107 Years Home Front on the

At “Make a Difference” days, Extension Homemakers get together to sew neck and puppy pillows and lap robes for Riley Hospital and hospice patients. A label is sewn on each item with the words, “Made by an Indiana Extension Homemaker.”

By Karen Hole The Hendricks County Home Economics program began on March 12, 1914. The Department of Agriculture passed the Smith-Lever Act in May 1914 creating the Cooperative Extension Service to provide instruction in agriculture and home economics. The first Home Demonstration Agent, Pansy Norton, came to Hendricks County in 1918. One of the first lessons presented was how to hang your towels on the clothesline. “Always throw your towels half-way over the line so that you don’t wear out the ends with your clothes pins.” Then the ladies made laundry soap!

One hundred seven years later we are Hendricks County Extension Homemakers. Our focus is on home, family and community. We are a worthwhile organization. We know the importance of learning new and diverse things while enjoying the companionship and camaraderie of sharing with fellow members. We become extended family sharing our sorrows and joyous occasions with each other. We know the success of future generations depends upon the security of family life today. EVERY family should take time to live, to work and pray together.

Some of our community endeavors are: Scholarships for Hendricks County students; First Books for Kids; Reading to Head Start children and giving them book bags with books for summer reading; Hygiene kits for the homeless; Donations to food pantries; Sponsor the Open Class at the Hendricks County Fair; Sewing neck and puppy pillows and lap robes for Riley Hospital and hospice patients.

Some highlights we look forward to throughout the year include: Cultural Arts bus day trips (Red Skelton theater in Vincennes, Cabaret show, etc.); Heritage Skills Day; Achievement Day; Holiday Fest; Fun and Games Our programs have certainly changed through the years.

Today you may attend an educational program or lesson on: Finance, Quick meals, Recycling, Crafts, Gardening, Multi-tasking, Planning for Life’s Unexpected, Household inventory, Chronic Pain, Crockpot Cooking, Decluttering, Financial Fraud, and many others.

Find a club whose location and meeting times suit your schedule.

Start your own Extension Homemaker Club with six or more neighbors or friends with similar interests. There are lessons provided by Purdue Extension and guidance from our local regional agents. ____________________________________________

Summer’s Here ....

Now, Let Us Spray...

Specators at the Amo Fish Fry Parade got some heat relief thanks to many of the Cascade Youth League teams, who came to the rescue with water cannons of various size and caliber.

After the event was cancelled last year, due the pandemic, everyone was ready for a little bit of “normal” summer fun this year.

Sheltering Wings Receives Grant From CJI

Sheltering Wings Center for Women at Danville is one of 28 domestic violence shelters in Indiana to receive Social Services Block Grants. The grants come from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute and are funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Sheltering Wings will receive $18,100, to be used in the shelter’s program providing transition toward self-sufficiency for victims of domestic violence.

Since the SSBG program was established in 1981, broad discretion has been given to states over the funding priorities. This year, the grants will be used to help offset the cost of certain operational expenses to include housing, food and other basic necessities.

In doing so, domestic violence shelters will have more flexibility and can potentially offer services in other areas, such as case management, legal advocacy and referral to other community resources, if needed.

Rib Fest 2021

By Melissa Gibson The annual Hendricks County Rib Fest, with title sponsor Andy Mohr Automotive Group, is back after a year of hiatus during the pandemic; this time, at a new location offering more space and more fun.

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: The 1874 Hendricks County “People’s Guide” published a township-by-township directory of mainly males, citing name, occupation, general location, where and when they were born, when they settled here, and political and religious affiliation.

This directory offered “a collection of very important documents and statistics connected with our moral, political and scientific history.” That includes churches, lodges, schools and “improvements.” Remembered pioneers were cited.

A Clay Township carpenter of roughly 50 years living in Amo, John Lesley was a self-proclaimed pettifogger. He bickered and quibbled over trifles. Or he engaged in chicanery. Either way, I would like to have known him. He was honest about himself. He was a Republican and religiously Independent.

J.M.G. Lesley, also of Amo and a county native of roughly 24 years, was a plasterer and contractor. The Republican was a free thinker.

Most county men were farmers.

Our first settlers arrived from North Carolina in 1818. The first settlements were in Liberty and Guilford Township. The county was organized in 1824 when roughly 1,000 lived here, and the commissioners divided it into four townships.

This county went from “a howling wilderness, inhabited by the wild beasts of the forest, to one of the best improved counties in the State, populated by over twenty thousand intelligent, Christian people.”

I know there were unrepentant heathens.

By 1874, “the wild beasts of the forests (had been) slaughtered and driven from her borders, and the serpent and reptile have been killed and destroyed.”

The wolf and bear were gone.

County citizens were “industrious, honest and temperate.” A licensed saloon could not be found – not for years.

Folks were “liberal, intelligent and church-attending.”

Seven Dugans lived northeast of Brownsburg; six were born in Ireland. All were Democrats and Roman Catholics. Martin Dugan, born in Eire in 1818, arrived here in 1853.

Joseph Lamer, farming a mile south of Royalton, was “gone from home.” That’s all the Guide had to offer.

“Morality, education and temperance” went “hand in hand” in “Centre” Township.

Danville was “the resort for those who wish to educate and the home for the retired Israelite.”

G.W. Arnold, farming two miles north of Danville, had arrived the year he was born in 1838, was a Democrat and religiously “slim.”

I believe he’s buried at the Arnold-Stuart Cemetery just off Ind. 39, south of White Lick Creek.

Danville’s N.B. Chamberlin was a boot, shoe and leather dealer born in Connecticut in 1846, arriving in 1872. That Republican was a Free Thinker, meaning he formed his opinions “on the basis of reason independently of authority,” and was a religious sceptic.

George Chamberlin, in the same business, surely was related. Born in Connecticut in 1813, he arrived in 1853. The Republican was a Universalist.

I don’t know where either are buried, but I learned of custody officer George Chamberlain, age 24-25, murdered by escaping Indiana Prison South inmates in 1874. He rests at Danville South Cemetery.

Erasmus D. Nichols, a Danville trader, was county-born in 1843. He enlisted twice for the Union, first with the 53rd Infantry, then the 17th Indiana. His daughter, Mayme, was the second wife of Judge George Woodward Brill.

His father, Thomas Nichols, was the county’s second sheriff beginning in 1828 when Danville had but four or five residences. He raised a company of 54 men for the 1832 Black Hawk War. A carpenter and contractor, he built numerous town houses. A justice of the peace, he married at least 150 couples.

Dressmaker Adaline Johnson of New Winchester was born in Virginia in 1830, arriving here 29 years later. A Presbyterian, she was a Democrat.

Belleville blacksmith E.H. Carter plugged his skill – “shoes a horse so as not to interfere.” Birthed in Kentucky in 1833, he settled in the county in 1867. He was Republican and Christian. I think he was a widower during the war, serving in the 9th Kentucky Cavalry Regiment, his three young children remaining behind.

Stilesville teacher of vocal music William J. Wilcoxson was born in 1830 in North Carolina and arrived here two years later. He rests at Stilesville Cemetery since 1901.

Tennessee-born (1828) Joshua Norman of Clayton had been here since 1833. An Independent, the blacksmith was “free and easy” when it came to religion.

I’ll buy that.

Plainfield Clothing Closet, My Daily Walk, Expands at New Location

By Melissa Gibson In 2017, Fred Means Jr. was walking through a store and noticed a child wearing a worn pair of shoes. Thinking of all the children in need of shoes, he went home, spoke to his wife Karen and My Daily Walk was born.

“We started out as a mobile shoe and coat closet,” Karen said. “In August of 2018, we had enough funds to purchase a 14 x 7 foot motorcycle trailer and we were going to a couple of locations in Plainfield and giving away the shoes and coats we had collected. In May of 2019, we opened our first store front on Clarks Creek Road.”

The couple spoke with several shoe closets across the state, housed within a school system or church, but felt they didn’t want to be affiliated with a specific organization, but rather, allow residents to feel welcome to come regardless of age or religious affiliation.

Soon, they began accepting clothing too.

“Our target market is families with children under 18 years old, but we never turn anyone away,” Karen said. “Everything is free. We put a limit on the shoes and coats – one per household member, but on the clothes, we just ask that you take what you need and leave some for others.”

The non-profit is 100 percent volunteer driven and the extraordinary support from donors and community members has allowed the Means to expand to a larger store just across the street from their former location.

As of June 5, My Daily Walk will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday at 2028 Stafford Rd., Suite C in Plainfield. The Means will schedule an appointment for families that can’t make it on Saturday.

“Our family has put a lot of money into it ourselves, but we’ve had several churches donate and several private doners. This past September we had an anonymous donor that gave such a substantial amount, it allowed us to move into this bigger location,” Karen said.

It may surprise some that Hendricks County has such a need, but Means says the need is great, especially through the pandemic and the job loss and financial insecurity that followed.

“Sometimes it’s people you wouldn’t necessarily expect,” Means said. “You hear a lot about food pantries, and all it takes it a job loss, an illness or something like that. We felt like this particular area and being so close to Indianapolis would be a good spot to serve.

We want to be accessible and we’ve had people come from Boone, Marion, Morgan counties, not to mention Hendricks.”

Now that they’ve moved into a new space of 1200 square feet, My Daily Walk is in need of additional volunteers.

“It’s primarily run by family members, but we’re hoping to get a consistent volunteer base. We’ve had small groups from local churches reach out, but in the past, we only had 500 square feet and it was difficult to have too many people in such a small space. Now, we have storage area, we’re able to put a lot more inventory out on the floor and more space means more hands needed to continue to replenish.”

Donations are accepted during open hours. They do not accept formal wear or business wear. For more information or to volunteer, visit www.mydailywalk17.com or call 317600-4315. ______________________________________________________________________

The ‘Welcome to Brownsburg’ mural can be seen off of Green Street, on one side of the Brownie Theater. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Have you noticed the murals in Hendricks County welcoming visitors and residents to their prospective towns?

Non-profits, civic organizations, businesses and artists have joined forces to create new and inviting artwork in a town near you.

Brownsburg completed theirs at the end of May, in partnership with the Brownsburg Kiwanis and Brownsburg High School’s National Arts Honors Society (NAHS). Passersby can view the design on the side of the old Brownie Theater on Green Street.

The message says, “Welcome to Brownsburg,” and includes an area with the names of sponsors: Brownsburg Kiwanis, Sherwin Williams, Arkanoff Painting, Hendricks County Bank and Trust and NAHS of Brownsburg.

It also includes a bulldog, Brownsburg High School’s mascot, with a trailing leash visitors can “hold” while taking a photo in front of the mural.

When asked how she would describe the experience, Visual Arts Department Head and NAHS sponsor, Lori Woodcock said, “In one word – joy. This was a difficult year for the students with all the restrictions due to COVID. They were so excited to come together and work on this mural three days per week. It allowed them to have

Look up close to see nods to the Town of Brownsburg and fun while doing something they love –creating art. The a ‘thank you’ to all businesses and organizations involved. fact that they got to share their art with the entire town was ___________________________________________________ just icing on the cake.”

The project took a total of nine days over three weeks and over 20 hours to complete and they hope their first mural won’t be their last.

“I’m incredibly proud of what the students were able to accomplish in such a short time and I hope the residents of Brownsburg take the time to stop and see the mural up close and notice all the little nods to Brownsburg hiding in the letters,” Woodcock said. “We are open to creating another mural for the town in the future. If anyone is interested in adding a mural to their building, I invite them to contact me.”

Prindle Prize Winners

Just a few miles down the road, Plainfield has completed their hometown mural in early June.

Non-profit Main Street Plainfield, Inc. commissioned the mural with a grant from Duke Energy and worked with local artist Kylin Brown to design the final piece on the west side of Al’s Donuts.

“Art has always been a part of my life. I started my own art business a couple of years ago and have done murals in the past. I’ve always been drawn to areas that had a lot of public art,” Brown said.

Inside the Plainfield letters, visitors can catch glimpses of veterans walking in the Quaker Day parade, the Van Buren elm tree, the Plainfield bridge, the trail system, Splash Island and a street view of Main Street.

“I hope it catches their eye and people will see something different each time; they’ll be able to focus on the details. It features all the aspects of the town that I love with the parks and the history and the small town feel as well as an up-and-coming area. I just have a lot of love for the community and wanted to incorporate that and represent where we are going,” Brown said.

Once the mural was complete, photos and comments exploded on social media with compliments to the artist and expressions of awe and appreciation of the bright and bold “Welcome to Plainfield” mural.

The individual letters in the Plainfield mural contain scenes “We hope to do more murals and we hope it draws peo- relate to the Town’s past and present. ple downtown, Executive Director of Main Street Plain- that ___________________________________________________ field Inc., Stephanie Scotten said. “People want to take a picture with the mural and then there’s walkability to the shops and the restaurants. We want to be the premier arts district in Hendricks County.”

Additional work by Brown can be seen across from Bru Burger in Plainfield at the Shops at Perry Crossing. Brown is focused on creating opportunities for all artists and continues to share ideas and a passion to bring more art and opportunity to the community.

She can be reached at kylinbrown.com and on Instagram at kylinbrownstudio.

A mural planned for the north side of the Avon American Legion Post 145 is in the beginning stages. Just last week, the Legion board met to review and discuss seven artists/group proposals for the project. The board was impressed by the variety and quality of submissions, according to member, Dave Jackson and the Legion hopes to see their mural completed by the end of the summer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________

ASK MR. TRAFFIC

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

[This column is from June 2008, when the Downtown Danville Partership hosted the first Summer Sounds on the Square concert.]

Wasn’t that a great concert on the square the other night? I wasn’t there, but I could hear the singer from my back yard. She was really good! Woof! And so was her band! I know my brothers and sisters liked it, because a few times, they sang along in harmony! The only thing that could have made it better was if my humans had passed around some biscuits while we listened. Or maybe some of that instant popcorn from the magic humming box! My humans never seem to think of obvious things like that, and no matter how we try to tell them, they just aren’t clever enough to figure out what we mean! Anyway, the music was great and we hope there are going to be lots more of those concerts this summer!

Hey! I’ve got a new human hero this week and his name is Wynn Brower, a 12-year-old human from Bloomington that I heard about the other day on the radio. Wynn did a great science fair project. He wanted to see how his family’s electric bill would be effected if they turned off their four computers at night. And it turned out that they saved a whole dollar every day! Well, Wynn’s father Bill was so impressed that he took his son’s idea to the Monroe County Alphas, and they had someone crunch the numbers (That’s what the human on the radio said, but I don’t know what it means. I crunch my biscuits and I chew paper with numbers on it sometimes, although it really doesn’t crunch, but I can’t figure out how you can crunch numbers!)

Anyway, they found out that the Monroe County Alphas’ offices have 550 computers, and that if all of them were turned off every night, the county could save $25,000 a year, using 5% less electricity! So, the county alphas made that official, and now, all the computers in the Monroe County offices are turned off every night!

Well, my humans thought that was great, too, so now, they turn off all the computers at their work every night.

I use the home computer for writing this column, and I always turn it off when I’m done! Well, it seems to me that if everybody in Danville turned off their computers when they weren’t using them, I bet they could save a lot of money and energy, too! (What do you think about that, Hendricks County alphas?)

I’m very good at saving energy myself. Even though I like a brisk walk once in a while, I have been known to dawdle a bit, especially if there are lots of good smells along the way. And I use as few steps as I can when they call me for supper. Of course, there’s nothing like a sixor seven-hour puppy power nap! Now, my cat buddies, they’re the real champs when it comes to saving energy.

They’ve saved all their energy for eating and sleeping and that’s all for as long as I remember!

So, this is my challenge for you. For the next month, just turn off your computer when you are done. See how much energy you can save!

Thought for the Day: Albert Einstein was once asked what the most powerful force in the universe was, and he said, “Compound interest.” Saving energy is like that. It takes minimal effort to make a difference. It’s in all our best interests to do something, no matter how small it seems. Everything helps! ______________________________________________

Top Traffic-Related Questions New Topics Each Week!

A Husbands Viewpoint

This story is about Childbirth from a husband’s viewpoint. Now I can hear a whole bunch of women saying, “What would a husband know about childbirth?” They are right. Husbands usually go into childbirth blindly. I did.

First it was the Doctor Visits. Then it was getting the nursery ready. Next it was going to showers (not me, her) Then she tells me I need to go to Lamaze classes where I will be taught how to breath. Right. Every week we would take our pillows and go to breathing class. We would lay on the floor and practice breathing. The teacher told me I was one of her best students. Right. This was going to be our first child, so we were clueless.

Finally, the time came for action. She started having contractions every 10 or 15 minutes. She was in constant contact with the Doctor. (I’ll bet he got tired of that.) He finally said “Don’t call until the contractions were 2-3 minutes apart. I fell asleep on the couch which was not very nice now that I think about it.

She read some where that she should pack sandwiches in her overnight bag in case the event happened in the middle of the night because he would get hungry. She made peanut butter and jelly. Right.

We finally went to the hospital around midnight and this contraction thing started getting serious. By the way, contraction is another word for pain, sheer pain. I ate a sandwich about midnight and got sick. I asked my wife to feel my forehead to see if I had a fever. She said “Can you wait a minute; I am having a contraction.” Right.

So, pretty soon she asked for the nurse because she was ready for her epidural. This is a shot they put into the spine to deaden the pain. I found the nurse and told her my wife was ready for her shot. The nurse informed me that your wife had to be further along on the birth before she could have the shot. Hmm. This is not good.

I returned to the labor room (I’m sweating now). I didn’t know what to do so I told her the nurse would be right in. (I may not go to heaven because of this.) Every now and then she would ask for the nurse, I would go out and stand in the hall a few minutes and come back and say “She’s on her way. “ Finally she came.

Later I was standing around with the Doctor while they prepared her and I asked him “Does it bother you when the husband is there when the baby is born?” He said no. It usually takes a while and at least we can talk about baseball or something. Right.

Our son came about noon the next day and he was a cutie. I cried. Not sure why. I was so glad to be a part of this miracle.

Great job, Dorothy. ______________________________________________

A Note From Bee During my growing up years fathers went to work, came home, had supper, read the newspaper, did odd jobs around the house, and then went to bed. Their love for us was understood because they provided for all our needs.

Mothers did not work so child care was totally up to them.

My father, Lee Brezinski was no exception. My sister and I did not expect anything else. As far as fun things went our father took us fishing occasionally and to Riverside Amusement Park. He was an excellent role model. He taught us to be good citizens and good Christians.

Whatever job we had as we got older we were to do it to the best of our ability no slacking. He was a strict disciplinarian. He very seldom had to whip us. Yes, whipping was acceptable. He just had to speak to us sternly.

Our Uncle Ed Kautsky was our go-to person for fun. I think that was due to the fact that he never fully grew up.

To name only a few things, he took us to the circus and fair, swimming and to get ice cream. Men of his generation were uncomfortable telling people they loved them. It took Uncle Ed to his 80’s to tell me that he had stayed up all night waiting for me to be born. The first time he saw me he immediately fell in love with me.

So, yes, my sister and I had a good childhood.

Bee Jones ______________________________________________

A quick review of recent emails suggests there are unanswered questions about what we call traffic-related questions in regards to traffic engineering principles or philosophies or engineering judgement (my favorite). Regarding the suggestions below, I would like to thank Larry S., Carl L., Steve E., and Bruce M., in that order.

Roundabouts — how can they be made more intuitive?

The number of signs and the pavement markings scare my grandmother.

Scooter Mania — where should scooters drive? On the sidewalk? On the street? And they are so much fun!

Speed Bumps — should be illegal. Use speed humps or speed tables or more stop signs (just kidding about more stop signs — stop signs should never be used for speed control).

Self-Driving Cars — but I like to drive my own car — that’s why I bought a Pinto. And when all cars have autonomous-mode, we won’t need traffic signals or even lane lines (this may be a few years away, but it’s coming) — say good-bye to traffic congestion.

School Zone Speed Limits — the “When Flashing” sign — all day? What about holidays, snow days? Are all these signs networked? Liability concerns???

Crosswalks — where warranted? When should they be signalized? Are bikes allowed in crosswalks? (only if you’re walking it). And what about mid-block crosswalks — signalized?

Speed Limits — how are they established? What about a town-wide speed limit?

Traffic Calming — what is it? Neighborhood speeding and/or cut-through traffic — what can be done?

Signal Timings — who is responsible for keeping signal timings optimized and traffic-responsive? How often should it be done and how can adjacent signals be synchronized so I don’t have to stop twice?

Traffic engineering solutions continue to evolve. I am a fan of elegant solutions, as Henry David Thoreau said, “Simplify, simplify.” Or as I like to say, “Simplify.” ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “What’s that, Archy?” I asked.

The squirrel was holding a tiny container, the size of a small matchbox.

“My box of treasures, of course,” he sniffed, not because he was being haughty or allergic, but because it seemed as if he had been crying.

“I assumed humans kept treasure boxes, too,” he continued, composing himself quickly.

I pictured that cigar box where I kept childhood treasures. An old marble, a blue-jay’s feather, a tiny pine cone, and pieces of broken china that worked their way to the surface each year we plowed the garden in the spring.

“Yes, Archy,” I replied. “Many of us keep treasure boxes, too. Will you tell me about some of yours?”

The squirrel seemed pleased that I asked. He held up something tiny and white.

“This is one of my baby teeth,” he said. “My mother kept it to remind her of my childhood. Now I keep it to remind me of her.”

I thought of those white leather baby shoes my mother tucked away in a dresser drawer.

“This is a chip of limestone from the last time the Court House was hit by lighting,” he said, holding a sliver of gray granite.

I realized I had some of the same pieces I picked up after that same incident and carried back to the office. I can still remember the sound of the lightning strike.

“Here’s one of my favorite pebbles,” Archy said, looking at what appeared to be a peach-colored jelly bean. “If you hold it under water, it sparkles. I’d show you if the fountain was working.”

I told him that I had some of the same items in my treasure box. He smiled.

“Some people think it’s funny to have such ordinary keepsakes,” he said. “But it’s the ordinary things that we find special that mean the most to us.”

Archy let me hold the tiny box and look at his collection. I handed it back and thanked him for sharing his treasure box with me.

“My pleasure,” he said cheerfully. “Always glad to contribute to your memory’s treasure box. ______________________________________________

The Art of Weed Control In Your Garden

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Happy Father’s Day June 20, 2021

I have to brag on my dad, Danny Nelson of Brownsburg, this Fathers Day. I could not have had a better example of fatherly, unconditional love and leadership growing up. Even in bringing two families together from previous marriages, which is not an easy task, dad did it grace and compassion. He continues to show these same attributes with all of twelve of his grandkids which is truly a joy to see. If he reads this Happy Fathers Day dad! We love you and you are truly the best around.

When weeding, try not to dig deeper. ____________________________________________________

Straw placed around the base of the plant makes a good weed barrier.

Got Weeds?

10. You can always eat your weeds. That’s right lamb’s quarters and purslane when they are young may be added to salads. Or mix young chickweed with basil and parsley to make a great pesto.

If your garden is like mine --You are pulling weeds and then pulling more weeds this time of the year.

Did you know there are literally hundreds of weed seeds in most garden soils? When you disturb the soil to plant or hoe -- you bring weed seeds to the surface and they germinate.

Annual weed control: keep in mind these tips: 1. Identify the weed before your start.

2. Don’t till- it brings up those seeds…do not use horse manure.

3. Weed early; Begin pulling weeds while they are still small - 3 inches or less.

4. When your garden plants grow tall enough, they shade the ground. No sun- weeds shouldn’t grow.

5.Use organic mulches such as straw, bark mulch and grass clippings from untreated lawns (no chemicals), chopped leaves work, too - all will keep soil, cool, and hold down weedy growth.

6. Inorganic mulch – Another way to mulch is to lay black, green, or red plastic mulch down on the beds before planting.

7. Mulch your garden walkways!!

8. Don’t let weeds go to seed, one pigweed can produce more than 10,000 seeds in one season.

I am ready to try a pre-emergent. Early Spring and Fall are the most effective times to apply pre-emergent herbicides. They can be applied throughout the year, however most weeds sprout during spring and fall so that is the key The Best Pre-Emergent Herbicides: • Prodiamine is the longest-lasting, and most economical due to lowest application rates.

• Isoxaben prevents a very large list of Broadleaf Weeds.

• Oxadiazon is a great granular option – safe in with turf and ornamentals.

Every pre-emergent product is a bit different, but you can expect a single treatment to last approximately 3-5 months. An easy way to check on pre-emergent brands is on amazon who sells different brands.

Why did the gardener quit? His celery wasn’t high enough

A Father’s Day Remembered, Knee Deep In June

And the game proceeds until it comes to the throw called “shave your pate” and you rebel.

Then the boy agrees to skip that because he can’t do it very well either and the game proceeds with all the twentieth century additions.

“Say, Pop, let’s go to the spring and get a drink.” The party repairs to the spring carefully protected by a large tile where gums were once used. And the boys hang over and drink their fill until one says he had a pain in his side.

“Say, Pop, did you know if you were going along the road and got a pain in your side and you’d pick up a rock and spit on the bottom of it and put it back just like it was, you wouldn’t have any pain any more.”

And with the statement would come a flood of memories. How that homely faith-cure was used years ago.

And the confidences in its virtues. And the knowledge that it was so. Then a troop of boys of other days seemed to march by – Harry Campbell, Harry Wishard, Horace Ogden, Charley McCord, Will Weaver, ‘Teedy” Dill, Lannes McPhetridge, Joe Greene, “Hoppy” Watts, Bert Dooley, “Ducky” Rankin, and a score of others.

“But did you know, Pop, that if you’re going along the road barefooted and you come to a place where there is a fresh horse shoe print along the road and if you step into that print, your foot will turn into a hoof?”

“And pop, do you guess the Injuns drunk this way by sticking their faces down in the spring, only they didn’t have any tile around it?”

Did you ever go out with your boys and do all these things and talk and answer questions until it seemed the very sources of simple knowledge were drained. If you have not, then you have missed the joy of living. You have failed to find the greatest human happiness. You have failed to find the fountain of youth grander by far than Ponce DeLeon dreamed of.

And as the shadows lengthen, with your arms about your boys, you walk home through the early dews, the scent of new earth upon you, the light of heaven within you, happy and thankful for the chance to live a little, to work a little, to look up at the stars and rejoice. ______________________________________________

Julian D. Hogate was editor of The Republican from 1890 to 1931. He was also the father of two boys, Donald and Kenneth. In this editorial from June 20, 1907, he describes a day with his boys and the memories it recalled.

Did you ever go out and revive your boyhood days with your own boys? Did you ever leave all your troubles behind you one of these glorious June days, and renew your youth, bring back the half-forgotten experiences of other years, again wander along the golden highways, amid the perfumed meadows and the glorious castles of Never Never Never Land as your boys plied you with questions about the olden times?

Strange it is that to youth the olden days seem the best.

A boy’s father always had a better time than the boy is having, it seems to the boy. A generation ago it was so when the boys of those days told the fathers of today of the stirring times during the war when the creek ran fuller and life was greater. And a generation from now these little fellows will be telling their boys of the days when the Big Four was double tracked and the trolley line built and of “how we used to play ball where it is all built up now.”

The grass is just as green – it’s blue in the pastures these June days – and the air is just as fresh and as balmy and the brook – it used to be a branch, and the creek – it used to be the “crick” – flow as merrily and the same craw-dads and the same mussel trails. And you find a shady spot and you pull your hat down and you recline to watch the little clouds and the big clouds and the thunder-heads form themselves into fleecy patches, leaving bits of deepest blue between, large enough to cut a sailor a pair of breeches and then you know it will not rain, for in the golden days there was a saying that when there was blue enough to cut the pants there would be no rain.

And you begin to sleep a little and the little fellows, tired with play, lie down alongside and one of them says: “Pop, were there ever any Injuns around here?” in an awe stricken tone. Then you watch a red-head hammer a tree and reply: “Yes, there were. They say right up here at McCoun’s spring there was an Indian village.”

“How do you know that?”

“I don’t know it. I just remember hearing talk about it.

Right up there above where Rammel’s mill stood.”

“Did you ever see a mill there?”

“No. I never did but I saw some of the old sills.”

“And George Rogers Clark when he captured Vincennes saved us from being English boys, didn’t he? And William Henry Harrison at Tippecanoe saved us from being Injun boys, didn’t he?” says the bigger boy.

“I guess maybe that’s likely so.”

One does not like to put memory against the inspiration of our present school course.

“Say, Pop, what kind of marbles did you play when you were a little boy?”

“Well, we played knucks and bull ring and Cincinnati and when marbles were scarce, we played with coffee nuts.”

“Coffee nuts? What are they?”

Then you tell about coffee nuts and how they were once legal tender among boys. And an explanation of the various games shows that while names may change, the good old game of marbles in its various forms is just the same.

“Did you every play mumble the peg?”

“Oh, yes. Horace Ogden used to have to root for the peg pretty often.”

“Well, let’s play,” and the lad digs out strings, balls, marbles and finally a knife that has a familiar look.

“All right, but you must tell me how the plays come.”

Happy Father’s Day to our fun and adventurous Dada!

“Thru the Years” from Indianapolis to Danville

A plastic statue of President Eisenhower smiling over an issue of The Republican from 1917, while an Elf on the Shelf keeps watch for good behavior. Just one of the groupings that make The Republican’s office a rich source of stories. ____________________________________________________

[Editor’s Note: Some have good luck, others bad luck. The Republican has a tendency toward serendipity. Throughout its long history, time, place and circumstance have combined to bring interesting stories to this newspaper. The walls of this old building can’t talk but they sometimes inspire people tell s their own stories.

The following story and photographs were submitted by Bruce W. Buchanan, who has added another layer of history to The Republican’s office.]

It was not unlike many messages that I have received over the years.

Someone uncovers an old printed piece related to Flanner Buchanan and they reach out to let me know.

And sometimes ask me to buy it. Our company is 140 years old (1881), so these messages are not a surprise anymore. But this notice that came through our website felt different.

Let me start by saying that I worked for daily newspapers in Muncie, Indiana; Marietta, Ohio; and New Orleans before I joined the family funeral business 25 years ago, so getting this message from a newspaper owner immedi-

ately captured my interest.

Next, when my company published “Thru The Years With Indianapolis” in 1940, Danville was really far away; so I had to ask myself how did our booklet get out there? And Jerry Vornholt, the sender, had taken nice pictures of it - and any business that dates back to 1847 captures my interest.

That’s got us beat by 34 years!

I was hooked for a road trip, anticipating a pleasant visit just to pick up our booklet. But what I was presented turned out to be a mysterious 80-year-old time capsule.

Jerry and I arranged for a time to meet at The Republican’s office. My quick stop turned into a two-hour discussion covering topics such as the changing dynamics of newspapers and printing technology, some history of Danville, and most importantly - community. Though the newspaper business is a far cry from operating funeral homes, one key similarity is the roll that the community plays in both. Community involvement and legacy relationships is a main driver of success for both businesses.

I also had the pleasure of meeting the newspaper

staff: Betty Bartley, editor, office manager Beth Polley and ad sales manager Kirsten Simon. From them I learned the formula that makes The Republican a vital concern. I would call it straight-forward well-connected, community journalism; so refreshing in today’s narrative-driven news approach found at most papers.

Social media can distort the facts, Simon told me.

“We tell people that The Republican will give you the accurate take,” she said.

The staff also believes that individuals appreciate the authority that comes from seeing their news on paper.

To start the tour Jerry walked me through the back of the building which has been the newspaper office since 1899. He showed me generations of old printing and typesetting equipment, some that still works. All of it fascinating, but it’s been years since they printed the paper themselves. It is now created on a computer and sent electronically to a printer.

Jerry is also a commercial real estate broker. He chose to put his office at the back of the building, wanting his clients to see the newspaper “museum” as they head back to his desk.

It’s all part of the community focus I mentioned earlier.

Then we sat down to look at the “time capsule” I came to see. Not only did he show me our booklet but contents that had been mysteriously added to the envelope. The post mark was gone, but the brochure

Publisher Jerry Vornholt is in the process of cleaning and reorganizing the typesetting cases where where The Republican was “made up” each week for many decades, before the operation became computerized and printed off-site. ______________________________________________________________________________

was mailed from Flanner Buchanan to a Mrs. Henry A. Miller in Indianapolis sometime in the 1940s.

That’s all we know for sure.

After a pleasant lunch on the town square I returned home to Indianapolis to scrutinize the contents of the envelope.

I discovered that it had become a place where Mrs. Miller, and possibly others, kept her keepsake printed news items. I found 12 pieces in the envelope besides our company booklet.

There were sections of the Indianapolis Star and News from as early as 1890 (featuring stories about major fires), a newspaper story about flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker (1943), even a copy of her son’s draft notice.

I was pleasantly surprised to also find Flanner

Hand-set type for a 1975 golf tournament still sets in the chase (frame) that was used to print it.

Buchanan ads in the pages of these old newspapers.

The only connection to Danville in the envelope was the front page of the Hendricks County Republican from March 14, 1889.

It featured a long profile of President Benjamin Harrison’s cabinet. This to me was the greatest find. Is this why the envelope ended up in The Republican’s office?

Nothing gave me a clue as to how it ended up in Danville.

This brings me back to the subject of community.

I can let the mystery of the envelope pass.

Our country was founded on the principle of a free press because without honest news gathering there can be no democracy. The Republican is a past and present-day time capsule of Danville’s activities that helps the reader bring the community into view.

These might sound like lofty principles, but they play out in the simple dayto-day activities that we all enjoy – and appreciate reading about in this newspaper.

Thanks Jerry. It’s been great meeting you. ___________

DCHS’s Jake Comer To Continue Football Career at DePauw University

Even after the advent of the Linotype machine, hand-set fonts were used for larger text and headlines. ____________________________________________________

Jake Comer makes a tackle on the field. He’s chosen to continue his sports career as a DePauw University Tiger.

Wooden shelves, 12 rows high with 5 dividers on each row keep a year’s worth of back copies of The Republican.

By Cooper Lee Danville High School’s Jake Comer signed with DePauw University to continue his football and academic career.

Comer knew from the beginning of the recruiting process that he wanted to attend DePauw, stating, “I had a few division three and small division two offers, but I knew DePauw was the school for me.”

This certainty hadn’t followed Comer throughout his football career, unsure of his intentions after high school until this school year. All of that changed when schools became interested in the senior. “Early in my high school career, I was set on going to a big school and parting ways with sports, but when I started to get looked at, I realized I couldn’t give up football so easily.”

The choice to attend DePauw wasn’t one solely based on athletics for Comer. The smaller school size and quality of education assures him that he will have plenty of time to

complete his schoolwork while also competing full-time.

DePauw offered him what he was looking for, including a great sport medicine and exercise science programs that Comer will look to take advantage of. “I am sort of leaning toward the sport medicine field. Either a physical therapist or an athletic trainer would be fitting for me.”

Comer praises the Danville football program, crediting the team with making him the person he is today. “Without football, I wouldn’t be near the man or athlete that I am today,” said Comer. The relationships made in his time in school and on the field have left a lasting impression on Comer, one that he will not soon forget as he moves on to NCAA competition. The person he attributes most of his personal and overall team success to is Coach Jayme Comer, the head football coach at Danville Community High School.

“Coach Comer was the best coach any high school athlete could hope fore, and he knows excactly how to run a football program. He’s the type of coach that ride with his player through thick and thin, and even off the field he’ll be there for you to make sure that you succeed in whatever it is that you want to do. My teammates and I put in countless hours of hard work, but without Coach Comer leading the way, none of this would have been possible.”

Jake Comer provides an insight from a position many young kids wish to find themselves in one day. He says it’s important for those to follow “not to get discouraged or give up if you aren’t getting attention from coaches that you’re hoping for.”

The number one tip that Comer could give was to control what you can control.

“Get in the weight room and make it your best friend.

Getting stronger in the weight room will translate to the field and make you a better player.”

With his Danville High School career behind him, Comer looks to blaze his own trail, a continuation of the journey which began with his experiences in Danville athletics.

Indiana Street House Becomes Home Grown Salon

Above: Home Grown Salon staff pose with Town Board members after the ribbon cutting last Saturday. Below right: A mirror reflects the home-like interior of the salon.

Colby Collins in front of the unique mural she had paanted by Julie Vornholt on the porch of Home Grown Salon.

“I’ve had my eye on this little house for a long time.”

That’s how Colby Collins explained how a dream became a reality last Saturday at the ribbon cutting and open house for Home Grown Salon, 52 N. Indiana, Danville.

A Mooresville graduate, she became interested in hair styling after touring an Aveda distribution center after college. She started working in Danville about two and a half years ago.

When the little brick house became available, she and her husband, Brian, didn’t hesitate. After equal amounts of planning and hard work, the house, built in the mid-1800’s and formerly used as a florist shop, became a trendy-full Home Grown Salon’s philoservice salon, with four stylists (one specializing in men’s phy decorate a wall. ________________________ styling) and two estheticians.

“My hope is to be a community staple,” she said, “where we give first haircuts, create memories on bride’s special day, or just become your favorite place to be every 4-6 weeks.”

CHARLES “CHARLIE” JONES passed away June 8, 2021.

“Charlie” Jones was an Indiana boy whose heart was pure positive attitude!

Born February 13, 1925, his roots go back to Bourbon, Indiana, where he graduated from Marshall County High School and was working on the family farm, when a neighbor boy said he was going to Purdue and asked Charlie to join him. So, off the two boys went to Purdue with their partially filled suitcases and dreams of their life ahead.

He found himself studying Science and worked his way through school as a lab assistant and dining hall captain. Later, he utilized his outstanding penmanship by printing the dewy decimal numbers on books for the Purdue Library. Summer jobs, such as house painting and replacing window screens, served as the foundation for his entrepreneurial spirit and taught him how to leverage his time and talents. Before he knew it, he had a team of over 40 people working for him and following his leadership.

These life lessons and the many other selling skills Charlie learned throughout college led him to his first job in New York selling pots and pans door-to-door. Although, not the glamorous life he’d hoped to find upon college graduation in 1949, it was an opportunity that expanded his world and exposed him to other parts of the country. This love of exploration led to a lifetime of global travel to scores of countries by being a founding member of Voyager 1000 and also the Ambassadair Travel Club.

He later worked at the Frankfort Co-op, then, moved to Lebanon, Indiana, and morphed his career into real estate related pursuits, by founding Royal Title Services, which provides residential and commercial title insurance and closings for local and national customers.

During his life, he collected thousands of tapes and CD’s, using his car as a classroom for perpetual learning. Additionally, he always found time to serve in leadership during his 70+ years in the Chamber of Commerce, Jaycees, Elks, Moose, Kiwanis, Rotary (Danville and Plainfield), Board of Realtors, Builders Association, Town Board of Ulen, York Rite, Scottish Rite, Shriners, Indiana Land Title Association (Life Emeritus) and the American Land Title Association.

He and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth (Libby) Jones, spent untold years connecting others to Purdue through membership in the Indianapolis, Clinton County, and Boone County Alumni Associations, Presidents Council (Charter Members), Friends of Convocations, and John Purdue Club. Through their two daughters, Susan (Matt Huffine) and Jennifer (Gary Katona), they endowed two Women’s Golf Scholarships. Along with supporting Purdue Crew, they have been season ticket holders for decades of Football, Men’s and Women’s Basketball, and Women’s Volleyball. Charlie and Libby were awarded the prestigious Black Coat Award for their continuous support and Charlie was inducted into the inaugural Business Hall of Fame class by the Boiler Business Exchange. Being the consummate Purdue Ambassador, you could always find Charlie with a pocket full of Gold “P” pins that he continually handed out on any occasion to anyone who might be a Purdue prospect (no matter their age!).

A positive attitude and a thirst for life-long learning is what invigorated Charlie. He was always happy to play a role in mentoring others and paying it forward. He spent his life working on his “dash” (the time from birth to death) and challenged others to ask “How are you spending your dash to make a difference with your life?”

His life spent “living the dash” is a great story! Please join us and share your memories on Wednesday, June 16th anytime between 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Strawmyer and Drury Lebanon, 22400 N. Lebanon St. Ind In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to your favorite charity in Charlie’s honor, as you pay it forward. ___________________________________________________ ROY ROBERT “BOB” HAYES of Avon, passed away on June 11, 2021.

He was born in Morristown, Tennessee on July 4, 1945 to the late Charles and Lucy Ann Hayes.

Bob was a natural born salesman. He started with the Kirby vacuum business as a salesman under his brother Jack Hayes. He eventually grew that into his own Kirby distributorship on the west side of Indianapolis. He won multiple Top Sales awards locally and regionally. Leaving the vacuum business, he moved over to Allied Construction where he learned about construction and again broke records and achieved numerous sales awards.

Bob was also an excellent teacher and mentor. He would identify people’s unrecognized skills and help them reach their own goals and success.

Working for somebody else wasn’t in his blood so he started his own construction company, B&E Construction, with his partner, friend, and coworker Elwood Simmons. After learning the ins and outs of running a construction business and building relationships with suppliers, contractors, and clients, Bob and Elwood decided to pursue their own ventures.

He then achieved his lifelong goal of starting Bob Hayes Construction. As the sole owner of Bob Hayes Construction he continued to build relationships within the construction community.

After nearly two decades of owning his own business, Bob was able to retire with the dream of spending time with his family and travelling.

Bob was an avid outdoorsman, who loved golfing, hunting, and fishing. He took the time to instill his love of nature into his children and grandchildren. Bob also enjoyed auto racing.

Whether it was watching Nascar on television, attending a race in person, or working on his own race car team, he always had a love for “good ole boy” competition. Even in his hobbies, he always strived to be the best.

Bob was a devout Christian who shared God’s message with his children, grandchildren, and anybody he felt needed to hear it. Bob was a member of Light and Life Free Methodist Church in Avon. He shared his gift of generosity to support the ministry and mission of Light and Life Church.

Bob is preceded in death by his parents and children Bobby Hayes, Lucy Hayes and Pamela Mills.

He is survived by his loving wife Deana Hayes of 39 years; siblings Ron (Pearl) Hayes, Bill (Jan) Hayes and Jack (Pat) Hayes; children Terrie (Steve) Baker, Mandie (Nate) Cafouras and Joshua (Rachel) Hayes; grandchildren Kristin, James, Christian, Ashley, Cody, Levi, Justin, Porter, and great-grandchild Nalia.

Services took place Wednesday, June 16, at Conkle FuneralHome - Avon Chapel. ___________________________________________________

KATHRYN SUE (Lynch) TURNER, 75, passed away June 11, 2021.

Kathy was born November 30, 1945 to Hubert Lynch and Mary Weliver (both of Darlington, Ind.) After graduation from High School, Kathy married Carl Turner. They adopted a niece, Kristine, and then Kathy gave birth to a daughter, Stephanie. Life was good and Kathy was a normal young adult who enjoyed the outdoors and life in general.

One afternoon all that changed. Kathy was visiting her grandfather with her mom and dad when on their trip back home, they were T-boned by distracted driver only blocks from home.

Kathy suffered a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down. She was 27 years old at the time of her devastating injury. She was hospitalized for over a year and went through many surgeries and physical therapy, learning how to transfer to and from a wheelchair. She resumed her married life and was learning how to do things from a totally different perspective as wife and mother. It wasn’t long before the stresses caused marital problems and the marriage ended.

Some years after her accident, Kathy embarked on a new venture as a volunteer with the Chaplaincy Department at Methodist Hospital. Her focus was in the Neuro-Surgery area and spinal-cord-injury patients in particular. She could readily relate to what patients were facing and enduring in their recovery. Her warm smile and friendly manner soon helped her broaden her responsibilities to coordinate a peer-volunteer program which she started at Methodist and later at Indiana Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana. She worked with spinal cord injury patients to teach them how to visit and encourage others in their recovery from this traumatic injury, both quad and paraplegics. She was embraced by both staff and patients on the unit and was an invaluable resource to the Staff Chaplains in understanding the ups and downs of men and women who were injured and going through the milieu of therapies in their recovery.

Kathy had the gift of lighting up the room with her endearing smile and her readiness to be involved in the care of patients and families. She at times could be a little testy when needed and was part of the overall team evaluating the needs of handicapped people coming to Methodist. Once she noticed that the carpet leading to and from the parking garage to the hospital was placed in such a way that it tended to pull a person in a wheel chair to the right or left. This made it difficult to go up or down easily without assistance. She wrote a letter to key persons about the need to replace the carpet and it was done not long afterward.

She was also a key advocate in her community of Plainfield and tenacious in following up on recommendations she made that would help improve whatever she noticed made difficult for handicapped people to get around in the community, whether it was shopping, eating at particular restaurants or going to theaters or sporting events.

She was honored by the Professional Chaplains Association for her work with patients and staff and received the Service to Mankind Award at their annual meeting. She presented a workshop at a PCA meeting in San Diego, Calif., on “Aging with a Disability,” with her daughter, Stephanie, who was “grilled” by the participants on what it was like growing up with a parent who was handicapped. Of course, Stephanie, never saw her mother as handicapped. She was just “mom.”

Kathy continued to be active in her church and has been a good resource in evaluating the needs of the handicapped. The church also embraced Kathy and held an annual “golf’ outing dedicating the income to assist Kathy with on-going financial concerns. The men’s club held an annual Pancake Breakfast in Kathy’s behalf as well. This was also a way for Plainfield United Methodist Church to fulfill their Outreach Ministry programs and Kathy was very appreciative of their support and efforts.

Ken Reed, Director of Pastoral Care at Methodist Hospital and Bill Clayton, Pastor of Plainfield United Methodist Church, spearheaded a drive to obtain funds to amplify the money made from the sale of the house Kathy lived in for many years following her injury. A new accessible home was built under Kathy’s direct supervision that has made it easier for her to manage her independence.

One of Kathy’s special joys in life has been her daughter, Stephanie’s children, Kaiden and Jesika. Kathy had the pleasure of taking care of them for about five years while Stephanie worked. A strong and lasting bond has developed between them as a result. Kathy’s declining health made it impossible for her to continue to provide this service.

Life did not get any easier as Kathy pushed on toward the “Golden Years” but she knows she was blessed to have so many friends who stood by her and supported her throughout her life.

God is good and now Kathy rests in his loving arms. All praise to God. Survivors include her children: Stephanie Suiter (Jamie) and Kristine Lovas (Matt).
