Unexpected We publish obituaries every week. People who died from accidents, from disease, from old age.

In this week’s issue we have 30 obituaries. One of these deaths did not fall among the usual causes. It was the result of a mass shooting, which was in turn the result of our failure to deal with mental illness and the prolifertion of guns available to the people who suffer from that disease.

Eight people died last week in a mass shooting shooting at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis. Matthew R. Alexander, 32, was was one of them. He was a 2007 graduate of Avon High school. Other random victims included Samaria Blackwell, 19; Amarjeet Johal, 66; Jaswinder Kaur, 64, Amarjit Skhon, 48, Jaswinder Singh, 68, John Weisert, 74, and Karlie Smith, 19.

In the Victorian era, with widespread disease and limited cures, it was said that death was sudden, but never unexpected. Sadly, our modern era, with many diseases wiped out or controlled, sudden death is becoming less unexpected.

In response to the mass shooting at the FedEx in Indianapolis, Mental Health of America of Hendricks County hosted a press conference on April 20 to offer a message of support for the victims, survivors and their families.

In the next issue of The Republican we will begin a series on the organizations that support those in crisis, those suffering from mental illness, and the treatments that are available. ______________________________________________

Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter NSDAR Offers Free Trees

The Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, is sponsoring a sugar maple tree giveaway as part of a conservation service project.

The Chapter is giving away 300 sugar maple trees to Hendricks County residents as long as they agree to plant them. The sugar maple tree turns red in fall and can grow in full sun or partial shade. One hardwood tree can remove 48 pounds of carbon from the atmosphere and make 260 pounds of oxygen.

Schools Receive Rescue Act Funding

Hendricks County’s public school systems will receive a total of $12,698,979.27 in federal funding for expenses relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) announced the estimated funds that public school districts across the state will receive as part of the third round of federal stimulus dollars (American Rescue Plan Act). Together, these school allocations total nearly $1.8 billion.

With this funding, schools can reimburse approved expenses incurred through September 2024 that address some of the greatest challenges schools continue to face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Per federal requirements, schools must use at least 20 percent of these funds to support accelerated learning opportunities for students, as schools work to make up for lost instructional time due to COVID-19. These evidence-based interventions may include summer learning or enrichment, comprehensive afterschool programs, extended school years programs, etc.

The amount to be received by local school districts are: ●Avon: $4,053,256.08 ●Brownsburg: $3,120,941.06 ●Danville Schools: $1,110,843.43 ●Mill Creek $1,487,736.73 ●North West Hendricks: 334,233.97 ●Plainfield: $2,591,968.00 __________

IN2WORK

Staff joined the first Aramark IN2WORK® graduates during ceremonies at the Hendricks County Jail on April 15. Seated, left to right: Nathaniel Staufer, Travis Baringer, Coty Tiller; standing: Jail Commander Megen Morgan, Aramark Instructor David Neeley and Sheriff Brett Clark.

It was not your typical graduation.

Instead of caps and gowns, the graduates wore aprons. The scene wasn’t a school auditorium, it was the county jail.

Last Thursday, the first graduating class of Amamark’s IN2WORK® program received their diplomas in the Hendricks County Jail. Not only the was this the first such graduation in the County, but the first for a municipal jail in the State of Indiana.

One-quarter of formerly incarcerated individuals don’t have a high school diploma, GED, or college experience. Their unemployment rate hovers at 27%. More than half will find themselves re-incarcerated within three years of release.

Aramark, a worldwide food service, facilities and uniform service, created IN2WORK® to teach incarcerated offenders the fundamentals of working in a food service, retail or warehousing job by giving them skills, experience, and a nationally-recognized certificate that can help them re-enter the workforce. Since its launch, IN2WORK® has seen recidivism rates for participants reduced by as much as 30%.

The curriculum is taught by dedicated trainers and includes classroom instruction and on-the-job training. The full program comprises three phases: food service or retail warehouse training enabling graduates to apply for an internship while still incarcerated, a scholarship to continue their education once released, and employment resources to assist in their job search.

During 2020, the Hendricks County Jail prepared and served over 271,000 meals. For part of that time, Nate Staufer, Travis Baringer, and Coty Tiller received training under the guidance of Aramark instructor David Neeley.

“You could see a change in the atmosphere,” Neeley remarked about the trainees during the time they were working. They weren’t talking about sports or COVID - they were talking about food preparation.

“We see so much potential in each and every one of you,” Neeley told them.

The graduates’ final exam was preparing and serving the meal for those attending the ceremony - jail staff, county officials and Aramark representatives.

Jail Commander Megen Morgan praised the work accomplished by the graduates andand wished for them a better future. She recalled the times she had been out shopping and hear someone say, “Captain Morgan!” and find a former inmate working at the store.

“Nothing thrills me more,” she said.

The graduates received their training certificates, as well as their Servsafe certificiates, which are required to work in the food service industry and good for five years. Upon release, they can apply for a $2,500 scholarship that can be used further education in any field. They will also receive an app that will help them find job openings at any location where they may be looking for work.

At the end of the ceremony, the graduates were invited to speak. Nate Staufer summed up his experience.

“Thanks for the opportunity and helping us gain a little more knowledge, because knowledge is the key.”

Sheriff Brett Clark praised the program and said he was proud for Hendricks County to be the first in the state to use it to improve inmates’ opportunities for a better life.

Abraham Lincoln said, “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” The three IN2WORK graduates have taken the first step in that direction. ______________________________________________________________________

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 found scant news about early Clayville, later known as Clayton, in perusing newspapers across Indiana, other than the Terre Haute & Richmond Railroad made stops there beginning in 1852.

There were only 10 homes and 43 residents in 1836.

Z.S. and W.A. Ragan advertised their Clayton Nursery in the Wabash Express of Terre Haute in April 1859. Northeast of town, they cultivated and sold fruit and ornamental trees, vines, shrubbery and flowers.

Notice for sale of lots in Claysville from the Danville Weekly Their catalog included straw- Advertiser, November 1850. berries, gooseberries, currants, _________________________________________________ grapevines, raspberries, and more.

Z.S. was on the Sheep Committee for the seventh Indiana State Fair in 1858.

Hogs in great numbers were dying from cholera in Clayton’s vicinity in September 1859.

Farmers around Clayton “got up a wood hauling frolic” of 53 loads in a single day in November 1863 for soldiers’ families.

Clayton, Danville and other towns contributed to the Indiana Sanitary Commission in April 1864. The commission raised funds and supplies for soldiers in the field. I can’t say precisely what Clayton and Danville gave, but the overall collection included a pair of pants, 246 pairs of drawers, 230 handkerchiefs, seven pounds of lint (for wound dressings), 1,416 pounds of dried apples, 90 gallons of pickles, eight pounds of soap, 12 combs and 644 bottles of whiskey.

The day after Lincoln was assassinated, Clayton and area citizens met to express their grief and outrage. Professor Smith of Danville spoke of now-President Andrew Johnson as “having erred and brought upon himself disgrace, but that he had solemnly sworn that he would never touch the vile stuff again.”

The professor must have been referring to Lincoln’s inauguration of March 4 when Johnson, recovering from typhoid fever, had imbibed some whiskey to counter the symptoms, and as a result slurred his words during his vice-presidential inauguration address.

Clayton’s Dr. Thomas Franklin Dryden served as a hospital steward in the 15th Indiana Infantry during the Civil War, acting as assistant surgeon, and surgeon, and “although a little bit radical, is a fine fellow,” the Indianapolis Daily Herald declared in late 1867.

He arrived in Clayton in 1866 and practiced there until his death in 1896.

Clayton’s George Woodfill was waylaid in Indianapolis in late November 1869 by three highwaymen who relieved him of $4,700 in cattle money. He offered a $1,000 reward for the recovery of his money and the thieves’ arrest.

Indianapolis Mayor Daniel McCauley received a breathless letter in May 1870 from Clayton’s James Rynerson (Box 30) wherein he offered to heat the entire city and run all the manufacturing using “the fires within the earth.”

Rynerson needed $150,000 for the machinery, and $500,000 “or thereabout” for labor.

“You may think this is impossible; but nothing is impossible,” Rynerson wrote. “The fire is there!”

Masked men attacked 79-year-old Jesse Mason, a wealthy farmer six miles southwest of Clayton near Cherry Grove in mid-October 1888, but the bravery of his unmarried 35-year-old daughter and teenage son saved him.

A young Stilesville fellow known as an idler had seen Jesse receive cash from the sale of timber and he conspired with another to take it. That night during a downpour they knocked and asked for matches for a lantern and when Jesse turned they opened fire, miraculously missing him, before barging in.

Grabbing a chair, Jesse’s daughter attacked an assailant. He caught her hand and forced it into his mouth, biting down on her fingers. The son then ran in with a double-barrel shotgun, laid it on his sister’s shoulder and fired buckshot, the muzzle but three inches from the man’s face.

His lower jaw blown away, he fell dead. How the sister’s fingers remained intact mystifies me.

The confederate, who later confessed, fled into the night.

The three Masons, torn over what to do next, dragged the corpse outside before the son ran to alert neighbors. By midnight, horsemen were scouring the area for the other assailant.

Hundreds hurried over muddy roads to the scene and at noon the corpse still lay in the yard. An older man from Stilesville drove up and recognized his son.

Subsequently, a third man was identified as the one who put the other two up to the robbery and attempted murder, gave them whiskey, and was on the scene. He “skipped out for parts unknown.”

April 26–30 is National Work Zone Awareness Week. As lineworkers and road crews do their jobs to help the community, Hendricks Power Cooperative asks drivers to do their part in keeping workers, themselves and their passengers safe when driving through work zones.

Spring has arrived with its profusion of color: whites and pinks and orange — as in the orange of work zones.

National Work Zone Awareness Week is April 26-30. The focus of the week: reminding motorists to be careful around the men and women whose jobs put them along roadways and into harm’s way. But not all work zones are for road repair. Electric cooperative line crews also work along the roadsides to build, repair and maintain electric power lines. Sometimes, crews can be around the next corner or just over the hill — day or night.

“While routine line work is done during daylight hours, emergencies can happen at any time,” said Chris Gearld, Safety Director at Hendricks Power. “We want to remind motorists our crews can be out there working at any hour and to be careful when they see warning signs and flaggers.”

When motorists see the orange diamond-shaped work zone warning signs and vehicles with the flashing amber lights, they should slow down and prepare for the zone ahead.

Indiana law requires motorists to approach cautiously and change lanes away from emergency vehicles if they can do so safely. If not, they should reduce their speed to 10 mph under the posted speed limit and proceed with caution. The Indiana State Police said motorists should not stop in the roadway; this may cause a chain

reaction rear-end collision with other vehicles.

Emergency vehicles protected by the law include: • Police vehicles • Ambulances • Fire trucks and rescue equipment • Highway incident-response vehicles • Highway maintenance vehicles • Utility service vehicles • Tow trucks Violating the law can result in a fine and a suspended license. Steeper penalties, including jail time, are enforced for infractions within highway work zones.

Though move-over laws are only for emergency vehicles, the Indiana State Police says drivers should always be courteous to those parked on the shoulder. Give them room to safely repair their vehicles and help prevent tragedies.

“Working on energized power lines up in the air at all hours and in all kinds of weather is dangerous enough for lineworkers,” added Gearld. “We ask folks to please not make it more dangerous by speeding so closely by them.”

Thomas Little Home in Danger of Demolition The Thomas Little house sits within viewing distance of U.S. 40 at the west edge Plainfield.

The house was rated “Outstanding” in the Hendricks County Sites and Structures Inventory as an example of the Queen Anne style of architecture.

The rating indicates a “property has enough historic or architectural significance that it ...should be considered for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places.”

No effort was made to place the structure on the National Register. __________

Tri-West Scholarship

By Melissa Gibson Earlier this month, Hendricks Regional Health (HRH) posted a YouTube video describing their plans for the Plainfield property along U.S. 40.

HRH President and CEO Kevin Speer explained on the video, what’s known as the ‘Little’ house, at 5328 East US Highway 40, the large, Queen-Anne style home sitting on the property, had not been maintained since their purchase in 2017.

The home has fallen victim to wild animal inhabitants, the interior is rotted and so much damage has been done in HRH’s opinion, it’s unsalvageable.

The video went on to say the home did not have historical significance and HRH planned to use some of the wood from the home in their new, 10,000 square foot medical office building.

However, according to the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library, the historical significance is evident.

The property has been in the Alexander Little family since 1830. Alexander served as a member of the Indiana State legislature. His son, Samuel, was president of the Plainfield and Cartersburg Gravel Road Association and he was a stakeholder for the First National Bank in Danville.

His son Thomas built what now stands on the property in 1885.

The home has remained a fixture in the community and many remember Montello and Gertrude Dailey owning a large goat farm on the property and hosting festival events throughout the 50’s and 60’s.

Today, many in the tight-knit community of Plainfield is expressing concern and dismay over the home’s future.

One Plainfield resident took all of the Facebook comments and public conversations and put those words into action – asking for assistance from Indiana Landmarks to work with Speer to reconsider the fate of the ‘Little’ house.

Hendricks Regional Health is planning a new medical office building on the property.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I had always known about the Little house. I drive by it at least once a week, if not several days a week and I saw a post with a picture of it on Facebook and people seemed upset about it being torn down,” Amanda Engle said.

At the time, Engle and her mother had a conversation about it and after several months, it became apparent nothing had been done. The two talked about several ideas, settling on bringing the house to the attention of Indiana Landmarks.

“I contacted Indiana Landmarks and without hesitation, they immediately knew what house I was talking about, but did not know of any demolition plans. They were im-

In the original site plans, a typed note states, “Existing house and outbuilding to remain. Clearing in and around the existing house and building to remain shall be coordinated with the owner prior to commencement.” ____________________________________________________

mediately concerned and said, ‘let’s see what we can do’,” Engle said. “They have reached out to Kevin Speer and in the meantime, they said it would be helpful to set up a petition to show how many people care about this.”

Engle was shocked to see more than 1,700 signatures on the petition in less than 36 hours and as of press time, nearly 2,500 have signed as the numbers continue to climb.

“I think everybody thought they were the only ones,” Engle said. “Once someone started the petition, everyone came out of the woodwork. I’ve reached back out to Indiana Landmarks with the petition link and they had not yet heard from HRH.” The hospital has set the YouTube video to private and has not responded to Indiana Landmarks or The Republican for comment but Engle and many others are still hopeful they can work something out with the property owners.

We would love to work with Mr. Speer,” Engle said.

“Plainfield wants to work alongside the hospital and we just think surely there could be a compromise. I have read every single comment on both Facebook and the petition and I feel like after reading them, people just want it saved.

They don’t really care what the end purpose is, we just want the house to remain standing. People have suggested a café, museum, gift shop, offices, a halfway house and they’re happy to just incorporate the house into HRH’s plan. We just want it to be taken care of instead of demolished.”

When no one argues the condition of the house is less than desirable, why do they want to save it?

“It’s so important to know where we came from as a town and as a community. That starts with preserving our history,” Engle said. “It doesn’t have to be out with the old and in with the new. The old and new can come together.”

The small-town feel of downtown Plainfield is often threatened by modernization and new buildings, however, the community has voiced their concern and opinion about holding on to the history and value of the town they love.

Over the years, the community has developed organizations to protect the history and support the local businesses. They’ve been vocal about saving buildings like the Prewitt Theater in downtown Plainfield and have a thriving genealogy department at the town library.

“We can see [through the petition] that thousands value the ‘Little’ house. It’s brought the town together. If we demolish it, what does that say about the community? We’re not an angry mob – we want to compromise and work with the hospital. We aren’t out to ruin their plans,” Engle said.

WYRZ Welcomes Avon Chamber of Commerce as Sponsor

The Greater Avon Chamber of Commerce has joined the growing list of WYRZ’s community partners. The Chamber is now the official sponsor of The Music Machine, where all the solid gold music is heard on the radio station, according to WYRZ Executive Director Shane Ray. WYRZ has been a member of the Avon Chamber of Commerce since it first signed on the air in 2015. During this time, the radio station has worked together with the Chamber for various promotions for Avon events, including the Hendricks County Ribfest and various Avon Chamber fundraisers. Tom Downard has appeared on the WYRZ’s monthly public affairs radio show, Central Indiana Today, several times.

Shane Ray said, “The Avon Chamber of Commerce and WYRZ are both non profits in the county and it’s simply a natural fit. Being an Avon Chamber member, we support what it stands for and how it works to make businesses in the town of Avon grow in a positive direction.”

Downard added, “The Avon Chamber of Commerce is excited to partner with Shane and WYRZ. The Music Machine sponsorship will allow the Chamber to help promote its brand countywide. The partnership will allow the Chamber to promote its major event, Hendricks County Ribfest, in the upcoming months.”

Downard also commented that it’s also a great way to promote the 25th anniversary of the Avon Chamber of Commerce.

WYRZ listeners will hear multiple times a day that “…all the solid gold music WYRZ is broadcasting comes from the Avon Chamber of Commerce Music Machine!”

As in the past years, the Chamber will be sponsoring a live remote from the 2021 Hendricks County Ribfest and also a second live remote from the 2021 Hendricks County Fair.

ASK MR. TRAFFIC

Exploring Hendricks County

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

By Jackie Horn

Name that trail! A guide to McCloud Nature Park’s trail system lists the names of the trails, as well as symbols that are posted along the different paths.

I’ll say it quietly so as not to jinx it, “SPRING IS HERE!” Oh, we may still get a freeze (I don’t feel confident of being frostfree until Mother’s Day) but I am optimistic. This past week John and I made it up to McCloud Nature Park near North Salem and the wildflowers were amazing!

It was a gorgeous day, sunny and warm with a Bluebells are among the breeze.

Several others spring flowers at McCloud. were taking advantage of the day to enjoy McCloud as well. We saw families hiking, a home school group studying and a few brave souls wading in the creek. (That water had to be cold!) While tadpoles are cool, I love plants. Spring ephemeral wildflowers are my favorite and this was the place to be.

Thursday, April 22, 2021

Fox Chase Trail at McCloud Nature Park.

At the end of the bridge, the trails split off. Taking the right fork we began climbing a hill, a long, steep hill. At the top, the trail changes names from Big Walnut Crossing to Fox Chase. On the left is an old farm field that’s been planted with trees. On the right is the slope of a deep ravine. There before us was all the beauty of an early spring day. Redbud trees edged the woods. Dame’s Rocket, Blood Root, Spring Beauty, and Trout Lily covered the ground. Bird songs filled the air. Does it get any better?

We continued walking and Fox Chase connects with Woodland Way. Woodland Way Trail rings a reforested field. We stayed on it a short distance before Whitetail Ravine Trail broke off to the right.

Whitetail Ravine Trail begins as a steep, graded limestone road.

At the bottom of the ravine, the path flattens and meanders through a new growth forest alongside Big Walnut Creek. The trail was damp and deer tracks in the mud reminded us why it’s named “Whitetail Ravine”. Here Buckeye trees and Virginia Bluebells were blooming.

A buckeye tree getting ready Too soon the loop ended to bloom. and the trail returned us to the limestone road. It’s an easy walk down but this road is the only way back to the parking lot unless a hiker feels like wading the creek. In summer when the water level is lower, there are a few places that can be crossed and used as a shortcut, but not this day. The water was too deep to rock hop and too chilly to wade up to my thighs. Up we went, huffing and puffing.

Imagine — No Traffic Problems Dream or Nightmare?

I visited a community recently that was not experiencing growing pains. There were no new restaurants, no new houses, no new retail, and as far as I could tell, no plans for anything.

But, the good news? No traffic problems! The great thing about living in a dormant community is it’s super easy to drive anywhere. Granted, not too many places to go, but, it sure is easy to get around.

On the contrary, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to realize growing communities create increased traffic. If a community is desirable, and new restaurants, new retail, and new houses are appearing (e.g., if you moved there), increased traffic is a natural by-product.

For some, increased traffic is a good excuse to find fault with new development (if you’re looking for excuses). For others, increased traffic is a good excuse to maintain roadway plans (if you’re looking for an excuse to remain an inviting and attractive community). But if you do not wish to grow, well, I guess any excuse will do.

Bottom line, a community is either growing and desirable (traffic increases) or it’s not (traffic decreases). So, what comes first? Is it the chicken or the egg? They both come first — shouldn’t have one without the other (and probably don’t want one without the other).

The rate of growth and the rate of roadway improvements both fluctuate (and seldom coincide), thus, it is important roadway plans be ongoing. It doesn’t take a brain scientist to understand the value of having a plan. A plan means eventually (and occasionally) everything makes sense... ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy

John and I chose the White Tail Ravine Trail to hike.

Parking in the lot in front of the Nature Center, John and I popped in to say a quick “hello” to the turtles and snake exhibited and grabbed a map. Walking past the pines and picnic gazebo behind the building, we skirted the Arboretum and crossed the truss bridge spanning Big Walnut Creek. Of course, we had to stop on the bridge to check the water flow, spot fish, and take a selfie.

Jackie and John met other folks seeking some time with nature at McCloud. Above, Adam, Stephanie, and Sadie Burdsall. (Sadie is the one with the chew stick. ____________________________________________________

The Nielson family enjoyed their day at McCloud Nature Park. ____________________________________________________

View from Eagle Aerie Overlook.

John and I backtracked to the intersection of Fox Chase, Woodland Way, and Coyote Ridge trails. Wanting to see something different, we opted for Coyote Ridge to the Overlook trail. From the three overlooks, Eagle Aerie, Pileated Peak, and Cardinal Perch, we could see the bend in the creek below and the wetland boardwalk and observation area. Coyote Ridge joins with the Big Walnut Crossing which returned us to the bridge and where we started.

By the time this article is published, the Trout Lilies and Bluebells will be gone. We only get to enjoy them for a short time. The good news is there will be others.

The Dutchmen’s Britches, Mayapples, Solomon’s Seal, and Woodland Poppies are just waiting for their turns to show off.

McCloud Nature Park is located at 8518 Hughes Road, North Salem. For more about Hendricks County Parks & Recreation, visit hendrickscountyparks.org. ______________________________________________

I sat down next to the squirrel on the south side of the court house yard for a casual conversation.

“Whadda ya know, Archy?” I began.

“I know how the grass feels softest in April when you scamper across it,” he answered. “I know how the early spring flowers are so optimistic they don’t mind sharing the world with the snow. I know how the leaves budding on the trees turn an electric green as they first begin to open. I know the difference between the sun and shade changes with the seasons.”

I realized the difference between a casual greeting and a rhetorical question wasn’t always obvious to squirrels.

“You left that door wide open,” Archy chuckled. Don’t you think it would be a good exercise for all of us to stop and realize all the little things we know.”

I started making a mental list. Making a knot in the thread before I sew by looping it around my finger and rubbing with my thumb. Baking a pie using leftover biscuits, milk, and sugar. How to tie a miller’s knot on a sack of feed. I know when I forget computer shortcut keys my fingers can remember them. I know that in fourth grade I learned the mneomic trick for spelling arithmetic: A Rat In The House Might Eat The Ice Cream.

“Knowledge comes in all sizes,” Archy said. “Even the small things have importance. Like poetry, even a word or phrase can carry as much meaning than an entire book.

Makes you think, doesn’t it?”

I looked at the squirrel and realized that I knew the angle his head tilted when he was thinking and the way he rose up like a periscope when he heard a noise.

“That’s your assignment,” he laughed. “Make a list of the things you know - about people and about life.” ______________________________________________

Flowers? Perennials or Annuals (or Both!)

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County

Page 7

A Note From Bee I don’t know where I got the idea to keep a running list of funny things my three grandsons said or did on my computer. I have since suggested to my friends who have grandchildren to do the same thing.

Master Gardener

You may plant annuals and perennials in same area –It is best if they all require the same amount of water and sunlight.

You will like the look if you plant 3-5 of same plant in triangle or curve. Plants spaced too far apart do not look good to you or anyone else.

Remember to mulch around all flowers to cover ground, help keep moist and retard weeds.

Bob: He was saying his bedtime time prayers and he asked his mom if she had any prayer requests.

When he was about four, he became obsessed with penises. He thought everyone should have one. It was winter time and grandma Carolyn’s scarf hung down below her coat. He asked her if that was her penis His dog was playing too roughly with the kittens. He told her, “That is unacceptable behavior.” He asked his mom if this same dog had Jesus in her heart? He had learned in kids church that he should have Jesus in his heart.

Greg: He had such bad cramps that he could not sleep for three nights. On the fourth day he felt so much better and said, “I feel like a new person.”

Black-eyed Susan is a perennial that will bloom every year.

Annuals or Perennials Are you excited about growing flowers this year? Now that it has warmed up, I am ready! Sadly, It is still too early to plant. Here are some things to consider before you dash into the nursery to buy. Make a map or at least make a list of what you need after consideration of your site.

Do you want Annuals or perennials? Annuals will bloom all year until frost kills them., Perennials come back every year but only bloom for about 6 weeks.

Do you have sun or shade?

What’s the bed size? Large bed, plant shorter plants in front.

Consider the Foliage textures and forms of the flowers, (sharp spikes, soft globes.)

Wowie! Yes, you do have lots of choices. Do you see why it is best to research and plan before shopping?

Characteristics Annuals • Live for one season • Must be replaced each spring • Bloom all summer long, up until frost (some need deadheaded) • Compact root systems; may use in containers • No dividing necessary • Do not overwinter Perennials • Live for two or more years • Will resprout each spring from overwintered roots • Peak bloom often lasts a 5-6 weeks; • More extensive root systems • May need dividing every few years You may plant annuals and perennials in same area –It is best if they all require the same amount of water and sunlight.

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.]

My humans are really into recycling big-time.

When they first started talking about it, I thought they meant riding the same bike route over and over, but it means throwing away less and re-using more.

There are some big plastic bins in the garage where they put most of their trash.

They save plastic bottles and tin cans and glass jars. They save newspapers and flattened cardboard boxes and plain paper and slick paper, like the magazines and catalogs that come in the mail.

And when the bins are full, my human takes them away and brings them back empty.

It seems to me that anything that can be re-used ought to be. My humans have been talking a lot with their friends about conservation. I don’t know what that means exactly, but I do know that if you can re-use something, but you just throw it away, that’s a waste! And we shouldn’t waste anything!

I wasn’t sure I liked my humans’ latest recycle. They started putting their vegetable trimmings and yard weeds and grass cuttings into a big green barrel that’s lying on its side just outside our kitchen door. It’s called a composter.

And does it smell! My humans keep saying that it doesn’t smell bad, but humans are so odorly challenged! My canine nose sure picks up a whiff of rotting stuff every time they open that door!

At first, it seemed to me that they were spending a lot of time and effort on changing a barrelful of garbage into a barrelful of garbage! But, the other day, they opened a little door on one end and this damp, dark, crumbly stuff came out. And it didn’t smell bad at all! That was the compost, and it turns out that you can put it in the dirt around your flowers and herbs and tomatoes to make them grow better! It’s good for them!

Now, that’s recycling—feeding vegetables to vegeta-

Your indoor plants need a graduate introduction to life on the outside.

“Harden off” Soon it will be time to transplant seedlings outdoors.

“Harden them off” first, which means to toughen up your plants a bit. They’ve spent their entire life in a 70-ish degree climate. Now you are putting then outside, they are shocked to feel an overnight temperate that maybe to near freezing.

To help them adjust, gradually condition them over a week to 10 days to outdoor temperatures.

Day1 - place outdoors for one hour, not in direct sun Day 2 - add an hour Continue this process adding an hour a day and more time in sun. By end of a week, you can leave seedlings out into evening if it is a frost-free night. After a week to 10 days, plant outside.

Your purchased plants will appreciate this hardening off process as well, unless you know for a fact they were left outside for several days and nights before you brought them home.

What gets bigger the more you take away?

A hole.

Gardening for ALL Ages

Saturday, April 24 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Hendricks County Fairgrounds, 1900 E. Main, in Danville, in the Equine Pavilion, which is at the northern end of the Fairgrounds - Site changed this year due to Vaccine Clinic being held at fairgrounds.

You all come, too! Thanks!

Colletta Kosiba bles! Now, do you see the cycle in recycle?

They just swept the yard since it was mowed and put all the clumpy globs of grass into the composter. I just love it when my yard has been newly mowed. The grass smells so good and it feels so soft when you lie down on it! Have you ever thought about how neat grass really is?

It grows just about anywhere and it makes your yard look all green and pretty! It’s fun to walk on and lie on, and in the summertime, it crunches when there hasn’t been a lot of rain! All the little bugs that live on and under the grass are good for the soil, too, and they are food for the robins!

Is that great or what?

My human likes to complain about mowing, how it’s never done and if you don’t do it every week, the yard gets out of control. But, I have heard the way he yells at the mower when it won’t start, and if you ask me, he’s the only one out of control!

Sometimes we dogs like to eat grass, and not just when we are sick, like some humans think, either. We just like the way it tastes! And how about cows? They eat grass all the time, and—hey!—they turn it into compost! Cows are really self-loading, self-emptying compost machines!

My humans didn’t need to get that green barrel! They just needed to get a cow! Now that would have been a lot more fun!

Alex: His father had taken Alex out to see a movie and get something to eat. To make conversation with Alex he said, “You saw a sex education movie. What did you think? Have you any questions?”

Alex said, “No, but I liked Roots better.”

He had a question for his dad. “Do you know what balls are called? Tentacles.”

Dad immediately corrected him - Testicles.

I have pages more of what the boys said. The boys are now 23, 20 and 17. The family still gets a big laugh when reading them, even if the boys don’t.

My Favorite Book

I like to read and have read a lot of books, but my all-time favorite is a book called “Last of the Breed.”

You might think this is a western. Wrong. The story takes place in the 1980’s and is about an Air Force Major (I was in the Air Force you know) and his job was to fly experimental aircraft. He was one of the best the Air Force had.

The other thing you need to know was that he was a full-blooded Sioux Indian. This is a Cold War story and the Russians had pulled some strings and the Major had been assigned to a base in Alaska to do some cold weather flying. The Russians shot him down and captured him.

The Russian Colonial in charge was so proud of himself.

The American Major lasted one night and escaped right into the wilds of Siberia where the prison was. The American had grown up in the wilds of Utah and Montana and he survived just fine in rough country. The Russians soon learned that a full-blooded Sioux Indian in the wilds was not someone to mess with.

The Russian Colonial brings in an Eskimo tracker which was supposed to be the best and always got his man.

He had a streak of white in his black hair. (this is important for later) I won’t tell you any more of the story in case you should want to read it. I will leave you with a final note. At the end, the Russian Colonial is given a package wrapped in an animal skin. Guess what was in it? A note said “You are next.” Happy reading.

New Jail & Sheriff’s Office Construction Underway

After weeks of groundwork, the new Hendricks County Jail is rising up on the former site of the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgronds. A crane is helping put up the framework for one of the two housing pods for the inmates. There’s room for two more units to be added, if needed, in the future.

The unique design allows for a minimal increase in staff to efficiently manage the

planned capacity of 527 inmates.

The total cost including construction and soft costs are approximately $76 million dollars. That number includes the furniture and fixtures, too. The photo above shows the layout of the jail and support spaces. The completion date is expected to be in the fall of 2022.

Brownsburg’s Hayloft Farm-to-Table Store Continues to Grow

Sarah Adams works to create a cohesive, easy-to-shop set up for specialty groceries at the Hayloft Farm-to-Table store. _______________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Sarah Adams was in need of a change.

She was working as a sports marketer for drag racing and it included weekend travel, long hours and a less than desirable social life.

With a dream of owning her own wedding barn, complete with a farm-to-table restaurant and making the property a weekend destination, Adams put a down payment on the perfect property, only to have it fall through.

“I was heartbroken,” Adams said. “But my fiancé said, ‘Why don’t you start with something small?’ and I began making a spreadsheet of local vendors and farms in the area.”

The couple completely renovated their Brownsburg location at 1016 E. Main Street in May of 2017 and began stocking local goods, ranging from fresh meat, produce and cheese. Customers can find a variety of breads, prepared salads and side dishes, pasta and sauces, and their favorite snacks.

The idea was to provide items customers couldn’t find at a local grocery store.

Before long, the Hayloft Farm-to-Table store was an indoor, year-long, farmers market for all the best the local community has to offer.

With 90 different cupcake flavors, Hayloft is sure to have your favorite on rotation. ______________________________________

If that wasn’t enough, Adams inadvertently started a cupcake craze at the Brownsburg store.

“On opening day, I had this bakery case I was using for a countertop and decided to bake cupcakes. That first day, we sold out three times,” Adams said. “It just took off – kind of on accident. Now, we have 90 flavors of cupcakes and I bake fresh every day.”

Four years later, Adams has expanded her “small” store and has what she calls the grocery side and the bakery side of the unique shop.

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: FICTIONAL MOTHERS

Graze boxes, filled with healthy fruit, veggies and cheeses are perfect for family gatherings or a relaxing weekend.

A natural at developing new ideas and paying attention to what customers are looking for, they also offer gift baskets, graze boxes and dessert boxes as well as online shopping for those that want their favorites delivered straight to their door.

She’s also developed relationships with local charities and non-profits.

“The food doesn’t have any preservatives, so things aren’t shelf stable for months, especially our meat, cheese and eggs. So, a lot is donated. The leftover produce goes to Oinking Acres (a pig rescue sanctuary in Brownsburg), the meat goes to a local wild animal rescue and places like that,” Adams said.

Blessed and glad things turned out the way they did, Adams said she doesn’t know how she would have ever kept up with the original plan.

“It’s always changing and evolving,” Adams said. “Some items sell out in one day and others aren’t as popular. Some of our vendors, unfortunately, go out of business and there are new ones added to the list.”

They’re constantly growing and Adams looks forward to the changes that await.

“I’d like to have a little seating area outside and maybe even add additional lines of product and other things to the business,” Adams said. “We are going to keep going with what works.”

Hayloft is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Mon. – Fri. and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sat. Items change daily and vendors are also subject to change. Visit https://www.thehayloftfarmtotable.com/ for an updated list of current offerings.

IS THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE THE LORD’S CHOICE? Most folks have heard of the ten commandments.

Moses had gone up the mountain to receive them from God, but in his absence the Israelites decided that there was a need for a tangible being to worship.

A golden calf was made to appease them. All these years later, do we have golden calves that we turn to?

Do we turn to pleasures, achievements, accumulating wealth or anything that we place first in our lives that become our tangible golden calf. Moses came down and the people paid a price. We will also be accountable on the day of judgment.

Avon High School Students Reflect on Observing Ramadan

Drive-Through Spud Dinner

The drive-through will be from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

Large-size potatoes with a variety of toppings will be offered along with your choice of cookies or brownies.

There is no charge for this event; only a free will offering will be accepted. The proceeds will go toward this year’s Church Camp for the children of the area to attend. This year’s Church Camp will be July 18-22, 2021.

The public is invited to attend. __________

By Krishna Latish Halima Alloosh packs for school on April 12th, making sure she has her laptop, books, homework - and no lunch.

This will be the first of 30 days she’ll undertake with no food or water until sundown.

From April to May, Muslims around the world observe Ramadan; they avoid food and water from dawn to dusk, breaking the fast at sundown with a communal meal known as Iftar. For many young Muslims, this means they must balance going to school, answering to non-Muslim peers, and observing the fast all at once – here’s what Ramadan looks like to Muslim students at Avon.

Yemeni sophomore Nesreen Mohamed associates Ramadan with summer and community.

“I usually associate Ramadan with summer because my entire life, Ramadan has been during the summertime. But with COVID, mosques were not open for congregational prayer during Ramadan and I’ve really missed going to the mosque, praying, listening to Quran recitations, hanging out and staying up the entire night with my friends at the mosque,” said Mohamed.

To junior Abdur-Rahim Saleem, Ramadan means reflecting on gratitude.

“To me, it means holding yourself accountable and being thankful for how blessed you are,” said Saleem.

But Ramadan occurs during the last few months of school, meaning these students must juggle religious commitments and prying peers; how can Avon High School’s Muslim community feel welcomed during lunch come April?

Palestinian Ayah Mahariq has no pressing complaints, but sees spots for improvement.

“Lunch of course is where it gets more tempting to eat. My peers are usually understanding,” said Mahariq. “Some can’t seem to grasp the idea of fasting for a whole day. I think peers should stop thinking of fasting as impossible and think of the bigger picture – numerous people don’t eat because they have no other choice.”

Junior Halima Alloosh wants her non-Muslim friends to know that curiosity, when respectful, is encouraged.

“I want my non-Muslim friends to know that asking questions is ok and encouraged!

Muslims take pride in their religion and I, along with many other Muslims I know, want to open interfaith discussion to clear away any stereotypes,” said Alloosh.

But like Christmas stockings and dreidel on Hanukkah, here’s what excites these students about celebrating Ramadan.

“Ironically, I associate Ramadan with really, really amazing food,” said Mohamad.

“Many families make a ton of great food for Iftar, which is the meal at sunset when we break our fast.”

Mahariq finds herself looking forward to baking.

“I don’t really have a favorite food but a dessert my family makes every Eid is Ma’amoul, which are powdery cookies with dates inside,” said Mahariq. “Although I don’t enjoy this dessert too much, it’s so exciting to make since we bake them in big portions, days before Eid.” But above all, Ramadan is a devotional journey; fasting, Alloosh says, is a means to a greater end.

“It’s a time of great spirituality,” said Alloosh. “By abstaining from food and water, we have sympathy for those who can’t afford food and don’t have clean access to water, which strengthens our compassion and charity. It also enables us to focus more on our Iman, or faith.” ______________________________________________________________________

There’s a big hole in the ABA Indiana Lyons line up that’s going to be hard to fill. The Lyons’ Jermaine Harris, announced his retirement last week. The 6’6” center hails from Macon, Georgia and joined the Lyons in 2019.

Shouting encouragement from the bench, he was the team’s biggest fan as well as one of its players. Showing off his dance moves between quarters, Jermaine was both athlete and entertainer.

“I want to thank Coach Brown and Mrs Brown for letting me be a part of the Indiana Lyons - the memory I share with this team was great,” he wrote. “We made it to the ABA Elite Eight and I love this team.We came up short but I am so proud of the way the whole team fights through adversity.

“It is a sad day for me knowing that it all had to come to an end at 38 years of age,” he wrote. “I want to thank all the Indiana Lyons Fans who have been there for us the whole season. God is good and I know the next chapter in my life will be good. It is sad when your mind says you can do it but your body say no. I have no regrets.

“Thanks to my wife, Ashley Johnson, for always supporting me, making me smile and pushing me to be the best.

Once a Lyon, always a Lyon.” ______________________________________________
