Law Enhances Police Training

Governor Eric Holcomb (center) signs House Bill 1006 in front of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy at Plainfield. Joining him at the table are Representative Greg Steuerwald, author of the Bill (right), and Representative Robin Shackleford (left). _______________________________________________________________________________

On Monday, August 17, Representative Greg Steurerwald watched as Gov. Eric J. Holcomb ceremoniously signed House Bill 1006, authored by Steuerwald, at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.

The governor, along with Rep. Greg Steuerwald, Rep. Robin Shackleford and other members of the general assembly, touted the bipartisan support and passing of House Enrolled Act 1006.

“There were many that said it couldn’t be done but we proved here in the state of Indiana that we can take on tall challenges and emerge on the other side in a much better position and that’s exactly what we did with the enhancements that are going to occur at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy by passing 1006,” said Gov. Holcomb. “This is just a critically important step and long overdue.”

“Today, I am proud to say that HEA 1006, my Law Enhancement bill, was signed into law today,” Steuerwald said in a statement released after the signing. “This law will require Indiana’s law enforcement have the proper training, equipment, and transparency to keep our communities, and our officers safe. Thank you to Governor Eric Holcomb and all the law enforcement leadership that helped us along the way to better the lives of Hoosiers.”

The bill allocates $70 million to update facilities at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, which trains a majority of the police in the state.

The bill requires the ILEA training board to establish mandatory training in de-escalation as part of the use-of-force training, as well as part of pre-basic training, mandatory in-service training, and executive training. It also defines “choke

hold” and prohibits its use under certain circumstances.

The bill specifies that a law enforcement officer who turns off a body-worn camera with intent to conceal a criminal act commits a Class A misdemeanor.

Under the act, an agency hiring a law enforcement office will be required to request the employment record from the officer’s previous employment agency, and provides immunity for disclosure of employment records.

Along the way, the bill has had the support of law enforcement groups as well as the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus and the NAACP. It had the backing of state Fraternal Order of Police, the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police and Indiana Sheriff’s Association, and the Indiana Public Defender Council.

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: At random, I chose page 3 from March 9, 1882, to learn what The Republican subscribers read that day.

The poem “My Curse” launches the page. I cannot divine its meaning; the refrain, an unfathomable malediction, condemns, “Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel.”

In a short tale, a lovely princess is betrothed to a king she has never met.

Princess Elizabeth, “with blue eyes like the violet hue and lips like cherries,” arrives with her father and his retinue for cathedral services. A mysterious and wondrously gifted organist appears, replacing the previous one who was dead.

Hearing the music, the king proclaims the organist will play at the wedding the following day. But the princess’ eyes had met those of the organist “in a long yearning look.”

It was Bertram Hoffman, her music teacher and the man she truly loved, and that evening she professed her feelings. But their love could never be.

Wedding day, “flame colored flowers waved by the wayside” and flame-colored leaves littered the ground. Ripe wheat “waved like a golden sea,” and berries dropped “in red and yellow clusters over the rocks and along the Rhine.”

I forgot to mention they were in Germany, possibly Bavaria or Baden-Wurttemberg.

The cathedral was resplendent. Then Elizabeth appears on a “snow white palfrey and clad in snow white velvet.”

Downcast Elizabeth faced a horrid life married to a stranger. Then, surprise, surprise, Bertram actually was King Oscar. He had hatched “a stratagem” to ensure Elizabeth had the hots for him.

And her father was in on the ruse. Well, “for once two hearts were made happy by a royal marriage.”

To my thinking, Elizabeth would have been furious at hubby and dad.

Alongside was an item declaring horn and hoof shavings contained 25 times as much nitrogen as ordinary stable manure. Further down was a recommendation to paste old newspapers to chicken house and stable walls to keep out cold drafts.

Intending to tie the knot with his 20-year-old fiancée, a young man was flummoxed when the Newport, Rhode Island, city clerk refused to issue a marriage license for that evening. The girl wasn’t old enough without her father’s written approval.

Producing letters from the agreeable father was not enough for the clerk. However, he suggested taking the train to Massachusetts or Connecticut, “where no rigorous law held sway.”

That’s what they did the next morning.

A doctor failed to discern what ailed him mightily. His condition worsening, he noticed his sporadic “fluids” were “covered with froth or filled with brick dust sediment.”

His minister recommended a proven cure, and “the most pronounced case of Bright’s disease” was overcome.

The panacea? Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Corroborating letters accompanied the story, signed by the manufacturer, a doctor, a mayor, postmaster, two newspaper editors, county clerk, district attorney, a capitalist, a member of Congress and the rector of St. Paul’s Church in Rochester, New York.

That doctor declared hundreds of daily deaths were attributed to heart disease, apoplexy, paralysis, spinal complaint, rheumatism, pneumonia and other causes “when in reality it was Bright’s disease of the kidneys.”

The page had something about Nero’s excesses, a whipped potatoes recipe, instructions for constructing a lady’s dusting cap, advice on boiling tainted water, tips for cleaning greasy pans and kettles, making cottage cheese, and something about fashioning window lambrequins.

The page wrapped up remarking that Civil War General Fitz John Porter’s back pay “should he be restored,” would amount to $115,000.

Having better intelligence about enemy strength and position at the Second Battle of Bull Run, Porter reluctantly obeyed his superior’s conflicting orders and during the ensuing engagement, Union forces were defeated. Porter was court martialed for disobeying orders and misconduct the following year, and dismissed. Army politics and personal loyalties were involved.

Porter immediately and persistently sought for two decades to clear his name. In 1882, President Chester Arthur commuted Porter’s sentence and Congress four years later exonerated him and restored his commission, minus back pay. Vindicated, he retired from the army.

I don’t know how long Elizabeth and Oscar were married, but I’m betting she reminded him every chance she got about his stunt for what likely seemed to him far more than 20 years.

A new school year has brought new video tutoring services to help middle school and high school students better understand their math and science homework through Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology’s free AskRose Homework Help program.

Rose-Hulman tutors are available Sunday through Thursday from 7-10 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) for tutoring sessions to help students in grades 6 through 12 by video, telephone call, email, or chat. Tutors can be accessed via the AskRose website, AskRose.org, or calling by 877-ASK-ROSE (877-275-7673).

The new video services provide an exciting new dimension to the AskRose Homework Help tutoring experience, according to Lindsay Hull, the program’s associate director and a former high school math teacher.

“Video creates a more fulfilling personable experience by capturing those special ‘Aha’ moments when the students understand the math or science problem that had previously puzzled them,” Hull said. “The tutors also can readily see the problem and observe precisely where the student is having issues. Then they can better work together on the proper solutions so that the student feels confident in tackling a similar problem the next day in school.”

The AskRose.org website also offers more than 500 resources available through videos and downloadable reference materials.

A total of 120 Rose-Hulman students serve as tutors during each school year after being specially selected after being recommended by faculty for their technical knowledge and ability to communicate with students of all skill and comprehension levels. Approximately 30 tutors are available each night and they have access to textbooks and many other resources to lend valuable assistance. The AskRose Homework Help program is certified by the National Tutoring Association.

Student privacy is always protected, and students are never asked for their last name or telephone number.

All AskRose Homework Help services are available at no cost to students and parents through Lilly Endowment Inc. support and financial assistance from Rose-Hulman.

Expansion of AskRose’s online technology services is being supported through a $1.46 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. awarded to Rose-Hulman earlier this year.

AskRose Homework Help has conducted more than 750,000 tutoring sessions since starting in 1991. ______________________________________________

Josiah Bohrer and Ava Lee lead a cast of Hendricks County students in a new production of NEWSIES, to be presented at the Hummel Park Amphitheater in Plainfield. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Set in summer of 1899, New York City, NEWSIES tells the story of Jack Kelly, a young newspaper boy who leads a massive and historical strike against media giant Joseph Pulitzer when the news company raised their prices.

While the characters of Kelly, hopeful journalist, and romantic interest Katherine Plummer and a crew of newspaper boys is fictional, the story itself is true.

Full of dancing, music and a story audiences have loved for decades, the Biz Musical Academy is up for the challenge.

“It’s fabulous,” said Producer Jan Van Paris. “They end up getting all the kids in the city from the sweat shops and the shoeshine boys to strike. The pressure mounts to fix things and with the help of Governor Teddy Roosevelt, initiate change.”

The story isn’t new. In fact, several of the young men and women performing say they “grew up with the NEWSIES.” Disney’s adaptation was released in 1992 and while it wasn’t hugely successful, slowly, popularity grew, creating a fan following.

In 2017, the Broadway version debuted and recently, a filming of the Broadway adaptation was released on Disney +.

“These are some dream roles,” said Director Jeff Van Paris. “We have a number of talented boys and girls playing a boy-heavy cast. There are only three girl roles in the show and the girls have done a lot of work making this look authentic, singing in a lower register and more.”

Brownsburg High School senior Josiah Bohrer agrees with Van Paris.

“This is my dream role. I’ve done productions at our high school and some at the Hendricks Civic Theater, but this is my first with The Biz and I’m beyond grateful they’ve given me this opportunity,” Bohrer said. “I’ve always loved theater and thought it would be perfect if I could get the role of Jack Kelly my senior year. Jack and I are the same age and he learns lessons in the production that I’m still in the process of learning. I think it gave a lot more emotion to my performance.”

Not only have the young thespians worked hard to create a performance for the community, they learned quite a bit about history as well.

“When I heard this was a real story, it made me more excited to a part of this production,” Bohrer said. “There

were kids, just like Jack and the rest of them living on the streets. It’s really kind of hard to comprehend.”

Avon High School student Ava Lee plays the young journalist that befriends Jack and raises awareness through her love of sharing information.

Lee is a theater veteran with more than 20 shows with The Biz and has appreciated the growth she’s seen in herself and her acting chops.

“I think the dancing Katherine does is a whole different level; the meaning behind every song… it’s like nothing I’ve worked with before,” Lee said. “Everyone doing the singing and dancing – it’s like a step above anything we’ve done in the past.”

The feel-good classic is bound to leave audiences tapping their feet and sharing their experience with others, but if nothing else, the actors and actresses have all grown and brought something home as well.

“I walk away with a family,” Bohrer said. “I live in Brownsburg and everyone [from the cast and crew] lives all over the place but I know I have an awesome group of people that I can call on and talk to.”

NEWSIES is presented through a special arrangement with Musical Theatre International (MTI) and tickets are on sale now.

Performances will be at the amphitheater at Hummel Park in Plainfield, 7 p.m. Aug. 20, 21, 27 and 28 with two matinee performances at 3 p.m. Aug. 22 and 29.

Purchase tickets online at thebiz-academy.com. Don’t forget to bring a blanket or lawn chair.

Youth Softball Clinics were held on Saturday, August 14th at Scamahorn Park in Pittsboro. Former Tennessee, Fresno State and International Pitcher, Leslie Poole led the clinic. She is also a college and High School coach. The clinics are based on different age groups and she worked on fielding and pitching. The clinic was sponsored by the Blue Devils Traveling Softball Organization. _____ Pittsboro United Methodist Church hosted a Block Party on Sunday, August 15th at the church. There was something for everyone (food, games for the kids (a really cool Bouncy House) and lawn games for those who wished to participate.

North Salem

Local & Social Guess it happens to all of us older ladies Barb Oliver came over to see if I had any baking soda. Her story was she told her daughter Melanie she needed to clean out the kitchen cabinet and knowing Melanie, she came prepared to do so - and it involved throwing away outdated spices - and other condiments that we don’t use much. I almost think young people have never used them! That is what daughters are good doing - don’t keep it if you aren’t going to use it! We all have the same.

Olden days they really prepared from scratch. We have it so hard now, buy a box mix, ready-made pie crust, biscuits or whatever.

Also no wash water to heat up (carry in), running clothes through the wringer two rinses, hang out to dry - if rainy, hang in the house, if cold - freeze and bring in the clothes from the line.

And we have it hard!

Ladies were to do the households, not work outside their homes, as they do today to meet the expenses of having a home, school and college expenses.

And of course, our carry-out food!

God bless America.

While we’re on the subject - the meals were usually beans and cornbread on Mondays (wash day).

Sunday was reserved for fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and something canned from the summer and home-made bread and pies were enjoyed by all.

If anything left over the hound dog or dogs were fed that. No store-bought special dog and cat food for our fur pals (especially if they’re spoiled like most are today, as they are a big part of all families.

Wouldn’t change it!

Free movies downtown on empty space where post office and small restaurant were was a real treat on Saturday nights. People in town till late at night, streets were full and it was known that one family got home without one of their kids. People shopped at grocery store and drug store, etc., until 10 -11 o’clock. The Big Night Out. Probably had popcorn for refreshments. Those were the good old days.

Don’t remember what the movies were. ______ Good to hear from Theda Nell Hawkins Stewart at Brownsburg, North Salem High School Class of 1947.

She is doing ok. Was sorry to hear about Lloyd Hopkins’ passing and also checking on Dottie Basham. We were all close in our school days. Thanks for calling, Theda. _____ Thanks again to Beverly Martin for calling about her mother’s (Mary Martin’s) birthday. Cards would be appreciated. Her address is Mary Martin c/o Northwest Health Care Center, Room 112, 6550 W. 34th St., Indianapolis IN 46224. Mary will be 95 on her birthday, August 22.

Riley’s birthday was being celebrated August 13. ______ The 1970 graduating class from North Salem High School enjoyed a reunion at the home of John and Linda Waggoner Washburn in Carmel, Ind. Among those attending were Tony and Lola Bowden Stevens. A good time was had by all. _____ Classmates Woodie and Alice Pritchett and Tinie Kisner and daughter Karen Hardman attended funeral service for Lloyd Hopkins last Tuesday at Connection Pointe Christian Church in Brownsburg. Thinking of his brother, Marion, was told he is not blind and was unable to attend. A very nice service. Lloyd’s parents were the late Raymond and Lottie Hopkins, well known older residents near Barnard. _____ Glad to hear from former Martha Osborn, classmate and friend of Alta back when. She now resides in Danville, also close to our special people, Steve and Carolyn Clark. Love to hear from all - good to be able to share a call or card remembering out good old days! ______ Saturday, got all floors in the house mopped (with Lysol) - like the smell and decided to eat lunch out. Just outside on the porch. Jenny, Buddy and I had boiled ham, cheese and crackers, small piece of pineapple upside down cake and plain water. Fun and tasted real good. Took a small nap and now listening to Jim Oliver mowing.

That will keep us awake.

Nice breeze today and not too warm. Have a book here - Playing for Knight,

by Steve Alford so think I’ll try and read some of it. Brings back memories of those Good Ole I.U. Basketball Games. Loved them. You could hear me cheering up town! ______ Saturday, Kiley Graham and her grandmother came down. Brought tomatoes and corn, also to Barb and Jim. Riley had a great time with Buddy or should I say Buddy really enjoyed her.

Doris Stewart has brought breakfast casserole and pizza. I never go hungry - real good.

Froze four ears of corn for later use.

IU Health West sStaff and administration celebrate the final portion of the patient care expansion.

By Melissa Gibson It’s official: the final patient care area is open at IU Health West Hospital, a portion of the hospital’s $84 million vertical expansion plan.

Last week, staff and administration celebrated a ribbon cutting event with the completion of a new Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).

In 2018, the hospital announced their plan to increase capacity by more than 50 percent. They’ve added 48 additional inpatient beds, a catheterization lab, two operating rooms, an inpatient dialysis unit, new space for the inpatient pharmacy and additional kitchen and classroom areas. Additional parking was also added.

Instead of expanding outward, they chose to build up, adding three floors to two of its three-story towers.

“If you build out, instead of up, it makes things run a little less efficiently,” explained former president of IU Health West Art Vasquez, at the time. “If a patient comes into the emergency department, you want them to be as close to the cath lab as possible.”

Back in 2004, when IU Health West opened their doors, they planned for growth from the beginning. As Hendricks County continued to grow, the hospital was operating at 88 percent occupancy and they knew it was time.

The hospital also considered several environmentally friendly technologies while seeking verification by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) as a LEED-certified building. In order to receive certification, a focus was placed on energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emission reduction, indoor environmental quality and resource management.

“This project is the culmination of a lot of work by a vast number of dedicated individuals including architects, contractors, subcontractors, health professionals and members of the IU Health team,” said Paul Ivkovich, vice president of operations at IU Health West. “As this project approaches the finish line there are feelings of great joy and happiness by the occupants of the new sections of the hospital and their ability to move into the new spaces. There is a feeling of satisfaction on having completed this monumental task.”

“The new space will allow us to meet the needs of the surgical patients in our community by ensuring we have the capacity to provide timely surgical intervention,” said Michelle Strahl, manager of clinical operations at IU Health West. “It’s really an exciting accomplishment for our team and patients.”

The hospital remained open throughout construction with various phases completed throughout 2020 and 2021.

Hunting Tips & Reflections

Squirrel Season

Note: With humble apologies to our friend “Archy”, this article references his wilder cousins out in the Indiana woods and NOT the local town celebrities.

It’s August and that can only mean one thing for guys like me: squirrel season. Every August 15th for as long as I can remember has been the traditional opening day to hunting squirrels. Even in my advanced age, I still get a kick out of heading to the woods to try my hand at hunting these tree rats. Heck, I was out in the woods on opening day this year!

Why hunt squirrels? Well first of all, they taste great. Secondly, those little buggers are the bane of deer hunters. I don’t know how many times I’ve looked behind me thinking a deer is slipping by only to be greeted by an obnoxious tree rat. Thirdly, squirrels are a great game animal to introduce new hunters to the sport. The weather is great, the game abundant, and a mentor can control the shooting situation so that it’s safe and ethical for a shot. Fourthly, you get a great yoga stretch constantly looking up, contorting your body to peak around tree trunks trying to spot a tree rat before they spot you. And I’m sure there are even more reasons that just don’t come to mind.

Indiana has two species of squirrels that are huntable.

The first, and most common around here, is the fox squirrel (Sciurus Niger for my friends that read Latin). These big bushytails love the Indiana hardwoods. In the early season I’ve had the most success near walnut trees, but oaks and hickory will attract squirrels as well. I listen to the tree rats either jumping from limb to limb or “cutting” a nut for a meal. Once I hone-in on a squirrel, I’ll slip through the woods and look for movement in the tree or nut debris falling. Early in the season, it can be difficult to pinpoint a squirrel due to the heavy leaf foliage.

The other species in Indiana is the gray squirrel (Sciurus Carolinensis, again for my Latin reading friends).

These litter buggers prefer the larger woods north, south and west of Hendricks County. I’m sure there are some around here, I’ve just never seen them. I’ve seen the black phase of the gray squirrel in the town of Auburn in northeast Indiana. I’ve never seen them in an area I can hunt but they sure our cool.

Currently, flying squirrels are protected so Rocket J. Squirrel (Rocky from Rocky and Bullwinkle) is safe from hunters. Piney (red) squirrels are also around. The hunting regs only mention fox and grays as huntable species.

The piney is so small they wouldn’t make a mouthful and not being mentioned in the regulations, I’d leave them alone and concentrate on their cousins, the fox and gray squirrels.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our unique town squirrels. A few years ago, there was a white fox squirrel that hung around the houses from the town library south to the government center. It was not a true albino because the eyes were not red. I have not seen that critter in a few years.

I started my teaching career at Danville in the late 80’s, splitting my time between the old middle school in Hargrave Hall and the high school. Looking out the windows of my classroom in Hargrave, I was entertained by the golden tailed fox squirrels that called the trees around the building home. There were several around there and I was sure somebody had caught a family of squirrels and dipped their tails in bleach.

Gear First and foremost, bug spray! Ticks, chiggers, no-seeums, mosquitos, and deer flies will drive you crazy if you don’t bring something to deter these beasts.

Hunters take squirrels with either a .22 rifle or a shotgun. A few of us will even use bows and arrows on occasion. Some die-hard squirrel hunters will also use dogs to hunt the tree rats. I’ve never used dogs for squirrels, but I’d be game to give it a try. Heck, I even used a squirrel call back when I was a kid. Okay, it really didn’t sound that much like a barking squirrel but a guys gotta try. Whatever weapon of choice you use or style of hunting, be proficient, take responsible shots and know your effective range.

Camouflage clothing isn’t necessary but since most hunters have a plethora of it in their hunting wardrobe, why not use it. However, be aware that during deer firearms season, squirrel hunters are required to wear hunter orange. Check out the rules and regulations to stay safe and legal.

A great, sharp knife is a must for skinning and gutting squirrels. For a small critter, they have one of the toughest hides to take off. I’ve tried a lot of different ways and including an air hose but the best I’ve found is using a scalpel or a Havalon type knife.

However you hunt them, whenever you hunt them, tree rats, I mean squirrels, are a great game animal to hunt either as a new hunter or a veteran. Enjoy the challenge, enjoy the outdoors and best of luck this season.

All the Buzz Lately, there’s been a lot of “buzz” about protecting pollinators. Plants in garden center sport labels announcing “Attracts pollinators.” Roadside signs warn against spraying in the area as it’s a pollinator protection zone. So what’s a Pollinator and why is it important?

Pollinators are animals that move pollen from plant to plant allowing for fertilization. Fertilization is required to produce fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. Without pollinators, approximately one-third of the foods we enjoy would be eliminated. Poof! Insects are the most important pollinators with bees earning the title “Most Important.”. In fact, almost 100% of almonds are fertilized by honey bees. Butterflies and hummingbirds are two favorite pollinators because of their beauty but beetles, flies, bats, and even lemurs are also necessary to various plants’ survival and reproduction.

Pollinators became a concern over the last several years as bee populations were threatened by Colony Collapse Disorder. Monarch butterflies qualified as an Endangered Species. Hummingbird populations have been declining since the late 1990s. How can a concerned person help protect and encourage pollinators?

Plant a garden. It’s too late this year, but never too early to start planning for next year.

Most people think they need to plant only flowers to attract pollinators but vegetables work too. Swallowtail butterflies love carrots, dill, and fennel. Bees are drawn to squash blossoms, peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, and most fruit trees and berry bushes.

A Note From Bee I have seen several produce stands offering tomatoes for canning and corn for freezing. That reminds me of my canning and freezing days probably forty years ago.

Those days at most lasted five years. For lack of a better phrase I was a token canner. I greatly admired people who canned enough food for the whole year. I canned green beans (maybe 18 quarts in a summer, bread and butter pickles and 1 canner of hot pepper mix. Oh I almost forgot , I tried making jelly a couple of times. I could never make it jell. I froze corn (got 5 or six bags a summer). It was a very messy job.

I think I got the idea to can when I belonged to a Homemakers group and there was a lesson on canning. My grandmother canned before I was born. My mother never canned. The first thing I bought was the Ball Canning Book (the Bible for canners). From the book I learned all the other things I needed to can, pressure cooker, water bath, jars. I was ready to CAN. The first time I canned green beans. I finished at 2 a.m. but I was so proud. I left it on the counter for a week for everyone to admire.

The reason I only made the hot pepper mix once was because I did not pay attention to the warning, WEAR GLOVES WHEN CUTTING UP BANANA PEPPERS. I started cutting up the peppers and didn’t notice any burning. A few hours later I felt like my hands were on fire.

I was so desperate to stop the pain. I almost went to the ER. I was so desperate to stop the pain. I almost went to the ER. I decided to call Poison Control first. They said there was an oil on the peppers and I needed to break it down. I should start washing my hands with detergent that did the trick.

I decided because of that incident and other reasons, I would stop canning.

Just add water. Much like songbirds, insects need water. I put a clean sponge in a shallow dish or saucer of water for the butterflies and bees. Consider adding a rock to your birdbath so the critters can “rest” while getting a drink. We don’t want to drown them.

A little bit goes a long way. Think about limiting the use of pesticides. Butterflies and bees are insects so it would make sense that insecticides can kill them. If there’s controversy about the danger to humans about the use of RoundUp and other herbicides, how much would it take to make a tiny hummingbird sick? Just sayin’.

Shelter from the storm. Hedges, shrubs, trees, an old log, a wood or compost pile are all potential home sites for pollinators.

Less lawn work. Do you REALLY enjoy mowing the yard? Instead of a perfectly manicured lawn, maybe let some of it “go wild”. Letting the grass grow a bit longer between cuttings allows pollinating insects more opportunity to do their work. And those dandelions, think of them as wildflowers, not weeds.

Caught your attention and you want to learn more?

There are LOADS of websites dealing with attracting and protecting pollinators. Google it. If something more Hands-On is what you’re looking for, Hendricks County Parks has just the thing!

McCloud Park’s Bee Fest is Saturday, August 28th from 1-4 p.m. Local beekeepers will be there to teach beekeeping basics and answer questions. The Bee House will be open for viewing an active hive. Kids will enjoy the games and crafts. It promises to be fun and educational for the entire family. Best of all, it’s FREE. Buzz on over and Bee Happy!

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Anchors,” the squirrel said.

Archy unilaterally decided to arrange our discussion topics alphabetically. It usually takes me a few seconds to adapt to his train of thought. “Literal, figurative or combination?” I asked.

“All of the above,” he said, trying not to giggle. “It seems humans tend to use the word in multiple ways.”

“You mean ‘anchor’ can be something that ties you down or something that gives you limits.”

“Precisely,” Archy said. “It can mean danger or safety.

The way some people see religion as an anchor in a world they see as evil. But an anchor can keep you from finding other things that can lead to good.”

I asked what kind of anchors he observed in humanity.

“Anchors can be people, your family or your friends, when they give you a feeling of consistency at times when the world doesn’t make sense,” the squirrel said. “They can also be something that holds you back, from reaching your potential. You’ve heard husbands talk about their wives as “the old ball-and-chain.” They convince themselves that another person is keeping them from doing what they want, when they really use that as an excuse for not having good sense.”

I looked at the court house behind us. “That’s an anchor, too, isn’t it?”

Archy nodded. “Yes, it’s a community anchor, one that keeps the town centered, even as it slowly spreads in all directions. Some towns are trying to create a new center in the midst of sprawl, but it doesn’t work as well as building from the center, with roots that grow over time.”

I asked Archy what his anchor was.

“Reason,” he said. And as always, the squirrel was right. ______________________________________________

Garden Plants That Repel or Attract Insects

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Petunias are pretty; they also repel several harmful insects.

Sometimes a garden can take care of itself.

Here are a few things that can make your work a little easier. Select plants for your garden that will help control insect pests.

Some plants invite beneficial insects, who prey on pests—most of us know laBorage discourages some dybugs and praying mantis. insects and attracts others.

Some plants repel harmful insects. Here a list of plants you may already be growing and what they are doing for you!

Artemisia –a strong antiseptic aroma that repels insects Basil - oils in basil repel thrips, flies, mosquitoes Bee Balm –attracts bees Borage – a real workhorse-- repels tomato hornworms, cabbage worms Plus attracts beneficial bees and wasps.

Catnip –repels everything, except cats! Keeps away flea beetles, aphids, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, ants, weevils.

Chives –repel Japanese beetles, carrot rust flies.

Dahlias- repel nematodes—Plus their blooms add bold color Dill -tomato hornworms are attracted to dill (see photo at right). Plant it at a distance from tomatoes to draw the destructive insects over. Dill repels aphids spider mites. Foliage is food for swallowtail butterfly caterpillars.

Our Readers Write Everyone is Progressive I think that a lot of people have formulated a lot of thoughts and perspectives, opinions and insights in the past year, having survived more than a year of a global pandemic and arguably one of the most contentious elections we living Americans have endured. One perspective, insight and opinion I have gained is that everyone is progressive. Regardless of which political party you support, the fact is that everyone is progressive.

I was born in the 1960s. So, during the first 20+ years of my life, domestic abusers, aka “wife beaters,” were rarely arrested. Finally in 1984, the U.S. Attorney General recommended arrest as the standard police response to domestic violence. It took another ten years for Congress to pass the Violence Against Women Act. Also, for the first 20+ years of my life, drunk drivers with multiple convictions continued to drive and often killed innocent victims. It took grieving mothers mourning their dead children, killed by drunk drivers, to organize Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and launch a public awareness campaign that led to lowering the legal Blood Alcohol Content level and more appropriate consequences for repeat offenders. Unless one is perversely obtuse, everyone should agree that the progression of domestic abusers and drunk drivers suffering harsher penalties is beneficial for society and the preservation of life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness for their victims. It is simple human decency and dignity. And for all of us who are over the age of about 40, we have watched this progression occur.

In the 1990s, insurance companies had to be forced, through new laws, to pay for longer hospital stays for new mothers who had delivered via Caesarean Section. These

Artimesia repels insects with its strong aroma.

Four O’clock- favorite food of Japanese beetles-- because of its poisonous foliage they die Garlic –plant near roses to repel aphids--deters codling moths, Japanese beetles, root maggots, snails, carrot root fly Hyssop – Hyssop great for attracting honeybees.

Lavender- favorite of beneficial insects --- repels fleas, moths Marigolds –French marigolds repel whiteflies -- kill bad nematodes. Must be scented to work as a repellant Nasturtiums –ward off wooly aphids, whiteflies, squash bugs, cucumber beetles Petunias – repel asparagus beetles, leafhoppers aphids, tomato worms, Sunflowers - use to draw aphids away from other plants Chrysanthemums –insecticide made from chrysanthemums called pyrethrum. This all-natural pesticide can help control things like roaches, ticks, silverfish, lice, fleas, Using plants for pest control cuts down on your work and reduces the number of insecticides used in your garden. Fewer insecticides mean there are more good bugs.

(Note Remember insecticides kill all the insects in the garden) Find out out what works best for you.

My house is filled with insects that help me with my taxes.

I guess they’re account ants.

Got Questions?

Call The Home-Landscaping-Garden Help Line and Master Gardeners will answer your questions every Tuesday. May 18 to Sept 28. Hours 9:00-Noon and 1-4:00pm call 317-745-9260 (Hendricks County Extension) new moms were regularly incurring infections as a result of being booted from the hospital too soon after delivery because insurance wouldn’t cover the cost of the additional days. New laws now need to be passed requiring insurance companies to start paying for more mental health care, including addictions. Since the decommissioning of mental health facilities in the 1990s, America’s streets have been full of people suffering from mental health disorders while CEOs of health insurance companies have salary and bonus packages worth millions of dollars from profits partially generated from refusing to care for the mentally ill. We have also come to realize, especially as a result of the pandemic and the economic strain that ensued, how much the average American needs their insurance to cover mental health care services such as counseling and addictions.

I hope that you are recognizing that if you have never considered yourself progressive that you really are. No one political party can claim the term “progressive.”

Finally, embracing that America was built on racism and finally devoting time and resources to implement methods and systems to finally dismantle racist systems is a progression that desperately needs to occur. Perhaps if Derek Chauvin had had proper mental health care paid for by his insurance company, George Floyd’s life could have been spared. Of course, he also would have needed to work for a governmental entity that didn’t allow “bad cops” to continue to be “bad cops.” It took an angry and arrogant man killing a defenseless Black man for governmental representatives across this country to start instituting new laws which finally allow police departments to remove bad cops and be able to report a bad cop’s abusive patterns so they don’t hop from one department to another.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. I hope you agree that we are all progressive. Consider that in Jesus’ day, crucifixions were a legal form of capital punishment. We’ve come a long way. Thankfully. But we have a longer way to go to recognize the humanity, dignity and worthiness of literally every human being on this earth.

There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.

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.]

Woof! Do I have some good news for you this week! I have a new gal-pal and she’s a doll! Her name is Geraldine. She’s a little small for her breed, and she’s a beautiful fawn color.

When she came to stay with us last week, she was in bad shape. My humans found her as a stray. She had been dumped or abused or neglected. She was super skinny and had some open sores that looked awful.

My humans took her to see Dr. Howard. He said that she didn’t have heartworm, but she did have a kind of mange that we can’t catch. (Woof! Lucky!) She will have to be treated for it for a very long time. He said the sores were probably from scratching the mange spots. So, she’s staying with us while my humans treat her until she gets better.

Geraldine, the sweetest, gentlest dog I have ever met, is an American Staffordshire terrier. That’s a lot to write, and I had to work hard to spell it right, so I’m just going to say AmStaff.

The AmStaff is the dog that most humans call a pit bull.

For some reason, people are usually afraid of AmStaffs.

They do look big and strong. Some people say they look fierce. And some people say that nobody should have an AmStaff because they are too dangerous.

That’s all a bunch of kitty litter! There isn’t any dog that is born mean. AmStaffs only become pit bulls when a bad human makes them that way. My humans were talking about a story on the radio. It was about a man in Pay-OLee who was arrested for raising pit bulls for fighting.

That’s what ought to happen.

Anybody, animal or human, would get mean if they were starved, teased, and beaten every day. That’s just the way it is. Remember a couple of years ago when I wrote about human courts being like a dog show and the judge sent poor specimens to HCJ spa for some improvement?

I found out that I was wrong. HCJ is not a spa. It is a pen for humans who are dangerous to other humans. How do you think the humans that are in HCJ got there? I bet they were not treated well when they were pups. (Has anyone thought of neutering those humans before they are let loose? It would calm them down for sure.)

Geraldine is an amazing, loving dog. She isn’t a pit bull. She’s an AmStaff. There’s a big difference.

Thought for the Day: There are several states pursuing species specific legislation prohibiting possession of pit bulls. American Staffordshire terriers should not all be judged on the behavior of a few. If that is right, then all humans should be in prison, too. ______________________________________________

ALLEN’S CORNER

ON THE MUSIC SCENE

By Allen Kiger

Vince Neil on the Free Stage Were you as excited as myself and hundreds of thousands of people when the concert announcement was made in 2019 that Motley Crue was going to headline the biggest, most expensive concert tour of all time? Yet you’re still waiting for that concert that has now been rescheduled until 2022. Seeing Vince Neil, front man and lead singer of Motley Crue, on the Indiana State Fair Free Stage Friday evening was as close as we are getting until next year.

Vince did not disappoint. He hit the stage with full power. The band started off the set with “Dr. Feelgood” and continued to play many hits in Motley Crue’s extensive collection of hard rock classics including “Girls Girls Girls,” “Smokin’ in the Boys Room,” “Wild Side,” and “Kickstart My Heart” before Vince sang Motley Crue’s signature ballad, “Home Sweet Home.” He told the audience of a trip he had recently taken on an aircraft carrier where the admiral told him that they play “Home Sweet Home” each time the ship arrives back in port. Vince who was almost in tears telling the story, just gave the song even more meaning.

What a great night the fans were treated to. I watched the crowd and listened to everyone sing along to every song including my friends that accompanied me to the concert.

You know that Vince must just love to sing and be gratified by the audience applause and fans knowing all the songs by heart. Why else would such a huge rock musician who is getting ready to embark on the biggest world tour ever, want to perform at a smaller venue. I just know that I was fortunate to get to see a great performance up close!

Until next time…Remember we have a few concerts coming up in Ellis park. The Gun Show August 28th at 7:00 p.m. with Josh Chalfant, Blake Whiteley, and Levi Riggs. This is a fundraiser and all performers are Danville residents. For $20 you can hear great music and support a great cause.

Then, September 11th at 7:00 p.m. Sights N Sounds Promotions Presents Crush, a Bon Jovi Tribute Band, with special guest Snakeskin Cowboy opening up the show.

Gates open at 6:00 p.m and the admission is only $10. Be ready for a great night of music. Bring a lawn chair and no coolers allowed. ____________________________________________

Can Philanthropy Fail?

In 2020, Americans donated over $470 billion to nonprofit organizations (Giving USA). In addition, according to Independent Sector, 63 million Americans volunteer a total of 8 billion hours of their time for an economic value of over $200 billion.

All of this activity produces advancements in medicine, provides social services, and promotes the well-being of humankind.

But, can philanthropy fail? If so, in what ways does it fail? Author, Lester M. Salamon, identified four sources of philanthropic failure: insufficiency, particularism, paternalism, and amateurism which are explained below.

Philanthropic insufficiency: nonprofit organizations are not capable of meeting all of society’s needs. Sometimes, this is due to donors not giving enough funds.

Sometimes during a recession or as is experienced now, during the pandemic, many donors do not have the resources to give as much as they wish or as they have historically. This inhibits a nonprofit’s ability to meet their goals and provide for their beneficiaries.

Philanthropic particularism: when nonprofits focus on a demographic group based on geography, ethnicity, religion, and/or ideology. On its face, this is not a problem as every philanthropic effort has to choose a mission on which to focus, a group of people to serve, and a region to work within. The trouble with particularism is when it produces either duplication or gaps in service. This results in societal needs going unmet.

Philanthropic paternalism: when nonprofit leaders perceive problems as they see them instead of how clients perceive them. A great example of this came from a former student of mine from Africa.

His country is challenged with food insufficiency. At great expense, a generous,

good-intentioned American donor shipped farming equipment and implements to Africa so that they could grow their own food. A very noble plan. But, the soil in this part of Africa was too clay-like for the equipment to turn the soil. The equipment now sits dormant in a barn because it does not work there. The donor did not work closely enough with the beneficiary to determine together what would be needed to truly meet their current needs.

Philanthropic amateurism: when nonprofits rely on less credentialed workers than are necessary to perform the necessary tasks. This is a very common problem for nonprofits, often due to budget constraints.

Amateurism can lead to decreased program outcomes and fewer people served by the nonprofit’s mission.

Another area of failure that all organizations are susceptible to is ethical or moral failure. This is especially egregious in nonprofits because they, as receiving monetary donations, are designed to uphold the public trust. When failure happens is this regard, the media plays a crucial role to alert people to the transgression. In addition, nonprofits have watchdog groups that monitor the nonprofits. Some of the more commonly known include CharityNavigator.org, GuideStar.org, and the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance: Give. org. It is wise for donors to investigate the organizations they partner with.

Philanthropy is most often celebrated for its incredible achievements. But, failure can and does happen.

Ways you can alleviate philanthropic failure: Insufficiency: give financial resources Particularism: look for and support underserved groups Paternalism: develop strong communications to work with those you serve Amateurism: donate your expertise

Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department Embraces New Drone Technology

By Jerry Vornholt

By Rege Hall President, Blacksheep R/C Modelers Our 2021 NMAD (National Model Aviation Day) R/C airshow to benefit HVAF (Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation) was held 14-Aug-21. What a Chamber of Commerce day we had this year. We raised over $5,500 for HVAF. A very special thanks goes to Indy Bipes who honored our opening ceremony with a fly over consisting of 4 biplanes; a Christen Eagle, 2 Acro Sports and a Stearman. They made a second pass performing the missing man formation with smoke on. As three of the biplanes shut off their smoke, the Stearman remained smoke on as he pulled up and away from the formation honoring our fallen members of the past couple years and all our member’s who have served our country.

The event started with the National Anthem and raising of the American flag by four of our members who served our country, followed by a special surprise. The surprise was a fly over including a missing man formation by the Indy Bipe group in honor of our fallen members and all our veterans. Then the r/c flying commenced, with such nice weather flying was from around 9 in the morning to 6 in the evening with a plane, or planes, in the air at all times. We had lots of raffle prizes which included kits donated donated by club members and all throughout the day we had raffles for gift certificates donated by Danville, Avon, Plainfield and Brownsburg merchants.

One of the many highlights of the day were all the younger kids (maybe future r/c pilots) really enjoying the candy drops, parachute drops and balsa wood gliders. Every youth that wanted to chase a parachute down got to take it home with them. We had over 300 visitors and spectators and we served over 165 BBQ lunches.

We had 118 fixed wing planes, 4 helicopters and 10 quad copters on display with many flying during the day.

Spectators experienced flights of everything from small foam airplanes to helicopters, jets with electric ducted fans, jets with real gas turbine jet engines, various warbird models, various sport planes to a 10 1/2 foot wing span aerobatic plane powered by a 170cc twin cylinder engine.

“Hey Jerry, want to see something cool? Meet me at the fairgrounds in about an hour. You’ll like this.”

Hendricks County Sheriff and inspiration for the Eveready Bunny, Brett Clark, wanted to show off the latest addition to the Sheriff’s department.

An hour later, we were standing in front of the Sheriff’s mobile command station watching a handful of Sheriff’s deputies training with David Glisson of Vector Aerial on how to operate Unmanned Aerial Systems (better known as drones).

The Hendricks County Sheriff’s department has made an investment in what it believes will be an indispensable piece of equipment. The uses are only limited by the imagination.

According to Sheriff Clark, “Having drones available for vehicle accidents was the main reason for looking at this. And the fact that Purdue University, through a federal grant, is offering training and licensing to our deputies at no charge, made it a no brainer.”

The Sheriff added, “Purdue is also making available at no charge the use of special accident reconstruction software that will give the department a 3D model of an accident scene within 48 hours. This will also reduce our time on a traffic scene by up to 60 percent. This gets traffic flowing again quicker and it significantly reduces the number of secondary crashes.”

According to a study by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation, secondary crashes increase by a factor of almost 24 during the time that highway safety officials are

assessing and documenting the crash site.

The drone equipment cost the department about $16,000. There are two larger drones and two smaller ones. The cameras come equipped with both infrared and high-resolution cameras. Infrared cameras will allow the operator to see heat signatures during nighttime operations. They also have high wattage LED lights and speakers that can be attached to the drones.

The Sheriff was quick to give credit where due.

“Credit is to these men here. I was not going to do this. This is not the Brett Clark program. I might be slow to drink the water, but I was up at the ponds edge, and they sold me.”

The Hendricks County Sheriff’s department hopes to have a trained drone operator on each of its shifts sometime after September 1st of this year.

Thanks for the invite, Sheriff. Don’t hesitate to call me any time you have something “cool” to share with our community.

Each drone is equipped with infrared camera for nighttime operations. ____________________________________________________

Summer Games at Special Olympics Indiana in Terre Haute is a highlight for athletes and volunteers alike. ____________________________________________________

had their 50th anniversary in 2019 and Indiana was one of the first states to start the program, just one year behind the worldwide launch,” Manner said. “It’s important for our athletes not only for the obvious benefits of team sports; staying fit, learning responsibility and working with a team, for our athletes, it’s their social climate. Maybe for the first time, they are able to be a part of a team and have those meaningful relationships where everyone is equal in their own way and respected for their ability levels.”

Plainfield resident Kyle Tate has certainly benefited from the program. An athlete since 2007, Tate has participated in swimming, basketball and softball.

A veteran of the Special Olympics program, Tate has seen the joy that comes

from participating but also helping others.

“I have made a lot of friends,” Tate said. “It’s great because I can help others feel welcome.”

Tate’s mother, Lynn has seen a change in Kyle as well.

“It’s the highlight of his day when he has Special Olympics. There’s an extra pep to his step and he’s so enthusiastic to be with his friends and have fun. He really enjoys the competition and sportsmanship is number one. They cheer each other on because they know everyone is doing their best,” Lynn said.

The acceptance and encouragement received by everyone in the program is something staff and volunteers can appreciate too.

“I hear time and time again, our volunteers say they feel like they get more

out of it than the athletes,” Manner explained. “The energy is just unmatched.

Many of us look forward to a birthday or Christmas but [at the Special Olympics], we all look forward to Summer Games. (Summer Games is the annual Olympic competition held in Terre Haute each June).

“We have the most incredible atmosphere in the world,” Manner said.

It’s that atmosphere that encourage law enforcement to join in; raising funds, presenting medals at the Summer Games and volunteering as referees.

After stopping by for coffee and breakfast on Aug. 20, the community is invited to the 2021 Plane Pull Challenge. Held at 9 a.m. on Sept. 11 at the Indianapolis International Airport Postal Hub (2475 Hoffman Road). Groups of 12 try their hand at pulling a FedEx Boeing 757 airplane, 12 feet in the fastest time.

Each participating group raises $1,200 to participate, for Special Olympics Indiana’s largest single-day fundraiser of the year. The all-day event includes the competition, a classic car show, live music, food trucks games and events for the entire family.

Monster Dash 5K Fun Run

Endeavor Communications invites everyone to join them at their annual Monster Dash 5k event! It will take place on Saturday, October 2nd at Cloverdale High School.

This event starts at 10 a.m. with on-site registration beginning at 9 a.m. Endeavor will be offering a “virtual” race option with an in-person live event to accommodate all participants.

Everyone, including pets, is free to run, jog, or stroll, and costume fashion is encouraged! Prizes will be awarded to category leaders. Different categories include the fastest male, female, and child. The in-person event will have live music, a medal ceremony, and many raffle prizes for those who complete the race! Join in on the fun AND support a great cause!

Endeavor donates all proceeds to two local cancer treatment hospitals that support our communities, Hendricks Regional Health and Putnam County Hospital. These funds are used to provide new chemo treatment chairs, free public screenings, education programs for health personnel, and more. Last year they raised more than $8,000 for both of our local hospitals.

Want to be part of the Monster Dash fun and maybe win a prize? Head to Weendeavor.com to register!

Create A Family Legacy Fund Do you want to leave a legacy?

Have you thought about what legacy you will leave behind? Beyond family and friends, how do you want to be remembered in your community? Do you want to leave a permanent legacy for good?

A Family Legacy Fund is a special fund at the Hendricks County Community Foundation. It allows a family to create a legacy that permanently supports the community while honoring their family name forever. These funds are powerful grantmaking tools for HCCF to use in meeting current and emerging needs in our community – needs that often would not be met otherwise.

HCCF has over 50 Family Legacy Funds funding projects and programs that create a positive impact in our county. The families and individuals who started these funds have partnered with HCCF because we have the knowledge of current community needs and will be able to adjust our grantmaking as needs change. They knew a Family Legacy Fund would be unrestricted, which means HCCF could use the dollars to meet any need facing the community now and into the future.

As one of our donors said, “We started an unrestricted Family Legacy Fund at HCCF because we know that the Community Foundation has its fingers on the pulse of the need in our community. We can’t know where all the needs are, but they do. And they have proven over the past 25 years that they wisely manage donors’ gifts and use those gifts to make a lasting difference in our county.”

Are you looking to leave a legacy for good in Hendricks County? Contact HCCF today! ______________________________________________

In the event of an industrial process which requires use of water and subsequent disposal through the sanitary sewage system, the Town shall require the user to measure, by means satisfactory to the Town, such additional usage and shall apply an additional charge based upon the equivalency of such usage to that of a single family dwelling unit.

SECTION 2. In order that the rates and charges may be justly and equitably adjusted to the service rendered, the Town shall base its charges not only on the volume, but also on strength and character of the sewage and wastes which it is required to treat and dispose of. The Town shall require the owner or other user to determine the strength and content of all sewage and wastes discharged, either directly or indirectly, into the sanitary sewage system, in such manner and by such method as the Town may deem practicable in the light of the conditions and attending circumstance of the case, in order to determine the proper charge.

The Town may then adjust the charges to the ordinance fees and charges required by such analysis or may check the finds by additional samplings and analysis.

Requests for fee rate adjustments by the owner may be submitted no more often than once every twelve (12) months.

The determination of Suspended Solids and Five-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand contained in the waste shall be in accordance with the latest copy of “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water, Sewage and Industrial Wastes,” as written by the American Public Health Association , the American Water Works Association and the Water Pollution Control Federation.

SECTION 5. Except for Billings to multiple users such as apartment houses, mobile home, courts, and housekeeping rooms, the rates and charges may be billed to the tenant or tenants occupying the properties served unless otherwise requested in writing by the owners but such billings shall in no way relieve the owner from liability in the event payment is not made as herein required.
