Gibbs Park To Open

Hendricks County Parks & Recreation (HCP&R) invites the public to W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park in Avon for the park’s Grand Opening on Wednesday, July 21 at 9 a.m.

W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park is a 70-acre facility located within the town limits of Avon, although its official address is 4521 Gibbs Road in Danville. The Grand Opening ceremony will take place at the Bluegill Shelter near large two ponds totaling over 5 acres in size. It is free to attend, and the public is welcome to attend.

Beginning July 21, the park will be open from dawn to dusk daily, and admission is free of charge.

In addition to the two ponds, the park sports two large shelters, an 18-hole disc golf course, a nature-themed playground, a 30-foot-tall observation and sledding hill, more than two miles of trails, several picnic tables, green space, paved roadways and parking lots, and more.

A large ADA-accessible fishing dock will be installed on one of the two ponds later this summer, and the ponds will be stocked with fingerlings by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Fish & Wildlife later in the year, which will eventually allow anglers to fish the ponds and keep their catches while abiding by DNR rules and regulations.

The nature-themed playground has two sets of equipment – one designed for 2- to 5-year-olds and the other designed for 5- to 12-year-olds. A nature play area will be constructed in coming months behind the playground area.

Bluegill Shelter is 24 by 44 feet in size and sits on a concrete pad. An ADA-accessible concrete walkway leads from a paved ADA-accessible parking lot. The shelter includes picnic tables and a large mounted grill.

On the north side of the property in the middle of 20 acres of woods is the Firefly Shelter, a 20-by-36-foot pavilion on a concrete pad with an ADA-accessible concrete walkway from a paved parking lot. It includes picnic tables and a large mounted grill.

Both pavilions will be available for daily rentals beginning August 2.

Designed by Civil Engineering Consultants out of Greencastle and constructed by John Hall Construction out of Plainfield and HCP&R’s maintenance crew, W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park is opening almost exactly a year after its Groundbreaking Ceremony. HCP&R also worked closely with the Hendricks County Disc Golf Club to design and install the 18-hole disc golf course.

More information about W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park can be found at HendricksCountyParks.org. ______________________________________________

North Salem Firefighter/EMT Honored for 38 Years of Service

The North Salem Fire Department will be honoring and celebrating one of its members on Saturday, July 17, from 3 - 5 p.m..

Debbie Berry is ending a 38-year career of service and committment to the DEBBIE BERRY North Salem Fire Rescue Department as she retires from her role as an EMT.

Debbie is truly a hero in the eyes of Fire Department members and of the North Salem / Eel River Township ommunity.

The fire department will be honoring Debbie at the public open house and welcomes individuals to come and share stories or well wishes for her. There will be several presentations of certificates from various organizations whom the fire department is associated with.

Queen Becca

On the way to her dream of becoming a large animal veterinarian, 17-year-old Becca VanSlyke is taking a detour to serve as Queen of the 2021 Hendricks County 4-H Fair.

The blonde, green-eyed daughter of of Brian and Beth VanSlyke of Eel River Township and younger sister of Brayden was selected by the panel of judges from 22 contestents last Saturday night.

With the afternoon spent modeling business attire and inteviews with the judges, the contestants got to show off their gowns Saturday evening. The judges narrowed the field down to 10 finalists: Karin Johnson, Becca VanSlyke, Kyra Clark, Emma Hooten, Elly Roessler, Ellie Trout, Lily Kuhlmeyer, Emma Gregory, Amanda Fulcher, and Ellen Henry.

The Top Ten answered impromptu questions before the judged retired to make their final decision.

Before selecting the Queen and Court, two awards were given. The Carol Hitch Memorial Award, given by the Queen Contest Committe, went to Rylea Pedigo. The Title of Miss Congeniality, voted on by the Contestants, went to Karmin Franklin.

The title of Runner Up went to Lily Kuhlmeyer.

The members of the Queen’s Court were Amanda Fancher, Emma Gregory, and Elly Roessler.

Queen Becca and the Court Members will be busy during Fair Week, July 18-24, attending events, handing out ribbons, and conducting their own 4-H projects.

Becca will be a senior at Tri-West High School this fall, where she has been a member of Student Council, National Honor Society and played Basketball, Volleyball, and Beach Volleyball.

Entering her 9th year in 4-H, Becca has been involved in beef, sheep, and goats since she began. She’s had projects in Our Environment, Little Critters, Vet Science, Wildlife, 2020 4-H Fair Queen Kyla Weather since she started and Health & Safety for 4 years, Smith transferred her crown to and a year in Sports.

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: Memories some consider acute often are fogged by time’s distance. Only through checking did I discover such was the case in March 1888 when “Uncle” Billy Baugh recalled the first run of the Vandalia train from Indianapolis to Terre Haute.

Billy told a Terre Haute reporter the debut was March 4, 1852. Naturally, since the Vandalia, then called the Terre Haute & Indianapolis, ran through Hendricks County, I searched the papers for accounts of that day.

I learned Billy was wrong. The trains were running by February that year; the final rail had been laid by mid-month and an entire train of cars promptly passed over the span February 16.

Newspaper accounts reveal roughly a mile of track was laid each day as completion neared.

One subsequent report declared the tracks were “in a wretched condition,” but the line daily carried 200 passengers east and west.

Billy claimed the first train of one coach and 10 box cars left Indianapolis at 7 a.m. with him at the throttle of “Henry Clay,” and crewed with a fireman and conductor.

At Coatesville, a car loaded with poultry was added. At Staunton, a coal car was coupled in front of the locomotive.

The train arrived in Terre Haute at 4 p.m. – a nine-hour trip. Seems slow, even for those times.

TH&I owned nine other engines, drably called Vigo, Terre Haute, Hendricks, Indianapolis, Putnam, Marion, Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio. Any nicknames were not recalled.

Train speeds increased substantially over time. Vandalia Passenger No. 20 made the three-mile trip between Coatesville and Amo in “exactly” two minutes, 30 seconds, in June 1888. The “flying run” between Terre Haute and Indianapolis, 73 miles, consumed an hour and 45 minutes.

I wonder whether that first TH&I coach car was as “elegant and commodious” as one made in February 1852 for the Terre Haute & Richmond line.

Joseph Farnsworth and William Vincent Clough’s new Southwest Car Shop in Madison had built a car “with the especial design of attaining the greatest perfection in both material and construction.” It was “unsurpassed” in both “appearance and style of finish.”

Everyone says that, then and now.

The car had 15 India rubber spring supports and its design of “free, lateral swinging motion” resulted in “obviating the unpleasant jar” of other coaches.

One man had painted and gilded the coach while another had completed graining and eight landscapes.

Stage-delivered mail delays arose in April that year. Sending mail by the TH&I was far faster, allowing correspondence arriving in Terre Haute in the afternoon to receive responses that evening.

The article failed to clarify why the stage line was still carrying the mail.

Maps from 1865 reveal to some degree what Hendricks County towns on the rail line were like 13 years afterward.

Amo was largely built on the north side of the rail line. North to south, the town had North, Sycamore, Main and Railroad Streets. West to east were Vine, Pearl and Walnut.

M.G. Parker at the northeast corner of Main and Walnut, was town physician and surgeon, although he later relocated to Danville.

B.F. Scherer’s Amo Mills was just east of the depot.

Cartersburg was much larger, at least on paper, as almost 200 building sites were platted on both sides of the rail line.

Forty-nine sites were shown at Cincinnatus. Clayton had its own siding, where the express office and A.S. Wills’ woolen factory were found.

Coatesville was still called West Milton in 1865; it was mostly north of the tracks. A water tank was just east of town. A hotel was found then and even some 20 years later just west of where the siding split from the tracks.

Pecksburg was evenly split by the line, with the Lutheran church on the north and the school on the south. Two county roads intersected just south of the tracks.

Plainfield was almost entirely south of the tracks, with a steam planing mill and furniture factory just west of the depot.

The tracks crossed the Plank Road at Six Points east of Plainfield.

Anyone with a particularly ponderous bent can visit the county website’s on-line archives (scroll to “maps”) and pore over five 1916 Vandalia Railroad maps as the line wends through our territory.

Annual Car Show Is Part of Coatesville Downtown Revitalization Board’s Effort In 2019, the revitalization committee also transformed the old 1930’s gas station in the center of town, making it reflect a 1950’s Standard gas station. Both are focal points of the town and offer unique picture opportunities.

Live music by 5 Minutes 2 Wapner will play throughout the afternoon and the town will have the grill going with pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs and more. Restaurants in the center of town will also be open for the festivities.

Submitted photo Those that win the top 50 coveted trophy will receive one of these unique handmade collectors items.

By Melissa Gibson If you haven’t attended the annual Coatesville Car Show, the unique event is a sight to see, loaded with education, artistry and family fun.

The ninth annual event is open to all years, makes and models of cars, trucks, motorcycles and tractors, making the selection an eclectic array ranging from classic cars to Monster Trucks.

Steve Schultz is coordinator for the event and the president of the Coatesville Downtown Revitalization Board.

“We just completed the International Harvester Dealership building which will be a big draw for tractors this year. So far, we have 20 coming and I believe a couple of them were bought back when the building was a dealership and farm supply company,” Schultz said.

Restored Buildings Bring Unique Charm to Downtown Coatesville

The top car of the show receives a little something special in terms of trophy awards. ____________________________________________________

“We have a new game this year, Dart Board Poker,” Schultz said. “There’s also a puzzle game and a raffle for a few items I think the families will enjoy, like a motorized offroad vehicle for children and a nice, custom-made watch for car enthusiasts.”

The annual custom-made trophies are perhaps the biggest draw for car collectors. Schultz personally hand crafts a different wooden trophy each year and the show has grown so much, he’s now making 50 top awards instead of the 30 in past years.

Awards go to first and second place for Best Car, Best Truck, Best Bike, Best Tractor and favorites of the hometown leaders: Police Chief Pick and Pastor’s Pick among others.

“This year, we have an American flag design on our wooden trophies. I think that’s why the guys like to come out. We’ll also unveil the trophy for our 10th anniversary next year. Those are going to be something else, probably valued at $100 apiece and we’ll make 50 of those for 2022 as well,” Schultz said. t’s a fun family day with kids’ games, photo ops and a little education as well. Many haven’t seen the classic cars of the 40’s, 50’s or 60’s or tractors purchased decades ago but the owners of those pieces of art are typically more than happy to share their story or allow someone to sit in the vehicle and imagine themselves as the operator.

For those that attend each year, the event becomes a reunion of sorts.

“It’s a good place to meet with other car enthusiasts,” Schulz said. “We have people coming in from IL, OH and all over the state. Some of these guys only see each other once or twice a year, so it’s like getting together with old friends, visiting and talking and folks really enjoy being out here.”

The Coatesville Car Show will be 10 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. with the awards presentation at 1:45 on Saturday, July 17.

There is a rain date set for July 24 in the event of inclement weather. Registration is $25 and begins at 8 a.m. If you would like to participate and have not registered, walk-ins are welcome.

They had live music, swimming pool for those wanting to get wet!, bounce houses and slide, kiddie train ride,and more. His and Hers restrooms, parking in their yard, and more food and drinks than you can imagine - even cotton candy machine operated by sweet young girl. There was no food missing, hams, hot dogs, grilled hamburgers, shrimp, all types of salads, chips, dips, a table full of desserts and all that and more. Drinks, candy, treats for children of all ages, followed by a large display of fireworks.

How can we ever thank them enough for their hospitality to one and all.

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)

Part II

Clothes. Did you gain or lose weight? Let’s just say you hit a growth spurt and leave it at that. Did you put a hole in your waders and forget to patch them? Be painfully honest with yourself, if things are worn out or do not fit, now is the time to replace them before the season starts. Last winter or early spring was the best time, but now is far, far better than a week before the season opens.

If you are a scent-free fanatic, you are probably already doing this, but most folks are a bit less sensitive to scent management. Take the time to air out your hunting duds on a clothesline or fence. You would be amazed how musty-smelling clothes can get in a basement, so do yourself a favor and air them out at least once this summer.

Boots. If you have leather boots, summer is a great time to waterproof them again. I’m old school so I like mink oil or a synthetic substitute. Not only do you have time now, but the heat also helps the oil to penetrate the leather giving you better performance. You might be surprised just how beat up the boots got during the season.

You might also need to replace laces. Better to do this now than in the field, especially if you do not carry spares.

Rubber boots can and will develop a leak at some point.

Maybe you poked them on a stick or barbwire, but there’s a hole and it’s no fun finding it when you are taking on water. Dry rot can develop in gear not often used and the summer gives you an opportunity to replace or repair the damaged footwear before season approaches.

Hunting gear. Batteries are cheap, walking in the woods with a dead flashlight or headlamp is no fun and potentially dangerous. Replace your batteries even if they are not dead. Keeping a fresh set in your pack never hurts either. Years ago, I picked up a bit of advice from author Craig Boddington. He had a small flashlight around his neck on a short lanyard. No matter where he went, if it got dark, he had a light source with him. I have adopted that habit when I go out on hunts. I’ve only had to use it in a couple of instances but was very happy I had it when I did need a light.

(Next week Mr. Neilson will talk about maintenance of additional gear) ______________________________________________

A Note From Bee I had never written much before I took Mary Sue Best’s writing classes. She had been a college professor. She chose to teach several classes at Oasis senior citizen center in Speedway.

My original thought was to write stories along with my genealogy research. We did not have many stories to go with my family genealogy. As with so many people, we did not think to ask family members questions about where they came from, how they got to America, etc. We had to research census records, newspaper records, and baptismal records to name only a few. Dates are important but stories are so much better.

The first day of class Mary Sue asked, “Why are you writing your memoirs?” The majority of us said we want our families to know these stories. In my case my sister, a few cousins and I are the only ones left in our family. If we don’t write the stories, they will be lost.

My grandfather Ed and his two brothers lost their mother when they were very young. Their father took them to live with Uncle Edward and Aunt Sophie who had eight children of their own. This poor woman had a lot to cope with. To add to her stress, her husband didn’t work and drank. His five brothers also drank at his house. Their father had left them a great deal of money and they drank and didn’t work until all the money was gone.

Fast forward several years, Ed married Marie. Ed particularly liked Aunt Sophie’s gravy. Marie tried over and over again to make gravy like Aunt Sophie. One day she burned it. When Ed tasted it he was ecstatic. “Marie, that is just like Aunt Sophie’s!”

Poor Aunt Sophie probably burned most of the food.

She had 17 people to feed at least two meals a day.

As Paul Harvey would have said, “And that is the rest of the story.”

Your Mental Health

By Chase Cotton The Willow Center 317-852-3690

The Ugly Reality of Stigma Against Mental Health and Addiction Imagine this scenario: you have a cold and it’s time to go to the doctor. As you pull in, you notice folks in the lot across the road from the office leering at you as you step out of the car. The looks of silent judgment are like daggers. How would you feel in this moment?

Most of us would feel awful! It’s not your fault you had a cold, right? And what’s the big deal with colds anyways?

Why are you being judged for getting the help you need for having a cold? Replace the word “cold” with “addiction” or “mental health problem” and the reality of this scenario sets in.

People who are affected by addiction or mental health problems face a steady stream of stigma towards their suffering, even when they are attempting to get the help they need. Stigma, as defined by Webster’s dictionary, is “a mark of shame or discredit” often perpetuated by other people who do not fully understand what one is going through.

In our society, stigma primarily shows up in three ways: our body language, our words, and our media. Let me give you some examples.

• Our Body Language – Think back to the last opportunity you had to visit downtown Indianapolis. It’s no surprise that the population of folks without a home is much greater in downtown Indy than in the suburbs, so likely you have had the chance to interact. Many folks who are without a home are subjected to traumas that can affect their mental health, which may result in behaviors that are hard to understand. Do you think they don’t notice when you avoid making eye contact? Do you think it doesn’t hurt them when you quickly walk past without acknowledging their existence? This is stigma.

• Our Words – Let’s face it, we have a tendency to be flippant with our words sometimes, especially when we are hoping for a laugh. When telling a funny story, we describe a particular friend as “crazy,” or we say things like “she is so OCD about everything.” When talking about our distant family member with addiction, we call them a “junkie” or “druggie.” When recalling fears, sometimes we say, “I swear (fill in the blank) gave me PTSD.” Do you think your friend who actually suffers from PTSD feels supported when you say this? Do you think your loved one who is in long term recovery appreciates being labeled by their hardship? This is stigma.

• Our Media – How many horror movies have you seen that are set in “insane asylums”? How many headlines are written in the news about folks with a substance use disorder overdosing and dying with little regard to their full personhood and story? How many times are people with depression or anxiety written off as jokes or as unfortunate colleagues in TV shows? This is stigma.

Stigma is everywhere, and it isolates those of us who may be at a low point in our lives and need help. Instead of turning a blind eye to stigma, I encourage you to think before you avoid someone, think before you speak, and think before you partake. We each have a small but meaningful role to play in ending stigma and opening the door for anyone and everyone in need of getting the services they deserve. ______________________________________________

The Solomon Curve Go With The Flow In the late 1950s, the Federal Highway Administration performed an exhaustive survey of traffic accidents relative to speed. Their chief researcher, David Solomon, concluded that slow driving is every bit as dangerous as fast driving.

The study covered accidents involving 10,000 drivers and interviews with 300,000 motorists. The roadways studied had posted speed limits between 55 and 70 mph.

Solomon discovered the simple slogan to “slow down” was not the key to reducing accidents. And, in fact, could actually be counterproductive. Within the limits of the study it was discovered that low-speed drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents than high-speed drivers.

However, at high speeds, approaching 80 mph, the difference disappears.

It became clear that regardless of the average speed, the greater the driver’s variation (slower or faster), the greater the chance of being involved in an accident. The lowest accident rate occurred at the average speed or just slightly above it. Granted, the consequences of a high-speed accident were found to be more severe, with injury rates soaring at speeds exceeding 70 MPH. The research resulted in what has come to be known as The Solomon Curve. It represents the collision rate of automobiles as a function of their speed compared to the average vehicle speed on the same road. I should mention these findings do not necessarily agree with those produced by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. But, as a fan of the movie Elf, “I just try to go with the flow.”

Or, “I gotta get out of the flow.” Either option seems safe. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy I had never seen such a tiny megaphone, let alone one being used by a squirrel.

“The Squirrel Salon has a debate next week and I’m in charge of the cheer squad,” Archy said.

I wasn’t surprised to hear about the debate, but had no idea the teams had cheerleaders.

“Normally, we don’t do cheers,” the squirrel explained, “but we will be competing with the North Salem Know-ItAlls and figured it would lessen the tension.”

I asked Archy how one composes such cheers.

“Not as easy as you might think,” he said. “It’s a careful balance between esoteric prose and low humor. Something for everyone, you might say.”

“How about an example?,” I asked.

“Here’s a basic one,” the squirrel said: “Roberts Rules Your Team Drools” I had to agree that was an interesting combination.

“Here’s another highbrow/lowbrow cheer,” Archy said.

“Codified...Unified...Your Shoe’s Untied....MADE YOU LOOK!” I felt like I was standing in a squirrel school playground at recess.

“We sometimes borrow from human high school cheer chants,” he continued. “Here’s a classic: 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - Don’t be a such a Reprobate - Whoops! Too Late.”

He picked up his megaphone and fired off another: You may be good at arguments, You may be good at facts, But when it comes to disputation, You’d better watch your backs!

I started to wonder if I could get tickets to the debate and what to wear.

“Of course, we throw in some Latin,” the squirrel continued. “Here’s one I put together: Ipso facto, ergo sum - You’re All Losers, Thus, We Won!” I was gaining a new appreciation for the breadth of Archy’s wit.

“This is one of my favorites,” the squirrel said with a smile, “Arcane, yet subtle: Loris ipsum, We Declare: Your Argument is Much Too Spare.”

I imagined canceling the High School Cheerleading contest at the Fair and have a squirrel debate instead.

“Archy, have you ever considered debating with humans?” I asked.

He put down the megaphone and patted my hand.

“Your people wouldn’t have a chance,” he said. “It would be like debating fish in a barrel.” ______________________________________________ It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.

Cucumber Time is Here! Keep ‘em Coming!

by the generous donation of money to good causes.

We talked last summer about the types of cucumber plants: vining cucumbers and bush cucumbers.

Vining cucumbers grow fast on vigorous vines. They grow best when trained up a trellis or fence. Off the ground, they will be cleaner—often more prolific, and easier to pick. Research proves when the vines receive better air circulation and more sunlight the vines produce better.

Set up trellises, fence or other supports early on to avoid damage to seedlings and vines.

Bush cucumbers good for containers and small gardens They have very short vines, only 1-2 feet long.

Remember the main requirement is water --- consistent watering—water slowly in morning, keep foliage dry.

Mulch to hold in soil moisture.

HINT: I mark where root comes out of ground, so I know where to put water not on the vines themselves.

Hand pollinate: if you do not have insects to do the job The female flower will have a small fruit at the base of her stem. Using fresh male flower, roll the yellow pollen onto the stigma in the center of the female flower. Pollen is sticky. Some folks use a Q-tip or small paint brush to transfer pollen.

Can you spot the spotted cucumber beetle?

Cucumber Beetles may attack the vines and can cause disease.

There are two forms of cucumber beetle – one sporting a dozen black spots and one striped. The Striped Cucumber Beetle. spotted cucumber beetle feeds on cucumbers, potatoes, beets tomatoes and cabbage. You may even find them feasting on your roses and dahlias The beetles transmit diseases -- mosaic and bacterial wilts.

Bacterial wilt causes leaves to yellow and brown at the margins, completely wither and die.

Mosaic virus leaves are mottled with yellow, white, and light or dark green spots and streaks (in other words, a “mosaic” of the colors). Once plants are infected, there is no cure for mosaic viruses. (Throw plant in trash can!!)

Control: Look for varieties that are resistant to these pests Cover young plants with floating row covers.

Knock, shake, or hand pick beetles off plants and out of flowers Use an insect sticky lure—works for a lot of the bad bugs Sticky lures get a lot of the But if you must use bad bugs. poison - Dust plants with insecticides containing pyrethrum.

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.]

(This week’s column is from 15 years ago, in 2006, when the Fairgrounds at 1900 E. Main first opened.)

Dogs smell a lot better than humans do.

What I mean is, my sense of smell is about a million times better than yours – no kidding! And some really smart humans who study dogs believe that it may be at least ten times better than that.

This is because my great-great-lots-o-greatsgrandfather was a wolf and he hunted mostly by smell. So, it was a big advantage for him to have a keen schnozz! But the prey animals also had good noses, so he would roll on a Very Dead Thing to cover his own scent. (This is the same reason that some human males douse themselves with Old Spice or Lagerfeld – only the prey has changed!)

The new Hendricks County Fairgrounds is open and I can hardly wait to get out there! My nose is twitching!

I can’t wait for the new construction smells, the animal smells and the greasy deep-fried food smells.

The old fairgrounds had been used for so long that too many smells are imbedded in the grounds and buildings.

Humans can’t smell them, but I can smell the old fairgrounds from my house when the wind is right! So, I’m eagerly awaiting Fair Week to get a good whiff of the new facility! Maybe I’ll see you there! ______________________________________________

philanthropy fəˈlanTHrəpē

...the desire to promote the welfare of others, especially

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

It is fresh cucumber time for you. Darn--the rabbits ate the my plants.

Page A-7

Did you know Brownsburg was once the cucumber capitol of Hendricks County? At least the vicinity furnished most of the cucumbers used in Indianapolis. In 1894, over 100 acres were planted in cucumbers and the farmer could realize an average of $100 per acre.

While a large percentage of the cucumbers grown for family use would be preserved as pickles, most cooks made the most of them as a cooling salad during the hot months when they’re most abundant.

Here are three recipes from Danville’s Eight Hundred Recipes (1907), plus another (non-food) use for cucumbers.

______________________________________________ Joining Voices for a new series is Liza L. Taylor, who will be exploring the importance of philanthropy in a community.

Liza holds a master’s degree in philanthropy and a graduate certificate in nonprofit management, both from IUPUI. She has taught philanthropy at the university level and provided consulting services to Hoosier nonprofit leaders.

Her personal philanthropic endeavors include serving as a member of the Hendricks County Crisis Response Team and on the board of the Hendricks County Trauma Resource Center. She and her family have been involved over the past two decades in providing housing, medical care, and education for people in Mexico, Haiti, and Colombia. She has over 700 hours of service to US veterans and their families.

She and her family have made Hendricks County home for over 30 years.

Philanthropy, What is It?

By Liza A. Taylor Gifts… ponder for a moment and remember a special gift you have received. It may be a treasured heirloom such as your grandmother’s wedding ring or quilt that allows you to keep her memory close at heart. Perhaps it was a shiny new bike given for your 9th birthday that opened up a whole new world of discovery for you. Maybe it was a whispered prayer from someone you loved as you struggled through a scary health challenge. Each of these memories represents a gift.

Whether gifts are formal or informal, they represent the value we humans place on the simple act of giving. Giving in a more formal sense is known as philanthropy, yet this kind of giving is quite similar to the more casual giving mentioned above. In each instance, one person or party invests their time, talent, or treasure for the betterment of another. Giving is one of the oldest and most common human endeavors. It is also one of the most enriching, both to the giver and the receiver.

Just as in the paragraph above, you considered receiving a gift, this time consider a time when you gave a meaningful gift. Perhaps it was a puppy or kitten for your child that provided love and companionship for all of you for years. Maybe you helped raise money for cancer research in honor of your best friend or served as a candy striper at a local hospital. Or, perhaps you volunteer at your church to pass along cherished values. With each given gift, bonds are built and strengthened. The capacity to give is one of life’s most precious gifts.

Philanthropy, even though often considered more “formal” giving, is broadly defined as voluntary action for the public good (Robert Payton). It is far more than just rich people giving money away. It also includes the people and activities involved with little league, fraternal organizations, theatre houses, knitting clubs, Veterans’ groups, nature preserves, animal shelters, addiction recovery, and selling Scout cookies or popcorn. Each of these involves giving and receiving. These activities enrich our lives in immeasurable ways.

Teddy Roosevelt made famous a little-known quote: “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

Each of us give and each of us are enriched by the gifts of others. Today we celebrate you for all of the philanthropic acts you perform, from monetary gifts to holding a door open for a stranger. Each gift matters, always. Today we celebrate philanthropy for all it does for us and our community! ______________________________________________

STUFFED CUCUMBER SALAD – Pare cucumbers and cut lengthwise into two parts. Remove seeds and let stand in ice-water. Chop together the solid part of peeled tomato, one-half slice of onion, stalk of celery and sprig of parsley. Mix with French dressing or mayonnaise and fill the halves of cucumbers. Serve on cress or lettuce. Tressie Ader CUCUMBER SALAD – Two large cucumbers, four cold boiled potatoes, two onions, chopped fine; season with salt and pepper, and pour over it one cup of sour cream. – Kate N. Moore.

CREAMED CUCUMBERS – Slice very thin six cucumbers, add one tablespoon salt. Let stand about half and hour; then wash the salt off and drain well; add salt, pepper, Tarragon vinegar and pure olive oil to taste; mix well and at last add one-half cup cream with a dash of paprika.

If desired, also add Spanish onion and parsley chopped fine. – Mrs. Sterling R. Holt.

CUCUMBER LOTION – One pint ripe cucumber juice, juice of four lemons, two ounces glycerine, one ounce alcohol. Good for sunburn and tan. Excellent hand wash.

– Mrs. James E. Thompson.

There are two methods I remember my mother used for cucumbers when I was a child.

One was cucumbers and onions sliced into equal parts vinegar, sugar and water mixed together. The other (and my favorite) way was fried cucumbers. They were sliced lengthwise, about 1/4 in. thick, dipped in beaten egg, then flour, and fried in lard.

Do you have any favorite ways to incorporate cucumbers into your meals? Send them to betty@TheRepublicanNewspaper.com.

If you have to say or do something controversial, aim so that people will hate that they love it and not love that they hate it.”

Exploring Hendricks County

MASTERING THE HOUSE Tim Paino

By Jackie Horn

Owner/Inspector Heartland HouseMaster

Exploring tide pools at Olympic National Park in Washington State. ___________________________________________________

John and I are a great team. He likes to drive and I enjoy just riding along. We’ve been at it now for 44 years.

When our two children were young, every year we’d pack them up and go on a family vacation. Two or three weeks driving across the country, visiting national parks, and exploring this amazing land. They must have good memories of these road trips because now that our grown children have families of their own, they want their children to experience “family vacation”. The astounding thing is, they ask us to join them!

For the past month or so we’ve been on the road, first with our son and his family, then our daughter’s.

While our son’s family had to wait for school let out for summer, John and I were free to leave anytime. Pulling out from Plainfield on a Tuesday, we had no firm destination in mind. We just needed to hook up with the family on Sunday at Mesa Verde in Colorado.

Knowing the road we were taking, I checked out the website, RoadsideAmerica.com. It’s a map, listing, and description of silly and obscure roadside attractions, things like “The World’s Largest Czech Egg” in Wilson Kansas, or “Iowa’s Largest Frying One of the sights along the Pan” in Brandon (NOTE: way: World’s largest Czech Not the World’s Largest. Egg, Wilson, Kansas.

It’s in Delaware.)

The ________________________ stops make for fun photos and break up the long drive (and there’s usually an ice cream stand or bakery nearby.)

John and I have a National Park Passport. When visiting a national park, we “cancel” our passport with a date stamp provided at the visitors’ center. We knocked off several as we made our way through Colorado including Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site (NHS), Bent’s Old Fort NHS and the Great Sand Dunes National Park (NP), Curecanti National Recreation Area (NRA), Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP, Colorado National Monument (NM), and Yucca House NM. Besides checking off the sites in our Passport, we found places we want to return and explore. Two such places were the Great Sand Dunes (We arrived late in the day and were too tired to trudge much further than the area just inside the entrance) and Black Canyon of the Gunnison. (This rugged but beautiful park features several hiking/climbing trails and a dark sky perfect for stargazing.)

Number 1: While not a national park, the hands-down favorite activity of all the participants was whale watching.

This was a 4-hour excursion trip out of Port Townsend, WA. We saw Orcas and Minke whales. It was amazing to be so close to such giant beasts.

Number 2: Canyonlands NP and Capitol Reef NP. These two parks are tied for second place. While the terrain and geography are similar to Arches NP, the troops pick these parks because they loved the hiking and rock climbing opportunities without the crowds. We hiked to arches, an upheaval dome, and along a dry river bed.

Number 3: Olympic NP. The kids loved this park because of the diversity. We investigated tide pools, hiked to waterfalls in a rain forest, and enjoyed the cooler temperatures.

John and I returned home to celebrate Father’s Day, do laundry, and meet up with our daughter’s family from Virginia. And we were off again.

On the bulletin board next to my desk there is a quote that guides me. I wish I had recorded the author to give them credit, but it states: “Nothing improves with Neglect.”

Coming from a long line of preachers, I must say, them words can preach. They could apply to relationships, knowledge, possessions and especially our homes. Daily we flip the switch to the garbage disposal and depend on it magically flushing the kitchen garbage away. We never give it a second thought that there are some actions we can take to help improve this operation and make it last longer.

Here are some helpful hints for the garbage disposal: 1. Don’t put the wrong objects down your disposal.

The disposal is designed to grind food scraps and nothing more. Avoid bones, fruit pits, grease, fat, oil, glass, plastic, and food that expands such as spaghetti or rice. Potato peelings form a starch paste, banana peels are stringy and both coffee grounds and eggshells create very tiny granular waste that will stick to sludge and create a clog. Direct any of these items to the trash, not the disposal.

2. Break up large objects before grinding them. Give your unit a helping hand.

3. Use cold water when running your disposal. This helps keep any grease or oil from liquefying and clinging to the blades.

4. Keep your disposal clean. If you ever get an odor from the disposal drain, this is going to help.

a. First remove the rubber splash guard. Avoid

putting your hand in the disposal and pull it out

using some tongs. Do a deep clean to the guard.

b. Put ½ cup of baking soda in the disposal.

c. Now pour 1 cup of vinegar into the disposal

allowing it to fizz for 2 to 3 minutes.

d. Rinse the baking soda and vinegar down the

drain with 6 cups of boiling water.

e. Once rinsed, fill the disposal with 2 or 3 cups

of ice.

f. Pour one cup of salt onto the ice.

g. Turn on the cold water and run the disposal

until the ice and salt combination is gone. This

will help loosen any remaining grime.

h. The finishing touch is to replace the splash

guard, cut a lemon in to small pieces, removing

all seeds, and run the lemon through the disposal

to give it a good fresh smell.

5. Don’t use drain cleaners on your disposal! The chemicals can damage the disposal. Enough said.

6. Hand-crank the disposal to break up jams. On the bottom of the disposal is a hexagon shaped slot that a wrench is supplied to be able to manually turn the motor. When the blades become blocked, use the wrench to help un-clog the blades. If the disposal has not been run for some time, garbage may be hard and need that extract strength to loosen. Also, on the bottom is typically a reset button that may need reset if the motor became blocked and tripped the safety mechanism.

Safety first. Make sure the power is off before ever reaching into a disposal to retrieve something. If all else fails, call the professional. ______________________________________________

Biking around Mackinac Island, Michigan, was a fun part of this family vacation. ____________________________________________________

Loaded with bicycles, we headed north. This trip was only four days and one state, Michigan. We visited Whitefish Point (lighthouse/shipwreck museum), Tahquamenon Falls, and Petosky, but the ultimate destination was Mackinac Island. The seven-year-old’s favorite part of the vacation was the ferry ride to the island. The eleven-yearold enjoyed biking around the eight-mile perimeter island with no automobiles …and fudge. He REALLY liked the fudge!

Hiking at Canyonlands National Park in Utah. ____________________________________________________

Our daughter-in-law’s itinerary for our multi-state/park trip was packed tight. This trip was meant as a sampler, just a taste to whet the children’s appetite to return, explore and discover the parks at a later date.

The route was a loop covering 18 western states in 20 days. We checked in and did at least a short hike at each of the national parks including: Mesa Verde, Canyonlands, Arches, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Zion, Grand Canyon, Kings Canyon, Sequoia, Crater Lake, Olympic, Glacier, Mount Rushmore, Badlands, and Herbert Hoover NHS (Whew!)

Fit for Duty: Hendricks Regional Health and Brownsburg Fire Territory Partner for Better Healthcare

By Melissa Gibson Hendricks Regional Health (HRH) has long-since had a partnership with county first responders.

They’ve served police and fire with annual physicals, established wellness clinics with school corporations and the county’s safety personnel and two years ago, created the Community Paramedicine program, in which HRH assists in non-emergent or repeat 911 calls.

When Brownsburg Fire Territory Chief Larry Alcorn shared his vision for a firefighter’s health program, Health and Safety Chief Danny Brock began researching programs available, something resembling what the crew knew was essential for continued healthcare.

“I heard a lot of ‘They don’t know what we do, they don’t understand’ [from firefighter staff] and several healthcare providers came back to me with a price tag,” Brock said. “But HRH came back with a 30-page book on what we need, what we don’t need and where we’re flawed. They didn’t just throw a price tag on it, they put reason behind it.”

Despite HRH providing wellness services and also providing the school corporations with athlete services for decades, when a firefighter was injured, the system was much like any individual visiting the hospital for an injury – a problem for first responders and their ability to do their job.

“For example, if you treated an office worker and began therapy and put them in a boot, they can still come to work but if you put me in a boot, the injury has hindered me from serving the public and I can’t do my primary job function,” Brock said.

HRH set to work, researching and understanding what the firefighters needed.

“It started as a simple conversation,” said Erin Rumley, Director of Employer Strategies for HRH. “Dr. [Keith] Huff really assessed what their needs were and while they already had primary care services, we didn’t have the occupational health side.”

A team from HRH went to the Brownsburg Fire Territory to receive a mock training exercise and learn just what was needed when it came to a firefighter being injured.

Similar to what an injured athlete may receive, the firefighters also needed occupational health, a parallel physical therapist consultant, pre-authorized imaging services and quick determinations.

With the new Occupational Health Fit-for-Duty program for first responders, they receive a finite answer with-

in days versus weeks of physical therapy, medications and an eventual surgery if needed.

“For us, we need to get back out there, asap. HRH came up with a lot of solutions in a short amount of time,” Brock said. “We also have a single point of contact for all the people and places involved to make this happen. We call one person and get everything set into motion.”

For HRH, the return in investment of time and staff is minimal if not for the value they place on the people.

“As a community, we need these guys back on their feet,” said Gary Everling, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at HRH. “Our mission is to treat everybody, but some organizations are so much the fabric of everyday living in the community. We’re talking about a locally managed, locally driven health system. We can’t go to church, restaurants or the grocery store without seeing the Danny’s out there. That’s a whole different level of accountability. We’re focused on keeping the community really strong and highly functional.”

The program has been so successful since the fall of 2019, other first responder personnel have joined, including Washington Township Avon Fire Department, Plainfield Fire Department, Danville Fire Department and Pitts-

boro Fire Department. Mooresville and Decatur have also expressed interest and Rumley is currently in conversations with the police departments in the county as well.

“It’s the focus on lifestyle and prevention,” Rumley said. “We’re sitting down with each individual firefighter and seeing where they are, setting goals and following up. It’s the piece of preventing a health condition instead of waiting 10 years. Just this week, we’ll meet to go over numbers and take a look at where the firefighters were in blood pressure, A1C’s and more compared to last year.”

As the new occupational health Fit-for-Duty program takes off, the team is now looking at mental health and dietician programs to further their goals.

“HRH is our hometown provider and while first responder concerns in different towns may be different, our goals are the same,” Brock said. “With HRH, we’re able to work together for what we need and people are going to see what we have going on over here. We want to continue to make good use of tax dollars and continually enhance the program and continue to build those relationship with our community partners.”

Brownsburg Town Council Appoints Co-Interim Town Managers

The Brownsburg Town Council accepted the resignation of Town Manager Jeffery A. Eder at its Thursday, July 8 meetomg and named Assistant Town Manager Al Geans and Economic Development Director Deb Cook as Co-Interim Town Managers.

“In Deb and Al we realized that we have two very strong leaders in our community currently,” said Town Council President Travis Tschaenn in making the announcement.

Geans and Cook joined the Town of Brownsburg on the same day: Jan. 6, 2020. Geans is the first Black man and Cook the first woman to lead the Town in this capacity.

“I look forward to serving the Town and I am committed to doing an excellent job,” said Geans. He and his wife, Tonya, moved from Cincinnati to Brownsburg before purchasing a home in Avon. Geans has spent much of the past year and a half getting involved in both the Brownsburg and Hendricks County communities. Since joining the staff, Geans has evaluated the effectiveness of each department and worked with the Town’s Human Resources Manager to develop a process to help employees set and meet department goals. He also has initiated a diversity, equity and inclusion effort that is in its early stages.

“I feel good about the team we are building,” said Geans. “There’s been a lot of change and staff has managed this well. I’ve asked staff to trust the process and they’ve done it. I believe this will lead to long-term success for our Town.”

Cook and her husband, Jim Staton, relocated to BrownsAl GEANS burg from Kokomo. Cook’s career includes serving 19 years in the City of Kokomo’s Department of Development. Her roles included working as a Planner/Community Specialist, Development Manager and ultimately Development Director. In 2012, Cook became the CEO of Kokomo’s Housing Authority.

Since joining the Town of Brownsburg, Cook has created a small business grant program funded with EDIT and a Duke Energy Foundation grant to support businesses affected by COVID-19. The program awarded $24,868 to local businesses to purchase personal protective equipment, sanitizing equipment and other items to protect employees and customers.

Since January of this year, Cook has ushered in $71.3 million in estimated capital investment that could result in 600 full-time jobs. The average estimated salary for these DEB COOK newly created jobs is $52,275.

Cook is currently working closely with the Hendricks County Economic Development Partnership on a Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI) opportunity that would also include Montgomery, Putnam and Boone counties.

Cook assured the Town Council she will continue to work passionately to increase economic development while in her new role. “I appreciate the opportunity,” she said. “I look forward to continuing to fuel business development while working alongside Al.” The two will split supervision of the Town’s departments, with Cook overseeing Economic Development, Development Services, Human Resources, Community Engagement and Parks, while Geans will supervise Capital Projects, Streets, Fleet, Water Utilities (wastewater and water) and public safety.

Small Business in the Time of COVID

Jerrod and Kim Cox kept their new business up and running despite the COVID-19 pandemic. ____________________________________________________

By Cooper Lee PopAKernel Popcorn is a family business owned

by Jerrod and Kim Cox in Brownsburg. They make and sell homemade popcorn to all of Hendricks County, beginning in the unprecedented year of 2020.

PopAKernel began as an in-home operation for a few years, and then blossomed into a business based in Brownsburg.

“About two years ago, we moved to Brownsburg and thought it would be a great area to start our store,” the Cox family explained.

Right in the middle of the opening process, COVID-19 surged, changing the way everyone lived and interacted with businesses. Despite the tough circumstances, the Cox family pushed away, saying, “We didn’t let that stop us. We still opened and launched curbside pickup and deliveries.”

This important adaptation to outside forces was critical to the success of their business, and in the first few months of business they did very well, despite the pandemic.

With new challenges came new ways of doing business.

“We had to change our focus by being available to make deliveries, have curbside pickups and adapt to ways such as social media to get our product and name out to the community.”

Without the benefits of vending at events or doing business outside of the store, the Cox family was

forced to use new tactics.

“We have been able to increase our visibility through social media platforms, enhance our website for deliveries and use other delivery platforms to get our products to our customers.”

Not only did the pandemic create challenges, but that coupled with being a minority owned business at the same time can come with its own obstacles.

“With every small business there are risks and there are challenges that you face. It is also even harder as a minority owned business, but you have to have faith and treat everyone like you want to be treated. We have done just that since the day we opened our doors. Everyone is welcome to the ‘PopAKernel Experience’!”

These problems have only made the PopAKernel family stronger. They also shared a word of advice to any budding entrepreneurs by saying, “We would encourage other entrepreneurs to always be open and available for feedback from your customers.”

Although some businesses suffered at the hands of the global pandemic, some small businesses have come out strong, learning from the challenges and pushing ahead.

Rotary Club Celebrates Year’s End with Awards Dinner

On June 24, the Rotary Club of Danville met at the Cartlidge Barn on theHendricks County Fairgrounds for the year-end party.

The new president, Jessica Scot (left), was congratulated by outgoing president Mark Morgan. ______________________________________________

Among the powers of the Danville Town Council are to recognize local citizens or groups for their acheivements and contributions to the Town. Last Wednesday, they used those powers to recognize the Danville Community High School Girls Softball Team of 2021. The proclamation was read aloud by Council Member Chris Gearld, whose daughter is a member of the team.

Whereas: Today, we recognize the Danville Community High School Girls Softball team for the remarkable 2021 season and commend the coaching staff and players on their notable accomplishments.

Whereas: The Warriors had a breakthrough seas going 28-2, had the most wins in school history, the best single-season batting average, and most runs scored.

Whereas: The team was not only impressive on the field but in their academics as well, leading them to be Sagamore Conference Champions, Class 3A Sectional Champions, Regional Champions, and participated in the Semi-State Championship.

The Town of Danville does desire to give the Danville Warriors High School Girls Softball Team special recognition and honor.

Now, therefore, be it proclaimed that by virtue of the authority vested in the Town Council of the Town of Danville in the State of Indiana, we do hereby proclaim thanks and recognition to the Danville High School Girls Softball Team for their years of practice and talent and to be awarded such a high honor.

And we urge all citizens to make an impact on their community like these young women have done and continue to do so for the Town of Danville.

Danville Boys Basketball’s Kobe Ward Signs with IU East

By Cooper Lee This past year, Danville Community High School’s Kobe Ward signed with Indiana University East to continue his basketball and academic career at the collegiate level.

IU East competes at the NAIA collegiate level and participates in the River States Conference. Ward said, “I received other basketball offers from schools like Midway University, Lincoln Christian University, Anderson, Manchester and a few others.” Ward was not only noticed for his prowess on the court, but also on the track, earning the attention of both Marian and Huntington University. Ultimately, Ward decided to pursue basketball, “I’ve always wanted to play in college,” says Ward, “that has always been my goal, and I’ve done everything I could to put me in a situation where I could find a good school to attend after high school and keep playing basketball.”

When it came to finding the right school, Ward had many options, but first and foremost on his list was finding the perfect fit for him. “I was looking for a good situation honestly, and out of all my options it just seemed like the best fit. I had a long list of things that I wanted, I was a little picky, but IU East had a lot of the things I was looking for, so I had to take it.”

Heading into his freshman year, Ward is undecided about what he would like to study, leaving all possibilities open and learning what the school has to offer through experience. Such a calculated approach is admirable, and one that many rising high school seniors can learn from. Ward’s time at Danville has prepared him well for all that IU East has to throw at him.

“Regardless of what anyone says about Danville, we win. I’m not sure what my record was while at Danville all four years, but I know it has to be good. The coaches really do have a method in the madness and at times during my senior year I surprised myself with how much smarter I was as a player. Every year we would have a crazy mix of football and basketball players and somehow it always ended up working out. I thought we were always one of the toughest teams.”

Ward thanked his parents primarily, for instilling in him the work ethic necessary to be successful at anything he attempts.

“They taught me what it means to work hard,” said Ward, “I hear all the time that I’ve got the hardest working parents, and they push me to do the same. I’m probably the only kid around my age with an 11 o’clock bedtime, but I’ll never regret it because it gave me energy for early or late workouts. My parents just want me to have what they don’t.”

With a work ethic like Ward’s, it makes sense that he’ll be competing in college, and he believes that it’s important for the kids following to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack early.

“You (as a young athlete) should want to make friends that are on a higher level and surround yourself with people that have the same goals as you. There’s going to be people that don’t understand, but you’ll be fine once you don’t pay attention to what others think.”

Ward is looking forward to all IU East and their athletics has to offer, and Danville Community High School has left and indelible mark on his work ethic that will no doubt push him further. ______________________________________________________________________

CIK9 Works to Bring K9 Training Facility to Hendricks County

Submitted photo

Twenty-two K9 teams recently completed a three-day training session in Indianapolis. A K9 training facility in Hendricks County would benefit all of central Indiana by reducing travel time, costs, and time away from being on the street for officers. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson The Central Indiana K9 Association (CIK9), non-profit launched in the spring of 2019 with two goals in mind; build a permanent training site for K9 teams across central Indiana and to establish the Shadow Fund, a financial aid grant to assist retired K9’s with medical needs.

“There are 268 K9 teams across central Indiana, including state, local and federal and when they need professional training, they have to go outside of Indiana,” said CIK9 co-founder Theresa Brandon. “With our capital campaign to build a permanent training site, more will be able to attend and they won’t have to travel away from home, away from their agency, or incur the travel expenses. This is something that is needed.”

Currently, K9 teams attend quarterly training events that are often held in churches, open fields, warehouses and other locations.

A handler and his K9 develop a bond like none other. ____________________________________________________

Corporal Kyle Schaefer of the Hendricks County Sherriff’s Office is co-founder of CIK9 and knows all-too-well the burden travel takes on the officers in need of K9 training.

He’s been doing it for 14 years and saw early on, the need for a local site.

“I was fortunate that our previous and current administration allowed me to go all over the country to get a lot of training,” Schaefer said. “Every year, we go to different seminars.

Submitted photo The more knowledge, the Corporal Kyle Schaefer and better and I want to learn as his K9 Deaks have worked tomuch as I can. This training gether for four years. is expensive, and keeping it local, we’re able to offer it at a cost that’s as minimal as possible. My goal is to eventually, make everything free.”

“If we can limit travel time and extra costs, time away from family and officers being on the street, it benefits the agencies, the handler and the community because everyone is able to stay here,” Shaefer added.

K9’s have proved to be a valuable tool for police officers over the years, but many don’t realize their necessity.

Dogs come to the agency designated dual purpose or single purpose and have been trained to track everything from narcotics to missing persons.

“These are the elite pro athletes of the dog world; the Tom Brady’s of trained dogs,” Schaefer said. “They cost well over $10,000 and when they are deployed, it’s generally a serious situation. They help keep the public safe and allow us to go home safe.”

For example, a K9 can been sent into dangerous environment, chase and apprehend a criminal or alert officers to drugs on the premises – a life-threatening position for the dog to be in, but safer for the officer responding to the situation.

Dogs typically retire due to a major health issue, after working in such strenuous and dangerous circumstances.

They may need surgery; some receive cancer diagnosis and others need therapies to help with damaged limbs.

Upon retirement, the K9 is signed over to their handler for care till the end of their life and the financial burden of caring for a dog with significant health issues, is something CIK9 works to combat.

“Our Shadow Fund gives grants to those handlers that have a dog with injury or health issues,” Brandon said.

“Last year, we granted about $4,000 to two different dogs.

One had served in the military and the other was with the Indiana State Police and had cancer in the leg. These dogs have literally put their lives on the line.”

The CIK9 organization has several fundraisers in the works.

Rigdon Construction has chosen CIK9 for their third annual charity golf outing at Twin Bridges Golf Club in Danville on Friday, September 10.

On Sunday, October 3, Koorsen Fire and Security is sponsoring a golf event at TOPGOLF in Fishers. Participants can enjoy the game, food, and meet several stars, including Calvert and Dixie, Justin Melnick of CBS’ SEAL team television show and artist Susan Bahary, a sculptress responsible for several working dog statues.

Purdue Fast Start Program Helps High School Students

In 2020, in a move aligned with Purdue University’s land-grant mission, President Mitch Daniels announced the Purdue Fast Start program, designed to help Indiana high school students earn access to up to a year of college credit through free online courses and the corresponding College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams.

The program is the result of a partnership with ModernStates.org, a philanthropy dedicated to making a college degree more affordable and accessible. Modern States will offer the free, high-quality online courses and pay the test fee for up to 10,000 CLEP exams taken by those enrolled in the Fast Start program.

Fast Start is available to all residents of Indiana but will be especially beneficial to students in rural Indiana and those enrolled in inner-city schools that often lack access to the full offering of Advanced Placement courses, and those for whom college education is less affordable. Purdue will assure admission to students who pass a minimum of five CLEP exams through the program.

“Too many young Hoosiers miss out on college either because of its cost or simply a disbelief that they can succeed there,” Daniels said. “Our Purdue-sponsored high schools are one attempt to open a new pathway to Purdue, and this new venture is another, with special relevance to rural and small-town youth.”

The College Board, which administers Advanced Placement exams as well as the CLEP exams, announced earlier that the biggest shortage of advanced placement courses is in rural America. The Fast Start program is an on-ramp to helping these students attain their educational goals, leading to better jobs and higher earnings for their lifetimes.

CLEP exams can help students receive credit for up to 30 hours of general education courses, or about one full year of college credit. However, many students have been blocked in the past by lack of courses to learn the material and the $89 test fee per course. Today, ModernStates.org provides the necessary courses for free to everyone; the more than 30 courses are like a digital public library, and a new $1 million gift to Purdue from Steve and Maureen Sherry Klinsky will cover the cost of 10,000 CLEP exam fees for Indiana students. Maureen Sherry Klinsky is a trustee of Modern States.

Fast Start will allow Hoosier students to take the online courses and CLEP exams at no cost, meaning a participant could easily save their family thousands of dollars on tuition by providing the equivalent of a full semester or even a year of college for free. Passing five CLEP exams – the equivalent of one semester – can save students and their parents a semester, and almost $11,000. Passing 10 CLEPs – the equivalent of one full year – can save more than $21,000. Every individual CLEP passed is a big savings as well.

The Fast Start option also can move them toward early graduation and early entry into the workforce.

Purdue Fast Start will offer support to high school students enrolled in the program, helping guide them through taking courses and tests, and navigating admittance to Purdue. The students also will have access to Purdue alumni and friends for mentoring if desired. Once Fast Start students accept admission into Purdue, they will be known as Klinsky Scholars.

As Purdue Fast Start reaches out to prospective students, Purdue Extension, which has offices in every Indiana county, will be a vital resource in helping reach students and their families.

For more information, go to the Fast Start website at https://purdue.university/faststart, or call 765-494-1776 or (for hearing impaired) 800-743-3333. ______________________________________________

Arenas Get Ready!

Wolves of the World The most unique show on the road today, the show presents the mystical enigmatic wolf-a whole pack in fact, performing right before your eyes.

The Sandlofer family explains about the history of wolves. They recount the story of how these rescued wolves are raised in captivity and display the traits of the wolf packs, including the alpha male and female and how they interact. The show even features a hero wolf, who saved a young girl from drowning, showing the wolves to be intelligent empathetic animals.

Sharon has trained the fiercely independent animals to perform before audiences, a feat rarely accomplished in a touring show.

Located on the Plainfield Equipment Field, Wolves of the World can be seen Sunday through Thursday at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday at 1 p.m., 5:30 p.m., and 8 p.m. ______________________________________________

Thursday, July 15, 2021

MARCIA G. “Marty” McCARTER, 78, of Chillicothe, Ill., formerly of Plainfield and Indianapolis, passed away on Tuesday, June 22, 2021.

Marty was born on October 3, 1942 in Plainfield, to Robert S. “Bob” and Eloise Hopkins Castetter. She graduated from Plainfield High School in 1960; and was a past member of Job’s Daughters and a member of Plainfield Friend’s Meeting (A Quaker Church).

Marty is survived by her partner, Dean Hayden; her children, Robert Dale McCarter, Francine Deanne (David) Bertram, and James Arnold McCarter, Jr.; her sister, Anita (Donald) Abplanalp. She was a grandmother to Ravyn Nicole (Jim) Stadick, Christopher David Archdale, James Arnold McCarter, III, and Haley Paige McCarter; a great-grandmother to Alba Jane Stadick, Maggie Jo Archdale, and Maple June Stadick. And, she was an aunt to Dana (Steve Diggs) Abplanalp and their daughter, Samara; and Dan (Nicole Collings) Abplanalp and their twins, Amelia and Lucas.

Preceding her in death were her parents and her great-grandson, Gavin Michael Klein.

Marty retired as a teacher’s aide from Chillicothe Elementary Center (Chillicothe, Ill.). Her compassion influenced and touched so many lives, that many of her students stayed in contact with her well into their adulthood. Marty had a passion for playing the piano and organ, and was in much demand for church services, weddings, and any other special occasion where someone wanted to hear her play.

During the summers while residing in Indianapolis, gospel, contemporary, and melodies from musicals would resonate throughout the neighborhood. Neighbors would hear her blowing a silver whistle in three distinct patterns depending on which child she was trying to call home. During the fall, the sound of steam escaping from a pressure cooker and the wonderful smells of fruits and vegetables being canned filled her home while boxes of Mason jars, lids, and rings were piled high on the kitchen table and counters. Her cupboards were always full, and jars gifted throughout the year. Before her health declined, Marty loved to knit and crochet, spin and die wool to make her own yarn, embroider, create crafts using gourds, as well as draw Zentangle designs.
