Career & Trade Fairs

Hendricks College Network’s (HCN) annual Hendricks County College & Career Fair and Apprenticeship & Trades Fair will take place at Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds & Conference Complex on Thursday, March 10 from 6:30-8 p.m. College & Career Fair will take place in the Expo Hall while the Apprenticeship & Trades Fair will be in the Auditorium.

“HCN works hard to present opportunities that provide access to all levels of post-high school education and training to our residents of all ages,” explained Brandy Wethington Perrill, Executive Director of Hendricks College Network. “We always say these fairs have something for any and every one. We have decided to take a chance on providing BOTH FAIRS at the fairgrounds in hopes that students and families will see the vast possibilities whether they make time to attend just one or both. With both events at the same complex, the community will have the opportunity to visit with 125+ education and training providers as well as employers offering training.”

Teens Talk

By Melissa Gibson Sheltering Wings provides emergency housing for survivors of domestic abuse and their children but they have many resources and programs that reach far into the community as well. One program brings awareness to teens in Hendricks County schools; the Teens That Talk Youth Council.

Statistics show one in ten high school students will be in a relationship that is abusive, whether physically, mentally or sexually.

The Youth Council aims to change that.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and students from across the county in the Teen Council are bringing the news to their school with programs, special theme days and upcoming events.

Avon High School student Emma Cooper learned about Sheltering Wings thought a charity swim meet with her community swim team.

“We’re having a Wear Orange Day to raise awareness for teen dating violence and we’re also promoting a healthy relationship pledge,” Cooper said. “We are also promoting Hop for Hope at Sky Zone later this month.”

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: Character and intellect were formerly rated by an appraisal of the forehead. Considerably flawed as measurement, its standards yet defy any modern phrenology.

The Republican made the forehead ideal known in 1904. “The smooth, rounded, slightly convex forehead is the most beautiful.

“The ideal head rounds out globe-like above the ears. The height and width of a woman’s head should be one inch less than a man’s.”

The paper offered no recourse if readers strayed from the ideal.

That year, it reported “a good dairy cow generally has a wide forehead, which denotes brain power. A strong brain is necessary to supply force to the internal organs.”

Human height was six times the length of the feet, according to 1882 news. Deviations were “a departure from the highest beauty in proportion.” The uppermost point of the forehead to the chin was supposed to be a tenth of one’s height.

Subscription-targeted readers in 1887 saw that Frank Leslie’s illustrated magazine contained an article, “Forehead,” by Dr. Joseph Simms. Simms argued against “some popular ideas and shows that a genius often has lurked under a receding brow, and idiocy or crime under a well-developed one.”

An anarchist who mutilated a valuable oil painting in New York in 1896 was described as “a small man, with low forehead” who used “vile language.”

For some reason, the Advertiser in 1852 described Lajos Kossuth, a Hungarian nobleman and politician. There’s a bronze bust of the guy in the U.S. Capitol. Horace Greeley and Daniel Webster thought a lot of him.

Kossuth’s forehead was “very full, round and high, and particularly well developed in the regions of ideality and benevolence.”

Importantly, his whiskers and mustache “quite conceal the expression of the mouth – an object more desirable in diplomacy than oratory.”

Humorist Bill Nye analyzed one of his chickens and in 1890 revealed his findings: “Careful study of the hen convinces me her low, retreating forehead is a true index to her limited reasoning faculties and lack of memory, ideality, imagination, calculation and spirituality.”

He believed she could not appreciate humor.

Nye once owned a large rooster that stood “seven hands high and had feet on him which would readily break down a whole corn field if he walked through it.”

The rooster was a failure, however. “He lacked the courage of his convictions, and socially was not regarded as a success.”

An Indianapolis doctor kept the articulated skeleton of a murderer in his office in 1879, along with the skull of the killer’s wife. Her skull was “almost half as large again” as her husband’s.

The forehead of his skull was “narrow and retreating, altogether repulsive looking; it is that of an animal.”

An occasional forehead injury was reported. A guy ringing a church bell was clapper-smacked when it dislodged and struck his forehead 25 feet below.

Many words were devoted to large and small heads in September 1883.

Lord Bacon asserted that men “of great intellectual powers have large and massive heads.”

On the other hand, a Journal of Science writer pooh-poohed the notion. “An examination” of depictions of world-famous men “almost tends the other way.”

Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Frederick the Great all apparently sported receding foreheads.

Lord Byron’s head was “remarkably small.”

The ancient geniuses, including Plato, Aristotle and Epicurus all had “what may be called an ordinary or every-day forehead.”

Others were downright low-browed.

Bottom line: great men can have piddling pates.

“Scientific investigation” in 1896 asserted that premature wrinkles and misshapen facial features can be blamed on feather pillows.

Check it out for yourself next time you’re in public.

Look for telltale hand and pillow dents. Tiny, deep-shrunken eyes? Excessive rubbing.

Infant noses were “almost always but shapeless lumps of soft gristle, and can be molded into grotesque forms.”

Improvident use of the handkerchief during sniffles can tilt the nose up.

Subsequent prolonged and patient kneading can restore and even enhance facial features.

A “Powerful Thinker” with a massive forehead in 1895 explained how a farmer can air navigate. Two clothespin-shaped sticks are passed through the straps of his leather boots, and the farmer “gently and firmly raises himself from the Earth.” Once the Earth has sufficiently revolved, the farmer carefully lets himself down.

AIR NAVIGATION, 1895 Paul Miner Lizton ______________________________________________________________________

Publisher’s Point of View Term Limits This week our guest writers, David Winters and Phil Gulley, share perspectives on the topic, “Are term limits a good idea?” Before commenting further on this, I would like to share an observation. At our first lunch meeting to discuss this idea, there was significant concern on my part that something upsetting would be said and this would all fall apart.

These two gentlemen couldn’t be much further apart on their political ideologies.

Well, I would like to share that at our monthly lunch meetings, we find ourselves becoming fast friends. We are learning about each other’s families, how our health has been affecting us as we get older, how our jobs have been going and we even discuss politics.

I shouldn’t speak for the other two, but I am going to; there is no doubt that we are influencing each other in positive ways.

So, while the series is called “Start Talking” I believe it is morphing into the “Ask someone you disagree with out to lunch and offer to buy” series. Offering to buy goes a long way with these two. The conservative likes it because he can save his money and the progressive likes it because someone else is buying his lunch. And I like it because I get a good meal with a couple of not like-minded guys. It’s my treat.

As for the topic of term limits, hang on to your hats, this is a subject they both agree on. However, the reasoning used to support their conclusions may be more of an insight into what drives their ideologies than any of the previous topics.

Hendricks County Senior Services Teens Talk (Continued From Page A-1 Offers Help for Family Caregivers By: Marina Keers, Executive Director Hendricks County Senior Services “Since I became a caregiver, I’ve lost all my friends.”

These are words we hear far too frequently from men and women who are caregiving for their loved ones.

Whether that loved one is a parent, spouse, or adult child, there is a social and relational cost to caregiving.

According to the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP study, there are 9.5 million family caregivers in the United States.

That means that one in five Americans are caregiving for an adult with health or special functional needs.

The impact on family caregivers is significant and 23% say caregiving has made their own health worse and 45% say it has made a negative financial impact. Today’s family caregivers are Baby Boomers, Gen-Xers, and Millennials.

Caregiving can be incredibly rewarding and joyful. However, it can also be physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually draining. Avoiding caregiver burnout is essential if caregivers want to have more moments of joy with their loved one.

Friends can support caregiver’s emotional health by trying to stay connected. Some ways to stay connected include sending an encouraging card, calling and offering a listening (non-judgmental) ear, dropping off the church bulletin, or offering practical help like preparing a meal or planting flowers.

Hendricks County Senior Services provides support for caregivers in variety of ways.

The Senior Center is a great place to come with your loved one for a safe outing or healthy meal. Group exercise classes can reduce stress and improve physical health. Support groups offer fellowship and practical tips. Respite Care may also help you avoid burnout. You are not alone. We are here to encourage you along your journey.

Staff at Sheltering Wings wore orange this week to mark teen dating violence awareness. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Teens today deal with social media influences, texting and can even avoid face to face communication in some situations. These changes have led to abuse looking different in a variety of ways.

Melissa Echerd, Prevention and Education Officer at Sheltering Wings is the advisor for the Teen Council organization and said not only is abuse the physical sign one might see, but it includes obsessive texting, pressuring for photos, insisting the significant other shares their passwords or location and more.

“It’s so easy to say stuff online, through a screen,” Cooper said. “It’s harder to read the red flags online and people can get into bad situations. I think some people can be more manipulative online than in person and it’s hard to pick that up over the phone.”

The social media or texting aspect also eases teen fears or self-conscious behaviors, often opening up and sharing information they might not otherwise or even creating a persona that is different online than in real life. It can be a tricky situation to navigate.

“I’ve seen relationships that are toxic and controlling. My friends that have healthy relationships understand the value of their time and ambitions, they’re able to grow with their partner and still maintain their independence,” Waugh said. “The unhealthy relationships are usually all one-sided. I’ve seen friends isolate them-

selves and kind of give up on their own dreams and goals to make their partner happy.”

The teens’ hope is to spread the message that everyone deserves to have someone treat them well and with respect.

“I hope teens will be able to see that unhealthy doesn’t just mean physical abuse,” Cooper said.

“There’s a lot more manipulation and emotional abuse that happens and it’s harder to see, so I’m hoping they’ll take a second and assess their relationship.

Know there are resources available and know that everyone deserves to be valued and loved.”

Most of all, the Youth Council wants teens to know they are not alone.

“I hope students realize they can ask for help when they need it. We want to help and there are people that care about them,” Waugh said.

The Hop for Hope event is 4:30 to 8 p.m. Feb. 23 at Sky Zone Trampoline Park, 851 Columbia Rd., Plainfield. The cost to join is $5 and guests will receive free food, hear a live DJ, play lots of games and participate in a dodgeball tournament – all while learning more about healthy teen relationships.

The Youth Council meets every second Monday of the month to work on upcoming events, volunteer projects, and address issues facing teens in relationships.

To get involved, email Echerd at mecherd@shelteringwings.org or text 317-989-0385.

Found: A Way to Keep Kitty Off the Keyboard

Longtime pet lover and novice inventor Cameron Johnson shows how to assemble the S.K.A.T. Shield. ___________________________________________________

For Cameron Johnson, the inspiration struck when she was having her computer repaired and the technician asked if she had a cat, because the keyboard was full of cat hair.

Her pet liked to lie close by when Cameron was working on the computer, sometimes a little too close. If she got up and step the cat would draw closer to and sometimes on top of the keyboard.

Johnson thought, “There’s got to be a way...” and that’s how the S.K.A.T. Shield was invented.

The family pitched in to help the novice inventor. Her brother, Douglas Hough, helped design the tri-fold piece.

He also came up with the name, which stands for “Secures your Keyboard All the Time!”

Hardware & More, The Garden Gate, Karen’s Hair Salon, The North Salem State Bank, the churches, insurance offices, Volunteer Fire Dept & EMT’s, Ron Kneeland, our policeman protector.

Her nephew, Greg Hough designed the logo, a take off, and tribute, to the World War II cartoon, “Kilroy was here.” Cameron’s son Brent and granddaughter Calleigh provided the mock-up/hard design, and her daughter Kirsten was the project’s “sounding board” and “sense of reason” behind the final decisions.

The adjustable cardboard product was purposely left plain so purchasers could decorate it themselves.

The S.K.A.T. Shield was introduced at the Hendricks Humane’s 2021 Dogtona event at the fairgrounds. Currently the product is available at Speck’s Pet Supply in Avon, for $5.00, with a portion going to local pet rescues.

Out to Lunch THAI DISTRICT, Brownsburg

Just An Observation

By Janet Beam

Jam or Jelly I must preface this by saying that I am not a very good shopper. I usually come home from the grocery with not exactly the items I wanted. But in true American fashion, I must blame it all on someone else. If folks would just put items they decide not to buy back exactly where they found them, I would not have a cupboard full of things I don’t really want.

Take Smucker’s grape jelly for instance. We always have grape jelly on hands (as my mother-in-law liked to say). So when it was time to buy another jar, I headed to the store and grabbed the jar that was sitting with all the other jars of grape jelly, only to get it home and find it is grape jam. What is the difference, you say? Plenty, let me tell you!

My brother and I were raised on grape jelly since our mom always made it. She canned grape juice from the just picked grapes and then when she had the time she would turn that grape juice into grape jelly. It was the best! Grape jam is not made from grape juice; it is made from the crushed fruit. There is a distinct difference. Just say that I am not a fan of grape jam. There is also grape spread, which cannot com-pare to jelly either.

Even though I don’t like it, I cannot bring myself to throw the jam out. Waste not, want not. So I will suffer through spreading jam on my toast and try to learn at this late age to pay attention to what I am buying!

Letters To The Editor The Indiana legislature is considering legislation that would cut taxes on some tobacco products. Yep. You read that right. Just when we think lawmakers are going to work to improve the health of Hoosiers, they do this instead.

For tobacco taxes to reduce tobacco use, they must apply to all tobacco products at an equivalent rate to encourage people to quit rather than switch to a cheaper product and prevent youth from using any tobacco product. The tax cuts proposed would include reducing taxes on some e-cigarettes which have been a significant factor in the skyrocketing youth use rates. We must do better for Indiana’s youth.

This legislation favors the tobacco industry over Hoosiers’ health, and I ask Rep. Behning and Gov. Holcomb to oppose this effort.

Beth Harlin ______________________________________________

.The Power of Self-Affirmations Imagine you are playing a video game or board game with a friend, and the instructions clearly give each of you a role to play in the game: your friend is the proverbial “good guy”, and you are assigned the “bad guy” role.

You read through your character’s description and see words like “angry,” “vengeful,” “deceitful,” “desperate,” and “loathsome.” Throughout the game, you each have different choices presented to you that dictate the actions of your characters. Since you know your character’s role, what choices are you more likely to make? You’ll probably make the mean and nasty choices, based on your character’s narrative. What if you were able to change the narrative, though? What if you added the phrase “occasional potential to be kind-hearted” to your character’s description? Science says you’d be more likely to make a kind-hearted choice.

This game-character metaphor is a great tool to help us understand the power of what we think about and say to ourselves. To put it most simply, if we believe and say negative things about ourselves, we will feel and act more negatively; however, if we believe and say positive things about ourselves, we will feel and act more positively.

One of the earliest and best scientific studies about this phenomenon is the Self-Affirmation Theory study completed by Claude Steele in the 1980s. According to Steele’s theory, our self-talk/self-esteem mechanisms are activated whenever we feel our personal integrity or adequacy being threatened by someone or something. By practicing “self-affirmations”, speaking and thinking positive messages toward ourselves, we are better able to cope with these threats to our self-image, and ultimately have higher self-esteem and better outcomes.

If you’re anything like me, its at this point in the article that you may start feeling skeptical. So, for the skeptics, here are some more scientific conclusions about the power of self-affirmations: • “Self-affirmations have been shown to decrease health-deteriorating stress.” (Sherman et al., 2009; Critcher & Dunning, 2015). “Self-affirmation has been demonstrated to lower stress and rumination.” (Koole et al., 1999; Wiesenfeld et al., 2001) • “They can make us less likely to dismiss harmful health messages, responding instead with the intention to change for the better,” (Harris et al., 2007) and “more likely to eat more fruit and vegetables.” (Epton & Harris, 2008) • “They have been linked positively to academic achievement by mitigating GPA decline in students who feel left out at college.” (Layous et al., 2017) • “In terms of reducing negative thoughts, affirmations have been shown to help with the tendency to linger [less] on negative experiences.” (Wiesenfeld et al., 2001) • “Research done at the University of Arizona determined affirmations can be useful as a supplement [to] treatment for many depressed and/or anxious patients.”

I recommend you keep it simple. Once or twice per day, close your eyes and think about a phrase that aligns with your core values, but challenges you to think more positively about yourself, and repeat it a few times silently in your mind. It could be something broad like “I am worthy of being loved, and I am good enough as I am,” or something more specific to the roles you play in your life like “I am the best mother I can be, and I will not compare myself to others.” Try it for one week. If that goes well, make it a habit for the next month. I am confident it will have positive effects for you, as it has for me! ______________________________________________

Sauce ever. If you are uncertain on choosing a main course, the staff is very helpful explaining the menu and asking questions to ensure they advise you the best way possible.

If you want to play it safe and enjoy noodles, choose the Pad Thai with chicken. It is a favorite! A good rice dish is The CaKristin took notes on the shew Nuts with Shrimp. It’s a nice mixture of spices and Cashew Nuts with Shrimp sauce, with very tender shrimp, perfect for anyone wanting to try something a little different.

If you feel like stepping outside of your comfort zone, try the Green Curry with chicken. This dish has so much flavor, it’s hard to put your spoon down. Choose wisely on your heat level with these dishes. Mild is best if you can’t handle heat, but if you are brave like Jack Lemmon in Grumpy Old Men, try Hot, Extra Hot, or if you’re crazy, Thai Hot. The dishes are beautifully presented with heart shaped rice and can be enjoyed for any occasion. The service was wonderful and very attentive. We highly recommend Thai District!

A Note From Bee My husband, Jim’s father wanted to find the Jones family cemetery many years before he died. He knew that his grandparents John N. Jones and Leann Sanders Jones were buried there. He thought they could have been buried around Zionsville, Royalton, or Whitestown.

My husband was at one time a supervisor of telephone/ repairmen. One of his men and his family had always lived on the northwest side of Marion County. One day Jim was talking to Jimmey about looking for the Jones cemetery.

Jimmey knew exactly where it was. It is on 650 E in Whitestown. Unfortunately we did not find it’s location til one year after Jim’s Dad died. When we visited the cemetery we did find Jim’s great grandparents graves but had no idea what Jim’s relationship was to the rest of the people buried there. We had gone on a weekend.

I had an in-home daycare for many years. When one of the mothers came in on Monday she said, What did you do this weekend? I said we went to Whitestown (This was 40 years ago) but you probably don’t know where that is) and visited the Jones cemetery. She said, “I know where both those are.” I couldn’t believe it. She said, “My husband’s uncle lives next door to the cemetery.” I got to thinking about that and asked her if she could have the uncle copy his abstract for us. That abstract showed the most important members of the family buried in the cemetery. What a lucky break for us. It helped us so much with our Jones family research. Terry Winter and several generations before him have maintained the cemetery. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy Archy asked for a meeting after the last session of the Squirrel Salon took up human politics as a topic.

“We don’t get it,” he said.

Fighting the urge to say, “Me, too,” I asked him to explain.

“Sparky thought we were talking about “poly-ticks” combining the Greek prefix for ‘many’ with a type of parasite.”

“Sounds right to me,” I thought before I remembered that Archy could read my mind. I tried to steer the talk in a different direction.

“How does the squirrel community govern itself?” he asked.

“We behave in a civilized manner,” he said curtly.

I was beginning to suspect he had already formed an opinion on human politics.

“Political parties are groups of people seeking to run the government according to their beliefs by electing those who are like-minded,” I explained.

The squirrel asked how many political parties did it take to handle human government.

“Right now, there are two - a consortium of conservatives and a league of liberals,” I explained.

“Only two?” Archy said with undisguised skepticism.

“I would think humankind was more diverse.”

I explained there were other minor parties like the Libertarian and the Green Party, and those who chose to be independent and not affiliated with a party.

“How do the independents fare in elections?” Archy asked.

“Not so well,” I admitted. “The major parties seem to raise more money and wield more power.”

“What does money have to do with it?” he asked.

“The parties try to convince people to vote for their candidates through advertising during the election campaign season,” I said.

The squirrel thought for a moment then said, “Is campaign season anything like hunting season?”

“In the way the parties try to capture votes, I guess there is a similarity,” I said.

“Then my advice is to stay inside until it’s over,” Archy said. ______________________________________________

House Plants: More Than Just a Pretty Face

The Rubber Plant’s large leaves help clean the air. Be sure to keep them dusted! ____________________________________________________

My house plant does what?

You may not realize many of the house plants that grace your house are more than a pretty face. The most important thing is they clean the air of toxins.

Peace lilies have beautiful white flowers. This houseplant is a pro at removing air pollutants by absorbing ammonia, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene and making the indoor air cleaner.

Golden pothos removes trichloromethyl from the air (found in glue, paint, and detergent.) You can The delicate looking Peace grow Pothos even if you Lily helps clean pollutants from indoor spaces. don’t have a green thumb Rubber plants tend to grow up large, the huge leaves absorb all the bad things from the air. Don’t forget to wipe the dust from the leaves.

Bromeliads absorb up to 90% of poisonous chemicals like benzene. Put in a Bright space English Ivy takes out 90% of airborne mold that triggers allergies, helps people with Asthma breathe better at night The Boston fern is a great natural humidifier. It helps with air purifying by combating formaldehyde, xylene and other unwanted toxins. Ferns prefer indirect sunlight, check the soil daily to make sure it`s moist.

Philodendrons filter out toxic chemicals like xylene and formaldehyde. Plants like low-light areas.

Critical Race History in Danville

Men like Henry Bennett were employed by the Union Army to build fortifications around Washington, D.C. ____________________________________________________

In this series, we are taking a look at the forgotten lives of Black residents of Danville in the post-Civil War era through the stories of some of the families whose names never got in the history books, but should have.

Henry Bennett Henry Clay Bennett was born at Manassas Junction, Virginia on June 9, 1844. He died in Danville on January 19, 1904. Our history books contain many biographies of those who came to this county with little but the clothes on their backs, whose hard work and earnest efforts brought them a measure of success. Henry Bennett’s story can’t be found in these books, although he overcame obstacles that few of those in the books could imagine.

At birth, Henry Bennett was property. He could be bought, sold, or traded like livestock. From childhood, he was forced to work. For young Henry, learning to read was not merely discouraged, it was forbidden by law. He once heard his master had paid off some white men who had been working for him. He asked his mother, “When do we get to be paid off?” His mother told him it was dangerous to ask such a question and he received his first lessons in the sin of slavery.

One night in 1862, Bennett, along with John Lee and George Johnson, escaped and headed toward Union lines.

For three years they worked for the Union Army’s Engineer Corps, building fortifications around Washington, D.C. to defend the capitol city. At night, Bennett attended a Freedman’s school where he learned that which had once been forbidden. The first sentence he read was, “I am the Bread of Life.” Years later he would recall that moment and those words time and again to his friends.

The 1870 Census shows Henry Bennett, age 23, living with the family of Charles Lunt, employed as a farm laborer. In 1872, he was married to Kate Bibee. Even as a free man, there were few professions open to African Americans. Barbering was considered an acceptable occupation, and gave year-round employment, so Henry Bennett became a barber.

In 1894, Henry Bennett wrote a letter to the editor of The Republican, complaining about President Grover Cleveland’s neglect of the condition of the African American citizens in the South:

“ ...the black man has done more and suffered more for this government than any man that has ever lived in it, but we can say to Mr. Cleveland that we are still here.

We picked cotton for nearly 300 years and then Abraham said: ‘You have done enough. Come up higher.’ It was then that we exchanged the old tow-linen garment for the Lincoln blue and shouldered the musket instead of the hoe and stepped forward into that great and terrible struggle wherein men’s very souls were tried and none but the pure in heart could stay. To his credit, he proved himself to be a man and second to no race as a soldier...”

Henry and Kate were important members of the African American community that once flourished in Danville.

They were among the founders of the African Methodist Episcopal Church there established in 1876. They helped to raise the funds to purchase a lot on South Jefferson Street and build a small church in 1884. Kate Bennett was a member of the Crescent Literary Society, a church-sponsored women’s club. Henry Bennett joined the Indianapolis chapter of the African American Masonic Lodge.

Henry Bennett died January 19, 1904. He was Danville’s oldest barber, having been in the business for 27 years. The Republican noted, “He justly enjoyed the esteem of all citizens and will long be remembered for his steadfast efforts to improve his own and his race’s condition.”

Kate Bennett Kate Bennett was born in 1854 in Winchester, Kentucky and came to Indiana when she was 12 years old.

In the September 12, 1883, the newspaper contained a short article, headlined, “A Happy Meeting” “The father and uncle of Mrs. Kate Bennett, colored, of this place, are visiting herself and husband, Henry Bennett, at their home. Mrs. Bennett has not seen her father since she was too small to remember his features distinctly, and the last time she saw him was on the auction block in Kentucky, being sold as a slave. Mr. Bibee, for this is his name, was sold three times during his slave life, the first time for $1,200, the second time for $800 and the last time for $300. Mrs. Bennett had grown from a small child since her father had seen her, and he could not recognize her at first.”

After the death of Henry Bennett, Kate took in laundry at her home on North Cross street to help support her sons pursue their education. In 1915, at age 61, she suffered a stroke and died on May 15. The funeral was from her home, with four former pastors of the A.M.E. Church, plus the pastor of the Danville Methodist Church, in charge of the services. Her obituary in The Republican reported: “The esteem in which Mrs. Bennett was held in this community was attested by the generous turnout of former friends and neighbors to witness the last rites. Her one great ambition was to see her sons well educated and given a better chance in the world than their parents had ever had. And, to do this, she worked almost day and night, finally falling in her tracks, brain, blood and muscle giving way, while the spirit - the real Mrs. Bennett - passed on to complete its work on another plane.”

Next week, we will look at the William, Walter, and Paul, the sons of Henry and Kate Bennett.

You say that freedom of utterance is not for time of stress, and I reply with the sad truth that only in time of stress is freedom of utterance in danger? Only when free utterance is suppressed is it needed, and when it is needed it is most vital to justice.

Start Talking: Political Term Limits Presented by 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 opinons on whether there should be term limits for politicians.

Are Limitless Trips Better Suited for the Salad Bar? I was recently reading a piece from the Gilder Lehrman Collection, of The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, that discussed the views that President George Washington held on the topic of a proposed third term and political parties. This piece covered a letter that Washington wrote to then Governor of Connecticut, DAVID WINTERS Jonathan Trumbull, Jr. on ________________________ July 21, 1799, in response to Trumbull’s urging of Washington to seek a third term as president. Washington had apparently made a promise “not to seek unfair power as a government official” with a desire to avoid being “charged with concealed ambition.”

This brings to mind a current discussion that is heavy on the minds of many in this, at times, volatile political climate: Term Limits.

Term limits did not exist for the American Presidency until February 27, 1951, when the Twenty-Second Amendment was ratified by the states less than four years after being passed by Congress on March 21, 1947. This was in response to the fact that Franklin Delano Roosevelt had, just three years prior to its passage, won a fourth term as President of the United States. Had Mr. Roosevelt survived the entirety of his fourth term, he would have served as the Chief Executive for 16 years. Holding “power” as the head of government for this long was unheard of in the first 150-plus years of our existence but was not anything new to most of the world. The United States was the only Representative Republic which was ruled by leaders chosen by the people. Congress was right to take up this topic and make changes.

Over the past several decades, the topic of term limits has been a discussion every two years as members of the House of Representatives, both nationally and locally, gear up for yet another campaign. This topic in 2022 seems to have a different fervor to it and I have heard sentiment from all political persuasions that this is something that needs some serious, and expedient, attention.

As of today, Robert C. Byrd (D-WV) holds the record for the longest serving US Senator, serving from January 3, 1959, until his death on June 28, 2010. In the other chamber of Congress, the late John D. Dingell, Jr. (D-MI) holds the record of longest serving House Member with more than 59 years of service. The top two longest serving current members of the US Senate are Patrick Leahy (D-VT) with 46 years of service and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) with 40 years. On the House side, the current longest serving member is Don Young (R-AK) at 48 years. There are plenty of office holders here in Indiana who have served for decades, such as our own Jeff Thompson, who assumed office in 1998, serving the 28th district for 24 years and is seeking yet another nomination this May. I have always taken the position that I do not favor term limits. I believed for many years that we did not need them; that is why we have elections, I reasoned. However, I might very well be evolving on this topic as it is becoming clearer with each election cycle that we need to move away from “establishment” candidates and career politicians and start looking to individuals who will serve the people. I believe this should be something we consider changing both at the national level and state level.

Decades in service is often more about service to self than it is service to others. We do not need, as President Washington feared, individuals who are operating with “concealed ambition.” ______________________________________________

Right to left: David Winters, The Republcan’s Publisher, Jerry Vornholt, and Philip Gulley enoy a get-together at Bruburger in Brownsburg.

Philip Gulley on Term Limits Today’s answer is “term limits,” the question being, “What can be done to make sure Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer spend the rest of their lives tinkering in their garages like old men should?” If Nancy Pelosi wanted to join them, I wouldn’t object, since she recently announced her decision to run for a 19th term, there apparently being no one else in CaliforPHILIP GULLEY nia capable of leadership. ________________________ To be fair, John Dingell of Michigan served 30 terms, filling the seat his father had occupied for 11 terms, and now filled by his wife Deborah since 2015. All together the Dingell family has held the same Congressional seat for 90 consecutive years, since 1932, when Herbert Hoover was president and Ronald Reagan was a Democrat.

Congress’s stubborn rejection of term limits for itself while imposing them on the executive branch is another example of the legislative branch exempting itself from the standards it imposes on others. Legislators argue voters can impose term limits by voting them out of office, a laughable proposition given gerrymandering, political machinations, and the economic favors those in office dispense to those who fund their legislative careers. They want us to believe that keeping them in office contributes to institutional memory, though institutional memory has never been maintained by the politicians, but by their aides and advisors, most of whom came with the office furniture, having far more legislative experience than the politicians they assist.

To be sure, if we had fair and free elections in America, voters could be relied upon to limit the terms of foolish and power-crazed legislators. But we have long passed the era when voters pick officeholders. Today, through gerrymandering and voting restrictions, officeholders pick their voters, insuring their return to the public trough. These same officeholders refuse to allow bi-partisan, non-political commissions to create congressional districts that will level the playing field. For they know, deep in their hearts, that if they had to earn our votes through intelligent and responsible leadership, they would be out of jobs. Instead, we are given a coterie of political hacks and robotic sycophants incapable of original thought, courage, independence, or integrity.

When George Washington declined to run a third time, he set an example of restraint all officeholders would do well to follow—two terms of service then stepping aside so others might tend the fields of democracy. Attach no benefits to the jobs, no pension, no life-long health care, unless and until those blessings are extended to all Americans and not just the ruling elite. But let’s not stop there.

Let’s fund every election from the public purse and make it a crime for any officeholder to receive the thinnest dime from any individual, family trust, or corporation during their term of service. Let them be paid a living wage, commiserate with their responsibilities and efforts, but let no one finance their efforts with expectation of reward.

Favoring the progressive approach to governance, I wish I could blame conservatives for these abuses, and though it’s true the conservatives are hard at work limiting voting to their own kind, it is also true that both parties refuse to support any system that might restrict their privilege and power. Foxes in the henhouse seldom promote restraint.

With a tip of the hat to William Buckley, I suspect we’d be better governed by 535 librarians selected at random than the current Congress, especially if one of them were my wife, who after keeping me on the straight and narrow for 38 years deserves a little rest. ______________________________________________ By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who think’s he’s wrong. ­Charles Wadsworth

Hendricks County Senior Services Hosts Woodcarving Club

The Woodcarvers Club meets at the Hendricks County Senior Center twice per week. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Twice per week, a group of men and women gather at the Senior Center in Danville to practice woodcarving skills, learn new techniques and most off all, enjoy time together.

The program began nearly 20 years ago with four men, including Arlie Riggs.

“Dave Blackwell was the original person that started it,” Riggs said. “He had a thing over at the county fair and invited people to come and try it. I didn’t know anything about carving at the time. I had gotten interested in Florida and things kind of bloomed and took off. Today, we have a group of 25-30 people and the carving is great, but I think it’s the group of people we have here that make it a lot of fun.”

Men, women and young people are welcome to come in and check it out. Just last week, the woodcarvers welcomed a seventh grader from Parke County who was interested in woodcarving.

For the first three to four weeks, guests can join in and Riggs will furnish all supplies needed to try your hand at carving. If you are interested in joining on a regular basis, the group can advise on the best places to purchase a carving set.

“We start everybody out on carving a cowboy boot. I’ll give them a basic template and they learn how to do it.

As we went along people started wanting other things, so we’ve done shoes, dogs, bears, a person…everyone starts out the same, but some just grab ahold of it and fly by me and I’m tickled to death,” Riggs said. “Others are thrilled to just whittle or make simple projects. For me, I really enjoy teaching others and inviting others to the group.”

John Housefield picked up the skill quickly and continues to advance his designs and creativity.

“I like to work with my hands and you can see how you’ve improved over time,” Housefield said. “Some people say they can’t do it and when they give it a try, you wouldn’t believe how far a lot of them have come.”

Housefield is a woodcarver that needs no template. He can take a plain piece of bark and dreams up a design.

He’s recently been working with cottonwood, material he brought back from a trip to North Dakota.

Some say the hobby makes them nervous, but for Riggs and Housefield, it works the opposite way.

“I think it’s really relaxing. I choose different things to try because they look challenging and if I screw it up, I’ll just cut out another one,” Riggs said. “It’s just a piece of wood. You can start over again.”

Housefield agrees.

“People try to get it done faster, but if you slow down, I think it works a lot better. It’s something fun to do while you’re sitting around in the evening – really relaxing.

When you slow down, you’re less apt to cut yourself and you’re able to focus and make less mistakes. I like to play around with different facial features and expressions,” he said.

The Republican Read Local

Woodcarving groups across the state seem to struggle for success, making the Hendricks County group a rarity within the state. People have joined the program from Franklin, Crawfordsville, Park County and Indianapolis.

“I think our group has grown closer. We don’t have a president of the club or anything like that. Come and do what you want to do and let’s all have fun,” Riggs said.

Because of that freedom, the unique projects and ideas seem to flourish.

Lee Remback just completed a nativity scene he had been gifting his family for years.

“I’ve got around 16 in my family and I make them a piece of the nativity each year for Christmas. I’m done now, everyone has an entire set, but for a long time, I’d spend all year making 16 ‘Mary’s’ or 16 ‘shepherds’. The set is about 15 pieces so I’ve made well over 200 for this project,” Remback said.

In addition, the entire group works together to make ornaments for the Christmas season. A local daycare comes over each year to sing Christmas carols and the woodworkers give each child a Christmas ornament.

Many of the woodworkers carve for others, but they receive much more from becoming a member of the group.

“Everyone comes because they want to come and the group is really super. We all get along, we often go out to lunch afterward and we truly enjoy each other’s company,” Riggs said.

The woodworking group meets every Monday at 4 p.m. and every Friday at 10 a.m. For more information, visit https://www.hcseniors.org or call Becky Maher, Activities Coordinator for the senior Center at 317-745-4303.

The Hendricks County Senior Center is located at 1201 Sycamore Lane, Danville.

Cascade Middle School Students Discover “Secrets on the Shelf”

The Cascade middle school students also take a walking tour on the streets of Danville, learning more about the county seat.

Here, the students are show a granite marker on the spot where surveyors started to lay out the town of Danville. ____________________________________________________

The 2022 PACE class visits the Hendricks County Historical Museum to select an artifact for their project. ______________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson For the fifth year, Cascade Middle School History teachers Ben Nielson and Hillary Cheaney have brought students to the Hendricks County Historical Museum for a field trip – but they’re not stopping there.

Armed with an idea taken from the television show, Mysteries at the Museum, Nielson has the class investigate an artifact they find in the museum and not only write a report but put together their own documentary to be shown at the Danville Royal Theater at 6 p.m. March 15.

“A lot of the students haven’t been to the museum and when they see these physical items from the

past, it’s a big moment for them,” Nielson said. “History is so abstract when you just hear about it but when they get to see and work with the items… this is why I love this project.”

Nielson works hard to bring history to life for his students. He’s collected artifacts that are kept in the classroom, invited guests like screenwriter Chris Crowe (of Last of the Mohicans) to discuss the Trail of Tears and other well known speakers.

For this particular project the students take a trip to the Historical Museum.

While half of them are in the museum selecting an item, the other half are taking a walking tour provided by the museum’s volunteer staff.

“They get to see the courthouse and older buildings. I love that they have to think through what used to be there,” Nielson said.

“We have some old maps and the students try to match up which building was where. It’s a cool experience to envision what the town square used to look like.”

Once everyone has made an artifact selection, they go back to the classroom and begin their research; looking for timelines, people or businesses that may have been associated with the item and how it was used.

It’s not always easy.

Nielson said the staff at the Historical Museum were wonderful to work with and his first stop when

Students receive a tour of the museum and learn more about items that play a part in Hendricks County history..

helping a student who gets stuck in their research. The Danville Public Library has been another community resource and if all else fails, students can take a step back and look at the item from a world view.

“We have an item right now that we know is from Klondike Milling Company in Danville but there’s not a ton of information on it,” Nielson said. “When that happens, we use it as a bridge to talk about what else was going on in the world at the time. The students are looking into what they know about the Klondike Mill and then going into the Klondike Gold Rush which inspired the name. We can use this as a springboard to look at how the rest of the world is inspired by a broader topic.”

Not only do the students benefit from the museum as a resource, Helen Corbitt, Treasurer for the Friends of the Hendricks County Historical Museum said they help the museum as well.

“We make a preview list with photos, including new items or items we haven’t displayed in a while to give the students some initial ideas,” Corbitt said. “We will also tell them what we know about the item which

includes who brought it in, when we received it and names associated with it, but sometimes, we really don’t have much.”

It’s not unusual for a student to discover information the museum wants to add to their database for future reference.

“We have a catalog of all of our items. I like to add the students reports to help manage our collection better,” Corbitt said.

The museum volunteer enjoys working with the young teens as well.

“I love the walking tour because the big message to me, is that this is your Hendricks County Museum and this is your courthouse,” Corbitt said. “Then when it comes time for the show, it’s so fun to see the excitement of the kids and hear them sharing their artifact and all the things they discovered.”

The showing is free for guests and is a combination of presentation, short introduction from the historian describing their artifact and then a scene or skit showing how the artifact would have come into play in history.

“We want the students to feel like they are actually contributing to history. It’s

not just a school project because we’re putting it out there for the community as well,” Nielson said.

It’s not uncommon for the audience to get involved. They often come up to Nielson, Cheaney and students to share their stories about the items or places mentioned.

The history class is an honors course titled PACE (Program of Accelerated Education). It includes U.S. History curriculum but English research and writing skills, too. Students have a 90-minute class period as opposed to the typical 45 and allows these larger projects to continue. The course also counts as a high school credit.

“We want to be inspired by big things. If you never attempt them, nothing happens. You might be surprised by the results and the students have always lived up to my hope with this project,” Nielson said.

While the showing is free for the audience, they do accept free will donations to support other projects in the PACE classroom.

They are currently collecting Civil War letters, which the students transcribe and publish on the school website to share with the community and the world. The Historical Museum and Danville Public Library assist in this project as well.

The Hendricks County Historical Museum changes exhibits each winter.

They will open in March for regular hours, Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and scheduled tours throughout the week.

This year, visitors can check out “Music Through the Ages”; an exhibit looking at Hendricks County music and how it affected national and worldwide events.

Sponsors for the Cascade Middle School, Secrets on the Shelf film include the Danville Royal Theater and Danville Dips.

The filming will return to the Danville Royal Theater this year after a year of hiatus due to COVID. This group was one of the first to participate in the PACE class project.

See What’s New at the New Hendricks County Jail

The exterior of the new Hendricks County Jail reflects the historical brick and stone architecture of the County Seat. _______________________________________________________________________________

By Jerry Vornholt The new Hendricks County Jail is taking shape both inside and outside. Passing by on East Main St. (Old US Highway 36) the new jail does not have an imposing cold façade. By design. Sheriff Clark along with the County Council and County Commissioners worked hard with RQAW Architects and Garmong Construction to design a building that reflects some of Danville’s existing historical buildings.

The exterior materials are a combination of brick and concrete stamped to look like brick. This allows the County to create an echo of Danville’s more historic structures including the old, old jail built in 1868, while saving money on materials.

The outside is crawling with “cherry pickers” lifting materials up and down in concert with dozens of workers moving in and out.

While the choreography of the outside “pickers” is impressive, the controlled chaos inside is more so. Like an army of ants, contractors were swarming over every square foot of space. Concrete walls with wires, cables, ductwork, conduit and pipes are running to and from every direction.

Sheriff Brett Clark has been watching every phase of construction. “I love coming over here,” he says more than once as he gives a detailed tour of every room, hallway and stairwell as we walk.

From processing inmates in to processing them out, every function and functionality of the new building is designed to keep both inmates and staff safe.

“The number one goal is safety,” Clark is proud to say at every new feature not available in the current jail.

One of the safety features is the indoor recreation area. Tall ceilings, lots of natural light and the ability to allow outside air into the area during warm days translates into not needing unsightly razor wire fences that you see around most jails. Inmates can get their recreation while being secure inside the building.

The Pauley Jail cell modules have all been installed and stacked into two story areas called pods. There is a mix of the 2 and 4 bunk Pauley modules in each pod.

All the pods are monitored by cameras but each pod can also be individually observed by person because of the wheel and spoke type design of the pods. There is a control room above and in the center (spoke) of the pods in a circle (wheel) around the control room.

The work is moving forward at full steam, and according to the Sheriff, he should have at least a few days in the new Sheriff’s office before the end of his term.

“I may not have any prisoners in here but I should get a few days in the new office before I leave.” Construction is on schedule to be completed by the end of this year.

Regardless of whether Sheriff Clark will have many days as the top cop in the new facility, Hendricks County has a much needed new jail state-of-the-art facility that will take good care of inmates and the staff for generations to come.

The access area behind the cells alows for elecrical and plumbing repairs to be made without entering the cell itself. _______________________________________________________________________________

ANDY PITCHER

By Jerry Vornholt Andy Pitcher is the new head of Danville’s Public Works Department. Andy has been on the job for more than a year now and has some big shoes to fill when it comes to making Danville’s streets clear of snow and ice. Coming from Boseman Montana, Andy is not intimidated by a large

snow fall, as evidenced by the many snow removal contest awards on the wall of his office.

It may just be that Andy’s experience in snow country is what has caused some grumblings around town. A few weeks ago when a small amount of snow and freezing weather came to town, there were quite a few residents complaining that the streets weren’t clear and dry by the next day. When asked about this, Andy was ready.

“In an effort to be fiscally responsible with taxpayer money, unpopular decisions sometimes have to be made. In the past, residents have been spoiled with having their streets cleared with even the smallest of snowfall, but with that comes a heavy price tag.

To help balance safe streets and taxpayer money, Andy is asking residents to take on the smaller weather events with a little caution and preparation on their part. In return, he promises to take good care of the streets when hit with the big events.

To prove his point, let’s look at how the Public Works department handled last week’s snow event. In the days leading up to the event Andy and his team were constantly watching five different weather services to keep up on the storm as it approached.

Working with two crews, each taking 12-hour shifts, Public Works employees, along with some help from

Family Enjoys Birthday Fiesta

Submitted by Historian Bev Stallings The history of how Tri Kappa began, was on a February night 121 years ago. Seven teenagers decided it might be fun to form a “secret” organization. They elected officers, wrote a constitution, and decided their purpose should be charity and kindness. Today, Tri Kappa has 238 chapters and nearly 7,000 active members in Indiana. Giving more than $1.5 million annually to the philanthropic causes of charity, culture, and education throughout the state. The Danville chapter formed on May 31, 1930, as Delta Kappa of Tri Kappa. Danville’s Active Chapter added an Alpha Associate Unit in 1951, and Beta Associate Unit in 1971.

Currently there are 85 members that enjoy being together doing Tri Kappa work, as well as just having fun! Sisters from around the state meet every other year for the State Convention, to share ideas that help all Chapters in the coming years. This state group has worked with Riley Hospital for Children for years, giving donations in areas where needed. We are members of the Hoosier Salon and have our own Art Collection at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute. The Danville Chapter has two main fundraisers. The Spring Flower Sale at Huntington Bank on Mother’s Day weekend, and Fair on The Square, September 10 & 11, 2022. We encourage our community to help support these philanthropic projects. Local areas we support: College Scholarships, Ellis Park, Danville Public Library, and Grants in the Spring and Fall.

Some Tri Kappa’s donate their time working at our local Food Pantry, Shared Blessings.

Grandaughter Pieces Together Memories of Her Grandmothers in Animated Short Film

Page A-13

St. Augustine’s Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

The animated figure of Rosemary Helton created by Cora Hasagawa. Rosemary was a teacher at Danville for many years and organized the tennis tournaments at Ellis Park. The new multi-use courts were named in her honor. ___________________________________________________

A poster for Cora K. Hasagawa’s animated short film about her grandmothers. ____________________________________________________

We all have family stories been passed down that have shaped our lives.

Cora Kiyoko Hasagawa created an animated film to piece together the lives of her grandmothers.

“My whole life I have always wondered who my grandmothers really were,” CORA KIYOKO HASAGAWA she explains. “Through conversations with my parents ... I explore the parallels between the lives and losses of my two grandmothers.”

Cora’s father’s mother, Kiyoko, died when he was five years old, so she has no real memories of her.

Her mother’s mother, Rosemary Helton, died when Cora was two and she has only fleeting memories.

In her film, she tries to piece together a picture of who her grandmothers really were.

Cora’s father, Allen Hasagawa, remembers the family lived in a white house. There were lots of bingo parties, a dachshund named Peggy, sparklers in the backyard on the Fourth of July, and Christmas and birthday parties.

“She was trying to raise the American family,” he told Cora.

Janet Hasagawa, Cora’s mother, remembers her mother, Rosemary, “just loved to win.” She said her attitude was “you just make up your mind and that’s what you do.”

“My family has been cheated by two deaths,” Cora explained in the film.

Kiyoko died from an asthma attack, leaving a grieving

husband and four children. Her son remembered seeing his mother in her casket, but other memories of her were only blurry images.

Rosemary lost her first husband while she was pregnant with Cora’s aunt. Janet said Jack’s death changed Rosemary’s life and her dreams. She and Jack enjoyed aviation and she only lacked her solo flight to earn her pilot’s license. She never took that flight.

“She was afraid she was still in love with a dead man,’ Cora was told and that for several years, Rosemary would often lay on Jack’s grave and cry.

Janet remembered once of the last times she stayed in her mother’s house after Cora was born. The two had gotten up in the middle of the night and Janet told her mother she felt Cora “was everything that is good about me.”

Rosemary answered, “I’ve always felt that way about you.”

“I think of all the things I’ll never be able to ask them and all the things they will never be able to know about me,” Cora says in the film. “Even though they are not directly a part of my life, they helped shape me into the person I have become today. I will always carry a piece of them with me.”

Portraits of Cora’s grandmothers, Kiyoko Hasagawa, left, and Rosemary Helton, right. ___________________________________________________

Cora created the short film using handmade paper cutouts that were stop-animated by hand. The film was part of numerous film festivals and has received several awards: Best of NewFilmmakers LA 2020 Nominee, Animation; The Fifteen Minute Film Festival, Audience Choice Award, 2nd Place; London Indie Short Festival, Best Animated Shorts, Winner; Toronto Independent; Film Festival at Cift, Best Animated Short, Honorable Mention stop animation.

What’s black and white and read all over?

Sarah Reed and Allen Barker serve pancakes.

After a break last year, due to the pandemic, members of St. Augustine Church in Danville are eagerly looking forward to the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, March 1, from 5-7pm. “We really missed this last year,” said church member Mary Clark-Haase, “We held a socially-distanced version on Zoom, but it just wasn’t the same.” The popular event attracts many beyond just church-goers. Many from the larger community find it a chance to run into friends and neighbors they have not seen in a while. And it’s always fun to eat pancakes for dinner.

The supper includes “all-you-can-eat” pancakes, plain, or with extras like blueberries, chocolate chips, and sprinkles, along with sausage, coffee, and milk. The price of the meal is $5, and children under 5 eat free. The event is supported by a generous donation from Himsel Farms Pork Sausage. All proceeds from the supper are given to local charitable organizations such as Sheltering Wings, Family Promise of Hendricks County, and Shared Blessings Food Pantry.

Take-out orders are also available. To place a “to go” order, call the church at 317-745-2741 before noon and leave your name and phone number. You will receive a call back between 4 and 5 PM to confirm your order and pick-up time.

The Shrove Tuesday pancake supper is a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages when it was common to observe a fast during the 40 days of Lent as preparation for Easter. Also called Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras, the last day before Ash Wednesday was a time to clear the pantry of all the butter, eggs, and sugar that would not be eaten during Lent and so it became a tradition on that day to feast on pancakes.

This is the 74th year that St. Augustine church will host the event in Danville.

St. Augustine Episcopal Church is located at 600 N. Washington Street in Danville and is handicapped-accessible.

For more information, call the church at (317) 7452741. ______________________________________________

Danville Boys Basketball Returns to Action

Caden Collins (#O) brings down the house with dunk.

By David Winters The Danville Boys’ basketball team enjoyed an almost two-week hiatus that resulted from poor weather and a reschedule girls’ tournament game. They returned to action on February 9 with a home game against Northview followed two days later with a Senior Night battle against Edgewood.

Northview brought more of a challenge than the Warriors were hoping after a long break and the pace of the

game through three quarters proved that a hard fight would be what brings victory. Danville could claim offensive superiority as they increased their lead by 100% in quarter two and 50% in quarter three, leading by one at the end of the first, two at halftime and three at the end of three; but that might be a stretch. Alright, some poor humor; back to the game.

The Warriors remained consistent in their offense in the fourth quarter, which was aided by tougher defense holding Edgewood to just 12 points. Danville finished strong and won the game by a final score of 65-56.

February 11 was Senior Night where seniors from the basketball team and cheer squad were escorted to midcourt by their parents, and sometimes siblings, where they enjoyed adulation from the crowd for one of the final times in their high school career. These tributes are always nice for the students being celebrated but also gives parents an opportunity to take in the moment as they begin celebrating the 13-year journey through school. Well done parents and students.

The opponent tonight was Edgewood High School who brought with them a sub-500 record and what looked to be a night headed to the win column for Danville. Edgewood represented well but ultimately could not recover from their 37-22 halftime deficit. The Warriors added the exclamation point with a potent 32-point performance in the final quarter, capped off by a “bring down the house” style dunk by Sophomore Caden Collins late in the fourth quarter. The crowd erupted and the Warriors hit cruise control for the final few minutes and won this going away by a final score of 84-62.

Leading Danville in scoring in the game against Northview was Tyler Dostin with 19 points followed by Brady Ruggles with 18 points. In the game against Edgewood, Brayton McMahon led all scores with 21 points followed

by Brady Ruggles with 17.

Next up for Danville is a road trip on February 15 to North Putnam.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER REVISED TOTAL COLIFORM RULE Monitoring and Reporting Requirements Not Met for: Town Of Lizton Water Utility

Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.

We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water standards meet EPA’s health standards. During January 2022 we did not test for Total Coliform and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water at that time.

What should I do? There is nothing you need to do at this time. You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. You may continue to drink the water.

What does this mean? This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately.

What Happened? What is being done?

We anticipate resolving the problem within the next month when the required samples will be colleged and analized.

For more information, please contact the public water system: Contact Name: Mark Bruce Phone Number: (317) 181-5959 This notice is being sent to you by: IN5233036 Town of Lizton Water Untility.
