pots of plants they sell.

Poinsettias and Christmas cactus during the holiday season.

Around the Easter lilies and hydrangeas in spring are wrapped.

Miniature trees like lemon cypress and lucky bamboo are wrapped throughout the year.

Weekly Recipes

Plants are wrapped to make them attractive in the consumer’s home; the foil hides the inexpensive green or brown plastic pot most plants are grown in. Often the foil wrapped plants die in a couple of weeks. How discouraging. What did I do to kill the lovely healthy poinsettia?

You did not remove the foil, when you watered, water is caught in bottom of the foil so now the plant is sitting in water, the plant’s roots rot because the roots are wet and unable to breathe. Plant dies.

What to do?

1. Remove the foil.

2. If you want the foil around plant a little longer, simply poke several tiny holes in bottom of foil, set the plant on a tray to catch drained water. You are able to enjoy the pretty foiled plant longer.

3. Remember the plant needs to have the excess water drained off in order to survive. You can remove the foil, set plant in sink, water it, let it drain before putting foil back on. . (This method of watering is true for all house plants.)

Plants like Christmas cactus or lucky bamboo, should be planted in a permanent container; make sure there are holes in bottom of container to drain excess water away.

Water these by setting in sink and letting it drain well, then move to its location with a plant saucer under it.

Bot any plants lately?

We have so much proof about the benefits of being a reader. In a recent special report in Education Week, “How to Nurture Lifelong Readers in a Digital Age,” assistant editor Sarah D.Sparks writes, “Developing the habit of long-form and pleasure reading is associated with significantly better academic achievement across subjects. Analyses of reading behavior and achievement data from both the National Assessment of Educational Progress and the Program for International Student Assessment show students who report reading for pleasure or that reading is one of their favorite pastimes have higher general reading achievement.”

Perhaps our current disconnect between the benefits of reading and the lack of people actually doing it is understandable. The events of the past year have changed our routines in nearly all aspects of life.

But at a time when so much entertainment was off limits, curling up in a comfy chair with a great book was very much still allowed. So much like learning how to order groceries online or schedule Covid tests, we can also re-examine our reading habits in 2022.

After all, striving toward helping your child grow into a well-rounded, confident person is likely toward the top of your resolutions this year and every year, and it’s a goal that is within your reach. It starts with building excitement and routines around reading at home.

What’s in a Name?

Stories behind Hendricks County Place Names Place names often have a tie-in with some little-known local history. Here is an example.

Butternut Island

While Indiana was among the Union States during the Civil War, and contributed approximately 210,000 troops to the cause, there were those Hoosiers who sided with the Confederacy. They may have been refugees from the Southern states or local residents with family or strong feelings about the Southern cause. Confederate soldiers’ uniforms were often dyed with bark from the butternut tree resulting in a gray-brown color. Supporters of the Confederacy sometimes wore a “badge” made from a cross-section of a butternut.

Four and a half miles north of Danville, and two miles west was a neighborhood that locals called Butternut Island. This was not a lake-front area and the term “island” likely referred to a surrounding swampy area.

A school house was located in the area. The September 28, 1871 issue of the Hendricks County Union carried this query: “Who wants to teach school on Butternut Island? A good house and very well furnished. A well of good water, a nice yard, with a good board fence, plenty of children to keep the teacher awake.”

The November 3, 1871 Union reported, “About twenty-five Democrats and five Republican voters reside on Butternut Island.

A little ways northeast of Butternut Island was a neighborhood called “Cold Corner.” The area was described as another “Confederate Crossroads” and according to the May 30, 1872 issue of the Union, “its productions, tadpoles, cutworms and Democrats.”

Those supporting the Union had disdain for the “Butternuts.” An incident took place near Plainfield when a man wearing a butternut badge on his hat was stopped by a former Union solider. “This is a free country and I can wear what I please,” the man said. The former soldier replied, “The devil you can. I have seen these emblems at the front and I allow no man to wear them in my presence.”

The feeling lingered for years after “the late unpleasantness” as the Civil War was euphemistically called. In a story from the early 1900s, a grandmother saw her grandson in his Boy Scout uniform for the first time and demanded he take off that “Butternut” outfit.

What Are You Reading?

Janet Beam’s “Just an Observation” column in yesterday’s newspaper was about exploring cemeteries. I don’t know Janet Beam, but thought you might be able to pass along some information to her. Judging from her article, I think she would greatly appreciate the book Stories in Stone: A Field Guide to Cemetery Symbolism and Iconography by Douglas Keister. The book is available, both new and used, through Amazon.

My wife and I have long been fascinated by exploring old cemeteries. In fact, we’ve taken both basic and advanced classes in tombstone repair and renovation, although we haven’t worked on any cemeteries for several years.

Anyway, I think Janet would enjoy the book and hope you can pass the information along.

Take care, Sam Carman __________ When my sister and I were 7 and 10 years old (respectively) we moved to Greencastle to live in the house that our Grandmother lived in as a girl. In fact we shared the same bedroom she and her sister shared growing up.

Thanks.

Start Talking: School Boards & Politics

Two friends of The Republican, Philip Gulley and David Winters, have agreed to share their differing viewpoints on mutally agreed upon topics. Gulley, a Quaker pastor, will take the progressive side; Winters, a Danville Town Councilman, will give the conservative view.

We hope you will read both contributions with an open mind and genuine effort to understand that “the other side” isn’t an enemy. We welcome your comments, but please keep them brief. If you have topics for future essays, let us know and we will add them to the list.

Our aim is to start civil conversations that lead to better understanding on both sides.

This week, our writers give their opinions on a recent movement to have candidates for school boards, heretofore a nonpartisan position, declare their politicial party.

How would this change the voter’s view of the candiates?

Mr. Gulley and Mr. Winters present their views in this month’s Start Talking essays.

By Philip Gulley No other building in the recent history of Indiana has been the repository of so many bad ideas as the Indiana statehouse. The latest head-scratcher, a proposal by Representative J.D. Prescott, will require school board candidates to declare their political affiliation so voters might know where candidates reside on the political specPHILIP GULLEY trum. The use of the word ________________________ “spectrum” implies there is a robust range of political positions in Indiana, each one wielding its fair share of power and privilege. Alas, there is no more a political spectrum in our state than there are glaciers. They once were present here, but not in living memory.

Nevertheless, Hoosiers of every stripe have long recognized the value of not politicizing the one segment of our cultural life untainted (well, mostly) by partisan overreach—our community schools. Now Representative Prescott believes what schools desperately need, more than pay raises for teachers, more than a funding platform that acknowledges and corrects the vast difference in school funding between Carmel and Gary, more than legislation to curb children’s access to guns, before all of that, what we desperately need is to make sure no one can run for school board without paying homage to the political party in Indiana often mistaken for God—the Republican Party.

For that is precisely what is at stake, given the near impossibility of a Democrat winning local office.

Were this the Republican Party of our ancestors, who with Lincoln fought injustice, who with Eisenhower invested in our infrastructure, who with Nixon initiated the forerunner of today’s Pell grants, I would be less concerned. But this Republican Party will not have children taught the shameful role of racism in American history, this party rejects science, whether in vaccination, evolution, or contraception. This party has abandoned and defunded public education, sending their children and our tax dollars to private schools, doing grievous harm to our common bond. Now it wishes to ensure no person can oversee public education without first swearing their fealty to the one organization most opposed to it. If this idea takes hold and becomes law, we can honestly say the fox has been placed in charge of the henhouse.

Can we allow one civic institution to remain free of party excesses, whether Republican or Democrat? Can we acknowledge that millions of Hoosiers reside outside these parties and want their schools to do the same? My children are grown and gone, but I do not want my granddaughter to have a Republican education, nor a Democrat one.

I want her to be vigorously educated, exposed to a wide range of ideas, taught history as it happened, not as we wish it had happened. Should she wish to pray in school, just as her grandfather did before every test, I want her to do that without Republican or Democratic assistance. If there is some merit in reading the Ten Commandments, then she should read them, just as she should read the five pillars of Islam, the Christian beatitudes, and the Iroquois Great Law of Peace. If football and basketball are generously funded in our Republican schools, so too should music, art and theater be similarly endowed.

If Prescott’s suggestion can accomplish these lofty goals, I would happily support it, but history suggests otherwise. Instead, only those who have proven their faithfulness to party dogma will be chosen to guide our schools.

From the start, their chief priority will be the furtherance of the party, not the betterment of the child. For this reason alone, Prescott should don the dunce cap and sit in the corner. _____________________________________________

By David Winters Recently, the Indiana House of Representatives introduced House Bill 1182 that would make a change to school board elections that will most certainly elicit passionate opinions both in favor of and against said legislation. The law under consideration would require school board candiDAVID WINTERS dates to declare their party ________________________ affiliation and then run in a May primary against other party candidates to secure nomination and placement on that year’s November ballot.

One could argue that discussion of this change is only their boards have received regarding the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the concept of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) that is wrought with controversy.

There is also, in the mind of some, a political philosophy associated with the level of covid protocols that have been implemented (or not) in schools. Political philosophy of the decision makers subsequently became an area of interest for concerned parents, as well it should.

The question the lawmakers are trying to help voters answer is: What are the political beliefs and worldview of school board candidates in the state of Indiana? That is a great question and I certainly agree that it is important to understand the motives of those in elected position. However, the sub-question in this matter is, does an R or D next to a name of a candidate truly give us a glimpse into their political soul?

In most cases I believe we can glean from party affiliation a general idea in the direction a particular candidate would take his or her office (or town, or state, or country).

However, it is not a be all-end all to that assessment. Take for instance West Virginia Senator, Joe Manchin, a Democrat, bucking his party in recent weeks on key legislation supported by Mr. Biden. He clearly is not voting the way Washington, DC democrats would normally vote. We could also consider our own Governor Eric Holcomb. He has the “R” next to his name but many who consider themselves Republicans across the state did not agree with his attempt to diminish the role of the constitution and three branches of government, as he took action in 2020 and 2021 to “stop the spread” of a virus. This was evidenced by historical support of the Libertarian candidate in the race who undoubtedly received votes from, otherwise, loyal Republicans, because of his strong stance on the importance of liberty.

What is the answer to this fair and important question?

I am not opposed to the requirement of school board candidates declaring a party. I think it is important that parents and the community have an idea on where political philosophies lie. However, that is not enough. What might be better is for voters to do their homework. Research the candidates. Ask them to have a cup of coffee or lunch with you so that you can find out what motivates them. Email them. Call them. Ask questions of them. Having been a candidate myself for a local office, I welcomed and looked forward to voter interaction. Dialogue and relationships are important as we forge ahead to make our community, or school, the best it can be.

Bridal Wars Comes to Clayton

family, friends, co-workers etc. Each team competes against each other in various challenges like lip sync battles, bouquet toss, a cupcake eating contest and creating wedding night lingerie using toilet paper.

“I wanted to do something fun in the wedding event space. The girls have fun with the contests and they get to meet and interact with local wedding vendors as well,” Jubert said.

Not only is it a fun event for brides-to-be but you’ll find a variety of wedding venue owners, bakeries, DJ’s, caterers, wedding planners and many more open to sharing their business with brides across the state.

Dr. Syverson and Mike Baker signing the contract. __________________________________________________________ Rendering of the Tri-West State Bank Stadiutm. __________________________________________________________

Northwest Hendricks County School Corporation announced a partnership with State Bank that provides exclusive naming rights to the Tri-West high school football stadium for the next five years.

The financial partnership, which the School Board unanimously approved, was signed prior to the school board meeting on Tuesday, January 11, 2022. The stadium will be called State Bank stadium.

“State Bank has a long-standing commitment to and great reputation in the community, and we are pleased to have the hometown bank support the Tri-West School Community Schools and the students we serve,” said Northwest Hendricks County School Corporation Superintendent, Scott Syverson.

The partnership provides exclusive football stadium naming rights to State Bank and financial support for the school corporation’s education foundation. State Bank is already a long-time contributor to Tri-West’s Dollars for Scholars scholarship program.

The stadium revitalization project, which is the first of a three-year $25 million dollar athletic complex improvement project, will be completed by August 2022. The stadium will include State Bank signage on a new training facility at the north end of the field and on the on the press box, and fans will be greeted from the new south parking lot with a new State Bank gateway arch.

“For us, this partnership with Tri-West exemplifies what it means to be a community bank. We jumped at the opportunity to support our local school and to highlight our bank’s rich heritage in the Northwest Hendricks County area,” said State Bank President & CEO, Mike Baker.

“And we look forward to interacting with our customers and the greater community as they come to experience events at State Bank Stadium.”

Situated less than a half a mile from Tri-West high school is State Bank’s Lizton office, which served as its headquarters for over 100 years. The 111-year-old bank “We have local gyms or fitness studios, spas, salons and lots of related vendors. We wear comfortable clothes at our events, so even the vendors can come wearing their business logo t-shirt and sneakers. It’s a laid-back environment,” Jubert said.

It’s been nearly three years since the event has taken place in Indianapolis and Jubert thinks they’ve found the perfect location.

On May 15, Bridal Wars will visit Martha’s Orchard in Clayton from 1 – 4 p.m.

Doors open at 12:30 p.m.

The first 50 brides to register come for free and team members register for $20 per person.

“There’s no cutoff for how many groups can attend. I think our largest events in Boston and

Houston have seen over 500 girls. A typical event has 50-60 brides. They can make their own team shirt’s or dress up in themed outfits,” Jubert said.

When COVID hit the U.S., Bridal Wars took a hiatus and when they returned, games were changed to support more social distancing.

“We had some active challenges like tug-of-war and things like that. For now, we’re trying to make it as safe and fun as possible. Hopefully, in the future we can bring some of those other games back,” Jubert said.

Overall, the hope is to give brides a special day and something everyone will remember for years to come.

also has offices in Pittsboro, Avon, Brownsburg, and Plainfield in Hendricks County as well as Boone, Hamilton and soon Tippecanoe counties. The Bank will have the opportunity to personally interact with business and personal customers at a lot of Tri-West football games.

Tri-West follows a number of other high school athletic programs around the state who’ve capitalized on the opportunity to align with community businesses on athletic venue sponsorships. The naming rights will assist Tri-West in maintaining the stadium’s new state-of-the-art athlete and fan experience and future development of the athletic complex.

Plainfield Students Use Their Imaginations at Custom Lab

David Wilson mixes paint colors to match his test tube results at the Imagination Lab. ____________________________________________________

Fifth graders from Clarks Creek Elementary learn how to design and print a 3D image. ___________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson The Imagination Lab at Plainfield School Corporation has been operating for four and a half years now, promoting a new way of learning and giving students unique opportunities.

Though the lab building is located in Clarks Creek Elementary School, the program itself, is considered independent of any particular school.

“This building was the natatorium when it was a middle school back in the 80’s,” said Tracy Ballinger, Director of the Imagination Lab. “When the building became an elementary school, we looked at the options for this space.

Under the leadership of Superintendent Scott Olinger, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Mary Giesting and the school board it was decided the best use of the space was a handson learning center.”

Before COVID changed things for everyone, students were attending the Imagination Lab nine times per year or approximately once per month. That equals morning and afternoon sessions every day of the week for Ballinger, who designs the curriculum for each visit.

Though students are getting a few less visits throughout the year due to social distancing right now, the activities and opportunities are still something that will stick with them as they move into the next grade or middle school.

“It’s often called a STEM lab, and we definitely focus on those but art is one of the topics we add here, so if we had to come up with an acronym, it’d be STEAM. Ultimately, what is the outcome we’re looking for? Hands on learning about any topic we can get to the student in a tactile way,” Ballinger said.

Students arrive by bus on what they call “an odyssey” with official name tags and a mindset of investigation, discovery and experimentation.

“Last semester they looked at invisible ink, they wrote messages and then used reagents to see the messages. That

was based on the science of acids and bases. Now, they’re looking at what are acids and bases,” Ballinger said.

“Third grade is investigating sound. They listen to what it sounds like on Mars and look at why sound is different here than there. Another group is looking at an intro into 3D, through a lesson on topography.”

The lab is supported by the school system as well as many community organizations, giving them some of the top technology and materials to work with. Several 3D printers allow the older students to begin designing and printing 3D images. An augmented reality sand table, donated by the Plainfield Rotary Club shows students how

In another project, students match the topography examples to places in the real world where one might find that type of landscape.

topography changes based on circumstances such as water, wind etc.

“The other thing we thought through when designing the program is how students can’t be what they can’t see.

That’s something Dr. Giesting said often,” Ballinger said.

“If they never see what it is to be a scientist, it doesn’t occur to them to be a direction they can take. So many girls decided that they’re not good at math or science, so they don’t pursue those fields. The earlier we can get them interested in other careers, the better.”

Fifth grader, David Wilson loves coming to the lab that opened when he was in the second grade.

“I like the experiments. I’ve always wanted to be a mechanic, so I like getting to work with my hands,” Wilson said.

Upon opening the Imagination Lab, the middle school created a space called the Idea Lab, a natural flow, knowing that students would be coming to them, expecting a different way of learning.

Ballinger says next on the horizon is the high school.

While details aren’t official, she knows the goal is to enhance hands-on learning in some way as well as follow students who are accustomed to it through their high school careers.

While progress is somewhat difficult to measure, Ballinger looks for other ways to see success.

“Plainfield is a high performing district already, so our goal was not to increase test scores,” Ballinger said. “We want to see them growing into successful adults and walking away with things like an appreciation for art. That’s hard to measure but one thing we can see for sure is engagement. It’s something different than what they’re doing in a classroom. Our goal is to bring joy to learning and we are definitely seeing that.”

Volunteers at the Imagination Lab can be parents, grandparents or community members. The only requirement is to pass a background check. Visit https://www.plainfield. k12.in.us/o/the-imagination-lab or email TheImaginationLab@plainfield.k12.in.us

Technology Modernizes Van Gogh’s Timeless Works State Bank Promotions mimicked the feeling of being inside Gogh’s artwork.

They explored The Starry Night like the swirling sky of light and darkness was really above them or the rippling reflection in the water actually at their feet. The crows in “Wheatfield with Crows” burst into a black winged life. And you could almost feel the chill of the added rain whilst in the fields of “The Harvest.”

After the show were a variety of Van Gogh-themed activities. There was a Van Gogh-themed café called The Café Terrace 1888 (based on the painting of the same name).

Photo stations took and edited your picture into a Van Gogh-style portrait. You could read history books and play an interactive game that allowed you to magnify details on certain paintings. Various models of some of Gogh’s works with extra information were displayed along with a few works from comparable artists like Paul Cezanne and Paul Gaugin. Also featured were sketches of “The Starry Night” and one work from the Sunflower series, and a three dimensional version of Gogh’s painting “The Bedroom” with the furniture painted to copy Gogh’s infamous brush strokes.

After the exhibit, visitors could buy merchandise at the gift shop including Gogh-themed mini paintings, T-shirts, mugs, and umbrellas. Lasting about an hour and a half, the show ended around 2 p.m. ______________________________________________ Van Gogh’s famous sunflowers were projected on the walls and floors during the production at Newfields. ____________________________________________________

By: Olivia O’Neal At 12:30 on Saturday, January 8th, the Newfields museum hosted a Van Gogh exhibit sponsored and organized by THE LUME Melbourne. Using animated renditions of many of Vana Gogh’s paintings along with music and short excerpts from some of his own writings, the artist’s history was effectively brought to life.

Displays such as the animated work “Inside Out”

by Harrison Grant, the animated work “Colorful Dream” by 77 Production, and the dance production “Our Starry Night” by Ross Calia, were also featured.

Hosting Exchange Students: A Unique Experience for Everyone

Sanz Ruiz, with host parents Mike and Nancy Reed, was able to experience a traditional American graduation in 2021. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson

Connie Whikehart of Avon hosted her first foreign exchange student in 2001. Her youngest daughter had experience with befriending other foreign exchange students and the family enjoyed their friendship so much, they decided to host themselves.

“Leo just fit in really well. I think it helped because Kate (Whikehart’s daughter) was his age. He wasn’t trying to navigate school on his own and they became friends. There were other foreign exchange students at the school; Bruno was from Brazil, Lorenzo was from Italy and they all fit into this fun little group,” Whikehart said.

A German native, Leo enjoyed going to the German Meat Market downtown, gathering authentic items and cooking a meal for the Whikeharts. The family took trips to Disney World, Washington D.C. and New York City and

each month, the foreign exchange program would host a get-together to go bowling, tour a historical site and more.

Since then, the Whikeharts have hosted six other students and each experience is different.

“We’ve had kids from Germany, Norway, Vietnam and Columbia,” Whikehart said. It was interesting to see the cultural differences.

For example, Leo thought it was strange you couldn’t just walk everywhere or ride your bicycle. You had to make arrangements to travel by car. On the other side, kids would ask him if he owned a television, which he thought was so funny.”

The STS Foundation is one of several foreign exchange programs that pair host families with a student overseas. Coordinator, Tim Beals said the process is fairly simple.

“Host families complete a background check and then I go to the home

Medicare Assistance

A rewarding volunteer program at Hendricks County Senior Services is looking for volunteers for SHIP, the State Health Insurance Program.

This program is a free health insurance counseling service for people with Medicare. This is provided by the Indiana State Department of insurance and funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

and make sure everything meets with our standards.

The student needs a bed, study area, transportation through the adults in the home and we check references,” Beals said. “Anyone and everyone can be a host family, it doesn’t matter if they are single, married, same sex couple, retired etc. As long as everyone 18 and over passes a background check, we’re happy to work with you.”

Host families are responsible for living space and three meals per day, but students come with their own spending money to go out with friends, buy clothes or souvenirs.

Beals says the majority of students have had formal English training, so language isn’t a barrier. It’s more about experiencing cultural differences on both sides of the coin.

“Most other countries don’t have school sports, cheerleading is unheard of, and the idea of school spirit is new to them. Our holidays are different here and the students just enjoy learning about the American culture that they’ve primarily seen on television,” Beals said.

Mike and Nancy Reed of Anderson had the opportunity to host 15-yearold Isabelle from Seville, Spain last year. The school classified her as a senior so she could experience prom, graduation and other American traditions.

“Isabelle just settled right in,” Mike said. “It was as good of an experience for us as it was for her. She connected right away to our three granddaughters and we were able to form relationships with her parents and family.”

The young student made friends easily and quickly plugged into high school life.

On her 16th birthday, the Reed’s took Isabelle on a road trip for a special photo opportunity.

“She joined the swim team and a club that did community outreach,” Nancy said. “She went with the club to paint a mural or pick up trash in the community. I took pictures of her every so often to document the experience; her first time seeing a cornfield, the first snow and her 16th birthday.”

Not only did Isabelle have a completely new experience, the Reed’s learned new things as well.

“I’ve always wanted to learn a second language, so I’ve been studying Spanish and we’re going to Seville to meet the family in April,” Mike said.

The message both the Reed’s and Whikeharts took away from the experience was just how similar we all really are.

“There is so much more that unites us than divides us,” Mike said. “This experience just confirmed that.

Other than the fact that she spoke Spanish, we weren’t that different and now we’ve formed relationships

across the world. They know how much we cared for her.”

The Whikeharts still hear from Leo about once a year.

“He’s such a neat person. He went to school to become an engineer and did an engineer without borders program, going into villages in Africa to bring in water,” Whikehart said.

“He just has this personality; nothing scares him, he’s willing to try anything.

It was definitely an experience that we all enjoyed.”

The exchange program coordinator will check in with the family, the student and the school on a regular basis and organizes events to bring everyone together.

They can assist in finding resources or helping with any questions or concerns.

Nineteenth century executives needed a place to gather, sort, file, and store the large volume of papers, correspondence, and records for their businesses.

William S. Wooten had a desk for that.

Called the “King of Desks” by his contemporaries, Wooten’s patented desk was the epitome of the Victorian obsession for “a place for everything, and everything in its place.”

When closed, the desk was an elegant piece of furniture; but upon opening it became an entire office, condensed into a small space. With over 100 compartments and fold-down writing space, it was indeed a place where “order reigned supreme.”

Born in 1835, the eighth of 13 children, William S. Wooten was a birthright member of the Society of

Friends and became a recorded Quaker minister.

He and his wife, Docia, moved to Danville around 1880, where he became a minster at the Danville Friends Church.

The ministry was not his only occupation while living in Danville. He purchased Allen Furnas’ tree nursery on West Mill Street, later building a greenhouse on South Jefferson Street.

He also worked as a carpenter on local projects,

including the Estep building that still stands on the northwest corner of Main and Washington streets.

William S. Wooten & Company opened an office in Indianapolis in 1870.

There was some talk of establishing the factory in Danville for the manufacture of office furniture, but instead, one was located on South Alabama street in Indianapolis. Wooten received his first patent for an improved desk in 1874, and his last in 1881.

Wooten’s desks came in four grades: ordinary, standard, extra, and superior, and in three sizes. His client list included captains of industry like John D. Rockefeller, Joseph Pulitzer, and Charles Scribner, as well as prominent leaders like President Ulysses S. Grant and Queen Victoria.

William S. Wooten died in 1907, at the age of 72.

His patent desks remain a highly-sought item among collectors, commanding prices from $20,000 to $250,000. __________

Danville Tourist Cabin To Host Open House

By: Olivia O’Neal

Since her toddler years, Stephanie Burdsall has been a devoted soccer player, playing for both Danville Community High School and the University of Indianapolis. As a striker, forward, and occasional central midfielder, she’s won high school and college accolades and even an All-Conference 1st Team award with a scholarship that carried her to play in college STEPHANIE AND HER (2015-2019) and later win DAD, MIKE BURDSALL team awards like MVP, Forward of the Year, and Offensive Player of the Year.

Winning a conference game several times with Danville and reaching the conference tournament multiple times at UIndy are some of her soccer accomplishments.

In terms of actual distance, she’s been to Kansas City with her UIndy team and Berlin, Germany for the Olympic Development Program state team.

Burdsall began playing soccer at a young age, mainly as a way to mimic her two older brothers, also soccer players: “I most likely was trying to follow whatever they were doing!” They served as a source of soccer-knowledge and “toughened” her up “along the way.”

For her 21 years of playing, her parents have been the most supportive and helpful, almost always attending her games, “They even drove to the Kansas City games when I played for UIndy.” Her father, Mike Burdsall, even gave her a four-leaf clover before every game (she still has the one from her first college game when she scored the lone goal of the night and won the game 1-0).

Lastly, her club coach, Brian Holmer, was someone who “cared about our futures and invested a great deal of time into making connections between them and college coaches,” she said.

Although not currently involved in soccer, since her graduation Burdsall has competed on adult teams and “enjoyed bonding with the girls” of the Danville girls soccer team when briefly helping with coaching. ______________________________________________
