Hendricks Civic Theater - Facebook

Hendricks Civic Theater’s next production, Radium Girls, by D.W. Gregory, will be a very special showcase for the young actors.

“This show is HCT’s ‘Rising Star’ show,” explained Darby O’Brien, direct of the upcoming play. As a member of the Encore Association, composed of nonprofessional, nonprofit theater groups, HCT’s actors aged 13-20 are eligible for recognition at the group’s fall awards ceremony.

“For the actors performing from all over Hendricks county, Radium Girls will be a great opportunity to reveal their talent in hopes of such recognition. O’Brien describes it as, “the equivalent of the Tony Awards for community theater.”

The play is based on real events in history.

“In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease,” according to O’Brien. Under O’Brien’s direction, with the help of her assistant director and producer, Karla Janning, the young actors will be telling the story of dial painter Grace Fryer in her fight for court justice.

The play will be performed at Longstreet Playhouse, 4998 N CR 100 E, Danville, on March 3-6 and March 1013 (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Sunday at 2:30 p.m.).

After her last show with Hendrick’s Civic Theater in 2019 (Sense and Sensibility), O’Brien is looking forward to returning to one of her favorite places to direct.

Children three and under get free admission, tickets for youth and seniors cost $14, and tickets for everyone else cost $16. They can be purchased as in-person tickets or live-streaming tickets at hendrickscivic.com. ______________________________________________

74th Year for Pancake Supper

Hendricks Power Cooperative, Hendricks County Farm Bureau, and North Salem State Bank will host a Legislative Breakfast on Monday, February 28, North South Hall, located within the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds Conference Center, 1900 E. Main in Danville.

Elected officials Sen. John Crane, Sen. Mike Young, Rep. Greg Steuerwald, Rep. Jeff Thompson, and Rep. Bob Behning have been invited to speak on issues related to the current legislative session. The event is open to the public, with questions from the audience being addressed as time allows.

Medicare Assistance

Sarah Reed and Allen Barker were part of the crew at a previous Pancake Supper at St. Augustine.

St. Augustine Church in Danville will host its 7rth Shrove Tusesday Pancake Supper on March 1, from 5-7 p.m., carrying on a 74-year tradition.

The first pancake event was in 1948. At that time St. Augustine members met in the Chapel of Canterbury College, on the site where the present Danville Town Hall is located. The supper that year took place in the basement of the Danville Christian Church, whose members generously offered their space to the fledgling little mission of Episcopalians.

During the first supper parishioners helped defray the cost of the dinner by bringing fresh eggs and milk from their farms. In later years griddles were offered for use

by PSI Energy (now Duke Energy) and pancake mix was donated by Aunt Jemima.

For more about this year’s Pancake Supper, see the story on page A-11 of this issue.

If you will be turning 65 soon and need help understanding all the confusing information about Medicare benefits and options, volunteer counselors are available to assist you.

SHIP (State Health Insurance Plan) has trained, qualified, and unbiased counselors available at no cost to you. They can answer your questions, help you understand the choices you have, and explain enrollment period deadlines.

They can also assist with other Medicare issues such as financial aid, transitioning from Social Security Disability or HIP to Medicare, and comparing plans during Fall Open Enrollment October 15- December 7 each year.

To make an appointment with a SHIP counselor anytime during the year, please call Hendricks County Senior Services at 317-7454303. __________ The impossible is the least that one can demand.

Maple Syrup

The sugar maple trees produce a sweet treasure throughout the year, but when temperatures start to rise in the spring, that high-sugar content sap starts flowing and is collected to produce 100% natural maple syrup. You can see how it’s done during the 12th Annual Maple Syrup Days at McCloud Nature Park, Saturday, March 5 and Saturday, March 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

To learn about the production of maple syrup in the past and the present, load the family and come to this free event..

Tap a Tree: Visit the tree-tapping station where you’ll learn how sugar maple trees are identified in the winter (with no leaves!), how sap is collected from them, and how the trees respond to being tapped. Then try your hand at tree-tapping under the guidance of park staff. Be sure to bring your camera!

How Maple Syrup WAS made: Warm yourself around a campfire as you learn how maple syrup has been made – and who made it – over the course of history. Visit the nearby Sugar Bush area with our own tapped trees to see if the sap is flowing. Try on a yoke similar to what was used in the past to haul buckets of sap to the campfire. This is another popular photo opportunity.

The Republican

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner takes items from The Republican’s Yester-Year column to develop an interesting, informative and often humorous article.

To the Editor: Keeping secrets was difficult in close-knit 19th century county towns.

Gossip opportunities abounded at mercantiles around Danville’s Square, at the post office, drug store and grocers. Probably at church, but not at the undertakers.

If a man was shiftless, a drunkard or abused his family, likely everyone in town knew.

Beyond that, The Republican’s corps of vigilant correspondents ensured word got out.

Correspondents’ identities were confidential, or at least in Amo in 1883. Many wanted to know after “Cross Bones” reported witches gathered around a cauldron.

Coatesville correspondent “Justice” declared a phrenologist found Cross’ most prominent skull bump, near the “back top,” denoted self-esteem.

I cannot say whether “Cross Bones” was identified, but the paper did publish his picture. Washington Township’s “Incognito” likely remained unknown.

Secret liquor societies cropped up in the 1850s in opposition to temperance efforts. The “Secret Order of Bacchus” aimed to “preserve some vestige of mirth, hilarity and happiness in this world, in spite of the chilling effects of cold water and canting hypocrisy.”

Secrets were cherished: “To whom you betray your secret,” The Advertiser advised in 1848, “you give your liberty.”

As well, “If you would keep your secret from an enemy, tell it not to a friend.”

In 1852, the “most objectionable ‘secret society’ we know of, is one composed of one member, who slanders his neighbor, and screens himself from merited punishment behind a pledge of secrecy.”

Simply describing a Danville High School girl’s behavior in February 1888 – she sneered and hissed at others in the literary society – was more than enough to publicly identify her in that small school.

When next I’m ushered into the Inner Sanctum, I shall ask Dear Editor about the mind reader and spiritualist on staff in 1884, employed to “lift the veil of the future and disclose to our readers the leading events of the times in advance of their arrival as well as expose such secret matters as are of public importance.”

Our 1914 history cited Danville’s secret societies -- Free and Accepted Masons, Royal Arch Masons, Royal and Select Masters, Order of the Eastern Star, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Daughters of Rebekah, Improved Order of Red Men and the Grand Army of the Republic.

Other county towns had secret societies as well.

The Knights of the Golden Circle were anti-Civil War and sympathetic to the South. I get the strong sense The Republican supported the southern Indiana White Cap vigilantes, based on an 1887 editorial.

Young Plainfield women had their own secret society in 1887. The Amphycitionan society “promises to be a success” following a banquet at J.S. Moore’s home. I’ve no idea what they did or promoted, but I do know Amphicyon is an extinct group of large bone-crushing carnivore mammals.

The paper appeared to agree with the New York Sun in 1889 that divorce proceedings and executions should be public.

Secret or spirit knockings, or spirit rapping, popular among cruciferous heads, drew Advertiser attention in mid-1850. The paper described sisters in New York who submitted to examination to determine whether they were frauds. The investigating team reported nothing conclusive.

Want proof? A Columbus, Ohio, woman in 1853 asked how many children she had.

The spirits replied, “Four.” Her husband asked and learned he had two.

Daguerrean artist Lyman Baker arrived in Danville early in 1852, prepared to employ his advanced secrets in a second-floor room at the Court House to portray better than others the locals’ likenesses.

The scarpologist studied people’s boots and shoes. He could deduce “all your secret springs of action, your motives, your conduct, your life,” 1894 readers learned.

An evenly worn heel and sole revealed a man was energetic, “full of action and resource.” If it was a woman, she was “faithful, affectionate and possessed of the domestic virtue.”

Most wore the sole on the outside, denoting both sexes were “enthusiast and very likely to become an adventurer.”

Inside wear indicated a man was “a feeble, irresolute and vacillating creature,” while a woman was “attractive, gentle and modest.”

Then there was the “chiromancist” – the palm reader – revealing other secrets, and the secret art of Peruvian monarch eyeball preservation. A lady from that country wore 30 eyeballs, valued at $30,000, as ornaments at a Paris ball.

Paul Miner Lizton ______________________________________________________________________

Publisher’s Point of View I’ve been thinking lately about the people I meet Have you ever done that? Thought about the people you meet. Sure, there are the “Guess who I met today?” people but what about those you “met” but didn’t speak to?

The cashier at the Kroger or the clerk at the Speedway.

It’s exciting to meet the success story. It’s interesting to meet the tragic story. But owning a newspaper is teaching me that you all have a story. We all have a story. So, now when I see the cashier or the clerk, I try to be more aware that their life is as full and rich as mine or yours.

Not sure what I am trying to say here, but maybe it’s this. When you’re standing at the checkout and your brain is engaged elsewhere, stop and ponder the fact the person checking you out has a full life. Maybe it’s a good life, maybe its not so good a life. Probably a little of both. Did their morning start great or crappy? Maybe today is their birthday or their mom’s birthday or the second anniversary of their first date.

What this has taught me, and what many of you already know, is that when you stop to consider the life of the stranger next to you, the hardships and joys in their everyday life, it brings you a little closer to humanity. There are some of you that may not want to feel a little closer to the mess that humanity is, but remember, you, too, are a part of that mess. We really are in this together. I am not saying you need to engage that cashier, just consider they have a thousand things on their mind too as they bag your stuff.

Keep Your Heart Healthy Year-Round By: Marina Keers, Executive Director Hendricks County Senior Services Valentine’s Day is in the rearview mirror, but we haven’t stopped thinking about our hearts. Each year, February is designated as Heart Health Month.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for Americans.

Hendricks County Senior Services has postponed its annual heart health public education event, but we hope you will consider some of these ways to reduce your risk of heart disease or improve your heart health.

Reducing stress and spending time with others is great for your heart and mind. There are several free group exercise classes offered at the Senior Center, including Chair Yoga and Cardio Strength and Flexibility. These classes are facilitated by an experienced instructor and are great for beginners and experienced adults.

Nearly everyone could make improvements to their diet. When considering changes, start small and consider incremental changes that will add up to changes in your daily habits. Reducing sodium, increasing consumption of vegetables, and choosing lean proteins are all recommended by the American Heart Association. Check out their website for great tips on healthy eating and recipes.

DEB COOK ______________________________________

By Melissa Gibson After an 18-month position as the Hendricks County Economic Development Director, Debbie Cook was named co-interim Brownsburg’s Town Manager last July and juggled both positions for more than six months.

With a unique vantage point, working alongside the Town Council and other administration, while also landing large economic opportunities such as the incoming Orano Med facility, Acorn Distributors and many more, Cook was named Brownsburg Town Manager at the beginning of February.

“I think there’s been a lot of turnover in Brownsburg and everyone is ready for some stability,” Cook said. “We need to take a breath and take a look at all departments, making sure we’re all moving in the same direction and we have clear support from the Council.”

Cook has been in the public sector from the age of 19. She earned her Master’s in public management with a focus on public policy. She served the city of Bloomington as well as Kokomo’s Department of Development and went on to the CEO position for Kokomo’s Housing Authority.

“My love is economic development,” Cook said. “I believe you can help your community and be an agent of change. It’s a calling, really. I know some really good people who have made it their life’s work.”

Cook and her husband were leaving Kokomo and looking for a change when she

came upon Brownsburg, a town she calls full of “potential”.

“We bought a house here, this is our community and I have embraced it and want to see it grow,” Cook said. “There’s so many amenities in Brownsburg; great schools, great public safety, great parks and a proximity to major markets – it’s easy to promote and sell.”

Whether or not it should come as a surprise, the Town Manager position in Hendricks County has historically gone to males. Cook enters the position as the first female in this position in recent years, if ever.

“It’s satisfying to receive the offer and I love that my daughter and granddaughters can see that these opportunities are there,” Cook said. “I think from a female perspective, we often are accustomed to multi-tasking and looking at things through a different lens. When I went back to school for my Masters, I was a full-time, working adult with children and I just did it. Sometimes I look back and wonder how, but you learn to juggle those things.”

Cook will continue working on large economic development projects but is hoping to bring in an economic development manager, financial analyst and someone devoted to capital projects as well as small business development.

“Small businesses are the foundation of a community and we want to help them stay healthy and continue to grow as well,” Cook said. “We have the main street development. It’s beautiful and a catalyst for new plans. We want to continue to look at Main Street, the downtown area and creating opportunity for growth.”

Cook has hit the ground running with knowledge of the inner workings of the Town and bringing experience to the position.

“I’m excited and humbled that I was asked to take this position. It’s been interesting and I’ve never shied away from a challenge. I think we’re looking at stability and long-term planning.”

Comings & Goings & History in Danville

Reading

By Janet Beam Thomas Jefferson once said, “I cannot live without books.” I feel the same way. My Dad was a voracious reader so we always had books around us. He made sure we had a set of encyclopedias (back in the day when you needed them for homework). Sometimes if he ran out of something to read, he would read either the dictionary or the encyclopedia. He was also quite the Bible scholar.

Speaking of which, the Bible is still the most read book in the world.

Needless to say, my brother and I are both avid readers.

One of the first places I went when we moved to Danville was to the library to sign up for a library card. I always have a stack of books in the house to read. We have three bookcases full of books though I never read a book the second time. There are just too many books waiting to be discovered. Used to be, I thought if I started a book, I had to finish it; not anymore. Life is too short. If it doesn’t grab me in the first chapter or so, it is on to the next one.

One of the highlights of our week is Thursday when The Republican is delivered. My husband latches on to it first and then it is my turn. We each read it cover to cover every week; all the columns and even all the ads. You never know when you will discover something you might need. Like the ad a couple of weeks ago from What’s Cooking Tonight? I had no idea there was such a place in town until I saw it in The Republican. I ordered our Valentine’s dinners and they were delicious!

Growing up in Jamestown, we had The Jamestown Press, which was also published on Thursday. Every Thursday folks would head to the Post Office around 4:00 p.m. and wait for Joanne Hiller to walk across the street from the Press building with the papers. The lobby of our small post office was full of people just waiting for the paper. One of the most read columns was the “Jamestown Personals.” Everybody who was anybody always sent their latest doings to the Headys. Helen was responsible for getting the “who did what and who went where” in the paper. The paper closed in 1993 and is still very much missed and talked about. The Press had been published for 120 years and was owned by the Hiller family for 76 of those years.

But, back to The Republican. It is truly a treasure in Danville. Once something like that is gone, it is gone forever. There is no coming back. As a community we need the paper and from what I have heard, it is doing quite well, thank you! Subscribe to it and stay up on all the latest. It connects us all!

Just an observation. ______________________________________________

Betty Jean Weesner at age 21, when she took on her first editing assignment for a special centennial edition of The Republican.

[Editor’s Note: We came across a two-page story written by the late Betty Jean Weesner in 1997, at the time The Republican was marking its 150th year of service to the community. We suspect it was intended as a speech to be given at one or more occasions during the paper’s sesquicentennial.

Betty Jean not only helped The Republican mark 150 years, she was the editor for the 100-year edition published in 1947. She started her journalistic career in the fourth grade, writing up school news for “Pug” Weesner, editor of The Republican and her father. Ms. Weesner took the reins as editor when her father retired. I found myself taking up those reins in 2016 when she passed away.

We wanted to share this part of our story with our readers. As she notes at the end of the story, it’s because of them that we are able to continue in the footsteps of her and those before her to continue, in the words of editor Julian D. Hogate, “always standing for the best in the life of the community.”]

Comings & Goings of Danville

By Betty Jean Weesner

A Note From Bee I first learned to love lemon meringue pie at a cafeteria in Elwood. This was about 75 years ago . I was 7 years old. My grandmother, Mom had a man friend who would take us on occasion to this cafeteria for lunch. Mr. Hendrickson wanted to be more than a friend. He wanted to be Mom’s boyfriend. Mom separated from my grandfather many years before she ever met Mr. Hendrickson. She was not interested in any romantic relationship. However, this did not stop her from letting Mr. Hendrickson take her to lunch. When I would visit Mom I would go with them.

The first time I went with them I had no idea what the trip was going to be like. I sat in the backseat with Mr. H’s old dog Charlie. Charlie shed tremendously, had bad breath, and wanted to lick my arm. Mr. H. only drove 30 miles an hour. It seemed like it took us forever to get to Elwood.

After that first trip I was very reluctant to ever go again. I dearly loved my grandmother. She would eventually wear me down with the promise of my favorite pie. They also had the best finger-lickin’ fried chicken.

The cafeteria has of course closed many years ago. I can still get wonderful lemon meringue pie at MCL and Grays. ______________________________________________

The Republican

The Republican has chronicled the comings and goings of Danville for 150 years. A decade less than half that time I’ve been a part of that history.

Started in the 4th grade, paid $1 a week for school news.

Danville used to be a self-sufficient community - a bakery, a men’s store, a ladies’ store, a variety store, three or four grocery stores, a book store, two drug stores, two banks, a furniture store and restaurants - all on the square.

Saturday night band concerts on the Court House lawn.

The Republican was likewise self-sufficient. Except for purchasing the paper, we set our own type, made our own plates for pictures, printed our own paper.

Notable comings and goings included: Central Normal College, later Canterbury College, came in 1878 and closed in 1951.

U.S. 36 was only two lanes to Indianapolis and not until 1935 did it become paved to the Illinois state line - there was a parade from Danville to the state line.

There was a bus line to Indianapolis.

There was a venetian blind factory, that later became the Paddle Factory, that is now south of Danville.

When the telephone became toll free to Indianapolis and the plastic charge cards came into being, Danvilleites were drawn like pieces of metal to a magnet, to the big town, bigger stores, larger variety, cheaper prices in Indianapolis. The smaller bushinesses began to close. They couldn’t compete.

Work in factories in Indianapolis during World War II put more money in the pockets of workers who moved from the bigger town to smaller ones, but had more money to buy cars to go back and forth from a “bedroom town” to their work. And it keeps exploding into Hendricks County and reaching Danville rapidly.

We’ve gone from one school building housing all 12 grades to four buildings. We’ve added a hospital which keeps on growing. Along with the good growing also has the bad - new larger jail, four courts.

All these things are a part of our history in the pages of The Republican, plus a couple of extras: the Good Friday Tornado of 1948, which nearly wiped out Coatesville, damaged Danville and threw me out of fracture bed. And then there was the visit of President Ronald Reagan to Danville in 1987.

Now Danville is being revitalized to the tune of $1.8 million, but there is still a tree in the Court House lawn that is pre-Civil War, and we hope it stays there. Trees can’t be revitalized.

During the past couple of years The Republican has been honored by then Lieut. Governor Frank O’Bannon for being in business 150 years, on TV Channel 20’s Across Indiana, and earlier this month, and earlier this month visited by Channel 8’s Dick Wolfsie and Barney who did a live broadcast from our office. Lynn Hopper started the celebration with a very nice feature story and pictures in the Indianapolis Star/News.

None of this could have happened without a lot of help from SUBSCRIBERS, ADVERTISERS and FRIENDS who have kept us in business this long. ______________________________________________

Letters To The Editor Dear Editor: The Hendricks County Republican’s new President, Jerry Vornholt, is to be commended for making the newspaper even better while retaining two of its important features.

One important feature is providing free, extended obituaries. While my wife and I have only lived in Hendricks County since 1976, the Obituaries are always interesting.

One can learn a lot by considering the lives others have lived, and we are pleased that The Republican continues to offer them at no charge.

The newspaper’s second important retained feature is using serif type as the primary style. I was in the publishing business almost nine years as a full-time textbook editor for Indianapolis’ Howard W. Sams and Bobbs-Merrill Educational Publishing companies, and still write regular columns for two national collector-car publications. Research has shown conclusively that serif type styles are the easiest to read in large blocks of ordinary text. (In the event this letter is published, readers might want to know that serif styles are defined as styles in which letters have little “feet” at the ends of straight lines, as does The Republican’s primary text.)

The only other newspaper published in Hendricks County, The Icon, is difficult to read because the type is sans-serif throughout. While sans serif (i.e., no little feet) type styles use less space, they render information presented in those styles less inviting to read. Please continue using serif type as The Republican’s primary style, although sans-serif type is perfectly normal for photo captions and headlines.

The new features and expanded county news coverage are appreciated. Granted, it must be Mr. Vornholt’s constitution that permits his tolerating Philip Gulley’s liberal posturing. However, Mr. Vornholt may not have read as many of Gulley’s hateful Indianapolis Monthly screeds as I have...such as when Mr. Gulley reflected on the Indiana State Legislature’s Democrat caucus, led by obnoxious career political parasite Pat Bauer, fleeing to Illinois to disrupt The Indiana General Assembly years ago. At the time, Mr. Gulley suggested Republicans do the same...only stay there! Now there’s an open mind for you. Anyway, Danville’s Dave Winters is doing a commendable job balancing Gulley.

(Lest anyone think I would never vote for a Democrat, consider Hendricks County’s Democrat Chairman Cindy Hohman’s intense negative reply to my earlier letter denouncing most Democrat policies. I consider Cindy a friend, believe the feeling is mutual, and voted for her against the incumbent Republican in the last Brownsburg Town Council election because I felt Mrs. Hohman had Brownsburg’s better interests at heart and agreed with her positions on important issues facing Brownsburg.)

Anyway, my wife and I are happy to see The Republican’s new features that are [apparently] increasing readership against the generally-declining trajectory of print media. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Sincerely, Bob Palma Brownsburg _____________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy Archy was in a particularly good mood and I asked what was the occasion.

“It’s Squirrels Night Out,” he answered. “We’re going to visit the library tonight!”

I pictured Archy and his friends scampering over the shelves, using the Dewey decimal system to navigate.

“But, how do you get in the building?” I asked.

“Our ancestors built a secret tunnel when the building was put up,” he replied. “All Carnegie libraries have one, you know.”

I didn’t know, but having known Archy for so long, accepted it as fact.

“We have always admired humans for having books,” he went on. “Squirrels can tap into their genetic memory, but there’s some drawbacks to not having a written language.” He paused and quoted Emily Dickenson, “There is no frigate like a book.”

I had to agree. The time I spend on the computer makes me feel drained, but the time I spend reading a book leaves me replenished.

“You’re right,” the squirrel said, having read my thoughts. “Books connect to the world inside you. Books make you magnify thoughts, unveil new ways of looking at things. People would have more common knowledge if they spent less screen time and more page time. That’s what I don’t understand.”

I asked what it was that he didn’t understand.

“Why some humans want to limit what others can read.

To ban books, to burn books,” the squirrel said, with a detectable shudder. “I understand young children need guidance, but eventually they’ll be exposed to ideas different from those in their homes.”

“It’s part of the moral panic that’s currently in fashion,” I said. “Too bad there’s not a vaccine for that” Archy nodded in agreement. “But they wouldn’t take it anyway.” ______________________________________________

Forcing Spring Branches In Winter Home

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Page A-7

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

For February, the Chat ‘N Do Homemakers Club will share some of their family favorites. This club meets on the second Wednesday of each month. Cooking and sewing skills are not required to be a Hendricks County Homemaker, just a spirit of helping others and being together. (Laughing good, too!)

Almost any spring flowering shrub or tree that can be cut from your yard can be forced indoors. Some popular spring flowering branches for forcing are: almond, apple, cherry, dogwood, forsythia, hawthorn, honeysuckle, lilac, pear, pussy willow, quince, redbud, serviceberry, spirea and witch hazel.

APPLE & SWEET POTATO BAKE Submitted by Rosie Lenihan Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

1.When forcing branches to bloom inside the first step is to select a branch.

Mid to late winter, go out to the shrub or tree you decided that you will be taking branches for indoor use. The branches need to be at least 12 inches long with several tight plump buds on the branch. Carefully cut the branch with a sharp, clean pruner.

2.Bring inside: carefully split the base of the branch about 4” up the branch. Add floral preservative to a bucket of warm (100° to 110°F) water. (You can make your own preservative with 1 tablespoon of Listerine or 1 tablespoon of lemon-lime soda per quart of water.) The preservative will promote hydration and retard bacterial growth, keeping the water clear for up to a week Place the whole branch in very warm water. Hold the stems underwater and re-cut them at a 3/4 angle an inch

above the original cut. The stems will quickly absorb water. Submerge the whole branch if you can (bath tub) or at least keep the cut ends in warm water.

3. After the overnight soak, place them into vase where they will be displayed. The water in the container should be warm. Place the flowering branches in a room that is between 50 and 70 degrees. Forcing flowering branches will be faster at higher temperatures but you will have better and longer lasting flowers if they are kept at lower temperatures.

Keep branches in bright, indirect light in order. The time it takes to force branches to bloom indoors can be anywhere from one to eight weeks, depending on the variety of flowering shrub or tree and how close it was to blooming naturally outside. To keep the branches healthy, change the water and add new preservative each week.

This helps the flowers on the branch last longer. Cool temperatures will also help keep your flowering branch looking lovely longer. Arrange the branches for display when the first buds begin to show color.

Do a little late-winter apple tree pruning, apple blossoms are some of the showiest branches to force indoors.

5 sweet potatoes peeled & cut into 1.5 to 2 in. cubes.

Place in pan on stovetop in about 2” of water, bring to boil, reduce heat and cook 20 minutes (will not be completely done -that’s ok). Then cut into ½” slices.

5-6 apples - peel, core and cut into ½” slices In separate pan, cook until thickened ½ sugar 1 T cornstarch 1 cup cold water 1 t. lemon juice Then add: ¼ cup cubed butter ¼ t. cinnamon Pinch of salt Place cooked sweet potatoes and apples in 11” x 8” pan.

Cover with thickened sauce. Bake 25-30 minutes. Good hot or cold. Keeps in refrig for 2-3 days. ______________________________________________

Critical Race History in Danville

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.

Last week we shared the story of Henry and Kate Bennett, part of the post-Civil War Black community in Danville. This week we tell about their three sons.

Will Bennett Henry and Kate Bennett were the parents of six children, three surviving to adulthood. Henry Bennett saw to it that his children had the opportunity for the education he was denied at their age.

In 1896, his eldest son, William, became the second African American student to graduate from Danville High School. It was the custom for each graduating student to give a recitation at the commencement ceremonies. The Republican noted Will Bennett “spoke with energy and received an ovation in applause when he finished” and that he received 15 books as graduation gifts. He entered Indiana University in 1896 to study law.

Among the books stored in the basement of the Court House is Civil Order Book No. 4. On Tuesday, May 4, 1897 it was noted: “Comes now Ethan Miles, an attorney at this Bar, and on his motion the court orders that William Bennett be admitted to practice Law at this Bar, and he is now duly sworn, in open court, to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Indiana and to faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of an attorney and counselor at law, so help him God.” It was more than six months before Will Bennett had his first case in court, representing William Phillips, another Black resident of Danville, who pleaded guilty to petit larceny and received a suspended sentence By 1920, Will had moved to Rockville where he ran a barber shop. The 1930 census showed him in Connersville, following the same trade.

Walter Bennett Another of Henry and Kate Bennett’s sons was Walter Stanley, born in 1878. In 1898, he began the study of medicine at Indiana Medical College in Indianapolis. In 1915, The Republican reported that Dr. Walter Bennett of Louisville came to visit his mother in Danville. By 1942, Walter was living in Louisville, Ky, employed in a barber shop.

Paul Bennett The Bennetts’ youngest son, Paul, was born in 1895, and graduated from Danville High School in 1913. He enlisted in the State Normal at Terre Haute for two years.

During World War I, he joined the 351st Regiment, 92nd Division. He later wrote, “I served my entire enlistment with one of the best and only regiments of the Heavy Field Artillery, Paul Bennett, from the soColored, that the world has phormoe class photo in the known.”

1911 Danville High School During the battle at Mar- yearbook. bace Sector, Lorraine, October 24 - November 11, 1918, Paul successfully carried messages between Field Headquarters and the trenches through shellfire.

Paul Bennett died in Indianapolis in 1920, at age 24.

He was buried in Crown Hill Cemetery. He had been working in a restaurant in Indianapolis since his discharge from the Army.

His obituary in The Republican called Paul “a fine young man whose loyalty to this mother and care for her gave him a high regard of this people.”

The Republican Read Local

What’s in a Name?

Stories behind Hendricks County Place Names Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the Roman statesman, became a legendary figure. Cincinnatus, the town named after him in Clay Township, became a ghost town.

Cincinnatus was one of several towns to pop up along the Terre Haute & Indianapolis railroad when it was being built across the southern part of Hendricks County in the 1850’s. It was in the company of present-day towns of Cartersburg, Clayton, Amo (then called Morrisville), and Coatesville (then West Milton). Railroads often encouraged the establishment of towns along its route, to provide both passengers and freight.

Cincinnatus was platted around 1850, with 57 lots available. It was located in Section 33, between Amo and Coatesville. The area is at County Roads 650 West and 500 South. An 1865 map shows the town laying north of the railroad tracks, with seven houses, a blacksmith shop, and three named east-west streets: Railroad, Poplar and North.

The town prospered enough to have a post office established on December 10, 1852 with Asa Hadley as post-

A map published in 1865 included an illustration of the layout of Cincinnatus about 15 years after it was platted. ____________________________________________________

master. The post office was closed on July 5, 1862 under postmaster Philip Deitrick.

While the town, faded, the name was still used into the late 1880’s when references were found to “a very successful school at Cincinnatus.”

Cincinnatus still showed up on the map in 1878, but by 1904, the property was all owned by T.B. Adams and the name of Cincinnatus faded into history.

SUDOKU SOLUTION It’s easier for a rich man to ride that camel through the eye of a needle directly into the Kingdom of Heaven, than for some of us to give up our cell phone.

AWA Visits Statehouse Leaders On Valentine’s Day

Thursday,February 24, 2022

Community Marketplace

The Awesome Westside Advocates (AWA) group visits with State Rep. Greg Steuerwald in the Indiana House Chambers. ______________________________________________________________________________

Members of AWA deliver a Valentine to State Rep. Jeff Thompson of Lizton. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson The Awesome Westside Advocates (AWA), an organization under Sycamore Services, is a member group of adults with special needs and abilities, interested in advocating for individuals with disabilities, learning more, and helping to educate others.

Each year, the group meets to create Valentines with a special purpose.

On Valentines Day, the AWA stops by the Indiana Statehouse to deliver hand-

made Valentine cards to our state legislators and local leaders. The purpose is to not only learn more about the work our legislators do day to day, but to also remind our leaders of a group that is so often overlooked.

A simple thank you for all of their hard work, goes a long way.

“We get together with members of AWA and Sycamore Services to make Valentines for state representatives, state senators and state officials,” said

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch meets with one AWA member as he delivers a special Valentine’s Day card.

Karen Rose, mentor for AWA. “February 14 is always a busy day finding offices, meeting officials and personally delivering Valentines to those available.”

The group receives a tour of the Statehouse, they’re able to ask questions of the Indiana leadership and learn more about Indiana history. It’s also an opportunity for leaders to ask the AWA questions regarding their current concerns and needs.

“I think the highlight was visiting the House Chambers with State Rep. Renee Pack. We also saw State Rep. Greg Steuerwald, State Rep. Jeff Thompson and State Rep. Rod Bray,” Rose said. “We met with Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch who has always been a big advocate for people with disabilities.

It was a great day.”

The group meets at least once per month to plan events and can be seen at community events like Plainfield’s annual Quaker Day Parade and a statewide picnic through Self-Advocates of Indiana (SAI).

Not only is AWA a social club, allowing adults to get together for community service projects or annual holiday parties, but the self-advocates also learn a lot about recent laws passed, resources they can use in their daily lives and national news that may pertain to their cause.

For instance, SAI is currently offering a webinar series to address the importance of affordable housing and the qualified allocation plan (QAP), a 2022-2024 legislative draft.

For more information about AWA and to sign up for event reminders, email Karen Rose at krose1050@ gmail.com.

Exhibit On African-American Children’s Literature at Avon

The Avon-Washington Township Library will host a traveling Panel Exhibition, “Telling A People’s Story: African American Children’s Illustrated Literature,” March 13 - April 9, 2022.

The exhibit was made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, the Miami University Art Museum of Oxford, Ohio is pleased to circulate the content of the original, groundbreaking 2018 exhibition The exhibition was designed primarily for use in elementary schools, public libraries and other educational institutions. The Traveling Panel Exhibition, featuring 12 panels with 120 reproduced illustrations, supports the introduction of educational resources and programming opportunities surrounding the contextualization of African-American children’s picture books.

For the first time, African-American children’s illustrated literature is the focus of a museum exhibition featuring art produced for book illustrations. The presentation of this genre offers a lens into the cultural, historical, and social makeup of African-American cultural identity, while also shedding light on the long neglected world of African-American authors and illustrators in the pantheon of children’s literature.

Telling A People’s Story addresses: · The presentation of African-American identity and history in a creative, educational and respectful manner. · The raising of greater awareness for the role African-American illustrators and authors play in the development and growth of the field of children’s literature. · The topic of social justice throughout African-American history. · The need for awareness of the challenges African-American children’s book authors and illustrators face in a field lacking sufficient representation of minorities. · The importance of appreciating the culture and history of a people who are deeply rooted in the American story.

This exhibition was three years in the making and included guidance and contributions from librarians, scholars, children’s book authors and illustrators. As Rudine Sims Bishop stated in her seminal 1990 article, Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors, “Literature transforms human experience and reflects it back to us, and in that reflection we can see our own lives and experiences as part of the larger human experience.”

Until the 1960s, and mostly the 1970s, African-American children rarely saw themselves depicted in children’s books from the perspective of African-American authors and illustrators. Telling A People’s Story is a celebration of the power of illustrated children’s books that showcases their story.

Isaiah 117 Welcomes New Program Coordinator; Reaches Out to Hendricks County

The land has been secured, foundation poured and framing is underway for a mid-summer completion date. ____________________________________________________

The Isaiah 117 House in Whitestown will soon look like this rendering. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson The Isaiah 117 House is currently under construction in Whitestown and the nonprofit recently welcomed a new program coordinator, Laura Wiggs.

Though Wiggs has no professional training, her love for children says it all.

“Most people have a background in Department LAURA WIGGS of Children’s Services (DCS) or foster care – I have none,” Wiggs said. “I’m a mother of three and a grandmother of seven and when my youngest was six months old, my husband became very ill. For the next 25 years I became a caretaker and it gave me little time to do anything else. I had been praying about what I should do next and God said it was going to be with children. I went to a kickoff meeting about Isaiah 117, I cried, I got involved and I served on the planning committee for a year.”

When the former coordinator moved on to another position, Wiggs was an obvious choice.

“Kids have always been dear to my heart and this is my opportunity,” Wiggs said.

One of Wiggs’ missions this year is to reach out to Hendricks and Montgomery counties. The Isaiah 117 House will serve all three counties even though it’s located in Boone.

“We’ve put a lot of effort into saturating Boone County with information, but I’m planning to reach out the Hendricks and spread word,” Wiggs said. “We need financial support and lots of prayers.”

The Isaiah 117 House is a program launched by Ronda Paulson in Elizabethton, Tenn. One thing led to another and today, dozens of homes are popping up in the Midwest.

When a child is removed from a home by DCS, they are often taken back to an office where the social worker spends anywhere from a couple of hours to overnight to process paperwork and find a foster placement.

The children are often dirty, have clothes that are too small or with holes; they may have a garbage bag with a few items or nothing at all.

The social worker does their best to make the children comfortable but on what is likely the scariest day of their lives, they don’t have the resources to do what we would want for our own children.

That’s where Isaiah 117 House comes in.

Instead of going back to an office, the children and the social worker can stay at the Isaiah 117 House for however long it takes.

“Once the home is complete, they can call us and we’ll contact a group of volunteers, open up the house and get things ready,” Wiggs said. “We want to welcome those kids and love on them. We can fix them a hot meal, if they want to take a bubble bath they can, they can play with the toys or go rest in a bedroom.”

Each child picks out three new outfits, including pajamas, underwear and socks. They receive a new set of toiletries and a new suitcase. Not only does it give the child confidence to walk into a new situation with their head held high, it also gives the foster family a chance to transition.

While the house is in the construction phase, the nonprofit continues to see blessings from all those involved in the community.

Brownsburg to Install Utility Payment Kiosk

The Town of Brownsburg will be installing a 24/7 utility billing kiosk at Town Hall in an ongoing effort to provide residents with convenience and accessibility.

With a simple click, the kiosk will offer detailed instructions in English or Spanish. The kiosk will be available 24/7. Utility billing customers can look up their account balances and make payments by cash; check; credit card ($2.95 convenience fee charged by third party processor) “We recognize that residents have varying work, school, and family schedules, and not all have easy access to make online payments,” said Town Council President Travis Tschaenn.

“The payment kiosk will save time and resources for our Utility Billing Department while also providing customer service improvements,” said Clerk-Treasurer Ann Hathaway.

The kiosk will be installed on the east side of Brownsburg Town Hall on Adams St. in early March, replacing the drive-through window and the drop box.

For your convenience, during construction, a temporary drop box will be placed on Adams St. In addition to the kiosk, customers can take advantage of other free bill payment options, including mail and automatic payments. Learn more at brownsburg.org/236/ utility-billing-department.

Those that sign up to donate $25 or more per month, will receive a pair of Isaiah socks. ___________________________________________________

Traci Robinson, State Director for Indiana’s Isaiah 117 House said framing for the house has begun, volunteers are bringing food to frontline workers and the contractor at Universal Roofing will donate the entire roof among other materials.

Rob Yeary knows exactly how the children feel on removal day.

Today, he’s the owner of Universal Roofing and Exteriors but as a child, he was eventually removed from his home and adopted.

“The thing is, what the child is going through, isn’t their fault,” Yeary said. “So many of them don’t know who the Lord is and they have that fear and pain of not knowing what’s next.”

In 2017, Universal Roofing and Exteriors launched Good Works in the Community.

Two to three times per year, the company finds a project they can get behind. They donated the roof to Boone County’s So Big Mountain House and have plans to donate a roof to Wheeler Mission this spring among many other charities they’ve worked with over the years.

“I want the employees to get involved. They’ll bring ideas in and we often ask ourselves, ‘What’s in your heart?

What do we need to do to help someone?’,” Yeary said.

For Isaiah 117, Yeary hopes with the love the organization wants to give foster children, they’ll begin to have hope that things will be okay.

“I was dirt poor, but I always knew I had the Lord,” Yeary said. “Our job is to help the children and help others and we can do that through the Lord.”

Wiggs said Isaiah 117 is always looking for volunteers to serve at the house including those with trade expertise like electricians, plumbers and others. They have an Amazon wish list available and are planning fundraisers throughout the next months for their cause.

“We need prayers because we truly believe this is a God mission and we’ll get this done, but only through him,” Wiggs said.

For more information, visit https://isaiah117house. com. Information on Universal Roofing and Exteriors can be found at https://www.universalrfg.com/our-company.

West Bridge Church, Danville, invites the community to learn about Isaiah 117 House on Thursday, February 24, at 7 p.m. The local Isaiah 117 House team will host the event for anyone in the community interested in supporting this new ministry or learning more about the Isaiah 117 House story.

West Bridge Church is at 1521 South County Road 75 West, two miles south of US 36 and Mackey Road in Danville.

An Apology

In my coverage of Andy Pitcher and his interview revolving around his department’s effort in clearing our streets, I must have put words in his mouth as a quote from him that is incorrect. We covered so much and I didn’t record the conversations. I believe my mistake in attributing the word “spoiled” to him was, because, frankly, we have benefitted from some of the best snow clearing of streets in the county for quite a long time and it had never really occurred to me how that level of service can be so costly. And that’s how I felt, that we have been spoiled. Andy was nothing but professional in our interview and I sincerely believe he would not have used that word.

For what it’s worth, I think Andy cares about his job, our taxpayer money and having an efficiently run department, which means, to me, he is good for our town.

It is important to me to give accurate information and accurate quotes as we begin covering more news in the town, so don’t take this email as an excuse, please take it as a sincere apology.

Time for a Fire Territory?

The first municipally-owned fire station in Danville was located on N. Kentucky St. Today, the building serves as headquarters and a separate fire station is located across the street.

A question asked 14 years ago is back again for an answer.

In a work-study prior to the Town Council on Wednesday, February 16, Council members discussed steps that would need to be taken to establish a Fire Territory covering Center Township, Danville, and possibly Marion Township. A series of meetings took place in 2008 that ended with no agreement on the subject.

Currently the Fire Department’s equipment is paid for and owned by Center Township, which also pays part of the firefighters salaries. The Town of Danville furnishes and maintains the station buildings and pays part of the salaries.

A Fire Territory would be an independent taxing unit, with its own governing board, made up of members from the Town and Township(s). The discussion Wednesday night centered on whether to take the first step of hiring a consulting firm to do a fiscal impact study. The study would cost in the range of $23,000 - $25,000, depending on whether Marion Township was included.

“I don’t think this is something we should rush into,” said Council President David Winters, adding, “We can always say no at the end of the study.”

Town Manager Mark Morgan explained that if they go ahead after the impact study, they would be required to hold public meetings within a certain time frame this year, and if it’s decided to proceed, a tax rate would be established that would go into effect in 2024.

“Times have changed,” said Fire Chief Rob Roberts as he stepped up to the podium. “We need to reassess for the community’s needs. We have growth coming and need to be proactive.”

Chief Roberts explained that with two fire stations, if they are called on two runs, they don’t have the staffing to handle a third emergency, then another fire department has to be called in to cover for them. He said there were several times when a Wayne Township truck and ambulance sat at a Danville fire station “in case.”

He also pointed out that when a fire station transports a patient outside of its area, it charges a higher “out of town” rate. “It’s costing Danville residents more when the local staff can’t answer the call.”

Roberts said his goal to eventually have a fire station at New Winchester and a new headquarters on the Miles Farm development.

“We want what’s best for the people we serve,” he said.

Assistant Fire Chief Alan Pike added his concern over response time when outside units need to be called in.

With a Fire Territory, Pike said, there would more control of where the money goes and how the service improves.

The talks will continue. ______________________________________________

Downtown Parking Discussed At Council Meeting

The perennial parking problem kicked off the first part of the Danville Town Council’s regular meeting on Wednesday, February 16.

In the public comment segment at the start of the meeting, was Marlene Riegel, owner of the building where her business, Hair Magic, and three apartments were located. She said she often had customers from out of town who visited local restaurants and shops after leaving her business and she had been paying for their tickets. She wondered if the Council would consider parking passes in some situations.

The first item on the regular agenda was Catherine Haines, Court Administrator for Hendricks County. She asked that parking not be restricted or parking passes be issued on days when there are jury trials or jury selection.

She said there would be jury selection on March 1, with 80 prospective jurors coming.

Town Manager Mark Morgan said that they didn’t issue jury permit signs for the safety of the jurors. If any of them received a ticket, it would be dismissed Council President David Winters said the Council will be having discussions on long-term solutions. Town Manager Morgan offered to meet with Ms. Haines and the code enforcement officer to go over the problem.

Bill Whalen of NFP Insurance presented the renewal prices for the coming year. The biggest jump was for cyber insurance, which nearly tripled, from around $4,000 to $15,000. The total for the renewals was $190,815 compared to $168,112 last year. The payment was approved and will be taken out of EDIT, Wastewater, and Water Dept. accounts.

A public hearing on annexation of the property of Eric and Rachel Miller at 1451 10th St. was held, without comment. A vote on approval will be at the next meeting.

In other business, the Council approved payment of $4,000 to Wessler Engineering for a recent water audit.

Also approved was contract with the same firm for Well Head Protection contract for the next five years for a total of $16,000.

The Council also approved an expenditure request from the Department of Public Works of $25,000 for an asphalt crackseal unit. Superintendent Andy Pitcher explained that about 30% of the roads and streets covered by DPW could have their surface lifespan extended with this treatment. ______________________________________________

St. Augustine Resumes Annual Pancake Supper

Elizabeth Hubbard serving as greeter and griller.

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

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.

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.

You Win One, You Lose One

By David Winters As the saying goes, you win some, you lose some. It is all part of life. It is also part of sports and this past week yielded mixed results.

The Danville Warriors traveled to Roachdale, Indiana to take on the North Putnam Cougars on February 15 in a non-conference match-up. Last Friday, they traveled to Crawfordsville to take on the Athenians in a crucial conference game that likely would produce the eventual conference champions for the 2021-2022 season.

It would be quite the understatement to say that the game against the Cougars was exciting. Danville held its own, for the most part in the first half but still found themselves on the short end of a 35-24 halftime score. The third quarter saw both teams playing neck-and-neck with the Warriors edging North Putnam by just two points.

The fourth quarter belonged to Danville. Let me correct myself. The fourth quarter belonged to Senior, and Kent State commit (football), Tyler Dostin. The young man had one his career best games and almost single-handedly brought the team back from a nine-point deficit going into the fourth quarter. He hit a go-ahead put-back with less than a minute to go on his way to 35 points on 15 of 21 shooting (71%) and while also hauling in 13 rebounds.

The Warriors won this one in a thriller by a final score of 64-63.

It is quite possible that Danville never came down from the high created by that thrilling road win. The trip to Crawfordsville was a very forgettable one. The Warriors were never out of this game by trailed by nine at halftime and eight going into the fourth. Crawfordsville did enough in the fourth to secure a crucial conference win defeating Danville 68-56.

In that contest Brady Ruggles finished with 24 points and Brayton McMahon finished with 14.

Next up for Danville is the home season finale as they host Frankfort. They wrap up the season on the road against Avon on Friday, February 25. ______________________________________________

Danville’s celebrated philosopher-plumber, Bill Eddy, contemplates having another birthday on February 25. In addition, he has taken up a new hobby: forgery. On a trip to visit

his daughter in Atlanta, he took a class and learned how to forge a knife from a railroad spike.

Another local celebrity, Phil Gulley, is trying to figure a metaphysical way not to be another year older as his son, Sam, marks his own birthday on February 24. To add to the aging dilemma, Phil has become a two-time grandpa, thanks to son Sam and his wife, Kelsea, who welcomed a baby boy.

Jerry Vornholt is not in celebrating a birthday but will feel left out if we don’t mention his name with those of his cohorts.

Seeing a bit of color pop up against the gray of winter winding down gives one hope that spring is on its way.

That’s the feeling of people driving past the construction site for the new Murphy Aquatic Park, across from Avon’s AJAA ball fields at CR 625 E. A bright blue and green water slide seems to be twisting its way above the frozen ground. A banner on the construction area fence gives a glimpse of a summer under brightly striped umbrellas and pools of softly aqua pools.

A project of Washington Township Avon Parks, the central water playground will be completely ADA accessible, the first of its kind in the country.

Phase one of the project includes the All-Inclusive Playground, recreation/retention pond, a trail connecting the AJAA property and Murphy Park and multi-use fields.

RL Turner Corporation is on schedule with the construction and the parks department plans to hold their grand opening in late May of 2022.

New Commerce Park Plans for Indiana Celebrates National FFA Week The Indiana FFA Association and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture will Motorsports at Brownsburg celebrate all things blue and gold for National FFA Week from February 19 - 26, 2022.

Garmong Development has launched the development of “The Commerce Park at Brownsburg Raceway.” The 47-acre project, located adjacent to both the Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and the Ronald Reagan Parkway.

“The time is right to build this,” said Deb Cook, Brownsburg Town Manager. “This powerfully advances Brownsburg’s high-profile commitment to growing and supporting the autosports industry and will help attract new companies.

“With racing at the heart of the Brownsburg community, this development demonstrates our commitment to growing the motorsports industry,” said Town Council President Travis Tschaenn. “We recognize that the motor racing community has been a driving force to our growth for many years, and this public-private partnership will establish Brownsburg as the capital for motorsports innovation for many years to come.”

The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), which owns and operates the Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, has committed to moving the raceway’s main entrance to the west side of the park as part of the Garmong project.

“We’re extremely excited about this project and its new ‘front door’ for the raceway,” said Kasey Coler, Vice President of NHRA Track Management and Operations. “This project has been under consideration for years, but with the completion of the Ronald Reagan Parkway and the major investment of Garmong, this project has become reality under Deb Cook’s leadership.”

The new boulevard is expected to be completed by the end of 2022, according to Zuerner.

The Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park currently attracts more than half a million race fans and visitors to the region each year. The raceway is home to more than 140 event-days annually and features a diverse set of races, including the “World’s Biggest Drag Race,” the Dodge Power Brokers U.S. Nationals, and the return of the NASCAR Truck Series TSport 200 in July.

“As we go into the next phase of development for our NHRA facilities, this project for Brownsburg fits well into our future plans,” said Coler. “This is a great public-private partnership opportunity for the town of Brownsburg and Garmong, and we’re very excited about new prospects for the region.” _____________________________________________

Don Hodson WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP Trustee Telephone: 317-272-1835 Date this report was to be published: February 24, 2022 Subscribed and sworn (or affirmed) to before me, the chairman of the Township Board of WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP at its annual meeting, this 15th day of February, 2022.

Shane Sommers WASHINGTON Township Board Chairman This report was received, accepted and approved by the Township Board at its annual meet-ing, this 15th day of February, 2022 Washington Township Board Shane Sommers Amanda Babinec Steven Blacketer 02-24-22-1T hspaxlp ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To: The Taxpayers of Washington Township, Hendricks County Re: 2021 Annual Financial Report Dear Taxpayers: On February 15, 2022, I presented the Annual Financial Report to the Washington Township Board for their approval. A portion of it is published here and you can access the full report on Indiana Gateway by going to https://gateway. ifionline.org. Once there, click on Search for Reports and look for Washington Township, Hendricks County under the Annual Financial Report tab.

On page two of the report, you will find the beginning and ending cash balances for 2021. The beginning cash balance was $13,350,192.05 and the ending cash balance was $16,004,957.40.

The $16,004,957.40 can be broken down as follows: 1. $6.175 million is the cash needed to eliminate a Tax Anticipation Warrant (TAW). Prior to 2017, Washington Township was the only taxing entity in the area that was forced to borrow money to pay bills until we received our property tax disbursements in June. This cost you, the taxpayers, $12,000 - 25,000 in interest and professional fees each year. We worked hard to build up cash reserves and have been able to avoid paying for a TAW since 2017.

2. When I took office in 2011, I inherited two twenty-year bonds. This year, I will be using $4.12 million of this cash balance toward the payoff of these bonds. $420,000 will be for the July principal and interest payment, and then $3.7 million will be used to pay off the bonds.

This will save Washington Township taxpayers five years of bond payments.

3. $1.925 million is dedicated for the Township Health Insurance Fund. In 2017, the Township transitioned to self-insurance, which has significantly lowered our healthcare costs. $426,000 of this is cash reserves to cover unanticipated spikes in healthcare claims or premiums.

4. $1.4 million will be used for capital projects the fire department was unable to complete in 2021 due to supply chain disruptions. These funds will be acquired through an additional appropriation in Spring 2022.

5. $740,000 will be used to cover the budgeted 2022 capital expenditures for the fire and parks departments until the Township receives its first 2022 property tax payment in June.

6. The fire and parks departments had approved contracts and/or invoices for several projects that could not be completed in 2021 due to supply chain or procurement issues. Therefore, the Township Board encumbered $180,000 from the 2021 budget to rollover into 2022.

7. Finally, there is an unplanned surplus of $1.46 million. $750,000 of this comes from the State in the form of an unanticipated excess income tax distribution. The other $714,957 is unspent fire department operations money. When the 2021 budget was created in Summer 2020, the fire department was planning to open and operate Station 144 by fall 2021.· Due to supply chain and procurement issues, Station 144 will not open until March 2022. The new ambulance is not expected to arrive until April 2022. As a result of these delays, the department budgeted for personnel, equipment, and overhead that could not be used or deployed because the station was not open.

Since 2011, I have worked to be fiscally conservative and transparent. The above actions illustrate that this goal has been achieved.

If you have any questions about the Annual Report, the explanations above, or other Township questions, please feel free to contact me at 317-272-1835 or email me at dhodson@avonfd.org.

Sincerely, Don Hodson Township Trustee
