ORV Accident Claims Life

The Brownsburg community was introduced to the newest “resident” of Williams Park at the unveiling of the first public art sculpture on park grounds on Saturday, April 10.

The sculpture – a whimsical human-size bee playing a violin – will be in the center of the renovated entry circle to the park, located at 940 S. Locust Lane, Brownsburg.

The bee was created by Indianapolis artist Patrick Mack, who has displayed sculptures throughout the U.S. and Canada. Made of metal rods that have been primed and painted, the idea behind the bee playing a musical instrument is to encourage visitors to listen to the “music” made by the nature surrounding them. The piece was supported by a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

“We’re so excited to share this fantastic piece of art with the residents of Brownsburg,” said Park Board President Judy Kenninger. “The Park Board believes the addition of public art in our parks is a great way to showcase both the arts and our natural spaces. Our goal is to include public art throughout our park system.”

Another addition to the Brownsburg Park System will take place on Wednesday, April 28, when the White Lick Creek Greenway officially opens from Northfield Drive to Arbuckle Acres Park with a 10 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony. The first 20 participants to arrive at the ceremony location just south of McAlister’s Deli will receive gift bags featuring sweet deals from businesses in the Northfield Commons shopping area.

This is just one phase of what is planned to be a greenway that links three Brownsburg parks. The long-term plan is to connect to the towns of Avon and Plainfield.

An off-road-vehicle accident claimed the life of a young Danville man on Friday, April 10, 2021.

First responders were dispatched at approximately 10 p.m. to private property near the 7300 block of U.S. 36 west of Danville.

Chase Lynch, 20, of Danvile, was found unresponsive. He was transported to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, where he died from his injuries Saturday morning.

Preliminary investigation showed the off-roadvehicle that Lynch was operating struck a ditch in a cornfield, causing the vehicle to flip and eject Lynch. __________

Quaker Blvd.

Agreement

Town of Plainfield

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) recently entered an agreement with the Town of Plainfield and Hendricks County about the relinquishment of a portion of State Road 267, known locally as Quaker Boulevard. Avon Avenue north of U.S. 40 was also included as part of the agreement. The effective date of the transfer was April 1.

The Town of Plainfield will now oversee the snowplowing, pavement repairs, mowing, debris removal and traffic signal timing, and other responsibilities. In return, the Town will receive approximately $20.5 million for local project improvements. Due to statutory requirements, Hendricks County will maintain responsibility for several bridge structures affected by the transfer.

“The Town looks forward to fully servicing Quaker Boulevard moving forward,” said Town Manager, Andrew Klinger. “INDOT continues to be a good partner with the Town on state roadways and their intersections with local roads. This agreement will allow the Town to invest in key improvements to intersections at Avon Avenue and County Road 300 South, as well as adding lane capacity at Quaker Boulevard and Hadley Road. I believe our residents and visitors will benefit tremendously from this agreement.”

The relinquishment of S.R. 267 has been underway for several years. In 2013, INDOT executed a similar agreement with Hendricks County, Avon, and Brownsburg. In 2016, an agreement was made with the County to accept jurisdiction south of Plainfield to the Hendricks County line. This agreement serves to close the gap of those previous relinquishment efforts to provide full local control of these key roadways in Hendricks County.

“Plainfield and Hendricks County have been tremendous partners through the relinquishment process,” said INDOT District Deputy Commissioner, Shane Spears. “This is a great opportunity for them to have the ability to develop the roadway in a manner that is much more advantageous for their community. We look forward to working with them in future endeavors.”

INDOT will retain control of the I-70 interchange and its ramp system and is committed to investing in the reconstruction of the interchange, subject to funding availability and prioritization. INDOT also retains control over U.S. 40 (Plainfield’s Main Street) and will continue to coordinate with the Town on the management of its intersections with local roads. INDOT recently invested nearly $7 million into resurfacing and improving of U.S. 40 in Plainfield. ______________________________________________________________________

SERVING HENDRICKS COUNTY SINCE 1847

Page 2

The Republican

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner takes items from

The Republican’s Yester-Year column to develop an interesting, informative and often humorous article.

To the Editor: Before The Republican, or even the Danville Advertiser, which launched in 1846, other out-of-town newspapers carried news from and about Danville.

I learned the name of the county seat’s first physician from Parke County’s Wabash Herald; it reported Dr. Caleb Garrett, an “eminent and highly respectable physician” had died at his Danville residence on Aug. 21, 1831.

The 1914 county history had no information about the man other than his last name and that he was Danville’s first doctor.

The good doctor surely deserved more than that.

The son of Quaker farmer Welcome Garrett, a large powerfully built fellow with gray eyes, Caleb was one of 13 siblings, with four step-siblings. Born on March 20, 1778, Caleb lived but 53 years, cause of death unknown. An older brother, John, was accidentally killed, age 14, by a falling door during a storm.

Welcome moved to Indiana in 1834 when he was 76, first to Wayne County, then Hamilton County near Westfield the following year.

Caleb was born in Surry County, North Carolina. He owned land there. He ran into trouble with his fellow Quakers, however. Records of Aug. 2, 1813, show “he was complained of for not attending meetings and for deviation from plainness.”

A little over a month later, a committee visiting him reported, he was “not appearing disposed to make satisfaction.” The Quakers disowned him.

Caleb then identified with the Christian (Campbellite) church until the end of his days.

He was a farmer, physician and gospel preacher. I’ve not learned where he picked up his medical skills.

He moved to Washington County, Indiana, in 1816. On Sept. 5, 1825, he exhorted his younger sister, Beulah, and brother-in-law, John Starbuck, to embrace his unyielding faith, as “this and nothing but this, will give you courage to face a frowning, gain-saying, surmising, evil speaking, backbiting, scoffing, sneering, blaspheming multitude.”

This zealous faith would enable them to resist “the allurements – the temptations, to run with a multitude to do evil.” They would pick up the required fortitude, too.

There would be adversity, and “the devil and his agents” to deal with.

As of his letter writing, Caleb had seen his brother, Isom, the first time in 11 years.

Isom lived 135 miles away along the Wabash River.

Caleb practiced medicine there until 1829, when he moved to Danville. He died two years later, but I’ve not learned where he is buried. He was twice married. After his first wife died in 1820, he married a much younger woman, but she died of consumption, age about 28, a day after his demise. He fathered 13 children.

I’ve no idea how many people calling Danville home in 1831 needed a doctor. The earliest Census data, from 1850, puts the number at 386. Clearly, though, if Dr. Garrett couldn’t heal, he was bound and determined to save souls.

The state of medicine at the time is largely unknown to me. Tales from 30 years later during the Civil War, of disease and infection, gangrene, brutal amputations without anesthetic and adequate sanitation provide a general idea.

The 1829 illness and painful death of a 32-year-old Lawrenceburg magistrate offers some insight of the time: “His disease was lingering, violent and obstinate, baffling the power of medicine and skill of the most eminent physicians.”

A ruptured blood vessel, “occasioned as is believed by too close application to business at the desk, which ended as is supposed in a dropsy in the chest.”

Congestive heart failure?

I can surmise the popularity of quackery and patent medicines can be laid at the door of desperation due to insufficiently advanced medical science, particularly regarding children.

In 1800, U.S. child mortality rate was 463 deaths per thousand births, or more than 46 percent never made it past their fifth birthday.

A respected doctor of the era who had studied extensively in Europe complained of “a want of truth in all our systems of the medical science.”

I learned the names of 13 other early county doctors. County history calls them all allopathic, meaning they believed in science, but I’ll not delve into their histories unless I discover one or more were blood-letters like Theodoric of York, the barber-surgeon.

Her cries could be heard from blocks away. Uncle John’s mother took him by the hand and led him out of sight and hearing. And then she said: “John, when you get to be a man I want you to vote against this awful thing of human slavery.” And John promised and he made his promise good by voting and fighting.

Call 811 Before You Dig

Spring is here and people are excited to get outdoors to plant trees, shrubs and flowers, as well as begin those outdoor construction projects that make homes more comfortable.

Can you dig it?

Yes, you can. But first, make an important call to 811, the national “Call Before You Dig” hotline and ask that the underground utilities on your property be properly located and marked.

“Calling 811 before digging anywhere prevents damage to underground utilities, prevents potential personal injury and avoids electric and other utility outages,” said Scott Batson, Duke Energy senior vice president and chief distribution officer. “It also helps avoid costly repairs for the offenders.”

Calling 811 is a free nationwide service. Contractors, homeowners, businessowners and anyone preparing for a digging project of any kind should call 811 at least three business days before digging begins. The local utilities will then send a crew to mark underground lines in the area (electric, natural gas, water, sewer, phone, cable TV and others) with above-ground stakes, flags or paint, which indicates restricted areas before a customer begins a digging project.

In 2019, the U.S. Common Ground Alliance reported approximately 532,000 excavation-related damage events in the U.S., an increase of 14 percent from 2018, the latest year for which figures are available. Estimated damages in 2019 total approximately $30 billion in direct and indirect losses.

In 2020, Duke Energy reported approximately 2,800 damage-causing digin events in its six-state electric service territory.

In Indiana, the number was 138.

With pandemic precautions in place, the Hendricks County Master Gardeners will once again host their “Gardening for All Ages” show on April 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the fully enclosed Equine Pavilion/Horse Barn on the north side of the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds & Conference Complex in Danville. Directional signage will be in place. The new fairgrounds location accommodates the ongoing vaccine clinic and also allows for greater social distancing during the event.

The Gardening for All Ages show had to be cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, and the group is excited to again welcome local gardeners. They will have over 30 garden-related vendors with plants, garden décor, bird-watching supplies, and advice to make this year’s garden your best ever.

“It seems more and more people are interested in learning to garden, so we’re offering educational sessions intended both new and experienced gardeners,” says event co-chair Kimberly Somermeyer.

Although the event will look a little different this year, the Hendricks County Master Gardeners will continue their tradition of distributing free vegetable and flower seeds, and trees from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. A large number of seed packets will be prebagged, and attendees can select flowers only, vegetables only or a mix of the two. The Master Gardeners encourage sharing seeds with friends and neighbors. Note: Due to current health guidelines, there will be no children’s activities this year and face masks are strongly recommended for all attendees.

A food vendor, Georgia’s Kitchen, will be serving fair favorites such as Philly Cheesesteak, Italian sausages, walking tacos, and taco salad, along with beverages.

The Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds & Conference Complex is located at 1900 E. Main St. in Danville, Indiana.

Phase One of the proposed Brownsburg Youth Sports Complex project includes six baseball diamonds and six softball diamonds; enough to host multiple tournaments per year. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Plans for the Brownsburg Youth Sports Complex has stalled as key council members continue to question the decision made in December.

In a multi-group effort, representatives from Brownsburg Parks Department, Brownsburg Community School Corporation, Brownsburg Little League Baseball (BLLB) and Brownsburg Girls Softball League (BGSL) came together to purchase 106 acres from the school corporation at County Road 700 N and County Road 900 East.

Travis Smith of BLLB and Robert Baldwin of (BGSL) approached the Brownsburg Town Council to partner in the purchase of the land and development. Of the $15.5 million needed, the two leagues have pledged to pay $10 million for use of the six baseball diamonds and six softball diamonds planned.

The land will include additional park amenities and facilities for additional sports teams, a playground and open space.

The proposed plan was approved by the Brownsburg Town Council at the December 17, 2020 meeting with a 4-1 vote and the various groups set to work, preparing for the next steps in the process.

However, after the holidays, additional discussion led the Town Council to meet with the Brownsburg Parks and Recreation and tensions rose as the various groups presented for a second time.

County Commissioner Dennis Dawes addressed the council in support of the project.

He began by describing the county’s plan to extend Ronald Reagan Parkway and the timing of the extension working with the sports complex project.

“It’s a great site and a great location. There would be access to Ronald Reagan, to Interstate 65 and Interstate 74. I think it would be a jumpstart to other developments in the area with it sitting near St. Malachy Church and School, it could be a whole not-forprofit piece along there. Other businesses would come along simply because there’s already activity,” Dawes said.

Smith and Baldwin then presented their plan to design a facility of superior quality and value for their more than 600 students in the two leagues.

The BLLB has nurtured future MLB and NBA professionals in the past and has a vision to continue to support young athletes in their dreams to play.

Unfortunately, since their last diamond was demolished due to incoming development in the town, the two teams have been searching for a permanent location for several years.

“This would be a great product, not only for our kids in Brownsburg but for the entire Midwest. We provide recreation leagues, clinics for both kids and coaches and have partnerships with the Indianapolis Indians and Little League International,” Smith said.

With their limited resources, however, Smith says they aren’t able to host tournaments right now; a big draw for in-state and out-of-state leagues.

During the presentation, the council asked many questions regarding finances and sponsorship plans. The groups also discussed the future economic growth and development afforded by a professional sports complex, in an area currently underserved.

Some council members and parks department board members reiterated the fact that without a baseball diamond and no set up for concessions the teams have basically been playing with one hand behind their back.

Another addressed the concern of Brownsburg leagues currently renting space at Scamahorn Park in Pittsboro because they do not have the resources in Brownsburg.

Furthermore, the leagues have begun capping their enrollment due to limited space and turn away children wanting to join but can’t, due to space restrictions.

Several were confused or frustrated by the joint meeting in the first place. If the project was approved back in December, why now, are they re-presenting information and discussing as if the project is still undecided?

Councilmen Jeff Gracey was the only member to vote against the approval in December. He continued to have reservations during the latest discussion.

“This can’t be an emotional giveaway. Discussions of alternatives are absolutely appropriate. We have other rec leagues in this town and a whole town of youths that would love the opportunity to play on quality athletic

fields,” Gracey said.

Though the town openly discussed offering a different location to the leagues but still purchasing the land from Brownsburg Community Schools, Superintendent Jim Snapp addressed the board.

“There is zero interest from the school board to use that 106 acres for anything other than parks. We appreciate the different perspectives and those things, but the school board is not interested in moving off of what was decided in December,” Snapp said. “It’s for the youth of the town.”

Vice President of the Brownsburg Town Council Brian Jessen also expressed frustration about the process.

“The project is all but done. The Town has spent more than $500,000 in engineering and legal fees and then at the last minute a few councilmen have decided they want to change gears,” Jessen said. “They’re trying to force the Little League into a position they don’t want to be in [by changing location for the complex].

In December, a purchase agreement was signed by the Town and Brownsburg School Corporation, however, until April 15, all parties have the ability to back out of the agreement.

“Little League will get the short end of the stick,” Jessen said. “They are the only Little League I’ve been able to find, made to pay for their own fields. Other municipalities pay for the land and then the Little League maintains it. They are offering to purchase the fields and they’re getting sponsorships lined up. The other phase of the project includes space for rugby, lacrosse and soccer teams because they don’t have a set place.”

Even though the council requested appraisals on other Brownsburg property in the area, Jessen says they know they won’t receive the information in time for the April 8 meeting.

“Little League has gone above and beyond and they will become the casualty out of all of this,” Jessen said.

“We need to get back to the basics.”

As of April 15, a final decision will be made if the Town Council plans to honor their agreement with the school corporation or back out of it.

As of press time, the future property of Boys and Girls Brownsburg Little League teams remain unknown.

Plainfield Police To Get New, Upgraded In-car and Body Cameras

The Town of Plainfield Town Council approved a contract to upgrade body worn cameras for the Plainfield Police Department at this evening’s Town Council Meeting. This contract approval continues the department’s initiatives to provide a safer community for its residents and officers. The contract with Motorola will upgrade the body worn and in-car cameras, storage and expand body worn cameras to all sworn staff on the department.

“The Plainfield Police Department was the first law enforcement department in Hendricks County to wear body cameras while on duty,” said Chief of Plainfield Police, Jared McKee. “We continue to be a leader in the community by investing in the most up-to-date technology.

The advantage of this new system is that the camera will essentially always be recording, which is advantageous for all of our staff and those we encounter.”

Installing more cameras and storage will allow transparency between law enforcement and the community while decreasing the costs of investigations.

The newest investment comes after the Plainfield Police Department has worked to increase training and public outreach in the wake of the civil unrest in 2020. Last year, the police department introduced a de-escalation simulator program. The simulator allows officers to participate in “real-life” encounters, where they receive instant positive feedback when they successfully utilized de-escalation techniques. De-escalation has also been infused into all use of force trainings implemented by the department.

Additionally, Chief Jared McKee and other officers began participating and hosting more inclusive conversations to help build stronger relationships with the entire community.

“I am thankful that the council sees the benefits of a robust body worn and in-car camera system and is willing to finance such a large endeavor,” said McKee. “As we continually strive towards police professionalism, our transparency to the public should always be imbedded in everything we do. I am honored to serve the community of Plainfield and thankful for the continued support as we progress through these ever-changing times.”

Brownsburg’s Oinking Acres Saving One Potbellied Pig at a Time

By Melissa Gibson Olivia Head said her first memories as a child included pigs.

“My mom was heavily involved in cat and dog rescue. We always took in the animals that no one wanted: a hairless dog, a threelegged hamster. This is what make them special to us. We had two pigs, Pixie and Penelope and after they passed away, I began looking to buy my own pig,” Head said.

She was shopping for a ‘teacup’ pig, imaging the adorable little pet that fit in her purse and afternoons of painting the pigs’ toenails.

After Head’s mom insisted that buying from a breeder wasn’t the way to go, she stumbled upon the rescue organization A Critters Chance and everything changed. Head says she fell in love with the porcine species.

“First of all, there’s no such thing as a teacup pig,” Head said. “Breeders market teacup pigs, pocket pigs and other terms just to get your attention. None of them will stay small, no matter what a breeder says.

They may even starve their pigs to make them smaller, but a healthy, full-grown pig is going to be at least 80-120 pounds.”

She adopted her first potbellied pig from A Critters Chance at 14-years-old and began volunteering and fostering animals. She was the youngest person sitting on the board at A Critters Chance in the non-profit’s history and by 16, she filed for a 501c3 and started Oinking Acres, a farm animal rescue sanctuary.

Though the majority of her animals are pigs, she also rescues goats, chickens, ducks and other farm animals. Last year, Oinking Acres rescued 222 animals, 100 of them, pigs.

She receives 10-20 phone calls a day from people wanting to surrender their animals – mostly unwanted pigs.

“Of those 100, we found great forever homes for 96 pigs,” Head said. “We’ve taken in at least 20-30 so far this year.”

Many surrendered pigs are a result of families finding they legally aren’t allowed to own one or care becomes too much .

“In an adoption, our first step is to check the zoning in the family’s area. We need to make sure they are allowed to have a pig. A lot of the pigs we receive come from animal control, because they’ll be confiscated if found in a county

they aren’t allowed to be in. For example, in Marion County, you cannot own a potbellied pig,” Head said.

Animal control ends up with them and they call her to find a more appropriate home.

“Animal control is trained to care for cats and dogs and they do a fantastic job. But 98 percent of pigs are surrendered or rehomed before their first birthday. They’ve already been through so much,” Head said.

She takes in all of the animals knowing they may never get adopted – and that’s okay.

Head receives daily messages about needing behavioral training tips or what to do about a health issues, though she is careful to warn that she is not a veterinarian and cannot diagnose or advise on behavioral issues with pets.

“I take the pig to a vet if I’m concerned and I’m happy to help you find a vet that understands pot bellied pigs. I have been running a rescue for five years, but I can only go off of my own experience and the things I’ve seen,” Head said.

Oinking Acres hosts educational tours every weekend. They do not currently have public hours but hope to change that soon. They also want to development a youth mentor program and so far, will be offering a summer camp for various ages that offers hands-on education.

“The youth of this generation will ultimately grow up and hopefully, be more responsible pet owners,” Head said. “My plan is to continue to grow the rescue and save pigs and be their voice and advocate.”

ASK MR. TRAFFIC

Exploring Hendricks County

By Chet Skwarcan, PE, President/ Founder of Traffic Engineering, Inc. Chet@TrafficEngineering.com

By Jackie Horn

Since this was our first time on a bike in several months, John and I thought we’d start with a short ride. To begin our journey, we parked at the Friendship Garden in Plainfield and unloaded our bikes. Crossing the White Lick Creek bridge, we rode north, past the athletic fields and Bicentennial Plaza. We ducked under Highway 40 via the underpass and continued winding along passing a pond and enjoying bird songs as we followed the trail through a wooded area. White Lick Trail intersects the Vandalia Trail slightly south of the Rec and Aquatic Center. A left turn would lead us toward the Saratoga housing addition area. Instead, we took a right and headed across the bridge and into Franklin Park.

The eastern terminus of the Vandalia Trail in Plainfield.

Easy Rider Last March when John and I moved to Hendricks County, we knew we’d be living in an apartment for a bit while we searched for a house to buy. The apartment was on the second floor and we weren’t allowed to store bicycles under the stairs or in the hall. We gave our bikes away, planning to replace them once we were settled. “The best-laid plans of mice and men…” After COVID struck, bicycles sold out everywhere. We couldn’t find a bike to buy. This spring we started the search again and finally managed to purchase bikes. I am so ready to explore all the bike trails in Hendricks County!

The first bike path John and I wanted to explore was the Vandalia Trail. We had seen the trail from Dan Jones Road and were curious.

Named after the former railroad corridor on which it’s built, the Vandalia Trail is currently 17 miles in length running from Greencastle in Putnam County through Coatesville at the edge of Hendricks County and terminating in Amo. Restroom facilities, tool stands, and air pumps are available at both Hendricks County locations thanks to the HC Parks and Recreation which maintains the trail segment. This section of the developed trail ends here.

The trail begins again on the western edge of Plainfield near the intersection of CR 500 West and 400 South.

(Plans are in the works to complete the path, connecting the western segment with the Plainfield section.) From here the Vandalia Trail runs parallel to Highway 40 (with a few jogs) to the east side of town near Perry Road. It was just announced last month that the town was awarded a grant to build another 2.3 miles extending the eastern terminus to Raceway Road. When completed, Vandalia Trail will run 34 miles joining Greencastle to Indianapolis through Putnam, Hendricks, and Marion Counties.

Up to this point, the trail doesn’t come close to a street and young, inexperienced bike riders would have no worries. For this next section, the path crosses city streets. It continues to be separated from the roadway, but cyclists need to stop for cross traffic and little people need to be closely supervised. Most of the trail is gently winding and flat, but at the end of East Street is a rather sharp zigzag and a WICKED hill (although it could be I’m just a wimp.

I was huffing but made it without walking the bike!) The route levels off, continuing through a “tunnel” of trees and bushes which separate the track from neighborhoods and commercial buildings. The trail is very popular and we met several joggers, walkers, and other cyclists along the way. Trail-users must observe stop signs as the path crosses automobile traffic at Avon Avenue, Carr Road, and Dan Jones Road before terminating in the parking lot at Township Line Road and Hunt Street. Round trip, the ride was about 7.5 miles.

With this first ride under our belts, John and I are ready to tackle the other local trails. Hmmm, what to do next?

B&O? Washington Township? White Lick? So many choices! Now all we need is more time.

A Note From Bee The wheels on the Beemobile went round and round.

What was the Beemobile you may ask? It was a red 1986 Chevy station wagon. It was transportation for my daycare kids from 1981-1986 The kids and I loved the Beemobile. It took us to all kinds of fun places. The parents of my daycare kids did not mind that we were on the road several times a week. There were so many things to do at the Children’s museum especially at Christmas time.

We could go to the State Museum, ride the Ayres train and talk to Santa.. The zoo was one of our favorite stops. We would play at the park and take hikes. The library had story times. The kids heard a story and did a craft.

It was a sad, sad day when the Beemobile died. ______________________________________________

Leah woke up yesterday morning early. She was so excited because she was getting a new kid in her class!

How nice to live in the world of a 7-year-old where you welcome everyone in with open arms. Where you are excited for the “new people” sight unseen. Where you don’t care what kind of shoes they are wearing, the color of their skin or the story that brought them to your classroom!

How nice to be so gentle and open to the change that is coming in your day without knowing if this new neighbor is going to be the valedictorian or the class clown.

How wonderful to not care about whether the new kid will pick up their pencils and keep their desk clean or if they will be sloppy and leave their desk next to yours a mess.

How wonderful to only care about the potential of a new friend for you to play with, live next to and to share your stories with.

How wonderful to be able to have the open mind and heart of a 7 year old!

A Double Yellow Line Is It Always Two Lines?

A double yellow line — you know what I’m talking about. So why do we avoid the topic? It’s come to the point I hesitate to even bring up the subject, especially at parties or family gatherings. And it’s not always simple yellow paint, you know. Many times it’s a product called thermoplastic — a plastic polymer. I know it sounds futuristic but its chemical properties allow it to become soft when heated and hard when cooled. It’s much thicker than paint and lasts a long time. And the best part — it’s expensive.

But what exactly does a double yellow line mean? No one knows, but let me take a stab at it. According to my computer laptop etch-a-sketch thingy, a double yellow line indicates maximum or special restrictions. My traffic engineering instincts suggest if you should happen upon a double yellow line in the wild, turn around and go home.

If, however, you choose to proceed, take note of these specific maximum or special restrictions: a double yellow line (i.e., two solid lines, not dashed) means that particular part of the roadway is for 2-way traffic and crossing the double yellow line for passing is prohibited for traffic traveling in either direction.

And not to overwhelm you with yellow centerline creeds, but there are two more options for two-lane, twoway roadways, 1) a dashed yellow line (where passing with care is permitted), and 2) a double yellow line consisting of one solid line and one dashed line (where passing with care is permitted but only on the side with the dashed line).

Note that a single solid yellow line is not used as a centerline marking on a two-way roadway. And centerline markings on undivided two-way roadways (i.e., with four or more lanes) are always double yellow lines.

Now you may notice some roadways do not even have marked centerlines. The decision to mark a centerline is based on roadway width and the average number of daily vehicles using the roadway. And there are other scenarios where centerline markings are appropriate, but to make those determinations you need something affectionately referred to as, a traffic engineering study, and good luck getting one of those… ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Seems you have an abundance of cons in the community,” Archy observed. “I’m talking about the people who are against it. And the people who for it expend their time and energy being against the people who are against it. A cacophony of cons, you might call it.”

Archy has a fondness for alliteration and paused to give it full effect.

“Against what?,” I asked.

“Everything, anything,” It seems you folks are fond of the negative,” he observed.

I admitted it was a problem among humans. Hanging onto the past and while looking to the future can make the present difficult. I asked Archy if he had any advice.

“The time for advice was 25 years ago,” he said. “Now is the time to deal with what you have. It’s like Jerome K. Jerome said, “Life is not a game of chess, the victory to the most knowing; it is a game of cards, one’s hand by skill to be made the best of.”

Archy has a knack for quoting some of my favorite authors.

“Yes, old Jerome was quite the humorist,” the squirrel said. The pineapple tin scene in “Three Men and a Boat” always gives me a chuckle.”

Growing Asparagus in Your Garden

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

All-at-Once” Method: -simply put crowns in as above but fill in the trench with soil and compost all at once. If the soil is fairly loose, the spears can push through to the surface.

Some folks think that the traditional method results in stronger plants, But gardeners don’t have any issues with results from the “all-at-once method.

What to Plant: Zones 4 to 6 varieties: ‘Jersey Giant’, ‘Jersey King’, and ‘Jersey Knight’.

O, my first taste of fresh asparagus - I was in heaven.

Nothing beats that flavor, I was hooked.

Where to plant: Place the asparagus bed toward the edge of your garden, or by a fence where it will not be disturbed. Choose a site that gets full sun. well drained. Soil should be loosened to 12 to 15 inches in depth, to allow the asparagus crowns to root properly.

Asparagus is usually grown from 1-year-old plants called “crowns.” You buy crowns (roots).

How to plant: • Dig a trench of about 12 to 18 inches wide and 6 to 8 inches deep - space the trenches at least 3 feet apart.

• Soak the crowns in lukewarm water before planting.

• Next make a 2-inch-high ridge of soil along the center of the trench and place the asparagus crowns on top of the mound, spreading their roots out evenly.

• Space asparagus crowns 12 to 18 inches apart (measured from root tip to root tip)

HARVEST ASPARAGUS • Do not harvest during the first couple seasons Plant needs to make strong roots • 3rd year plants ready for harvest for 2 to 3 weeks (established plants produce longer—up to 8 weeks.)

• Check your plants every other day. Spears grow rapidly • Harvest spears 6 to 8 inches in height • Cut the spears with a sharp knife or scissors at ground level.

• Stop harvesting 3-year plants in 2-3 weeks; established beds in 8 weeks • Now ferns (tops) grow and mature, replenishing nutrients for next year’s production • Best to leave at least two or three spears on the plant through the growing season.

5 Things Dogs Need to be Happy Megan Bonifacius Certified Canine Training Specialist APDT Member Owner of Ruff Lyfe

Good Health

There are so many dog products and opportunities out there. How do you decide what your dog actually needs to be happy? There are five things: good health, physical exercise, mental stimulation, a regular routine, and clear communication.

How do you maintain good health for your dog? You need to see your vet a minimum of once a year for a physical exam, vaccines, a fecal test to check for parasites many do not cause obvious side effects - and a heartworm test, which is required to receive your dog’s heartworm prevention for the year.

You need to keep up with your dog’s dental health, too!

Many dogs end up needing expensive dental work done at the vet office. You can prevent that by using teeth cleaning products recommended by your vet or local pet store employee.

Proper grooming is a very important part of your dog’s health, too. Overgrown nails cause your dog pain! If your dog hates nail trims, a dog trainer can help you with that! If your dog has hair like poodles and others, regular grooming appointments are a must! In between grooms it is necessary to brush your dogs to prevent painful mats and to control shedding. Ask any groomer, many dogs are not getting proper grooming from new owners, especially since doodle breeds have become so popular.

Feeding a quality diet and keeping your dogs at a healthy weight can affect your dog’s lifespan! You should do your own research, speak to your vet, speak to pet store workers, and make a decision for yourself on what the best food is for your dog. Dogs are like people, what they eat really matters. Remember, if your dog does not feel physically well it will affect his/her behavior and happiness. ______________________________________________

AFTER the foliage has died back and turned brown or yellow, cut back to ground. Fertilize the bed with a 1-inch layer of rich, compost or manure topped with 3 inches of straw.

Patience: Asparagus takes 3 years to established the plants, then you can begin to harvest each spring for 20-30 years! After harvest, the ferny foliage graces your garden.

It is so pretty, I even add some of the foliage to my bouquets.

Traditional “little-by-little” method: • Cover the crowns with compost and topsoil, burying the crowns 2 inches deep. Water in.

• When spears grow to be 2 to 3 inches tall, add 2 more inches of soil to the trench, do not bury the spears completely.

• Once the spears appear As long as the soil is fairly loose, the spears won’t have a problem pushing through to the surface again through that layer of soil. Then add another 2-inch more layer of soil. Repeat until the trench is full. Mound soil lightly above spears to keep water from pooling around them while emerging.

A Bark From the Past: Henry

[Editor’s Note: The Republican’s first four-footed correspondent was Henry. A mixed breed rescue dog, Henry would make observations about being a dog in a small town. The articles, which ran in 2006 - 2010, have been languishing in the computer’s memory and we thought a new audience might enjoy some canine commentary.]

We had so much fun this week! My female human got a chance to visit with a friend of hers who is from Chicago, and she’s fun to be with! They both love animals, and that meant more belly rubs and biscuits for me, too! Anyway, this friend said that in Chicago, all pet cats and dogs have to be spayed or neutered. That’s the law!

Isn’t that a great idea? (She said that there is a special license for people who don’t want to get their pets fixed, like breeders.)

Anyway, hearing about that spay-neuter law gave me a wonderful idea. That’s going to be the next thing that the Animal Action Agenda Committee can work on. I’ve been talking to my pals in the neighborhood, and they all think it a super idea and a good cause! There are some humans who just don’t know that they should neuter their pet for its own good. Or maybe they don’t know or care that there are so many of us out there. I wish every human would go to an animal shelter or humane society and look at all the wonderful cats and dogs that are there. Many of them will never find forever homes. If more humans neutered their pets, there would be a lot fewer unwanted animals.

My female human’s friend said that, because of the spay-neuter laws, lots of the animal shelters in that area are almost no-kill shelters. There isn’t such a huge number of animals being turned in. That’s great! Just think what a difference that could make around here!

I’m going to call a meeting of the AAAC. We need to figure out some way to tell our humans that we need a spay-neuter law here. Humans just can’t understand canine or feline, so we can’t tell your alphas to make a law like that, but other humans can!

I bought 10 asparagus at the store but when I got home I realized I had 11. It was just a spare, I guess. ______________________________________________

You all come, too! Thanks!

Colletta Kosiba I was talking to Cookie about this, and she said there ought to be some spay-neuter laws for humans, too. I don’t know if that would work. By the time you know for sure which humans shouldn’t reproduce, it’s too late.

Anyway, that’s the next mission for the AAAC. Make it a law in Danville that all animal pets have to be spayed or neutered. All in favor, raise your right paw! Neat!

Thought for the Day: Even if spay-neuter laws are enacted, voluntary compliance will still be needed for them to be of any effect. It in no way diminishes the pet, and it can have long-term benefit for the animal’s health. Please spay or neuter all your pets. It may be a cliché, but it is true. If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. ______________________________________________

HAROLD “JOE” TRENT, of Danville, born July 22, 1936, peacefully passed away on April 12, 2012. His strong character and hard-working nature will be missed by his family and friends.

Joe was the only child of Herman and Blanche Trent.

He grew up on a small farm, and he loved to tell stories of working the fields as a water boy. His love for farm life continued on well past adulthood.

In 1953, he was captain of the Danville Football team, and his pride and joy was his brand new car that he earned by breeding rabbits and raising calves. After high school, he earned an Associates degree in Engineering from Purdue University, where he became an avid Boilers Fan. He was a member of the Naval Reserves and retired from Allison Gas Turbines after 24 years.

Driving the streets in high school, he caught the eye of his forever love, Mildred “Midge” English of Brownsburg. During 63 years of marriage, they went on European adventures in Budapest and Prague, put on talent shows as retirees in Spanish Lakes, Florida, were big winners at the casino, and watched countless John Wayne movies. Joe endlessly beat his family at the annual Christmas Cribbage tournament, and was skilled at other various card games. He enjoyed fishing and later shuffleboard . He was often found working in his garage with a pipe, working on clocks and hurricane lamps, and enjoyed collecting coins.

He was active in the Jaycees, a service organization, where he served as President and National Jaycee Senator. He appreciated dinners with family and sharing time with friends at the American Legion.

He is survived by his four children, Amy Bain (Ken), Arlene Kline, Lana Trent, and John Trent (Tracie); grandchildren, Matthew Howe (Ashley), Daniel Bain, Molly Bain, and Samuel “Sam” Trent, and three precious great-granddaughters, Kyra, Elyse, and Madelyn Howe.

His values and virtues will be forever present in his family.

Thank you Dad. We love you.

Power lines crisscross our countryside, bringing the benefits of electricity. But storms or accidents can knock them from their perch and put them on the ground or within reach. Just because they’re down doesn’t mean they’re dead.

“Keeping your distance from downed power lines and knowing what to do if you see one are the first steps to safety,” said Chris Gearld, Safety Director of Hendricks Power Cooperative. ”There is no way of knowing whether a power line is still live, and if you happen to touch one that is, consequences could be deadly.”

If you see a downed power line, the first step is to move away from it and anything touching it. Keep a distance of 35 feet because the ground around downed power lines may be energized. But if you are in a car, the first step is to stay put.

If power lines fall on the car, the car can become energized. People who are safe inside will remain safe — as long as they stay put. Opening a door and stepping out can kill the person leaving the car. Even if power lines are not on the vehicle, they could be hanging low. Fallen power lines are hard to see against trees and foliage, especially at night. Anyone stepping from a car might walk into an energized line and also be electrocuted.

Here are some other basic tips for safety:= • If you see someone in direct or indirect contact with a downed line, DO NOT touch him or her. Call 911 for assistance.

• NEVER attempt to move a downed power line or anything else in contact with it using an object such as a broom or stick.

• If your vehicle comes in contact with a downed power line while you’re in the vehicle, stay inside the car. Call 911 or honk your horn to get help. Tell bystanders to stay away from the vehicle.

• If you must exit the vehicle for life-threatening reasons, such as if the car has caught on fire — jump out and clear from it, making sure to land with your feet together. Make sure you do not touch the car and the ground at the same time. Then, shuffle away with your feet touching until you reach a safe distance.

Misty Eyes Animal Rescue Hosts 10th Annual ‘Raise the Woof’ Fundraiser

Misty Eyes plans to add three additional buildings to the property on Dan Jones Rd. _______________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson It’s been an exciting year for the non-profit animal rescue, Misty Eyes.

Their annual spring fundraising event, Raise the Woof was cancelled last year due to COVID but the organization was able to recoop all lost funds due to overwhelming support and kindness.

“We were two weeks away from the event when COVID hit, so we had to cancel,” Co-founder Renee Harlor said. “But 100 percent of the ticket costs were donated by those that had purchased one and every sponsor donated their funds as well. It really showed community support and their love for the animals.”

This year, Raise the Woof will once again be an in-person event, from 3 p.m. for VIP ticket holders and 4 p.m. for the public on May 16 at the Avon Wedding Barn.

“We chose to delay the event a bit. Typically, we have it in March but thought in order to have it indoor/outdoor and more space, we chose a later date in May and the Avon Wedding Barn to have better airflow,” Harlor said.

Raise the Woof’s theme this year is “Their Amazing Journey” and will include a video of cats available for adoption and 8 dogs at the event for visiting.

“During the VIP hour, guests will be able to visit with four of the dogs we’ve rescued that have had a pretty rough go of it and then we’ll hear from four dog owners and their journey to adopting their pet,” Harlor said.

Beginning at 4 p.m., guests will enjoy live music by former Colts linebacker Tony Walker and the 2nd Half Band, food donated by BJ’s Brewhouse and dessert provided by All About Time. There will also be a cash bar and silent auction.

“It’s just a celebration for our animals and what we’re accomplishing. Proceeds go into our building fund. We’re really excited about breaking ground this year. For every one animal we save, we have to turn two away so this is an important part of being able to save more animals,” Harlor said.

Those in Avon have probably noticed the Misty Eyes building at 616 Dan Jones Road, but there is a big plan for the property

beyond the current building.

“We ran into some extensive drainage issues that held us up a bit, but that’s all been taken care of and we will be going before the Town in the next 90 days or so to request approval on the final building plans,” Harlor said. “We hope to break ground this year and see Kitty City built within the next 12 months.”

Kitty City is the first building on the list of the plan, allowing for an additional 400 cats per year to be rescued. Misty Eyes has taken a unique approach to their facilities, taking care to avoid cages and unhealthy environments for the animals.

“We’re proud that our animals are not in cages,” Harlor explained. “We’re going to have 4 x 8 foot suites with a window for each cat. We want a cheerful approach and a happy environment for the animals. The cats will have an indoor and outdoor play area and we’re really focused on their overall mental health and quality of life.”

Once Kitty City is open and operational, Misty Eyes plans build Canine

Country, a similar environment for their dogs and an Educational Building.

Harlor estimates the entire project will take about five years to complete.

Not only will the new buildings will allow Misty Eyes to save many more rescues, they plan to continue their foster program and are working to educate the community.

“We want to be put out of business,” Harlor said.

“We want to educate about spay and neuter, abuse and neglect. We have a newsletter and hold junior volunteer programming.”

The volunteer programs offer classes for grades K-10, to help educate young people about caring for animals, fundraising for non-profits, future careers in animal care and more.

The current building is open on weekends to the public and classes only during the week, though they regularly host events for the community to come out and visit with the animals and support the cause.

From 5-7 p.m. April 20, Misty Eyes will host April Showers at the Avon facility. Donate kitten supplies and enjoy a tour of the facility and time to meet and greet with adoptable kittens. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. Register online for the event.

To foster a dog or cat, email foster@mistyeyes. org and a representative will walk you through the steps. Visit https://www. mistyeyes.org to purchase tickets to Raise the Woof or for more information.

Raise the Woof has sold out in recent years, and are on sale now until capacity has been met.

Council Approves Annexation Postponed Rezoning for Horton Project The April 7 meeting of the Danville Town Council once again met in Bosstick Gym, where the sound was somewhat better than before, but was recorded on mute making playback an exercise in futility.

The meeting was gaveled open and continued in the following acts: Act I: Work Study Town Council convened a Work Study to discuss the Town’s Architectural Standards in relation to vinyl siding.

With all the new construction coming to town, Council President Tom Pado and Vice President Winters wanted to discuss eliminating or limiting vinyl as a choice for exterior siding in Danville.

A slide presentation was made Todd Pyatt, past president of Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis (BAGI), followed by questions from the Council.

Act II: Public Comment The regular meeting opned to an audience smaller in numbers but just as passionate in their plea for the Danville Town Council to turn down the Miles PUD on the west side of Danville.

Retired attorney, longtime Danville resident and crowd favorite, Greg Black once again stated his opinion that approving the PUD would be irresponsible due to the already dangerous traffic situation in Danville.

Jessica Eaton Flohr, prolific Danville Chatter contributor and main organizer of the remonstrance also took the opportunity to persuade the Council to turn down the PUD rezone.

“I don’t have anything against development in Danville I just think it should happen on the east side,” said Jessica.

Mrs. Eaton Flohr lives outside of Danville but close to the potential PUD. Joe Wilson, resident of Danville and owner of the liquid crematorium company, Bio-Response Solutions, added his two cents at the meeting.

“I moved my business from Speedway to get away from all the apartments and rental houses. I have a $2.5 million dollar investment in Danville and I don’t want to move but I will,” he threatened if the PUD were to be approved.

Act III: The Rest of the Story Ordinance 5-2021, requesting rezoning of the Quail West property was voted a continuance on request of the petitioner.

Ordinance 4-2021, the controversial for the annexation for D.R. Horton/Miles Farm Property was approved, 4-1, with Council President Tom Pado voting nay.

Ordiance 6-2021, for rezoning the D.R. Horton/Miles Farm property for Planned Unit Development was voted to be sent back to the Plan Commission for adjustments During the last two Town Council meetings, the petitioner agreed to some changes and additional commitments to the Planned Unit Development (PUD). Since these changes were not seen by the Plan Commission, Town attorney Chou-il Lee recommended that the PUD be sent back to the Plan commission.

The bulk of the remonstrators took up the option from the Council and left the meeting as soon as the vote was made to send the petitioner back to the Plan Commission for the rezoning request. While professing a love for Danville, few felt enough love to stay for the remainder of the last act.

Police Chief Jim Hilton presented a capital expenditure request of $11,815 for the purchase of a second K-9 for the Department and training of its handler. The K-9 will be trained in narcotics detection, patrol, and trailing. The monies used are from public donations made to the Department. The request was approved unanimously.

The Town Manager Mark Morgan asked for direction on whether to initiate a mask mandate following the Governor’s lifting of the statewide mandate. After a discussion the consensus was to make mask wearing optional.

Town Manager Morgan presented a replica of the Indiana Lyons ABA Regional Championship trophy and other memorabilia given by the team in gratitude for the Town’s support of the County’s only professional sports team. ______________________________________________

Civility in Civics “It’s too much to expect that we should all agree, but it is not too much to expect discipline and unvarying civility.” – John Howard “Years ago on my radio show, I used to say, ‘I’m a conservative, but I’m not in a bad mood about it.’ I’ve always believed that civility in heavy doses is essential in self-government.” - Mike Pence Every week since 1890, The Republican newspaper has been covering those changes in Hendricks County.

Over the course of the last 121 years, the paper has long recognized the hard work of elected officials when having to make hard decisions for a community.

While the paper has sometimes disagreed with those decisions, the paper has a deep respect for those having to make those hard choices.

Right now Danville the Danville Council is faced with such a decision. Do they approve a large project on the west side of town because they believe it is best for their town or do they just say “No” because of strong opposition?

With no evidence of wrongdoing (sound familiar?) the elected officials of Danville are being accused of “dirty dealing” by their neighbors, friends and even family.

The newspaper does not condone these personal accusations and misinformation without evidence, and publicly supports the integrity of Danville’s Town Staff, elected officials and commission appointees.

These attacks are slowly creating a terrifying consequence; those serving for the benefit of the community will no longer want to serve and will be replaced by those making decisions for the benefit of the individual.

Please remember, those serving in your local government are your neighbors. They are getting their groceries at Kroger for the neighborhood block party. They are at the sectionals rooting for your son to hit that game winning free-throw against Tri-West. They are crying with you over the death of a loved one and they are doing the chicken dance at your daughter’s wedding.

With social media being used to push misinformation, lies, personal attacks, insults, and slander on the target of the day, it has created an unhealthy level of distrust in community leaders and each other.

What was once saved for the biggest of political stages, distrust is now reaching the level of even the smallest communities. We are better than that. Aren’t we?

Letters To The Editor To the Editor: Here is letter I am sending to Plan Commission who recommended March 10 approval of Miles Farm planned unit development by council. But it is impossible to make the requisite finding the commission implicitly made that the development will not worsen traffic congestion. It will.

In no manner does our ordinance permit the commission to recommend this project. The commission should make Horton the developer make Horton’s traffic analysis first. We all know what such analysis will show: 36 is too crowded now, let alone later, were Miles Farm to be approved. It cannot be approved! That would endanger us.

Thank you, Greg Black Danville Dear Mr. Thompson & Colleagues: This letter asks President Thompson to lead The Commission to comply with town law & procedure in dealing with Miles Farm. I respectfully submit it is common knowledge & opinion throughout Danville & among those who work & travel here we already have a traffic problem in U. S. Highway 36, aka Main Street. This project would worsen the problem greatly.

I live near the Miles Farm planned unit development proposed by D.R. Horton Builders. Danville Citizens For Responsible Development, a group I belong to, opposes approval of Miles Farm until among other things U.S. 36 either is widened or bypassed to completion by The Indiana Department of Transportation. Approval any earlier is dangerous.

Unlike Avon, Brownsburg, Plainfield, Danville west of Kroger has no four lane road. A 1,200 unit residential development producing around 2,000 vehicles in a commuter suburb will endanger us, as things are.

Town Ordinance Section 15 anticipates Miles Farm will “offer the advantage” of counteracting” congestion on streets.” Sub-section 15.1 D. The ordinance at Sub-section 15.5 A. 4 requires a developer “if requested by ... the Plan Commission” to provide traffic analysis that studies ‘the impact caused (by Miles Farm) and any measures proposed to accommodate that impact (that) may be required.”

Sub-section 15.6 A. 4-6 & 8 requires you to consider (whether) the “proposal will (injure) ... the public ... safety, & general welfare,” whether the (Miles) design” ... provides adequate control over vehicular traffic.”

Continuing, Sub-section 15.6 A. 6 requires you to consider the “relationship and compatibility of the proposed plan (of Miles Farm) to the adjacent properties & neighborhood, & whether (Miles) ... would substantially interfere with the use or diminish the value of adjacent properties & neighborhoods.”

Continuing, Sub-section 15.6 A.8 requires you to find (as I read it) the “proposal (of Miles Farm) will not cause undue traffic congestion,” & can be served by what exists, including today’s U.S. 36.

In March you recommended approval of Miles Farms as proposed, to include an implicit finding Miles Farm would not cause undue traffic congestion. Yet Horton itself has conceded Miles Farm will! Horton’s solution?

Wait for INDOT to fix the problem once we build it!

Ladies, gentlemen, this is not our law. The Horton plan to await a state solution is unacceptable & dangerous as well as unlawful.

It appears neither you nor Horton analyzed the impact traffic Miles Farm as proposed will have. Horton essentially admitted this by saying INDOT will solve the traffic problem by reacting to it. Thus, we must revert to square one to comply with Section 15 as to Miles Farm. There is no choice. Here are my requests I believe the ordinance requires of you.

1. Find the proposal would cause undue traffic congestion. It would not counteract traffic congestion, quite the opposite.

2. Find Miles Farm could not be served adequately by U.S. 36 & County Road 200 West.

3. Find Miles Farm incompatible with its surrounds (Clear Creek, neighbors to the west, north, east, the four schools within a half mile or so) & would substantially interfere with the use of such surrounding properties as well as the value thereof. {Restricted use always cheapens value.} 4. Find Miles Farm would not control its vehicular traffic. Thus Miles Farm would harm safety & general welfare.

5. With view toward future petitions to subdivide, request & require Horton to provide traffic analysis addressing the impact on traffic Miles Farm would have in the nine square mile area of which the proposal’s land is epicenter, & list any measures Horton plans to accommodate such impact. {Lost here to date has been the burden our ordinance casts upon Horton as developer to solve or at least combat traffic snarls its development would create. Horton dodges its duty. Do not let this happen!} We, your constituents, want to help as you discharge your duty to all arms & facets of Danville. Please honor these requests.

Thank you.
