Thoughts and Prayers Are Not Enough: We Need to Do More

A respected second home where they are treated like family.”

Not only does The Willow Center connect with their clients, but they are also well connected to the community.

Community Crossing Grants Awarded

Three Hendricks County governmental entities will be receiving state matching funds for local road projects through Community Crossings, a component of Governor Eric J. Holcom’s Next Level Roads program.

The Community Crossings initiative has provided more than $931 million in state matching funds for local construction projects since 2016. Communities submitted applications for funding during a highly competitive call for projects held in January. Applications were evaluated based on need and current conditions and impacts to safety and economic development. Funding for Community Crossings comes from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund.

In Hendricks County, the grants were awarded to:

Our Historic Places

Every year in May, local preservation groups, state historical societies, and business and civic organizations across the country celebrate Preservation Month through events that promote historic places and heritage tourism, and that demonstrate the social and economic benefits of historic preservation.

The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America’s historic and archeological resources.

Since 1983, 22 listings on the National Register have been made. In the Thirty-year-old Jeremiah Depew arrived in Danville coming weeks, we will in 1834, to establish a medical practice.

Mill Creek East Students Ask For Help; Community Says, “WE CAN”

CR 1000 S at SR 39 to Close For 3 Weeks

Jennifer Hall pictured receiving checks from Homemakers President (Rosie Lenihan) and Master Gardener President (Steve Pearl).

Jennifer Hall, Preschool Teacher with Mill Creek East Elementary, initiated a gardening project like no other in Hendricks County. As she reached out to the community for help the response was “WE CAN.” Cascade High School’s FFA constructed seven raised beds for her students and to share with the school.

Hall applied for a Hendricks Co. Extension Homemakers Teacher Grant. Homemakers said “WE CAN” and awarded $100 to the project. Homemakers then contacted their peers in Master Gardeners, who also said “WE CAN” with matching funds and seeds.

This is only the beginning – soon the students will plant, grow, learn, and share their harvest. They hope to have fall produce so the school may serve it for lunch!!

Hendricks Co. Extension Homemakers, Master Gardeners and 4-H will be doing their best to plant, grow, learn, and share “ I CAN - U CAN 2!” throughout the County.

For Teacher Grant information contact the Hendricks Co. Extension Office – 317-7459260. All teachers in the County are eligible – funds used for education.

The Indiana Department of Transportation announces Hendricks C.R. 1000 South will close just north of the I-70 and SR 39 interchange beginning on or after Monday, May 10. This is directly across from the Love’s Truck Stop.

The closing is for the contractor to reconstruct the approach to S.R. 39.

The county road is scheduled to reopen Monday, May 31, weather permitting.

The interchange modification project is is scheduled to open to traffic in the fall of 2021.

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 rather wish Lizton was still called New Elizabeth. No reason other than if the name had to be shortened, I would have preferred Lizzie.

Lizzie, Indiana, is where I’d rather be.

Perry Winkle, Crawfordsville Weekly Journal correspondent, described New Elizabeth in an 1859 account of a journey that passed through the Union Township village.

It was “quaint and quiet, with low and dingy houses and muddy streets.”

Jesse Vieley laid out the town in 1837, naming it for his wife. She was not called New Elizabeth; of that I’m certain.

Perry Winkle called New Elizabeth an old place, “once celebrated for its TwentyThree-Mile House” midway between Crawfordsville and Indianapolis.

“The rich, black soil” surrounding New Elizabeth, Perry reported, “has been covered to a considerable extent with water,” but timber clearing was converting it to farmland.

“What was once called the swamps of Boone and Hendricks will become the best farming land in the State.”

The village anticipated a gravel road connecting it to Danville.

Lizton never occupied “a forward place” in the county, saith the 1914 county historian, although it claimed “prosperous and public-spirited citizens.”

Could be. Between 1,200-1,500 attended a political gathering at a “beautiful grove” just east of town in August 1868. It was an election year, culminating with Ulysses Grant sworn in as president.

The crowd began with “hickory wagons loaded with young ladies, with the wagons decked with small flags, accompanied by a martial band of music and a large number on horses pass(ing) through town.”

The actual words three speakers uttered were not recorded, but from the report given by the Daily State Sentinel, I conclude they were racially tinged. I’ve not time to delve.

The following September, New Elizabeth hosted an agricultural exposition. Jacob Kennedy, sweet potato plant seller, offered a $10 lamb as premium for the best half bushel of sweet potatoes raised from his sprouts. William Davis took the prize.

Irish potatoes, corn, apples, peaches, pears, onions – “in short, specimens of everything raised in the garden, orchard and field” were displayed.

Only sweet potatoes won a premium. It was, after all, Jacob’s exposition.

New Elizabeth was growing. The “little village” had two new dry goods stores, with a second-floor Masonic Lodge ensconced in one of them, along the new railroad.

“A spirit of enterprise has been awakened.”

In keeping with journalistic tradition, one paper described the June 1870 agonizing 13-hour death of a New Elizabeth woman when a can of coal oil she was pouring into a stove exploded. “Her body was literally burned into a crisp.”

Dear Editor already knows of the fellow who in July 1870 pawned a stolen silver watch in New Elizabeth for whiskey, redeemed it, lost it gambling and was caught roughly five months later.

A January 1871 headline, “Dead and Eaten by Swine,” caught my attention.

Found in a wooded area near Southport in early 1871, Hickman Hall of New Elizabeth was consumed to his bones by hogs. He was identified by his boots, a ring, his teeth and the remnants of his clothing.

The 23-year-old Montgomery County schoolteacher disappeared in December 1870 while visiting his physician brother in Indianapolis. His case was never solved, although foul play was suspected.

His remains are at Vieley Cemetery, the boneyard that two years later accepted numerous New Elizabeth cholera victims, some buried in haste and little ceremony.

Many overcome by that “pernicious fever,” as some called it, died within four to seven hours. One September 1873 report claimed that out of 108 families there, only five remained. The rest had fled. An 80-year-old War of 1812 veteran succumbed, along with his two-year-old son.

New Elizabeth, on the “Crawfordsville Railroad,” had earlier died around May 1873, when “the old awkward post office name” was abbreviated to Lizton by none other than the Postmaster General. That’s what the Indianapolis Journal claimed. There were five other Elizabeths and Elizabeth towns. The village had familiarly been called Liztown.

The new name “sounds well, and is convenient.”

Then in late September 1874, three I.B.&W. rail cars loaded with ice went off the tracks near Lizton, and their entire contents were lost.

Since it happened near the “convenient” village and not New Elizabeth, my interest melted quickly.

Paul Miner Lizton (formerly New Elizabeth) ______________________________________________________________________

Pickleball Courts Aplenty At Brownsburg

The Town of Brownsburg’s pickleball community will celebrate the long-awaited opening of six new courts at Stephens Park (605 Stephen Dr.) during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, May 8 at 10 a.m.

Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. A hybrid of tennis and table tennis, pickleball is played on a netted court. The sport is enjoyed by players of all ages.

“We’ve had requests for additional pickleball courts from our community for years, which is why we’re so pleased to provide this space for players,” said Brownsburg Parks Director Travis Tranbarger. Currently, there are two pickleball courts at Arbuckle Acres Park (200 N. Green St.).

Other new features on the 3.2-acre park include a variety of stationary exercise equipment and a new universal playground.

“One of our goals is ensuring that as we add and upgrade playground equipment to our parks it is accessible to children of all needs,” said Tranbarger.

“While Stephens Park was once a quiet neighborhood park, I believe it will see new life thanks to these play features.”

Improvements to the park were funded by a park district bond.

Visitors also will find year-round restrooms and a walking trail along the border of the park. Additional features, including a natural playground made up of logs and rocks, will be added in future. ___________

Particpates In Symposium

Instructors are currently teaching classes at Avon Community Church of God. ____________________________________________________

Gain is also looking into to wind instrument instruction in the future and hoping to develop relationships with other school districts and the homeschool community.

Gain Music Academy works with everyone from sixyear-olds, looking to have fun and learn a new instrument to high school students, preparing for their college auditions, to adults interested in revisiting their love of music.

“We have a very broad and diverse group of students.

If your goal is to major in music, we will prepare you for that. In fact, we have never not had a student get into the school they auditioned for and every one of them has been offered a scholarship of some sort,” Gain said. “But you don’t have to be on a college track. We also teach for fun.”

The academy also works with students with special needs. While they are not certified in music therapy, Gain and the staff believe music to be a universal language and everyone should have the chance to learn music.

Gain is a member of the award-winning Night Owl Country Band and has gone on tour with the group. __________________________________________________

“Just because you have unique abilities, doesn’t mean you can’t play. We can work with you. I’ve had students with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, dyslexia, autism and non-verbal among others. It’s amazing because you can see it in their eyes, on their faces, that they love music,” Gain said.

“Not everyone picks it up in two lessons. Our job is to figure out how to help you grow. You don’t have to fit into our box,” Gain added.

The Academy is currently offering virtual lessons and in-person lessons. They typically hold a recital each year (this year it will be on May 15) and they live stream the recital as well for anyone interested in checking out what Gain Music Academy is all about.

Instructors also post performances online for students and the community.

In the end, it’s all about heart.

“I am huge on musicality,” Gain said. “Anyone can play notes on a page but if you can’t play from the heart, why bother? It’s a communication, it’s being vulnerable.

The goal is to touch people’s hearts.”

The Garage Door

The garage door is typically the largest exterior feature of our homes after the shingles and siding. It is the largest moving element by far and can easily weigh 100 to 250 pounds or more. Most of us in today’s world have some sort of an opener attached to the door so we are not doing the heavy lifting. We push the button and up it goes, on a good day, but if it does not, it is an awfully bad day.

Here are some maintenance tips for the garage door and opener: ) Watch and Listen: The door should open and close smoothly and evenly. No jerking, grinding or scaping. Listen and observe the garage door as it goes in both directions. Watch the rollers and confirm they function and stay in the tracks.

2) Tighten up the Hardware: The average garage door goes up and down over a thousand times a year, vibrating with each motion. Check the hinges and roller brackets to confirm they remain tight.

3) Test the Balance: If the garage door is not properly balanced, the opener will be overworked and not last as long. There should be a release cord (typically with a red handle) when pulled allows the door to be manually opened and closed. You should be able to open the door with ten to fifteen pounds of lift pressure. The door should remain in a position about halfway opened without falling back down. If it is hard to lift or does not stay opened, it is time to call the professional to adjust the springs.

4) Lubricate the Moving Parts: Any hardware store should have dedicated Garage Door Lubricant. Every moving part should be lubricated; hinges, rollers, bearing plates, springs, opener rail. If in doubt, I suggest watching a YouTube video that guides you through all these parts needing to be lubricated.

5) Clean the tracks: You do not want to lubricate the track the rollers move in causing the track to collect dirt.

You do want to wipe it out. Dust and debris collect in the track and can hamper the roller action.

6) Test the Auto-Reverse Safety Features: If your opener was purchased in the past 25 years there should be two safety features; the photocell and the pressure reverse.

If it is older, it is time to buy a new opener. The photocells are to be mounted around 6 inches above the surface on each side of the opening. When the beam between the two cells is broken, the door should reverse and go back up. To test the pressure reverse, place a 2x4 down on the ground below the photocells, and when the door comes down on the 2x4 it should reverse and go back up.

WARNING: Before testing, confirm a metal garage door is equipped with a reinforcement strut across the top panel. This helps strengthen the door and prevent bending the door if it does not reverse easily. If the door does not reverse, be ready to pull the release lever to prevent damage to the door or opener. These safety features are designed to prevent injury to the living and damage to both the door and anything that may be in its path.

Keep that door working properly and have a good day! ______________________________________________

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.]

This column was first published in 2009.

I don’t feel like writing much this week. I am still upset by the sudden loss of one of my best friends, Kirby the beagle. Kirby was one of the first friends I made when I came to Danville. My human was walking me around the square and we met this little energetic bundle of fun at the door of Courthouse Grounds. I found out later that Tracy was Kirby’s human.

Just being at Courthouse Grounds once in a while gave Kirby quite an edge on most of us when it came to knowing about the latest goings-on in Danville. A lot of those goings-on were first planned around the tables at CG, and Kirby got to listen to those plans from the ground up!

Of course, Kirby was one of the original members of the Animal Action Agenda Committee and had lots of input into our ideas for improving things for all us Danville pets. He was smart, he was friendly, and we will all miss him. Our most heartfelt sympathies go out to Tracy, who always said that Kirby was “the perfect dog.”

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy I felt a disturbance in the squirrel world. Archy was waiting for me.

“It’s true,” he said. “There’s a counter organization to the Squirrel Salon. They call themselves the Riled-Up Anti-Intellectual Alliance. They promote pessimism and revel in rumors.”

“But how...,” I started to ask.

“We think it was one of those rare cases of attitude transfer from humans to squirrels. Apparently, a couple of squirrels were over-exposed to Facebook and got their feathers ruffled, so to speak. They had their first indignation meeting last night.”

I asked what an indigantion meeting was all about.

“It’s like an echo chamber for aggravation, a gathering of umbrage takers, a round-up of disgruntlement. Basically, they take turns complaining.”

“About what?” I wondered.

“Anything,” Archy said. “Everything. From government to grocery stores.

“And what does that do for them?” I wondered aloud.

“It affirms the negative,” the squirrel explained. “It creates an energy force and a false feeling of self-importance.

I’m sure you’re familiar with the human equivalent.”

I sighed.

“Some of our squirrel scientists are working on an indignation vaccination,” Archy offered. “But we don’t know how long it will take. In the meantime, the members of the Squirrel Salon are working on alternative solutions.”

“Such as?” I asked.

“Pointing out the positive,” he replied. “It’s not an immediate cure, but it can accumulate. Plant a seed of joy.”

In my mind, I began to hear Johnny Mercer’s song from 1944: You’ve got to accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don’t mess with Mister In-Between You’ve got to spread joy up to the maximum Bring gloom down to the minimum Have faith or pandemonium Liable to walk upon the scene

Archy was tapping his foot to the tune in my head.

“They don’t write ‘em like that anymore,” he said with a smile.

One of the best things about living in Hendricks County has been the parks. So many choices! Each community has its town parks. Then there are township parks. Even the county has a park department. The amazing thing to me is, there’s not a bad one in the bunch. Each place offers a variety of activities and all are well-maintained. The past few weeks I’ve noticed maintenance crews at several of the parks working and was curious about what goes into getting the parks ready for the busy summer season. So, I asked.

At Avon Town Hall Park, I spoke with Gary Gamble who indicated that since his crews remove snow from the trails during the winter, they need to remove the plows and store them away. Mowing equipment is inspected and readied. Trails are a big part of the Avon Park system so winter storm damage (broken and downed trees, etc.) needs to be cleaned up. Landscaping projects and weeding is a big part of their workload as well. Gamble commented, “The Park is no different than your home except on a lot bigger scale!”

A fresh coat of paint makes a baseball diamond sparkle. ___________________________________________________

Work started early in spring prepping the Little League ball diamonds, according to Danville Park Director Will Lacey. Spiffing up landscaping and painting also fill his staff’s days but it’s Gill Aquatic Center’s swimming area, waterslides, lazy river, and splash pad that require the most attention from the department. Located at Ellis Park, the aquatic center is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend.

At Hummel Park, Guilford Township Park employees have been grooming ballfields, de-winterizing restrooms,

The re-created prairie at McCloud Nature Park is greening up after an early spring controlled burn. ___________________________________________________

Ryan Lemley Hendricks County Parks and Recreation (HCPR) Superintendent confirmed they’re mowing and mulching too. Invasive plant removal is a priority at McCloud Nature Park. A crew of 34 community volunteers showed up recently on Saturday to “weed wrangle”. An inventory of dead trees in need of removal, burning off the prairie, and trail maintenance are also important activities before the summer crowds start flocking to the park.

HCPR also maintains the western section of the Vandalia Trail from Coatesville to Amo. Here the department is removing dead ash trees and invasive species. Work continues on acquiring easements and extending the trail five additional miles to Clayton.

Lemley confesses most of the HCPR efforts are being directed to W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park which is due to open later this summer. More information and updates regarding the Grand Opening can be found on their website, hendrickscountyparks.org.

The Washington Township Park in Avon is busy planning its summer programs, camps, and concert series. The splash pad opens Memorial Day weekend.

With the “official” summer season beginning in just over three short weeks, the local parks departments have their work cut out for them. It all pays off when residents and visitors take advantage of the great facilities and activities offered. Now, where to go first?!

All the park departments indicated they are planning to hold summer concerts, camps, programs, fireworks, etc.

BUT with the COVID-19 situation, things could change.

Clayton High School Classmates Gather at Former “Hang Out” in Belleville

Nine classmates and seven spouses of the 1959 graduating class of Clayton High School recently joined for lunch at an historical location in the Belleville Community.

Sam and Dee’s Diner had originally been built in the 1950’s as the “Bell-Inn” drive-in and quickly became a hang-out as well as a source of employment (remember car hops?) for many high school students in the area.

Many would make the trip to experience fountain drinks, various sandwiches, onion rings, fries, and ice cream, as well as to see or be seen by fellow students.

While enjoying good food and great service now, memories of special times and budding relationship were shared at this mini-reunion. This group meets bi-monthly and is open to anyone interested in sharing stories of the more gentle and innocent times of our lives. For future gatherings, call Jerry Bayse at 317-539-6878 for information. _______________________________________________________________________________________________

Girl in the Green Dress

It was 1944 and America was deep in the throws of World War II. A young man named Jack wanted to join the war effort and become a fighter pilot. He enlisted and, after Basic Training, went to school in New York for flight training. After graduation, he had some time before going to England. He liked to read so he went to the library and found a book that looked interesting and checked it out. While reading it one day a card fell out. It was a library card and had a woman’s name and address on it. He put it in his wallet but soon forgot about it.

In a couple of weeks, he left for England and found himself flying dangerous missions over Germany. He came close to death many times. One day he was going through his wallet and found the card. On a whim, he wrote her a letter telling her how he got her address and how much he liked the book. In a couple of weeks, he received an answer. Her letter was so uplifting, and he wrote back immediately. He taped her letter on the instrument panel of his plane for luck. After some months of fighting, he earned an R and R (rest and relaxation). He would be sent back to New York for a couple of weeks. He immediately wrote to the girl and told her he wanted to meet her.

She wrote back and said she would be waiting for him in Grand Central Train Station at 2:00 on Sunday and would be holding a copy of the book they liked so well. He asked for a picture but she never responded.

He came home to New York and on Sunday went to meet her. He was so nervous. As he walked through the station a very beautiful young lady came toward him. She had strawberry blond hair and was wearing a beautiful, pale green dress. She smiled and said, “Hi, Soldier.” He looked and, darn, no book. He tipped his hat and walked on. In the back of the train station, he found a lady holding a book, their book. She was middle aged, kind of pudgy, and graying hair. He introduced himself and told her how much he had longed to meet her. He also asked her to join him for lunch. She had a puzzled look and replied,” This is really strange, but a young lady asked me to stand here and if a soldier asked me to lunch, I was to tell him that she is in the diner across the street and she had strawberry blond hair and a pale green dress.

Ghost Highways In Hendricks

By Betty Bartley Most people are familiar with ghost towns, places that once flourished but later faded, but few know about the ghost highways that once connected them. An example of ghost town meets ghost highways is among the items in this item from The Republican in 1918.

“Rainstown: Between thirty-five and forty wagon loads of household goods passed on the Dixie highway, Friday and Saturday.”

Rainstown was located between Pittsboro and Lizton, on what is now State Road 136. In 1915, that road became a part of the Dixie Highway.

Plans for the Dixie Highway began in 1914 as a way to connect the southern states with the Midwestern states, for commerce as well as social reasons.

Hoosier native and automobile promoter Carl G. Fisher was one of the supporters of the new route, as he had been with the Lincoln Highway, one of the earliest transcontinental automobile routes, running from Times Square in New York to Lincoln Park in San Francisco.

The Dixie Highway Association promoted the route, funded by individuals, businesses, and local governments. The highway was constructed and expanded from 1917 to 1927.

The route was marked by painted markers on utility poles, consisting of a red stripe with the white letters, “DH” written on it, with a white stripe above and below it.

The Dixie Highway branch that passed by Rainstown connected Indianapolis to Danville, Illinois, then north to Chicago.

An earlier promoted road was the Pike’s Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway. The route through Hendricks County followed the existing Rockville Road, and was similarly marked on the utility poles with a red stripe over a white stripe with the letters “PPOO” in black.

A booster of the PPOO visiting Danville in 1915 predicted, “the thousands of automobile tourists who will travel over the route will leave a stream of gold in their wake, and Danville is bound to get her share - and it will be new money for this locality.”

Of course, the National Road (now US 40) was the first major road constructed in Hendricks County, but it was a federal project. It was the first major improved highway, built between 1811 and 1837 along what was known as the Cumberland Pike or Old Trails Road. Among the many ghost towns along the old National Road is the town of Jacksonville, called Jacktown by those who knew it well, and supposedly the spot where the funding for the original National road ran out.

Old roads often received new names for a variety of reasons. In 1919, the Pike’s Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway was named as part of the new Pershing Transport Route, a memorial to General John Joseph “Black Jack” Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I. The same road, from Danville west to the Illinois border, also serves as a memorial to Hoosier journalist Ernie Pyle, killed while on assignment during World War II. Those crossing the street on the north side of Danville’s Historic Court House Square, are not only walking across Main Street, but across history on the Rockville Road, Pike’s Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway, Pershing Transport Route and Ernie Pyle Memorial Highway. ______________________________________________

Hendricks Power Project to Provide More Reliable Power

Hendricks Power, along with Wabash Valley Power Alliance, is currently working on enhancements that will improve system reliability, increase capacity, and improve switching capability throughout the northwest portion of our service territory.

This project, known as the Jackson Township Heritage Lake - Montclair (JHM) Project, involves building a new substation known as Jackson Township Substation in Putnam County and connecting it to the electrical grid by constructing two new 69 kV transmission lines, known as the North Line and South Line. The North Line will extend 6.8 miles from the existing Monclair 69 kV Substation in Hendricks County to the new Jackson Township Substation. The South Line will extend 8.4 miles from the existing Heritage Lake 69 kV Substation in Putnam County to include the new Jackson Substation.

This expansion will have automatic switching capability in the event of a transmission outage. The project will also enable Hendricks Power to perform feeder switching without having to “blink” members.

Project planning began in 2017 and progressed to route selection design in 2018.

Transmission and substation construction began in the fall of 2020 and is scheduled for completion in fall of 2021. Currently, the transmission line between Jackson and Montclair Substations is under construction, and the line between Jackson Township and Heritage Lake will begin later this spring.

If you have any questions about this project or construction, please call 888-997-0766, visit www.wvpa.com/jhm, or email jhm@wvpa.com. ______________________________________________________________________

Through a gift to the Hendricks County Community Foundation, you can make our community better, forever.

Would you like to make sure your yearly gifts to your church are continued, forever? We can help you do that.

Want to give back forever to a charity you’ve volunteered for? We can help you do that.

Want to have a permanent impact in our community on a cause you care about? We can help you do that.

HCCF has the strength and flexibility to help you create the legacy you want.

Have you ever considered how your favorite charity would continue without your support?

In 2007, Tom and Nancy Newlin asked themselves that very question. The Newlins are longtime members of the Plainfield Friends Church and recognized an opportunity to partner with the Hendricks County Community Foundation to realize one of their charitable goals. They created a lasting legacy when they opened an endowed fund to continue their tithing to their church forever.

Jackie Egger mopped the floors of Mill Creek West Elementary School for 14 years, showing in his quiet and humble way how much he loved children. He left a gift in his will to make things better for those children. His love lives on through his memorial fund which provides over $2,000 in classroom grants to the Mill Creek School Corporation, year after year.

The Community Foundation’s focus on permanent impact inspired Jackie, and Tom and Nancy. HCCF offered them an opportunity to continue supporting organizations that mean so much to them long after their time passes.

The Community Foundation will continue their legacy – along with those of many other Hendricks County donors – forever.

So, what legacy will you leave?

Tri Kappa Flowers at Huntington Bank When the Circus Came to Town

The Danville Tri Kappa sorority will be having the annual Flower Sale this Saturday, May 8th. Thanks to the generosity of Huntington Bank, we will be in their parking lot from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., or until sold out.

The beautiful hanging baskets, planters, and small pots of individual flowers are

ready to make your space colorful for the summer season. These make great gifts for all the special women in your life for Mother’s Day. Profits from these plants go towards community grants and high school scholarships for Danville seniors. Come pick up a plant and support the community at the same time.

Artist At Work and At Rest

Looking for some whimsy? Local artist Joanie Kisner has new series of artwork that bring out the feelings of wonder and excitement “When the Circus Came to Town.”

“Inspiration came from photos I have taken of Hendricks County barns, finding circus posters with Danville on them, and adding animals to the fun,” she explained.

The result is a world where zebras amble across the barnyard and balloons float above a family of giraffes next to a barn pasted with circus posters. There are five images in the series.

You can see them (and buy them) at the Gallery on the Square, 51 S. Washington, Danville. Sizes range from 16x20 in. canvas to 5x7 in. greeting cards. There are five different scenes. Perfect for Mothers Day or to add a bit of fun to your home or office.

A Mother’s Request

When he was a lad in Kentucky and that’s a bit ago, Uncle John Kirkham went with his mother to the county seat. On a public corner they saw a colored woman, a slave, being whipped. Her cries could be heard from blocks away.

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

Letters To The Editor One Thousand Eight Hundred & Thirty-Seven

That number is the total number of the words contained in the three letters on this page.

Most newspaper put limits on the length of letters to the editor, usually between 100 and 300 words. The reason is not to save space, but to have the writer use the fewest words to convey their message.

Space is a commodity for newspapers. We sell ads to support the publication of the paper and pay the staff. To purchase the space taken by these letters would cost over $500.

The largest percentage of space taken up in this newspaper is not paid advertisements, but news. We welcome news items. We are one of the few newspapers that publishes obituaries, engagement, wedding and anniversary at no cost. We consider these events to be news.

Two of the letters on this page were not directed to us, but to the Town of Danville. The lists and long references, were intended for the Town Council and Staff. Such letters should be long to properly state their greivences.

Letters to the editor, however, should not contain lists and citations. Letters to the editor should be concise. The late Betty Weesner said that in her journalism classes, she was taught that good writing for a newspaper should be like a woman’s skirt: long enough to cover the subject, but short enjoy to be interesting.

We reproduce this anonymous poem, found in the pages of The Republican in the 1890’s, showing the need for brevity is not new:

If you’ve got a thought that’s happy, Boil it down.

Make it short, and crisp, and snappy Boil it down.

When your brain its coin has minted, Down the page your pen has sprinted, Boil it down.

Take out every surplus letter Boil it down.

Fewer syllables the better Boil it down.

Make your meaning plain; express it So we’ll know, not merely guess it; Then, my friend, ere you address it: Boil it down.

The Republican

during the peak rush hours seems unrealistically low to me.

- Figure 6 in that study projects, for all nearby intersections, the directional flow and volume of traffic originating from the Miles/Horton development. That Figure 6 seems to indicate there would be no vehicles – not one -- entering or leaving Warrior Drive that originate from the Miles/ Horton development. Unless I have misread, that projection seems totally unrealistic.

The above questionable projections notwithstanding, the study indicates that traffic signals would be warranted at US36 & Warrior Drive, US36 & Clear Creek Drive and US36 & CR200W with left turn and right turn lanes at each. The study does not, however, indicate whether or when those traffic controls would be installed nor who would pay for them.

The major failure of this study, however, is that the eastern most point it addresses is US36 & 39N (Urban St.). It does not in any way whatsoever consider traffic flow through the town of Danville – i.e. from US36 & 39N through to the divided lanes east of Kroger. Accordingly, even if all the assumptions in the study are reasonably accurate, the entire study is of little, if any, value as it does not consider the major congestion problem area.

Town Council Meeting 4.21.21 I was encouraged by Mr. Morgan’s, Town Manager, report to the Council of recent meetings he and his staff have had with representatives of D. R. Horton, Hendricks County and INDOT regarding possible solutions to the traffic congestion problem. After lengthy discussion, it was agreed that Mr. Lacey will organize and head a committee to address this issue. It was estimated this study could be a five-year undertaking. So, perhaps sometime around 2026/27, the town can begin the process of implementing improvements which, quite possibly, could take an additional five years or more.

Conclusion Given all the above, I believe the Plan Commission and Town Council must put this Miles/Horton development on hold, at a minimum, until this study is completed -- a reassessment can be made at that time.

Thank you Dave Potter CC: Town Council ______________________________________________

Thursday, May 6, 2021 Preserving Danville

By the late 1970’s steel manufacturers, automakers, and other American industry had started divestment in the U.S. labor force and began moving their industries overseas.

This caused a trickle affect to other industries in the United States leaving small towns empty, economically poor, and people moved away. Indiana became part of what was known as the Rust Belt.

Hartford City is a prime example of how towns were affected. It is the County Seat of Blackford County, where my father grew up. What was once a booming and economically stable town with beautiful neighborhoods, turned unrecognizable to what it once was. Industry disappeared or moved to neighboring cities to set up shop, leaving Hartford City with a Courthouse and residents that had to travel out of town to work. I encourage anyone reading this to take a drive up to Hartford City. There is beautiful farmland all around it, but you will see what happens when a community can’t support its town due to unfortunate events or other towns where the community chooses not to support each other.

Danville has a different story. We are the County Seat, and it seems like everyone else around us is ready to progress, yet Danville keeps getting held back. Is it fear of the unknown? That is my best guess.

Wexford Addition is slowly selling lots and building very nice homes on the north side of town. Woodfield Addition still has a field left empty between the current addition and State Road 39. The reality is that bigger homes won’t be built until we have more businesses in our town.

Business will not grow until we have more residents. Families will move in if we have homes available, but the majority of people can’t afford the Wexford and Woodfield homes.

Growth is good and yes there will be growing pains for Danville, but our town and downtown can still be preserved and thrive. Our town and community don’t want to get rid of our historical structures, homes and downtown, but we can grow and build around it to continue improving what we already have. This will also help our Danville Community School System. Schools are the heart and soul of any community. Schools will make or break a town quicker than anything else and should be fully supported by its community.

The people of Dodge City, Kansas did something very unusual. They voted to tax themselves permanently for investments in the area facilities and infrastructure. The idea was to attract more diverse business to the region, encourage tourism and to improve their own quality of life.

What happened when the community supported this and got involved? They built a show arena, depot, expo center and water park. The people of Dodge City embraced what needed to happen for the sake of their city. That is a refreshing concept. With a population of roughly 27,000, a median salary of $51,903, and average home value of $121,001, they still want to give back because they realize it not only helps their community but also improves their home value and quality of life.

To those who say they don’t want change, yet want to enhance and preserve Danville, how do you propose we do that? Is it better to invest in nothing, or in our community?

I am hopeful most of us in Danville have the mindset of the Dodge City community. Yard signs and negative words shouldn’t scare anyone.

Notice is hereby given pursuant to Indiana Code § 6-1.1-20-3.5 that the Board of School Trustees (the “Board”) of Avon Community School Corporation (the “School Corporation”) did, on April 26, 2021, make a preliminary determination to issue bonds and enter into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) for the 2021 Expansion, Efficiency, and Improvement Projects, including the renovation, improvements and expansion of Avon High School, Avon Intermediate School East, Avon Intermediate School West, and other school facilities within the school corporation, including site improvements and the purchase of technology and equipment (the “Projects”). The Lease will be for a maximum term of 22 years with a maximum armual Lease rental of $12,707,000. The maximum armual Lease rental has been estimated based upon an estimated principal amount of bonds of $89,000,000, estimated interest rate of 5.00%, and total estimated interest costs of $56,244,889.

As required by Indiana Code§ 6-1.l-20-3.5(b)(l), the following information was available to the public at the public hearings on the preliminary determination: (i) the School Corporation’s current and projected armual debt service payments divided by the net assessed value of taxable property within the School Corporation, which is 0.93%; and (ii) the sum of the School Corporation’s outstanding long term debt plus the outstanding long term debt of other taxing units that include any other territory of the School Corporation divided by the net assessed value of taxable property within the School Corporation, which is 8.90%.

The School Corporation’s current debt service levy is $30,406,393 and the current rate is $0.9991. After the School Corporation enters into the proposed Lease and the bonds are issued, the debt service levy will increase by a maximum of $12,707,000 and the debt service rate will increase by a maximum of $0.3938. However, as existing obligations mature, the anticipated net increase to the Debt Service Fund tax rate is expected to be $0.00.

The estimated amount of the School Corporation’s debt service levy and rate that will result during the following 10 years if the School Corporation enters into the lease and issues the bonds, after considering any changes that will occur to the debt service levy and rate during that period on account of any outstanding bonds or lease obligations that will mature or terminate during that period:

Notice is hereby given of a public hearing to be held by the Hendricks County Board of Zoning Appeals on Monday, May 17th at 7:30 PM in the Hendricks County Government Center, 355 South Washington Street Danville, Indiana in Meeting Rooms 4 and 5; to consider the application of VAR 12-21: Kyle & Stephanie Gordon Variance to allow construction of an accessory structure prior to principal dwelling on a 2.89-acre AGR(E)-zoned parcel in Center Township: Section 30, Township 16, Range 1E; Key No. 02-1-30-61E 401-004; located on southeast corner of intersection at E CR 250 N and N CR 300 E; 2387 N CR 300 E, Danville, IN 46122.

The Projects involve the opening of some new school facility space; however, the cost of such new space will be offset by the renovation and improvement of existing space to make it more efficient. Therefore, the School Corporation does not expect to annually incur a significant increase in cost to operate such new facility space. The purpose of the Lease is to provide for the Projects.

If a valid petition pursuant to Indiana Code§ 6-1.1-20-3.5 is received within 30 days from the first publication of this notice, the proposed debt service or Lease payments must be approved in an election on a local public question held under Indiana Code§ 6-1.1-20-3.6.

IN THE HENDRICKS SUPERIOR COURT #1 2021 TERM CAUSE NO. 32D01-2104-AD-23

IN RE THE ADOPTION OF: A.J., a minor child.

NOTICE TO UNNAMED FATHER The unnamed putative father of the child born to Ashley R. Barnes, f/k/a Ashley R. Jewell on April 13, 2018, or the person who claims to be the father of the child born to Ashley R. Barnes on April 13, 2018, is notified that a petition for adoption of the child was filed in the office of the clerk of Hendricks Superior Court #1, 51 W Main St, Rm #104, Danville, IN 46122.

If the unnamed putative father seeks to contest the adoption of the child, the unnamed putative father must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court within thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice. This notice may be served by publication.

If the unnamed putative father does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice, the above named court shall hear and determine the petition for adoption. The unnamed putative father’s consent is irrevocably implied and the unnamed putative father loses the right to contest the adoption or the validity of the unnamed putative father’s implied consent to the adoption. The unnamed putative father loses the right to establish paternity of the child, by affidavit or otherwise, in Indiana or any other jurisdiction.

Nothing Ashley R. Barnes or any one else says to the unnamed putative father of the child relieves the unnamed putative father of his obligations under this notice.

Under Indiana law, a putative father is a person who is named as or claims that he may be the father of a child born out of wedlock but who has not yet been legally proven to be the child’s father.

This notice complies with IC 31-19-4-4 but does not exhaustively set forth the unnamed putative father’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes.
