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: North Salem, like every Hendricks County town, has endured calamity and sensation in its history.

In one of the town’s saddest tragedies, three 16-year-old girls made a fatal mistake on a cold January 1856 night and suffocated in bed after bringing a pot of burning charcoal to warm their sleeping chamber.

Come the morning they were discovered dead from asphyxiation. Christena Fleece of North Salem and Nancy Hunt were buried together at Fleece Cemetery. Catharine Ashby was buried in Montgomery County.

Their deaths, widely reported, “cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood.”

Among those mortally injured by the Sinker portable sawmill explosion at the 1869 State Fair was North Salem sawmill engineer William Pierson, who was “dangerously” scalded. He underwent treatment at the National Surgical Institute in Indianapolis and was sent to the home of friends, but took a sudden turn and died.

The explosion killed at least 30 – some never identified – and injured 50. The papers spared readers nothing in describing the carnage and mutilation at Morton Place, site of the fair back then. “Heads, arms and legs were found . . . several hundred feet away.”

William Lockhart of North Salem, 26, was House Doorkeeper at the Capitol when he contracted smallpox in February 1873 following a visit to the state’s Southern Penitentiary. He was immediately “removed to the Pest House” and soon died.

A senior at Northwestern Christian University (eventually Butler University), Lockhart planned a career in the ministry. A spire marks his final site at North Salem’s Fairview. An inscription says he’d served three years in Company H, 7th Indiana Infantry.

“A verdant youth,” North Salem’s Bufe Slusher thought he’d earn money driving folks at 10 cents a ride back and forth during the 1873 Indiana State Fair & Exposition. The innocent, waiting for his first fare, blocked the street, causing quite a stir. Finally, a policeman hopped in Bufe’s hack and told him to drive to the station house on Alabama Street.

Arriving, Bufe learned his fare had arrested him. He paid his bail, then demanded 10 cents, which was declined. Bufe resolved to secure payment in advance from “all fellows with brass buttons on their coats.”

A North Salem-area farmer named Sheets was shot and seriously wounded while working in his fields in September 1880, most likely for his role in “ferreting out a band of thieves who have been the terror of that neighborhood for more than a year past.”

A man sought for larceny in July 1884 at North Salem fled and a deputy accidentally shot him in the leg, intending just to scare him. Jailed, the man suffered “intense agony” from lockjaw, and a doctor gave him only a slight chance to recover.

The Saturday night “North Salem Riot” in October 1899 was started by “members of a Tennessee colony” who had only recently arrived in town. In a “desperate street fight,” Tennessean William “Shade” Mackey, who had “tried to run the town to suit himself,” was “quieted with a bullet through the head.” Druggist’s clerk William Ragan was expected to expire (but he didn’t), and many were injured.

Mackey, a farmhand, had claimed two murders back home.

Trouble had been “brewing” for some time, and the melee began when some of the Tennesseans, heavily armed, went looking for mischief in the store. Attempting to “quell the disturbance,” Ragan found himself being trampled and beaten, perhaps to death. He managed to pull two revolvers and started shooting.

Another account holds that Ragan, “noted for his fighting proclivities,” was called out and waved two large revolvers over his head. Days earlier, the local Murphy boys had challenged the Southerners to a duel.

Everyone drew their weapons and the battle began. “Women fainted” and men without guns looked for cover. More than 25 shots were fired.

In the aftermath, “the town is quiet, but the Tennesseans are vowing vengeance and the citizens are arming and organizing for an attack.”

Ragan, “a gambler and well known to the talent in Crawfordsville,” was charged with murder. It was the first murder trial since the notorious 1895 Hinshaw case in Belleville.

In April 1901, Ragan was “released from further annoyance by the State,” after two hung jury trials in Danville.

Avon: Last Saturday morning the thermometer marked 25 above zero, and before ten o’clock, and before all the frost was gone, two enterprising sons of Lon Parson’s started to barefoot to the postoffice.

Plainfield Centenarian with a Passion for Education

Reba Hadley’s photo from the first year she taught in a oneroom school is display along with book of Mother Goose nursery rhymes and the school bell she used to call the children to class.

March 30, 2021 Interview by Kerry Anderson This year on May 27th, Reba Hadley will be celebrating her 103rd birthday. She was born in 1918 and has been witness to the birth of vehicles, computers and many other major world changes throughout her life. When asked how she has lived so long, she says, “I don’t drink, I don’t Reba Hadley on her 100th smoke and I talk to God evbirthday. ery day.”

Reba grew up on a farm in Reelsville, Indiana and had one sister, Erma who was two years older than she. Erma lived to the age of 95. Their family had pigs, cows and chickens. They didn’t have a lot, but they were happy and never went hungry. On Sundays after church, they would have friends over and play croquet all afternoon. The piano, saxophone and violin as well as other instruments around the house made for lovely afternoons full of music.

Once a week, her family drove their horse and buggy from Reelsville to Brazil, Indiana to buy steak.

Upon arrival home, they dropped it down into the well to keep it cold. “It was primitive times,” Carolyn said.

She graduated high school at 16 and went to Indiana Normal College in Terre Haute, which was Reba (right) and her sister, the teacher’s college at the Erma. time. At age 18, she finished college and began her job as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in Putnam County at a township school out in the country. Beyond her normal instructional duties for all the 1st to 8th grade students, Reba also had to keep up with housekeeping chores, such as carrying water into the building every day, as well as wood for the stove.

“It was a big job, but I love children, so I got it done,” Reba said.

That same year, she went on a double date and ended up liking the boy, Elmer Hadley, who her friend was paired up with more than her own date. Sure enough, Elmer asked Reba out, and they got married soon after.

“I guess it was love at first sight,” Carolyn said.

Reba’s family joined her in the celebration of Reba’s100th birthday in 2019. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There was one problem: teachers at the time weren’t allowed to teach once married. For that reason, Reba and Elmer eloped and didn’t tell anyone they had gotten married until her teaching contract ended that year. She hated having to step away from the classroom, but didn’t have much of a choice.

Reba and Elmer Hadley in Though Reba taught 1965. hundreds, if not thousands, of children throughout her career, she only had one biological child, Carolyn. She would crochet and sew and make Carolyn little dresses when she was a young girl.

Once Carolyn was ten, Reba went back to teaching in Terre Haute in the Vigo County School System. The year was 1950, and she had 52 first graders with no teaching assistant.

Furthermore, there were no duplicating machines at the time, so Reba spent many hours using a hectograph to produce all her classroom materials.

“She was a very innovative person,” Caroyln said about Reba, “and still to this day, her old first grade students [who are now adults] come to visit her.”

After decades as a classroom teacher, Reba moved on to become a Reading Consultant, which involved her going from school to school to assist in best practices with the education of literacy.

Reba and Elmer were married for 50 years until he passed away. As a widow, Reba spent time playing cards at the senior center on Friday nights. She has always loved playing cards and games- Euchre, Pinochle and Scrabble especially.

“She can beat anyone at Scrabble, even still today,” Carolyn said.

The senior center was where Reba met Jim Morley, who had also lost his spouse of 50 years. At the age of 75, the couple married. Reba finally retired from teaching at this time, as the newlyweds went to Texas for the winters.

Grants Awarded for Summer Remedial Programs

Two local school corporations will receive funds for summer remedial learning programs through a grant initiative by Duke Energy.

The Duke Energy Foundation has awarded $311,246 in grants to 22 different K-12 education programs in 15 Indiana counties for 2021. The grants support summer reading programs, energy, engineering and environmental education programs, and programs that support under-represented, low-income or diverse audiences.

“We all know many students missed out on several learning opportunities last year,” said Stan Pinegar, Duke Energy state president for Indiana. “I am proud that we are able to offer these grants to students in communities throughout our service territory with the hope of helping those students catch up, restore their passion for learning and encourage them to meet and exceed their educational goals.”

The Foundation makes these grants available through the company’s “Powerful Communities” program, which helps power the lives of customers and the vitality of communities through charitable giving.

In Hendricks County, the following grants were awarded: ▪ Danville Community School Corporation - “Warrior Whiz” summer educational remediation program, $11,506 ▪ Plainfield Community Schools - Summer reading camp to improve reading and math skills, $10,000 ▪ The Imagination Lab (Plainfield Community Schools) - One-day intensive summer Odyssey for Plainfield elementary students, $10,000. ______________________________________________

“I honestly think, if she hadn’t gotten married again, she probably would have taught even longer,” Carolyn said, “she was a ball of fire.”

Jim and Reba were married for five years, until he passed away. After that, Reba started going to Bonita Springs, Florida with Reba and her second husCarolyn and her husband band, Jim Morley.

Ron for the winters.

“She always tried to eat healthy,” Carolyn said, “When we were in Florida, I remember her wanting the different food groups, which were made up of different colors, on her plate and she would arrange them and say, ‘Doesn’t this look pretty’?”

In Florida, Reba’s family bought her a three-wheeled bike which she rode all around their community. She had never been able to ride a bike so this was great fun for her and her friends. Carolyn said one day she looked up to see Reba and a friend riding down the street with their feet on the handle bars, just having a great time. Reba spent 16 winters in Florida with Carolyn’s family.

After growing up with a horse and buggy as her family’s main means of transportation, her first car was a Model T Ford. She drove until the age of 98. Her last car was a Buick.

While cars definitely made an impact on changes, so did many other inventions, such as technology.

“It’s a whole new world,” Reba said, “some things make it better, and some make it worse. One thing that’s better is that you don’t have to walk to school in the cold anymore.

Something that makes it worse is that life is moving too fast. You don’t have time to stop and enjoy the good things in life.”

Reba has two grandsons and four great grandchildren.

She currently lives in Plainfield with Carolyn and Ron. Reba said, “I enjoy life, I have a good family, I don’t have any worries and I still have a good life.”

useful tips for homeowners

Start Thinking AC

April is here and warm weather is around the corner.

As things start to heat up, it is time to think about that air conditioner (AC).

It is strongly recommended you have your air conditioner equipment serviced each year before the demands of the Indiana hot humid summer arrives. Equipment should not be tested until the outside temperature is above 60 degrees for three days. This means the best time to have your spring tune-up is between the middle of April through May. Besides regular service we should be changing the filters, keep debris and growth away from the outside unit and maintain the insulation around the refrigerant lines between the outside unit and the inside unit. The average life of an air conditioner with no maintenance is 10 to 15 years, with regular maintenance that life expectancy can be extended to 20 to 25 years.

This brings us to the issue of R-22 freon. If your AC equipment was manufactured before 2010, there is a good chance R-22 freon was used as the coolant. The 1987 Montreal Protocol was signed by the United States promising to phase out the use of R-22 because of the Ozone-depleting affects. In 2010 the manufacturing of equipment using R-22 was banned and then on January 1, 2020 the production of R-22 was banned. This resulted in the on-hand inventory of R-22 became valuable and expensive if needed for repairing old equipment. To have R-22 installed into your unit during a repair could cost you $300 to $600 easily. That does not include the cost of the service time and repairs needed. Most times the service company will strongly recommend totally replacing your furnace and air conditioner to avoid overpaying for repairs only to be left with outdated equipment.

Along with changing the furnace filter to help lower the expense of cooling our homes, a programmable thermostat helps systematically adjusting the settings at times of the day when you are away. The other thing you can do, not part of a traditional service call, is check your ducts for leaks or poorly insulated areas. Return ducts in a hot attic can raise the temperature of the air going back through the system, making your equipment work harder.

The goal is to stay comfortable while spending the fewest dollars possible. Make that call to schedule your spring checkup now to be able to enjoy those hazy lazy days of summer. _____________________________________________

A Note From Bee Noel Gatlin’s description of his first home and furnishings brought back memories of our first home. Like Noel, we had very few new things to start housekeeping but we didn’t care. We were just happy to be able to buy a house rather than rent. This was 1961 and the house was $11,000.

We easily found a used stove and refrigerator but had to go to a laundermat to do our washing. A friend at work knew our situation. So when her sister-in-law decided to sell her reconditioned washer and dryer for $50, she told me. We were thrilled to have a chance to buy them. They lasted for about five years. We worked them hard because we had two babies in cloth diapers during that time. At some point the washer developed a dead spot in the motor and we would have to get behind the washer and pull a belt to get it past the dead spot. We never had any trouble with the gas dryer.

When it came time to move we had to buy new appliances because the new house did not have gas and we couldn’t get behind the washer. As soon as the new appliances were delivered my husband installed them. He had no sooner installed them and the installer from Sears called and said he was on his way out to install them. What? install them! Since we had never had a new appliance we did not know we got free installation and the salesman must have just assumed we knew. The installer said he still had to come out. He complimented my husband on what a good job he did.

Letters To The Editor To the Editor: Standard deductions for Federal and State income taxes need to be increased SUBSTANTIALLY as well as it’s cost of living, inflation increase. Why do lower and middle income taxpayers pay more in Indiana State taxes than USA federal taxes?

I paid $381 more in Indiana income tax in 2018, $448 more in 2019 and $487 more in 2020 than I did in Federal tax because primarily the standard deduction is $2500 for my state which is not adjusted for inflation and $13600 for federal in 2018, $13850 in 2019 and $14050 in 2020 which is adjusted for inflation each year; but, at a substandard rate. The Hendricks County tax rate was increased 3.3% for 2019 and 9.6% for 2020 that added to this increase. In addition we pay a Indiana sales tax of 7% to 9%, wheel taxes, property taxes, license taxes, gasoline taxes, gaming taxes, excise taxes, etc. Contact your IN Governor Eric Holcomb 317-232-4567, IN Senator 317-232-9400 and your IN State Representative 317-232-9600.

Why We Need More Green Arrows Why We Need Less Green Arrows Burnett Woods in Avon is just one of the properties managed by the Central Indiana Land Trust. The grandkids enjoyed exploring the woods last April. If it’s been wet, come prepared with muck boots.

Are you looking for someplace to explore that you don’t have to share with a hoard of other walkers, bicyclers, or skateboarders?

Check out ConservingIndiana.org . The website connects with the Central Indiana Land Trust and the resources the organization is responsible for protecting.

The CILT currently protects 20 land tracts in central Indiana. Twelve of the locations are open to the public for walking (four-legged friends are welcome if leashed), birdwatching, photography, and just soaking in nature.

Of those open to the public, three properties are in or very near Hendricks County. Burnett Woods Nature Preserve is located on East CR 100 South in Avon. Wallace F. Holladay Preserve at Ameriplex is just over the county line in Marion County northeast of Sodalis Nature Park and Hemlock Ridge is in Putnam County southwest of North Salem.

The CILT website profiles the properties complete with a description, map and directions, parking instructions, and tips for exploring. Most of the tracts do not have trails and folks are free to roam and enjoy. Make sure to read the prohibited activities. These lands are protected and that means NO removing rocks, picking flowers, berries, nuts, or mushrooms. The group’s site also publishes a weekly newsletter.

Central Indiana Land Trust is currently promoting a “Trek Our Trails” challenge. To enter the challenge, participants visit the five required preserves and take a selfie in front of each preserve’s sign. Post the photo on social media (details are available on the website) and after all five sites are visited, everyone in the photos will receive a pin and be entered into a drawing for more prizes. The five required properties are: Burnett Woods (Hendricks County), Fred and Dorothy Meyer Nature Preserve (Morgan County), Laura Hare Preserve at Blossom Hollow (Johnson County), Meltzer Woods (Shelby County), and Noni Werbe Krauss Nature Preserve (Hamilton County.)

The challenge concludes on Black Friday, November 26, 2021, so there’s plenty of time to plan outings and participate.

Wildflowers are blooming. Trees are leafing out.

Birds are singing. With the CILT properties, there are so many more places to be explored and experienced!

In reviewing the top ten questions asked this week, #7 actually had to do with traffic engineering (#3 was interesting but unrelated to traffic engineering — but if you’re curious, yes, the medicine is helping). Question #7 had to do with the appropriateness of left and right turn lanes at busy intersections. Also, when are green arrows truly appropriate and how long do turn lanes need to be, anyway?

First, some housekeeping. Before reading any further, please enable cookies (i.e., have several within reach).

Also, we noticed your spam-blocker is active (but that’s ok, nobody likes spam).

Getting back to question #7, turn lanes are recommended whenever the overall intersection operates more efficiently because of them versus without them. Note the word, “recommended.” This is because turn lanes are expensive and the associated roadway widening often requires buying land from adjacent property owners. Relocating utilities or ditches also impacts the cost of adding turn lanes. Cost/benefit analysis required.

Also, note the word, “overall.” Although adding a turn lane may improve the efficiency of turning vehicles, it’s possible the net efficiency of the intersection may diminish. Take, for example, a signalized intersection. Adding a turn lane (with a turn arrow) results in three things: 1) vehicles using the turn lane experience elevated moods, 2) the “green time” available for other vehicles is reduced, and 3) the “red time” available for other vehicles is increased.

The decision to add a dedicated turn arrow should be coupled with some serious signal programming to ensure the time allotted to said green arrow is appropriate based on time of day and, the concurrent demands of overall traffic (CDoOT). Fortunately, modern traffic signals are “traffic-actuated” and can detect the presence of all vehicles allotting green time accordingly and efficiently.

Regarding the physical length of turn lanes, well, as a minimum, they should be long enough to store the number of vehicles making that particular turn. And on high-speed roadways, turn lanes are often extended several hundred feet to allow turning vehicles to decelerate in the turn lane (instead of in the through lane).

So think twice when wishing for a green arrow. And when the car behind you starts honking, stop wishing and get moving… ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Are there any poets in the Squirrel Salon?” I asked Archy.

“Of course,” the squirrel answered in a ‘what do you expect’ tone. “Oscar, of course, but there are several who push their talent in that direction. Take Percy, for example. A romantic to the core. While Walt’s thoughts tend to meander in several directions at once. Both talented, in different ways.”

I asked Archy if he had written any poetry. His eyebrow lifted immediately.

“I don’t write poems,” he said with a bit of dramatic flair. “I live one.” He waited for that to soak in.

I nodded. “You do have a gift for clarity in your descriptions.” A compliment goes a long way with Archy.

“Exactly!” he said. “Poetry can make things clear. A word can become an avalanche. Poetry clarifies what we see and what we can’t yet see.”

“A dish of Irish setters,” I said.

“Precisely!” the squirrel exlaimed. “Poetry describes things that can only exist in the imagination. And in a way that can travel from one imagination to the next. I believe you’re developing a squirrel’s eye view of the art.”

Archy was reading my thoughts.

“That’s why you have copy of Leaves of Grass within reach most of the time.”

I admited that Walt Whitman had a special effect on me. I always feel like he’s standing behnd me, looking over my shoulder as I read.

Archy chucked. “Does that to me, too. And Emily Dickensen is always impatiently tapper her foot.”

The squirrel and I have much in common.

Face It: Pansies Bring Early Color To Garden

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener My Child Didn’t Pass the State Mandated 3rd Grade Reading Test. Now What?

Advice For Handling Disappointing Test Results

Flowers with “faces”?

Yes, Pansies!!!

It’s time for these colorful flowers, that thrive in a cool weather, can survive frosts, a light freeze or maybe a little snow. Early color in our gardens - Hurrah!

Pansies are increasing in popularity due to the ease of growing, plus they are disease and pest free. Pansies have fragrant and edible blooms!

There is no other annual with such a wide range of color as pansies.

Head to your local nursery or garden center for bedding plants. Choose a stocky plant with medium green foliage.

The coarsely notched leaves will be oval or heart-shaped.

You want a plant with a few blooms but lots of buds. Plants will be compact, 9 inches high and spread 9 inches Pansies’ ideal location is to the morning sun, (need cooler temperatures to thrive). Plant away from the heat of the afternoon if you can. Plant soon as the soil is workable this spring (soil temperatures between 45°F and 65°F) You know the rest: plant in your good soil that is well-drain don’t forget to loosen the roots of the plants when you take them out of the cells; they are root-bound and need to be loosen. (Hint: I use a big nail)

A Bark From the Past: Henry

[Editor’s Note: The Republican’s first four-footed correspondent was Henry, who made observations about life in a small town. The articles have been languishing in the computer’s memory and we thought a new audience might enjoy canine commentary.]

Well, the road trip I was looking forward to wasn’t what I expected. I thought my humans were planning a trip for Spring Break, and it turned out that they were talking about a shopping trip, with a stop at the hardware store, because a spring broke on our screen door. But the day wasn’t a total loss. I got to ride along and one of the stops was the pet supply store. I like going to the pet supply store, because I can go in and smell all the good smells and meet the nice people who may have brought their dogs, and it’s great to meet some new dogs, too!

I was expecting a road trip like the one we took to Nebraska a couple of years ago, but we went only as far as Avon. But, a trip to Avon can be as good as a trip to Nebraska, and you can get there sooner! We brought home souvenirs from Nebraska and we brought home some things from Avon, too. Now, you may not think that a barrel of cat litter and a case of biscuits are as good as the souvenirs we brought home from Nebraska, but we had a good time anyway, and I’ll think about the day every time I crunch a biscuit!

My humans did take some vacation time at home, even if we didn’t go anywhere, other than our usual places. It was great to have them home more during the day. I have all my dog and cat brothers and sisters to keep me company when my humans are gone, but there’s something special about spending more time with my humans. And it means more biscuits in the long run!

We’ll need to have a meeting of the Animal Action Agenda Committee soon. We welcome two new cat members, Cuddles and Amber Rose! All the cats in the AAAC already knew them, because all cats are psychic. Cookie, the Republican’s cat, still hasn’t forgiven me for mentioning that in this column a couple of years ago. Who knew it was supposed to be a secret? It seems to me any humans who live with cats have figured it out already. How else do you explain the way cats disappear when you’re looking for them to take to the vet? How is it they know, when humans visit, which one hates cats, so they can rub up against him and get cat hair all over his pants leg? And do you think that cats can actually hear the can opener from anywhere in the house? NO! Cats are psychic. Was that hard to figure out?

Keep pansies well-watered and fed with a low nitrogen fertilizer — all that flowering takes a lot of energy! Regular deadhead by cutting the entire blooming stem off to base of plant, that will encourage more new blooms.

Mulch helps protect. Pansies do not like heat at all and will begin to decline as the days warm up.

The pansy flowers are edible. They look very pretty in a lettuce salad and have a minty flavor. The leaves are “mucilaginous”- can be used to thicken soup. Cooks candied them and use to decorate cakes. (** NOTE: Know what you are eating!- Make sure the flowers were grown chemical-free. Start slowly when trying new edible flowers.)

Pansies can also be set out in the fall. Most years a pansy will not overwinter in the Midwest.

Pansies’ care is nearly effortless. Plant some of these pretty faces in your garden this year.

How did the millionaire gardener get rich so quick?

He was running a huge pansy scheme!

We dogs, on the other paw, have to use lung power to talk with other dogs over long distances. When I’m outside, I can bark loud enough for Lucky and the other Henry to hear me, and they can bark loud enough for dogs farther away to hear them, and so on. The word travels like raindrops ripple in a puddle. Sometimes, when I’m outside, I can hear a dog someplace close, and then I hear another dog farther away, and then maybe another one that I can barely hear, far, far in the distance. It just means that some dog has some news to share with all the rest of us dogs. But don’t tell anybody. It’s a secret.

SUDOKU SOLUTION

While research gives mixed reviews on 3rd grade mandatory reading tests, many states now require it, including Indiana (IREAD-3). It began with the idea that by 3rd grade, students need to “read to learn” and have moved past “learning to read.”

Features of a typical mandatory 3rd grade reading test: Phonics (such as comparing words based on beginning, middle, and end sounds) Fiction and Nonfiction Comprehension (reading a passage and answering questions about main idea, point of view, and summarizing) Vocabulary (identifying the meanings of words used in the comprehension passage, synonyms and antonyms, prefixes and suffixes) As a parent or caregiver, such high stakes testing might feel overwhelming, or too soon. If you find yourself in a situation where your child doesn’t pass this test, here are tips for handling this news in a productive, positive way.

Step #1: Stay calm. Whether your child’s teacher called you, or sent an email or letter home, give yourself some time before you respond. Taking time to process this information, we are more apt to look for solutions instead of placing blame, and solutions are what your child needs.

Step #2: Assess the situation. Ask yourself questions like: Has your child’s teacher been sharing concerns about academic readiness with you for awhile? If so, the news might not be a surprise (but it still stings nonetheless).

Does your child typically rush through school work?

Was your child worried about the test?

Were there factors leading up to the test that might have affected your child’s performance, such as the pandemic, illness, change in environment at home or school, or medication adjustments?

Step #3: Be informed. It’s important to dig deeper and learn more about the test, your child’s specific performance on it, and what the school suggests as possible interventions.

Ask for an honest assessment from your child’s teacher.

Really listen and fight the urge to make excuses. Teachers can give specifics on strengths and weaknesses while also helping to analyze what the score means. In many cases, the teacher is able to even able to share how long the child took on the test, so you can assess whether rushing was an issue.

Ask what interventions will continue or begin as a result of the test. In some cases, additional help during the day will occur outside of reading class. There might be opportunities for additional interventions offered before or after school and/or summer school may be mandatory.

If you feel test anxiety or other outside factors were the leading contributing factor for the test results, ask for advice from your child’s school counselor or pediatrician.

Make sure your child’s teacher is aware. Many times students put on a brave face at school, when parents are more aware of anxious feelings leading up to events.

States have specific rules about when retention (or being held back) is mandatory vs. suggested. There are also rules about students qualifying for “good cause exemptions,” meaning if students don’t pass a test, they are still promoted to the next grade level. School administrators know these rules and will be able to answer questions about your child’s specific case. Most states offer opportunities for re-testing.

Step #4: Share the news. Once you feel you better understand the situation and have a plan, present your child with the facts. Be honest, but sensitive. As much as you will want to spare your child’s feelings, do not lie. If part of the plan for moving forward involves more reading together at home, share that, but make sure you stick with it.

Here are a few conversation starters: “Remember when you took the state reading test a few weeks ago? Well, we received your score and it wasn’t quite high enough to pass. The good news is that I’ve talked with your teacher and here’s what we’re going to do to help you improve. I love you. ” “I know you’ve worked really hard to improve your reading. I’m very proud of your efforts. The state reading test is only one way educators look at progress and on this test your score wasn’t high enough to pass. Here are some things we can continue to do in order to help you. I love you.”

“I love (insert talents and character traits your child possesses) about you. I also love reading with you. Let’s do more of that together. Here are other things we’ll do together so that you might pass the state reading test when given a second chance this summer since you didn’t pass on the first attempt.”

“Do you remember when reading that Elephant and Piggie book was hard? Think about how far you have come since then! Now you’re reading _______! I can’t wait to see how much you continue to improve. Although your score wasn’t high enough to pass, I know you’re going to continue to work hard. I love you.”

“You are more than a test score.”

Finally, make sure your child understands that this information is private. Students might want to compare scores at school or on the bus, despite warnings not to do so from educators. It seems cruel, but many students who start this type of talk are really just looking to boost their own confidence. You might even give your child ideas for potential responses, like, “My parents said that my test scores are private and that I’m not allowed to share.” Also, respect your child’s privacy and avoid sharing the information with family and/or friends, especially if there’s a chance your child can overhear.

Collector’s Historic Firearms To Be Featured in Local Auction Winchester Model 1873 .38-40 lever action repeating rifle.

Made in 1884, it was presented in 1886 to the retiring superintendent of His Majesty’s General Prison in Perth, Australia, by his officers. ____________________________________________________

Iconic elements of American Western history will be sold absolute to the highest bidder in Danville live and online Saturday morning at 10 a.m., April 17, when Lawson & Co. auctions an estate collection of Winchester repeating rifles and Colt revolvers.

TV and movie Western fans will immediately recognize the lever action rifles and Single Action Army revolvers. Lawson expects collectors of these rare historic relics of the past to demonstrate interest from across the nation, and possibly the world.

A sale preview is Friday, April 16, Noon-6:30 p.m.

The estate of Michael B. Snite extends far beyond those seminal relics of the American West. The career commercial pilot was an avid sailor, owning two sailboats. He was a second-generation member of the Great Lakes Cruising Club out of Chicago. His father, John T. Snite, co-founded the club in 1933-34, and was its Commodore in 1937.

Snite Senior owned several yachts; he won Chicago Yacht Club races with Bagheera and Copperhead, and their

memorabilia alone are highly collectible.

The maritime element of the estate includes model yachts and numerous articles ranging from breathtaking black-and-white photographs believed to be shot by Morris Rosenfeld, the godfather of maritime photography, to things expected on a racing yacht.

But it’s the truly classic firearms that are the auction’s focus.

One Winchester was presented to the retiring superintendent of the General Prison in Perth, Australia, in 1886. How it ended up in Snite’s collection is a mystery.

Mr. Snite died in early 2019. Lawson & Co. contacted the country’s antique arms collector’s society about it, and there is interest Down Under.

Another Winchester rifle belonged to the colonel commanding the 6th Cavalry at Fort Apache. Colonel E.A. Carr won the Medal of Honor during the Civil War; he was awarded the medal in 1894 for his actions at the battle of Pea Ridge.

An English-made double-barrel 10-gauge stagecoach shotgun is engraved Other items in the auction “Wells Fargo.” There’s an include this Late Victorian Tan1875 Wells Fargo letter ref- talus set with silver-plate frame erencing a petition for mail and matching crystal block optic decanters (scotch and service at Fort Shaw in the bourbon). Includes silver plate Montana Territory. decanter labels.

The collection includes ________________________ two 1884 chromolithographs of yachting scenes Frederic S. Cozzens painted the year before. Cozzens, highly popular in that era, regularly was commissioned by wealthy New York yachtsmen to depict their sailing pride.

Public Notices & Local Government

By Steve Keys Hoosier State Press Association It’s time to debunk the myth of the financial burden advertising public notices places on local government units.

The cost is the No. 1 cited reason given by representatives of local government associations while testifying for the elimination of the publication requirement for a specific public notice or all public notices.

They don’t say the interests of legal due process or government transparency will be better served through the elimination.

They can’t because they know the chances average Hoosiers will ever see the notices on their government websites are slim and none. So it comes down to cost as their argument.

Reviewing information provided to me by two Indiana newspapers – one a major daily and the other a weekly in a mid-size county – pokes holes in the cost argument.

For the East-central Indiana weekly, the average cost per public notice for local government units in 2019 was $95.57. For the northern Indiana daily, that average was $85. 78.

I was surprised to see that the average for the weekly newspaper was larger, but looking at the data, it comes down to fewer public notices published because there are fewer government units that publish their notices in the weekly newspaper, so the weight of notices placed by townships increases the average. Six of the 10 townships only published one notice during the year – their annual financial re-

port, which ranged in cost from $152 to $307. The financial report is a larger than normal sized public notice, particularly for townships because they have to add a list of expenditures that no other local government unit is required to publish.

Ironically, that average cost will decrease if S.B. 409, authored by Sen. Rick Niemeyer is approved during this legislative session. His legislation would eliminate the list of expenditures from the published yearly report for townships.

The daily published 1,927 public notices for local government units, compared to 289 for the weekly.

That would be expected in an urban county with more local government units. An interesting note was that the average cost per notice dropped down to $73.69 if you took the County Treasurer out of the picture.

The average cost for the three notices published by the treasurer was $7,834 because of the size of the tax sale notice. The daily’s county has an unusual number of properties each year subject to the tax sale.

For the weekly paper, the county auditor spent the most taxpayer dollars for public notices - $7,608, but it also published the most public notices (36 with an average cost of $211 for them). The auditor is required to publish the chart every year that shows the different tax rates in effect across the county, which

would push that average cost up.

Except for the Auditor, the most any government unit paid to publish public notices was $2,381. Hardly an amount that would hamper any government unit’s ability to serve their community.

(Full disclosure: the cost for public notices for county units in both counties would be higher because most of notices would be published in two newspapers in a county. Although that wouldn’t be the case in a third of the counties because they only have one newspaper.”

As the Hoosier State Press Association continues to fight legislation that would move publication of public notices from newspapers to posting on government websites, beyond all the arguments for government transparency and how the public will never see the notices on government websites, publishers might want to take a look at the cost to local government to place public notices in their newspaper(s).

I think one will find the cost argument against publication to be a weak point for Hoosiers who value government transparency. Don’t forget that 63% of adult Hoosiers said in an American Opinion Research survey in 2017 that notices should be published in their local newspapers even when told it could cost the government unit several thousand dollars.

An Ames Model 1840 Dragoon saber manufactured in 1849, with nickel-plated scabbard. ____________________________________________________

A perpetual motion clock awaits the winning bid from someone averse to winding the mantel timepiece.

Reportedly once belonging to Sammy Davis Jr., one Colt .45 revolver is covered with a variety of engraved cattle brands. Massive percussion cap Colt Dragoons date to the 1850s. A Civil War .58 caliber revolving cylinder rifle musket is heavily provenanced, with virtually everything known about the young Union soldier who carried it.

A beautifully replicated Jacob Metzgar flintlock Kentucky long rifle is on the block to be sold April 17.

Perhaps it was a touch of the whimsical that prompted Snite to purchase a non-working Thompson Machine Gun replica from an old Chicago music store in 1962. The solid aluminum prop comes in a violin case.

Two holsters are designs patented by the man Matt Dillon shot at the beginning of just about every episode of “Gunsmoke.” One two-rig gun belt formerly belonging to Stembridge Gun Rentals reportedly was used on “Gunsmoke.”

Enthusiasts are being drawn to the collection’s .45 Colt 1911s semi-automatics, an outstanding M1 Garand, and Model 1840 Dragoon sabers dating to the War Between the States. Experts disagree which side carried one of the sabers; if it’s Confederate, it’s worth considerably more.

A more modern (circa Vietnam Era) U.S. Marines’ ceremonial mameluke is heavily engraved.

Snite, a former president of the Michigan Antique Arms Collectors, held every leadership position there over a 25year period. He was a 47-year member of the Ohio Gun Collector’s Club. A marksman from his youth, he was recalled by a dear friend as being quite particular with his collecting. He wanted museum grade. The friend says Snite verified serial numbers and markings. Authentication letters accompany a number of the firearms.

The Lawson & Co. Auction Gallery is located at 1280 E. Main St., Danville, Ind., just east of Hendricks Regional Hospital. Phone 317-745-6404 for auction details.

IS THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE THE LORD’S CHOICE? A recent Gallup poll has stated that in the United States, church attendance has declined from 75% of the population in 1945 to 47% in 2020. That is almost a 30% decline and the trend is downward.

In 1956 the 84th Congress passed a resolution that “In God We Trust” was to become the national motto of our country. The bible has many examples of nations whose citizens slowly departed from godly living and were overcome by more powerful nations as a result.

Is the US in that downward spiral? Let us all consider our plight and turn back to God as our Creator, our Sustainer and the Father of all.
