4-H Queen Contestants

In 1966 4-H Fair Queen candidates modeled afternoon dress.

Pictured left to right: Back row: Janey Baynes, Miss Washington Township; Donna Garner, Miss Brown Township; Ann Linton, Miss Middle Township; Janice Sharp, Miss Union Township; Front row: Debbie Goodwin, Miss Center; Carol Wyeth, Miss Eel River Township.

As we’ve done for 61 years, this issue of The Republican introduces the candidates for the Hendricks County 4-H Fair.

The contest was added in 1960. Orginally, elimination contests took place in each of the 12 townships.

The winner was Suzanna Glover, 16-year-old with five years in 4-H and representing Center Township.

In 1966, a bathing suit division was added. As the attitudes toward women evolved, the swimsuit portion also went by the wayside, and the “afterIn 1960, Suzie Glover was noon wear” modeling was changed to “business at- the first Hendricks County 4-H Fair Queen tire.”

In 1970, the township contests were eliminated, and first and second runner-up and Miss Congeneality added.

In 1995, the Carol Hitch Memorial Award was added as a tribute to the late Carol (Kincaid) Hitch, who was instrumental in conducting the Queen Contest for 25 years, and is presented by the Queen Committee to the contestant who shows the most improvement and helpfulness to other contestants during the series of workshops.

Today, the Queen’s Court consists of the Runner-up, three unranked Court members, and Miss Congeneality.

The Queen and her court are busy during the Fair at a variety of events, and presenting awards to winning 4-H Club members, and act as ambassadors for the 4-H Fair the rest of the year. The 2021 Hendricks County 4-H Queen will become eligible to be our county’s representative at the State Fair Queen contest later this year.

Photos of the 2021 4-H Fair Queen candidates are found on page 8 of this issue. The contest takes place on Satuday, July 10. ______________________________________________

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner takes items from

The Republican’s Yester-Year column to develop an interesting, informative and often humorous article.

To the Editor: I remain a huge fan of etiquette recommendations for when I “sit down to feed with the aristocracy.” It hasn’t happened yet, but I want to be prepared and avoid embarrassment.

I’m talking about a meal with a multitude of courses, several plates and two handfuls of forks and spoons.

I’ve read there are nearly 200 different dining tools.

In an item in an October 1884 issue, The Republican advised not to be late for dinner.

I never am. Actually, I’m never invited.

Don’t sit too far or too close to the table. The correct distance is not provided, an oversight not lost to me.

The napkin is never tucked under the chin or spread on one’s lap. For some, it should be. Rather, “let it fall over your knee.” I suppose the act denotes a disdain for ordinary slobber or tumbling morsels. I think leaning over the plate is safest, albeit unpleasant to watch from across the table. It is expressly forbidden, along with lowering the noggin to connect with the food-laden fork.

Not asking for a second serving of soup is okay with me as long as there’s something else coming right up. I’ve scant time for chitchat.

It’s important not to take on airs of gentility or yell while dining, or any other time.

I’ve witnessed particularly disconcerting feasting faux pas -- yelling at a spouse or the TV, or they’re shooing the dog and/or cat off the table.

“Don’t bite bread.” That’s what it says. Tear it into pieces and then apply butter. Am I then to swallow it without a hint of mastication?

If dining on fish, use a silver knife, because people believed fish blackens ordinary knives. That’s why I must dine with aristocracy.

I applaud the 1887 advice to commence eating once food is on your plate rather than wait until everyone else has loaded up. “No one notices his neighbor’s plate.”

From 1889, I learned “the etiquette of eating a soft-boiled egg has been the subject of more than one clever essay.” The revelation, according to a Good Housekeeping reprint, was the work of Mary Barr Monroe, a Florida-based clubwoman and conservationist.

She must have known how to behave at dinner parties. I certainly don’t. She clearly felt comfortable doling out gustatory technique counsel so readers would avoid nonplussing mortification.

The soft-boiled hen fruit sits in an egg cup (no clue as to small or large end up) and a small egg spoon is needed in England. Americans broke the egg into a cup and used a teaspoon. Methinks some go to far greater lengths than eggs deserve. Just eat them.

Mrs. Monroe had witnessed the egg grasped by a napkin corner, “but this is not only tiresome,” but risks soiling the napkin. I’m tired from just reading about it. That napkin is to remain carelessly draped over a knee.

Then she says celery is to be “carried to the mouth” using your fingers. “Transferred” is a better word, or “crammed.” At least she didn’t instruct readers to bite off a hunk and commence chewing.

Half of your butter plate is for celery salt. I prefer peanut butter. Is there a peanut butter plate? Martha Stewart has a slideshow about setting up a dinner table, but I’ve no patience for it, or for all those videos about formal dinner settings.

Corn on the cob hardly seems appropriate at a dinner party, but it’s okay if you hold the cob “daintily.” I see a problem if you’ve applied butter and you’ve not got a firm grasp on that cob.

Mrs. Monroe approves serving corn separately and having finger bowls.

Lettuce without dressing is torn apart using one’s fingers.

“This is usually the lady’s duty and there is no prettier picture than that of a young lady” ripping the greens to smithereens, highlighting her “dainty white hands.” It is “one of the most fascinating and becoming of table duties.”

If hot biscuits are passed around, tear off what you want, then tear off more for the neighbor.

Most importantly, if things are being passed around, don’t hold up the process, especially if I’m sitting next to you, already gagging because someone tore up my salad with her bare hands and handled my biscuit.

Yester~Year

The Republican has published local news weekly since 1847.

Some years ago when on the Gettysburg battlefield, Mr. Hall dug up a raspberry vine and a dewberry vine which grew where his regiment stood in the heat of battle. He brought them home but the raspberry vine died. The dewberry produces a few berries each year.

Our Colored People: Miss Bessie Lee has a position as a teacher in Georgetown, Kentucky. Will Bennett will enter the State University at Bloomington this fall.

DNR Urges Removal of Birdfeeders

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is recommending all Hoosiers remove their birdfeeders after reports of sick and dying songbirds have been reported from 15 counties.

While reports had not been received, there were reports from Marion County, to our east.

DNR is working with the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (IN ADDL) and the USGS National Wildlife Health Center to determine the birds’ cause of death. The affected songbirds showed neurological signs of illness as well as eye swelling and crusty discharge.

The following steps are recommended statewide: • Use the DNR sick/ dead wildlife reporting tool at on.IN.gov/sickwildlife to alert DNR staff.

• Stop feeding birds until the mortality event has concluded.

• Clean feeders and baths with a 10% bleach solution.

• Avoid handling birds.

If you need to handle birds, wear disposable gloves.

• When removing dead birds, wear disposable gloves and place birds and gloves in a sealable plastic bag to dispose with household trash.

• Keep pets away from sick or dead birds as a precaution. ___________ Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Electric safety is probably the last thing that crosses anyone’s mind on a leisurely summertime boat ride. But because water and electricity are a deadly combination, before taking off, brush up on some boating safety rules.

“It’s critical you stay away from electric power lines and other electricity sources when you go boating,” said Chris Gearld, Safety Director at Hendricks Power. “After all, besides being a popular ingredient for summertime fun, water is a good conductor of electricity. Even when you’re on a boat, electricity still tries to reach the ground below to the bottom of the body of water.”

Boaters should constantly be aware of the location of power lines. That means paying close attention when raising or lowering the boat’s mast or spar and ensuring drying sails and sheet lines don’t blow into power lines.

“When docking your boat, enlist the help of another person to help guide you at least 10 feet away from all power lines,” Gearld said.

Among other maritime must-dos: • While on the water, watch for signs that indicate where underwater utility lines are located. Don’t anchor your boat near them.

• When fishing, check for overhead power lines before casting your line.

• If your boat accidentally comes in contact with a power line, whatever you do, don’t jump in the water. Stay on board and don’t touch anything made of metal. Don’t leave the boat until it has moved away from the power line.

• If you notice a tingling sensation while swimming, the water could be electrified. Get out quickly, avoiding metal objects like ladders.

• Equipment leakage circuit interrupters protect swimmers nearby from potential electrical leakage into the water around your boat. Consider installing them on your boat.

To make sure your boat’s electrical system is in ship shape, periodically have a professional marine electrician inspect it. It should meet local and state safety codes and standards. Make sure the boat’s AC outlets are three-prong.

All electrical connections should be in a panel box to avoid contact. Ground fault circuit interrupters should be installed on your boat and on the dock. When using electricity near water, use portable GFCIs labeled “UL-Marine Listed.” Test all GFCIs once a month.

Local & Social A Great Tribute To Ed & Brian Shelton So many young families, so many old friends, farmers, co-workers, family and friends. A happy time to see so many with love in their hearts for Ed and Brian, their families and love for our community.

Special thanks to Delores, Brand and Kim and their families for providing an evening of reminiscing and to be able to express our love of Ed and Brian and to show our love of them to their family.

The family made it an evening of love and fellowship. Many relatives attending, Ronnie from Illinois, just like a brother to Ed, other relatives and a former co-worker at Allison’s, Ed Gaddy from Plainfield.

Thanks to everyone for coming, enjoying the fellowship, reminiscing, our blessings we shared. And I should say thanks to the family for the bountiful dinner we all enjoyed. A day we will all remember. _____ Circle of concern: Billy Tyson home from hospital stay. Get well wishes to Bill - how can he plant his garden? _____ Dottie Basham about the same. Was happy to have ladies from Christian Church visit her last week.

Jim, Bella and Luna are taking great care of her. Luna, little black kitten, sleeps on her chest or on a pillow next to her. Real cute. Glad to hear from Jane Hume today, cousin of Dottie. ______ Sonnie Johnston and Buddy came to Come Hang Out Store again Tuesday.

Buddy wants to volunteer and keep children and old ladies happy! We’ll find something he can do.

Rowena Osborn from near Indianapolis came again Tuesday. She likes to visit and help some. Also, Jo Reynolds came and did a great job of organizing toys, books, etc. Donna Alexander and granddaughter came for a short while. Donna is busy with grandchildren care this summer. Linda Salona also helps as does Phyllis Pearcy. Guess they feel sorry for me. Lots of donations to the store to be put up. Fanny Bergerson likes to drop in and check the crystal ware. So, together we solve many problems - we hope!

Town of North Salem looks so pretty. Everybody keeping their yards mowed.

A usual twice a week trim.

The new water tower has received a coat of white.

Looks better. Lettering will be blue (so I hear). So much work has gone into the re-location of the water facility. _____ Glad to see Dianne Neff able to be out after a fall.

So happy to get to see Alexandra Shelton at the Celebration of Life for their Dad, Brian, and Grandfather, Ed. She always delivered the Christmas remembrances for their Dad and his seed business. She now has two cute kittens and has added a dog to her collection. She says no more, though! Brad Shelton’s daughter Heather lives in Tipton and his son lives in Pennsylvania.

Phyllis Pearcy and granddaughter Jill Pearcy went to Shelbyville Sunday to attend Birthday Party for another granddaughter, Audri Hauk.

Tammy Childers came Thursday from Florida to spend a few weeks visiting family and friends. _____ You don’t realize how much we have missed the past year until you again start to see family and friends, have to recall names (if you’re old), count our blessings to again be able to congregate with all.

Take time to give some one a call or send a card to let them know you care. _____ Monday - a very warm, humid day. Karen mowed dogs’ lot. I mowed yard - white clover very bad, but know it will be several days before I have chance to mow again.

Well, Gene McCullough, Karen, Barb Oliver, Doris Stewart, Phyllis Pearcy, you’re going to have to spread out your goodies.

People said I should be quite wide if I ate all their goodies - but I don’t - I do a lot of sharing. Let me know if you know someone we could share with. God bless you one and all!

Everyone appreciates the Dollar General Store in North Salem. Will probably use more once they get used to stopping in. So convenient - real clean and they do have everything.

The restaurant is supposed to open soon. That will be a benefit to many.

We do appreciate all our businesses in town.

The Clogged Drain One of those frustrating things in life is the clogged drain.

There are several reasons that a drain may clog and accordingly, there are several ways to remedy the problem. The first and best remedy is to prevent the problem before it happens. Keeping items from going down the drain that may lead to a clog is always number one. Only flush things down a stool that will bio-degrade in manageable quantities. Too much of even a good thing can be more than our drainpipes can accept. Keep hair from going down the bathroom sink. If an occupant tends to use the sink to catch the hair that falls from their head, maybe a screen would help prevent it from going down the drain. Many times, the hair will become caught on the stopper mechanics in the drain, the hair then catches other products, and before long the sink is draining slowly.

The first thing many of us grab is that plunger and start working the sink. There are two basic types of plungers, the sink or cup type that looks like a bowl turned upside down and the toilet plunger which has a flange added to sink plunger. You make sure the plunger has a tight seal to the sink, keeping the seal in place, make several quick strokes attempting to push the clog further down the drain. If the clog is cleared, you will want to follow this with some hot water to make sure all the leftover debris is washed away. The problem is the hair may be snarled around the stopper mechanics it then resists moving.

The next step for the DIYer would be to remove the U-pipe, also referred to as the P-trap. Make sure you have something to catch the water and clog that will come pouring down once the trap has been loosened.

You can always turn to the commercial drain clearing chemicals, but you can risk harming the fixtures or pipes with their harshness. A less abrasive approach would be baking soda and vinegar. This makes a great volcano for your grade school project or a good natural drain cleaner.

After using the baking soda to help control the odors in your refrigerator, take a cup of baking soda and pour it down the drain. Immediately follow the baking soda with a cup of vinegar down the drain. Watch for a fizzing in the drain and five minutes after the fizzing stops, flush the drain with two quarts of hot water. Repeat this process until the clog clears.

For that stubborn clog, try pouring a cup of baking soda and a half cup of salt down the drain and let the mixture stay in the drain overnight before flushing it with two cups of boiling water. Both are natural methods that will not harm your pipes nor the environment. It is even a good idea to use this process as regular maintenance for those drains that are problematic.

Next is keeping that garbage disposal working for you. ______________________________________________

A Note From Bee Often times the parade committee has a hard time deciding who will Parade Marshal for the Brownsburg Fourth of July parade.

The Parade Marshal should be someone who has contributed to the community. My husband was chosen as Parade Marshal in 2016. He had been on the parade committee for 30 years and chaired the parade committee for about 24 years. He was very active in the American Legion and on several town boards.

Normally Nick Xenopoulos would have called him and asked him to be Parade Marshal. He left it up to our family. We had a family dinner and announced it to him. Of course, he was ecstatic to have received such an honor.

We have a small family and a friend arranged for a special farm wagon pulled by a tractor to take all the family.

He and I were driven by Dr. Sexton in his Bentley convertible. It was very special to see many of our friends along the parade route many of whom we had not seen in years.

It was, and still is, so heart warming to see families pulling wagons with young children and whole families walking to the parade.

With so many things changing let’s hope this never changes. Nick Xenopoulos with much hard work has managed to continue this tradition. Danny Nelson is going to be this year’s Parade Marshal.

Your Mental Health

By Chase Cotton The Willow Center 317-852-3690

3 Easy Nature Moments that Benefit Your Mental Health Although many students welcome the summer season as a time of rest and recuperation, for most of us (adults) it is just another season of the daily “8 to 5 grind.” Perhaps you have felt it too, that sneaking thought of “I really don’t feel like it today,” or, “I wish the weekend would get here sooner!” These thoughts can actually be a sign of stress and burnout. The sunny heat on top of these feelings can seem almost oppressive!

Despite the heat, there has never been a better time than now to get outside into nature in order to help reduce your stress and improve your mental health. Over the past several decades, multiple researchers have been studying the link between spending time in nature and our mental-emotional wellbeing. According to the American Psychological Association, some of the benefits include “improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders and even upticks in empathy and cooperation.”

However, as any adult may attest to, it takes time and intention for us to really commit to something that could be good for us. We are busy, busy, busy! Aside from work, there are chores to do, kids to take care of, and expectations to meet. How are we supposed to make time for something as “trivial” as improving our moods?

It is best to start simple by identifying ways to integrate nature time into your daily routine. Here are 3 ways you can get outside this week to help improve your mental health: 1) The After-Dinner Walk – Before you get started on dishes, grab the dog and the kids and head out for a brief stroll around the block. According to a study in the UK of 20,000 adults, even as little as a 30-minute jaunt outdoors four days per week can lead to “significantly greater health and well-being.”

2) The Weekend Picnic – Although incorporating something physical like walking is ideal, even sedentary time outside is helpful for regulating the brain. Consider packing some PB&J sandwiches for lunch on Saturday and finding a nice shady spot at your local park to spend a few minutes just sitting and enjoying the green space. In a study published in 2019, “contact with nature is associated with increases in happiness, subjective well-being, positive affect, positive social interactions and a sense of meaning and purpose in life, as well as decreases in mental distress.”

3) The Mediation Moment – This one is perhaps the easiest for us to participate in. This week, consider taking your morning coffee or tea outside and give yourself 5-10 minutes of breathing time as the day starts. Yes, you may have to set your alarm a bit earlier, but these few minutes of focused breathing while outside in nature can make all the difference in how you feel that day.

Spending time outside for the benefit of our mental health does not require expensive beach getaways or or remote, lengthy camping trips. By implementing these three simple nature moments into your weekly routines, you can help manage your daily stress and help prevent feelings of depression and anxiety.

Crash Course in Traffic Engineering Updated and Revised In its simplest form, traffic engineering involves three objectives. The first is identifying solutions to relieve existing traffic problems. The second is to anticipate future traffic and determine what improvements should be in place when the future arrives. The third is, well, I think we all know what the third one is...

The first approach is reactive — the second one is proactive. Both are important. Both are necessary. Although preventing problems seems more prudent than fixing problems, not all traffic problems can be anticipated and some anticipated problems never materialize.

In general, traffic tends to increase 1-2 percent per year no matter what. We’re not sure where this extra traffic comes from. Maybe something going on in the next town that we don’t know about or maybe there are just more cars on the road. In any case, history shows again and again: traffic increases. Eventually, this increase in traffic is “noticed” and improvements considered. The improvements generally involve optimizing and/or interconnecting traffic signals, adding turn lanes, roundabouts, improved connectivity, pavement markings or signage.

There is a second type of traffic growth. This type is more easily identified as it is associated with a particular development — typically residential or commercial. The goal in this case is to maximize access for the development and minimize the impact to existing traffic in the area. Improvements in this case generally involve optimizing and/ or interconnecting traffic signals, adding turn lanes, roundabouts, improved connectivity, pavement markings or signage.

The point is this, as much as thriving communities result in additional traffic, traffic solutions exist for existing problems as well as future problems. And if a future problem doesn’t become a problem? Well, in that case, don’t fix it. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy Archy was describing the latest meeting of the Squirrel Salon, where the erudite of his species gathered to philosophize.

“It was all about perception,” he explained. “How we see what we see and how we see what we can’t see.”

That seemed reasonable enough, I thought.

“Cattle crossings, for instance,” he continued.

I was familiar with the subject, having seen many of the in-ground barriers with slated floor beams that were supposed to keep cows from walking across them.

“They lack depth perception,” the squirrel went on.

“To the cattle, it seems like a bottomless pit so they won’t try to cross it. It leaves the roadway open for farm vehicles without having to open and close gates.”

“And how did that relate to humans?” I asked, assuming it would since most of the Squirrel Salon was spent in discussing human behavior.

Archy raised a eyebrow.

“Why poor perception is what keeps many humans from seeing what’s right in front of them,” he said. “Look around. Humans are always assuming a perception when there isn’t one. They like to think that an unseen force is holding them back from what’s on the other side of the fence. The majority of their perceptions lack depth. It’s how you use your vision,” Archy explained. “You have to recognize what’s right in front of you. Really look at it from all sides.”

“The optimist sees the donut,” I said, “the pessimist sees the hole.”

“Exactly,” said the squirrel. “Let’s go see if Red’s has any day-old donuts!

Woof! We had such a good time this weekend!

There was so much to see and do in Danville!

Hey, did you get up to the concert on the square last Saturday night? When we went for a walk early Saturday, we watched them blocking off the streets and putting up the stage. It was really neat! The summer concerts are great, between the food and the music and the food and the people and the food. We have a lot of fun there! And I get lots of scratches!

We can even hear a lot of the music from our back yard!

It sounded great! A couple of the dogs who live near us sang along on some of the songs. My brother Howard howls along with music sometimes. He has a nice tenor voice. And my brother Fred bays. Then, our sister Mabel joins in. She sings bass. Sometimes, others start howling, too, just for fun. I do not howl. I croon.

Some humans don’t believe that animals enjoy music, but we do. My brother Skeeter, who crossed the rainbow bridge a long time ago, liked to bark in time to some of the I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight,I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.

SUDOKU SOLUTION

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.

He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — ‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’ — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

Plant gladiolus corms in spring when soil has warmed.

I dig a hole 6 inches deep and set the corm in the hole with the pointed end facing up. (Farther north corms are planted 10 inches deep (also this will hold the Glads more upright). Cover corm pressing soil firmly. Space corms about 4 to 6 inches apart. I mulch with 3 inches of mulch, I do not dig them in the fall; I just throw some extra mulch on them and most survive the winter.

It is recommended to dug corms in fall - Remove excess soil, cut the stalks to within an inch of the corms, and let them cure for 1 to 2 weeks in a warm, airy location. Next.-- remove and discard the oldest bottom corms and store the large, new corms in plastic mesh bags in a well-ventilated, 35- to 45-degree F room. Do Not let them freeze! Replant in spring.

I have planted winter hardy gladiolus, they are shorter, 12-18 inches and have fewer flowers, they did well and corms multiped. Need no special care but mulch.

To enter a flower show the stalk must be 1/3 open1/3 showing color and 1/3 closed. Glads bloom from the bottom up.

Pick a stalk with 1/3 open and it will open up all the way to the top. Remove the dead Hardy Winter Glads flowers and recut stalk putting ________________________ in fresh water for a long----cut flowers.

Try some gladiolus this year for an easy cut flower – of course you can just enjoy them in the garden too.

Time to take stalk of your life.

We went up to the farmers’ market on Saturday morning, but there weren’t a lot of fresh vegetables there this week. I guess the odd weather we’ve had this spring has messed up everybody’s gardens. There were some delicious looking pies and breads that the ladies in the little white hats were selling. And there was some soap that was made out of sheep’s milk that smelled good enough to eat.

But I ate some soap once and it made me sick, so I don’t do that any more.

We went to the new art gallery on the square. It was really neat! Everything there was made by artists in and around Hendricks County. There were paintings and photographs and jewelry that was really cool. I saw some wall pieces made of shiny metal. I like shiny stuff, so I liked that a lot. And there were some vases that looked like pottery, but they were made out of gourds! They were pretty, too. So, yes, some animals do like art. My humans have a painting that was done by a baby elephant!

I heard someone say that you can take art classes at the new gallery. I may sign up for one. It would probably have to be a painting class. I could hold the brush in my teeth. Or maybe I could develop my own style by dipping my tail in paint and wagging it against the paper. Oh, and they had refreshments! One of the artists gave me a piece of a cookie when my humans weren’t looking. Thank you, whoever you are!

The Cooking Club

“Housewives of Hendricks County! Do you not have some excellent recipes of which you are especially proud and which you would like to give to your sisters who may also have some recipes which they would like to give to you. There are many ways to make bread, cake, pies, puddings, dressings and salads of which you have not known and which some of you do know. The exchange this information is the plan of the Republican. This paper proposes to be the medium through which you can communicate with each other. There are thousands of women read this paper and each would be glad to have a collection of recipes which they know are good. Each also has several recipes and by presenting them to each other through this paper, all will be gainers.”

The Republican April 4, 1895 “Several receipes have been received this week and more are coming,” the paper reported on April 4, 1895.

“Brownsburg, Plainfield, Amo, and Danville are represented in the four receipes printed this week.”

The recipes are typical of those found from the time the first cookbook written by an American for Americans was published. In 1796, Amelia Simmons’ American Cookery was “adapted to this country and all grades of life.”

The recipes do not include lists of ingredients as modern instructions do. Nor are there any mentions of temperatures for baking. A certain amount of culinary knowledge was assumed. These receipes did not include the name of the contributors BREAKFAST ROLLS - Scald one-half pint of milk and put in it a piece of lard or butter; sift together one pint flour, one teaspoonful baking powder, one table spoonful baking powder, one table spoonful of sugar and a little salt; add the milk, working it carefully so as to make a smooth dough; roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter, spread a little butter on each roll and lap together. Bake in a quick oven.

BAKED EGGS – Break into a buttered dish the number of eggs to be cooked, being careful to see that each is whole and so placed as not to mix or disturb the yolks of the others; put upon each a small piece of butter and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Adding a teaspoonful of cream for every two eggs is a great improvement. Bake in an oven until the whites are firm. Nice served with buttered toast.

OYSTER LOAF – Cut a long loaf of bread into slices about two inches thick, trim off the crust and make each piece square; dig the crumbs out of each piece leaving sides and bottom like a box – than is, make a square box out of each slice of bread. Brush each over with melted butter and put in a quick oven to brown. Fill with creamed oysters and serve.

This style of cookbook writing would start to change the following year with the publication of The Boston Cooking School Cook Book by Fannie Merritt Farmer, who included precise directions and standard measurements, earning her the title, “the mother of level measurements.”

GROTON, Conn. – An Avon native is serving in the U.S. Navy aboard USS California, one of the world’s most advanced nuclear-powered submarines.

Fireman Angel Martinez, a 2019 Avon High School graduate, joined the Navy a year and a half years ago. Today, Martinez serves as a machinist’s mate.

“I joined the Navy for the opportunities the military offers,” said Martinez. “I knew it could provide me financial stability for the future and the chance to do something different than most people I know. There’s not really a lot of water near Indiana, so the Navy has already provided me a change of pace from what I’m used to.”

According to Martinez, the values required to succeed in the military are similar to those found in Avon.

“My mother always told me to keep a positive attitude and to do my best,” said Martinez. “As a sailor, keeping a positive attitude allows me to be a better member of the crew. It makes the hard work not seem so difficult. Doing my best means that even when I fail my fellow sailors see that I am putting everything into my work, so they want to help teach me to get better.”

Serving in the Navy means Martinez is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy.

“National security is extremely important to protecting our loved ones back home,” said Martinez. “The Navy plays a huge role in ensuring the Nation’s national security by preventing foreign adversaries from entering our shores.”

With more than 90 percent of all trade traveling by sea, and 95 percent of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy.

Fireman Angel Martinez, Avon High School Class of 2019, is serving aboard the USS California. ____________________________________________________

As a member of the U.S. Navy, Martinez, as well as other sailors, know they are a part of a service tradition providing unforgettable experiences through leadership development, world affairs and humanitarian assistance.

Their efforts will have a lasting effect around the globe and for generations of sailors who will follow.

“I joined the Navy because I wanted to do something different from my peers after high school,” added Martinez. “The Navy is definitely different and I enjoy that it gives me the chance to do and learn something new every single day.”

Mila snaps a photo with Colts linebacker Dwight Freeney. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson

Four-year-old Mila Thomas was born with a neuromuscular disease and was diagnosed with SMA at nine months old.

“She’s missing a gene that tells her nerves when to make her muscles fire.

It impacts every muscle in her body, so over time, she gets weaker and weaker,” explained Holly Sontage,Mila’s mother. “Early diagnosis is really important for this disease and now, it’s included in the newborn screening. If she had had the medications at birth, things would be very different for Mila, but now we’re trying to wake those neurons up that were dying.

Maybe they will and maybe they won’t.”

At the time, Sontag was told Mila wouldn’t likely make it to Kindergarten but with new medical and scientific developments, she is hopeful.

Today, Mila is working to regain skills and two new treatments have become available since she was born. Sontag is able to shift her focus from keeping Mila alive to giving her experiences in which she’s able to thrive.

At a conference for Muscular Dystrophy Family Foundation (MDFF) Sontag and Mila happened upon a booth for A Kid Again, an organization aimed at giving kids with life-threatening illnesses a day once a month to go on adventures.

“Mila is obsessed with princesses and in 2019, the

Indiana chapter was pretty new here. Katie (Executive Director of A Kid Again Indiana) had a book of different adventures the kids have and the first one, was a photo of a princess party,” Sontag said. “We signed her up and it kind of went from there.”

At first, Sontag was leery of how much involvement Mila would have with the non-profit. Her daughter was just two and had very limited mobility. The first adventure they were invited to, involved a Microsoft coding event, for kids to learn about gaming and creating on the computer.

“I was thinking I didn’t know how Mila would be able to participate in something like that, but they gave her a paint program.

She wasn’t able to write at the time [she didn’t have the muscular strength to make an impression on paper] but it was amazing,” Sontag said. “She was able to draw and paint on something that actually showed up on this Microsoft Surface. She had a ball and now we own our own Surface.”

Over and over again, Sontag and Mila continued to show up at adventures and each time, were surprised and delighted by the results.

“I was nervous to do the bowling night, but we had our own lane, accessibility to get Mila’s wheelchair up there and a special device so she could roll the ball. It would have never crossed my brain to take Mila bowling,” Sontag said. “It’s those kinds of things that

you think she’ll be left out, but she doesn’t have to be.

It just takes extra planning and A Kid Again is more than willing to do that.”

A Kid Again has been operating in Ohio for more than 25 years. Inundated with many interested families and questions about growth and having a similar group in Indiana, the board chose to expand with Indiana being the first location with a new chapter.

“We have two great children’s hospitals in Indiana and there’s 10,000 families in the state that would qualify for what we do,” Regional Executive Director Katie Pappas said. “Everything is free for the families and includes siblings. They can come to one adventure or every single one of them.

We know that calendars are filled with appointments, therapies, procedures and blood draws and we want to be the bright spot on the calendar every month.”

In the few short years, the organization has been in Indiana, they’ve had adventures with the Colts, Pacers, Apple and Microsoft. They’ve been to baseball games, created music videos and an annual Christmas party.

Next month, more than 4,000 people will head out to Kings Island for the largest annual joint adventure, including each existing chapter to date.

Sontag spoke at A Kid Again’s annual Nashville in Noblesville fundraiser last year and shared Mila’s story.

“The event was amazing, but I was nervous,” Sontag said. “People had been enjoying themselves all night and when I got up there, a room full of 200 people went silent. They genuinely cared about Mila’s story – about these kids they don’t even know. I think what A Kid Again is doing is certainly impactful and there’s an entire community supporting them. It was a bit humbling for me.”

A Kid Again is always looking for additional volunteers and community partnerships.

Brownsburg Police & Fire Host Safety Camp

Students learn from Brownsburg firefighters in the new community education tent. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson The Brownsburg Police Department and Brownsburg Fire Territory host an annual youth summer camp for ages 7 to 13. Campers have the opportunity to learn from police officers, firefighters, EMS and other first responder personnel with team building experiences and safety lessons.

“We do a variety of things throughout the week,” said Sgt. Pete Fleck. “Earlier this week, we had a motorcycle demo, the kids brought their bikes and got to take those through cone courses and cross-country trails.”

On public safety day, the campers joined staff from the Brownsburg Fire Territory to learn more about fire safety and a variety of situations firefighters may encounter on a given day.

In one training facility, the kids experienced a fire simulation with lights and a smoke machine.

“We have a demo to show how a fire starts and then grows, “said Deputy Fire Marshal Paul Hudson. “It’s a combination of what kids should do if there is a fire and

The community education trailer can house the tent and many other helpful tools, making it easy to transport everything needed.

From 6-10 p.m. Saturday, July 3, Avon Town Hall Park will be packed with fun and celebration for the entire family.

Not only can you bring out the cornhole and frisbees, but Avon Parks and Recreation have brought in a variety of free activities as well. There will be live music featuring Mike Whitlock and Atta Boy and a live animal show with Hedgehog Hannah.

Food trucks will be on hand (the only activity you’ll need to purchase) and there’s something for everyone: BBQ, tacos, hamburgers, vegan options, ice cream and baked goods to name a few.

From 6-8 p.m. kids can check out the petting zoo and take pony rides with City Ranch. Horses will be available for the adults too.

Get your face painted from 6-9 p.m. and then settle in

for a spectacular fireworks show.

“This is the first year for this event and yes, we’re celebrating the Fourth of July, but also just providing something nice for the community to get together and have a fun time at the park,” Parks Event Coordinator Delbert Harmon said.

The parks department also raffled a VIP spot for the event, giving one lucky family premium seating for the music, activities and fireworks. The bidding ended June 28.

“We went through a very stressful year in 2020 and a lot of people stayed home and away from friends and family,” Harmon said.

“Now, we’re ready to bring out the family and reconnect, enjoy being at the park and get some great food. It’s just a great place to come and enjoy yourself.”

Parking will be at Avon Town Hall Park, Avon Unit-

Alzheimer’s Support Group

Are you taking care of a loved one, spouse or parent that has Alzheimer’s? Do you know someone who is?

Hendricks County Senior Services (1201 Sycamore Lane, Danville) is hosting a monthly Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Group.

The next support group meeting is Thursday, July 8, at 2 p.m.

This group meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 2 p.m. The group is open to anyone affected by this disease. All meetings are confidential and free of charge. No reservations are required.

Facilitator, Deanne Sanders Below, Coordinator of InHome Services and Information at Hendricks County Senior Services offers the support group to help those who provide care to loved ones with Alzheimer’s.

The mission of the support group is to give caregivers an opportunity to share experiences and gain strength and knowledge from others.

“We want caregivers to realize they are not alone when caring for their loved one with Dementia. We share ideas and how we can look at changing behaviors differently” states Below.

To receive additional information on this support group, please contact the Deanne Sanders-Below at 317910-5367. If you are wanting information about Dementia, contact the Alzheimer’s Association Helpline at 800272-3900 or www.alz.org/Indiana The Hendricks County Senior Services is located at 1201 Sycamore Lane in Danville.

In another education demonstrations, campers learned how to search a large area. ____________________________________________________

then how firefighters have to learn how a fire behaves and how it grows.

At another station, campers learned tools used by firefighters and some of their safety procedures.

They were able to utilize the fire department’s new piece of equipment – the public education tent.

“In the past, fire departments had safety trailers and it was a really narrow group we could focus on,” said Fire Marshal Steve Jones. “It’s not accessible to seniors and other groups, so I was looking for a structure that could be utilized in a variety of situations. This structure is intended to be a temporary hospital but we’re using it as a portable classroom. It can deploy in less than five minutes and easily taken into schools, neighborhoods and senior living facilities.”

The fire department received a grant from FEMA to purchase the new ‘classroom’ and another grant from the Brownsburg Walmart allowed the team to purchase an outdoor rated LED television to use with the community education program.

“We’re interested in more than fire education. Our seniors make up a good portion of 911 calls and getting resources to that demographic and connected to the right people, allows us to get ahead of some of those calls,” Jones said.

The department is also planning a partnership with Hendricks Regional Health and other community partnerships for joint education opportunities.

Look for the large red tent at local events and community outreach opportunities in the near future. For more information, follow Brownsburg Fire Territory’s Facebook page.

Local Historian Gives Insight to Andersonville Prisoner of War Camp at DAR Meeting

A lithogaph of the Andersonville Prison Camp “as it appeared August 1st, 1864 when it contained 35,000 prisoners of war.” The pictures were drawn from memory by Thomas O’Dea, a private with the 16th Regiment Maine Infantry . An Irish immigrant, joined as a drummer boy and was captured in May 1864 during the Wilderness Campaign in Virginia, eventually ending up at Andersonville.

In 1918, James W. Barlow of Plainfield donated a 4 x 6 ft. framed copy of the lithograph to the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R) Post at Danville. The picture is in the collection at the Hendricks County Historical Museum. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

With a surname of Niemantsverdriet, an interest in history and genealogy was a natural curiosity of Carolyn Niemantsverdriet.

After having the opportunity of visiting the site of the Civil War Prisoner of War Camp, Andersonville, in Andersonville, Georgia, CAROLINE Carolyn began studying NIEMANTSVERDRIET about the most famous of the 150 military prisons of the Civil War and shared her knowledge with the Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) at their recent meeting.

During its fourteen months of operation, Andersonville (also known as Camp Sumter) housed 45,000 Union prisoners of war, with nearly 13,000 of those dying from disease, poor sanitation, malnutrition, overcrowding, or exposure.

One of the most difficult problems was the lack of funds and inability of the South to pay market value for the lumber or timber. This coupled with the fact the Confederate Government had decided the railroads warranted a higher priority on lumber than a facility to house Union POWs. As the prisoners started to arrive into the unfinished Camp in February 1864, not all the stockade walls were finished and nothing but open space awaited them. The lack of housing denied the POWs shelter from sun, frost, and insects.

By the end of June, some 26,000 men were confined in a prison area originally intended to hold 13,000. The

largest number held at any one time was more than 32,000 in August, 1864.

Another critical issue was the number of guards were inadequate for the number of prisoners of which nearly 400 were arriving daily.

As the war continued, Niemantsverdriet painted a vivid picture of what awaited the arriving prisoners. Once through the gate, entering into the prison pen, the prisoners were welcomed by filth, black mud, vermin, lice, and maggots.

The pen, in the shape of a parallelogram covered approximately 16 ½ acres of land, enclosed by a 15-foot stockade of pine logs. In June of 1864, the pen was enlarged to 26 ½ acres. Sentry boxes for the guards were at 30-yard intervals along the top of the stockade. The “Deadline” lay 19 feet from the wall and the prisoners were forbidden to cross the line upon threat of death.

A stream flowed through the prison yard supplying water to the prison. As conditions deteriorated, the stream was not only used for drinking but also to bathe and as a latrine.

With no barracks for housing, prisoners gathered tree branches littering the ground for firewood and makeshift shelters. Those that arrived with coats and blankets to use for shelter and those with cooking utensils increased their survival rate.

As the population of the prison rose, not only was the Confederate government unable to provide housing, but food, clothing or medical care. Firewood and food became scarce.

Rations consisted of eight ounces of corn bread (grinding both cob and kernel), two ounces of condemned pork, and about twice a week, two tablespoons of rice. In place

Page A-11 of the pork, about twice a month, two tablespoonfuls of molasses were given.

Many prisoners did not have shoes, some were without coats and pants; many indecently exposed or naked.

As these conditions worsened so did the mortality rate.

Deceased prisoners were taken from the stockade and placed in the “Dead House” where they were kept until they could be taken the half mile journey to the cemetery where they were laid side by side in a trough. Niemantsverdriet described the burials “like crayons in a box”.

Although most prisoners were too weak to attempt escape, there were some successful escapes from Andersonville. Some were by prisoners on work crews outside the stockade. Tunneling was another escape method attempted. The combination of clay and sand made digging difficult and created obstacles but it did not stop prisoners from trying with sticks or broken canteens or even their bare hands. Lack of wood to support the tunnel, the threat of spending a week in the stockade and being turned in by other prisoners to obtain rations for doing so, were other deterrents.

Trying to deceive and attacking the guards were also tactics used by prisoners. Most prison camp guards had no battle experience. Many were under 17 or over 50. Prisoners reported that guards who had not seen battle were more brutal than those that had.

Niemantsverdriet closed in speaking about what is now the Andersonville National Cemetery. Five sections are interments of Union prisoners who died in the prison camp. Two more sections, with 800 interments are Union soldiers who died in hospitals, other prison camps, or the battlefields in central and southwest Georgia; bringing the total burials to 13,700. As a young teenager, Dorence Atwater of New York, was a prisoner of war at Andersonville. Assigned as a hospital clerk, Atwater kept a secret list of the dead. With the help of Clara Barton, the list was published after the war. Due to his efforts, only 460 Union soldiers were buried as unknowns.

Through the years, many monuments have been erected on the grounds. Each Union state erected a monument. A Georgia Monument, dedicated on Memorial Day 1976, is a memorial to all American prisoners of war. The Odd Fellows monument is dedicated to the memory of all the unknowns buried in the National Cemetery. The Stalag XVII-B monument is in honor of all the prisoners held in German prison camps in the European theater of operations. A Prisoner of War Museum stands for all American prisoners of war for all conflicts. Twenty-two graves at Andersonville National Cemetery bear the initials U.S.C.T, which stands for “ United States Colored Troops,” the group of black troops that fought for the Union.

Originally from Lafayette, Niemantsverdriet attended Purdue University as an undergraduate and grad school at Iowa State University. Retiring as Bureau Chief, Department of Human Services, State of Iowa and as Adjunct Professor, Buena Vista University, she moved back to Indiana ten years ago and currently works at the Danville Public Library in the Indiana Room.

Tracing her family line, she was able to locate other Niemantsverdriets and holding the first ever Niemantsverdriet family reunion in America. Carolyn states there aren’t many but every Niemantsverdriet in the world descends from a single ancestor in the Netherlands in the 1500s.

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.

Santa will be adjusting his GPS for the Christmas on the Square event in Danville. A new tree was planted on on the southeast corner of the court house yard, to be used as the Christmas Tree during the holiday season.

The tree will be replacing the one used for many years at the northeast corner of the building. That tree was planted in memory of H. Hunt Palmer (1955-2000), a member of the Hendricks County Council (see photos at right). That tree is showing signs of its age, with many of the interior branches breaking.

Before that, there was a conifer planted on the north west corner of the court house yard by the Boy Scouts in the 1930’s. It was cut down to make way for the fountain plaza when the square was “revitalized” in the 1990’s.

Workers from the Danville Department of Public works dug the hole and lowered the tree into place. A trench was dug and plastic conduit laid in a trench to bring electricity to the tree from the court house. The County will supply the electricity to light the tree.

The project is a cooperative effort between the Downtown Danville Partnership, Hendricks County, and the Town of Danville.

DR. ROBERT (DR. BOB) TIPTON of Avon, passed away on Friday evening, June 18, 2021, at home, surrounded by his loved ones. He finally found peace after a 5 1/2 year battle with Glioblastoma Multiforme – Grade 4 Primary Brain Cancer.

He was born on November 6, 1943 in Lebanon, Tenn., the son of Douglas and Frances Louisa (Donnell) Tipton. Dr. Bob graduated from Gallatin High School in 1961. He went on to graduate from Vanderbilt University (1965) and University of Tennessee College of Medicine (1968). He then went on to begin a postdoctoral fellowship in Medical Genetics at Johns Hopkins Hospital, before starting and completing his Internship and Residency in Pediatrics in 1971 at University of Tennessee Medical Units and City of Memphis Hospitals. Afterwards, he completed his postdoctoral training in Medical Genetics, graduating in 1973, also from University of Tennessee, Memphis.

After Medical School, Dr. Bob fulfilled his military obligation with the United States Air Force, becoming Pediatric Staff and Genetics Consultant. Dr. Bob achieved the rank of Major and spent two years at Scott Air Base in Belleville, Ill. After being honorably discharged, Dr. Bob worked as Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Family Medicine at University of Tennessee Medical Units in Memphis, Tenn, until 1980, when he joined Memphis Children’s Clinic in private Pediatric practice.

In early January 1988, Bob began his fellowship in Neonatology, completing in late 1989, then joining East Memphis Neonatologists, Memphis, where he practiced at Baptist Hospital until 2003 when serious illness forced him to take a leave of absence. He later joined Pediatric Associates, Memphis and remained there until moving to Lafayette, Ind. in 2008 to again practice Neonatology with Lafayette Neonatal Associates, covering hospital Neonatal Units in Lafayette, Terre Haute and Valparaiso, Ind. In 2013, he began licensing in multiple states and practicing as an independent locum tenens. Eventually, he was licensed and practiced as a Pediatrician/Neonatologist in 10 states, with his final assignment in Southeast Alabama, where he fell ill, which led to the diagnosis of Brain Cancer in Fall 2015.

It was in Lafayette where he met his wife, Beth and they were married. They celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on June 1.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son Robert, Jr. Surviving in addition to Beth, are his daughter Mary Elisabeth; step-children Casey (Craig) Richey of Avon, and Adam (Nikki) Windhorst of Scottsdale, Ariz.; brother Doug (Yvonne) Tipton of Wilmington, Del.; nephews Franklin (Libby) Tipton of Mill Valley, Calif. and Bryan (Twiggy) Tipton of Alexandria Va.; great nieces and nephews and many Donnell cousins located all over the United States and Australia. He also leaves behind his beloved goldendoodle, Derby.

Anyone who met Dr. Bob would soon know about his love of ‘his babies’ – the critically ill infants he lived to care for, his love of beautiful and fast cars, his love of animals, his love of being physically active, his love of tennis, his love of family, his love of traveling, his love of reading, his love of good food and wine, his love of a good glass of scotch and a fine cigar, his love of telling jokes and stories and his incredibly generous spirit.

For the entirety of Bob’s illness, he was treated at the IU Health Neuroscience Center in Indianapolis. The family would like to especially thank Dr. Edward Dropcho, MD and Drew Geiser, RN for their generosity of time, kindness and attention that was always available to Bob and Beth. Also, a great amount of gratitude to Premier Hospice for the respect and genuine kindness shown to the entire family during Bob’s last days.

A private Service of Remembrance will be held at a later date.

The family asks that, if you knew Dr. Bob, to please celebrate in his honor, remembering how his life touched yours in a joyous way. Those who wish to remember Bob in a special way may make gifts in his memory to the following; IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center for Joanne I. Carey Glioblastoma Research Fund - Make checks payable to IU Foundation and mail to: IUF, PO Box 7072, Indianapolis, IN 462077072. Indicate “In Memory of Dr. Robert E.

Obituaries

HERBERT “HERB” QUANDT, 90, of Indianapolis, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on June 29, 2021, in Danville, Indiana.

Herb was born on November 25, 1930 in Bruceville, Indiana to the late Omar and Mildred (Patterson) Quandt.

Born during the Great Depression in 1930, Herb is one of 10 siblings in a very close family!

Herb was a graduate of Arsenal Tech High School, where he lettered in Football as Captain of the Team and Wrestling as AAU State Champion. He attended Michigan State University on a wrestling scholarship.

In 1952, he was deployed to Okinawa, Japan to serve in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. Owning his first business with his brother Bud, a filling station at 30th and College at the age of 20, the sign out front read, “Never Fear, the Quandt’s Are Here.” A serial inventor, a regular “Walter Mitty”, Herb reveled in the opportunity to create a solution to any problem. He was an avid salesman and worked many years in the industrial material industry, supplying to Little Tyke toys, which made up most of our childhood toy collection. Herb worked through his 90th year at KIDS Custom Covers, a business he built in honor of his children.

Herb enjoyed flipping houses and managing properties and was known to show up at his kids’ houses with his toolbox ready to get to work. Hosting family and friends around the dinner table brought him more joy than we can count, always making a sandwich or a bourbon and coke for anyone who could come by.

One of his most favored roles was Pop-Pop to his many grandchildren. The constant encourager, Herb’s hype-game was unmatched in lifting our spirits, up to the very end. While he may not have made his goal of hitting 100 years old, we find comfort in knowing he loved who he loved with passion, compassion and a never-ending willingness to lend a hand.

Survivors include his children, Debbie Wilhelmus (Gary), Michael “Herb, Jr.” Quandt, Beth May (Steven), all of Kentucky, Kay Hickey (Ed) of California, Scott Quandt (Jenny) of Danville, Lindsay Quandt Obaji (Konye) of Carmel, Susannah Quandt (Chris) of Danville, Cassandra Quandt (Derrick) of Trafalgar, siblings, Bud Quandt, Betty Quandt Clark, Phillip Quandt, all of Florida, Shirley Q. Smith-Potter of North Carolina; like-a-son Adamir Rocha (Sylvia) of Indianapolis; 23 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

His parents, daughter, Jacqueline Quandt and siblings, Donald, Paul, John, William Quandt and Mary Quandt Averitt, preceded him in death.

Funeral services will be at 1 pm on Friday, July 2, 2021 in Baker Funeral Home, Danville, with burial to follow in the Danville South Cemetery. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the service time in the funeral home. All are welcome at a celebration of life for Herb at 5 p.m. at 482 E. Broadway in Danville.

Memorials may be given to the Jackie Quandt Leadership Fund, c/o the Hendricks County Community Foundation 6319 E U S Hwy 36 Ste 211 Avon, IN 46123. The family wishes to extend our sincere thank you to all the caregivers who helped shepherd Herb home.

Everything Regina did in life she accomplished it all with excellence and grace. Regina was a devoted wife of 55 years, a mother, and a wonderful grandmother.

Regina was born January 1, 1946 to Joe and Doris Weber in Hammond, Indiana.

Wayne retired with the rank of Sergeant Major in 2009.

Wayne worked for 29 years as a Technical Analyst for Indiana Insurance/Liberty Mutual Insurance, but his heart was foremost with the Army Reserves. Wayne’s insatiable thirst for knowledge earned him many degrees during his lifetime, but the history of military firearms was his passion.
