Gather To Read

To Read..or Not to Read…a BOOK. The Hendricks County Extension Homemakers (EHM) will answer that question by hosting “Gather to Read” on Tuesday, April 12th, at 1:30 p.m. at the Hendricks Co. Fairgrounds.

This is a new effort by Homemakers to share with all people – Homemakers, public, men, women, readers, listeners, learners, bookworms – everyone! And the great part is it’s just coming together – to decide, how, when, where YOU like to read or listen.

“We CAN have day groups, night clubs, monthly gatherings ! That’s why we will Gather to Read,” explained Rosie Lenihan, County President of Extension Homemakers. “This is the time to share and initiate book events that suit everyone’s preferences. No one needs to buy books.

We have six great libraries in Hendricks County who are most happy to find books.”

Please call the Hendricks Co. Extension Office at 317745-9260 if you would like to attend “Gather to Read.”

Or just come – we can find space – there’s always a place to read. ______________________________________________

Meet The Candidates

By Melissa Gibson More than two decades ago, Danville High School’s Social Studies teacher, Mike Neilson came up with an idea to give students hands-on experience with the political process. This generation of students will prepare and host “Candidate’s Night” at the DCHS Auditorium on Tuesday, April 12, at 6 p.m., in the DCHS auditorium.

“I hadn’t even ran for Town Council yet but I thought, let’s make this a school event, student led and student ran and I’ll be on the sidelines,” Neilson said. “We can make this a class activity as well as share information with the community.”

In 1996, students began by contacting local candidates but as the years passed by, the class and Neilson decided to go beyond just local candidates.

“During the Presidential election years, we decided, what’s the worst that could happen? They might say no. We’ve received several polite refusals and one year, we received a call from the White House during Barack Obama’s presidency. That’s the highest level of response we’ve ever had,” Neilson said.

In the classroom, the students discuss how the Pedro Jackson and Mackenzie Sorrell post signs around the the Danville Community High School, encouraging voter registra- candidates interact with tion. people, their desire to reg___________________________________________________ ister to vote and the skill of networking together and with their candidates.

Once there, he found Joseph Jackson, 22, of Raytown, Missouri with a flat tire. After Roberts loaded the vehicle on the tow truck, Jackson allegedly fired multiple shots at him, then left the scene in the tow truck, along with Jackson’s 4-year-old son.

He was apprehended a short time later.

Jackson was taken to the Hendricks County Jail. The Hendricks County Prosecutor’s office has filed charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery, neglect of a dependent, carrying a handgun without a license, and theft of the tow truck. ___________

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: A “beastly, pugilistic encounter” during an 1884 Sugar Grove church revival led me to look into other church misbehaviors reported locally over the years.

In 1876, “the behavior of some young persons at the different churches is becoming very annoying and is attracting attention where they perhaps least suspect,” the Union reported.

“There is a heavy penalty for disturbing religious assemblages that should, and will be, enforced.”

At Cartersburg in 1877, “whoever heard of young ladies behaving so badly in church that they had to be rebuked for their misbehavior? ‘Tis a sad reality here. Shame, ladies!”

Were they overtly flirting, giggling or effecting sounds of flatulence?

At Clayton in 1879, an indictment was brought against a young man for his behavior in church.

“Young men, why will you bring disgrace on yourselves and shame on your parents and friends?” the correspondent asked. “Church is not the place for a display of bad breeding, and persons who are guilty of such conduct should be handled as roughly as the law will admit.”

But consider the hypocrisy of politicians convening sessions with prayer, only to blithely launch into actions clearly contravening their public show of piety.

We’ve road rage and air rage. Church rage was de rigueur for some 19th century congregants.

An 1880 dispute between two Kentuckians forced services to adjourn until “the belligerents” exchanged gunfire.

In St. Louis, a drowsy churchgoer in 1881 accidentally stepped on a fellow parishioner’s foot afflicted by “grievous corns.” The affronted man drew a knife and chased sleepyhead into the street where he “dangerously stabbed him.”

Pittsboro’s Christian Church endured “hoodlums” in 1886 who spit tobacco on the floor during services. “No well-raised person will have the audacity to spit amber on the floor.”

When I bought auctioned cattle, farmers spit on seats; the venue encouraged it. The cattle didn’t seem to care. No one dared a toilet visit, the custodian having died some years earlier.

“A florid and unanimous young man tried to capture the entire Yearly Meeting at Plainfield” in September 1889, “the object being to turn the Friends’ Church bodily into the Third Party.”

He was “promptly squelched.”

During services at Danville’ s Methodist Church that year, “two young ‘ladies’ (?) misbehaved so badly . . . that they attracted general attention. If the ministers of the town will publicly name these giddy gillies, we promise to state the facts very plainly in this paper. Spot the caty-dids and show them the back door.”

The Republican’s patience was sorely tested in 1889: “It must be awfully funny to go to church and chew gum like a Kansas grasshopper, and gabble like a matrimonial duck . . . but it would be a good deal funnier . . . if some two-fisted usher would . . . snatch you bald, and swipe you a few times across the neck. Ushers, do your duty.”

An 1890 fight between the “radical and liberal factions” of Daleville’s United Brethren Church led to one sinner whacking another over the head with a poker, fracturing his skull.

There was clubbing and pistol-whipping, but only one serious injury. Six men were arrested for assault and battery. Two were judged guilty and fined, one $15, the other $5.

The “best citizens” were involved, The Republican reported, more trouble was expected, and additional charges.

A Montgomery County man who abandoned his young wife and child had the gall to show up for church with another woman in 1890.

“This angered the ladies . . . and headed by the deserted wife, they waylaid” the scoundrel and administered a beating, “the male escorts being present to insure no resistance” by the “recreant.”

On an 1892 Sunday at Crawfordsville’s First Presbyterian, a church member “in good and regular standing” appeared, quite drunk, “and with a whoop, started down the aisle,” carrying a large bouquet.

“He struck the waltz step and with a vigorous glide” landed directly in front of the minister, who stared “with open mouth” and in “pea-eyed wonder.”

The inebriate removed his hat, “and with a grand flourish proposed three cheers for the preacher,” and then presented the bouquet.

Seizing “an imaginary partner,” he waltzed back down the aisle and through the door.

“The sermon was concluded with difficulty.”

Publisher’s Point of View Candidate Edition (7,368th issue)

Well, here we are. The candidates edition for the county primaries in May. We are a small staff, but this year everyone put in extra time to put together what basically amounts to two issues in one week. That put an extra amount of work on our wonderful editor as she is also the newspapers paginator. (Look it up) Thanks for getting us here.

The last two years have been like a mirror, showing us who we are as a community. We are acutely aware of how our family, friends and neighbors feel about politics, religion, and school curriculums. We even know how they feel about the double drive thru lanes at McDonalds restaurants. With a better view of your community, the question becomes, “Do you like what you see?” As the majority of residents are conservative in this county the question becomes, “How conservative of a place do you want to live?” Your vote in primaries is your answer to the question. “Be the change you want to see.”

We reached out to every candidate that we could and offered space for a picture and short biography of themselves, at no charge. We also reached out to the candidates in key contested races for a more in depth look at who they are and why they are running.

We hope you learn a little more about each candidate in this issue. You should know a little more about who is running than what you read in the comment thread of your local “chatter” pages. The newspaper also encourages you to reach out to any candidate personally if you want to know more about them. Please don’t base your vote solely on whether they have an R or D next to their name. That is just plain irresponsible.

You can also find a map of the voting centers in the county too. Keep this issue at hand and please share with those that are not subscribers.

Evangelist To Speak at Clayton

First Baptist Church of Clayton, 4797 Iowa Street, invites you to a special program on Saturday, April 9, 2022, at 6 p..m. The speaker will be Kirill Swiderski from Chosen People Ministries.

Kirill was born into a non-religious Jewish family in Moscow, Russia. At 27 he and his young family and immigrated to Germany. Kirill and his wife Elena came to faith in the Messiah after a believer traveling through their city missed his train to another city and ended up spending several days in their home.

After coming to believe in Messiah Jesus, they were filled with passion for ministry. Kirill and Elena started visiting Russian Jewish people in their area; inviting them to a home Bible study group in their apartment.

That home group eventually grew so large that today it is one of the largest Messianic congregations in Germany.

Since 2008 Kirill lives with his family in the USA, serving the Lord among the large Russian­speaking Jewish community in Chicago. Eventually another Messianic congregation was established as a result of their ministry there.

Kirill and Elena are also coeditors-in-chief of a Messianic newspaper “Kol Hesed”(The Voice of Grace”) which is printed in both German and Russian. __________

Exploring Hendricks County

By Jackie Horn

1830’s homestead at Shrader-Weaver Nature Park. ____________________________________________________

John at the base of one of the old-growth trees at Shrader-Weaver Nature Park. ____________________________________________________

A new year means new challenges...and PRIZES! The Indiana State Nature Passport has added 20 new sites to their 2022 challenge. Most are nature preserves or fish and wildlife areas. Unfortunately, if you claimed a prize in 2021, you can’t get another this year. (I’m bummed about this. I need another pair of sunglasses.) The good news is, there are 20 new places to explore! John and I started this past week.

The weather was fabulous and John had an appointment on the east side of Indy. We packed up and headed out for the day. Our first stop was an hour and forty-five minutes away at Brookville Lake/Mounds State Recreation Area.

We checked in on the app. With other plans in mind and not having enough time for a lengthy walk, we decided to save this spot for another time.

We continued to our second destination a short 15-minute drive away, Whitewater Memorial State Park. A quick stop at the office for some information and a few pictures and we were off again. This time to Shrader-Weaver Nature Preserve near Bentonville (the GPS shows the address as Connersville.)

Memories of Past Times Lucille Stamper (1927-1915), did something more of us should do. She took time to write down her memories for her grandchildren and friends. The article following is one of her memory treasures. ______________________________________________

Gardening in the Spring Every spring I have special memories of garden planting time when I was a little girl.

I lived on a farm and at that time my Daddy used a team of horses to do his field work. One special horse of this team was Patsy; she was the gentle, bay horse (meaning reddish-brown) that Daddy hitched up to the one-horse plow to plow the garden.

Patsy also pulled the little disk used to break up the clods of dirt and the drag that Daddy made just to use in the garden. In my memory bank I can still see Daddy standing on that drag as it bounced along on the garden soil.

The planting was all supervised by Daddy. After he made the rows with the garden push­plow, my brother and I helped him carry the little buckets of seeds to the garden area. We planted corn, beans, peas, carrots, and beets; and Daddy showed us how many seeds to put in each hill and how to space them. He always cautioned us to not sow the beet and carrot seeds too thick After we planted the seeds, Daddy would walk down each row and use a garden hoe and sorta kick the soil, too, with his heavy work shoe to cover the seeds.

It was a time that I remember as back-breaking work, but more importantly, it was a time that now I cherish as special times with my brother and my beloved Daddy.

Do you have a special memory of making a garden?

Of pouring over seed catalogs in the winter. Share your memories with our readers. Please include your name and phone number (We don’t have to print the name if you’d rather be anonymous.

Shrader-Weaver NP is owned and managed by the Indiana Division of Nature Preserves. A Registered Natural Landmark, the property features an 1830s farmhouse and 108 acres of wooded area with two loop trails. The website boasts of the site’s abundance of wildflowers and birds.

After entering the woods and walking about a quarter-mile, the trail splits into two loop trails. John and I continued forward on the Succession Trail. The path meanders through an area that had been a field and is now returning to forest. It’s a little early in the season for wildflowers but Skunk Cabbage was peeking through in the swampy areas near the creek. A shallow, water-filled impression teemed with chorusing frogs. The trail parallels Williams Creek before circling and reuniting with the main artery.

At the junction, John and I turned onto the Woods Trail. The description on the State Passport promised an old-growth maple and beech forest. We were excited to see some big trees. Honestly, we were a bit disappointed. There were some large trees, but not many. It was an “okay” walk but not what we anticipated. We did see a woodpecker and some nuthatches.

Returning to the parking area, we thought we’d check out the homestead. Visitors can walk around the outside of the house. The barns and outbuildings are off-limits.

Would I recommend a trip to Shrader-Weaver Nature Preserve? The preserve is about an hour and a half from Hendricks County. It was okay for a Passport check-in and John and I were going to be on the east side anyway.

I wouldn’t make it a destination. There are bigger trees closer to home. While it’s a little early in the season, McCloud Nature Park is pretty hard to beat when it comes to spring wildflowers.

Interested in taking up the challenge? Participation in the Indiana State Nature Passport program is FREE! Download the app onto a smartphone, sign up and start visiting the over 80 outdoor sites including state parks, park inns, wildlife and recreation areas, and nature preserves throughout Indiana. When you arrive at a site, let your phone’ s location check in. Prizes are awarded after ten check-ins (sunglasses!) Earn a metal water bottle, hat, and backpack at other levels. There’s a grand prize and other drawings throughout the year. For more information, see the website: visitindiana.com It’s one more reason to get out and explore Indiana.

Just An Observation

Friends Meetinghouse at Plainfield. ____________________________________________________

Quakers representing Western Yearly Meeting of Friends and Plainfield Friends Meeting recently approved the Christian Call for Peace endorsed by Friends World Committee on Consultation.

We grieve to see events in Ukraine. Inspired by the many statements by churches on the conflict, the declaration below is a unifying Christian call for peace found below and at fwcc.world.

Hundreds of grassroots Christians around the world have signed the call for peace. Anyone who agrees with its message can endorse it, and share it across national and cultural boundaries, with the aim that it will be heard around the world.

Christian Call for Peace We the undersigned say together with many others to the rulers of Russia that invasion and occupation are the opposite of Christ’s universal call to reconciliation and unity.

Jesus emphasized: ‘You shall not kill.’

We call for an immediate ceasefire, with armed conflict replaced by a peacekeeping dialogue.

Jesus said: ‘Blessed Are the Peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.’ We call for the release of all people imprisoned after calling for peace.

Jesus said: ‘I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing.’

We call for access for humanitarian agencies to support those affected and displaced both within and beyond Ukraine’s borders.

In this spirit we also say to all peoples, and all governments, that every one of us has a duty to save lives, decrease nuclear tensions and address the underlying causes of conflict, wherever it occurs, in order that the long-term foundations of peace can be laid. This is the vocation of the true follower of Christ. _____________________________________________

Toasters and Cast Iron Skillets When I was growing up, the only electric kitchen appliance my mother owned was a hand mixer. I always wondered why we didn’t have a toaster. We had toast at our house, but it was always made in a cast iron skillet. Mom buttered the bread, got the skillet really hot and plopped that bread right in there. The butter was soon melted and the bread was nice and toasted. But other kids had toast made in a toaster and I felt deprived. When I asked my Mom why we didn’t get a toaster, she replied, “We don’t need it.” Years later, I realized she was right!

When I got married, the first thing I wanted was a toaster. I immediately set about making toast and was I disappointed! It couldn’t hold a candle to Mom’s “skillet” toast.

Having gone through several toasters in my lifetime, I have reverted to Mom’s way of making toast in a skillet.

Even when I was an adult, Mom would make skillet toast for me. There was and is nothing better. If you have only had toast made in a toaster, then you really have no idea how good toast can be. The only time I use my toaster is when we have BLT sandwiches. The rest of the time it sets on the counter unused.

There are lots of type of toasters now, designed to toast anything – bagels, frozen waffles, crumpets, and bread.

The prices are all over the map, depending on what that little jewel can do. I once ordered a grilled cheese sandwich in a restaurant. It was two pieces of toast (fixed in a toaster) with a slice of cheese between them! Go figure!

Mom eventually got an electric skillet as a gift, which she used occasionally. But there was nothing like her fried chicken, fried potatoes, cheeseburgers, perfectly fried eggs, potato cakes, gravy or anything else she cooked in that old iron skillet. It was amazing what Mom could do with just a cast iron skillet and a hand mixer!

Just an observation. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Good for the ladies!” Archy greeted me. “Please tell them the Squirrel Salon approved wholeheartedly.”

I returned the greeting in our usual fashion.

“Which ladies and what did they do?”

“Why the Extension Homemakers,” he exclaimed.

“They’re encouraging people to starting up book clubs to gather to read and discuss literature. Reminds me of CeDora Lieuellen’s Read and Talk group in Central Normal College’s heyday. Open to everyone -totally free-form, which is what Oscar admires most. And I’m glad you put it on the front page.”

Once again, the squirrel found his way into The Republican’s office and had checked out the very issue you are holding.

“Happy you like it,” I told him. “But the Homemakers do a lot more. They promote education, have ‘Make a Difference Day’ when they get together and make pillows and blankets for cancer patients. They sponsor the open class contests at the county fair, they promote recycling and food pantries.”

“Admirable, indeed,” he said. “Why don’t they think about becoming a political party? They could raise money with bake sales and not be beholden to special interests.

Imagine what they could get done. I’d vote for them.”

Then I remembered today’s political climate and shuddered.

“Me, too, Archy. Me, too.” ______________________________________________

The Best Gardening Tools For Beginners

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener Buy the best quality tools that your budget will allow.

This list details everything you’ll need to get started.

Sun protection for your skin: lotion, big hat, long sleeves and pants A garden kneeler: pad about 18” long used for comfort and to keep knees dry. Check dollar store.

Pruning Shears: should fit easily in the palm of your hand.

Anvil-style pruners cut with a sharp blade meeting a flat surface. pruners are best for dead wood… will cause crush injuries to fresh, green stems and branches.

Bypass pruners cut with a sharp blade passing by a sharp-edged flat surface, more like scissors are better for live plants and green wood.

Ratcheting pruners provides increased cutting strength, perfect for anyone with reduced hand strength or arthritis.

Gloves: Durable but not too bulky. love the ones with water resistant on bottom and fabric on top to let air in.

I wear fingers out on a couple pairs a year. Longer cuffs protect wrists and forearms. Hint-- I wear latex gloves when planting seeds or transplanting seedlings,-easy to feel the small things. Use Leather for big removal jobs or digging when a lot.

Hand Trowel: Handle should fit comfortably in your hand. Use for transplanting bedding plants, planting containers, and taking out weeds. Spend money on a good trowel forged from stainless steel, or at least with a stainless steel head, are more durable and will last longer.

Buy cheap and yours will bend or break quickly. I learned the hard way! Buy a good one.

Garden Fork: For turning soil, digs into dense soil better than a spade. Straight tines are better for digging; great for compacted clay soil. Square tines are stronger than flat tines Spade: Short-handled square shovels are garden workhorses. They make easy work of digging holes for plants, edging, lifting sod, and moving small mounds of dirt. This tool can be more on the pricey side, but a good spade will last you the rest of your gardening life. I love mine.

Hoe: Veggie garden requires a sturdy, wide hoe, perennial gardens, a thinner hoe. Hoes are useful in preparing beds and cutting down weeds. Look for a handle with a long reach.

A sharp blade works better and is easier to use. Not needed it you have small area.

Good Garden Hose with Adjustable Nozzle-- Allows you to control the water pressure while watering A sticky trap: The glue is coupled with a scented material that attracts the insects away from plants and catches them.

Good luck! It’s fun to see things grow, pick flowers or eat tasty vegetable you grew. Easter, Mother’s and Father’s Day are coming. Ask for a garden tool! *Next week will go into more tools for serious gardener.

I never really cared for gardening, but after planting a few seeds..It grew on me.

The Persisters

Notable Women of Hendricks County Ora Adams didn’t set out to be president of one of the most popular independent colleges in Indiana.

She moved to Danville in 1878 with her husband, Franklin P. Adams, who was a member of the faculty of Central Normal College. The couple came as part of the removal of the college from Ladoga. ORA ADAMS JOSEPH When the school’s founder, William F. Harper, mysteriously disappeared later that year, the faculty asked Franklin Adams to take over the running of the institution.

In the following year, Ora and Franklin experienced the lost of their infant daughter, Nona, who was buried in the cemetery adjacent to the college. Still in mourning for her child, Ora became the “first lady” of Central Normal, working with her husband and being a source of encouragement to the students.

Under their charge, enrollment grew, new faculty hired, and curriculum expanded. Then, on November 25, 1882, Franklin Adams died at the age of 30.

At that time, without a will, a wife was only entitled to one-third of her husband’s estate. As part of the estate, Central Normal would be sold, but faculty members petitioned the court to postpone such a sale and allow Ora Adams to take her husband’s position as president.

With John A. Steele, who had been recruited by Prof.

Adams, serving as vice president, Ora Adam became the college’s president.

A. Kate Huron, one of the CNC faculty since it started at Ladoga, wrote, “There was misgiving in the minds of some of our friends, lest we would not command public confidence if our catalogue went forth with a woman’s name as the head. When those to whom the name was so dear sent letters of thankfulness that there had been so little change made in the names of the faculty, and when through this loyalty, the school was recommend to others

In 2009, because of Ora Adam’s unique roll in education in Indiana, her cottage, built in 1883, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. ______________________________________________ so that there was no decrease in the attendance, then these of our friends who could show appreciation only by predicting failure, became silent and the permanency of the Central Normal College became an acknowledged fact.”

The college continued to grow. In few years, Prof.

Steele became ill with tuberculosis and Ora Adams cared for him in the cottage she had built on a lot her husband had purchased across the street from the college. Steele died there in 1885.

Despite what must have seemed like a string of tragedies, Ora Adams continued to run the college, from recruiting students to expanding the level of education, including a preparatory course in medicine.

In 1889, Ora Adams married James A. Joseph, a onetime student and graduate of Central Normal. Wanting to focus on her remaining daughter, Effie, she turned the presidency over to Charles A. Hargrave and appointed her new husband as the secretary-treasurer. In 1890, James A. Joseph took over as president of Central Normal. Ora Joseph continued to provide guidance and was involved in campus and community activities.

In 1900, the Josephs decided to offer the college for sale. A stock company of 80 local citizens was formed an purchased Central Normal, to be under control of a board of trustees.

The Josephs moved to Kansas City, Missouri. James died in 1918 and Ora died in 1926.

While Ora Adams was happy with her role as wife and mother, she didn’t hesitate to take on the duties of a college president.

A Note From Bee My husband Jim and I were married in 1961 but only had one car until 1970. Now the norm is everybody in the family who has a license has a car. We just couldn’t afford a second car.

We had decided before we got married that we wanted to buy a house rather than rent an apartment. We couldn’t make two payments. It was no problem when I was working. Jim would drop me off at work downtown and then go to his work location at 30th and Boulevard place. At night I would take a bus to 30th street and he would pick me up.

Once we had started having children and I became a stay-at-home mom that’s when it became very inconvenient. We moved to Brownsburg when we first got married and have lived here almost 61 years. At that time my parents lived in Indy and most of our doctors and dentists were in Indy. It did help greatly that my parents lived at 41st and College. For whatever reason we had to go to Indy we would get the kids up early. We would leave their pj’s on because they could change at my parents. We would let Jim off at his work location then to my parents where the kids would change into regular clothes and eat breakfast.

We then headed out to whatever we had to do that day.

We might just spend the day visiting with my parents. If we had an appointment we were usually back by lunch time. After lunch I put the kids down for a nap. If we were lucky. we would pick Jim up at five and head back to Brownsburg. However that didn’t happen very often; Jim had a lot of required overtime and we weren’t able to pick him up til eight or nine. This made for a very long day.

In those days we did a lot of things that were inconvenient because of lack of money. We really didn’t think much about it. Our friends were doing the same things.

Porter Farm Supports Local Farmers, Veterans

Army Veteran Steve Gaddis is the current resident at Porter Farm and works alongside Sara Creech of Blue Yonder Organic Farm. _______________________________________________________________________________

(This is the final article in a series about the The Hendricks County Soil & Water Conservation District and efforts to help Veteran farmers.

By Melissa Gibson

When Harold and Esther Porter, a veteran and teacher passed away, they left their property west of Danville in the hands of another county landowner.

Along with Sarah Creech of Blue Yonder Organic Farm in North Salem and the Hendricks County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), a new purpose was initiated for the property.

“We talked about this being a great site for a veteran tenant to live there and get their feet wet in the farming industry. We could also make it a full demon-

stration farm with quarterly workshops every year,” said Bree Ollier, Hendricks County Natural Resource Conservationist.

Veteran Steve Gaddis is the first resident of Porter Farm, through the Veteran Coalition Program, founded by Creech.

He joined the Army in 1994 and spent three years stationed in Kuwait and other bases in the U.S. Coming from a long line of military veterans, Gaddis joined out of a sense of civic duty but when he returned home, it took awhile to find the right path for him.

“I didn’t have near the combat experience others have had, so I wasn’t reeling from PTSD and other traumatic issues from the military. There are combat stresses and military stresses and those are two differ-

Gaddis, Creech and the staff at the SWCD have worked to make Porter Farm a full demonstration farm.

ent things,” Gaddis said. “I was really just trying to find myself. You come home and don’t know what to do next.”

He eventually went back into the work force and met Creech, began working at her farm and formed a working relationship and friendship.

With the culmination of Porter Farm, Creech’s Veterans Coalition and the funds granted through SWCD, Gaddis was an integral part of getting Porter Farm up and running.

No stranger to farm life, Gaddis had been collecting and bottling maple syrup with his father since 2004 out on their family farm in Turkey Run. Inspired by what Creech was doing, he ramped up his syrup business to what he calls, a small-scale commercial operation.

“I just kind of fell in love with her idea and what she was doing and we ended up partnering in caring for livestock and growing produce along with the maple syrup,” Gaddis said.

The team installed fencing, rotational grazing space, water lines and a high tunnel. A large garden and small orchard have been planted along with beehives and a pollinator garden as well.

Veteran tenants have the opportunity to rent the Porter home for three years,

allowing them to test their interest in farming and learn more about the skills and passion needed.

Meanwhile, SWCD holds their conservation workshops, educational opportunities and community events at Porter with the perfect examples of many practices at their fingertips – right on the property at Porter Farm.

“I do spring and fall flowers at the roadside,” Gaddis said. “We plant carrots, sweet corn, tomatoes, green onions, radishes and more in the garden and Sara will probably bring her sheep here in early summer. I’ll care for them and do the rotational grazing. In the fall, she may bring her cows over as well.”

The team is tripling the number of raised beds this spring to 18 total and have planted blackberries and raspberries.

“The idea is to figure out your niche in the farm market area,” Gaddis said.

“You have to have experience before you can receive loans for infrastructure; find out now if this is something you want to do. I think a lot of people think it sounds fun, but it’s a huge amount of work and you really have to have a passion for it.”

Three years on the farm gives veterans enough time

In the spring, a roadside stand is available at Porter Farm, including vegetables from Creech’s farm and flowers. ____________________________________________________

to show their interest, experience and that they have what it takes to make a living in the industry.

Along the way, the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) through the USDA and the SWCD has been able to supply grants for building infrastructure, such as the hoop house Gaddis uses to prolong growth time and the fencing necessary to keep farm animals on the property.

“They’ve been really involved and really charitable. The NRCS is investing in the property and are a huge player in making this a successful place,” Gaddis said. “It’s a great opportunity and a nice piece of property. It’s small enough to be maintainable and it’s working. It wasn’t until I

met Sara that I realized this is really what I want to do.”

Pock Park: a new addition to Washington Township Parks Department

By: Olivia O’Neal The Bob and Grace Pock Park is a small wooded hiking area located in Pecar Park and is a relatively new addition to the Washington Township Parks Department.

If you follow 150 North in Avon, you’ll arrive at Pecar Park which includes a nature center, playground, outdoor classroom, camping spaces, and a lake for its visitors. The addition of Pock Woods, which can be found by following the campground road at the front by the Pecar nature center, allows for easy hiking trails that showcase the natural wooded beauty of Indiana.

At the end of Pock Park’s three trails (Pock Pass, Morel March, and Creeping Cricket), is an 1800s log cabin allegedly from the Civil War (the

cabin is currently unavailable to enter but the outside may be explored).

The woods are full of luscious and mostly new growth with young trees and a small creek that runs through the center. The trails are wide and clear, no narrow areas. And each trail is marked with color-coded spray-painted trees throughout the woods (the trails intersect often but almost every intersection has a sign showing which trail goes which way). Because of this, all the trails are easy to navigate. It is important

to make sure you keep an eye out for no-trespassing signs as much of the trails are next to private property.

If you’re looking for challenging and lengthy backpacking trails, then you won’t find them in Pock Woods. But the small size and mild trails makes this area perfect for introducing young children to hiking as well as elderly people who prefer nice short strolls through the woods.

Pock Park has the same hours as Pecar Park: 10am6pm Monday-Friday. __________

Senior Services Volunteers Give More than Time

Sally and Shirley weighing in food pantry donations received for HCSS’s senior-friendly food pantry. ___________________________________________________

By: Marina Keers, Executive Director Hendricks County Senior Services “Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve.

You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.

You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

– Martin Luther King, Jr. April kicks of national Volunteer Appreciation Month and a celebration of all that volunteers do in our community and for the seniors of Hendricks County. We could not accomplish our mission without the time, care, passion, and energy of so many volunteers.

Volunteers at Hendricks County Senior Services give more than time. They give their expertise as members of the board of directors and technology coaches. They share their talents as art and crafting instructors, singers, and band members. They give their compassion as support group leaders. They offer their energy as food pantry volunteers, group exercise leaders, and librarians. Without their commitment, we wouldn’t have a lunch program or Medicare Counseling. They give their kindness as receptionists, greeters, and friendly callers.

Last year, Hendricks County Senior Services relied on dozens of regular volunteers to give thousands of hours of time for seniors in our community. The value of their dedication cannot be overstated. Thank you for your service on behalf of others.

Volunteer opportunities are available at Hendricks County Senior Services. Details are available at www. hcseniors.org or by calling 317-745-4303 and asking for Becky Brownfield. The greatest need at this time are for “receptionist” volunteers to help answer phones, greet guests, and assist with administrative tasks.

Conversation with the Candidates As part of our coverage of the Primary Election, we will be featuring Conversations with the Candidates.

Our first entry features Greg Irby and Dennis Wynn, both running for the Republican nomination for Danville Town Council, Ward 1. They were intervied separately and their answers presented sideby-side.

GREG IRBY

Why are you running for a Town Council seat?

Greg Irby: We have a house here, two businesses here and my family is here for the long run. I want the best for this town for the next 30 years. I’ve got the qualifications based on my law experience and assisting other local governments with legal services. I have been going to the meetings ever since I moved here. I won’t have much of a learning curve. I will be able to hit the ground running.

Dennis Wynn: Because this is the greatest place to live. I love this town. I would say in the long run of the town, and this is not negative toward the council, there isn’t a lot of experience. I have 20 years’ experience being on various boards of this town.

12 years as a councilman.

I feel that it needs someone on there with experience that can help to guide them and to help them with how things were done in the past and what was successful in the past. My father brought us up with a quote, “Those who don’t remember the past are condemned to repeat it”.

What do you want to accomplish in your term or first year?

Greg Irby: An answer I hate hearing is that I am not going to do anything my first year so I can get my feet wet. First year the traffic needs to be addressed. I would hope in my first term that options have been aggressively pursued and hopefully a solution.

I would also like to look at consolidating the Town with Center Township. Currently the town is considering being a part of a Fire Territory. If that goes forward, the Township budget would be left with basically taking care of poor relief and maintaining cemeteries.

Another initiative is to look into finding a creative solution to pay our safety officers more.

Dennis Wynn: The first thing is prepared growth. All of these subdivisions are coming in virtually at one time. It’s going to change the face of our town forever. We as a community needs to embrace this and prepare for it.

I want more community involvement.

Have one or two leaders in each subdivision or each area of town, not elected, all agreed by the council, invite them to come to the meetings to share with their community.

We need a TV channel. Partner with the school. If we can get a channel on Comcast that is dedicated to our sporting events and town news. We can work with students or maybe retired people would want to do it.

If elected, I want to be available one day a week at town hall during town hall hours, where if someone has issues and they don’t like the responses they are getting from town hall, or they want to talk about what’s good they can stop in. Complete transparency.

In the last 2 years the Town of Danville has approved over 2000 residential units in the Town. What do you think the Town needs to do to accommodate this new growth?

Greg Irby: Address the traffic immediately. I think we need to attack this more aggressively. I want to be annoying about this. We know it’s a problem and it needs to be attacked.

Dennis Wynn: We are going to double our population in five years. If I’m elected, I would want to look at how we could phase them in a little bit at a time. Prepared growth.

Do you feel the police department is adequately protecting the Town of Danville? Are there are any changes you would support?

Greg Irby: I think we are very well covered with police protection. I think they are underpaid and I have told them that. The police currently have 5 or 6 pool cars available. Could we get away with only one or two pool cars if it resulted in a $5,000 increase in salary. They need to be paid more and we need to look for creative solutions to do that. Equipment is good but that is one thing I would spend money on if needed.

Dennis Wynn: The biggest thing is that we need more police officers. Some nights we are out here with only one officer on duty. Our community deserves better. Our

DENNIS WYNN

officers are probably the lowest paid in the county. We are about to grow and what comes with growth, people from Indianapolis where crime comes from.

Do you feel the fire department is adequately staffed and equipped? Are there any changes you would support?

Greg Irby: I think that we have an excellent department head. I hear that we are understaffed from the head of the department. We will need another fire house on the west side of town with the growth that is coming on that side of town.

Dennis Wynn: We need more firefighters before we double our population.

Regarding salaries, this is a sticking point where I feel we need grants to help with salaries because our fire dept is used as a training ground. It’s a revolving door because their salaries are low.

Are you aware of the ongoing discussions regarding the creation of a Fire Territory for the Town, Marion and Center Townships? What is your position on this topic?

Greg Irby: I think that we have an excellent department head. I hear that we are understaffed from the head of the department. We will need another fire house on the west side of town with the growth that is coming on that side of town.

Dennis Wynn: I am. I would like to do more research. There’s good and bad. I know the fire chief is for it and I’ve never questioned the fire chief before.

The failed referendum for Danville schools exposed a shortfall of property taxes to fund our schools properly. Would you support incentives to encourage businesses to locate here?

Greg Irby: We need more commercial development. Right now, the majority of the town and school’s tax burden is being born by the residents. I would support looking at tax abatements and the creation of TIF Districts as long as they don’t have a negative impact on our school’s income.

I also think we need to do something with the airport. I believe the airport area is an important area for economic activity.

Dennis Wynn: I’d like to focus immediately on going to those businesses that are in Plainfield and Brownsburg and even Clayton. I’m willing to use my frequent flyer miles, my points, my own money and go out with Kelly DiBenedetto and go out to these conventions and ask, “why not Danville?” We need to go hustle that business.

The airport is another opportunity. Let’s put bigger hangers. Let’s work with the Airport Authority. Let’s get businesses by the airport. I would love to see a hotel.

Is there anything you would like to see for the downtown area? Do you support the efforts of the Downtown Danville Partnership?

Greg Irby: I love our downtown.

It’s the best part about our town. I tell my friends that we have the best of both worlds. We are a small town in Indiana with all the small-town vibe but we are five minutes away from everything we need in Avon. The tree lighting during Christmas on the Square is one of the best things I’ve been to. The entire town comes to it and that’s important.

Dennis Wynn: The heart of our community is the downtown. I know Marcia has tried; Kelly has tried but we need to get downtown full. If you look at old pictures you would see a vibrant downtown.

Last Word: Greg Irby: I want to make sure we are not relying on the Host Fund for too many things. That money is going to run out eventually folks and we are just spending it on regular expenses. One day that Host money will be gone. It will end when the landfill reaches its capacity and we need to protect it. It’s for town beautification and quality of life it’s not for everyday spending.

Dennis Wynn: I want us to come together and accept the growth that is coming. I’ve learned in the business world that you either lead, follow or get out of the way. I’m not getting out of the way and I’m not much of a follower. Follow me. There are ideas, there’s things we can do to prepare.

Loan Medical Equipment

Hendricks County Senior Services maintains a limited supply of medical equipment available for loan for residents of Hendricks County as part of the Danville Rotary Club Foundations, Inc’s Durable Medical Equipment Loan program.

Equipment is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is no charge for borrowing the equipment. Donations are graciously accepted to help offset the cost of maintaining the equipment. Call the Senior Center for more information at 317-745-4303. __________

The following information is supplied by Shawn M. Shelley, Hendricks County Treasurer.

The pay 2022 property taxes will begin mailing Tuesday March 29, 2022. To save tax dollars, both the Spring and Fall coupons are mailed in the same envelope. You will not receive a second statement for the Fall coupon in the mail.

This is a reminder the tax statements have a new format. The new form no longer has the “Tax ID” number.

Instead, please use the “Duplicate” number found at the top of your statement when referencing your parcel for payment.

If you own property in more than one county, please make sure you pay the correct county by checking the top left portion of your coupon when submitting payment, to avoid delaying payment to the correct county.

For convenience you will find a “Total Due” has been added to the “Taxpayer’s Copy” for those wanting to pay for both installments.

If your mortgage company pays your tax you will see a watermark across the statement stating “INFORMATIONAL”. If you do not see this and your property tax is paid by your mortgage company, you will want to forward the tax statement to them immediately.

There is often a lot of confusion when a property is sold about who is responsible for the property taxes. This is an agreement made between the buyer and seller, and the Treasurer is not a party to nor has knowledge of your agreement. If you have questions or concerns regarding the responsibility of your taxes we suggest contacting the title company where you had your closing or realtor.

Operating hours for conducting business in the Treasurer’s office are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 pm.

We will have extended hours on the due date, Tuesday May 10th from 8 a.m.–6 p.m.

Payment may also be made at the following Hendricks County banks: First Merchants Bank, First National, Hendricks County Bank and Trust, North Salem State Bank and State Bank (formerly known as State Bank of Lizton). Payments are not posted until they are received by the Hendricks County Treasurer. You must present your current tax statement coupon at the bank along with your payment. The bank is unable to accept any prior years’ tax payments. Please come in or call the office to obtain the correct amount of a past due payment.

If mailing your tax payment remember that it is considered on time if postmarked by the US Postal Service on or before May 10, 2022. If there is any question about whether a payment will have a timely postmark, we encourage you to obtain a certificate of mailing from the post office.

WE NO LONGER HAVE A P.O. BOX NUMBER. Payments should be mailed directly to the Hendricks County Treasurer, 355 South Washington Street, #240, Danville, IN 46122.

For electronic payment options, please go to www. co.hendricks.in.us. The county is prohibited by law to pay the credit card fees. Therefore, they will be added to your purchase if you choose to use that option.

Our night deposit box is located on the south side of the Government Center in Danville by the south entrance doors. Payments may be deposited in this box at any time prior to midnight on May 10, 2022 and will be considered on time. Please enclose your payment and bill coupon in an envelope when using the night deposit box.

For questions about the payment of your taxes, please call the Treasurer’s Office at 317-745-9220 or email the Treasurer’s Office at treasurerdept@co.hendricks.in.us ______________________________________________

Volunteer for SHIP

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

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

“Our SHIP counselors provide free impartial information to assist consumers in making decisions regarding their Medicare choices and questions” states Deanne Sanders-Below, coordinator of In-Home Services at Hendricks County Senior Services. “Ship is not affiliated with any insurance company or agency and does not sell insurance. They are staffed by a crew of volunteer counselors who have completed intensive training to offer objective assistance in complete confidence,” states Below.

SHIP is driven by volunteers who are committed to helping people with Medicare determine the best healthcare choices for their individual situations and to be good consumers of Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, Part D Drug Coverage, Long Term Care Financing and Low-Income Assistance Programs.

To become a SHIP counselor, you must complete a 30hour training, either virtually or in-person; complete volunteer shadowing, additional training in the spring and fall and have a desire to help Medicare Beneficiaries in your community.

If you are interested in an important and rewarding volunteer opportunity, please contact Staci Market at 317910-2306 or staci@hcseniors.org ______________________________________________

As an alternative to PARITY®, bidders may submit a sealed bid or e-mail the bid electronically to the Corporation’s municipal advisor at the address described above until the time and on the date identified in the notice given by, or on behalf of the Corporation, twenty-four hours prior to the sale of the Bonds. Upon completion of the bidding procedures described herein, the results of the sealed, non-electronic bids received shall be compared to the electronic bids received by the Corporation. If a potential bidder has questions related to the Mill Creek Community School Corporation (the “School Corporation”), the financing or submission of bids, questions should be submitted by email to the addresses above no later than 11:00 a.m. (Indianapolis Time) on April 11, 2022. To the best of the School Corporation’s ability, all questions will be addressed by or on behalf of the School Corporation and sent to potential bidders, including any bidders requesting 24 hours’ notice of sale, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Indianapolis Time) on April 11, 2022. 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 Corporation reserves the right to adjust the maturity schedule following the sale in order to accomplish the Corporation’s financial objectives by reallocating debt service based upon the rates bid by the successful bidder (the “Purchaser”).

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

A bid may designate that a given maturity or maturities shall constitute a term bond, and the semi-annual amounts set forth in the schedule provided prior to the sale shall constitute the mandatory sinking fund redemption requirements for such term bond or bonds. For purposes of computing true interest cost, the mandatory redemption amounts shall be treated as maturing on the dates set forth in the schedule provided prior to the sale.

In the case of any redemption, 30 days’ notice will be given by mail to the registered owners of the Bonds to be redeemed, and accrued interest will be paid to the date fixed for redemption. Interest on the Bonds so called for redemption will cease on the redemption date fixed in said notice if funds are available at the place of redemption to redeem the Bonds so called on the date fixed in said notice, or thereafter when presented for payment.

Each bid must be for all of the Bonds and must state the rate of interest which each maturity of the Bonds is to bear, stated in multiples of 1/8th or 1/100th of 1%. The maximum interest rate on the Bonds shall not exceed 5.00% per annum. All Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same rate. Bids shall set out the total amount of interest payable over the term of the Bonds and the true interest cost on the Bonds covered by the bid. No bid for less than 100.00% of the face value of the Bonds will be considered. The Bonds will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder who has submitted a bid in accordance herewith. The winning bidder will be the one who offers the lowest true interest cost to the Corporation. The true interest cost rate is that rate which, when used to compute the total present value as of the date of delivery of the Bonds of all debt service payments on the Bonds on the basis of semiannual compounding, produces an amount equal to the sum of the par value of the Bonds minus any premium bid plus any discount. In the event of a bidder’s error in interest cost rate calculations, the interest rates and premium, if any, set forth or incorporated by reference in the official bid form will be considered as the intended bid. 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 total interest cost to the Corporation 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, wire transfer or certified or cashier’s check in the amount of 1% of the par amount of the Bonds, payable to the order of the Corporation is required to be submitted by the 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 Corporation 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 its accepted bid, the Deposit will be retained by the Corporation 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 School Corporation and the Purchaser. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within 45 days after the date of sale. If the Corporation 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 Corporation. 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, at the time of delivery of the Bonds to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will be required to certify to the Corporation 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 Corporation in establishing the issue price of the Bonds under the terms outlined therein and shall execute and deliver to the Corporation 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 Corporation and Ice Miller LLP (“Bond Counsel”).

Bidders must comply with the rules of PARITY® in addition to requirements of this Notice. To the extent there is a conflict between the rules of PARITY® 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 successful bidder therefor 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 Corporation 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 Corporation; 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 approving opinion of Bond Counsel, together with a transcript of the proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds and closing papers in the usual form showing no litigation questioning the validity of the Bonds, will be furnished to the Purchaser at the expense of the Corporation.

The Corporation was organized for the purpose of constructing and renovating school buildings and leasing such buildings to the School Corporation. All action has been taken and the Bonds are issued in compliance with the provisions of I.C. 20-47-3 (the “Act”). The Bonds will be secured by a Trust Indenture (the “Indenture”) between the Corporation and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and will be subject to the terms and provisions of the Indenture. The Corporation will certify as to facts to support the conclusion that the Bonds do not constitute private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof (the “Code”). The Bonds have been designated as qualified tax-exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.

The property to be covered by the Indenture has been leased for a period of 12 years to the School Corporation. The Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) provides for annual payments in the amount of $2,000,000, plus the payment of all taxes and assessments, which annual rental is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 in each year, commencing with the completion of the construction or June 30, 2023, whichever is later.

After the sale of all Bonds issued by the Corporation to pay for the cost of renovation, including the acquisition of the sites thereof and other expenses incidental thereto, the annual rental shall be reduced to an amount equal to the multiple of $1,000 next highest to the highest sum of principal and interest due on such Bonds in each twelve month period ending on January 15 plus $5,000, payable in equal semiannual installments. All bidders shall be deemed to be advised as to the provisions of the above-mentioned Indenture and Lease and the provisions of the Act. The Bonds constitute an indebtedness only of the Corporation, payable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Bonds constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Corporation and are payable from Lease rental payments to be received from the School Corporation, which Lease rental payments are payable from ad valorem taxes to be collected on the taxable property within the School Corporation; however, the School Corporation’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 School Corporation 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.

In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under the existing federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings, the interest on the Bonds is exempt from all income taxation in Indiana. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under the existing federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings, the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.

The Corporation has prepared a Preliminary Official Statement (the “Preliminary Official Statement”) relating to the Bonds which it has deemed to be nearly final. A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement may be obtained from the Corporation’s municipal advisor, Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687. Within seven (7) business days of the sale, the Corporation will provide the successful bidder with sufficient copies of the Final Official Statement (the “Final Official Statement”) at the Corporation’s expense in order for such bidder to comply with Section (b)(4) of the SEC Rule 15c2-12 and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.

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, the School Corporation agrees to enter into a third supplement and second amendment to its master 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 School Corporation 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 Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687, municipal advisor to the School Corporation; Charles Hostetter, Hostetter & Associates, 515 North Green Street, Suite 200, Brownsburg, Indiana 46112, attorney for the School Corporation; or Jim Diagostino, Superintendent of the School Corporation, 6631 South CR 200 W, Clayton, Indiana 46118. If bids are submitted by mail, they should be addressed to the Corporation, attention of Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687 Dated this 31st day of March, 2022. /s/ Secretary, Board of Directors Mill Creek Community Schools Building Corporation
