Christmas in July

The pantries at Sheltering Wings get fully stocked each Christmas from donations of basic necessities for families fleeing domestic violence. Those stockpiles are nearly depleted by mid-summer, but women, men and children still arrive every day with next to nothing of their own. That’s why Sheltering Wings is celebrating Christmas in July: Give. Gather. Share.

The event includes a dollar-for-dollar matching gift and a Wish List Donation Drive.

“When a survivor of domestic abuse doesn’t have to worry about buying basic things like sheets, cleaning supplies and baby bottles, they can focus on finding a job, getting an education and building a new, independent life,” said Executive Director Cassie Mecklenburg.

Take Areta, a woman who came to the shelter pregnant and with three young children in tow. Sheltering Wings enabled her to focus on earning a college degree and exceling at a job. Today, she earns a salary and has her own office, and her children will go to school with all the school supplies they need.

Community members have three ways to be part of the celebration: Give. During July, every dollar donated to Sheltering Wings will be matched by a group of donors and partners (up to $10,000).

Gather. Get your work colleagues, family or friends together to shop for the Sheltering Wings Wish List at shelteringwings.org/ChristmasInJuly and on Amazon.

The shelter’s residents need towels, pillows, baby bottles, men’s shaving equipment, over-the-counter medicines and more. Then there are cleaning products and office supplies used by staff and residents alike.

Share. Spread the word about the shelter’s resources on social media with a special promotional kit available at shelteringwings.org/ChristmasInJuly.

Items can be dropped off on weekdays from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. or call (317) 386-5056 with questions.

Christmas in July is presented by Pools of Fun. _____________________________________________

Hendricks County Deputy Chuck Jones was named Indiana’s School Resource Officer of the Year the Annual Conference of Indiana School Resource Officers recently held in Michigan City, Indiana.

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 constantly pursue style advice, whether sartorial or comportment. It abounds locally, harkening back to Hendricks County’s dawning days.

Earlier hints are gleaned before there was a Danville, or the county’s first pioneers.

Madam Spitfire from Knox County in 1817, had style.

She set up shop “at the Furies on Hackle Street, next door to the Cat’s Paw Tavern.”

Around the clock, any day, she dispensed “the noble art of Scolding and Quarreling, in good or bad humor, in love or spite.”

Her approach was in “the newest and most approved style.”

How we need her now. She was ready “before or after meals,” and in English or Dutch.

She had a technique for everyone, aimed at anyone. Married women could scold their husbands “blind, deaf and dumb in six weeks.”

Think of it. An accomplished harpy battle-axe in six weeks. Madame Spitfire, herself, had scolded eight husbands to death in three years, and the ninth was heading in that direction.

She was so accomplished she had scolded her own teeth out, rendering her powerless to teach biting. She worried little about toothaches.

She taught grimaces and “furious faces.” She taught how to scratch with needles and pins.

She claimed the power to scold water into vinegar.

By 1885, ladies were cautioned not to whistle, climb fences or scold when they were angry.

In 1883, in Danville at 6 W. Main St., John Bayne sold Solar Tip shoes “in style, quantity and price.”

I went on-line to get a street view of that address and blocking it was a fellow in a black Suburban, a big Slurpee in hand, taking up two parking spaces. That’s style.

Ladies’ hosiery featured lengthwise stripes in fall 1881, yet mere inches from that disclosure I read that “fashionable” hosiery had nearly horizontal gold threads, and in various colors and stripes. That confusion aside, was anyone decently allowed a good glimpse of what covered ladies’ legs back then?

Later that year, a notice observed that “a lady wants to know that latest Parisian style of dress and bonnet and a new way to arrange the hair.”

Turns out “millions were expended for artificial appliances” in a vain attempt to mask the truth that “emaciation, nervous debility and female weakness exist.”

Far better to visit the druggist for Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription,” which “if used as directed . . . will overcome those diseases peculiar to females.”

It was a botanical cure, but there may have been opium involved.

Americans’ “horrible habit of putting their hands in their pockets” led to canes’ popularity. Is that post hoc ergo propter hoc?

The style and fashion of carrying canes had rules “among the swells and lah-de-dah lads” of New York in 1883. Fops observed yearly changes “with as much exquisite punctilio” as ladies who wore a poke bonnet, then a scoop hat.

Canes, fashioned from wood from across the globe, had changed from a fish hookshaped shepherd’s crook from London to the plain Zulu curve from Paris. The year before, fribbles sported canes with a silver-ball handle.

A generation earlier, the whalebone cane was in.

Each season, style dictated how the cane was carried. I can’t fathom the “aesthetic” style where the dandy held the cane limply between the first and second fingers of both hands, elbows forward and shoulders roundThe Dude of the 1880’s, with his cane. ed. I tried it with my livestock cane and it made no sense.

I think more than a few rural residents laughed themselves silly reading about those posers. As for townsfolk, I confidently assume at least a few affected those styles reported

by The Republican.

Men were advised late in 1884 never to come down to breakfast in their dressing gowns. Rather, their morning suit was appropriate. “There are men who sit at table in their shirt-sleeves. This is very vulgar.”

Someone in 1886 counseled young men to black the back of their boots, and not wear reversible collars and cuffs.

“What does it indicate when the heels of the boots are not blackened? The boy is not thorough. He only does what he is forced to do.”

He was not a true gentleman and lacked character.

How many readers looked at their boots?

The night of the Fourth of July, 1921, will long be remembered as “some night” in Danville.

MADE@Plainfield is a 100,000 square foot facility for higher education in Hendricks County.

Classes start this fall for the 2021-22 school year. _______________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson A few years ago, Plainfield School Corporation Superintendent Scott Olinger approached Plainfield Town Council President Robin Brandgard about an education gap he saw within the county.

“They began talking about furthering education but not in the traditional sense,” said Stephanie Singh, Director of Communication for the Town of Plainfield. “We have the warehouses in Plainfield looking for qualified people and people looking to gain qualifications for those jobs. We want to fill the gap of so many people leaving the county to go to work, but rather, that people will see the value of living, training, working and playing in Hendricks County.”

In partnership with Plainfield School Corporation, Town of Plainfield, Hendricks College Network, Vincennes University, Ivy Tech, Work One

and Indiana Department of Homeland Security, the concept for a higher education facility, MADE, was born.

MADE, an acronym for Make your career, Achieve your dreams, Design your future with Education at Plainfield, is a nearly 100,000 square foot, two story building and offers classrooms, labs, office and meeting space for career and workforce development agencies.

In addition to offering general courses such as math, science, business and information technology, other courses geared toward technical training and trade education will focus on specific degrees and certificates to enhance both employer and employee needs.

“A lot of the warehouses in Plainfield are beginning to use technology in their production,” Singh said.

“We need people who can work on the mechanics and engineering of these robots

Senior Services Hosts Vision Loss Support Group

Hendricks County Senior Services is pleased to announce they will be hosting their monthly support group designed specifically for persons with Vision Loss and their caregivers. The next support group is Wednesday, July 14th at 1:30 PM. This month Bosma Enterprises will present on their programing, ‘navigating blindness’ with their In-Home Training program. Anyone is welcome to attend. No reservations are required to participate in the support groups and membership at the Senior Center is not required. All meetings are confidential, free of charge and open to all.

Dr. Keely Allen facilitates the group with her team from Danville Family Eye Care in Danville. After the meeting, Dr. Allen’s associates will be adjusting and cleaning glasses.

Dr. Keely Allen graduated with honors from Indiana University School of Optometry in 2006 and practices with a full scope of Optometry. She is trained in the diagnosis and management of nonsurgical, medical ocular conditions including diabetic eye exams, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Transportation is available through Senior Services at 317-718-4474. If you would like to join us for lunch, please call the Senior Center at least 24 hours in advance.

Suggested donation is $3.00 for seniors 60 years old or older and their spouses. To receive additional information on this support group, please contact Hendricks County Senior Services at 317-745-4303.

The Hendricks County Senior Center is located at 1201 Sycamore Lane in Danville.

and technological tools. It’s not so much that we’re losing jobs to technology, but just changing the needs to a different type of job.”

“Vincennes University is pleased that the MADE@Plainfield facility is designed specifically to continue the full range of training in transportation, distribution, and logistics that area students and businesses have come to rely on from us,” said David Tucker, Vice President of Workforce Development/ Community Services for Vincennes University. “As warehouse and distribution becomes more and more automated, VU is positioning itself to provide additional automation and robotics training at MADE@Plainfield, both for high school students and adults.”

The close proximity to Interstate 70 and Plainfield High School will allow opportunities for high school students as well as easy access for traveling college students.

“Ivy Tech Community College is excited to be a partner in this collaborative opportunity and look forward to expanding our academic offerings and enhancing pathways for workforce attainment and growth in Hendricks County,” said Kathleen Lee, chancellor of Ivy Tech Central Indiana in a recent press release.

In addition, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security holds public safety training for firefighters, law enforcement and others.

The Town hopes with the addition of MADE and first responder education, Plainfield can become a hub for those types of jobs as well.

With Ivy Tech and Vincennes already having a presence in the community, placing everyone under one roof made sense and though the building is in Plainfield, it’s important to the partners that the community understand that MADE is for everyone.

“We want it to be a regional draw and a county-wide asset,” Singh said.

“We want everyone to feel included and see this as a benefit for the entire county.”

Enrollment is currently open and classes begin in August.

Yoy can join the MADE celebration ribbon cutting at 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 29, at 1610 Reeves Road, just north of Plainfield High School. For more information, visit MADE@ Plainfield on Facebook or visit Ivy Tech Community College or Vincennes University for a list of courses.

DAR Hosts Open House To Distribute Gift Set

Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution will be hosting an Open House to distribute the Vietnam War veterans gift set on Wednesday, July 14th, at the Brownsburg American Legion Post #331, 636 East Main, Brownsburg from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The free gift includes the Indiana edition of a beautiful, archival-quality hardbound book, A Time to Honor: Stories of Service, Duty, and Sacrifice, filled with stories representing all states, all branches of service, paired with an expanded digital book and e-book with hundreds of additional pages of Indiana stories of Vietnam Vets and DVD documentary, The Journey Home.

This is being made available through a collaboration with the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) & Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans (WHVV) which established the Indiana Vietnam Veterans Gift as an outreach program to honor and give thanks to Indiana Veterans who served during the Vietnam War years of 1955-1975.

Rhonda Beck, who serves as both chapter chair and Indiana State Chair for DAR Service to Veterans, said Indiana DAR is happy to partner with IDVA and WHVV to assist in distribution of the gift sets to the Vietnam War Era veterans. Whether veterans have pre-registered or not, they are invited to stop by the Open House to receive their gift set. Any prior registration will be verified or the chapter can register them at that time.” Several Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter members will be on hand to assist.

Beck further noted the chapter will be contacting area senior assisted living and nursing facilities to work with the administrators and/or families to ensure their Vietnam War veteran residents receive the gift sets.

Several presumptive illnesses attributed to the Vietnam War are now recognized and approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Agencies who offer assistance and outreach programs to veterans will be on hand should the veteran like to visit with them with questions about the presumptive illnesses of any other questions they may have relating to services and benefits available to veterans.

The Gift of Gratitude will be an ongoing effort by IDVA and WHVV to distribute to the estimated 130,000 Vietnam Era Veterans living in Indiana. The Indiana Vietnam Vets FREE Gift will show gratitude & respect to Indiana veterans. It will also provide social awareness and historical value to multiple generations about the real accounts of the Vietnam War. All over the state of Indiana, the Vietnam Vets Gift and message will reinforce the idea that it is never too late to say “Thank You” and “Welcome Home.”

Hunting Maintenance During the Summer

By Mike E. Neilson

We welcome the voice of Mike Neilson, longtime Danville High School teacher and longtime hunting enthusiast. He’s shared his hunting experience in book form with Class Dismissed: I’m Going Hunting!

(2004); We’re Gonna Need More Arrows!: Hunting Adventurs Around the Country and Around the World (2009); and Pig Tails and Other Hunting Adventures (2014) Welcome to summer. And while most outdoor enthusiasts are thinking watersports and fishing, I am thinking about the fall hunting season. Now is the perfect time to check out all your hunting gear that was thrown in a closet, tote, garage, or basement, never to see the light of day until a week before opening day. Yep, I’m talking about clothes, stands, flashlights, firearms, bows and arrows, and especially boots.

The dogdays of summer are perfect for taking the bow out to the backyard or the range and fling a few arrows.

Check your bow strings, look for wear and tear, wax them and if needed, now is the time to replace them. Knock off the dust to your shooting style and keep that muscle memory strong. In July I start shooting broadheads at my targets. Not many, but enough to simulate a hunt. I like to think that the first shot in practice might be the only shot all day (or even all season), so I practice with purpose.

I will also pause a few minutes before taking another shot. And don’t forget to practice from an elevated stand if that’s your preferred method of hunting. Finally, and I can’t emphasize this enough for new shooters, practice on 3-D targets that simulate the game you are after. When the moment of truth arrives, you want to be as comfortable and as confident as possible.

The same idea holds true for gun hunters, whether that be muzzleloader, shotgun, rifle, or pistol. Practice does make perfect. At the very least, take the guns out of the safe and give them a good looking over and cleaning. (If you don’t have a gun safe, get one!) Muzzleloaders are notorious for being dirty and fouled. This also ensures you do not have a charge already in the barrel as well. Nobody wants to go afield hoping their sights or scope is still on from last season. Find a gun range or safe place and fire off a couple of rounds. Again, think about not only checking your sights for accuracy but also how you will shoot in the field. Practice shooting from shooting sticks, freehand or from a sitting position, from rails and yes, if you can, from an elevated position.

(Next week is part 2 of 4. It will break down a list of maintenance goals for your gear.) ______________________________________________

A Note From Bee Everywhere I look I see VBS banners. That’s a good way for children to spend part of their summers.

Churches do not limit participation in VBS activities to just members of their church. I haven’t been a VBS volunteer for about twelve years. I started volunteering at White Lick Presbyterian Church in Brownsburg some fifty plus years ago. Our neighbor Bruce Brown, the pastor invited us to come to VBS. His wife, I who was Catholic, and another neighbor who was Methodist volunteered to work in the kitchen.

VBS in those days was in the morning for two weeks because most of the mothers were stay-at-home. I even took my granddaughters some 25 years ago to White Lick.

By that time VBS was in the evening and probably only a week. Again I volunteered for kitchen duty.

My daughter had three sons. The youngest is now 17.

They lived in Jamestown and went to Jamestown Christian Church. When the youngest was about three the call went out for volunteers for the three-year-old group. So I upped again. This was rather a rowdy group. Even though there were only about six of them there were two of them we had to watch very closely because they would run away.

There was also a very sweet little girl who always wanted to hug me but she had head lice. It sounds strange but every evening before I went to VBS I put listerine in my hair.

I had read that lice do not like the smell of listerine. When I came home I put listerine in my hair for 30 minutes and then washed it out.

My volunteering days at VBS are over. I just donate money.

A Brush With Olympic Glory

Flexible Work Hours and Daily Choices Co-Captains of the 1936 Central Normal College basketball team, Edward “Jingles” Englehart (left) and Harlan “Cub” Wilson. ____________________________________________________

By Judy Pingel The 1936 Olympics. Berlin, Germany. Hitler’s Germany. What could be the connection with Danville, Indiana and Central Normal College?

The 1936 CNC basketball team was good. Very good.

They had an undefeated regular season against teams from schools like Franklin, Taylor University, Oakland City, Valparaiso, Hanover and Butler. Often the margin of victory was over 20 points (This, at a time when it was unusual for the final score to only be in the 20 point range, and a score of over 40 points was considered a “barn burner.”

Defense was the name of the game).

At that time, thee was no season-ending tourney like there is today. To be showcased for selection on the Olympic team, collage and AAU [Amateur Athletic Union] teams participated in Olympic Trials. Olympic athletes had to be amateurs, and that usually meant college players, but also included AAU teams. Those AAU teams would be considered “semi-pro” today. Large companies formed teams of their employees to compete. Often men were hired for their athletic abilities rather than their knowledge and skills. As long as they were an actual company employee, they were allowed to play on the company team.

Big companies, with thousands of employees fielded teams, often with players from across the country and not just “local boys.” Many of those team members never actually saw the inside of the factory or office building of the company that hired them, but hey were still considered “just regular employees.” They were following the rules OK, maybe bending them a little bit - but still classified as amateurs. Legal? Yes. Fair? Well, maybe - or maybe not.

The CNC team entered the Olympic Trials and advanced to the Midwest District Finals in Chicago after defeating the University of Cincinnati. Facing another Indiana team, Ball State, they doubled the score on the Muncie tea and moved on to play Northwestern University. It was a close game, but the Danville boys moved one step closer to the chance to represent the U.S. at the Olympics.

The final game at the district level (I believe that today, that would be considered the “Sweet Sixteen”) was against the Chicago team from De Paul University. The game was close throughout, but at the end, De Paul was ahead by 5 points and moved to the Regional Finals. No Olympics for the small town boys, but still a great season against many schools that are still in existence over 80 years later.

Of the dozen or so players who made the 1936 Olympic team that went on to win the gold medal at the Berlin Games, only one was a college player. The rest came from AAU teams sponsored by large companies. But the boys from CNC gave it a good shot, a huge accomplishment for small independent college team. ___________ Editor’s Note: Sewell Leitzman was Athletic Director of Central Normal College from 1931 to 1941.

A Free Solution to Relieve Traffic?

What is the long-term solution to traffic problems? We can’t keep building more lanes — that’s hardly a longterm solution. And although adding lanes increases capacity and makes the roadway more attractive, this attractiveness also brings back all those people who were avoiding it. There goes a good part of the added capacity…

At the risk of oversimplification, we need sustainable ways to transport large groups of people and we need to spread out the traffic. Or, as my uncle would say, “Lorem ipsum.”

This past year has shown solutions do in fact exist. The events of 2020 accelerated developments that otherwise would have taken years. Online meetings and working from home are suddenly accepted. Some employers offer flexible working hours to reduce rush hour traffic. Not everyone has to be in the office at the same time (especially you, Larry).

In 2020 we were forced to address the reason for the trip and reduce trips accordingly. This trend needs to continue...

And acknowledging that “space” for mobility is limited, how can the space be best distributed? Cars, trucks, delivery vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians all require space.

Even self-driving cars need space. They do, however, provide some relief. They have the ability to link up with adjacent self-driving vehicles forming a type of car train — following one another with just a few feet between them. They can also prevent accidents and take over parts of the journey allowing you to do something else — especially if you are stuck in traffic.

Self-driving cars also learn how traffic signals behave, are aware of traffic conditions, and choose the best route to get to your destination. Or, in my experience, may even suggest an alternate destination. Last Thursday for example, I thought I was supposed to go to work, but I guess I was actually supposed to go bowling. Oh well, I always wanted to go bowling (how did it know?).

In most areas, roadway capacity is only a problem for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening. So, how can we spread out the traffic? Well, it’s a lot cheaper than building new roads or adding lanes. As mentioned above, employers can offer flexible working hours.

And personally, simply choosing to shop and travel during “off-peak” hours. Repeat after me, “Lorem ipsum.” ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Did you watch the fireworks, Archy?”

I knew the squirrel was a fan of the Fourth of July, his ancestors being witnesses to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

“Yes,” he replied, “the trees provide an excellent view.

Quite impressive, albeit noisy. Still, it lacked the sublime noiseless display of the meteor shower of 1833, according to my several-great grandfather, who resided in one of the trees surrounding the court house at that time.”

I remembered one of The Republican’s ancestors, The Advertiser, published a letter in 1855 from a man who was an eye witness to what was considered one of the greatest astronomical spectacles in history. Scientists estimated there were 150,000 meteors, about 30 per second, at the peak of ths display.

Archy picked up his story.

“Grandfather was watching that man as he came outside of the inn on the northeast corner of the square and viewed the meteor shower. After a few minutes, you could hear people screaming and yelling that it was judgement day. Some stood shaking in the cold while others fell to their knees and prayed. Many thought the world was ending.”

Archy’s grandfather was in good company. Abraham Lincoln recalled that day during some of the darkest days of the Civil War, saying “Gentlemen, the world did not come to an end then, nor will the Union now.”

“Harriett Tubman saw it, too,” the squirrel added. “She said it showed her to always follow the Northern Star to freedom.”

I got that disorientling feeling I always feel when I become aware of where I am in the ocean of history.

“I wonder what those people in 1833 would think if they could see what their world looks like today?” I asked.

Archy thought a moment before answering.

“They would probably think it was the end of the world,” he said. ___________________________________________

Savor the Joys of Growing Salvia

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

For hummingbirds, salvia’s nectar is a treat. If you grow annual red salvia, you’ll have the treat of watching these tiny birds.

What is the plant that is blooming in hues of purple in the highway medians and in front of housing additions?

Can I add it to my garden?

Yes, you can!

It’s purple salvia. The tubular blooms attract lots of hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators!

Salvia love full sun and heat. Plant them once and they will return every year.

Blooming June to September, in late summer, they start to look unkept. Salvia blooms are popular Time for a light shearing: with pollinataors. simply cut those stems all the way down to the ground. Hey, they will still flower even if you don’t. But you’ll get more blooms and the plant looks better.

Salvias are very low maintenance, easy-to-grow and very deer resistant.

A Bark From the Past: Henry

[Editor’s Note: The Republican’s first four-footed correspondent was Henry. A mixed breed rescue dog, Henry would make observations about being a dog in a small town. The articles, which ran in 2006 - 2010, have been languishing in the computer’s memory and we thought a new audience might enjoy some canine commentary.]

I’ll never understand why people don’t take lessons in how to live from us animals. My humans seem to always be in a hurry.

They hurry to get ready to go to work in the morning.

Then, they hurry to fix supper when they get home.

On the weekends, they hurry to do stuff they didn’t get done during the week because they had to hurry to work.

They go outside once in a while, and they think they are slowing down. But they’re just hurrying in a different way. They take walks, but they walk too fast and they talk about what they have to do when they get home.

When my humans let me outside, the first thing I do is stand still and look and listen. Well, actually, the first thing I do is pee. But then, I stand still and look and listen.

We animals know how to watch for stuff. You have to stand still to watch for stuff. That way, other things around you will move. But if you’re moving, then they’ll stand still, and you won’t see them!

Yesterday, I saw a robin hunting for worms. They are so much fun to watch! They hop, hop, hop around the yard. When they see a worm moving, they cock their heads sideways! My human said that robins are listening for worms. But that’s not right! When dogs or humans

Annual Saliva I always plant an annual red salvia for my humming birds. It’s easy to grow too.

Do check to see if an insect is eating holes in leaves when you first plant it, some insecticide dust takes care of that. Only maintenance required is breaking off the spikes when they are bloomed out. Many more blooming spikes will appear!

Sadly, the frost will do it in.

Plant some! It is so much fun to see the humming birds take a sip of nectar.

Why does a hummingbird hum?

Because it doesn’t know the words! ______________________________________________ Got Questions?

or other animals listen for something, they turn their ears toward the sound. But birds don’t do that. It’s just that they can’t see straight ahead like we do. So when the robin turns his head toward the ground, he’s not listening for worms. He’s just watching real close with one eye. How much noise do humans think a worm makes?

And we animals know how to listen a lot better than humans do. When I went out yesterday, I heard a nuthatch bird. That’s my favorite bird to hear. It goes “wuk-wuk, wuk-wuk.” It sounds more like a tree toad than a bird!! I wonder if my human heard that?

And then, there’s the sleep thing. Humans don’t sleep nearly enough. If you watch us dogs and cats, we sleep a lot. That’s the natural thing to do. The problem is, humans have to work, so they can’t nap as much as they need to. I think every place humans work ought to have a long nap time at least twice a day. I bet that the humans would feel better and be happier. And they’d get just as much work done as they do now, when they’re tired and grumpy! And I bet it would be better work, too!

Don’t even talk to me about eating. Humans are so careful about the foods that they feed us. Then, they eat all the wrong stuff on their own! My humans went to the fair last night. When they got home, they smelled like poop and deep-fried everything! Can’t humans smell themselves? If they could, they wouldn’t be able to stand their own smell most of the time. They should at least roll in something!

Look, we dogs usually live at least fourteen or fifteen years. That’s over a hundred for humans. If humans lived more like us dogs, they’d live a lot longer! So, here it is, humans. Eat less, sleep more, and scratch your ear with your foot. That’s it! When are you going to smarten up?

Thought for the Day: Your dog won’t criticize you if you make a fool of yourself. He’ll just make a fool of himself, too!

This old-fashtioned popcorn wagon was a popular stop during Swap ‘n Shop days at Danville in the 1960’s and 70’s.

As of July 1, 2021, popcorn became the official Indiana State Snack. To mark this auspicious occasion, let’s take a look at popcorn’s popularity in Hendricks County.

Many stores carried ready-made popcorn balls among their holiday stock. In 1886, the East Side Grocery carried the ready-made treat with the Christmas goods that would “make the children leap for joy.’’

Popcorn was on the menu at many a party. At Chrissie Manning’s 6th birthday party in 1887, “The little folks enjoyed the music, cake, ice cream and popcorn immensely.”

Halloween was another time when popcorn balls were included. At Miss May Hadley’s Halloween party in 1898, one of the games was to see who could eat a ball of popcorn, dangling from a string, in the shortest time.

For New Year’s 1910, Mr. and Mrs. William Carrier presented the working force of the First National Bank with a popcorn cake.

The “Hello Girls” (telephone switchboard operators) received many treats from patrons for the holidays and other occasions. In March of 1912, Mrs. Mary Mitchell gave the girls popcorn balls, sent in appreciation of their work the night after the primary election.

A federal government bulletin published in 1913, was quoted contending a popcorn breakfast food “is more nutritious than a good many prepared breakfast foods on the market and much more economical.”

A recipe found in the Dec. 12, 1895 issue of The Republican gave instructions on making popcorn pudding: “Pop some corn nicely, then roll it as fine as you can.

Take a pint of the corn to a quart of sweet milk, add a small piece of butter, a teaspoonful of salt, beat 2 eggs with enough sugar to sweeten the milk; mix all together. Bake 20 minutes” Even restaurants include popcorn as a treat. In 1917, E.D. Crawley added a $600 popcorn and peanut roaster to his equipment.

Louise Creigh had a snack shop in the Hoosier Hotel building in 1938 that carried fresh home-made candy, Kitch’n Cook’d Potato Chips and French Fried Popcorn.

If you yearn for an old-fashioned treat, we leave you with Beulah Conn’s recipe for Pop-Corn Balls from Danville’s 800 Recipes, published in 1907: “One quart molasses, two cups granulated sugar; let boil fifteen minutes, then add butter size of an egg. When it crisps in water, add one teaspoon [baking] soda. Take from fire and stir into popcorn. Grease fingers and make into balls” _____________________________________________

Family Hits the Vandalia Trail, Discovers Fun

Exploring Hendricks County

By Jackie Horn

The trail is paved, flat, and very smooth. Our sevenyear-old granddaughter who has only just started riding a two-wheeler felt confident. The trail travels through the two towns, farm fields and crosses Crittenden Creek at about the midpoint.

The Vandalia Trail marker at the Amo trailhead features a map, with distances (1.3 miles to Crittenden Creek; 3 miles to the Coatesville trailhead; 7.5 miles to Fillmore; and 11.6 miles to Greencaste), a list of trail rules, and trail etiquette. An unpaved equestrian tral runs parallel to the paved pedestrian portion of the Vandalial tail.

The Trailhead at the Amo end of the Vandalia Trail offers restrooms, bicycle parking, and infomration. ___________________________________________________

Our daughter’s family, the Calls, came from Virginia to visit this past week. They’ll be here just over a month. John and I are so excited to introduce them to our new community. We’ve been bragging about all the parks and the trail system. She, her husband, and their three kids are avid bicyclers. (The youngest at three years old has it easy as he rides in a cart behind Mom on excursions.)

Our first adventure was this past Sunday. The weatherman was calling for rain later in the day so we thought we’d beat it by going biking in the morning. Loading bikes, carrier, and kids, we headed to Amo to try the Vandalia Trail.

It took two vehicles to haul everyone and their gear so the large parking area at the Amo terminus on Railroad Street was appreciated. We unloaded, mounted up, and headed west toward Coatesville.

Mature trees shade almost the entire route. It was hot and sunny but the leafy tunnel made it a pleasant ride.

The few road crossings were well marked and the busiest at Indiana 75 has a flashing caution light riders and hikers can activate. (While not required to stop, the traffic did and allowed us to cross.) Our band wasn’t the only one on the trail. While not crowded, we did meet a few other cyclists and joggers.

Arriving at the Coatesville station, we decided to go a bit further. We continued to the county line where the paved path ends and the trail becomes packed crushed limestone. After taking a few pictures to record our trek, we returned to our cars.

Back at Amo, the clean, modern restrooms were a blessing (potty training!) as was the WORKING drinking fountain. (With COVID restrictions, so many places have turned off their water fountains and since the temperature was in the 90’s, we were very thankful to be able to refill our bottles.) The entire trip was eight miles.

John and I loved this trail! We plan to ride it often because it was a lovely, easy ride. We’ve also heard the best pizza in the county can be had in Amo. We’re thinking of a Tuesday ride, pizza, and Amo Jam at the Community Building. Sounds like a great way to spend an evening. ______________________________________________ Jackie Horn and her husband, John, transplanted from Warsaw to Plainfield to be near family.

Simply Slabs Creates Furniture, Works of Art

Dan Althoff of Simply Slabs built his own sawmill and began creating custom furniture for sale.

By Melissa Gibson While most of us have sat at the same dining room table for ten years, Dan Althoff’s dining room table changes all the time. Sometimes, this is because he’s fallen in love with another custom made table he created himself, but more times than not, it’s sold out from under him and he replaces it with another.

Althoff began making wood furniture pieces many years ago, but at the time, the items were just going inside his own home.

“I built all kinds of stuff, like beds for my kids. Nothing to sell, but I thought it was great fun. Paying for all the wood got expensive,” Althoff said.

Not a man to give up easily, two years ago, Althoff built his first sawmill, and able to produce his own lumber, began building items others were interested in buying. His fiancée, Autumn, began helping with Facebook posts and other advertising and things took off quickly.

“I’m coming up on retirement in about 16 months and I need something to do. I don’t sit still very well so we started the business. We went to the Penrod Art Fair a couple of years ago and that went great and since then things have just been on a steady roll,” Althoff said.

If you’re looking for a box store furniture product, you won’t find it at Simply Slabs.

Althoff painstakingly cuts his own lumber through a saw mill he researched and built himself, cuts the wood into slabs, puts them into a kiln (he also built) for four to five weeks to dry before he can ever start the process.

“If you want it fast, I can do it fast, but I’d have to cut corners,” Althoff said. “I’m super picky about it. If it’s not right, it can’t leave.”

He has every hard wood found in Indiana, including walnut, hickory, ash, white and red oak and continues the process of cutting, drying and storing to ensure he has stock for the next project on the list.

In addition to the stocking process, he’s also built two additions on to his Pittsboro workshop to make more space for stock and building.

Finding the right wood is often time consuming and a treasure hunt of sorts and each piece is unique and carefully crafted.

“Anytime you have figured wood, where two branches come together, when you put the finish on it, it just explodes, it’s really impressive,” Althoff said. “I drive all over town to pick up logs. You’re always trying to find the one tree that will give you the most figured wood. I actually once had one in the shape of a cross.”

As requests come pouring in and he allows his creativity to roam, Althoff has made pieces combining concrete and wood and found an artist to add some “amazing” designs to the work. He’s also ventured into doing large cabinets and other pieces, but he leaves the smaller woodwork to others.

“I don’t do a lot of small projects. If it’s not heavy and hard to maneuver, I probably don’t do it. I’ve done it before, but this is really what I enjoy the most,” Althoff said.

Most popular at the moment is walnut dining tables, bar tops and counter tops, but that’s liable to change at any time. For a while, Althoff said he had several cedar orders, and went to Tennessee to pick up cedar logs. He wants to have slabs that no one else has in the nearby area.

Many items take 30 days to build and range from $1200 to $2500 depending on the wood and labor intensity. It may take four to eight weeks to receive the ordered item, but a small price to pay for a piece like none other.

He enjoys mixing and matching the pieces and arranging them in a way that put together, it’s a work of art and

Althoff stores every hardwood available in the state for a variety of projects.

While requested items include dining room tables, bar tops and counter tops, Althoff is also branching out to custom cabinets and more. ____________________________________________________

at times, regrets selling the table or bar that is particularly unique.

“I’ve had some tables I’ve sold that I wished I wouldn’t have; one walnut with lots and lots of figured wood.

They’re all kind of special, really. Just the wood itself, when you put the finish on it and step back. That’s just crazy that nature made that. All I do is cut, sand and put it together, but it’s crazy to see what mother nature does,” Althoff said.

As the business has progressed, Althoff has began mixing wood and concrete with different artwork, creating a unique piece.

By Stephanie Fox, Navy Office of Community Outreach A Brownsburg native is serving in the U.S. Navy assigned to Submarine Squadron Four, supporting the world’s most advanced nuclear-powered submarines.

Petty Officer 1st Class Brandon Kissel, a 2007 Covenant Christian High School graduate, joined the Navy nine years ago. Today, Kissel serves as a machinist’s mate.

“I was three and a half years into college when I decided to join the Navy,” said Kissel. “My parents always wanted me to be a teacher, and I was on the track to do that, but I realized my heart wasn’t in it. I wanted to find a new path that could help me mature, flourish and figure out what I actually wanted to do with my life. I thought, ‘What better place than the Navy?’ The rest is history.”

According to Kissel, the values required to succeed in the military are similar to those found in Brownsburg.

“I grew up in a very religious household in a very religious community,” said Kissel. “That placed a high focus on me caring for others and helping whenever help was needed. I’ve held onto those core values throughout my Navy career.”

Fast, maneuverable and technically advanced, submarines are some of the most versatile ships in the Navy, capable of silently conducting a variety of missions around the world. There are three basic types of submarines: fast attack submarines (SSN), ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and guided-missile submarines (SSGN).

Serving in the Navy means Kissel 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 vitally important for what we say, ‘helps people sleep good at night,’” said Kissel. “As a submarine force, specifically, we discuss strategic deterrence.

You think of all the submarines out at sea that most people don’t know about. They’re there in case of an outbreak of war. They’re a strategic deterrence to other nations who know we have a certain number of submarines on call and ready to go if needed. The focus of owning water space and preventing people from coming in and invading our shores is one of the biggest roles the Navy plays in national security.”

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 the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy.

As a member of the U.S. Navy, Kissel, 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.

“Serving in the Navy is an honor,” added Kissel. “You learn quickly how important your fellow sailors are because as soon as you join you realize that your personal goals come second to the needs of your crew. You instantly become a team and then family.” ______________________________________________

Beef and Boards is back with their summer family show, the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, The Sound of Music. The story of Maria, a nun who brings life back into a broken Austrian family during World War II has been a favorite over the years. In fact, Beef and Boards has presented The Sound of Music more than any other show in its 48year history.

The current production is on through August 15 and according to Doug Stark, owner of Beef and Boards, the story seems to resonate with all ages.

“It’s been the most requested show because it is multi-generational,” Stark said. “It’s good for grandparents, it’s good for their kids and it’s good for the grandkids.”

Eleven-year-old Isabella Gosnell, a middle school student at Brownsburg, will play Brigitta, one of the seven Von Trapp children for the 64-performance run.

She began taking the stage when a friend invited her to audition for The Biz Academy’s The Little Mermaid show.

“I was seven or so, and I was in the ensemble. It was really fun for me and now I’ve done 18 shows with the Biz and one with Butler University,” Gosnell said.

Isabella Gosnell will play Brigitta Von Trapp in Beef and Boards’, The Sound of Music this summer.

“This will be my first with Beef and Boards.”

Like most performers, she’s learned to deal with disappointments and working through hiccups on stage, (she calls those “the laughing moments”) but most of all, she’s has found a place to thrive where others might have given up.

“I have congenital heart disease and it affected what kind of activity I could do.

I couldn’t do basketball or soccer like other kids,” she said. “For the longest time, I thought it was a burden. I have this and I’m different and no one should know.”

Though Gosnell has had three open heart surgeries, she would dance into the cardiologist’s office and mom, Debra, said it was the doctor who suggested dancing would strengthen cardiac function. It was an activity that would improve

her health, and something she obviously enjoyed.

She’s been in dance class from age three and has taken voice lessons from the late Disney alum’s Jeff Salmon.

She also found her niche, among those enjoying the same experiences she does.

In the theater community, she’s made many new friends, and crossed paths with old friends as well.

Veteran Beef and Boards actor, Doug King is Gosnell’s tap dance instructor and for the first time, she gets to share the stage with him.

“It wasn’t until the fourth grade that I really started to let my scars show and I stopped hiding it,” Gosnell said. “It was hard to realize that I’m not lesser or weak. There’s probably so many children out there that have the same thing or anything else that think ‘I’m different and I’m weaker’ but it doesn’t make you weak, if anything, it makes you stronger.

“I want to do musical theater for the rest of my life,” she added. “I don’t see myself being anything else besides an actress. It’s become a part of my life and I just don’t think about anything else.”

Local & Social Davisson Children (left to right) - Tom Davisson, Kathy Cassity, Mary Babbs, Sue Teany, Paul Davisson

The weekend of June 26th and 27th was a very exciting time for the family of Oscar and Mary Kay Davisson.

On Saturday afternoon, several members of the family gathered in Indianapolis for a coed baby shower to honor Ashley and Jimmy Sutton of Washington, Pennsylvania as they get ready to welcome the newest member of the Davisson family.

That evening, Kathy and Elvin Ray Cassity hosted a meet-and-greet dinner in their home for those already in town for the weekend. After dinner, many from Florida enjoyed touring Putnam County to see the covered bridges.

On Sunday, Oscar and Mary Kay’s children, many of their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren met at the Ellis Park Train Station for the first Davisson Family Reunion. All enjoyed a wonderful meal, games, reminiscing about good times, looking at old pictures, getting reacquainted, and meeting the newest members of the family.

The Davisson children are Paul and Jan Davisson of Jupiter, Florida, Sue Teany (Bob passed away in 1987) of Clermont, Florida, Mary and Jeff Babbs of Indianapolis, Kathy and Elvin Ray Cassity of New Winchester, and Tom and Debbie Davisson of Mishawaka.

The younger generations and their families came to the reunion from Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

The Davisson Family moved to Danville in 1946 from Rensselaer. They resided on Jefferson Street originally and then spent many years on South Indiana Street. They were members of Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church. Oscar and Mary Kay were both teachers. They moved to Okeechobee, Florida in 1994. Mary Kay passed away in 1996 and Oscar in 2012. They are buried together in Okeechobee. ______________________________________________________________________

Have You Planned for Your Estate?

When it comes to estate planning, there are a variety of challenges. Luckily, there are also many reliable, time-tested planning approaches that are both effective and economical. The first and most central component is a will, but it is also important to separately consider assets that pass directly to named beneficiaries, such as retirement plans, jointly - owned property, or life insurance.

Estate planning is not just about what you pass on, but to whom—family members, friends and loved ones, and often meaningful charities. In fact, creating a charitable legacy can be a positive and integral part of estate planning.

Some assets pass through probate before they are distributed to heirs, while others bypass the court process and go directly to beneficiaries. Examples of assets that do not go through probate might include jointly - owned assets (your home or bank accounts), retirement plans, or life insurance that specify a beneficiary. A good estate plan coordinates the disposition of all assets.

A good step-by-step plan starts with clearly determining your objectives. Do you want to provide security for your spouse, leave money for your children or grandchildren, or leave a charitable legacy? The second step would be to make an inventory of your assets. Once you have these two steps complete, you can begin effective planning. An attorney or other professional advisor is recommended as the next step, since you will want to draft a will, but may also want to consider revocable or irrevocable trusts, lifetime gifts, and other ways to realize your goals.

Effective estate planning takes time and effort, but the rewards more than justify the costs. For more information, call the Community Foundation at 317-268-6240. ______________________________________________

SHARON WILSON (nee Wade), age 74, of Avon, passed away in the early morning of January 14, 2021 at St. Vincent hospital in Indianapolis. Her family surrounded her in love and prayer.

Sharon was a 1964 graduate of Washington High School and was a beloved mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, NaNa, great-grandmother, and dearest friend.

Sharon was skillfully employed by Eli Lilly before dedicating herself as a stay-at-home mom for many years. Sharon happily devoted herself for over 25 years at Purdue Extension-Hendricks County Fairgrounds.

Sharon spent her retired years enjoying being a grandma, great-grandma and endless hours serving her community. She enjoyed vacations, cooking for others, quilting, and of course her weekend casino trips. Sharon cherished her weekend “getaways” with her sister. Anyone meeting Sharon would also soon learn of her love for Disney, Mickey Mouse and her bright red 1966 SS396 Chevelle.

Sharon was a member of Avon Christian Church. She was an active volunteer for the Pittsboro Police Department and all of Hendricks County. She could always be found supplying all the needs of the Souperhero Cook Off, Project ANGEL, Hospital blankets, toy drives, and more. Sharon would be the first to help in any given situation for any family of the community.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Eileen (nee Dodd) and Robert Wade. She is survived by her daughters, Christi (Erica) Nichols-Patterson and Kim (Jon) Nething; grandchildren Taylor, Mikayla, Robert (Josey), Danielle, Allyson, Kimmie (Zach), and Eric; great grandchildren Gemma and Rylee; sister Joyce Smiley; brother Robert (Mary) Wade; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was officially a mother of two but she played a very special motherly role for many.

She cared deeply for her family, friends, neighbors, and of course animals. Sharon will be remembered for her unconditional love, her faith, tireless will to serve others, and her spunky humor to fill the world with smiles and laughter.

A celebration of life will be held July 11, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds/Cartlidge Barn. In lieu of flowers, Sharon asks that monetary donations be made in her memory for scholarship funds so she can continue to support the youth and the future of our environment. Donations can be sent directly to the Hendricks County 4-H Fair Association, PO Box 7, Danville IN 46122. ___________________________________________________ LAWRENCE E.

THOMAS O’BRIEN, 85 of Avon, passed away June 27, 2021. He was surrounded by his loving family at the time of his passing.

Tommy was a modern day Celtic storyteller serving as a lawyer. His love of a good story probably helped form his love for the law. He believed everyone deserved due process, and due process always began with a story.

Between college stints he served in the US Air Force as a firefighter supporting training missions in southern Indiana.

Tommy lived a second life as a landscaper and pond specialist. He eventually became a master gardener and helped create a private bird-filled retreat from the world.

Earlier in life he spent many a year as an Ebenezer Scrooge bah-humbugging his way through the holidays. However, one day he was asked to be Santa, so, fake beard and all he became Santa. This turned into a yearly labor of love. Over the years he developed a following from repeat families and friends.

Tommy was born as Thomas Joseph O’Brien in Indianapolis, son of Thomas R. O’Brien and Beatrice (Keller) O’Brien. His surviving siblings are Beann (O’Brien) deHebreard, John (Jack) O’Brien, and James E. (Jim) O’Brien. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren all will miss his love and mischievousness.
