Volunteers For SHIP

A rewarding volunteer program at Hendricks County Senior Services is looking for volunteers for SHIP, the State Health Insurance Program.

This program is a free health insurance counseling service for people with Medicare. This is provided by the Indiana Sate Department of insurance and funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“Our SHIP counselors provide free impartial information to assist consumers in making decisions regarding their Medicare choices and questions” states Deanne Sanders-Below, coordinator of In-Home Services at Hendricks County Senior Services. “Ship is not affiliated with any insurance company or agency and does not sell insurance. They are staffed by a crew of volunteer counselors who have completed intensive training to offer objective assistance in complete confidence,” states Below.

SHIP is driven by volunteers who are committed to helping people with Medicare determine the best healthcare choices for their individual situations and to be good consumers of Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, Part D Drug Coverage, Long Term Care Financing and Low-Income Assistance Programs.

To become a SHIP counselor, you must complete a 30hour training, either virtually or in-person; complete volunteer shadowing, additional training in the spring and fall and have a desire to help Medicare Beneficiaries in your community.

If you are interested in an important and rewarding volunteer opportunity, please contact Deanne Sanders-Below at 317-910-5367 or the State’s SHIP office at 1-800-4524800. You can also visit www.medicare.in.gov and click the “Become a SHIP Volunteer” link for more information. ______________________________________________

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: Brownsburg was almost deserted in August 1849 as cholera attacked the populace.

Three had died in seven cases reported.

Doctor Alverson Pinchney Mendenhall, not yet 30 and fearful of contracting the disease, “refused to visit or go near any person that had been near it,” the Locomotive newspaper of Indianapolis reported.

A medical student there, shown how to treat patients and supplied by an Indianapolis physician, “succeeded very well.”

Mendenhall saw the student riding through town, and asking for cholera medicine, left a bottle on the sidewalk and went back into the house while the student filled it, “so fearful was he of contact with the disease.”

Julius A. Jeger posted an ad in the Indiana State Sentinel in December 1852 alerting readers that Brownsburg wanted to grow. The town offered $500 to anyone who would build a steam gristmill and operate a carding machine.

“The country for such an enterprise cannot be surpassed, and the Plankroad, now in a state of forwardness, offers great facilities for transportation.”

(An 1858 estimate held that land along the Indianapolis and Brownsburg Plank Road had increased in value by $5 an acre.)

Jeger was born in 1808 at St. Croix in the West Indies and educated in Copenhagen, according to The Republican. He came to the States at age 18.

Jeger arrived in the forest around Brownsburg in the spring of 1845 and wrested a farm from that wilderness. He moved to Lizton in 1856 where he farmed and was a merchant.

He lived many years around Brownsburg and Lizton before moving on to Nebraska in 1882 where he ended his days in 1894 among his children.

True to style for those times, a Terre Haute paper vividly described what happened to a worker at the Brownsburg woolen mills when he was caught up by a spinning shaft in February 1869. Discovered half an hour later . . . well, a leg was subsequently found in the dye vat.

Brownsburg’s John South in 1872 learned “it is not safe to remain in the same building with a buzz saw . . . the infernal machine threw a piece of timber at him, which broke his frontal bone into fifteen pieces and tore out an eye.”

Crawfordsville correspondent Perry Winkle declared Brownsburg “has some pretensions to greatness,” in May 1869. The woolen mills might have been a success “but for the want of water.”

Brownsburg, in Perry’s opinion, was “a quiet place, of indefinite size, or small, and though it may receive new life from the railroad, can never be very great.”

White Lick Creek to the town’s west was rather narrow for skating practice in the winter and offered “tolerable accommodations” for summer baptisms.

Reverend Urban Cooper Brewer baptized eight in White Lick Creek in February 1889 during “a blustering snowstorm. The thermometer marked zero.

“Several of the enthusiastic converts were young girls.”

Tippling was not confined to the male sex in November 1888, according to the shortlived Brownsburg Modern Era newspaper. “It is not only the boys of our town who indulge in the cider-drinking habit . . . We have just learned of some of our young ladies who got their sufficiency more than elegantly filled one night last week with some of the kind that bit.”

Not one saloon was to be found in Hendricks County in 1890, but “intoxicants” were being sold under “Government license” in the towns and villages, “and drunkenness is on the increase.

“Great complaint in this regard is made at Brownsburg.”

That year’s drought led many to seek the springs feeding White Lick Creek, and in the process, mineral springs on Francis M. Hughes’ 272-acre farm immediately west of Brownsburg and just west of White Lick, were found to hold curative powers. Some claimed to be healed after 10 days of drinking the water.

“In the space of fifty square feet there are six springs, each containing a different kind of water.” On a single July day, invalids “in numbers” visited and drank from the springs, carrying more away in pails and jugs.

Hughes reportedly was having the water analyzed and planned to build a summer resort. Hughes’ farm, if I read maps aright, is long built over by the town.

Somewhere between the first sign of spring and the dog days of summer, the fashionable man switched from his felt or wool head covering to the cooler, and jauntier, straw hat.

The Republican of March 22, 1888 reported the first straw hats of the season were seen on the streets.

On April 29, 1915, Dr. Huron, president of the town board declared the custom of waiting for a certain time to don straw hats was “a relic of despotism.”

The issue of April 24, 1919 reported John Underwood came out in his straw hat - vintage 1873 - a sure sign that spring had arrived.

The following year, 1920, Osa Dooley donned his straw hat - vintage 1876 - and paraded arount the square mid-February.

The Republican reported “on every side and at every turn, he was jeered, hooted, guyed and almost mobbed, but he stuck bravely to his task and finally won out.”

In the advertisement from 1921, shown above, The House of Hadley at Danville, promised the bare headed gentleman could breese in for the cure - a New Straw Lid, all kinds and styles, in a size for every head, for an affordable price of $3.95. ___________

Hendricks County Community Foundation Marks 25 Years

By Melissa Gibson

The Hendricks County Community Foundation (HCCF) has been working hard for the community for 25 years and while schools, businesses, non-profits and others have benefitted greatly from the organization, still, many don’t know the breadth of what they do.

In 1993 a small group of visionaries began going door to door, asking for support for the community. In 1996, the foundation went county wide and changed their name to the White Lick Heritage Foundation.

In 2005, the organization’s name was changed to the Hendricks County Community Foundation.

“You’d be shocked to learn how much we’ve grown,” Communications and Finance Manager Frances Mock said. “In 1996 we had an endowment of $140,000 and we awarded grants of $20,000. In 2020, we had assets of over $20 million and we awarded grants of $1.7 million. It’s been tremendous growth - resulting in tremendous impact in our community.”

How does the foundation work?

“Many people want to give back to their community but don’t know where the needs are,” Mock said.

“They invest their charitable dollars at the Community Foundation and are confident that we will wise-

ly manage their funds and use the earnings to support those who have prevalent needs in the community.”

In other words, residents in the county can donate to HCCF and choose from over 200 funds to gift. If you want to give back and don’t have a favorite nonprofit that’s close to your heart, you can donate to the Opportunity Fund. It’s the HCCF’s largest unrestricted fund and allows the flexibility for the HCCF Board and Staff to meet critical needs in the community when it presents itself.

2020 is a perfect example of unexpected critical needs and how HCCF was able to respond as a result of unrestricted funds.

In honor of HCCF’s 25th anniversary, Brownsburg’s B&O Trail Association received $1,500 from the foundation.

“COVID really provided us an opportunity to step up,” Mock said. “The needs throughout the county were significant. We had a plan of what 2020 would look like, but in mid-March, we completely pivoted our grantmaking. People didn’t

have food, personal protective equipment, childcare, and other necessities of life.

So, we shifted our grantmaking to support the local service organizations that had boots on the ground.

They were ready to do the work, but they needed the funds to do it.”

Since March 2020, HCCF has granted over $580,000 in direct response to pandemic needs in the community.

“HCCF is uniquely positioned to keep our hands on the pulse of needs in every town in the county. I love that we’re county wide and community focused, because we can help people here in Hendricks County when and wherever its

needed,” Mock said.

With a new year came a new celebration.

In honor of their 25th year in the county, HCCF set aside some grant money for some fun giving and recognition. They looked at the 13 original nonprofits that received grants back in 1996 and awarded each with $1,500 earlier this year. Most of the original nonprofits are still in existence, but if they weren’t, HCCF found a similar organization to give to in their stead.

“We’ve also awarded two grants in honor of our first Board President, Judge Jim Spencer and our first Executive Director, Deedee Daniel. A $2,500 grant was awarded to our Tricentennial Fund to commemorate our anniversary and invest in the future of the county.

Finally, we set aside $2,500 to award to our donors’ favorite local nonprofit.

We’ll be mailing out a voter’s ticket to our donors and they can choose who they want the additional grant to go to.”

In addition to granting funds to organizations across the county, HCCF will be putting together a video of the history of HCCF to present at each chamber in the county.

Chamber members will receive a short presentation, the video and a local celebratory treat.

“We really want to spread awareness of our 25

years of work in this county, and the Chambers are a good way to get the word out as well as engage with members of the community,” Mock said.

HCCF is presenting Get Involved 2021, a nonprofit volunteer job fair, in partnership with the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds during the county fair. Stop by the Hendricks Power Exposition Hall on July 20 and 21 to meet a variety of nonprofit organizations and see where you fit in to volunteer and help your community thrive.

As 2021 progresses, HCCF hasn’t forgotten about their plan for last year. Off the successful results of a county wide community assessment, they plan to refocus on the main initiatives identified to better serve the community in years to come.

“We developed a threeprong approach to increase community unity through civic engagement, more community collaboration and a greater sense of community branding and pride,” Mock said. “The 2019 Hendricks County Community Needs Assessment really helped us direct and focus where grant dollars should go in order to create a more unified Hendricks County, and we are excited to see our how our community will grow in this process.”

North Salem

Local & Social Special Memorial Day Services, Monday, by the Roachdale American Legion, were well attended and appreciated by many.

It is our only way to remember so many who have given their lives and/or served in our many military services over the years.

God Bless one and all.

It is a time of remembrance for all our family members who have preceded us. There were a great number of people at the service, also a time of seeing many whom we have not been able to communicate with the past year. It was a time of love and friendship over the years. Was sorry that Cynthia Clark was unable to be present this year. We all missed her.

The Cemetery was well kept, beautiful, and an inspiration to all. God Bless America. _____ Hear our Debbie Berry has retired from EMT and Fire Dept. Debbie has been a member for many years. Thanks, Debbie - we all love you. Be sure John takes good care of you!

Cereal & milk, cheese-broccoli soup, or ham & cheese sandwich.

Clayton Diner Brings Community Together

By Melissa Gibson Sam and Dee Hardman have lived in Belleville for nearly 20 years. They watched the building at 1670 U.S. 40, Clayton as different businesses came and went and they talked about the potential of a “cute, little restaurant.”

“I had a long commute Dee and Sam Hardman and it was time to retire from that and Sam wasn’t completely happy in his position as well,” Dee said. “We had always wanted to start a business and this building had been sitting dormant for a while. We called about it and we said, ‘If it’s meant to be, they’ll call us’, and they did. From there, Sam and I said, ‘Let’s go for it.’”

They went for it and opened a breakfast-only diner on October 13, 2019. Without much knowledge of the building, or running a restaurant for that matter, the couple learned a lot in a short amount of time.

They learned the history of the building they were renovating.

“As we started on the remodel, Sue Halcomb stopped by and educated us on the history of the building. It used to be the Belle Inn in 1958, a drive-in restaurant. Once we opened, other people mentioned it and could remember the drive-in. We had no idea it had such history. People brought us in pictures from the 50’s. It was a third of the size it is today,” Dee said.

Second, the couple learned how to cope during times of stress and uncertainty as small business owners.

“The pandemic was a shock. We took a couple of days and shut it all down and asked ourselves what we were going to do,” Dee said. “We decided to do take out, kept one server on staff and we went to the diner each day and answered the phones and kept busy. The community was amazing,” she added. “Everyone was saying ‘We want you to stay open.’ They were lined out the door every day. It was slimmer than it was when we first opened, but we did what we had to do and now we’re back to full capacity.”

Finally, and perhaps most important, Sam and Dee learned about the importance of home cooked food and what keeps customers coming back.

“We originally said we were going to open a little coffee shop. We’d just do breakfast, have some good coffee, good biscuits and gravy and make some omelets,” Dee

Residents brought photos from the 1950’s of the original Belle Inn drive-in service.

said. “We’d be able to see our friends and sit down and have good conversation. It’d be really nice and slow.

“That lasted about a hot second, “Dee said with a laugh.

“We got so busy so fast, we hired a full staff and everyone started saying they wanted lunch, so we put together a full lunch menu too.”

The experience as owners was new, but Dee’s family had owned restaurants in the past and Sam had worked for a short time as a cook at the bar across the street. They made the choice to make homemade, fresh foods, just like you’d find in your grandmothers’ kitchen.

“The biscuits and gravy are made homemade every day,” Dee said. “My grandfather taught me how to make sausage gravy when I was just a little girl, standing on a stool at the counter. Sam cuts his own tenderloins and feeds them through a crank tenderizer. We hand-make our own cheeseburger patties. Nothing frozen… we didn’t think [frozen] would be very popular.”

Customers come from all over to Sam and Dee’s to visit over a plate of homemade biscuits and gravy and perhaps reminisce about the days when friendly, family-owned restaurants were common. They say the tenderloins are the best in the state and they’ve memorized the daily specials throughout the week.

“Sometimes I think it’s a good thing that we don’t have a lot of restaurant experience. We just want to cook good food for people,” Dee said. “That’s what brings people back every day – it’s all about how good the food is.”

MASTERING THE HOUSE Tim Paino

Owner/Inspector Heartland HouseMaster

useful tips for homeowners

The Septic System The home in rural Hendricks County that is on a well for their water, most likely has a private sewage system, also know as a septic system. As a home inspector we are often asked to inspect the system which typically consist of two components. First, we measure the scum and settlement in the tank. The surprising thing is how many homeowners do not know where their tank is located. In years past the tank lid was allowed to be buried, unlike today. Below is a septic tank we found that the homeowner had built their deck over with one of the support post landing right on the lid.

Many homeowners take the dangerous position: “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it”. The problem is a septic system requires regular maintenance, especially with today’s usage. The basic chemistry of a septic system is the drainage from the home enters the tank where the solids sink to the bottom (the sludge) and the oils and greases float to the top (the scum). A “T” shaped outlet then allows the liquid to flow to the drainage field while holding the solids in the tank.

Periodically, every three to five years, we then have a company come and pump the solids out of the tank. The enzymes within the tank help break down many of the solids reducing the buildup in the tank. Unlike years ago, today we install garbage disposals pushing solids into the system and use numerous cleaning products that kill the enzymes. When there are too many solids in the tank, they can make their way out to the drainage field clogging the perforated pipe leading to a none functioning field.

The second part of our inspection is the stress test. This is when we enter tracer dye into the system and run an excessive amount of water through the tank to see if the field will absorb the drainage. If solids have been allowed into the field, the subsurface no long will allow the drainage to percolate downward. We then see our bright colored dye coming up in the yard. This then becomes an expensive, messy repair.

Besides knowing where the septic tank is located, you also need to have a good idea where the drainage field is.

You do not want to plant trees over a field that will lead to roots clogging the pipes. Also driving heavy equipment over the field that will compress the soil and possible damage the pipes. Many times, during a dry time in the summer you can see the green grass over the fingers of the drainage field. The health department may have record of the system if it was installed after the mid 70’s, even though many of those records are very loosely drawn.

Watch what you put down your drains if you are on a septic system. Some people will add organic enzymes to the system periodically to replace those killed with detergents. But my advice is if it has been over five years since you had your septic tank pumped, make the call. Know where both your tank and field are located and keep it from becoming broke. ______________________________________________

A Note From Bee Here’s a riddle: when does 15 m.p.h. seem like 100 m.p.h.

Answer: When the driver has a beginners license and you are taking he/she out to practice.

When I was taking driver’s training 65 years ago, it was part of our class time. The only thing I remember about me learning to drive is my mother having me drive in St. Louis traffic. Of course, I almost wrecked the car and she was screaming at me and I was crying.

Our three children took Driver’s Training at Brownsburg High School and I think it was just offered during the summer. It was about $15 for the course. We live very close to the High School and the Driver Training Cars would come through our neighborhood. I can remember on one occasion a neighbor calling me and saying if you have any cars on the street you’d better pull them into the driveway. The Driver’s Training cars are in the neighborhood.

At that time my husband was working a lot of overtime and I was the one to take our kids out to practice.

Our oldest daughter did fine. Our son was the scary one.

He actually had an accident while we were practicing.

He wrecked our brand new car and I was without a car for about a month. We decided we should buy him his own car. I don’t know how many more cars he had but he wrecked them all except a truck. Our son’s actions made me ask my husband to practice with our last child.

When it was time for our grandchildren to learn to drive I volunteered to practice with them. When grandchildren reach the teen years they tend to draw away from the grandparents. This was my way to draw them back in.

The good news is we never had a near death experience and children and grandchildren all became good drivers.

ASK MR. TRAFFIC

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

Today, Your Best Is Good Enough Written by Chase Cotten, The Willow Center 317-852-3690 Here’s the understatement of the century: it’s been a tough year! Amid the pandemic, familial grief or conflict, divisive political dialogue, and a wide variety of personal hardships, it can feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Some of us may be thriving, but many of us are more focused on surviving right now – simply doing our best to get through the day. Whether the reader is a single mom working and raising her kids on her own, a grandparent playing the role of parent or feeling lonely this season, a single guy just getting started after college, or otherwise – please hear this: today, your best is good enough.

Each of us is facing various battles. Some of these battles are more urgent or demanding than others, such as living with mental illness, facing racism or discrimination, or trying to care for a loved one who is addicted to drugs.

Some of these battles are less urgent or demanding, like getting stuck in traffic or missing a meeting. When we check out at Walmart, we have no idea what the person ahead of or behind us is going through, and they have no idea what we are going through.

If we’re being honest with ourselves, most of us don’t even give this a second thought. We have things to do and people to see, on to the next task! This go-go-go attitude affects not only our own mental health and self-esteem, but also the way we treat each other. The harder we push ourselves to be perfect production machines, the easier it becomes to fuel hatred for ourselves and divisive distaste for others. We can’t meet our own unrealistic expectations for ourselves, and other folks certainly cannot meet the unspoken expectations we may hold for them. These expectations can be stressful at best and dangerous at worst.

What if we paused for just one moment, took a deep breath, and looked around? Who would you see? Would you see yourself in the mirror, looking exhausted and burnt out? Would you see your neighbor walking heavily to the mailbox as they await the next bill to pay? Would you see the kiddos who’s dad is in jail due to an addiction-related charge?

We are all doing our best. Oftentimes, the hardest person to show grace to is ourselves. Whatever you can do for yourself, whatever you can do for your kids, whatever you can do at work – today, your best is good enough. Slow down. Breathe. You are okay as you are. If we can see ourselves as worthy of some grace, it will be easier for us to see others as worthy of some grace, too!

Remember, you are not alone in these battles, either.

There are professionals at places like The Willow Center and other recently highlighted mental, relational and behavioral health agencies that have open doors and are ready to help you take that next step. There is no shame in asking for help! ______________________________________________

Lawrence of Danville When they were consolidated New Winchester and Danville, some good things happened. For me it was meeting Lawrence Cox. Our mutual friend, Larry Chambers, introduced us.

Larry went to church in Danville and he and Lawrence both belonged to a club called De Molay, so Larry was ahead of the game. You could not help but like Lawrence.

When he smiled, his face lite up and you had to smile too.

I was over at his house one day and I was complaining about my piece of junk Plymouth when I saw that Lawrence smile.

He said, “follow me.” We went in his Dad’s garage and there on the floor was a set of Dodge Lancer Spinner Hubcaps. He had bought them to put on his LAWRENCE COX Dad’s Dodge. We put them on my Plymouth, and they fit perfect and looked great. He said “you can have them for $25, that is what I paid for them.” You know, now that I think about it, I never paid for them. Sorry, Lawrence.

I came home on leave from the Air Force in 1967 and, while cruisin’, I ran into Lawrence. I got into his car and away we went. He had a beautiful 1966, maroon Pontiac GTO. It was very fast and even had a Hurst, 4-speed shift.

Wow. We stopped at his girlfriend Sharon’s House, I stayed in the car and listened to Rock and Roll on WIBC while he went in. They came out and Lawrence threw me the keys and said, “You drive,” ( I said, “Alright!) and they commenced to get into the back seat.

Now the back seat of a GTO is very small so you should have seen six foot six Lawrence climbing into it. Very funny. I had a ball popping the clutch and peeling out at every stop light. I would power shift and “get rubber” every time I shifted gears. Finally, from the back seat I hear “Noel, can you take it easy with the shifting? I’m trying to take care of business back here.” I had to cool it. Darn.

I miss you Lawrence. You will always be my “ GOOD FRIEND.” Noel Gatlin ______________________________________________

Traffic Signal Coordination It’s Possible. Seriously, It’s Possible If you’ve been following this column for very long, you qualify for a free t-shirt. Send me your size and $29 to cover shipping and handling (handling is expensive). Also, if you’ve been following this column for very long, you understand something about traffic growth — we can’t live with it and we can’t live without it (ask any business owner).

But, there are some “things” that can be done to relieve traffic congestion and still maintain a thriving, growing (and desirable) community.

The first thing, and the most economical thing, is to coordinate all those traffic signal things. And by that, I mean the Synchronization of Signals (SOS). The synchronization of traffic signals means traffic signals are coordinated, creating a green wave of progression throughout a roadway corridor.

Modern traffic signals have the ability to monitor changing traffic volumes and adapt signal timings accordingly. This is referred to as adaptive traffic signal control.

The progression of traffic, i.e., the green wave, can be optimized for both directions, or, in communities with heavy directional volumes, progression is optimized to favor the primary direction.

And as traffic increases (i.e., rush hour), it tends to move slower. Therefore, the green time allotted at each signal must increase to maintain progression for the primary direction. And as you can imagine, left turn arrows take their toll on traffic progression — left turn arrows bring thru traffic to a stop and therefore require careful and selective implementation — especially during rush hour.

Keep in mind that most claim their traffic signal system is coordinated. But, a truly effective coordinated traffic signal system requires regular data collection, optimizing of signal timings and phasings (e.g., turn arrows), vehicle detection capabilities (hardware), implementation and monitoring. Did I mention monitoring? And oh yeah, also tweaking (and monitoring). ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Sorry, I didn’t hear you walk up.”

Archy had been busily scribbling on a tiny pad of yellow paper. He stopped and gave a long sigh.

“I was working on a formula to get humans to change their minds,” he said wearily. “It’s my assignment from the Squirrel Salon. We’re all getting a bit weary of the bickering.”

I sympathized, but said I didn’t think I could be of much help.

“Maybe you could,” the squirrel said. “I have a few questions. I’m trying Archimedes’ approach, I’m just not sure where to put the lever,” he explained.

I knew about the Greek mathematician proclaiming, “Give me a lever and I can move the world,” but wasn’t sure how the squirrel was trying to apply it to people’s opinions.

“There must be a point where people can be moved to admit when they’re wrong,” Archy said.

“Or at least consider that the other fellow might be right,” I thought out loud.

“Exactly!” the squirrel said. “Everything has to be one or the other. There’s no effort for compromise. They can’t understand that sometimes being right can be wrong.”

Archy saw that I was beginning to loose the drift.

“Humans think that being right gives them power,” the squirrel explained, “when it really weakens, gives them a false sense of reality.”

I began to understand his point.

“Now, what do I need to move to shift the balance?” He asked. “Is it pride, ego, or something else?”

I ventured that it might be the combination of pride and ego. One seems to inflate the other until both are out of proportion. If that were shifted, their views might become more balanced.

Archy gave it some thought, scribbled some more on his note pad and said, “Just as I suspected. Now for a test.”

He tucked the note pad under his arm and scampered off. I wasn’t sure what he would do next, but I’ve learned not to underestimate the power of a squirrel with a lever. _____________________________________________

Weeds? Get Them Covered with Cardboard

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

The road to weed-free flower beds is paved with cardboard.

New to gardening or a seasoned gardener, we all want to have a weed-free garden without the back-breaking work.

You have the solution in your garage right now. All those boxes from amazon are carboard.

Cardboard is a biodegradable, earth-friendly material that enrichs your soil when it breaks down.

As it decomposes it feeds the soil microbes, which in turn improve your soils quality and structure.

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.]

Last week, I started telling you about my adventure in the woods when my humans went hunting for morels. I couldn’t imagine my humans shooting anything, so I was eager to see what kind of critters those morels were. Where was I? Oh, yeah! My humans let me off the leash and we walked into the woods.

They had their plastic bags ready, and when they came to a fallen log or a patch of these little palm trees (my humans called them May apples, but there weren’t apples on any of them), they’d stop and look around until they were sure there weren’t any morel burrows there. After a while, I got bored, so I dropped behind and went off by myself.

It wasn’t long till I picked up the scent of another dog. I followed it, and I found him! He was shorter than me, and he had reddish fur and a white face and paws and a white tip on his tail.

“Hello,” I said.

He answered in a high voice with a funny accent.

“Shhh!” he said. “I’m hunting for something to eat.

You have to be quiet.”

“I’m Henry. What’s your name?”

“Red,” he said. “And I only hunt by myself. Go away.”

Cardboard makes an excellent all-purpose weed barrier, just ask my friend, Master Gardener Becky. She lays flattened cardboard down in her flower beds and around shrubs. To allow oxygen and water to reach plants roots, she cuts a hole in cardboard 3 inches out from the stems the plant stems.

Overlap the cardboard pieces where they meet so weeds can’t sneak up.

Then she wets the carboard with a hose and covers with a 3-inch layer of mulch to hold in place, Cardboard will last two seasons before you need to replace it. (The third year you may still find some small pieces in process of decaying) You also have healthy worms!!

Be selective with your cardboard, use plain brown unwaxed corrugated boxes with nominal printing on the surface. Remove tape and stickers. Becky advises if you use cardboard with white on one side place, put it toward the soil so it doesn’t show through the mulch. The weeds are smothered because they do not get sunlight.

You do not have to pull weeds or use nasty herbicides.

Hard work doesn’t harm anyone, but I do not want to take any chances.

Got Questions?

Hours 9:00-Noon and 1-4:00pm call 317-745-9260 (Hendricks County Extension) I could tell he didn’t want me there, so I left as quietly as I could. After a while, I came to a tall, tall tree. And I heard the leaves rustling. When I looked up, way high, I could see a squirrel on a limb, eating nuts off the tree. It was the shells falling through the leaves that I heard.

“Hello!” I barked. He looked down and squeaked, “Hello.”

“What are you eating?”

“Hickory nuts,” he said.

“Are there any morels around here?” I asked.

The next thing I knew, a couple of those hickory nuts bounced off my head! And were they ever hard! Well, I can take a hint, so I left.

It wasn’t long till I came to a clearing where a couple of logs had fallen. There were some of those little palm trees around them, and these funny-looking mushrooms were everywhere! They looked like little sponges on stems. And then, I saw a pair of mice and a chipmunk eating them!

“Hello,” I said. They all squeaked and started to run.

“Wait!” I said. “I won’t hurt you. I’m looking for morels.

Have you seen any?”

They all said that they didn’t know what morels were and kept on eating the mushrooms. Well, by then, I was hungry, too, so I took a bite of one. It was delicious! So, I ate a few more. And a few more. And before long, I was full! Then, I heard my human whistling. I didn’t take me long to find him.

“Henry! Good dog!” he said. “Did you have fun?”

I wagged my tail and licked his hand. It turned out that they didn’t catch one, single morel! It’s a shame that they were so busy hunting morels that they didn’t get to try any of those tasty mushrooms. If we come back next year, I’ll show them where I found those mushrooms. I bet morels eat them, too. They might catch some of them there!

Thought for the Day: “We’re all ignorant, just about different things.”—Will Rogers

Sing it with me. Go ahead. “School’s out for summer!”

Children across Hendricks County (and let’s be honest, the school staff, too) are belting it out, but parents and caregivers may be filled with unease. How will I keep my kids entertained? Better yet, how can I structure the day so they entertain themselves? What are ways to prevent summer learning loss after an already challenging school year?

What type of boundaries or structure should exist in their day? Chores? Screentime? Exercise? The list goes on.

Whether your kids are home with you, a relative, a babysitter, daycare, or camp, there are many ways you can help ensure reading and other important activities are a part of everyday life by having some structure.

At our house, we’ll have a quick family meeting each night to discuss our plans for the following day. Having experienced at-home learning during the pandemic, I learned my family feels more comfortable when they know what the schedule is for the next day and expectations are clearly defined.

Using a small dry erase board, we fill in a chart that lists activities we “must do” and “could do” (see example below). We work together to generate the list of must do tasks, giving the kids part ownership over the expectations. Having a back-up idea in the “could do” column comes in very handy when the dreaded “I’m bored” phrase shows up. And we categorize all the ideas into values that are important to our family (helping, moving, creating, and learning), but this will be unique to each family.

Here’s an example of what a typical day might look like for my kids, ages 11 and 13.

ACTION:

MUST DO:

COULD DO:

HELP

strip sheets off the bed, then remake bed when sheets are dry

weeding ($1 for every 5-gallon bucket)

MOVE

swim practice, 7:00-8:30

morning walk with Mom at 9:00

CREATE

continue to create Lego stop motion video/ make card for upcoming wedding

start new puzzle or make cookies

READ/WRITE/ LEARN

continue reading Blood for Blood/ start Wolf Hollow

help Mom with Raising Real Readers book review

Completion of MUST DOs = 1.5 hours of screen time the next day

Other ideas: ● Since I’m home with the kids, I will include my own must do and could do activities. Modeling goes a long way in influencing children and helps them to buy into the system. ● If your child won’t be home most of the day, be realistic about what can actually be accomplished during limited evening hours. Or discuss with them ways they could read, exercise, or be creative while away at whatever childcare arrangements your family is using this summer. ● Do you have a fun summertime activity in mind, like a day at the pool or trip to the zoo? Use this to your advantage. If your kids successfully complete a certain number of must do tasks in a row, allow them to earn the activity!

This demonstrates that hard work and consistency pays off. ● The power of surprise is real. Perhaps you’ve seen your child display a selfless act or go the extra mile on a task. Allow them to choose one must do to cross off their list for the day! ● Follow through. Consistency is key.

By working together to create some loose structure to the day, you’re helping to ensure that your family’s values get attention, but with a collaborative feel. You’re also helping to nurture your child’s executive functioning, the ability to complete tasks from start to finish.

Do you have a summer schedule? How do you ensure your kids stay active? Share with our readers on social media in order to help us all learn from each other!

Remembering a Lost Angel in Babyland

They call it Babyland.

The name summons up a cheery world of first smiles and endless giggles, the sound of soft little hands clapping with joy. In reality, Babyland is that section of a cemetery where infants and children are buried, a nursery of lost hopes and empty dreams.

Recently, a young mother went to the Babyland section at Maple Hill Cemetery in Plainfield to see for the first time the headstone that had been placed for her 5-monthold son, who died last October.

As Emily looked around at all the lost babies, the flowers and the little toys and statues decorating the graves she noticed one that didn’t have a headstone. The only marker was the temporary one placed by the funeral home, for a baby named Mary Ann, who died in 1949.

It bothered Emily, still in mourning for her son, that this little angel had been forgotten and knew she had to do something. On a limited income herself, she insisted that she would save up the money to get Mary Ann a proper headstone.

Last week, while relatives began coming to Maple Hill Cemetery to place flowers on the graves of their loved ones, Mary Ann’s grave was decorated with a vase of flowers, a tiny porcelain angel, a stuffed Minnie Mouse doll with a bright pink polka dot bow, and a small granite headstone with her name.

These tributes were from a young mother who knew the pain of Mary Ann’s mother’s loss because she had suffered her own, and still had room in her heart to care for another lost angel.

AHS Student Earns Journalism Honors at BSU

[Editor’s Note: Avon High School junior Krishna Lathish was a participant int Journalism Day at Ball State University in April. A writer for the AHS newspaper, Krishna has contributed articles to The Republican. The following article was published both in the AHS newspaper and The Republican. The opinion story about class rankings received an Excellent Award at Ball State.

Krishna hopes to attend college on the west coast with a major in journalism/media studies and become a literary editor or journalist. We think she is well on her way to that goal.]

By Krishna Lathish Try not to be any of these things at Avon High School: the kid who stops in the hallway during passing period, the kid who runs to lunch, or the kid who’s 26th.

At Avon, the top 25 students in a graduating class are awarded a celebratory dinner with teacher guests of their choice. In a vacuum, the concept should inspire academic excellence and healthy competition. But add in the human element, and when we do, you find that teenagers will be teenagers - and teenagers are mean.

Class ranking is being scrapped for coming generations of high schoolers, much to the relief of everyone who’s ever ran the gauntlet of “What’s your rank?’ that comes after every semester. Future lawyers, engineers, and astronauts hit the books and take every class with GPA weight-

ing to present their parents with that elusive silver plate.

And in private, some bare their teeth and gossip in caustic whispers about the poor kid who finds themself just short of success’s reach – number 26.

But 26th is far from failure. In a class of 800, at least 20 less than Avon’s class of 2022, being 26th places you in the top 3.25% of students in your grade; nothing to turn your nose up at. It’s clear that 26th’s sleepless nights, test corrections, blood, sweat, and tears are worth far more than a metal plate and a nice dinner, so why not top 26, or top 100?

The difference between 100th and 99th or 26th and 25th can be as little as a bad day, not to mention mental illness, financial struggles, or unstable homes. Who says that rank 8, the upper middle class student with doting doctors for parents, is more impressive than rank 120, the first generation college goer who juggled younger siblings, work, and a rigorous course load? Moreover, if you reward children spreading themselves paper thin for an night they won’t remember in 6 years, expect to see them turn into the 23% of adults reported in a study by Gallup to have burnout.

Medals and plaques feel good and look better on top of Grandma’s fireplace, but the damage in defining success as being faster than the other guy will follow students beyond graduation. Class rank doesn’t reward effort; it punishes imperfection. And as Cracked magazine first enlightened us in the 70’s: pobody’s nerfect.

Teenagers make enough in and out groups by themselves; you need only visit a high school after midterms to see how one approved by school administration turns competition into bloodsport. The real world is, of course, rife with competition, but as far as I’m aware, performance reviews don’t come with a ranking of where you stand next to your coworkers and a night out with your boss.

I’m sure that the loss of class rank will not mean a loss of achievement; suffice it to say that my friend getting an A doesn’t turn my B into a C. Applaud your valedictorians, salutatorians, and your 26th, 100th, and 800th too; making it through 1,460 days of rumors, finals weeks, and hormones deserves an unconditional standing ovation in my book.

Classes to be honored this year at the Banquet include: 1945-46 (75 years since graduation), 1950-51 (70 years since graduation) and 1960-61 (60 years since graduation.)

Thursa Etcheson Evens of rural Bainbridge from the class of 1945 will make a few comments and introductions for some of the earlier classes. Responding for the class of 1960 will be Dorothy Bettis Lukenbill of Brownsburg.

Keith Lukenbill of Brownsburg will be speaking for his class of 1961.

The public may purchase tickets for the banquet until June 12th by contacting treasurer Joe Martin, of Greencastle at (765) 301-9092. All alumni are welcome to bring guests, and anyone who attended BHS or has an interest in the school is welcome to attend. Information is also available on the Bainbridge Alumni website at: www.bainbridgealumni.webs.com which is maintained by Doyne Priest of Greencastle.

Other officers of the Bainbridge High School Alumni Association this year include: Carolyn Roth Hiser of Avon, president; Patty Minnick of Lebanon, vice-president; Pat O’Hair Martin of Pittsboro, recording secretary and Alan Ader of Rockville, corresponding secretary. ______________________________________________

Learning Mindfulness to Combat Depression/Anxiety Improve Your Mood Support Group meetings take place every Tuesday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Hendricks County Senior Center.

Members have been gathering to learn about mindfulness and other coping techniques for symptoms of depression and anxiety. The Improve Your Mood Support Group is offered at no cost to anyone 25 years of age or older wishing to participate. No reservations are required to attend.

The group is facilitated by Sharon Dora Samsell, Coordinator of Bereavement and Community Support Groups for Hendricks Regional Health.

Red Curb Theatre Reopens After Hiatus

There something for every age at Red Curb and audiences are ready to have a night out and laugh again.

By Melissa Gibson In March of 2020, many smaller venues found themselves in the absence of options with social distancing, less than 100 percent capacity requirements and many leery of going out in public.

Red Curb Theatre was one venue that closed for 15 months due to the pandemic and owner, Will Pfaffenberger is excited to announce their reopening on June 5th.

Two shows will kick off the opening night. At 7 p.m.

June 5, a family friendly performance by Comedy Sportz (CSZ Indy), new to the Red Curb stage, will begin the evening of fun and creativity at its finest. Suggested age is 4 or 5 years to adult.

“Comedy Sportz is a long-running, national chain,” said Pfaffenberger. “It’s where I got my start and met a lot of people I work with today at Red Curb. They are known for their all-ages comedy and there’s a lot of crossover in performers [from CSZ and Red Curb]. To come under one roof and work together is going to be exciting.”

Then at 9:30 p.m. the adults only show, performed by the Red Curb Main Company will treat audiences to another round of fun and laughter.

Both shows present improv comedy. The first takes after televisions “Who’s Line is it Anyway?” and pits two teams against each other for fast-paced, high-energy games, songs and scenes off the top of the comedian’s head. With help from a referee and audience voting, one team will walk away the winner.

The second show will perform longer improv sets and an improvised musical, all taken from audience suggestions and various prompts.

“The audience isn’t asked to do the work of the comedian,” Pfaffenberger said. “It’s very interactive but fun and safe. If you want to participate, we make it easy to contribute. It’s like we’re all making a show together from prompts and suggestions. What’s cool about it, is every show is unique and different and that’s really forms the improv.”

A few changes are on the horizon has Red Curb opens its doors once again. The shows have been pushed to slightly earlier time slots at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. in an effort to make the late show a bit earlier.

Comedy Sportz primary location is now in partnership with Red Curb Theatre.

They also have acquired a three-way alcohol license.

According to Pfaffenberger, this is a significant upgrade.

In the past, they were only selling beer and soft drinks but now, cocktail options and wine will also be offered.

Pfaffenberger said the main comedy evenings will be held on Friday and Saturday nights, but watch for additional specials coming up.

“We’d like to utilize the space a little more. There might be some cool alternative shows coming, some for the entire family and others more night-life oriented,” Pfaffenberger said. “We’ll have selected Friday evenings for standup comedy throughout the summer too.”

In addition to special events, the Red Curb is available for rental. They often host parties, meetings and other events. Just this past May, the theatre hosted an alternative prom.

“It’s a versatile venue,” Pfaffenberger said. “We’d love for people to take advantage of this good meeting space.”

The Red Curb Main Company performers are excited to take the stage after a long hiatus.

Red Curb is located at 8403 East U.S. Highway 36, Avon.

Tickets are on sale now at https://www.redcurbcomedy. com. Pre-sale tickets are $15, at the door, tickets are $20.

Danville Rotary Corps Serves the Community Town Staff Comments on Miles Farm Process

Members of the Danville Rotary Community Corps share a committment to improving the lives of people in Danville through service projects and supporting community initiatives.

One of Rotary Corps many recipients are activities at Danville High School. Above, President Roger Riggs and member Ginny Black are presenting a donation for the pre-prom held this year. _____________________________________________

The Rotary Corps would like to thank the sponsors and the community for their support of the Ellis Park amphitheater dedication and Levi Riggs concert. Funds received from the concert will be used to support the Danville community. ______________________________________________

Last week we heard comments from some Town Council members about the Miles Farm PUD. This week, we asked the town staff to comment on the process of working through the details of the largest development in Danville’s history.

How do you feel the plan commission handled the process?

Staff believes the Plan Commission conducted the whole process in a very professional manner as well as meeting all statutory requirements placed on them by Indiana Code, the Danville Zoning, Subdivision Control Ordinances and Danville Comprehensive Plan. As in all projects that go before the Plan Commission, they are tasked with making sure all requirements are being met whether it be a plat, a site plan review or anything that is required to be heard by them. The Plan Commission makes recommendations on rezoning request and amendments to the Zoning and Subdivision Control Ordinances and have no decision making authority. The Plan Commission goes above and beyond to make sure that all concerns by citizens are expressed by allowing a vast amount of time for public comment.

Are you working on alleviating any of the concerns brought up by the remonstrance?

The Town of Danville is working on several concerns brought before the Council regarding traffic and possible short-term solutions for the existing traffic in Danville.

The Town is also looking at creating a Traffic Impact Fee for any new developments coming to the Town in an effort to reduce the fiscal impacts. Both Water and Wastewater utilities updated their Master Plans two (2) years ago in an effort to plan for future growth.

How was your interaction with D.R. Horton and their representatives during the rezoning process?

The interaction between the Town Staff and Horton was entirely on a professional level. The developer was very amenable to any and all suggestions by the Town. ______________________________________________

DCHS Senior To Continue Track & Field Career at Iowa Central

By Cooper Lee

Danville Community High School’s Christian “CJ” Collins received a scholarship and plans on continuing his track and field career at Iowa Central Community College.

CJ competed in the high jump while at Danville, and just recently advanced to the state meet with a 6 foot and 6-inch outing.

He proved himself time and time again, and eventually earned the attention of colleges in the area.

“Multiple other schools offered,” said Collins, “but I received a full ride to Iowa Central.”

One can hardly blame the choice, and with that decision comes a change in roles, as he will be competing in the Decathlon for the Tritons. In his time at Iowa Central, he’ll be studying what he’s passionate about, choosing to major in exercise physiology.

When asked about why he chose to continue his athletic career, Collins said, “My love for sports was ultimately the reason I decided to continue with it. It has been my dream since I was a kid to be apart of the 7% and go one to play sports in college.”

Collins is living his dream and chose the school that would do right by him during his athletic and academic career. Iowa Central is a junior college, meaning Collins will be there for two years, after which he would receive an associate degree and move on to an NCAA program to finish both his school and track career. Collins knew exactly what he wanted out of his time at the JUCO. “I was looking for consistency, academic success, and good coaching fits. Iowa Central has had a very successful past, and even had nine plus kids go Division I with a full ride.”

While the future remains bright for the talented track athlete, he understands his position, and knows that the support of his community is just as important as accolades.

“Honestly, the biggest takeaway for me was that if you shine, you’re going to shine,” said Collins, “small school or not, you will get noticed. This is a small community, but a very supportive one, from the kids I go to school with, to my elders, they will support you with everything they have.”

Level-headed as ever, Collins exemplifies hard work and humility leading to your

dreams. He didn’t forget to mention his coaches, saying, “These coaches want you to succeed just as bad as you do, and they will do everything in their power to drive, help, and get you noticed.”

It’s all about seizing the opportunities when they’re provided and after putting all of his high school experiences into perspective, Collins is ready to move on to bigger things while keeping all of those that helped in mind. This type of reflection is something future athletes can emulate throughout their own journey, taking Collins’ advice: ▪ Success demands sacrifice, and there is no alternative. The rent is due every day, you can’t take shortcuts.

▪ Find people that have the same goals and dreams as you and work together, challenge one another to make each other better.

▪ Also, never forget to thank God for everything he has done for you. Your talent is God’s gift to you, but what you do with it is your gift back to Him. For Collins, the only answer is hard work, and that will serve him well going forward, no matter where life takes him.

The support from the community of Danville cannot be understated, and as more athletes look to make their dreams come true, Danville remains behind them completely.

CJ, along with his brother Caden, will be competing in the IHSAA Boys State Track and Field Meet on Friday, June 4.

Danville Community Middle School Presents Awards

Danville Community Middle School presented special awards at the end of the school year. The Top 8th Grade Academic Awards are usually given to one girl and one boy. This year there was a tie with the boys, so an extra award was presented.

The Noel A. Peters Award is given to one boy and one girl in the eighth grade, picked by the middle school and voted on by the staff. Qualities of the award are the three R’s and Mr. Peters added a fourth R for responsibility, as well as attitude, citizenship and typically athletics.

The N. Michael Peters Award is given to one boy and one girl in the seventh grade picked by the middle school and voted on by the staff. Qualities of the award are integrity, empathy, school spirit, responsibility, sense of humor, and friendliness.

Allocation Funds Aid Economic Development

Danville acted at the May 19 Council meeting to create two Allocation Funds.

What are Allocation Funds? These are funds generated by excess property tax proceeds in the designated Allocation Areas that are used to further the goals of the Economic Development Plan.

The Economic Development Plan was created by the Danville Redevelopment Commission.

Once the Allocation areas are established the Council must then create an Allocation Fund for these monies to be deposited for future development incentives.

The two areas designated for these funds last week were the Downtown Main #1 and East Main Corridor. See map above for location of these two areas, outlined in white.

Once these areas are funded, the RDC can allow the use of these funds for private or public redevelopment in those areas.

To keep up on the actions of the Redevelopment Commission, you can attend their regularly scheduled meetings on the first Thursday of the month at 5:00 pm at Danville Town Hall. Check the Town website to verify meeting dates. ______________________________________________________________________________________________
