Find It Fresh At Hendricks County Farmers Markets
The season started last Saturday with the Danville Chamber of Commerce’s Farmers Market throwing the opening pitch. While many of the fresh vegetables were not market-ready, there were plenty of plants, crafts, and locally produced meats. From the look on the faces of these two market shoppers, the donut crop was at its peak. For more information about Farmers Markets in Hendricks County, see the article on page A-9.

When the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra began performing in Ellis Park in 1986, a concrete stage was built and a removable cover added later.

Funding for the new amphitheater came from the Park’s Non-Reverting Fund, the Town’s Host Fund, and insurance money from the old structure. No taxpayer dollars were used in the construction.

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: During route exploration spanning 1827-1828 for the eventual National Road (Cumberland Road) through Indiana, a federal commissioner detoured to Danville, “the Seat of Justice” for Hendricks County. Danville was “an entirely new place, with a post office, but no court house.” Danville, along with Greencastle, was too far north of a direct route between Indianapolis and Terre Haute and Richmond, and so it was bypassed. Belleville was “handsomely situated” on the National Road, a prospectus put out by William H. Henton, Obadiah Harris and L.B. Wison declared in late 1829. It was “considered equal, if not superior, Melville McHaffie’s brick barn, on the Putnam County side of in point of beauty to any U.S. 40, west of Stilesville, is a relic of agricultural wealth that grew site in the country.” along the National Road. In 2012, the National Road Heritage It boasted “a wealthy Association placed an interpretive panel on the site as part of a and populous neighbor- project to highlight the history of the road. ____________________________________________________ hood.” The earliest county map I’ve seen, from 1833, shows only Danville and Belleville. I could not call Belleville wealthy today. The new railroad, Terre Haute & Indianapolis, passed too far away in 1852 to benefit the county’s former cultural and education center. Congressman Oliver Hampton Smith of Indiana in December 1828 called for the road to be 80 feet wide by “cutting off the timber, removing the obstructions and making temporary bridges” to allow traffic to begin until turnpikes could be established. This was 22 years after Congress authorized the project. The Cumberland would be “the grand thoroughfare through which a great portion of emigration, as well as the merchandise” from the east would reach Indiana and the states beyond, Smith declared. County history records the road across the county in 1830 “gave a great advantage to the southern part, this road being a highway for the tide of immigration to the far West.” Many travelers made their homes here. “. . . Practically every farmer kept open house; every home was a hotel, and many of the settlers became moderately wealthy by their hospitality.” One source claims 25 cents was charged for a bed and a meal. Intended to reach the Mississippi, the nation’s first highway ended at Vandalia, Illinois, when federal money ran out. A 1936 retrospective reported $7 million was spent during 25 years of construction. Numerous Acts sought to preserve and repair the road. However, photographs hailing from the advent of the auto show vehicles buried to their axles in implacable mud. Even before reaching Indiana, travelers encountered enormous rocks that “render(ed) the road almost impassable.” Ruts reportedly reached depths of 18-24 inches. Indiana contracts in late 1829 were awarded “upon terms truly favorable” at $120.21 per mile. Work began at Indianapolis in 1828, heading east and west to reach Richmond and Terre Haute. The state was spanned in 1834. U.S. 40 follows some of the original route. I’ve no idea how much traffic Indiana’s portion of the road totaled, but Kentucky reported 1829’s figures at 4,214 horses, 2,005 mules, 51,041 hogs, 1,015 “stall fed cattle,” and 303 sheep, at an estimated value of $896,708. The total was “far short of last year, especially in the hog list.” Imagine the mud and manure mix spanning that state. Contracts for grading 12 miles of the road were let in Belleville in late July 1831 at an average of $3.65 per rod, “a considerable portion of which is deep excavation and embankment.” I figure that to be $1,168 per mile. Bridges and culverts were let at the same time. Stone masonry contracts ranged from $6-$6.50, and brick masonry at $3.37-$4 “per perch.” A perch is 16-1/2 feet (a rod); that goes back to the 9th Century, I understand, a time when English was horribly misspelled and one referred to “our Lord the King” when measurements were described. I must ask county engineer John Ayers how he words his bid documents. A November 1834 call for 200 “good laboring hands” offered 70 cents per day, payable at month’s end, to build the Illinois section. Each had to provide their own axe, mattock and spade or shovel, and their own board. Tools could be purchased from the section. Although no stumps over 15 inches high were stipulated, with those in the center rounded or trimmed to avoid carriage mishaps, Congress ordered all stumps grubbed out. “The resulting holes and mounds made the road nearly impassable.” Old growth forest holes must have been immense. Trees came in handy when roads were planked in 1850 through Hendricks, Marion, Hancock and Putnam Counties. Paul Miner Lizton ______________________________________________________________________

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Issue of May 14, 1896 Hazelwood: We would like to make inquiry whether or not there is a supervisor for that part of the Clayton and Hazelwood pike which lies between the mud creek bridge and the city of Hiko. If there really is a supervisor for the road, we would earnestly support some plan for inducing him to take pleasure trips over it. Maplewood: Jasper Fisher has three sheep that produced forty-eight pounds of wool, and the three fleeces weighing fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen pounds. Who can beat it? E.J.

The R. and S. boys issued a very creditable number of their paper from this office last week. It is proposed to issue this paper quarterly. Eighteen years ago Sunday, the 10th of May, the Central Normal College was moved from Ladoga to Danville. That was a great day in Danville as the wagons containing the furniture and libraries of the school and effects of the students drove into town. If the school grows in the next eighteen years as it has in those that have gone, who can say what its proportions will then be? Union township has seven graduates. Pecksburg: Four of the Danville boys are playing in the band organized in east Clay. It now consists of ten instruments. New Winchester: Leonard Christie lost a valuable horse last week by the barbed wire route. Stilesville: Oat Hendren has his ice cream parlor running order now and is doing a good business.

Most office environments are considered low-risk in terms of electrical hazards. But that doesn’t mean you should take safety for granted. Just because you’re not working on a factory floor with high-voltage equipment or are operating large machinery outdoors near power lines, don’t assume electrical hazards can’t be present. “Just as at home, you need to keep your nose in the wind and eyes open,” said Chris Gearld, Safety Director at Hendricks Power. “A business setting should be up to code. But we all know mistakes happen, or shortcuts, unfortunately, get taken. No matter where you work, take account of your surroundings. Report things that make you go ‘hmmmm.’ Don’t assume maintenance or management must already know about an issue you see and that everything must be OK.” Hazards and peculiar things office workers should keep watch for include: ▪ Electrical cables that are frayed, loose, or have exposed wires. ▪ Outlets that are worn and won’t hold plugs snugly. ▪ Electrical equipment that gives off a strange odor. ▪ Overheating equipment (those not heated by normal operation). Beware of discolored plastic casings on the equipment or discolored outlet covers. ▪ Overloaded outlets or extension cords. ▪ Equipment that is not working properly. Any faulty equipment, wiring, plugs, etc., should be removed from use immediately and reported to your supervisor or whoever is in charge. Outlets should not be overloaded, so either plug equipment elsewhere or tell your supervisor, who should minimize the need for overloading them. The office may need to have a licensed electrician install additional outlets and circuits to reduce overloading or the need to rely heavily on extension cords. To minimize hazards: ▪ Switch off and unplug appliances when they are not in use and before cleaning. ▪ Turn off all appliances at the end of the day. ▪ Do not force a plug into an outlet if it does not fit. ▪ Do not run electrical cords through high-traffic areas, under carpets or across doorways. ▪ Make sure the electrical load is not too much for any circuit, even when using a surge protector. ______________________________________________

Toes were tapping and smiles were abundant on Tuesday evening, May 4, as Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars dance participants and others involved in the event learned a few dance steps from Arthur Murray instructor, Jamis Wadsworth-Carr. This was the grand kick-off of the upcoming event set for August 21, 2021 at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds’ Expo Hall. The sixth annual fundraiser for the Hendricks County Museum was, of course, cancelled in 2020, so the dancers who had prepared for that event were eager to kick off a new beginning. Hendricks County Museum, located at 170 S. Washington Street in Danville depends on this major fundraiser to fund operations and protect collections of artifacts of our county’s story. This evening of entertainment includes dinner and a great silent auction filled with tempting gifts. Tickets are $70 and will be available starting June 1 at the museum’s website www.hendrickscountymusuem@co.hendricks.in.us or by mailing a check to the museum. ______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Generational Myths That Stigmatize Mental Health By Chase Cotten, Executive Director at The Willow Center Brownsburg, Ind., 317-852-3690 According to Mental Health America, 46% of adults in the US will experience symptoms of mental illness at some point in their lifetime. This year alone, nearly 1 in 5 adults in the US will experience a diagnosable mental illness. Surprisingly, over 56% of adults with a diagnosable mental illness did not receive any professional care for it. Why? I suggest that one of the main reasons why we are not getting the help we need when we need it most is that we are each influenced by generational myths that stigmatize mental health. Here are three examples to consider. 1. Baby Boomer Generation (Born 1946-1964) Myth: “Showing Emotion is Weak.” Raised by survivors of the great depression and World War 1, it makes sense that many members of the Baby Boomer Generation were taught from an early age to grit their teeth and push through difficulties without showing transparent emotions. Although “grit” is a sign of resilience, it can also lead to the conclusion that acknowledging any emotions shows weakness to one’s peers. Self-stifling one’s full emotional response to life’s difficulties (like World War II and the Civil Rights Movement, for example) leads to negative outcomes later in life. This generational stigma leaves many middle-age to older adults with a difficulty feeling and expressing their emotions in a healthy way. Instead, emotions are bottled up – or worse yet, are coped with using substances or unhealthy eating. 2. Generation X (Born 1965 – 1980) Myth: “Needing Help is Shameful.” Generation X lived through one of the most accelerated periods of technological advancement, better connecting them to the world. Raised by Baby Boomers, they were taught from a young age to “pull [themselves] up by their bootstraps,” or to “make [their] own way” in life. Many learned from an early age that signs of strength and value are being able to take care of oneself financially, physically, interpersonally, and emotionally.
Rugged individualism became the societal norm for these adults. Unfortunately, this generational stigma lead to a deep aversion to asking others for help. Needing help, especially help with processing one’s own mental or emotional struggles, is seen as shameful. Shame leads to isolation. 3. Millenials (Born 1981-1996) and Generation Z (Born 1997 – 2015) Myth: “Perfection = Success.” Our two youngest generations, Millenials and Gen Z-ers, have grown up in the internet age, with immediate access to nearly any information on the planet via social media. This hyper-connectedness has benefits, including leading them to be more open to new ideas, more culturally diverse, and more accepting of others different from themselves than previous generations. However, it also has a major drawback: hyper-comparisons. Much of what is posted on social media is a filtered version of reality, more perfect than what is true, leading young folks to unsatisfactorily compare their lives with what they see. This hyper-comparison plus typically high expectations from parents leads to more generational stigma: “If I’m not perfect in my grades, in my appearance, in my career (etc.), then I am not good enough as I am.” Unfortunately, this has lead to dramatically increased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality for young people in the US. But, there is hope! Despite the scary statistics and generational stigma, we are making fantastic progress as a local community and as a nation on eliminating barriers to getting help. In the year of 2021, more adults and young people than ever before have reached out for professional mental health and substance use care. Employers are providing more mental health benefits such as Employee Assistance Programs and days off. Local public school systems have prioritized improving students’ mental health for the past few years, including hiring social workers to provide care in each building. As long as we continue on this path of destigmatizing mental health, we will see more lives saved, more families reconnected, and our community more uplifted. If you or a loved one needs help, there is no shame in reaching out today!

A Note From Bee
Photo from Melanie Hogan Johnson
I’ve often thought if I were to be reincarnated, I’d like to come back as a Turkey Vulture. “Weird choice,” you might think, but bear with me. Turkey vultures are quite amazing birds. I first became an admirer of turkey vultures several years ago at a raptor presentation in a nature center. The group had brought a hawk, kestrel, and eagle to educate visitors. The highlight was when a HUGE black form swooped over my head and landed on the hat of the gentleman seated behind me. It was a turkey vulture. It was probably the ugliest bird I’d ever seen, but I was fascinated with how gracefully it glided and landed. This bird became my new favorite. Turkey vultures, also known as turkey buzzards, are big but lightweight. With a wingspan from 63-72”, an adult in our area weighs only about 5 pounds. They’re called “turkey” vultures because when they are on the ground feeding, they resemble a wild turkey in size, color, and shape. In the air, it’s a whole other story! Awkward and ungainly on the ground, vultures jump, hop and flap furiously to take to the air. Once up, they are very efficient fliers. They flap a few times, then riding the thermal updrafts, soar and glide. Pilots have reported them at altitudes of 20,000 feet! Remember when you were a kid and made black v-shapes as birds in flight on your crayon pictures? From the ground, that’s what vultures look like when coasting. They hold their wings at an angle and tip them to catch the wind. Flying around high in the sky, turkey vultures have excellent eyesight and can spot a meal below. Even more impressive, they can smell it up to a mile away. This is a very unique trait as most vultures (and other birds) can’t smell at all. Contrary to popular belief, turkey vultures are pretty picky about what they’ll eat. Yes, they eat roadkill but only if it’s relatively fresh carrion (12-24 hours old.) Turkey vultures’ range covers North America from southern Canada south to the tip of South America. Hendricks County is right on the edge of the buzzards’ yearround range. Some birds may migrate short distances for winter. While turkey vultures forage alone, they are social animals and like to live in large colonies. They don’t have a “song” because they don’t have a syrinx, an organ like our voice box. Their only vocalizations are grunts when courting and hissing when threatened or fighting.
I like so many of my friends find myself wearing jeans most of the time. They are just so comfortable. My friend Sue had told me that her son Luke was marrying Cassie in the summer time. She told me in October. My wardrobe consists of jeans, casual pants, and one winter dress that I had worn to my granddaughter’s wedding a couple of years ago. I was going to have to go shopping (which I hate) for a summer dress appropriate for a wedding. Ginger and Spice was having a going out of business sale. This sale had been going on for some time. She still had summer dresses. She always had high quality clothes but pricey. If they were going out of business that meant reduced prices. Sure enough when I went in everything was 75% off. The owner was so good about helping me find a dress. It was December when I bought the dress. I put it in the closet and unfortunately did not put it on until a couple of hours before the wedding. That was a bad, bad mistake. I had gained weight since I had bought the dress. Even with the help of my husband and a lot of wiggling I barely was able to get into it. As soon as we got home from the wedding I took the dress off knowing I could never wear it again. I had a friend who I was able to give it to. Bee Jones ______________________________________________
The Rocket 98
We can all remember our teen years where we did silly, crazy things and laughed and laughed. This story is about one of those times. My good friend Larry Chambers and I planned a double date. He was dating Linda Lee, whom he later married, and I cannot remember who I went out with. Larry’s dad let him borrow his beautiful, 1959 Oldsmobile Rocket 98. Man what a car! It was big and powerful. You could knock down buildings with this baby. It was loaded with features like power steering, power brakes, power windows, and power seats. It had a rocket looking sensor on the dash that would automatically dim the lights when an on-coming car was approaching. But it had one feature that we decided we could have some fun with. On the floor were two pedals, one to manually dim the lights and one that would change the radio stations when depressed. We were driving around and I told the girls that I had a magic ring. When I pointed it at the something and said “AbraCadabra” I could make things happen. I said “Watch, I will make the radio change stations.” Yea right, they said. Larry watched in the rearview mirror and when I did my thing, he would step on the pedal and the radio would change stations. The girls like to went nuts. Finally, Linda noticed that every time this happened, Larry’s leg moved but not before we had had our fun. Ah, those lazy, crazy days of summer. “What great times!” Noel Gatlin ______________________________________________
The birds mate beginning in March. They don’t make nests but lay their eggs on a bare surface in a hollow tree, in a thicket, in a cave, or a rock outcropping. Eggs hatch in 30-40 days. Both parents feed and care for the young. If threatened, buzzards hiss and vomit semi-digested meat at the predator. Besides smelling awful, the yuck stings. Chicks will do this as well. The chicks fledge at about 10 weeks and the family stays together until autumn. The worldwide turkey vulture population is estimated at around 4,500,000. While protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty of 1918, they are listed as “Least Concern” on the threatened species lists but it’s still illegal to kill a bird or possess any parts of it, including feathers. The “Ick Factor” is what keeps most people from appreciating these huge birds. Yuck, they eat dead things! Can you imagine how our roadways would look and smell without them?! Put that thought aside and look at the Turkey Vulture from a distance. It’s not ugly as it glides and soars, its wing’s flight feathers flashing silver in the sun as it slowly circles overhead. Yep, I can imagine floating lazily, high over the ground with my friends. It wouldn’t be such a bad life. ______________________________________________
The Road Less Traveled And That Has Made All the Difference When traveling recently, I encountered a sign stating, “Lane Closed to Ease Congestion.” At first glance, the sign made no sense. My second glance however, lasting about twenty minutes, afforded a different conclusion... By now, as a burgeoning student of the traffic engineering sciences (and Robert Frost), you know where this is headed. You know that closing roads (or lanes) diverts a certain percentage of traffic to alternate routes. And you know that a certain percentage of those drivers forever continue to use that alternate route because, 1) they actually prefer the new found route, or 2) they have no idea the road reopened. As alluded to in previous columns, we are creatures of habit — we tend to drive the same route every day (stop doing that!). The familiar is the comfortable (we love comfort). That’s why I use the Waze app. It’s like a Magic 8-Ball. I can shake it (figuratively) and get a different route whenever I sense I’m succumbing to the comfortable (SttU). And it often recommends routes making no sense. And they make even less sense when I end up in the middle of a farm field 100 miles from my destination. But that’s OK because I discover new roads while experiencing minimal congestion. Plus, by then I usually can’t remember where I was going anyway, so who cares? Remember, autonomous cars and “connected vehicles” will resolve our traffic woes, but in the meantime, take the road less traveled. And as someone wiser than me once said, “I’m wiser than you!” ______________________________________________
A Squirrel About Town By Archy Archy looked disheveled and it was not a good look for a squirrel. I asked what was wrong. “Spring cleaning,” he answered. “Time for a fresh start. I’ve been winnowing the wheat from the chaff, cleaning up the clutter, streamlining the chaos, lightening the load.” And unloading his little-used metaphors, I thought to myself. I had no idea a squirrel’s nest could be so complex. “Not my home,” Archy answered my thought. “My life. We all need to do a little spiritual straightening-up. You’d be surprised how refreshing it can be.” I asked what that entailed. “Questioning your beliefs,” he said. “Holding your principals up to the light and looking for flaws. There are many things we keep out of habit that don’t serve a purpose anymore. You have to know when it’s time to toss them on the trash heap.” I was beginning to see his point. “Spring is a good time to take a look at the lessons you’ve learned and the lessons you didn’t learn,” Archy said, smoothing out a bit of ruffled fur on his haunch. I asked for examples. “I learned to keep my expectations low when it came to humans,” the squirrel explained. “That makes their good qualities seem more numerous. Seriously, sometimes it seems like people have little desire for self-improvement. Too many distractions, I suspect.” “That’s a kind way of putting it,” I said. “What about the lessons you didn’t learn?” I asked. The squirrel thought long and hard. “I have yet to learn to give up on your kind,” he said as he patted my hand. “The spark is still there in most people. They just have to realize it.” ______________________________________________ It’s easier for a rich man to ride that camel through the eye of a needle directly into the Kingdom of Heaven, than for some of us to give up our cell phone.

We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.

Get Creative With Some Beautiful Containers 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.]
By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener
Spillers - plants that cascade and vine over the sides of the container. (they cover that hard pot edge and make your design flow.) Trailing begonias, or ivy are some choices. Beware of sweet potato vine as it could take over the entire container! Important: choose plants with the same sunlight and water requirements when selecting plants for your container.
Container plantings can decorate your outdoor living spaces.. ___________________________________________________
Remember thriller, filler, spiller. This simple method will ensure you create beautiful containers by the use of thriller, filler, and spiller plants. Thriller plants – Thrillers are the tall (big) plants, they are the bold focal point of your container. This plant provides an eye-catching vertical element. It should be 1½ times the height of container itself. Tall ornamental grasses or sweet flag work well, house plants, too, or use spiky blooming plants such as canna lily. If you will be viewing the container from all sides, put the thriller in the middle. If container viewed from the front, plant the thriller in the back.
Containers don’t have to be earth-bound. This one can hang on a wall. ____________________________________________________
Using Color: Harmony:-in same color family or contrast:-opposites on color wheel Textures: soft and bold Plant pot full to begin with, if makes you happy. May need to replace a plant if you guessed wrong. That’s ok. Never use garden soil. Use fresh soil mix each year. Make sure there is a hole in bottom of container to drain excess water. Water as needed--(keep a close eye on it!) you need to fertilize with a water solvable fertilizer each time you water for best results.
Be imaginative on your container selections too. The possibilities are unlimited. By using thrillers, fillers, and spillers it’s easy for you to have the fun of creating a lovely container. What kind of containers does the Pope keep his plants in? Vat-I-Cans!
Filler plants – Fillers are mid-size, mounding, or rounded plants, that are planted around the thriller to fill in the space. You can use one kind of filler or opt for two or three different plants in your design. I try to use something that blooms all summer. Think about using plants with colored leaves like coleus or begonias.

The Cost of Classroom Libraries: A Teacher’s Dowry (and How You Can Help) Teachers and their struggle for fair compensation have finally been making headlines. Stories long known in education circles are being heard by the broader public: teachers with second and third jobs to make ends meet, lack of upkeep with inflation, and out-of-pocket expenses for supplies. A hidden secret that still hasn’t had its moment in the spotlight: in most public schools, classroom libraries are almost always funded by teachers themselves. These vital tools for teaching children literacy skills and a love of reading are basically charitable donations made by already underpaid employees. In what other industry would this be acceptable? Imagine a surgeon supplying her own bandages. Or a firefighter paying for the hoses. Donalyn Miller, an award-winning teacher, author, and staff developer, refers to this horrible phenomenon as a teacher’s dowry. Does a dowry seem old-fashioned, wrong, and absurd in 2021? You bet. And yet here we are. She said, “No one asks the basketball coach to buy the basketballs. Books shouldn’t be part of the dowry we pay to become a teacher.” I simply cannot stress just how true this is. “Build your classroom library” is probably written in every professional development book about reading written in the last 25 years. All teachers know the importance of being able to give students access to books on the spot. Teachers dream of being able to refer a student to just the right book at just the right time. You want to be able to give them access to copies of the newest books, from a variety of genres. You want them to be organized, in bins, on shelves, with labels, in a system that works well for you and your class. Teachers get creative. They use Donors Choose or other crowdfunding. They write grants. They use Scholastic Bo-
nus points, if they have students that can afford it (by the way, the students that most need an incredible classroom library are the ones that can’t afford the Book Club). But mainly, they use their own money. During my career, I taught three different grade levels. Each time, I basically started over to build an age-appropriate classroom library. The financial drain on my bank account continued because the more I bought, the more the kids read. And wrote. And grew. And loved. I was a book buying junkie, fueled by the need my kids had for more. Students typically do not experience the joy reading can bring by completing workbook pages, which IS provided. It falls on the shoulders of our teachers and librarians to remind students that the real joy is found between the covers of books. When I took a job as a reading specialist, I preached to an entire district of teachers that they needed wonderful classroom libraries. And I meant it. But I now cringe at the financial sacrifice those teachers may have made in order to make this happen and meet that expectation. I shouldn’t feel guilty for advocating what I know is right. I should only feel anger that in today’s America, teachers are not given money for books, the most vital tool in education.In America, we are holding our teachers financially hostage by promoting the importance of books but not providing the money to buy the books they know their students want and need. How Parents and Caregivers Can Get Involved in Supporting Classroom Libraries When you hear about a classroom teacher switching grade levels, whether by choice or not, PLEASE consider asking the teacher about his or her classroom library. Maybe you have something that could help, whether through financial means or a few books of your own you could donate. Skip the lotion, mug, and ornament: purchase your child’s teacher a book to add to their library as a holiday or end of year gift. Bonus points for hardback… they last longer. Encourage your fellow parents/caregivers to do the same. If you are involved in your school’s parent organization, advocate that some of the money raised in all those fundraisers be channeled back to the teachers in the form of bookstore/Amazon gift cards.
The other day, my humans were listening to the radio and I heard some disturbing news. Our country is about to be invaded by an army of Cicadas. Now, I don’t know just where Cicadia is exactly, but it must be far away, because it’s taken the Cicadian army 17 years to get here. Someplace as far away as Belgium. Or Idaho. Or maybe Greencastle. Anyway, this Cicadian army is traveling light, because it eats up local food as it goes, so it doesn’t have to carry its own kibble. Now, I don’t know about you, but I, for one, am not about to stand by and let some invading army take over our town. So, I have taken some steps to see that it won’t happen. I have re-organized my security firm, Makewater Danville. You remember, I formed it last year to take over security in Iraq when Blackwater USA got into all that trouble. Now, rather than provide international security, I am making it a local branch of Homeland Security. I found out that the elevator at the Danville Public Library is now inspected by the Department of Homeland Security! And I’m not kidding! So, since a few members of the AAAC who form Makewater Danville are part of the Paws to Read program at the library, I figure they can watch for the Homeland Security folks to check out the elevator, then offer them our services. In the meantime, we have made some plans to protect our town from the Cicadians. First, the best diggers in the AAAC can make a deep trench all the way around Danville, and the town can fill it with water. If we can tie it into the creek that runs through the park, we can curve it up around the new animal shelter to protect it. (The folks at that smelly asphalt plant are on their own!) A moat may not stop the Cicadians, but by golly, it might slow them down a little. Just inside the moat, we will dig a bunch of holes, which we will conceal, so that the Cicadians will step in them and sprain their ankles. They won’t be able to put up much of a fight if they’re all limping! We advise all pet owners to stock up on their pets’ food, so in case we get barricaded in our houses, the animals will have adequate provisions. And, it’s probably a good idea to roll some bandages. I’m not sure why, but in all the war movies my human watches, the folks back home are always rolling bandages. And finally, we want to tell everyone not to be afraid. With Makewater Danville on the job, you may sleep secure, knowing that your pets are taking this watch. There’s no way those wily Cicadians will slip by us! We will protect our homeland!

If you have the means, please consider purchasing a book from the Scholastic Book Club if your child’s teacher participates. Chances are, that teacher desperately needs those points in order to add the books he/she knows will be a hit. Use the Book Club to buy birthday gifts for your kids, other kids, and for donations. Please do not complain about the school supply list. If you don’t buy the items on the supply list, the teachers will buy the supplies and then they may not buy the books. VOTE for candidates who support public education in meaningful ways (increased teacher salaries, as an example). Thank you for your consideration of ways you can support better classroom libraries.

Indiana Main Street Organizations in County Working For Preservation, Promotion and Community Three Hendricks County Towns are looking to the future by highlighting their past and promoting local businesses. They are a part of the Indiana Main Street Program. Since 1985, the Indiana Main Street Program (IMS) has been helping communities revitalize the economy, appearance, and image of their downtown commercial districts using the National Main Street Center’s successful Main Street Approach. Main Street is a comprehensive, incremental approach to revitalization built around a community’s unique heritage and attributes. Using local resources and initiative, the state program helps communities develop and provides support for the implementation of their own strategies to stimulate long-term economic growth and pride in the heart of the communities’ downtown or commercial core. ______________________________________________________________________
Main Street Plainfield
North Salem Revitalization
In 2018,North Salem, with a smaller population than Coatesville, became the 133rd Main Street organization in the state. “I didn’t think we could do it in a year,” Bill Compton remarked when the North Salem Revitalization Committee received their Main Street recognition. The small group had started in 2017 with a get-acquainted Ice Cream Sociial, followed by a Fall Festival and a series of Game Days at the Community Building to help spur community interested. On October 18, Mary Shaw, representing OCRA, congratulated the group on the groundwork they had accomplished to earn the designation. She explained they had achieved the Indiana Main Street Four Point Approach: Organization, Promotion, Design, and Economic Vitality. “You have the proven track record to be a Main Street community,” Ms. Shaw told
the group, adding, “Your work is just starting!” You can keep up with North Salem Revitalization, Inc. on their Facebook page.
Downtown Plainfield has a unique history and Main Street Plainfield is working to promote local businesses in the area. _______________________________________________________________________________
By Melissa Gibson The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) recently named Main Street Plainfield, Inc. (MSP) an accredited Indiana Main Street organization. The not-for-profit was formed in 2018 with the goal of promoting downtown Plainfield’s history, small businesses and more. “Once you’re designated through the state of Indiana, you can apply for more funding and grants,” said Executive Director Stephanie Scotten. “We’re able to receive funding for beautification of Main Street and upgrades on some of the older buildings with historical significance. We can receive funding for murals or signage and other things.” Plainfield residents have likely seen the work of MSP in the past several years. The organization is behind the Plainfield his-
torical tours offered in 2020, Shop Small promotions throughout the holidays, a holiday window decorating contest and more. Their Facebook page receives engagement from the community with flashback Fridays, historical fun facts and current, featured businesses on Main Street. As the town continues to move forward with their revitalization plan, including the newly opened Barlow apartments, a parking garage and a planned Performing Arts Center, the hope is to keep Main Street a walkable destination with easy access to restaurants and local shops. “Downtown is experiencing a transformational development right now and I am excited about the value that Main Street Plainfield can add. With this designation, Main Street Plainfield will have access to more resources to do good things for the downtown community,” Plainfield Town Manager Andrew Klinger said.
Coatesville Downtown Revitalization
Coatesville recently restore the old International Harvester building on their Main Street. _______________________________________________________________________________
The Coatesville car show will return on July 17 this year. _______________________________________________________________________________
By Melissa Gibson “We received our designation in 2013 and at the time, we were the smallest Main Street in the state of Indiana,” said Steven Schultz, President of Coatesville Downtown Revitalization. “We’re working to bring in new businesses and we’ve transformed the outside of several buildings.” In 1948, Coatesville suffered serious tornado damage, nearly leveling every building in the town. With the loss in mind, Schultz and other volunteers have began recreating a 1950’s theme, restoring the outside of the 1948 gas station to its former glory. They’ve also renovated a previous International Harvester Dealership building and find unique and historical pieces along the way. “When we worked on the International Harvester Dealership, we found the origi-
nal entrance going into the hardware store was still there from 1948. With everything repainted, it really brightens up the area,” Schultz said. The organization has also been able to purchase electronic signs to advertise businesses in town with grant funding through OCRA. Coatesville might be best known for their popular car show coming back for the ninth year July 17. Over 250 cars are expected to return for the annual event and the 1950’s gas station they’ve recreated is the “central point to everything”. Schultz handcrafts nearly 80 awards for the car show, making each year and each award unique to the recipient.

By Melissa Gibson The local farmers market has always been a popular stop among residents looking for fresh produce, meat and dairy or simply those that enjoy walking around, socializing and seeing what the vendors have to offer. Each farmers market is slightly different and it’s not uncommon to see live music, a culinary class or learn something new along the way. This year, in particular, the community is excited to resume their traditions after many markets were closed or abbreviated due to the pandemic in 2020. Be sure to like the Facebook page of your favorite market to stay connected to schedule changes and upcoming events from week to week. Why do we love the farmers market? “There’s something to be said for knowing where your product is coming from,” said Kelly DiBenedetto of the Danville Chamber of Commerce. “There’s a sense of security knowing, this meat was raised down the street.” DiBenedetto said she believes Danville has been very intentional about supporting their local shops and entrepreneurs and this year, the farmers market will feature 28 vendors – the largest number of vendors to their farmers market to date. To accommodate the additional vendors, they’ll be moving to the opposite side of the square, setting up at the back of the square, Marion Street and Washington Street. Not only can visitors come out on a Saturday morning for this farmers market, the shops and local storefronts benefit from residents stopping by for coffee, breakfast or brunch. Avon’s farmers market will offer events for the entire family with themed days, including Strawberry Shortcake Day, Dessert Day and others. There will be live music, children’s activities and other special events. Parks Programmer and Event Coordinator Delbert Harmon said Avon will welcome a larger set of vendors than last year, and two new vegan option vendors.

Market Master Philip Cornelius from Brownsburg is also looking forward to a great season. Brownsburg is partnering with the public library to bring an educational program for children to the market. Young attendees will have the chance to learn more about the farmers market produce. The event is free with the exception of those days the children make and take a project home. On June 10, the Kiwanis Club will host their annual Strawberry Fest, offering shortcakes to visitors and proceeds will go to the club for service projects in and around Brownsburg. On Aug. 5, the farmers market will hold their annual corn roast. Weber Farms donates the more than 40 dozen ears of corn and visitors can pickup a free corn on the cob as they walk through the market. “I think what may be unique to us is that we offer a preordering online site,” Cornelius said. “Vendors that want to participate are added to our online ordering, you pay for your items and you can stop in and pickup the items that have been set aside for you.” The online ordering site it now live and visitors can set up an account, however, be sure to check back often for updates as more options will be posted as they become available. Visit https://brownsburgfarmersmarket.localfoodmarketplace.com/ for more information. Compared to last year, Cornelius said several vendors from the past will be returning and the market will offer meat products, dairy and eggs for sale, in addition to the fresh produce. All of the farmers markets are in large spaces with easy walkability to local shops and restaurants, and all are hoping to promote and support their local farmers and entrepreneurs on their journey.

Plan Commission Approves Changes to Horton PUD
The Danville Plan Commission meeting met on Monday May 10 with two items on the agenda. The first item was a request to remove some commitments that were made to a landowner during the rezoning process of the adjacent Camden Creek subdivision along County Road 300 East. After a short back and forth with Camden Creek representative, Mike Sells of Wonderwall Land Development Services, the plan commission voted unanimously to approve the request. The second item was the return of the familiar Miles Farm mixed use project on the Town’s west side. Since the petitioner, D.R. Horton had made significant changes to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) at the last Council meeting, the Town’s attorney recommended the petition be sent back to the plan commission for their approval of the changes. Town attorney Chou-il Lee made the plan commission aware that they did not have to open this up for public comment as the changes were even more restrictive than what the plan commission had voted on earlier. Plan Commission President, Tommy Thompson agreed to give the public an opportunity to speak if they kept their comments to only the changes that were made. The remonstrance brought up the same concerns as before, but they are now represented by Zionsville attorney, Mike Andreoli. Mr. Andreoli pleaded with the plan commission to give them more time to look at and analyze the recent changes to the PUD. After hearing from the petitioner and the remonstrance, the plan commission voted 6-1 to send a favorable recommendation to the Town Council for approval of the rezoning. The Town Council will hear the rezoning at the next regularly scheduled Town Council meeting, Wednesday, May 19, at the Town Hall. ______________________________________________

Reeling Through the Past: History of the Royal Theater
“The ROYAL Photoplay Theater located on the East side of the square will be open to the public WEDNESDAY EVENING, October 28, 1914. The picture “The Million Dollar Mystery” starts at 6:45 sharp. Ed J. Caldwell, Mgr.” What had started in a rented room on the west side of the square was now located on the east side, in a building contructed for the purpose of showing “photoplays.” The architect for the new brick building was L.H. Sturges of Indianapolis. A state inspector who visited the theater said that it was the “best wired of any motion picture in the state.” The relocated Royal opened to a rave review from the October 29, 1914 issue of The Republican: “Last night the new Royal theater on the east side opened and the crowded houses showed the appreciation of the public for Mr. Caldwell’s efforts to provide an unexcelled place of amusement. There is no more perfectly appointed theater to be found, absolutely fire proof, heated by steam and modern in every respect. Mr. Caldwell merits his success by the uniformly clean and up-to-date pictures shown. His building is a credit to the town, standing as a monument to clean amusement. Tuesday night, the Royal will give election returns.” Mr. Caldwell sold the Royal to Thomas Barnett, Jr. on October 4, 1919. Under Barnett’s ownership the Royal underwent a transformation that enlarged and improved the theater. See next week’s issue for his story. The Royal Theater has been a part of Danville for over a century. This series will explore its history and its importance to the Community. _____________________________________________

Arrangements entrusted to Hampton-Gentry Funeral Home, Plainfield ___________________________________________________ JEREMY STEPHEN ALBRIGHT, 46, passed away on May 3, 2021, at his home in Unionville, Ind. Jeremy was born to Mark and Linda Albright on January 20, 1975 in Indianapolis and spent a portion of time at Riley Children’s Hospital. Jeremy lived his youth on a small quiet street not far off DePauw Campus in Greencastle, Ind., where a kid could ride his bike all around town. He along with his younger brother Nick would frequent Gould’s Market for an ice-cold pop, sled in the Dalles on campus in the winter and play in the “field” and the “holler” not far from his home. Jeremy graduated from Greencastle High School in 1993 where he had played football, wrestled and threw shot put on the track team. He loved to play guitar and was a huge fan of bands like Pink Floyd, Neil Young and The Allman Brothers. Jeremy’s claim to fame was drinking a milkshake made on the same machine as David Crosby’s at a Steak and Shake post-concert at Deer Creek one night. He was a huge fantasy fiction fan and enjoyed playing role playing games as well as being an avid rock collector. He tried his hand at working for awhile post high school at the now closed Greencastle Manufacturing before up and moving to Terre Haute with the woman that would eventually become his wife, Laura. In Terre Haute there came not one, but two sons, Jonas and Levi, but the hardships of young marriage took its toll and the couple divorced several years later. From there, Jeremy’s wandering spirit took over, splitting time between his beloved Grandma Dot’s house on Raceway road and wherever he laid his head that night he traveled across the country looking for something, that great adventure. From Oregon to Maine Jeremy made his way back and forth following the band Phish with the occasional break in Indianapolis at his Grandma Dot’s. Settling back in Greencastle he met Christina Smith and well along came his third son, Lars. Jeremy and Christina made their home for many years in both Brazil, Greencastle and eventually Danville. Again, in his 40’s the road called, and Jeremy checked in from Colorado then Utah where he made his home for a time in Vernal Utah before showing back up in Danville sometime later after a cross-country bus ride. The last few years of Jeremy’s life were spent in Unionville Ind. out off a state highway with a family that treated him like one of their own. Maybe Jeremy finally found what he spent years searching for. He married Telitha (Bowlen) Albright on February 14 2020 and she survives him. Jeremy leaves behind his parents, Mark Albright of Greencastle Ind., Linda Albright of Danville; a brother, Nick and wife Liz Albright of Danville; his three beloved sons, Jonas of Avon, Levi of Indianapolis and Lars of Danville; Lars’ mother, Christina Smith, of Danville; one Grandmother, June Albright of Greencastle; several Aunts and Uncles including Jackie and Ken Eitel of Greencastle and Lila Hornsby of Cloverdale and Elwood Simmons of Avon; along with a list of cousins, great-uncles, aunts and friends from coast to coast. Jeremy was preceded in death by his beloved Grandmother Dorothy “Dot” Hornsby, Grandfather Eldon Roy Hornsby, Grandfather Bobby Gene Albright and his first wife Laura Dulin. Graveside services took place May 10, 2021 at Little Union Baptist Church with burial following at Union Cemetery. “Long may you run. Long may you run.

VINCENT ALLEN KIGER, age 80, of Danville, passed away Monday, May 10, 2021 in his residence. Born September 23, 1940 in Greencastle, he was the son of William F. Kiger and Hazel Imogene (Ader) Kiger. He married Maria Tracy and she survives. Vince graduated from Fillmore High School in 1958. Survivors in addition to his wife include son Allen Kiger, Danville; daughter Tracy Lawson (Devon), Danville; grandchildren, Emily Hughes, Douglas Diem, Justin Kiger, Savannah Magness (Larry); 3 great grandchildren; a brother Michael Kiger, Indianapolis, and several nieces and nephews. His parents, daughter Kristy Pennington, and brothers Steven and Richard Kiger preceded him. He was in the Army from 1961-1963 which he reflected on as some of the best years of his life. He and Maria owned and operated Kiger Sunoco in Danville from 1971 to 1998 and worked side by side, raising their children to appreciate hard work. Through those years Vince was a staple of the town and a friend to so many. With his kindness for all and his giving spirit he made many lifelong friends. Part of his legacy was that he impacted the lives of the younger generations of Danville in many ways by offering his time, his knowledge and the freedom to “hang out” at the station after hours. He took pride in being able to offer a safe, fun place to grow up and hang out. If you saw him out and about, more than likely he would be wearing a Danny Smith racing shirt. He was an avid race fan and along with sponsoring countless race teams throughout the years, he volunteered his time annually at the Ford Wilson Race of Champions. When Vince wasn’t at a race track, you could find him volunteering at his church, spending time with his family and telling countless stories. His love for God and his family was never doubted throughout his 56 years of marriage to his best friend and true love Maria. Even though his family and community would have loved many more years with Vince, we are at peace knowing he is at home with the Lord. Services will be Friday, May 14, 2021, at 2 p.m. at Calvary Chapel of Danville with calling there from 10 a.m. until time of service. Burial with military honors will be in Danville South Cemetery. Arrangements are being handled by Bousley Funeral Home, Coatesville. In lieu of flowers, memorial contribution may be made to his favorite mission in Haiti: Mountain Top Ministries.

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. By: Scott F. Bieniek, 30221-84 Bieniek Law, P.C. 3 E. Franklin St. P.O.
