Sheltering Wings Receives Grant

Sheltering Wings Center for Women was among 46 nonprofits awarded federal grants to improve services for survivors of family violence and sexual assault.

The grants were awarded by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (CJI), through the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act program with American Rescue Plan funds.

“With this funding, we will be helping organizations provide critical care support to individuals who may be trying to escape from an abusive situation or were just victimized,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI Executive Director.

“For us, it’s essential to have the resources in place to, not only prevent family violence, but also accommodate and support survivors in their time of need.”

Sheltering Wings will receive $32, 817 out of a total of nearly $3.5 million in grants. ______________________________________________

Community Crossing Grants

Governor Eric J. Holcomb and Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Commissioner Mike Smith announced 224 Indiana cities, towns, and counties received a combined $107.8 million in state matching funds for local road projects through Community Crossings, a component of the Governor’s Next Level Roads program.

“Continuing to modernize and enhance our transportation infrastructure is critical to the economic success in and around our incredible communities and ultimately Hoosiers’ prosperity itself,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Community Crossings makes immediate impacts on improving local roads and bridges across Indiana. Those improvements translate to a safe, reliable, robust transportation infrastructure that benefits residents and business in every corner of our state and every place in between.”

Community Crossing Grant recipients in Hendricks County are: Avon, $977,269.79 Brownsburg, 1,000,000.00 Coatesville, $51,255.75 Danville, $357,019.99 Hendricks Co, $677,994.50 Lizton, $182,564.74 North Salem, $56,554.94 __________

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: I knew a young woman who enjoyed walking barefoot through horse manure.

We always thought that was a good way to get tetanus. Back when, folks called it lockjaw.

We believed horse manure and an open cut was a bad combination.

Horses contracted lockjaw as readily as humans. They never did learn where best to step.

Lady Patch, “promising two-year-old filly” sired by Dan Patch, died in 1902 of lockjaw in Oxford.

Readers in 1911 learned the best way to dispatch a suffering horse required at least a .38 caliber slug fired three inches above the swirl found slightly higher than between the eyes. With that advice, none need practice.

Sylvanus Shipman contracted lockjaw in 1877 following a tooth extraction. He was “critical,” but managed to hang on another 50 years.

A Rising Sun woman died of lockjaw in 1881 from “a wound received in the face while taking up flowers in her garden.”

Nine Philadelphia boys, ages 10-16 died in 1880, the Union reported, following July 4 toy pistol explosions, each injured in the hands and contracting tetanus.

Twenty-three years later The Republican’s editor Julian Hogate editorialized about “nine small boys” from an “eastern town” who died from lockjaw after Christmas toy pistol mishaps. “But what do you think of the sanity of any parent who put a toy pistol into the stocking of his hopeful son?”

Hmmm. Nine boys, eastern town. Sounds familiar.

Later that year, he wrote, “As society has demonstrated that it is not strong enough to suppress the toy pistol, the only thing left to do is to discover a cure for lockjaw.”

Soon after, “Although a Chicago doctor announces that he has discovered a cure for lockjaw by injecting a solution of calcium and potassium salts, it will be just as well to restrict the use of the toy pistol before the uproarious Fourth comes around again.”

Methinks Julian never found a toy pistol in his stocking.

A Terre Haute man died “under peculiar circumstances” in 1890 after injuring his hand in a runaway accident. A dog licked the fresh bruise. The man suddenly took ill and was confined to bed, “the symptoms indicating hydrophobia, tetanus or lockjaw.

“He suffered untold agony.” Folks believed the dog lick caused his death.

That year a New Albany man stepped on a rusty nail and though the wound healed, lockjaw set in and he died. Around the same time, Delaware County’s Squire Frimple scratched an arm while killing a diseased hog, “and is supposed to have inoculated himself with virus.” He soon died.

Simeon Tinder’s son shot himself in the foot in 1892 and died of lockjaw three weeks later.

The Republican offered treatment hints in 1893: use turpentine for lockjaw. Orally?

Use saltwater for falling hair and quicklime in water for poison. Sugar moistened with vinegar was recommended for hiccups.

A Shelby County woman died in 1894 after running a needle into her foot.

A Fisher’s Station man died in 1901 a week after he stepped on a rusty nail.

Mid-1904, an old French cure surfaced: mash half a beet into pulp and apply it to the wound as a poultice. “The juice of the red beet will cure lockjaw. It draws the poison out and prevents it from spreading.”

And Ivermectin works with Covid.

A ricocheting .22 bullet buried itself in Albert McClain’s cheek in 1915. Dr. Louis Armstrong extracted the spent round and administered lockjaw antitoxin, likely at his private Danville hospital.

A four-year-old Hadley boy fell on a cornstalk in 1917 and the resulting infected wound caused lockjaw. Given antitoxin, he was rushed to Indianapolis’ Deaconess Hospital, northwest corner of West Ohio and North Senate Avenue.

During World War I, readers learned one $50 Liberty Bond was enough to provide antitoxin to save 139 wounded men from lockjaw. It would pay our war bill for one-tenth of a second.

Pittsboro’s Newton Holtsclaw died in 1918 from lockjaw. An Indianapolis streetcar had crushed his foot several years earlier; the fatal infection entered through the imperfectly healed injury.

A tetanus antiserum was developed early in the 1890s and vaccine in the mid-1920s.

If it was developed today, certain folks would reject it, citing their Constitutional right to smear themselves with mashed beets, or denounce lockjaw as a hoax.

Publisher’s Point of View jerry@TheRepublicanNewspaper.com

Greenhorn

We were traveling in Wisconsin shortly after buying this newspaper in the summer of 2019. We stopped in at every small town newspaper we could find. I would spend as much time asking questions as they would let me. Lots of questions. Eventually, my wife realized she would enjoy the day more if she stayed in the car while I worked on my newspaper education.

At one place, Baraboo, I think it was, I found a newspaper that also printed several other newspapers in central Wisconsin. Some were full color and some were all black and white like The Republican. That got me asking a barrage of questions about color. The stoic longtime newspaper veteran patiently listened to my Gatling gun series of questions without a word. Then he put his hand up to stop me mid question, “Son, are you babbling on about color because you think it will sell more newspapers?”

Stunned, I answered, “Yes.” “Color is not what sells newspapers, Opie,” he went on. “Content sells newspapers. Get good content and you will sell papers.”

So, that’s what we did. Now that the newspaper is growing leaps and bounds, we are adding a little color. Just a little. Our bedrock is and will continue to be content.

Do You Read Court News?

You should. Needing a general contractor for work on a building on the square in Danville, I reached out to a gentleman that was referred to me. He heard what I needed, went to the building the next day to get measurements, called the day after that with some questions and said he would get up with me after the weekend to discuss the job. I was impressed. He was on it.

Monday comes, then Tuesday. On Wednesday I reached out to see if he was able to meet. “Sorry, I was in a pretty bad wreck this weekend. Truck is totaled but I promise I will get to you as soon as I can,” was the reply.

“Take your time,” I responded, “I hope you are 6 East Main Street ~ P.O. Box 149 okay.”

Our Three Cubs will be on hand at the craft fair to share their variety of printed mugs, jewelry and t-shirts. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Cascade High School will host their first annual street fair from 5-10 p.m. May 6 at the high school. Craft vendors are invited to reserve a booth for $25 which includes an outdoor space, table, chair and advertising space.

Each vendor will also donate a door prize for shoppers to win throughout the evening and it’s all to benefit a good cause.

Teachers Megan Pugh and Ashley Muller mentor the Students Against Destructive Decisions (S.A.D.D.) club each Tuesday morning and the group works to help other students make better decisions.

“We’re raising money for Every 15 Minutes. It’s a mock car crash simulated in front of the school and students learn about the reason for the crash; if it’s due to drunk driving or drug use etc.,” Pugh said. “One person has been killed in the ‘accident’ and the fire department bring out the jaws of life and open up the car.”

Throughout the day, every 15 minutes, one student leaves the classroom, giving a real-time visual for students to see the severity of a student killed every 15 minutes due to a poor decision that cost them their life.

“We’re doing this in the spring of 2023,” Pugh said. “It takes a lot of community involvement and there’s a lot of cost that goes along with it, but the impact is incredible.”

Vendors range from Chicky’s Cakes Candies and Crafts to Pap’s Metal Art and items will range from jewelry to home décor.

By: Olivia O’Neal The Avon Public Library is currently displaying a collection of trypillian eggs—traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs with beautifully detailed designs. The display features actual trypillian eggs donated by Barbara Hammond, a poster of trypillian eggs by the Ukrainian artist Halyna Kovalenko, a history of the trypillian eggs, magazines, a chart showing the meaning of the different colors and different symbols used in trypillian art, and a display of bird eggs in sizes ranging from quail to ostrich eggs.

A variety of symbols can be found painted on Trypillian eggs: horses which symbolize wealth and prosperity, spirals which symbolize protection, wheat which symbolizes abundance, and rosettes which symbolize love, charity, and goodwill. These are just some of the many images that decorate Trypillian art. The eggs are painted delicately with oil paint and beeswax. Painting such small symbols on such a small item requires much skill.

Trypillian art began on dishes and was a notable part of the Chernyakiv culture, practiced by a past culture that was practiced in modern-day Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, and Belarus. The painting, done using oil paints, was later used to decorate Easter eggs. Much of these eggs have been found buried in graves as was the custom when someone died. With the formation of the Soviet Union in 1922, the art of Trypillian eggs was banned as an attempt to rid the Ukrainians of their culture. But the beautiful artform has been preserved throughout the years and the Trypillian eggs have remained a symbol of Ukrainian culture surviving. ______________________________________________

Prepped for the Future

By: Helee Adkins, Development Coordinator Hendricks County Senior Services

In Lieu of Flowers

The statement “in Lieu of Flowers” is something we are seeing more often and can used for families as a means of honoring their loved one’s memory as a replacement for flower arrangements at a funeral home. While a space full of flowers can be beautiful and fragrant, it can also be overwhelming and difficult as each person mourns differently. Modern funeral etiquette is to honor the family’s request, usually stated in the obituary.

The information shared in the obituary should be concise, containing very specific instructions. Hybrid requests for flowers and donations are common and completely acceptable. When a donation is sent to the requested organization, you should include a name and contact information so a receipt can be sent. In addition, if you have a specific family member you wish to be notified of the donation, that should be included in the note. At Hendricks County Senior Services, we never share the amount donated with the family. We send a letter to the family sharing the names and addresses of each donor who sent a memorial gift. We find this is very helpful to the family so they can write their own thank you cards.

While nothing completely prepares us for the loss of a loved one, planning conversations are very helpful to help navigate the process when death occurs. Take the time to let your family members know your final wishes, including any directions regarding donations to a favorite charity or organization.

Older adults who do not have a will (or want to have their will updated) can meet with an elder law attorney at Hendricks County Senior Services. An attorney from the Elder Law Project (Indiana Legal Services) comes to the Center each month to assist seniors who lack the resource to hire an attorney. Appointments are made by calling 317745-4303. ______________________________________________

Senior Center Food Pantry

Hendricks County Senior Services offers a food pantry for Hendricks County seniors, including perishable, nonperishable, and hygiene products. The food pantry is open by appointment. Please call 317-745-4303 to make an appointment to come to the food pantry.

Just An Observation

By Janet Beam

The Trash Man Cometh When everyone was staying home during the pandemic, there were some folks who were deemed being in “essential jobs.” That would include police, firefighters, paramedics, ambulance drivers, nurses, and doctors. Let’s not forget that right up there with them, was the trash man.

We are certainly a trashy people and I feel the trash men are the unsung heroes of our day. No matter the weather, the trash has to be picked up. They are out there in the broiling heat picking up our discards. Then there is the freezing, blowing cold and snow of winter. Trash takes no holiday.

Do you remember the strikes in New York City when there was no trash pickup for weeks? What a smelly horrible mess! Trash bags were piled high along the streets.

The first known trash men were in Britain during the 1350’s and they were called “rakers.” They were also tasked with the horrible job of picking up all the dead bodies during the Black Plague. Statistics show that the job of a trash man is one of the most dangerous. They continually have to deal with broken glass, medical waste, chemicals, dog attacks, inhaling dust, chemical fumes, and other unpleasant smells everyday all day. Not to mention the danger of traffic accidents and all the heavy lifting.

It seems like everyone is quick to remember the postman, the delivery drivers et al. at gift-giving time, but I think we should all remember those gentlemen who pick up our trash every week. Have you ever given a thank you to your trash man or a gift at Christmas or any other time of the year? Probably not, these are folks we all seem to take for granted. Let’s rectify that and remember that the “trash man cometh.”

Just an observation. ______________________________________________

Compressed

We are proud to introduce a new Voice. Laquinta Salary will be sharing her thoughts biweekly in The Republican. Learn more about Laquinta in upcoming issues.

By Laquinta Salary When speaking with some colleagues at work, I realized that some may not understand what life is like for someone like me. Each day I go out into the world, I have to make sure that I am “appropriate” in my presentation and mannerism. Aside from the regular societal rules, there are those expected, conforming rules, I and others, must abide.

I’ve had to make sure my hair was acceptable by European standards. If my hair is braided, twisted, or too poufy it draws attention. The “feelers” arrive out of nowhere. I can remember one instance where I stopped counting after the 5th phantom hand went up the back of my neck, into my hair. Some hand owners were people I knew, some I weren’t. All of them surprised at my uncomfortable, creeped-out reaction.

I’ve had to dress professionally but stay away from certain ‘triggering” colors or apparel. Red or blue colors derive “gang” jokes, donning a hoodie makes you a criminal, and anything that covers your face is absolutely “suspicious” in mixed company.

To be tame is king. I can’t show big emotion other than happiness. If I’m sad, I’m unapproachable. When I’m confident I’ve been told I’m pushy and intimidating. When I’m angry, which is a very normal emotion, I’m terrifying and need to be handled or sent to HR. I have to wear a smile to make the masses comfortable with my presence.

There have been many smiles over tears. Mostly, even when you do everything being asked of you, it may not be enough. It’s tiring to say the least.

I’m not whole in these places. I’m compressed and subdued for the comfort of others. It’s not a choice, it’s survival. It’s necessary and expected. I’ve adapted. ______________________________________________

Voices A Note From Bee

I consider the biggest tip to be to save a little out of each pay check. If possible have it taken out of your pay check and sent to your saving account at your bank. Obviously you need money to be able to buy bargains. We are all seeing prices rise on every thing.

A friend told me recently what a good bargain hunter I am. I try not to pay full price for anything or even 50% off. Most people do not or cannot take time to bargain shop. I am retired and it’s kind of a game to me to see how cheap I can get things. A lot of times I miss out on bargains because I wait too long to go back and check to see if something is reduced more. I realize that and have learned to accept it.

Many many years ago I read a tip that we only need half of a napkin. So I cut all our napkins in half. My husband’s boss happened to drop in and we offered him coffee and cookies. I was so embarrassed when I had to tell him why we had only half napkins. I discarded that tip immediately. I hope my tips are helpful. ● Go to garage sales those are the very best places to save money. ● Use coupons ● At Christmas time buy several restaurant gift cards and get bonus cards ● I read a lot. My first choice is to get a library book.

The Brownsburg library on the 2nd Tuesday of each month offers a bag of books for $1. You do not need to be a member of the library. I also trade books with friends. ● Goodwill I think has 30% off for seniors on Wednesday. On Sunday they have quite a few .99 clothes. ● Buy good shoes for work so later in life you don’t have feet problems. ● Shop Dollar Tree especially for greeting cards. They are only .50 or $1.00. ● Always check clearance at any store. ● MCL has .99 for a slice of pie on Thursdays. This is not all pieces of pie just certain ones. There is no limit and you don’t have to buy anything else. ● Lowes in Brownsburg has great clearance prices on bedraggled plants that just need a little TLC. ● After a holiday you can get holiday things for at least 50% off and if really lucky 90% off. ● I always have a bouquet of flowers in house because Krogers reduces their bouquets at least half when they get bedraggled. ● Often if you pay cash to an independent business they will give you a discount.

Ok, I have found all these bargains and saved all this money. What do I do now?

I have a friend who still works and I buy things for her grandchildren. She pays me back.

I give food to food pantry.

I have grandsons who have just moved into their first apartment. They can use some of my finds. Of course I keep some of the finds for myself.

Happy hunting and saving.

Finding Your Way in Danville

By Betty Bartley The earliest wayfinding system in Danville was to ask somebody. Usually a citizen tilting back on a chair or atop a cracker barrel in front of a store was assumed to have such knowledge and the leisure to dispense it. That resident, the “waysayer,” would give a precise route to the destination. Unfortunately for the person seeking their way, the directions would be given in terms of the names of people and places along the route that were familiar to the waysayer, but would be Greek to out-of-towners and unnecessary for the locals, who already knew how to get to there in the first place.

“Turn left at Fat John Matlock’s place, past Doc White’s office, straight on past Keeney’s livery and over towards Bucktown.”

Fortunately, there were an abundance of waysayers, and the route could be found by walking a short distance and asking again and again, repeating the process until the destination was within sight of the final waysayer, who would simply point and say, “Yonder.”

This waysayer method worked so well, that over a period of time, as people moved away and places changed, the assumption was that the original directions needed only slight modification. “Go two blocks north to where Park Ayres used to live, then east to where the brick factory was before it burnt.”

So successful was the waysayer system, Danville citizens prided themselves on their ignorance of the proper names of the streets, a knowledge they considered so superfluous that physical street signs were unknown in the town. Only a stranger, or a student at the college, would make the mistake of asking where a particular street was located.

In the early 1900’s, as concrete sidewalks were added, tradition of ignorance gave way, and the first street signs were installed. As the citizens of Danville pulled them selves out of the mud and strolled along the new concrete sidewalks, the signs were placed in the walks themselves.

Recorded in the Danville Town Council minutes for 1907 are the specifications followed by the contractor installing the new sidewalks: “After sprinkling with white sand ...the contractor shall impress in the walk, at intersecting streets, with sharp-faced letters, the names of the street intersected and the name of the street the improvement is on.”

The waysaying tradition still exists for many Danville residents, who will effortless tell out-of-towners that something is “next to the Basket Shop” or “across from Danners” when both businesses have been gone for decades.

3 Steps You Can Take for Your Personal Growth As the Spring season of growth begins to bloom, I like to reflect on what areas in my life-garden may need tending. We often think about personal growth as something that just “happens” to us. But in reality, it requires our active participation.

In fact you can even pursue personal growth, the same way a gardener pursues a bloom or harvest. The seeds have likely been planted in you already. They just need your attention and your commitment. Here are three reasonable and meaningful steps you can take for your personal growth this week.

1) Write down and commit to one goal related to changing a bad habit. Biting your nails, smoking, yelling at your kids, drinking a little too much per sitting – whatever your bad habit is, think about one small step you could take toward changing it. Then, write that step down as a “SMART” goal (Specific, Measurable, Adaptive, Realistic, Time-bound) and commit yourself to accomplishing that step. You may not kick the habit altogether, but part of growth in incremental change. Cutting back here, moving forward there – this is still positive progress!

2) Listen, read, or view a reliable piece of media representing one perspective or opinion you typically disagree with, and do so with an open mind and heart.

Let’s face it, nobody likes to interact with the opposite “team” – whoever “they” are to you. These are divided times to say the least. But a great way to grow your compassion and tolerance toward those who think differently than you do is to simply provide an opportunity for yourself to hear their perspective all the way through, in their own words. Not for the purpose of scrutiny, not for the purpose of further disagreement, and certainly not for the purpose of misuse or abuse – but rather, do so simply to hear and learn. You may well still disagree, but you can disagree kindly and maturely, knowing you have at the very least learned the truth about your proverbial opposite’s perspective from their own mouths.

3) Schedule a coffee-date with your mentor. If you don’t have a mentor, ask the one person you feel you trust the most (who isn’t your significant other) if they may be willing. Having a person in your life who has a little more lived experience than you do, someone who is willing to speak into your situations and emotions with third-person wisdom and clarity, is one of the greatest tools in your toolbox for personal growth. More often than not, our mentors can see things that are happening in our blind spots and help us to acknowledge and address them in a way that is compassionate and helpful.

If you put these three steps into practice this week, I guarantee you will see some little bit of positive growth in your life. You might be surprised by what starts blooming! ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “There’ a vibe shift at the Squirrel Salon,” Archy said with a hint of frustration.

It wasn’t like Archy to badmouth his fellow rodents, so I asked him what happened.

“They’ve been eavesdropping on the Internet,” me muttered. “They want to start a chatter group” The concept made me a bit uneasy, although I couldn’t say why.

“Some of the members are tired of discussing the classics and debating existential questions,” he continued.

“They say they want to experience instant gratification and generally bask in their own opinions instead of trying to communicate them to others.”

I asked for an example.

“Oscar thinks we’re thinking too much and we should go with our feelings,” he said. “I tried to tell him that feelings are no substitute for reason, but he said I was making him uncomfortable.”

I wondered if this was the squirrel equivalent of a moral panic and if Archy considered telling them all to snap out of it.

“Don’t think I haven’t!” he said, reading my thoughts.

“But it wouldn’t solve the problem. The think the chatter group would boost their egos without having do any intellectual heavy lifting.”

“Like an echo chamber,” I said.

“Exactly,” the squirrel replied. “What do you do you when humans act this way? Raise your hopes or lower your expectations?”

“Both,” I answered. “And at the same time.

Exploring Hendricks County

Spring wildlflowers make their appearance. ___________________________________________________

Morgan-Monroe Spring in Indiana! Cold and snowy one day, warm and sunny the next. I’m not one to let a sunny, warm day go by without enjoying it. After the cruel April Fools’ joke of snow, two days later, when the sun appeared and the temperatures rose above 55, John and I hit the trails.

Our destination was Morgan-Monroe State Forest near Martinsville.

After checking in on the Indiana State Nature Passport app, we enjoyed our picnic lunch and drove around some of the forest roads taking in the sites.

As we topped a hill, a statue caught our eyes in the Pleasant View Cemetery.

We had to stop to admire the elaborate headstone.

The memorial was for two Unusual tombstone at the brothers who died in 1919.

Pleasantville cemeter, near World War I ended in No- Unionville, Ind. vember the year before.

Did they die of battle injuries? Spanish Flu? Did they make it home to loved ones before passing? I don’t know their stories. I wish I did. Their monument is impressive.

John and I continued our drive and eventually parked at the trailhead to Rock Shelter via Low Gap Trail. Rock Shelter Trail shares a segment with the 9.8- mile backcountry Low Gap Trail and the 40-mile rugged Tecumseh Trail. Changing our shoes, we began our paltry 3-mile loop.

Rated as “moderate,” the first half-mile or so is a gravel/large stone road. We seemed to have walked the loop backward because we met several groups going in the other direction.

Turning off the roadbed, our trail narrowed and we entered the Sweedy Hollow Nature Preserve area within the state forest. The trail wound through the woods and crossed the creek at least twice. Along the way, I stopped several times to admire the wildflowers. The Spring Beauty and Cutleaf Toothwort were everywhere! A few Bloodroot and Rue Anemone were blooming. Without the flowers, I couldn’t tell if it was Dutchman’s Breeches or Squirrel Corn plants growing beside the trail. (My handy-dandy telephone app, SEEK, identified them as Dutchman’s Breeches.) Our path followed the stream bed.

Above us, a huge rock jutted over an indention. This was our destination, Rock Shelter.

The naturally formed Rock shelter at Morgan Monroe State Forest. ___________________________________________________

We took a few minutes to explore the hollow and then began our winding climb back to the top. Once again, our trail changed to a gravel roadbed and the last quarter-mile was the paved Hike/Bike Trail.

What an enjoyable way to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon!

Letters To The Editor To the Editor There is currently a bill in the state house that aims to increase the already $1 billion of tax dollars that has gone to private schools. They aim to increase the voucher amount to as much as $7,000 per child in the form of a debit card they can spend on just about anything remotely education related.

I used to feel that it was my responsibility, as a member of society, to support our schools. I still support public schools which are available to all.

However, I am tired of my tax dollars going to private and charter schools. Parents using these schools want property owners who do not have school-age children to subsidize their privileged choices.

I thought my state representative and state senator were against socialism. The hypocrisy of requiring all taxpayers to pay for school choice is staggering Furthermore, supporting the government backing of private religious education is in direct conflict of the 1st amendment and the establishment of state religions.

If you continue to want to fleece taxpayers with supporting private education there needs to be more government controls. You want less govenment intrusion then quit expecting the government to pay for your choices.

Every private or charter school that gets a single dollar of tax money: -Must meet EVERY requirement of public schools.

-Accept any and every student as is required by public schools.

-No household should be able to get more voucher money than what they pay as part of their property taxes.

-When those private and charter schools fail then their kids should sit out the rest of the school year or be held back. Sorry they took tax money and spent it.

Parents with children wanting school choice like to complain that it’s their tax dollars. No, they are using tax dollars paid in by every taxpayer including the 62% of households who do not even have school-age children (US Census data for Indiana.)

Stop expecting tax payers to subsidize your school choice.

Start Talking: Consitutional Carrry Presented by

Two friends of The Republican, Philip Gulley and David Winters, have agreed to share their differing viewpoints on mutally agreed upon topics. Gulley, a Quaker pastor, will take the progressive side; Winters, a Danville Town Councilman, will give the conservative view.

We hope you will read both contributions with an open mind and genuine effort to understand that “the other side” isn’t an enemy. We welcome your comments, but please keep them brief. If you have topics for future essays, let us know and we will add them to the list. Our aim is to start civil conversations that lead to better understanding on both sides.

This month’s topic is Indiana’s recently passed “Constitutional Carry” law.

Constitutional Carry A dozen years ago, a devious friend gifted me with a lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association as a gag. I repaid him by sending letters to several televangelists, using his name and address, promising them substantial sums of money. I no longer hear from the NRA, while he continues to receive weekly missives from Joel Osteen, Jim Bakker, and Kenneth PHILIP GULLEY Copeland, appraising him ________________________ of the many souls they’ve saved.

My contempt for the NRA began when it went from being an organization of sporting enthusiasts teaching gun safety to a lobbying group funded by gun manufacturers who fight tooth and nail against even the most reasonable limits on firearms and won’t be happy until everyone in the United States owns a nuclear bomb.

Our Republican leaders, with their oily habit of naming bills everything they are not (see No child left behind! and Right to work!), recently passed a “constitutional carry” law, allowing anyone strong enough to pull a trigger to pack heat. Though I hate to be predictable, you may correctly assume I believe this law is not only foolish and dangerous, but also hypocritical and unconstitutional.

Foolish, because it appeals to and appeases the most radical among us, those who have a lusty attraction to weapons and their destructive power. At one time in our nation’s history, these persons were outliers, people on the fringe of society whose views were believed to be beyond the pale. Now they are celebrated as patriotic Americans and exercise influence far beyond their numbers. Well over half of Americans favor stricter gun laws, a fact that escapes many in leadership. Just as it is reckless to always appease the far-left, so is it unwise to carry the water for the far-right. Especially when so many moderate Americans support meaningful legislation that would reduce gun violence. Where are those moderate voices in today’s Republican party?

Any bill that doesn’t reduce gun violence is dangerous. Over 43,000 Americans were killed by guns in 2020, 24,000 of them by suicide with guns. Another 40,000 were injured or permanently disabled, many of them children and teens. The mere presence of a gun in the house significantly increases one’s risk for self or family harm.

But more than foolish and dangerous, this law is also hypocritical and unconstitutional. Note how its supporters decry those progressives who speak of the Constitution as a living document, who believe the Constitution can and should be amended to reflect our evolving understanding of freedom, rationality, and justice. Ironically, these champions of the second amendment oppose the very principle of amending that gave them their beloved amendment. So they are hypocrites, condemning a legal precedent they demand for themselves.

Then these champions of original intent go further, opposing full rights to any group not mentioned in the Constitution, insisting only the original intent of the founders must be followed, but will not concede that when the founders wrote our Constitution that to arm oneself was to own a musket that fired, even in the most capable hands, only three rounds per minute. At this point, their support for original intent withers, and that, in my estimation, is hypocritical and unconstitutional. So I will make the case for true constitutionalism by agreeing that any American who wants to own a musket should be allowed to have one. But only a musket and nothing more, per the wise intent of our founders. ______________________________________________

What part of “Shall not be infringed” is difficult to understand?

There seems to be much debate in our country over the merits of the Second Amendment. Frankly, typing that line incites both an inner-chuckle and an emotion of sadness that some have not been able to connect their freedom to, in my mind, the most important protected right afforded to United States Citizens.

It is the very thing that DAVID WINTERS has kept Americans out ________________________ of the grips a completely tyrannical government. As Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake recently said, “the only thing keeping us from being Australia right now is our second amendment,” when being interviewed by 60 Minutes Australia on the merits of draconian covid restrictions implemented in the land down under. I agree with her on that.

The Second Amendment is not up for debate. Its meaning is quite clear. “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” (italics added). Contrary to what some believe, the Second Amendment was not included by the Founders because they wanted to make sure the people could feed themselves through hunting activities. In fact, I would argue that this protection was not included for the purpose of the people being able to defend themselves from an attacker. To be sure, those are also great reasons to be able to possess the ability to protect oneself. The purpose was much larger than that. The Founders knew that this new Republic was indeed a fragile thing. They also did not lose sight of the devasting fight for freedom from the tyrant King George that just concluded.

The Second Amendment exists to allow us, the people, to properly defend our lives, our liberty, and our pursuit of happiness against rogue government forces. I have often said that the Second Amendment was added to protect the first. Our ability to worship our God, the ability to write this opinion piece without fear of prosecution, and the ability to freely assemble with whoever and wherever we want (even in a pandemic) is something that should not be infringed by any government entity, and we as citizens must possess the ability to defend our constitutionally protected and God-given rights.

Earlier this year, the Indiana legislature passed House Bill 1296 which removed the requirement for individuals to apply for, and then wait several months to obtain, a license to exercise one of their constitutionally protected rights. Some opponents of the legislation say that this new law will allow individuals to carry a gun without having gone through a background check. I would argue that happens now because as we know, criminals do not follow laws. Background checks are performed when an individual purchases a handgun from a store or at a gun show. Prior to HB 1296, an individual who successfully completed the background check and completed the gun purchase, could not lawfully carry that handgun without first waiting months for the licensing process to complete.

I was surprised and pleased that Governor Holcomb signed this into law. Our Founders were not perfect but had wisdom and foresight to include a critical element to our constitution to protect liberty and justice, for all. ______________________________________________ “Start Talking” appears on the third Thursday of each month.

Avon Ironman Adds To His List of Talents

Meet The Hendricks County Dancing Stars

Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars theme this year is “A Masqued Affair.”

Don’t have a mask? Not to worry. You can order a unique elegant mask in a choice of colors online at hendrickscountymuseum.org when you buy your tickets for the event. Already have your tickets? Just go back to the website and you can add a mask to your order. Or, just come to see the dance performances and enjoy the dinner prepared by The Coachman.

The Hendricks County Museum, at 170 S. Washington Street in Danville, is the producer and beneficiary of this great event which supports the history of our great county.

It will be held at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds Expo Hall, beautifully decorated for the occasion. Title sponsor for this year is Hendricks Regional Health.

Dancers from around the county are taking lessons at Arthur Murray Dance Center in Avon to compete for Best Dancer or Best Fundraiser on May 14.

Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars is often named by guests as the most fun fundraiser and includes a variety of silent auction items, a wine-pull, and new this year – a dessert dash – where your table group can bid on first choice of the beautiful desserts!

Here are some of the dancers who will perform that event.

The Avon Ironman is able to take small orders for custom cookies, like these Avon themed birthday treats. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Kyle Beimfohr is an Avon resident and serves as a Digital Learning Coach for Zionsville School Corporation.

He’s been known for his many accomplishments, but lately, people have been intrigued by his cookie decorating skills.

“It was really organic, nothing I sought out to do,” Beimfohr said. “I’m very detail oriented. At Christmas time, friends and family get together and decorate cookies.

I enjoyed it and found it was a stress reliever for me.”

Once friends and neighbors caught on to his special skill, they began asking for graduation cookies, birthday dessert and themed treats.

He took an angel cookie cutter and fashioned it to resemble Yoda for a Mandalorian batch and even created some Among Us cookies (a video game his students are currently playing).

While the cookie decorating has become his creative hobby and pastime, Beimfohr is making his mark in other ways.

Beimfohr will compete in his fourth Ironman competition this fall in Arizona. ___________________________________________________

He started physical therapy, slowly added in riding a bike, could eventually get back into the pool and added running toward the end of his therapy.

“As October got closer, I talked to my girlfriend and family and I said I think I’ll go and either cheer on the others and get my T-shirt and backpack or I’m going to try to do this thing,” Beimfohr said. “Instead of going for my best time, I started looking at how long could I spend in the water before they pulled me out. How long can I cycle before they pull me off the track, and that became my new goal.”

Not only did Beimfohr compete, he did far better than running the risk of being pulled off of the course.

Afterward, he went back to the surgeon for a scheduled surgery and handed him the medal he had received.

“He was shocked,” Beimfohr said. “We took a picture together and he said it was going up in his office. While I don’t wish that kind of accident on anyone, it’s a great story and reminds people that you can overcome obstacles.”

Beimfohr signed up for another Ironman event right after surgery and was able to compete at 100 percent that time. He’s scheduled to compete in his fourth, this fall, in Arizona.

Beimfohr said competing in the Ironman competition makes for a very long day, but the community of athletes and friendships along the way make it all worth it. ____________________________________________________

“It’s another thing I never thought I’d do. Cycling is my passion and a few of my friends convinced me to try it. I tried a triathlon or a half ironman which is swimming 500 yards, biking 25 miles and running a 5K. I really enjoyed that, so I thought I’d give the Ironman a try,” Beimfohr said.

A full Ironman event is swimming 2.5 miles, cycling 112 miles and then running a full marathon of 26.2 miles.

In the summer of 2017, Beimfohr said he was in the best shape of his life, training for his first Ironman event and tragedy struck.

“I was out training and one of my friends got his tire off of the road and I flipped over him, broke several ribs and my clavicle. I had a surgeon saying I would need surgery and there’s no way you’ll heal in time to do the Ironman event. I was heartbroken,” Beimfohr said.

Thursday, April 21, 2022

Despite multiple injuries and obstacles to overcome, Beimfohr has defeated the odds more than once. ____________________________________________________

If he ever gets tired of beating a new record, Beimfohr can always fall back on a bakery business.

“At the core of everything I do is my relationship with God and my Christian walk,” Beimfohr said. “I don’t think I could have gotten through the Ironman race if it wasn’t for my faith and I don’t think I’d have the joy I have when I give those cookies away. Showing my joy to the students, staff and friends and family makes me who I am.”

Governor Charms Chamber Members

Stan Pinegar, President of Duke Energy Indiana, introduced Governor Holcomg to the audience. ____________________________________________________

Above: Kelly DeBenedetto checks her list of questions for Governor Eric Holcolmb at last week’s Chamber meeing.

It was a happy birthday for Danville Chamber Director Kelly DiBenedetto last week. Governor Eric Holcomb showed up, at her request, to speak at hamber’s April meeting.

Catered by What’s Cooking, the crowd of about 200 guests were soon sitting down with a general air of excitement and good food. After Danville Town Manager Mark Morgan led the bunch in singing Happy Birthday to Kelly, the President of Duke Energy Indiana, Stan Pinegar, took the mic. Stan thanked the chamber and the Governor for coming to Danville then introduced Governor Holcomb.

Kelly and Mr. Holcomb then took the stage for a fireside chat (sans fireplace).

Kelly talked to the governor about low employment rates affecting small businesses in the state and Hendricks County.

“Hendricks County really has a tough problem, your unemployment rate is even lower than the state’s average,” he answered. “The problem we have is the 1.8 million Hoosier workers who are off the grid who do not want to work and are able not to work, which is the key factor. Not all of them will come back to work, but 1.8 million is a big number and some will come back. The trick is how do you connect with those and get them in the workforce and we are working on that.”

Talking about inflationary pressures on the state, Governor Holcomb said we have to look at the underlying forces behind the current inflation. “The bird flu that’s going on right now, that’s forcing chicken and egg prices to triple in some places. You look at what’s happening in Ukraine

and Russia, and how that’s affecting the energy market and what we do in response to that. It’s a basic rule of supply and demand. That’s what’s happening right now.”

Afterwards, the press was allowed to visit with the governor for a few minutes to ask questions. Local radio personality, Shane Ray from 98.9 WYRZ in Brownsburg asked about the income tax refund just approved by the state.

“Shoot, I forgot to mention that!” he exclaimed.

“Thanks for bringing that up. An additional 900,000 Hoosiers that had tax liability will getting $125 refund. We are well over four million Hoosiers that pay taxes that will be in receipt of those dollars.”

Overall, the Governor said Indiana is doing well and is financially healthy. He said Indiana is the state to be in if you are doing business in the Midwest. _____________________________________________

Govenment teacher Mike Neilson, right, greeted John Futrell, Democratic candidate for State Repuresentative District 28 during the Meet the Candidates event. ___________________________________________________

The stage was set for Danville Community High School’s Meet the Candidates Night On April 12. All those running in the May 3 Primary election received invitations to put their case before the voters. ____________________________________________________

It was a beautiful evening to meet the candidates last Wednesday at the Danville High School. While not as overwhelming as a presidential election year, there were a good number of signs displayed outside the entrance.

Inside you were greeted by a team of students from Mr. Neilson’s Government class. Always professional and polite, year in, year out.

For an hour prior to the event the public came in and visited with the office-seekers to speak. Candidates waiting in the cafeteria included Mr. Dennis Wynn and Mr. Greg Irby for Danville Town Council; Mr. Bill Wright and Mr. Randy Waltz for Center Twp. Trustee; Mrs. Patsy Wynn, Mr. Jim Disney, Mrs. Beth Harvey and Mr. Scott Christie for Center Twp. Board; Mr. Jeff Thompson and Mr. John Futrell for the Indiana House District 28; and two of the three Sheriff candidates, Mr. Dave Galloway and Mr. Jack Sadler. The was a bit of speculation on whether the third sheriff candidate, Mr. Terry Judy would attend, following his Driving While Intoxicated arrest on April 10. His P.R. firm released a statement that Mr. Judy would be staying in the Sheriff’s race.

Mostly, the evening went as expected, but it did not start that way. Mr. Roger Day, a Democrat running for U.S. House District 4, started off the evening with what he called an “uncomfortable” message to the Republican voters in the room.

“I want to tell you this, the Republican party does not think you are smart enough to think for yourself.” He began, getting everyone’s attention. “My opponent is what I call a “Trumpster,” he continued. “He says he believes everything Trump says. He really doesn’t believe it, he’s not a stupid man. He’s an intelligent man. You know why he says it to you and lies to you? It’s because the party doesn’t have enough confidence in you, they think you are stupid.”

After that, the evening fell into the more comfortable event it was designed to be. Incumbent Mr. Thompson used his time to share the economic successes of the conservative Indiana legislature over the years. His Democrat opponent, John Futrell, countered with, “When are we going to be number one when it comes to the education, health care and the people?”

Seen talking and shaking hands, Sheriff candidates Mr. Galloway and Mr. Sadler each spoke, sharing why they believe they deserve your vote for the job of protecting Hendricks County. Mr. Galloway leaned on experience of having already served as Hendricks County Sheriff and Mr. Sadler shared having extensive leadership training as well as the endorsement of the popular current Sheriff, Mr. Clark. Neither commented on the arrest of their opponent, Mr. Judy, a few days prior.

Mr. Neilson’ class has once again hosted a successful Meet the Candidates event. Don’t forget to vote on May 3, 2022. ______________________________________________

Indiana Lyons’ Jordan Hidleberg eyes the basket, ready to take his shot. Jordan was named to the American Basketball Association’s West All-Stars Honorable Mention. ____________________________________________________

The American Basketball Association (ABA) recently announced that Indiana Lyons shooting guard Jordan Hidleburg has been named to the ABA West All-Stars as an Honorable Mention for the 2021-22 season.

Hidleburg joins Dillon Ware as the two members of the Danville-based Indiana Lyons who were named to the ABA All-Star Team this season.

Standing at just 5’8”, Hidleburg is small in stature but mighty on the court.

Using his lightning speed, he led the Lyons in steals this season, swiping the ball from opponents 45 times, at a pace of 2.4 steals per game. His speed has earned him the nickname “The Flash” from his coach TOPPLevel Entertainment and teammates and “The JORDAN HIDLEBURG Bullet” from Lyons fans.

He ranked second on the Lyons with 270 points, averaging nearly 13 points per game. He also ranked second on the team in assists with 77, averaging more than 4 per game. His 31 three-pointers made him the third-most effective long-range shooter on the Lyons.

“I couldn’t ask for a better young man to coach. Jordan is a great teammate,” said Lyons head coach Jamarr Keglar. “He is fearless and gives his all, all the time. I’ve watched him grow tremendously over the course of the season and can’t wait to get back on the court with him. He deserves the accolades and more.”

Hidleburg graduated from Warren Central High School in Indianapolis and attended college at Ivy Tech. He played for the Indiana Lyons during the 2019-20 season and for the ABA’s Midwest Guardians in the 2020-21 season before returning to the Lyons.

The Lyons finished the 2021-22 season as finalists in the Midwest Region Tournament Championship Game and posted a 19-8 overall record, 15-2 at home. They were ranked No. 20 in the ABA. In four years of existence, the Lyons have turned in four winning records, four appearances in the ABA Playoffs, the North Central Region Championship and an appearance in the ABA’s Final Eight Tournament last season, and runners-up in the Midwest Region after being moved there by the league in 2021-22.

The Lyons play their home games at Bosstick Gym, 49 N. Wayne Street in Danville, affectionately known as the Lyons Den. Learn more about the team, including their 2022-23 roster and schedule when they are released, at www.IndianaLyons.com or by following them on Facebook.

Preseason games generally begin in October, and the regular season lasts through mid-March, with the playoffs beginning immediately thereafter. _____________________________________________

Danville Middle School’s Cherry Wins Pi Contest

By Melissa Gibson When Ben Bertoli, a math teacher at Danville Middle School challenged his students to memorize as many numbers of Pi as they could, one sixth grader got to work in a big way.

For those of us that forgot sixth grade math, Pi is the ratio of a circle’s cirZOE CHERRY cumference to its diameter.

It’s an irrational number, a decimal with no end and no repeating pattern, most often abbreviated as 3.14. However, the true answer is an infinite number.

In just a few days’ time, the sixth graders held a competition to see who could memorize the most numbers of Pi and Zoe Cherry took first place, memorizing 136 numbers.

“I thought it would be fun,” Cherry said. “I’m pretty good at memorizing so we’d practice in class and I’d write it over and over before going to bed. I think I wrote it about 60 times.”

There were four winners – two from each sixth-grade math class, but Cherry surpassed them all.

“I was unbelievably surprised,” mom, Beth said. “This is a high ability math class and the kids are very competitive. She said she did 136 numbers and the second highest was in the 50’s.”

Cherry doesn’t just have a skill for memorization. She on the team advisory board for the library at school, she runs track and cross country and is on the robotics team.

“As the winner, I got to smash a pie in Mr. Bertoli’s face in the cafeteria. It was in front of the whole sixth grade and everyone was screaming. It was really fun,” Cherry said. ______________________________________________

Buggy at Auction Carries Family, County History

Among the items at this Saturday’s Lawson & Company’s auction is a rare piece of family and Hendricks County history.

A 19th century buggy, passed down through four generations, will be offered at the Willis G. Parker Estate Sale on Saturday, April 23, near Coatesville.

The buggy first belonged to Calvin and Evaline Warrick. A Union soldier during the Civil War, purchased it in the 1880’s.

Calvin and Evaline’s daughter, Mae, and her husband, Fred C. Parker were the next owners. After their deaths, the buggy passed to their son, Roy Parker and his wife, Doris.

After the deaths of Fred and Doris, their son, Willis, became steward of the unusual family heirloom.

Agricultural history and historical preservation were extremely important to Willis Parker.

Willis had great admiration and respect for hard work of both his father and grandfather because he could remember them farming with horses.

He wanted to honor his great grandfather by preserving Calvin Warrick’s buggy, which was made in Pittsboro, and had always stayed in his family. He arranged to have it taken to Raber’s Buggy Shop in Montgomery, Indiana, in September 2020 to be restored.

Charles Olsen’s factory at Pittsboro featured the manufacture and repair of carriages, buggies and road wagons. They also became known for their school hacks. _______________________________________________________________________________

The brass nameplate on the buggy shows that it was manufactured by Charles J. Olsen’s factory at Pittsborol ____________________________________________________

Hames Collection at Auction

DR. WILLIS PARKER

After his grandfather died in 1966, retired veterinarian Dr. Willis Parker inherited his harness hames. Hames are two curved pieces of iron or wood forming or attached to the collar of a draft horse, to which the traces are attached.

Once an essential part of agriculture, they are now admired for their craftsmanship and history.

That heirloom, part of a wedding gift to his grandparents in 1906, led Parker to assemble the only collection of horse harness hames in America, with over 400 different pairs from around the world. An article by Parker appeared in the summer 2013 issue of The Draft Horse Journal that further explains his passion for these utilitarian, yet sculptural pieces of necessary harness.

Trained as a blacksmith, Charles J. Olsen immigrated from Sweden in the 1880’s.

He came to Pittsboro with capital of $100 and purchased a 20 x 30 sq. ft. shop that he set up for manufacture and repair of harness. The business grew to include building buggies and carriages.

The Olsen factory became known for a particular horse-drawn vehicile: the school hack, a version of today’s school bus. Olsen produced more than 125 school hacks each year, employing as many as 26 men.

Although Indiana schools were the main customers, hacks were shipped to many other states.

The hacks were made in four sizes, from 9 feet to 11 feeet in length. The body of the wagon was made of ash or white oak, Charles and Loretta Olsen with their sons, with lower panels of poplar. Some models Urban (at rear) and Clyde. were made with side curtains of rubberized _____________________________________ canvas, others with glass windows. The wooden wheels were painted a bright yellow and the body of the wagons finished with seven coats of dark green paint.

In 1910, Olsen branched out to try his hand at a horseless carriage, ordered by James Hughes, a farmer living near Pittsboro. During test drives, it raced down the streets at speeds up to 12 mph. The first “Olsen” is pictured at left with the owner at the wheel.

Olsen made a second venture, creating an automobile for another farmer, Jasper Swain. The experiment ended there..

The Olsen factory on South Maple Street was sold in the 1920’s. After a fire in 1970, it was razed to make way for a new bank.

Mural Telling Afghan Evacuees’ Story Begins Tour

5 Ways You Can Help 1.) Purchase a Print of the Mural. The traveling exhibit will raise funds for Open Hands for Children, delivering food and other necessities directly to Afghan children in need. Prints of the August 15 mural may be purchased to assist in this effort at tblack.co.

2.) Host an Exhibition - Help share the stories of this artwork and raise awareness for those who face persecution. Contact Tiffany Black to host a display in your city.

Muralist and Danville native Tiffany Black with the traveling exhbit of “August 15,” the mural she created to honor and tell the story of the Afghan refugees at Camp Atterbury in Indiana.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________ A replica of “August 15,” the roughly 8 by 22 ft. mural commemorating the journey of Afghan evacuees to the U.S. last summer, was unveiled April 14 at the Indianapolis Airport, its home until June when it will begin to tour the nation.

Directed by Danville native Tiffany Black (DCHS Class of 2004), the mural Features seven circles, each with a theme on the story of last August 15, when the Afghan government fell to the terrorist Taliban as Yankee troops came home.

As sympathizers and aides to the U.S., these Afghans had to make a fast choice on August 15 - either go to America with its open arms or face death or capture, abuse, from the vengeful Taliban.

Black told onlookers about these people, globally ensnared in war had to flee and leave everything, then summon strength to build anew. The mural reflects their terror and hope, an ending, a beginning.

The mural “offers a glimpse of the heart and soul of those displaced” by violence, Black said.

Around the world, she added, this will always be, with people fighting for their lives or fleeing, citing the current conditions in Ukraine.

Speakers at the ceremony included: Black, Congressman Andre Carson, Airport Director of Public Affairs Bill Stinson, Airport Executive Director Mario Rodriguez, U.S. Transportation Safety Administration’s Aaron Batt, Catholic Charities local Head David Berthurem.

The mural contain dozens of scenes including U.S. military evacuating Afghans supportive of the U.S. military there since 9/11. The U.S. had entered the Afghan combat theater to eliminate the Taliban masterminds of 9/11, and stabilize the country.

Mural content and some color drawing came from the minds and hands of 59 of the Afghan evacuees

3.) Urge President Biden to Protect Afghans Allies Left Behind - Urge the Administration to provide urgent humanitarian protections for Afghan allies currently in third countries, and establishing protections for the vulnerable women and children still in Afghanistan. You’ll find a link to send a message at tblack.com 4.) Tell Congress to Pass the Afghan Adjustment Act Now - Call your Senators and Congressional Representative. Tell them that Congress should immediately pass an Afghan Adjustment Act that would allow Afghan evacuees parolees an opportunity to seek lawful permanent resident status.

5.) Join Lamplighters - Lamplighters is a group formed by women who worked with evacuees at Indiana’s Camp Atterbury to support resettlement agencies by nurturing relationships built with refugees, and working to enhance their welfare. To join the Lamplighters email list and learn more, send an email request to tiffany@black.co.

flown to Camp Atterbury late last summer. Two evacuees, Zainab Ahnadi and Fawzia Abdaly, both artists like Black, helped extensively.

Muralist Black was chosen in October by airport sources to spearhead local TSA Director Aaron Batt’s vision of a mural reflecting Hoosier kindness and hospitality.

Black explained the mural communicates: - the trauma when forced to flee one’s cultural and physical home; fighting fear with hope and unforgettable love; the longing for those left behind; that our brave military evacuated so many so fast; - the service of Indiana government workers and civilian volunteers in teaching, reassuring, assisting and placing all evacuees from Camp Atterbury in private locations, over 700 here in Indiana; the need to petition the Biden Administration to evacuate more.

Mr. Batt pointed out the population of evacuees at Atterbury was 47 percent minors with 33 children born at the Army fort, August to March. Most adults who were there were women.

Because of the role these people and their families played in assisting our military (with interpreting, guiding, art therapy for our wounded, for example), Black said those involved in the project felt a moral obligation to help. She urged all to sign petitions provided to send President

Biden, asking more to support the refugees here and those left behind, both in arriving here and attaining new lives.

Mr. Berthurem of Catholic Charities was summoned by Washington in August to help here, meeting urgent initial needs of those arriving (food, shelter, clothing, language, sanitation etc.) then providing dignity, care and synpathy, training in American culture.

“We came to Camp Atterbury to help,” said Congressman Carson, calling America the “land of opportunity.” He pledged to speak with President Biden personally so more is done.

Mr. Batt related 23 organizations were at Atterbury assisting guests on behalf of 175 agencies of all backgrounds. He called the outpouring of volunteers heart warming. “Our guests arrived in shock,” Mr. Batt said, “then came to love Indiana.”

Airport Director Rodriguez and Public Affairs Chief Stinson said the mural keeps to the airport’s goal of posting displays demonstrating the character and values of central Indiana.

The Indianapolis Airport has been voted by one source ar another best in North America 10 years straight, said Mr Rodriguez.

Afghan music played ahead of the ceremony, led

by Afghan native Waheed Ali, Bloomington singer. __________

Main Street, #104, Danville, IN 46122.

The petition for adoption alleges that the consent to adoption of Amanda Alvey is not required because she has failed to maintain a relationship with or provide support to the child who has been in the custody of another person prior to the filing of the Petition. It is in the child’s best interests to dispense with Amanda Alvey’s consent.

If Amanda Alvey seeks to contest the adoption of the child, Amanda Alvey must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court not later than thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice.

If Amanda Alvey does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice, the above named court will hear and determine the petition for adoption. The consent to adoption of Amanda Alvey will be irrevocably implied and Amanda Alvey will lose the right to contest either the adoption or the validity of Amanda Alvey’s implied consent to the adoption.

No statement made to Amanda Alvey relieves Amanda Alvey of obligations under this notice.

This notice complies with IC 31-194.5-3 but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes.
