HCP&R Plan

Hendricks County Parks & Recreation (HCP&R) invites the public to participate in an in-person presentation of its Comprehensive Master Plan that outlines its plans of action for 2021 through 2025. The public meeting will be hosted on Monday, March 1 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Hendricks County Government Center in Danville. Meeting rooms 4 and 5 will be utilized to allow for social distancing. Facial coverings are required inside the Government Center and at the meeting.

“We’ll give a very quick and broad overview of the plan and then answer any questions that anyone has,” said Eric Ivie, assistant superintendent with HCP&R. “Public feedback is very important to us, since we serve the public.”

Ivie wrote the document, and he will be spearheading the presentation along with superintendent Ryan Lemley.

The department’s Comprehensive Master Plan is submitted to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) every five years, combining public input with a wide variety of additional information to create a plan of action for upcoming years.

Filing the Comprehensive Master Plan with the DNR also makes Hendricks County Parks & Recreation eligible to apply for grant money through the state agency.

Salute to North Salem Correspondent

In 1959, Marcella Kisner, better known as “Tinie,” joined The Republican’s payroll as the North Salem correspondent.

At first, she dutifully reported the who, what, when and where of the community, but as the years passed, she became a voice of love and caring for not only North Salem, but for everyone who reads this paper.

On February 27, Tinie will turn 91 years young. We can testify that she is not old, because no one of any age can keep up with her. People who have never stepped foot in North Salem know its people through Tinie’s column. Her’s is a talent that will never be duplicated.

“Happy birthday to our longest-serving contributor. Reading your column is one of the highlights of the paper every week for me.” signed the Boss. The rest of the staff agrees.

You can send birthday greetings to Tinie Kisner at P.O. Box 191, North Salem, IN 46165.

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner uses items from The Republican’s YesterYear column to develop an interesting, informative and often humorous article.

To the Editor: An article appearing Feb. 20, 1896, disclosed a “trace of ground” on the corner of the Square had been sold for $2,000, “a fair valuation,” to the First National Bank.

Danville was growing.

Yet all may not have been well across the county for years.

Marshall Todd, abstractor of titles in the county recorder’s office declared in April 1879 that title to more than half of county real estate was “defective.”

Might there be a chance I could reclaim the land wealth wrongly stripped from my ancestors all those years ago? Even if they didn’t live in this state? If the land my family eventually did buy here didn’t legally belong to the sellers, aren’t we due at least a substantial refund? For mental anguish and undue suffering? And high taxes?

I wonder.

Todd said it again two years later.

More than 100 southern New York farms declared “worn out” were being sold by one agent in October 1881. The Republican mused whether if county land was advertised as it should be, “we might secure a liberal share” of those failing farmers.

I wonder if they’d wear out their next farms.

Land a quarter-mile south of Cartersburg “on the pike” was sold at public auction from the Court House north door from noon until 3 p.m. in January 1882. I’d have to be county surveyor David Gaston to adequately pinpoint the tracts totaling 82-1/2 acres, what with all those ranges, rods, sections and quarters cited.

Standing three hours in the cold outside that door, prospective buyers had to be shivering down to their union suits.

Bidders stood for six hours outside a Court House door for a late March 1882 Sheriff’s sale. Some $290 was due, plus interests and costs, and if the money from “rents and profits” was not raised, the acre in town would be sold.

What happened, I cannot say, but now imagine standing six hours in bad weather in a dry town.

That month, the paper reported vaccine farms were “just now, the most profitable real estate.”

I’d never heard about it. Those farms were used to raise animals to meet the demand to produce large amounts of “animal vaccine” to combat smallpox.

The approach was safer than “arm-to-arm” vaccines which could transmit syphilis, I discovered.

Also, that month, it appeared Indiana was to be “cursed” with a lottery, kettledrums were no longer “very popular” in Washington State, a Vermont town daily manufactured 50,000 slate pencils, glass burial cases were now “proper” in Connecticut and poet John Greenleaf Whittier used as a bookmark a tail from a gray squirrel that his cat killed.

That old six-hour sheriff’s sale came around again in November 1884, this time involving $9.53. If I had to guess, someone came up with a ten-spot. The following month, a more respectable $520.06 was on the line.

“Something new for our staid old town” was happening in mid-1882. A real estate man said more property was changing “than he has known for years.”

But townsfolk were consistent “fixtures.” They settled in when they arrived 20-50 years earlier.

They built to suit their tastes, “however much they might conflict with the different styles of architecture, and then . . .” they adorned “these architectural paradoxes.”

Danville became “quaint” and “down home.” Conservatism was inherited and Danville remained unchanged and secluded for decades.

“The star of empire left but a few lingering rays as it wended its way westward.”

Moreover, “the iron horse” to Danville’s north and south “did not waken the old town.”

When war came, “the tramp of the boys” roused Danville. More than half a dozen subsequent conflicts kept the town awake.

Time and real estate movement reflected “the ushering in of an era that will bring wondrous changes in a few years.”

I can’t think what that might be. Wondrous?

Danville’s homes were responsible for its “good morals,” and they made it “a temperate town.”

I don’t get that.

Danville would improve and its homes “made handsomer.” They would be “better ventilated, neater, more convenient” and more comfortable.

The town would grow and be the home of “hundreds of intelligent, healthy, handsome and hospitable residents.”

I worry about the rest.

Hendricks Countu Senior services offers Virtual Chair Yoga with Jan Dorsey, Mondays and Wednesdays at 11 a.m., at the HCSS Facebook page.

Chair Yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions.

While seated on chairs, participants can do versions of twists, hip stretches, forward bends, and mild backbends. In addition to a good stretch, chair yoga participants can also enjoy other health benefits of yoga, including improved muscle tone, better breathing habits, reduction of stress, better sleep, and a sense of well-being.

This class is taught by Jan Dorsey, a Yoga Alliance Certified Instructor. __________ Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness.

DAR Chapter Takes a Look Back in Time

Goode (1851-1896), a museum administrator, used the 13 spoked spinning wheel as his inspiration in his design of the official DAR insignia. The golden wheel of the Insignia represents a spinning wheel; the platinum or white gold distaff represents flax; the blue rim and the distaff carry the colors of the Society; and the stars represent the original thirteen colonies.

The Indiana Room at the DAR Museum.

Members of the Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution NSDAR) took a step back in time at their recent February meeting.

Brenda Hunt presented a program on the DAR Period Rooms.

Hunt has been a member of DAR since 2012 and currently serves as the DAR Museum Outreach Committee Chair. Through the years, she has served as chapter officer in several positions; Historian, Librarian, Chaplain and Vice-Regent as well as chairing several committees. She is a member of the Society of Indiana PiBRENDA HUNT oneers and former member of Daughters of the Union of the Civil War and Indiana Genealogical Society.

The 31 period rooms, each named for the state who created and is responsible for the room’s maintenance and upkeep allows one to peek into a different time such as an 1810 bedroom or 1820 dining room. Evolving through the years, many of the period rooms today occupy spaces in Memorial Continental Hall that were once the administrative offices of the National Society before the Administration Building was built.

Hunt first focused on the Indiana Room supported by Indiana Daughters and was originally used as the National DAR President General’s office. On the wall is a large portrait of Caroline Scott Harrison, the wife of President Benjamin Harrison and the first President General of the National DAR in 1890. The Indiana Room now replicates a 1930’s parlor furnished in the Colonial Revival style period. Hunt, showing photos and a short video narrated by one of the DAR curators, explained this was a time period when people began collecting antiques from an earlier time period and repurposing furniture. For example, the china cabinet may double as a bookcase and an easy chair may be placed in the parlor rather than in the bed chamber where it would normally be.

A spinning wheel belonging to the grandmother of George Brown Goode is displayed in the Indiana Room.

Bluebird Box Distribution

Do you have Eastern bluebirds around your property or good bluebird habitat?

These birds favor short grass open areas. If you do, putting up a nest box will encourage them to raise their off-spring and help to maintain/increase their numbers in Hendricks County.

Eastern bluebirds, a bird native to North America, eat primarily insects and larvae. You can enjoy seeing and hearing them if you provide a nesting cavity (a special box) for them to use.

Come to the Hendricks County Fairgrounds on March 16, Tuesday, between 6 and 8 p.m. for a drive-in pick-up. A $10 donation per box is requested.

Membership is $10/ year if you want to join us in helping these beautiful birds. ___________

Senior Center Food Pantry

Hendricks County Senior Services offers a food pantry for Hendricks County seniors, including perishable, nonperishable, and hygiene products.

The food pantry is open by appointment. Please call 317-745-4303 to make an appointment to come to the food pantry. Hendricks County Senior Services reserves the right to limit the number of visits. Individuals must be 60 years old or older and a resident of Hendricks County, to use the food pantry. Donations are always needed, accepted and appreciated.

The New Jersey Room at the DAR Museum.

Moving on to the New Jersey Room Hunt said this room, created in 1910 by the New Jersey State Daughters, was originally used as a committee meeting room.

The paneling and furniture were made from oak timbers salvaged from the British frigate, Augusta, that sank off the coast of New Jersey at the battle of Red Bank during the American Revolution in 1777. The chandelier by Philadelphia metalworker Samuel Yellin was meant to represent the 3 ships of Christopher Columbus and one of Leif Erickson which are depicted in the shade. Both the stained glass and painted glass windows depict important Revolutionary battles in New Jersey.

The Period Rooms can be visited at the DAR Headquarters in Washington, DC. The Rooms as well as the DAR Museum, which displays 30,000 objects, are both free of charge to the public. The Museum also offers several online tours and tools such as teacher resources, exhibits, portable education programs, videos, games, puzzles, coloring pages and quizzes.

Black History Month “More Than a Hashtag”

Crusin’ I had not had my license long and Dad was finally letting me go on dates. He had one stipulation however, “Do not go into Indianapolis.” Well, I had been in Indianapolis riding with my buddies and we would cruise around looking cool. There was a pattern everyone followed. You started by crusin the Pole Drive In Restaurant on West 16h St. Then you went south to Greenwood and cruised the South Side Tee Pee Restaurant on Madison Ave. Finally, you would go to the northside and cruise the North Side Tee Pee Restaurant which was on Fall Creek Parkway. If you had no action by this time it was back to the Pole.

Well, it was Saturday night, and I had a date. I needed to impress her with my savvy, so off to Indianapolis we went in my 1957 Plymouth Belvedere. Luckily, I did not get lost (which was a miracle in itself). We had made a couple of rounds and we became hungry. Now the Pole was where all the cool cars cruised through, but the food was too expensive. So, we went to the Frisch’s Big Boy down the street, ordered hamburgers and fries to go and then went back to the Pole. We backed into a spot and ordered two cokes. After paying, we broke out the hidden burgers and fries.

By this time my date was having second thoughts about me. We sat with the radio on listening to WIBC rock and roll and ate. Finally, I said it was time to go and tried to start the car. Bad news. It would not start. I could just see me calling by Dad to come and jump me. I would be grounded for the rest of my life. I turned everything off and we sat and prayed for about 15 minutes which seemed like and eternity. Finally, I tried it again and it started.

Wow! There really is a God. I got my date and myself home on time, but she never went out with me again. I wonder why. Oh well, life at 17 can really be TOUGH. Noel Gatlin ______________________________________________

A Bark From the Past: Henry

[Editor’s Note: The Republican’s first four-footed correspondent was Henry, a mixed breed rescue dog, who made observations about small town life from a dog’s point of view.

(From 2006, Henry shares his thoughts on how humans can be more humane.)

I saw my friends Carmen and Petey on my walk the other day. They told me that there is a need for a more humane county, and I couldn’t agree more. Two of my half-sisters were abandoned on the streets of Danville, and there is nothing humane about that.

Fortunately, there are some humans who are taking action locally, and they have named their group the Hendricks County Humane Society. They are now working with county officials to improve the quality of care given to my brothers and sisters who are dumped or just left behind by their humans.

Possible ways in which the Humane Society may take over sheltering are going to be on the agenda (I went on the agenda until I was housebroken) of the Hendricks County Commissioners. And there is going to be a joint meeting of the County Commissioners and the Hendricks County Council, and the Humane Society will be discussed there, too.

This is important for us, because it concerns how Hendricks County will treat its strayed and abandoned pets in the future and how those pets might have a better chance to be adopted.

Thought for the Day: The question is not ‘can they reason?’ nor ‘can they speak?’, but ‘can they suffer?’ -Jeremy Bentham, in reference to animal welfare. ______________________________________________

[Editor’s Note: Elshadai Aberra, The Republican’s student intern from Avon High School, shared this piece on what Black History Month means to her. After graduation she will be attending the School of Journalism at Northwestern University.]

A lot of people have only been exposed to the reality of being black in America starting this past year, but posting hashtags on social media or watching videos on Facebook just isn’t enough. Here’s what being black is to me– an Ethiopian immigrant, 17-year-old girl.

Being black to me is starting to wonder why God burdened me with melanin at just the age of 5.

Being black to me is only imagining characters of white skin in every book I’ve ever read.

Being black to me is never believing in my potential as a human being because people of my skin color are predisposed to fail.

Being black to me is never recognizing my shade of skin on a TV screen.

4 Black Innovations You May Not Have Learned About in School

By Elshadai Aberra Hairbrush: A black innovator as well as women’s rights advocate fighting for woman’s suffrage, Lyda Newman is best known for inventing the modern hairbrush. While there had been hairbrushes and combs beforehand, Newsman’s hairbrush was specifically crafted for African American hair and made of synthetic bristles rather than animal fur. Newsman patented her hairbrush in 1898 at the ripe age of just 13 years old.

Electric automatic traffic signal: As not only a black innovator in the early 20th century, yet also the first black person to own a car in Cleveland, Ohio, Garrett Morgan patented the first electric automatic traffic signal in 1923. Morgan was the first to think beyond just telling drivers to “Stop” and “Go” as his traffic system stopped traffic in all directions, using a t-shaped pole with three positions to do so.

Morgan sold the rights of his innovation to General Electric for a whopping $40,000.

Home Security System: Born in Queens New York in 1922, Marie Van Brittan Brown invented the world’s first home security system, patenting the innovation in 1966. Influencing the modern home security systems we use to this day, the system was first created to simply keep Brown and her husband safe as the crime rate in their neighborhood had been sky high.

Scared and looking to increase her home’s personal security, Brown took matters into her own hands and invented a system that one, notified her of who was at her home at all times and two, could contact the authorities as quickly as possible.

Ironing Board: Before Sarah Boone, clothes were simply ironed onjagged wooden blocks. While most may not hold so much appreciation for the modern ironing board, thanks to Boone, our ironing boards now feature narrower, curved designs making it far easier to iron clothes, especially women’s clothes. Sarah Boone accomplished this and patented her invention is just 1892, even after spending the early years of her life enslaved, she continued to make life, as miniscule as ironing clothes sounds, easier for those around her. ______________________________________________

Don’t Worry. Just Drive.

Apps Know What You Need If you’ve ever used GPS apps while you travel, you’ve probably noticed location-specific advertising popping up (because after all, they know where you are and where you are headed). Also known as geo-fencing or location-based analytics, this technology creates a virtual perimeter — a dynamically generated radius around a point (i.e., “you”).

Let’s fast forward to see where this technology is headed — remember, every place you go is recorded. This allows for some pretty interesting alerts — here are a few examples…

Because you tend to eat lunch at Chik-fil-A about once a week or so and it’s now approaching lunchtime, and because you’ll be driving by a Chick-fil-A in about two minutes, your GPS announces, “Can I place a Chick-fil-A lunch order for you? It will be ready when you arrive.”

Or, if you’re getting kind of low on gas, “The Sinclair gas station on your right has a better price than any other gas station along today’s route. And by the way, if you stop now, and I mean right now, you’ll get a free car wash if you mention this app.”

And, based on your “history” of mid-morning coffee stops, at the perfect confluence of time and location, “For the next ten minutes, get 50% off your espresso at Java Joe’s — just mention the phrase: Running Latte.”

The possibilities created when meshing location, time of day, travel history, and preferences, allow for a custom experience whenever you travel. It’s mimicking YouTube’s algorithm making recommendations based on your viewing history meshed with preferences from users with a similar profile, except now it’s being applied to your driving experience.

Guess what? Do you need your weekly combo meal but you’re on a tight schedule — see that guy standing in the middle of the road? That’s for you. Roll down your window…NOW! ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “You made the list.” Archy said when he paid an unexpected visit to The Republican office last week. I hesitated to ask which list, hoping he would continue the thought as he pulled the afghan from the back of the rocking chair and fashioned a cozy nest.

“The Squirrel Salon rarely takes in new members, but after the last meeting, it was voted to make an exception in your case.”

My thoughts bounced back and forth between feeling honored and puzzled.

“The topic was history,” he said, “and we agreed you might have some interesting input to offer.”

I asked the squirrel about the conversations at the last meeting.

“Oscar opened the meeting with a quote from Pieter Geyl, ‘History is an argument without an end.’ I’m sure you would agree,” he said.

I felt the tug of being reeled in. I said, “Geyl also said, ‘Imagination plays too important a role in the writing of history, and what is imagination but the projection of the author’s personality.’”

“Precisely!,” Archy exclaimed. “Being one of authors of history’s first draft I knew you would fit right in.”

I inquired how often the Squirrel Salon met and where.

“We are utterly free-form, as Oscar would put it. When the mood strikes us, we send a message by telepathic telegraph. There is some back-and-forth discussion about the topic to be tackled.” He pause a moment, then added, “Of course, I’ll relay the discussion to you since you haven’t had telepathic contact with any of the other members yet. Besides, you won’t earn your voting credentials until you’ve passed muster.”

A feeling of inadequacy started to creep over me. What if I weren’t up to the Squirrel Salon standards? I think Archy noticed.

“Frankly, we have some legacy members I’d love to see booted out, but I’m sure you’ll meet our standards,” he said with a comforting tone.

I asked where the meetings would take place.

“When you join us, they meetings will take place here.

More than enough room. And do you have anymore of these afghans? We’ll need more of them.”

Not only was I hooked, it turned out I was a sucker.

Aloe Vera: Grow Your Own First Aid Kit

By Colletta Kosiba

Hendricks County Master Gardener

One of aloe’s most well-known uses is to soothe sunburnt skin, or as an aid for an oven burn. We had an aloe plant in our home for years. One day I removed a roast from the oven, then I picked up the hot lid, dropped it. Oh my! how my fingers hurt.

Not finding anything in medicine cabinet. I remembered hearing how aloe works on burns. I cut off a fleshy leaf, slit is open, applied to my aching fingers. It was like magic! The pain went away and my fingers never blistered up.

Scientific evidence supports using the jellylike substance inside aloe vera leaves to heal everyday burns, abrasions, and bruises.

At right: The aloe gel is vis-

The fleshy leaves have been used medically, 6,000 years. To use on a burn, just remove a thick sword-like leaf from outer section of the plant: slice it open along its length, squeeze out the gelatinous material and apply to the affected part.

There are numerous aloe-containing products for sale, but using the leaf is the freshest, least expensive way to take advantage of aloe’s healing properties.

Aloe vera is an inexpensive plant. Put it in bright indirect sun light and water Aloe babies are called when the soil is dry about two inches below the surface pups.

- (use your finger to determine how dry the soil is.) The only way to kill an aloe is to overwater or deprive it of light.

Put an aloe vera on your kitchen shelf, enjoy it’s attractive green shape. Now, you have a first-aid kit handy too.

How do they answer the phone at the burn center?

Exploring Hendricks County

By Jackie Horn

Baby, It’s COLD Outside!

It was a little cold for outdoor adventuring this week, so I decided to do a little indoor exploring...

A friend had told me about an article theorizing that the extremely cold temperatures could potentially kill off invasive insects. The idea merited some investigation.

First on my list was the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). The EAB first came to the attention of USDA in 2002 in Detroit MI. Originally from northeastern Asia (Japan, China, North and South Korea, and Russia Far East) is believed to have arrived in the 1990’s in wooden shipping crates. The bug itself does little damage to Ash trees. It nibbles the leaves. The adult lays its eggs in cracks of the bark.

When they hatch into larvae, the “worms” burrow under the bark and feed on the inner bark and phloem.

This is where the damage, and ultimately the death of the tree, occurs. Untreated EAB is 100% fatal to all native North American Ash trees. Currently, 35 states have reported EAB infestations.

Above: The Emerald Ash Wouldn’t it be grand Borer. Below: Damage caused if a good cold snap could by its larvae wipe out this destructive, invasive pest?! Unfortunately, the Emerald Ash Borer, will not be affected by the current cold temperatures. Experts point out that it gets much colder in Canada than here and they still have the pest. To even get a good kill going the mercury needs to dip to -30 degrees Fahrenheit for four

to five hours. Even then, it would only slow them down and wouldn’t kill off all of the bugs.

How about Japanese beetles? I hate them. Will the cold kill them off? Nope. The Japanese beetle larvae are snuggled up and insulated from the cold in the relative warmth of your lawn dreaming of the feast that awaits them this summer in your garden.

Two insects that don’t survive the cold well are Gypsy Moths and bagworms.

Gypsy Moth larvae eat tree foliage, up to one square foot per caterpillar per day. An infestation can strip the trees bare. Continuous defoliation can eventually kill the tree. Gypsy moths are particularly devastating to conifers as they don’t grow replacement needles. The moths lay their eggs in fuzzy sacks that they attach to to tree bark, outdoor furniture and exterior surfaces. There’s not much to insulate the eggs. Even then, the temperature needs to drop to -20 degrees to kill the eggs.

Bagworms are those nasty caterpillars that form web-like bags in trees. The worms feed on the canopy and like Gypsy moths, defoliate the trees and potentially killing them. The females hang their egg sacks Bagworms lay their eggs in from tree branches. It has sacks that attach to trees. no real protection from extremely cold temperatures. Twenty-four hours at -1 degree should eliminate plenty of bagworms.

Depending on how you look at it, fortunately, or unfortunately, our temperatures locally have been cold, but just below zero, not cold enough to do much good eliminating destructive invasive insect populations. Entomologists are quick to point out that insects have been around for over 300 million years and have adapted to weather and climate changes. Insects such as Monarch butterflies migrate to warmer areas. Other insects winter over in different stages of development, some as eggs, protected by leaf debris or soil, some as larvae, deep underground where the temperature doesn’t affect them. Adult insects may enter into diapause or a dormant state. Others have developed survival mechanisms such as changing their body chemistry into antifreeze to protect them against freezing weather. It doesn’t appear that we’ll be “bug-free” anytime soon.

In the meantime, I think I’ll stay inside my afghan cocoon, sip herbal tea antifreeze, and maybe try that diapause thing.

I do love garage sales. I find all kinds of things. Where else can you find children’s clothes for 50 cents, books for 50 cents etc. My greatest find was 15 crisp brand new 10 dollar bills in a pair of jeans. I paid $2 for the jeans.

I always wash garage sale clothes before wearing them.

I was emptying out the pockets not expecting to find anything and what to my amazement did I find but the money.

I had been to about 10 sales that day. Darned if I didn’t remember where I had bought the jeans. I remembered the woman who was having the sale telling me her mother hid money. I have to admit I wrestled with my conscience as to whether I should take the money back or not. My conscience won out. When I explalined to the woman what I found she told me what a good Christian I was. That took about 2 minutes then it took another 15 minutes for her to tell me she would have done the same thing because she was such a good Christian. I was rather rushed that day and needed to get going. A sincere thank you would have been sufficient. I started to drive away and the woman started running after me. She gave me my $2 back. She told me she wouldn’t feel right if she didn’t give me my money back.

Ever dream about being an Olympic athlete? Washington Township Parks will give would-be Olympians a taste of what it would feel like to compete in a biathlon.

Biathlons date back to the 18th century in Scandinavia.

Quickly gaining popularity with an annual Norwegian competition and the first appearance at Winter Olympics in 1924, the long-running competitive sport eventually created a women’s event in the 1992 Olympics and additional events were added for men and women in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.

What is a Biathlon?

Biathlon competions are typically ran in downhill or cross-country skiing, with range shooting intermittently. Not only do competitors have to be excellent on a pair of skis, traveling approximately 12 miles for men and 10 miles for women, they also have to be excellent marksmen, carrying 20 rounds of ammunition for four firing sessions.

Rifle shooting will be done with paintball guns in version of biathlon. this Shooting isadone prone (laying down)

and standing. Any missed shots get a penalty and could cost you the medal.

If the competitive side of you is itching to get involved or learn more, Washington Township’s Avon Park is offering their first-ever Indiana version of the Biathlon.

Competitors will meet at the lower park near the pavilion, run, jog or walk a half mile before stopping for some paintball target practice.

Total running is 2.5 miles with four shooting range stops. You must hit all your targets, twice prone and twice standing before continuing to the next half- mile loop.

It may be more difficult than you think.

Recreation Coordinator Trilby Berry-Tayman has had the idea for a biathlon

in the back of her mind for several years. A fun idea, but how to make it suitable for families and of course, not on skis?

“I just think it’s the coolest thing,” Berry-Tayman Berry-Tayman said.

“These guys run and then have to slow their heartbeats down in order to shoot the target.”

Eventually, it came to her – a combination of running and paintball target practice makes the event fun and a challenge for all involved.

“The whole idea is [during the pandemic], people are motivated to do something and try something new,” she added. “It’s just for fun and the sport just fascinates me.”

The cost is $10 to participate. Minimum age is 14 and there will be three people competing at a time, with a semi-final and final round. Register on the park website.

The team at the Washington Township Parks and Recreation Department have been actively brainstorming ideas to get residents outside, in the fresh air and safe while they do it.

“Especially through this winter season, we’re making a concentrated effort to help our community and help each other have hope,” Berry-Tayman said. “We can see the light at the end of the tunnel and we need to continue to be safe.”

Through the end of February, try your hand at curling. Another take on a unique sport – the Avon version is on a synthetic ice rink with a stone and bearings on the bottom. Hit the circle and gain points.

Parking Lot Bingo is 4 to 6 p.m. March 13. Stay in your car and play Bingo the old-fashioned way to win prizes.

Hendricks Behavioral Health Opening Soon at Plainfield

HCCF Awards $40,000 in COVID-19 Response Grants During 2020

Danville Warriors Take Sagamore Conference Championship

By: Melissa Gibson One year ago this month, the groundbreaking for Hendricks Behavioral Health was celebrated at 1100 Southfield Drive, Plainfield. Today, the anticipated opening of the facility is just days away and leaders in the community as well as residents are looking forward to it.

Hendricks Regional Health (HRH) had closed their behavioral health services prior to President and CEO Kevin Speer interviewing for the position. He walked into the job, knowing that mental health and addiction services were critical to the health of the community.

“Individuals were having to go to the north or south side of Indy to get needed services and I made a commitment [in the interview process] that a priority would be reestablishing behavioral health services,” Speer said.

Hospital administration began looking for a partner in the process and found US HealthVest, an organization that brings psychiatric and substance abuse care to communities across the country.

“Over the course of our discussion with them, we came to the mutual conclusion that Plainfield would be a perfect site,” said Gary Everling, Chief Strategy Officer at HRH. “We have land on the northside of our existing facility and we’ve leased that land to US HealthVest for a new, 100 patient facility.”

HRH will provide occupational health services, medical physicians to cover patient physicals and a variety of other needs.

The partners are currently working on a strategy to facilitate emergency room visits, better served at the behavioral health site.

“HRH spends a lot of time evaluating our partners in the industry,” Everling said. “It’s a comUS HealthVest has posted construction photos and anticipated plicated process and very renderings of what patients can expect within the facility on their involved. We want rela- website. tionships, collaborations ____________________________________________________ and even friendships. We did our investigative work [on US HealthVest], background checks and reached out to other hospitals collaborating with US HealthVest.”

The conversations and opinions of former and current collaborators had all good things to say about US HealthVest and the Hendricks community began to feel the excitement of a much needed and anticipated project.

“We’ve had enormous partnerships within the community,” Speer said. “That’s really paid dividends and built excitement. The leadership in the Town of Plainfield have been unbelievably supportive. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems and we went through the process of getting proper zoning for the property among other things and the leadership has just been remarkable.”

The impatient facility offers 112 beds for all ages and all abilities to pay. Outpatient services are also available, and patients may find their programming more intensive than the typical 30-minute session seen at other facilities.

They offer 24/7 crisis assessments, inpatient psychiatric programs, inpatient detox and substance use disorder programs, dual diagnosis programs and adolescent psychiatric programs.

“You would be hard-pressed to find a situation or condition they would not be able to handle,” Everling said.

Speer believes the community and the world has yet to see the full effects of what the pandemic has done as far as isolation, financial stress and more.

In a world where connection has been discouraged, mental health and addiction patients are suffering.

“This facility couldn’t have come at a more perfect time,” Speer said. “Now, more than ever, these services are needed in our community.”

An anticipated soft opening of the facility is planned in the next 30 days. ______________________________________________________________________

As we approach the one year mark of the global pandemic, the Hendricks County Community Foundation is continuing to work hard to help the county meet the challenges of COVID-19.

In March 2020, HCCF launched the All In, Hendricks County Rapid Response Fund in partnership with Duke Energy Foundation and Hendricks Power Cooperative to support nonprofits that serve those most directly impacted by COVID-19. All In, Hendricks County came from our partnership with Visit Hendricks County's focus on the good things happening in Hendricks County.

The Community Foundation has awarded COVID-19 response grants in three phases.

Phase 1 provided unrestricted grants to organizations providing the front-line response to the pandemic. In Phase 2, HCCF provided a matching grant opportunity to seventeen local nonprofits struggling to meet their year-end fundraising goals due to COVID restrictions. The grants were unrestricted but required a $1 to $1 match to encourage charitable giving from our community.

Phase 3 grants, approved by the HCCF Board of Directors in December 2020, provided $40,000 ($10,000 each) to four local nonprofits: Family Promise of Hendricks County, the Hendricks County Food Pantry Coalition, Hendricks County Senior Services, and WorkOne. These grants were designed to support areas of need in our community still impacted by the coronavirus, including food insecurity, homelessness, support for seniors, and unemployment.

Because of generous donors, both individuals and organizations, the Community Foundation has been able to provide grants of over $575,000 to support our community in dealing with the difficulties of COVID-19. Eric Hessel, HCCF Vice President of Programs said, "Over the last year our community has shown just how giving they are. Because of these donors, HCCF was able to meet critical needs in our community. Whatever the future holds, the Community Foundation will be here serving Hendricks County."

The Hendricks County Community Foundation partners with generous people to realize their charitable goals while addressing community needs in meaningful and lasting ways. The Community Foundation manages assets of over $19 million in a collection of funds created by individuals, families, businesses and organizations for charitable purposes. In 2020, the Community Foundation awarded over $1.6 million in grants to charitable organizations and scholarships to local students.

Danville’s Braxton Fulwider (#1) Runs Offense against Crawfordsville.

What has now been a common theme among Danville High School sports teams, another championship was won over the weekend by the Danville Boys Basketball program.

The Crawfordsville Athenians visited on Friday night, bringing with them their undefeated conference record to match the Warriors undefeated conference record. The winner of tonight’s game would be the 2020-2021 Sagamore Conference Champions.

The game did not start well for the home team as they struggled to get out of the gate offensively. Falling behind by eight points early in the contest, Coach Barber and the players would have to adjust quickly to match the intensity brought to the floor by the Athenians. As they have done successfully more often than not this season, the proper adjustments were made and the Warriors erased the early deficit to take a 40-35 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The second half would bring more of the same as these two teams battled it out and never let the other get too far out in front. Danville eventually reached a double-digit lead and held on down the stretch to win this one by the final score of 84-73. The Danville Warriors are the 2020-2021 Sagamore Conference Champions!

Crawfordsville will not have to wait long to try and avenge this crushing defeat as they and Danville drew each other for a match-up in the opening round of the Sectionals. The two teams will square off at 6pm on Wednesday, March 3 at Frankfort High School. The winner of this game will likely face Greencastle who takes on North Montgomery in their first-round match up.

In the win against Crawfordsville, leading the Warriors in scoring was Kobe Ward with 21, Brady Ruggles with 20 and Brayton McMahon with 17 points.

The Warriors also played a non-conference make up game against North Putnam the next night but dropped a close one to the Cougars by the final score of 69-65. Kobe Ward finished with 26 points in this game and Brady Ruggles added 16 on the night.

Danville has one more game before heading to the postseason as they host the Avon Orioles on Friday, February 26. The Junior Varsity game is at 6pm and the Varsity game will start around 7:30pm. ______________________________________________________________________

Danville-Center Twp. Library Receives Recycling Grant

The Danville-Center Township Public Library received a 2020 Hendricks County Recycling District Community Grant. Each year the District offers grants to local tax-exempt and not-for-profit organizations that take on projects that further the District’s mission of waste reduction, reuse and recycling.

The library is using this grant to expand its recycling program. Three new outdoor recycling containers for bottles and cans have been purchased. Also, three new trash containers were obtained by the library. The new containers are located near the Indiana Street entrance, the Marion Street entrance and in the Reading Garden.

For many years, the library has had a recycling program. At first, the library recycled paper, plastic and cans.

Blue recycling totes are located in several work areas.

About 1 ½ years ago, a large toter was obtained. At that time, the Library began recycling cardboard. This is done on a weekly basis through Ray’s Trash Service. With the purchase of the outdoor recycling containers, the library is now able to expand recycling of bottles and cans to the public. The goal is not only to educate the public on the benefits of recycling, but to lead by example.

The Hendricks County Recycling District Community Grant helps the library move forward with our recycling program. The Danville-Center Township Public Library’s board and staff thanks the Hendricks County Recycling District for their help in expanding our recycling program. ______________________________________________

Council OKs Street Closures, New Truck

Snow didn’t slow the Danville Town Council from its businesses on February 17. Fortunately, the agenda was short, as was the meeting.

Sarah Fentz, appearing on behalf of the Downtown Danville Merchants, requested street closures on Jefferson and Washington streets on the square on June 12, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the second annual Destination Danville event.

The request was approved.

Another request for street closures came from Kelly DiBenedetto for the Danville Chamber of Commerce’s Farmers Market. The Market will be on Washington Street, east side of the square on Saturdays mornings from May 8 to Sept. 4. This also received approval.

Ronn Oren, president of the Downtown Danville Partnership, introduced the group’s new Executive Director, Anne Johannson.

Still in an approving mood, the Council okayed the expenditure request from the Water Dept. for a new service truck to replace the current one, in service since 1993. The request was for $48,484.50 for the cab and chassis, plus $35,355 for custome buildout. ___________

Danville Sets School and Sectional Records At IHSAA Swim And Dive Sectional Championship

Thursday, February 25, 2021

Danville Grad Gets A Taste of ABA Game

Above: Junior Max Warner makes a clean entry into the pool as the anchor of Danville’s 400 yard freestyle relay team.

The Danville Boys’ Swimming and Diving Team placed an impressive second out of 11 contenders last weekend in the 2021 sectional championships, besting several larger high schools in the process but unable to overcome Plainfield. The team of 12 swimmers and one diver is coached

by Abby Toole, Mary Neilson, and Tim Higbie. This year’s sectional meet was hosted by Avon High School.

Danville HS Senior Ty Simon is nearly unrecognizable under his cap, goggles, and mask as he awaits the start of the 100 yard backstroke.

Despite numerous quarantines and team setbacks throughout the unusual 2020-2021 pandemic season, the 200 yard medley relay team posted a new school record of 1:41.90. The relay team included seniors Luke Phillips at breaststroke, Chase Burke at backstroke, Hunter Eisele at freestyle, and junior Max Warner swimming the butterfly. After his impressive time in the relay, Warner went on to place first overall in the 100 yard freestyle, earning a spot at the state championship meet with a time of 48.61 over Plainfield’s Xander Straw, who hit the wall only a hundredth of a second behind Warner. Warner also placed second overall in the 50 yard freestyle, where teammate Hunter Eisele placed 8th.

The highlight of this year’s meet was another stellar performance by outstanding sophomore diver Holden Higbie, who set a new sectional record in one meter diving with a score of 558.00. Higbie will advance to the regional qualifier for the second year in a row, and is expected to once again make it to the state championship. “Holden has worked hard all season,” said coach Toole. “He had a

strong performance at sectional finals and we are all excited to see him advance to state finals. Coach Tim is hoping Holden can better last year’s 5th place finish.”

In the backstroke, junior Garrett Vandermark and senior Ty Simon placed ninth and eleventh respectively behind teammate Burke, who placed sixth with a time of 58.92.

Junior and team co-captain Caleb Hudson placed third in the 200 yard freestyle, with a season best time of 1.52.93. Fellow junior Eli Phillips placed fifth in that event, with sophomore Isaac Means coming in at twelfth overall. The three distance swimmers also competed in the 500 yard freestyle, with Phillips and Means each posting personal bests.

Brothers Luke and Eli Phillips swam together in the 200 yard freestyle relay along with teammates Vandermark and Hudson, posting an overall time of 1:37.21 which earned them a solid fourth-place finish.

In another meet highlight, the 400 yard freestyle relay team of Burke, Hudson, Eisele, and Warner placed an impressive second behind Plainfield at 3.24.17.

Senior Daniel Hazelton placed 11th in the 200 yard individual medley behind teammate Luke Phillips, who placed sixth. Other finishes include Burke at 7th overall in the 100 yard butterfly, where Simon placed eleventh.

Phillips and Hazelton also swam the breaststroke along with senior teammate Carson Sadler. Phillips placed seventh ahead of Hazelton at tenth and Sadler at sixteenth.

A newcomer to the breaststroke, Sadler posted a personal best time in that event.

The state swimming and diving championships will be streamed live at IHSAAtv.org. No spectators are allowed due to pandemic health guidelines.

Friday’s preliminaries will begin at noon. Saturday’s diving competition starts at 9:00 a.m. and championship finals are set to begin at 3:00 p.m.

Dillon Ware (DCHS Class of 2020) seems to be enjoying being a part of Hendricks County’s first professional basketball team. Ware will participate in the rest of this season as No. 4 on the Indiana Lyons team.

Ware rises above the fray to try for a goal.

Ware has been averaging 9.5 points per game with a 70% field goal average.

The Lyons were ahead in last Saturday’s game against the St. Louis Spirits when the game was stopped in the 3rd quarter when one of the St. Louis players slapped one of the Lyons. The police were called and quickly arrived to gain control. The benches were cleared and the game went to the Lyons.

Lyons owners Tyrone and Deborah Brown issued a statement apologizing to the fans and the Danville Community.

“Our greatest desire is to provide a family-friendly atmosphere where our fans can come out and safely enjoy a few hours of fund watching our team compete with other teams in the ABA League. Tonight’s incident goes totally against our values and who we are as a team and organization.”

The Lyons next home game will be Sunday, March 7, against the Midwest Falcons. Home games take place in Bossitick Gym, 49 N. Wayne St., Danville. Doors open at 3 p.m., with tip-off at 4 p.m. _____________________________________________

Emmanuel Baptist Church Hosts Training in Evangelism

Emmanuel Baptist Church, 8350 St. Rd. 236, North Salem, is hosting “How to have a Gospel Conversation,” on Sunday, February 28, at 10:30 a.m.

The training is being offered by David Wilson, President and co-founder of OnMission2 International Ministries. OnMission2 was incorporated in 2019, shortly after David and his wife, DebDAVID WILSON ra, returned from Equidor, South American, where that had served as full-time missionaries from 2014.

In Ecuador, David and Debra established two local churches and ministered to three existing churches, providing training in leadership development and personal evangelism. During their time in Ecuador, their ministries expanded with outdoor evangelism campaigns, outreach Bible studies and home visitation. They received preaching and teaching opportunities through invitations from public schools, orphanages, neighborhood associations and government officials who heard about their work.

David was instrumental in initiating a mission partnership between the Ecuador Baptist Convention and the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana that led to approximately 100 Ecuadorian pastors receiving theological training over a three-year period.

David is offering to train churhes in the Unitied States in his unique training in evangelism developed from his personal experience.

BOND SALE NOTICE PLAINFIELD-GUILFORD TOWNSHIP PUBLIC LIBRARY

LEGAL NOTICE OF SALE

Sealed proposals will be received on behalf of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library (the “Library”), at the office of Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC (“Baker Tilly”), 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana, Indiana, up to the hour of 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on March 18, 2021, for the purchase of the bonds described as follows: Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library General Obligation Bonds of 2021 (the “Bonds”), in the aggregate amount of approximately $4,000,000; Originally dated the date of delivery of the Bonds; Fully registered form; Denomination $5,000 or integral multiples thereof (or in such other denomination as requested by the winning bidder); Bearing interest at a rate or rates not to exceed a maximum of 4.00% per annum (to be determined by bidding), which interest will be payable no sooner than July 15, 2022, and semiannually on January 15 and July 15 thereafter; Principal payable at the U.S. Bank National Association, in Indianapolis, Indiana, or by wire transfer to depositories on the payment date; Interest payable by check mailed one business day prior to interest payment date or by wire transfer to depositories on the interest payment date to registered owners or depositories as of the fifteenth day immediately preceding the interest payment date; Maturing on January 15 and July 15 beginning no earlier than July 15, 2022 through not later than January 15, 2031 on the dates and amounts as provided by the Library prior to the sale.

The Library reserves the right to adjust the maturity schedule following the sale in order to accomplish the Library’s financial objectives by reallocating debt service based upon the rates by the successful bidder (the “Purchaser”).

Notice is hereby given that electronic proposals will be received via PARITY®, in the manner described below, up until the hour of 11:00 a.m. (Indianapolis Time), on March 18, 2021. Bids may be submitted electronically via PARITY® pursuant to this Notice until the time specified in the Notice, but no bid will be received after the time for receiving bids specified above. To the extent any instructions or directions set forth in PARITY® conflict with this Notice, the terms of this Notice shall control. For further information about PARITY®, potential bidders may contact the Library’s municipal advisor, Baker Tilly at (317) 465-1500 and by email at bids@bakertilly.com or PARITY® at (212) 849-5021.

As an alternative to PARITY®, bidders may submit a sealed bid or e-mail the bid electronically to the Library’s municipal advisor at the address described above until the time of the bond sale as listed above. Upon completion of the bidding procedures described herein, the results of the sealed or emailed bids received shall be compared to the electronic bids received by the Library.

If a potential bidder has questions related to the Library, the financing or submission of bids, questions should be submitted by email to the address above no later than 11:00 a.m. (Indianapolis Time) on March 16, 2021. To the best of the Library’s ability, all questions will be addressed by the Library and sent to potential bidders, including any bidders requesting 24 hours’ notice of sale, no later than 5:00 p.m.

(Indianapolis Time) on March 16, 2021. Additionally, upon request, the written responses will be emailed to any other interested bidder.

Bidders should review this notice as well as the preliminary official statement and submit any questions in advance of this deadline to submit questions.

The Bonds have been designated by the Library as qualified tax-exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof (the “Code”).

The Bonds are not redeemable at the option of the Library prior to maturity.

Bidders for the Bonds will be required to name the purchase price, not less than 100% of par and the interest rate or rates which the Bonds are to bear. Such interest rate or rates must be in multiples of 1/8th or 1/100th of 1%. Bids specifying two or more interest rates shall also specify the amount and maturities of the Bonds bearing each rate, but all Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same single interest rate. The Bonds will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose bid is submitted in accordance herewith.

The winning bidder will be the one who offers the lowest net interest cost to the Library, to be determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds to their maturities based upon the schedule provided by the Library prior to the sale and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, and adding thereto the discount bid, if any. Any premium bid must be paid at closing as a part of the purchase price. Although not a term of sale, it is requested that each bid show the net dollar interest cost from the date of the Bonds to final maturity and the net effective average interest rate. No conditional bids will be considered. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. If an acceptable bid is not received for the Bonds on the date of sale hereinbefore fixed, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement, during which time no bid which provides a higher net interest cost to the Library than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale will be considered.

A good faith deposit (“Deposit”) in the form of cash or certified or cashier’s check in the amount of $40,000 payable to the order of Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library is required to be submitted by the successful Purchaser not later than 3:30 p.m. (Indianapolis time) on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that time, the Library may reject the bid. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds. In the event the Purchaser fails to honor the accepted bid, the Deposit will be retained by the Library as liquidated damages.

The Purchaser shall make payment for such Bonds and accept delivery thereof within five days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at such place in the City of Indianapolis, Indiana, as the Purchaser may designate, or at such other location mutually agreed to by the Library and the Purchaser. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within 45 days after the date of sale. If the Library fails to have the Bonds ready for delivery prior to the close of banking hours on the forty-fifth day after the date of sale, the Purchaser may secure the release of the bid upon request in writing, filed with the Library. Unless otherwise requested by the winning bidder, the Purchaser is expected to apply to a securities depository registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to make such Bonds depository eligible. If the Bonds are reoffered by an underwriter, at the time of delivery of the Bonds to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will be required to certify to the Library the initial reoffering price to the public of a substantial amount of each maturity of the Bonds.

All provisions of the bid form and Preliminary Official Statement (as hereinafter defined) are incorporated herein. As set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement, the Purchaser agrees by submission of their bid to assist the Library in establishing the issue price of the Bonds under the terms outlined therein and shall execute and deliver to the Library at closing an “issue price” certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser, the Library and Ice Miller LLP (“Bond Counsel”).

Bidders must comply with the Rules of PARITY® (the “Rules”) in addition to requirements of this Notice. To the extent there is a conflict between the Rules and this Notice, this Notice shall control. Bidders may change and submit bids as many times as they wish during the sale, but they may not withdraw a submitted bid. The last bid submitted by a bidder prior to the deadline for the receipt of bids will be compared to all other final bids to determine the winning bid. During the sale, no bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (e.g., whether their bid is a leading bid).

It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or refusal by the Purchaser therefore to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its proposal. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall hereafter attach to the Library or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP identification numbers on the Bonds shall be paid for by the Library; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the resale of the Bonds.

The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of procuring funds to be renovation of and improvements to Plainfield-Guilford Public Library, including site improvements and the purchase of equipment and technology, and will be the direct obligations of the Library, payable out of ad valorem taxes to be collected on the taxable property within the Library; however, the Library’s collection of the levy may be limited by operation of I.C. 6-1.1-20.6, which provides taxpayers with tax credits for property taxes attributable to different classes of property in an amount that exceeds certain percentages of the gross assessed value of that property. The Library is required by law to fully fund the payment of debt service on the Bonds in an amount sufficient to pay the debt service, regardless of any reduction in property tax collections due to the application of such tax credits. The Library may not be able to levy or collect additional property taxes to make up this shortfall. The Library is a library organized pursuant to the provisions of I.C. 20-23; the Bonds will not be “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the Code.

The Library has prepared a Preliminary Official Statement (“Preliminary Official Statement”) relating to the Bonds which it has deemed nearly final. A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement may be obtained from the Library’s municipal advisor, Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687. Within seven (7) business days of the sale, the Library will provide the successful bidder with sufficient copies of the Final Official Statement (the “Final Official Statement”) in order for the Purchaser to comply with Section (b)(4) of SEC Rule 15c2-12 and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board at the Library’s expense. Additional copies, at the Purchaser’s expense, must be requested within five (5) business days of the sale. Inquiries concerning matters contained in the Preliminary Official Statement must be made and pricing and other information necessary to complete the Final Official Statement must be submitted by the Purchaser within two (2) business days following the sale to be included in the Final Official Statement.

If the Bonds are reoffered by an underwriter, the Library agrees to enter into a supplement to continuing disclosure undertaking agreement (the “Master Agreement”) in order to permit the Purchaser to comply with the SEC Rule 15c2-12, as amended to the date hereof. A copy of such Master Agreement is available from the Library or municipal advisor at the addresses below.

Further information relative to the Bonds and a copy of the Preliminary Official Statement may be obtained upon application to Montie Manning, Director of the Library, 1120 Stafford Road, Plainfield, Indiana 46168-2230. If bids are submitted by mail, they should be addressed to the Library, attention of Montie Manning, Director of the Library, c/o Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687.

These Bonds are offered subject to the approving opinion of Bond Counsel. The Library will furnish at its expense the bond counsel opinion, printed bond forms, a transcript of proceedings, and closing papers in the usual form showing no litigation questioning the validity of the Bonds at the time of delivery.
