Those passing by the Hendricks County Museum, 170 South Washington in Danville, might just make a double take. A new Little Free Library was installed last Saturday and, like the former sheriff’s residence and jail, is an example of Second Empire architecture, a style made popular after the Civil War. The original Little Free Library at that location was funded through the Danville Public Library and was removed due to weather damage. The new book box was designed and built by Sabine Karner and Mark Howell. The Great Wind Zendo, just west of the museum, is the caretaker.

The first Little Free Library in Hendricks County was installed in Plainfield in 2013 and they are now found in many locations throughout the county. The project originated in Wisconsin in 2009 when Todd Hudson built a model of a one-room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother. Today, nearly 100,000 of the “take-a-book, leave-a-book” stations are located in over 90 countries. ______________________________________________________________________

The Republican

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner takes items from

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

To the Editor: I’m not slightly confident honor exists among the modern many today – at least comparable to past days of chivalry. Punishment with hyperbolic rhetoric was inevitable if clear-cut lines were crossed.

Consider The Republican’s righteous reproof in May 1883 of undisclosed misdeeds of The Gazette’s editor, and the unworthy reaction of those “who have little respect for the will of the people.

“These men have, by a liberal use of (the Gazette’s editor) as a vault cleaning suction pump, attempted to punish us . . . and escape the odium which would otherwise attach to them.”

I wasn’t there, I know not the odium.

Impugning a woman’s honor cost one’s life, The Republican reported in December 1881. A Mississippi man and his accomplice pursued a man for hundreds of miles and murdered him. “The killing was cold-blooded, merciless, horrible.”

The reason? The victim had published “to the world a most scurrilous piece reflecting on the virtue” of the killer’s wife.

“He had destroyed the good name of the lady forever.”

Nothing within the law sanctioned the murder, but this was the deep South, where “public sentiment and custom, which are more powerful than the law, do give a southern man . . . the right to kill for a defamation” of a woman.

A father, brother or husband was expected to mete justice for the insult.

“One who does not do so is looked upon as a low coward.”

Was it not “the very best protection of female virtue?” The paper clearly thought it was.

“And to this fact we attribute the high standard of virtue among our southern women.”

I posit that anyone questioning southern women’s virtue lived on borrowed time.

Some clearly believed not a single southern woman lacked virtue, and The Republican’s editorial suggested shootings to protect Hendricks County women’s reputations.

A year later, a local man was spending his “spare time in circulating false and slanderous stories against law-abiding and honorable citizens of the town.”

Was that a hint he needed shooting?

Today, the Internet can be scurrilously employed – often anonymously – to defame and encourage violence against just about anyone.

A 17-year-old Central Normal student endured gossip, scandal, threats, and was induced to attempt strychnine suicide in 1885 after an affair gone bad with an older fellow student.

A July 2 front-page editorial and story commanded townspeople’s attention. “Now that a poor girl, who is away from home and without any friends has been robbed of her virtue and outrageously abused,” the paper expected the “same vigilance” from college faculty as when the ex-town marshal struck a student in the post office lobby.

The faculty and “entire Normal School” had convened “an indignation meeting” demanding the marshal’s prosecution.

But what of the girl?

She was not a local, and the villain reportedly took advantage of her. The paper tried and condemned him for his misdeed.

Headlines summed the story, which contained “much rottenness.” It was “A Horrible Story of Crime.” Indeed, “Seduction, Breach of Promise, and Administering a Deadly Poison Charges.” Yes, a “Foolish Girl Betrayed, Ruined and Driven to Court the Embrace of Death.”

The scoundrel took her to an Indianapolis hotel where they registered as man and wife.

He promised to marry her. Soon afterward, she revealed she was pregnant.

He replied he had seduced and pledged to marry yet another.

The rogue urged the girl to induce an abortion, then suggested she go to a house of “ill fame,” where she would ”forget” him and make “plenty of money.”

When he threatened to kill her, she agreed to“take the medicine.”

She tried to flee, but she owed the college money and at its behest her landlady refused to allow her to leave with her baggage. The desperate lass was cornered. Gossip from “the vulgar-minded” hounded her and she “suffered untold agony.” Tearfully, she disclosed her plight to the landlady, who took her to the wife of Central Normal’s president.

Left alone, the girl swallowed the strychnine. A summoned doctor saved her, but her life was ruined.

The jailed wretch was charged with criminal seduction and providing “a deadly poison.” I chose not to pursue the outcome, but I rather think his attorney asked for a change of venue.

Grants Help Farmers Grow Communities The Bayer Fund announced the kickoff of the 2022 America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, which has been revamped to make it even easier for farmers across the country to find and fund the organizations and institutions that keep their communities thriving.

From now 2 to November 1, eligible farmers can enroll for the chance to direct a donation to a local eligible nonprofit organization, school STEM or youth agriculture program. For 2022, Bayer Fund will double the individual donations to $5,000, up from $2,500 in previous years.

America’s Farmers initiatives have awarded more than $60 million to thousands of schools and nonprofit organizations. Since

the creation of Grow Communities in 2010, farmers have played a key role in directing funds to programs and organizations that contribute to their communities’ health and vibrancy, such as food banks, schools and agriculture programs.

In 2020 a Hendricks County farmer directed a Grow Communities donation to the Cascade High School FFA to help build a greenhouse at the school.

In 2021, another local farmer directed his donation to the Tri-West Dollars for Scholars program to proved scholarships for graduating seniors.

Farmers are eligible to enroll in Grow Communities if they are 21 years of age or older and are actively engaged in farming at least 250 acres of any crop.

“In addition to increasing the individual donation amounts in 2022, we’re excited to evolve Grow Communities to make it easier for farmers to take part,” said Al Mitchell, Bayer Fund President.

“Over the years we’ve heard from countless farmers and Grow Communities recipients about the ways the donations have made a positive impact across rural America. For this reason, Bayer Fund is excited to continue the Grow Communities tradition.”

To enroll or learn more about Grow Communities, including program eligibility and rules, farmers can visit www.AmericasFarmers.com or call 1-877-2673332 toll-free. Winners will be announced January 2022. ___________

Fall Is Tree Planting Time

Now is the best time to plant new and replacement trees. For peak post-planting performance, container-grown trees are the best option.

Well-developed root structures and minimal planting shock, combined with locally grown native species, are key factors.

Those best-choice trees are available from the annual Soil & Water Conservation District fall tree sale.

Orders are accepted through Sept. 23; all trees and understory shrubs are $25 each. Choose from 24 species grown in three-gallon containers, ranging from American Plum to Scarlet Oak, to Elderberry.

A completed order form and full payment are to be sent to the Hendricks County SWCD, 195 Meadow Dr., Ste. 2, Danville, IN 46122. Make checks payable to Hendricks County SWCD. Proceeds help fund local district programs including clean water and soil conservation efforts.

Call the district office with questions, (317) 7452555, ext. 3.

A downloadable order form and species list is found at the district website, hendricksswcd.org/ annual-tree-sale. ____________

Past award recipients include Danville’s Chloe Schut, of Danville Middle School for her involvement in the Girl Scouts and Hendricks Co. Humane Society. Other winners have initiated a coat drive for the underprivileged, supported patients at Riley Hospital for Children, worked with special needs children, volunteered at a local animal shelter, raised money for the American Cancer Society, and more.

Apply To Be Statehouse Intern

Whether studying economics, telecommunications or history, Hendricks County legislators said local college students and recent graduates can gain valuable hands-on work experience by interning with Indiana House Republicans at the Statehouse in Indianapolis.

“Our interns are a great asset throughout the entire legislative session,” said State Rep. Bob Behning (R-Indianapolis). “We rely on them to cover public hearings, help set up press conferences, and draft letters and news releases.”

According to State Rep. Greg Steuerwald (R-Avon), internship positions are open to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, communications and media relations, policy and fiscal policy.

“Interns with the House of Representatives have diverse backgrounds, career goals and skill sets,” Steuerwald said.

“We value our interns and enjoy helping them develop as professionals.”

State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) said interns will work at the Statehouse in Indianapolis for the duration of the 2022 legislative session, which kicks off in January and concludes mid-March. The paid, spring-semester positions are full time, Monday through Friday. Interns receive biweekly compensation of $750, free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and can earn academic credit through their college or university. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.

“Because we work on legislation that covers a wide variety of topics, interns from all majors can learn about different policies that align with their interests,” Thompson said. “Anyone wanting to grow their skills while helping move Indiana forward should apply.”

Visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship for more information and to apply before the Oct. 31 deadline. ______________________________________________

Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, celebrates Constitution Week, September 17-23, which is the 234th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States.

The chapter has displayed Constitution Week posters in the Avon, Brownsburg, Clayton, Danville, and Plainfield libraries. American colonists fought, sacrificed, and died to establish and preserve the freedoms now guaranteed to us by this important document.

The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, DAR petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into public law on August 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The U.S. Constitution is the oldest constitution still in active use in the world today and is the basic document of our republic, which protects the individual liberties of all citizens through written law.

Looking forward to Saturday. Always lots of people stopping in. Alta coning over to watch parade. Oh, yes - our Ron Kneeland stopped by and dropped off my Old Fashion Days shirt.

Thanks, Ron - you’re the best!

Pouring down - 5:30.

Needed the rain, but too late for some of the crops.

Hope the farmers can make it through another year. So much put into their farming.

Chris and Karla Carter stopped Friday and gave me a pretty planter. They had also stopped to visit Shawn Boller, a good friend of Karla. _____ Congratulations, Sonnie Johnston, on being the Grand Marshal of the OFD Parade. Don’t think I saw Buddy with her - but happy to see her daughter, Marchell.

Would hate to be a judge for that.

Hope I have more news next week. Special thanks to all who supported us rain or shine - and hope you enjoyed it, too.

Thanks to our many dedicated people who worked so hard to get this event so great. We appreciate all.

God bless everyone. So thankful for our Town, for all our neighboring towns and people. We are truly blessed.

What a wonderful weekend for so many. We pray for everyone’s health and safety. So proud of all the young people who are assuming the responsibilities of keeping small town safe haven or all.

There’s no place like home.

Just a mention or two - Jimmy Miller and wife, Charles and Donna Ray Brackin from Brownsburg, Linda Simon able to get downtown, Steve and Nina Hubbard (love them!), Tina Goldsmith and her children. Mrs. Cavender and her guests, Logan Goode with Aunt Liza Hardman, Becky Graham and Kiley, Dixie Harnishfeger, Alta Trump, Lance and Joanna Kennedy, Brian and David Selzer and their families.

I could fill the whole paper with people, but that wouldn’t leave nay room for my food news. Guess I’ll save that for next week.

Hey Jerry…

Taking the Power Tour I’m always on the lookout for cheap (preferably FREE), fun things to do. When I find something interesting, I like to share it. Normally this column, “Exploring Hendricks County,” is about finding parks, nature preserves, and occasionally I throw in an article about a plant, animal, or natural phenomenon. This week I had a blast doing something completely different. It was still free and still fun.

Instead of a quiet walk or leisurely bike ride, it was all about noise, power, and speed.

On August 25 Lucas Oil Raceway welcomed Hot Rod Power Tour 2021.

Billed as the “World’s Largest Rolling Car Show”, the Power Tour began in 1995 with only 16 cars, half of which were driven by the staff of the magazine which sponsored the tour. Taking off from Los Angeles, Calif., the group crossed the country finishing nine days later in Norwalk, Ohio at the Power Festival. Over the next 24 years, the venues have changed. The tour was limited to a week.

The event, like so many others, was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. This year, it returned with a reduced schedule of five cities (Norwalk, Ohio, Dayton, Ohio, Brownsburg, Ind., St. Louis, Mo., and Champaign, Ill.) in five days… and 6,000+ vehicles!

The thrill-seeking among the attendees could take a run on three of the venue’s drag strips ....even the family sedan! (Yep, he ran it with the bikes on top!). ____________________________________________________

Tour participants may enter any car or truck (no motorcycles) regardless of age, make, or model. Entrants may come for one day or every day. Those completing the entire tour route earn the title, “Long-Hauler” and receive special recognition. Each morning of the tour, the group gathers, and following a suggested route, travels to the next city.

For car enthusiasts in the towns they pass through, it’s a miles-long procession of muscle cars, pickup trucks, restored vintage automobiles, and even minivans that looked like they just dropped off the kids before joining the parade. Participants are encouraged to drive their vehicles so no haulers are allowed on the showgrounds. If a vehicle is trailered, it must be unloaded off-site and driven into the show area.

John and I arrived at the raceway in the early afternoon. The field surrounding the track was filled with the Power Tour participants and more were lined up to get into the grounds. Spectator admission was FREE. A courtesy shuttle was running between the parking area outside the track and into the grandstand area. Luckily it had rained earlier in the day, cooling the temperatures. Even with the overcast skies, it was HOT.

John and I strolled through the vendor exhibits gathering swag. We walked up and down several aisles checking out the cars, noting which models were familiar, and reminiscing over who drove what back in the day. We munched on pretzels and resisted the temptation of funnel cakes.

And then the fun began… Drag races!

Lucas Oil Raceway is THE world-famous, quarter-mile track where every Labor Day the National Hot Rod Association hold the U.S. Nationals. The entrance fee for the Tour includes unlimited runs on three of the venue’s drag strips. The opportunity to run a car down this historic strip is worth the Tour fee alone. There are no rules (other than safety equipment), no prizes, only the thrill of speeding down THE strip in your vehicle. As a car enthusiast and spectator, it was just plain entertaining.

The venues for the 2022 Hot Rod Power Tour won’t be announced until later this year. If you’re interested in seeing some of this year’s participants, activities, and announcements for upcoming tours, check out their Facebook page at Hot Rod Power Tour.

Just like looking at cool cars? It’s not too late this year to squeeze in a car show or two.

Amo Fall Fest Car Show is on September 18 from 1:005:00 PM. The last First Friday Cruise-In at the courthouse in Danville will be on October 1st. Me? I’m calming my “need for speed” on Labor Day at the Nationals! ______________________________________________

“…we will be having the “topping out” ceremony next Wednesday at 9am for the new jail. We would like to invite you to the ceremony and to sign the beam if you like”, was the voicemail from Hendricks County Facilities Manager and all-around good guy, Kevin Cavanaugh.

Never having been invited to a “topping out” ceremony, I straightaway put the event in my calendar. “Topping out” or “topping off” is a builder’s rite that goes back quite a ways. It signifies the completion of the structural portion of the building and moving on to the “finishes” portion.

The tradition can be traced back to ancient Scandinavian days when a tree would be placed on top of a new building to appease the “tree-spirits” that were displaced when they were cut for construction.

The tradition has lived on since then and a blue spruce was placed on the “top beam” along with the United States flag for good luck.

Signing the beam for posterity is another tradition for those who played a part of the building project. This usually includes the contractors, vendors and local dignitaries.

Being asked to sign the beam is an honor, and among other names on that top beam are the words: The Republican newspaper. Founded 1847.

At around 9:00 a.m. prior to the lifting of the beam into place, Councilman Larry Scott and Commissioner Phyllis Palmer and construction manager Tony Anderson each said a few words about the project.

Of course, Sheriff Brett Clark was the first to grab the microphone and in his hallmark fashion, took the time to thank everyone that had a hand in the project.

Not missing a beat, the Sheriff looks straight at me and says, “Looking up some of the traditions of the “topping out” ceremony, I’m sorry to say Jerry, we won’t be going out and drinking a bunch of beer.”

Believing that traditions are important, I was disappointed.

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy

Side note: This is what I drove when I was a kid - ‘68 Camero - but mine was red and not in pristine condition. ____________________________________________________

“I have a theory,” Archy greeted me and plowed straight through my hesitation. “Humans have allowed meteroroligists to dull their connection with nature. Instead of looking at the weather they look at their phones to see if it’s raining.”

The squirrel was right again. I had seen people do that very thing more often than I can count.

“Humans used to make their own forecasts by studying what’s around them,” he went on. “They kept track of the weather by watching trees and plants and by observing the behavior of animals.”

I recalled seeing the leaves on the trees “show silver” or turn their backs when rain was approaching. I’ve observed the leaves on the field corn cling tighter to the stalk to preserve moisture during a drought.

“Precisely,” Archy said. “And you’ve seen the cows turn their backs on an approaching storm and felt the change in the wind when rain was close. Animals can sense the weather without the help of doppler radar.”

The squirrel stopped, paused, then said, “You’re remembering standing in the rain.”

It was after a long drought, when the earth sounded hollow when you walked on it and the dry grass crunched like shredded wheat before you poured the milk on it. I had been checking the garden and it began to rain. I stood in it a long time, remembering how it felt to run in the rain when I was a child, to jump in the mud puddles. How the wet grass felt like silk under my feet.

“Some say people who don’t come in out of the rain don’t have good sense,” the squirrel said. “I think sometimes the people who stand in the rain have more sense than others.” ______________________________________________

The Republican Time to Harvest Your Popcorn Before Frost Hits

Thursday, September 9, 2021

Next, shell the corn kernels and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

These tiny grains will pop and expand to 30 or 40 times its original size Enjoy! A whole quart of popcorn has less than 100 calories, so even waist watchers can afford a little melted butter.

Popcorn is a whole grain.

Popcorn’s Place in History Historians doubt that turkey was served at the first Thanksgiving dinner, but they know that popcorn was there. An Quandequina Indian brought a deerskin sack filled with popcorn to the feast. Popcorn was a staple for Native Americans, it stored well and could be popped fresh all winter long.

Harvest your popcorn before frost hits.

First year raising popcorn? Never tried raising it?

There’s only one variety of maize(corn) that is popcorn – Zea mays everta. There are several cultivars of this variety of corn that has the ability to pop and turn into a delicious snack Leave popcorn in garden until the stalks and husks are dry and brown, then harvest by twisting and snapping from the stalk.

Strip away husk from the ears. The kernels are only partially dried or “cured “now.

Popcorn needs 4-6 weeks of drying in a warm, well-ventilated area in your house. (The corn won’t pop until there is the right amount of moisture inside the kernel. The moisture turns to steam- when heated ,the kernels burst!)

Spread ears out in an area so the warm air circulates around them.

You could also hang mesh bags full of popcorn ears in your garage for about six weeks. Note: if you have an abundance of popcorn after curing; the popcorn keeps for years in cool dry dark place.

You might be surprised at just how easy it is to plant, grow, and harvest a crop of popcorn in your own backyard garden. Just imagined the delight of watching your crop pop into a delicious snack!!

The corn was worried he had a cough, his voice was getting a little bit husky. _____________________________________________ _

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! I’m back! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to write my column. My humans have been so busy with other stuff that they haven’t had the computer on at all. I finally figured out how to turn the computer on—I can push the little button with my nose. But, I don’t know the secret word that lets you work the typer. The next time one of my humans uses this computer, I’m going to keep my eyes open for that word. Once I get it, I’ll be able to write any time!

I have had so much fun watching my humans for the last couple of weeks. Two of the cats have really been giving them the run-around! Phyllis and her son, Possum, managed to lift the metal cover off the floor hole for the air cooler. They got down into the tubes under the house!

They even broke a couple of the tubes loose from their holes in the floor!

My human went into the crawling space under that part of the house. Some of the tubes were bendy, like great big hoses, and he could see them sag and sway as the cats ran through! But, he couldn’t get them out. By the time he unhooked the tube, they’d be somewhere else. So, finally, he unhooked all the tubes. He looked through them all, but he couldn’t find the cats. He and his mate both thought the cats had somehow gotten outside.

They called the air cooler repair people. They went through all the tubes, too, before they hooked them up again. They were sure that the cats weren’t there.

The next morning though, one of the metal covers had been pushed up out of its hole in the floor. The cats had still been in there somewhere! They had come up into the room where they are fed, ate something, probably used the litter boxes, and went back into the tubes!

My humans have been wondering why I have been panting so much lately. Don’t they realize that’s how we dogs laugh?

There is a little hole in the wall between the crawling space and the basement (my human could squeeze through, so it couldn’t be THAT small). They thought maybe the cats had gone through that. Anyway, my human oochied through that hole a couple of times. He couldn’t find the cats there either.

They finally set live traps and managed to catch Phyllis and Possum. Once they were back in the cats’ quarters, my human screwed the metal covers onto the floor so they couldn’t get out again.

Cats are such trouble-makers! Do you think that dogs would do that? Of course not! We know where our food comes from. NO! We’re all too big to fit through the holes in the floor. ______________________________________________ SUDOKU SOLUTION

Progress is impossible

A Note From Bee My father-in-law, Cleo, was known for his bargaining abilities. His biggest coup goes back to 1932. He wanted a 1920 Chevrolet that was on the lot of Horner’s Chevrolet in Crawfordsville. Russ Horner, the owner of the dealership was struggling to keep the dealership open because the depression was going on. Cleo made it a point of walking by Horner’s every day on his way to work. And every day he went in and offered Russ a price considerably lower than Russ was asking. This routine went on for a month. Finally Russ caved and said,”Cleo I am tired of bargaining with you. You can have it for your price.”

For 49 years, Cleo bought cars from Horner’s. Cleo died in 1981. My husband bought his first car from Horner’s in 1955. The last car we bought from them was in 2013. They did so many extra things to make it convenient for their customers to buy cars from them. They truly wanted to satisfy their customers.

Stuff, Stuff Everywhere!

Here are some startling statistics. The average size of the American home has nearly tripled in size over the past 50 years. (NPR). Even with that, 1 out of 10 Americans rent offsite storage – the fastest growing segment of the commercial real estate industry over the past four decades. (New York Times Magazine). 25% of people with two-car garages don’t have room to park cars inside them and 32% only have room for one vehicle. (U.S. Department of Energy). British research found that the average 10-year-old owns 238 toys but plays with just 12 daily.

(The Telegraph). Americans spend $1.2 trillion annually on nonessential goods – in other words, items they do not need. (The Wall Street Journal). And finally, the $8 billion home organization industry has more than doubled in size since the early 2000’s – growing a staggering rate of 10% each year.

I could go on, but it doesn’t take a ton of research to see we have more stuff than we know what to do with. As I drive around Hendricks County, I see more and more storage units being constructed to make room for all our stuff.

The problem is twofold, first, everything we buy takes both past labors to pay for it and future labor to maintain it (or store it). We simply run out of time to take care of everything we have. And second, all this stuff gets in the way to be able to see and properly maintain our homes.

When we perform a home inspection, we open the closet doors to make sure they function, look in cabinets under sinks to make sure there are no leaks and attempt getting to the electrical panel in the cluttered garage. It is amazing how many reports we must put “not inspected” because of all the stuff that prevents us from getting to different elements of the home. There is no better time than the present to declutter and organize. Here are some helpful starting points: • Start slow. If you are new to decluttering, dedicate just 5 minutes a day to the task and build momentum.

• Start Small. Pick a drawer, a countertop, a cabinet and work up to the larger areas.

• Give one item away each day. In a year that would be 365 things you no longer have to store. Just think if you moved it up to two items!

• Donate clothes you never wear. Tag all your hangers once a year. When You wear the garment remove the tag.

At the end of the year anything with a tag remaining goes to the Goodwill.

• Get help from a friend. Many times, we need both a set of fresh eyes to see what needs to go and the encouragement of a close friend to take on the task.

Maintaining our homes is much easier when stuff isn’t in our way. With less to maintain, we have more time to maintain the stuff we do have. Winter is coming and your car would really like to be inside before it snows. Don’t delay. Make decluttering a priority. You will save both time and money in the long run. ______________________________________________

New Surge in COVID Numbers in County Creates Controversy

By Melissa Gibson With the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 quickly approaching, many towns in Hendricks County had ceremonies and remembrance events scheduled. However, the majority of them have been cancelled due to the increase in COVID numbers and a goal to keep large gatherings to a minimum.

Ironically, what had the nation united and standing together in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, with nearly 3,000 killed and another 6,000 injured, 20 years later the nation is once again faced with an enemy but stand very much apart in the best way to handle it.

In Indiana, COVID is responsible for a reported 873,480 positive cases and more than 14,000 deaths according to the Indiana State Health Department as of Sept.

3. Also, as of Sept. 3, every county in the state has been moved to “red” according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), meaning there is a high transmission level of COVID cases.

In Hendricks County alone, weekly cases per 100,000 residents is approximately 411 and there is no question, numbers are rising.

Jane Forni, RN and infection preventionist at IU Health West Hospital said just like every other hospital in the state, numbers have been up.

“Compared to December of last year, we had a COVID consensus of 55.

This morning, our consensus was 43,” Forni said.

“As of Sept. 2, 86 percent of our COVID patients had JANE FORNI, RN not been vaccinated.”

Danny Brock, Health and Safety Chief at Brownsburg Fire Territory has also reported full hospitals and emergency situations in jeopardy due to full beds in local ER’s.

“We have people with major medical events going on that can’t get help at the hospital. We’re putting them on a helicopter in some situations and sending them over to Cincinnati,” Brock said. “You’re calling 911 for what’s presumably one of the worse days of your life. That first

hour may be in an ambulance as we try to get you to a hospital that is open for you. Our ambulances are stocked just like an ER and we have very knowledgeable people, but it’s not ideal.”

There seems to be a divide when it comes to getting vaccinations or wearing masks and without a clear directive or mandate from the CDC or other government officials, many are left doing what they believe is best for them.

When the best direction is only “suggested” or “recommended” much is left to interpretation.

Employers are asking themselves if a vaccine mandate is necessary and both state and federal governments are weighing in on everything from travel to mask mandates.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has stated in a pandemic or public health emergency, employers can require vaccinations, provided certain requirements are met, while some Americans argue they should have the right to decide if a vaccine is the right choice for them.

Schools are left fending for themselves. Faced with large numbers in absences due to COVID cases and contact tracing, staffing shortages and how best to keep students in school, delivering the best education possible.

Matt Steward served on the Danville School Corporation board for many years and today, is a Danville resident with one child in the school system.

“It’s a really difficult position to be in,” Steward said.

“You have to make science-based calls, and that’s not always what the healthcare industry will tell you. Avon’s numbers were skyrocketing due to six-foot contact tracing, Plainfield is requiring those 12 and under to wear a mask, Danville has not yet required masks but they’ll discuss it at the upcoming board meeting. I can see them having a strong discussion about the value of masks for K-5 and even K-12 with the governor’s new announcement to eliminate contact tracing if everyone is wearing a mask.”

“I understand from an economic standpoint, we have to start moving around more freely, but frankly, shame on the CDC when you’ve told everyone the mask is so important and then back off of that when the vaccine came along,” Steward continued.

The overall message received by many was to take the vaccine for the good everyone else, but that good intention led to what Steward says is a “knee jerk reaction”.

“The message many heard was ‘you don’t get the vaccine, you don’t care about other people’ and that made many want to fight against it,” Steward said.

Thousands rushed to receive the vaccines the moment it was available to them, yet others site a variety of reasons to not receive it.

“I hear everything from simple procrastination to family member influence to concern about FDA approval. Of course, now, the FDA has approved the vaccines and I hope that helps people make their decision,” Forni said. “I can tell you that no FDA approved vaccine has ever had long lasting side effects in the past. The risk of getting the vaccine is extremely low.”

Some have been advised by their physicians to not re Read, every day, something no one else is reading.

Think, every day, something no one else is thinking.

Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

ceive the vaccine due to other health related issues. Still others, are concerned about pregnancy and how the shot will affect an unborn fetus.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has stated they believe the vaccine is safe during pregnancy and even breastfeeding.

Even in the midst of controversy over a shot, the idea of wearing a mask is widely believed to protect yourself and others, though some argue about its necessity as well.

Perhaps the public is simply exhausted by the thought of going back to the way life was in 2020: masks, social distancing, no public gatherings and more.

“I think a lot of people have gone into information overload,” Brock said. “A natural defense to that is just to turn it off. We’re done listening. Much of it is politicized and some of it is just ignored.”

Regardless of where each individual falls in the mask and vaccination debate, Forni believes it truly comes down to each person managing their own risk.

“It’s a personal choice,” Forni said. “Personally, I would encourage people to get the vaccine. Getting COVID is worse than anything else. But we take risks all the time; when we drive a car, or whether or not to receive the flu vaccine. Each person needs to make the decision to protect themselves based on their physician’s recommendation and personal health. If you have any symptoms at all, you want to isolate yourself from others while you’re waiting for your test results. Know, so you don’t inadvertently spread the virus to other friends and family.”

Forni also suggested to lesson the strain on Emergency Rooms across the nation, individuals can visit vaccines. gov or call 211 for a local testing clinic. Many are coming into the ER for a COVID test, creating overcrowding and unnecessary exposure to those that test negative.

Sept. 11, 2001 threw the nation into turmoil but unity as well. Regardless of where we fall personally on the debate of masks and vaccinations, most importantly, protecting ourselves and others should take priority.

Videos in remembrance and recognition of Sept. 11, 2001 will be posted to the Town of Avon’s Facebook page and website, the Brownsburg Fire Territory Facebook page and website and the Town of Plainfield Facebook page and website.

• The Town of Amo will be hosting a memorial dinner from 5-10 p.m., Sept. 11 at the Amo Community Building.

Koorsen Makes Donation to CIK9

Create A Family Legacy Fund

Koorsen Fire & Security has made a donation to the Central Indiana K9 Association, Inc. (CIK9) The financial contribution of $5,000 is made to sponsor the kick-off event for the CIK9 Capital K9 Campaign. The campaign has a goal of raising $2 million for the construction of a permanent K9 Training Facility for law enforcement K9s and their handlers.

The Central Indiana K9 Association, Inc. serves 196 K9 teams across local, state, and national law enforcement agencies in the nine-county area comprising Central Indiana.

CIK9 was founded in 2019 to enhance training and care of Indiana’s active and retired K9 officers/Working Dogs and their handlers with a multi-jurisdictional plan.

The goals of the organization are to: ● Operate the Shadow Fund, a medical grant program to provide financial grants for the benefit of retired K9s ● Collaborate with multi-jurisdictional organizations to provide training opportunities for Central Indiana active K9s in service to communities ● Build a permanent training site to have classrooms, a large open bay building to assemble simulated houses, and a large, enclosed outside training areas for the K9s as well as provide assembly space for community residents ● Build a Working Dog Monument to honor all working dogs in Indiana “We are very pleased and excited to support the CIK9 Association as our mission is similar to their mission,” said Kelly Hoffman, Koorsen Fire & Security. “As a company, we believe proper training helps keep everybody safe. K9s and their handlers do amazing and brave work to keep us safe. I believe a training center designated for the dogs and their handlers is important and necessary going forward.”

The charity is completely funded through donations from individuals and organizations. CIK9 launched its Capital K9 Campaign to build the permanent training facility and the kick-off fundraising event, All Fore K9s, is being held October 3, 2021, at TOPGOLF in Fishers, Ind. Tickets are available at https://cik9.org/upcoming-events/ “Central Indiana K9 Association, Inc. is very proud to have Koorsen Fire & Security as the main sponsor of our fundraising event planned for Oct 3rd,” said Theresa Brandon, Co-Chair and Founder of Central Indiana K9 Association. Inc. Our capital K9 campaign called Building for a Safer Tomorrow is well reflected by the legacy of Koorsen Fire & Security, a family-operated Indiana business for 75 years.”

Building relationships and partnerships within the communities served by the K9 units, CIK9 leaders believe, not only informs citizens of the resources protecting their personal safety and property but creates and celebrates a stronger bond between community residents and law enforcement. ______________________________________________________________________

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.”

Rigdon Construction Supports Senior Services Provides CIK9 Association Information & Referral

Rigdon Construction will hold their third annual charity golf outing at Twin Bridges Golf Club in Danville. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Danville’s Rigdon Construction has held a charity golf event for the past two years, donating proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This year, their goal was to find an organization closer to home and landed on the Central Indiana K9 Association.

Since 2019, the CIK9 Association has been working 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.

The cost of a K9 in law enforcement can be quite high.

Each dog can cost approximately $10,000 and the training alone can require travel expenses, time away from the officer’s duty and participation expenses.

With no current training facility in the area, the CIK9 Association’s goal is to build and provide a facility that is cost effective and available for law enforcement in central Indiana and beyond.

The K9’s can also come with long-term after-care. After working in dangerous and highly physical situations throughout their lives, the K9’s often retire with major health concerns, a cost that lies with the handler until the end of their life.

“We liked the idea of helping out the K9’s,” said Nate Rigdon. “I think we’re like a lot of people and we’re big fans of our four-legged friends.”

The golf outing held on Sept 10 this year will include breakfast and lunch, a short awards ceremony and a demonstration with one of the many K9’s supported by CIK9 Association.

“The Central Indiana K9 Association is honored to have been selected by Rigdon Construction to be the recipients of their third annual charity golf outing. To have a local community business recognize our organization as worthy to receive their help as we work to raise the necessary funds to build a permanent training site for the nearly 200 K9 teams across Central Indiana is reaffirming. I’m grateful to Nate Rigdon and his team for their generosity.

For us, it’s all about the dogs,” said CIK9 co-founder Theresa Brandon.

The golf event is sold out; however, hole sponsors are still available for $250.

Rigdon Construction has been in business since 1995.

As a commercial construction management firm, Hendricks County residents can see their work at the Plainfield Aquatic Center, Avon United Methodist Church and Plainfield’s The Barlow apartments.

Jerome K. Jerome

You never know where you’ll see her (and her artwork) next! Mary McCartney-Jones is creating small works of art in some surprising cases.

Mary’s “muscleman” is part of the Creadtive Community Pathway project of the Downtown Danville Partnership.

The first installment of the project was a mural on the outside wall of Home Grown Salon on South Indiana street. Joining the pathway is a mural on the corner of South Jefferson and West Marion by Katie Pourcho, and Mary’s utility box bookcase on the southside of the court house.

Mary is a mixed media artist at Gallery on the Square. She lives in Jamestown and studied art at the John Herron Institue for two years. She has been drawing and painting for over 48 years and loves every minute of it. She does portraits, murals, barn quilts, stage props and scenery, and painting of clothing, floors, mailboxes and home furnishing.

She was commissioned by St. Vincent Hospital Stress Center to paint three murals. Her portrait of form I.U. Chancellor Herman B. Wells hangs in the Herman B. Wells Community Center at Lebanon High School.

She teaches art at the Sugar Creek Art Center in Thorntown.

In addition to talent, Mary has a delightful sense of humor that shows in her work around the square.

Council Hears Parking Study

Three residents signed up to give three minutes worth of comments at the September 1 meeting of the Danville Town Council.

Russell Browning had issues with some changes in the fee structure charges passed in 2020, especially the charge of $100 for law enforcement recordings. He thinks that is too high and should be reviewed the actual costs of that service. He also thought that council members need to ask more questions during meetings.

Karen Bembenek made her case for not establishing mask mandates/passports.

Anne Johannson, Executive Director of the Downtown Danville Partnership gave an update on activities surrounding the premier of the Mayberry Man. Code Enforcement Officer Blaine Rout requested removal of a damaged tree in the right-of-way at 210 W. Lincoln St., presenting a vision hazard for motorists. The Council voted to have the tree removed, and on advise of Counsel, seek advise from Duke Energy and obtain bids for removal.

Officer Rout then presented a parking study. He suggested potential approaches could include 1) metered parking; 2) increase parking space inventory; 3) create designated parking for alternative transportation (golf carts, bicycles, motorcycles, scooter, etc.)

He had been in contact with Municipal Parking Services, based out of Minnesota, about using license plate reader (LPR) technology. The system uses Sentry Safety Sticks to collect cloud-based parking date to report violations in automated format. The company would install the devices for free, and take half of the money collected in fines. Rout said the company offered a free 15-day trial of the system. After discussion the council declined the offer.

The Council did approve moving the date of the Town’s Holiday Luncheon to Friday, December 17. The event will take place at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds.

The Department of Public Works received permission to declare as surplus property the portable restroom unit and the backhoe damaged by fire last year so they can be sold or otherwise disposed of.

Public Hearing was conducted for the request for annexation of property at 1509 10th St. by Edith Sparks. No comments were received.

Ordinance 27-2021, reducing the speed limit on Meadow Drive, between Mackey Rd. and the termination of Meadow Drive, from 30 mph to 20 mph.

Policy changes were approved to amend the credit card policy; to increase the per diem offered employees for daily meals while attending overnight training; and to allow total reimbursement of the cost for CLD physicals for employees required to have them.

Capital Expenditure Requests were made and approved for: Dept of Public Works: $55,990 for 3 replacement salt spreaders.

Parks Director: $29,700 for gel coat, paint & repair on one of the pool slides; and $16,555.25 for replacement of a second pool slide. ______________________________________________

“Ask Rose” Adds Video Tutoring for Students

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. ______________________________________________

Helping the Homeless in Hendricks County, Minus Pangs of Guilt home caught on fire, a medical emergency brought the family finances to disaster level or major transportation issues caused job loss. One thing leads to another and before you know it, getting back on ones feet without help, becomes impossible.

Mindy Duckett with the Purdue Extension of Hendricks County serves on the Hendricks County Food Pantry Coalition board. She’s seen many reasons visitors come to the dozens of food pantries in the county.

“I don’t think the majority of people are taking advantage,” Duckett said. “Instead of making a judgement, I choose to think, we don’t know their story.”

Maybe the person is dealing with mental health issues, perhaps they have a criminal history that makes finding a job difficult, or perhaps they have dealt with trauma in the past and live with fear of not having enough food or the ability to provide for their family.

Panhandling can have legal repercussions in Hendricks County. _______________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson You see a man or woman standing in the median of a busy intersection. Their clothing might have holes or appear to be dirty.

They haven’t shaved and their skin is darkened by repeated days in the sun. They’re holding a sign, pleading for help or asking for food.

For many, our hearts go out to them.

What if one of our loved ones were hungary, cold or alone? The pang of empathy is often followed by thoughts of why.

Why have they not been able to get a job?

There’s a food pantry down the street. Are they not aware of the resources the county has available?

Talk with local food pantries, homeless assistance, law enforcement and they’ll each tell you – it’s complicated. Homelessness has a spectrum of definitions.

According to a 2017 study by Indiana University, 81 percent of Indianapolis homeless individuals reported they slept in a car, tent, bus station, abandoned building or other public place. Another 13 percent said they slept at a friends house or with relatives. The remaining people surveyed said they slept in a shelter or transitional housing program.

More than half of panhandlers reported they typically panhandled every day, for more than eight hours per day and more than 20 percent reported panhandling at least three to four times per week.

In 2018, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett announced a proposal to use $500,000 to address the city’s homelessness and panhandling issues which would increase police presence downtown. The other $250,000 would be given to those organizations that support homeless services and housing.

Hogsett’s goal was to “end chronic homelessness in five years.”

New restrictions and a focus on panhan-

dlers in the area may be the reason Hendricks County residents have noticed an increase in panhandlers on major roadways or in front of large shopping areas.

However, Avon Police Chief Sean Stoops says, unfortunately, what you see is not always the reality.

In the Town of Avon’s legal ordinance, Article 19, Section 6-282, it states that there are legal repercussions to panhandling within the town. Other Hendricks County towns have similar ordinances.

“In my experience, and from what others report in the department, we have never encountered a panhandler in the area with a legitimate need,” Stoops said. “We’ve offered resources and that typically makes them angry. We let them know they can’t panhandle in this area and we watch them walk across the street, get in a BMW and drive away. It’s unfortunate, but we’ve seen a lot of scams and fraud.”

In fact, profit from panhandling can range dramatically according to where the individual stands and how many hours they’re willing to work. While some are barely making enough to buy food for the day, many are earning more than minimum wage and still others, are finding the gig quite lucrative.

“You’re heart goes out to them. I still find myself wondering if this is the person that is the exception to the rule,” Stoops said. “That hasn’t been the case so far and we have fantastic resources in the county.”

Homelessness in Hendricks County is, in fact, an issue – they just aren’t standing on street corners.

In 2020, Family Promise of Hendricks County reported ending homelessness for 103 families, preventing homelessness for 601 families and offering stability services to 2,674 families.

They’re “couch surfing”, living doubled-up in a small, one-bedroom apartment or sleeping in their car. The family

Family Promise is just one of the many support systems in place to assist homeless and near homeless residents in the community. ______________________________________

Regardless of the situation, the resources available in Hendricks County are thriving and supported by community members and the Hendricks County Community Foundation.

The next time you see a panhandler on the street corner, perhaps just a list of resources in the area is a better gift than the change in your console.

Obituaries

Marjorie Pike Hendricks County Clerk

9-9-21-3T hspaxlp __________________________________

NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED AS FOLLOWS: 1. General Information In order to establish and maintain accountability for capital assets owned by the Town of North Salem, the Town of North Salem adopted this Capital Asset Policy effective September 1, 2021.

3. Valuation of Capital Assets Capital assets should be recorded at actual cost, if known. If the original cost is not known, an estimate should be made of the assets original cost. This valuation should be of the assets original or estimated original cost, not the current replacement cost of the asset.

Normally the cost recorded is the purchase price or construction costs of the asset, but also included is any other reasonable and necessary costs incurred to place the asset in its intended location and intended use, that can be directly related to the asset. Donated or contributed assets should be recorded at their fair market value on the date donated or acquired.

4. Asset Definitions by Major Category It is important to the maintenance of accurate records that each asset category be precisely defined and that all persons responsible for records maintenance be fully aware of the categorization system. This section further clarifies the asset definitions by major category.

Land, Easements and Right of Ways: Specified land, easements, right of ways, lots, parcels or acreage owned by the unit or its various departments, boards or authorities, regardless of the method or date of acquisition.

Improvements Other Than Buildings: Examples of unit assets in this category are walks, parking areas and drives, fencing, retaining walls, pools, fountains, planters, underground sprinkler systems, and other similar items.

Buildings: All structures designed and erected to house equipment, services, or functions are included.

This includes systems, services, and fixtures within the buildings, and attachments such as porches, stairs, fire escapes, canopies, areaways, lighting fixtures, flagpoles, and all other such units that serve the building. Plumbing systems, lighting systems, heating, cooling, ventilating and air handling systems, sprinkler systems, alarm systems, sound systems, and surveillance systems, passenger and freight elevators, escalators, built-in casework, walk-in coolers and freezers, fixed shelving, and other fixed equipment are included with the building, if owned. Communications antennas and/or towers are not included as buildings. These are parts of the equipment units that they serve.

Equipment: Equipment includes all other types of physical property within the scope of the Capital Asset Policy not previously classified. Included within this category are office mechanical equipment, office furniture, appliances, furnishings, machinery items, maintenance equipment, communication equipment, police, fire, sanitation and park department equipment, laboratory equipment, dogs, horses, vehicles, road equipment, aircraft, emergency equipment, earth moving equipment, text equipment, civil defense equipment, data processing equipment, and zoo wildlife. All supplies are excluded.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure assets are long-lived capital assets that normally can be preserved for a significant greater number of years than most capital assets and are normally stationary in nature. Examples include roads, bridges, sidewalks, street lights, traffic signals, street signs, drainage systems, and water systems. Infrastructure assets can include structures directly related to the infrastructure. Examples would include rest area facilities and road maintenance structures such as shops and garages associated with a highway system, and water pumping buildings associated with water systems.

Books and Other: Assets not easily classified by other categories may be classified as books and other.

5. Asset Transfers and Dispositions Property should not be transferred, turned-in for auction, or disposed of without prior approval of the appropriate department head. A Capital Asset Notification form should be sent to the Fiscal Officer in all cases. Invoices for new purchases will not be paid unless this form is attached. Deletions for any reason must be reported to the Fiscal Officer or his/her designee.

Transfers are defined as any movement of an asset by virtue of change in location, either by account, department, building, floor, or room. If an asset is stolen, the department head should ensure that a police report is promptly filed and that the police report be forwarded to the Fiscal Officer along with the Capital Asset Notification form.

6. Periodic Inventories A physical inventory of capital assets will be conducted by each department as near as practical to year-end. The fiscal officer will provide a list of the inventory on file which will be sent to each department before each year-end. The department heads will then compare physical observations of assets to the listing noting whether the assets exist, the location if not apparent otherwise, and other relevant factors. If the condition of an asset has deteriorated to the point its useful life has been impaired, that fact should be noted. Assets which are observed during the physical inventory which are not on the inventory list should be noted. Omission of assets included on the inventory list should also be noted, and the reasons for such omissions should be documented to the extent possible. Department heads will be accountable for the capital asset inventory charged to their department. The physical inventory sheet and related documentation will be forwarded to the fiscal officer who will compare the results of the physical inventory to the capital asset records and make necessary adjustments to the capital assets.

7. Depreciation Expense and Accumulated Depreciation Capital assets subject to depreciation will be depreciated annually on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each individual depreciable asset, or when the asset is disposed of, whichever occurs first. No depreciation will be taken in the year the depreciable asset is placed in service and a full year’s depreciation will be taken in the year an individual asset is disposed of or othe1wise placed out of service. Depreciation will accumulate each year the asset is in service. Accumulated depreciation will be limited to the original cost of each individual asset and annual depreciation expense will cease when an asset is fully depreciated, which is defined as the point accumulated depreciation equals the original cost of the asset. Certain assets such as land are not subject to depreciation. No depreciation will be taken in the years an asset is being constructed, defined as Construction-in-Progress.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS Sec. 1: If any provision of this Ordinance shall be held invalid, the invalidity thereof shall not affect any other provisions of this Ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision, and for this purpose the provisions of this Ordinance are hereby declared to be severable.

Sec. 2: All prior ordinances and North Salem Municipal Code provisions on this subject are hereby repealed to the extent they are inconsistent herewith. All prior ordinances and North Salem Municipal Code provisions on this subject that are not amended by this ordinance shall remain in full force and effect.

Sec. 3: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and publication as by law provided.

PASSED AND SO ORDAINED this 2nd day of September 2021.

The Petition for Adoption alleges that Dax Kelly Comer is the Biological Father of the minor Child; however, Dax Kelly Comer’s consent is not required as he has failed, without justifiable cause, to have significant contact with the Child; and he has knowingly failed, without justifiable cause, to provide for the care and support of the Child when able to do so as required by law or judicial decree for at least one (1) year and he is too unfit to be a parent to Blaine Karson Comer.

If Dax Kelly Comer seeks to contest the adoption of the Child, Dax Kelly Comer must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court not later than thirty (30) days after the date of service of this Notice.

If Dax Kelly Comer does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice, the above named court will hear and determine the Petition for Adoption. The consent to the adoption of Blaine Karson Comer will be irrevocably implied and Dax Kelly Comer will lose the right to contest either the adoption or the validity of Dax Kelly Comer’s implied consent to the adoption.

No oral statement made by the Petitioner relieves Dax Kelly Comer of his obligations under this notice.

This notice complies with IC 31-194.5-3, but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statues.

Bids may also be submitted electronically via PARITY® in accordance with this notice until 11:00 a.m. (EDT), but no bid will be received after the time for receiving bids specified above. To the extent any instructions or directions set forth in PARITY ® conflict with this notice, the terms of this notice shall control. For further information about PARITY ®, potential bidders may contact the District’s municipal advisor, Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC, at (317) 465-1500 or PARITY ® at (212) 849-5021. Each person who meets the foregoing registration requirements within the time required will be given notice of the actual sale of the Bonds not less than 24 hours before the date and time of the sale of the Bonds. The Financial Clerk of the District will notify (or cause to be notified) each person so registered of the final principal amount, maturity schedule, and the redemption provisions for the Bonds. Such schedule shall be sent not less than 24 hours before the date and time of sale.

The notification will be made by telephone at the number furnished by such person and by e-mail if an e-mail address has been received.

If a potential bidder has questions related to the District, the financing or submission of bids, questions should be submitted by email to bids@bakertilly.com no later than two days before sale by 11:00 a.m. (EDT). (The sale is anticipated to occur on September 23, 2021).

To the best of the District’s ability, all questions will be addressed and sent to potential bidders, including any bidders requesting 24 hours’ notice of sale, no later than two days prior to sale by 5:00 p.m. (EDT time). Additionally, upon request, the written responses will be emailed to any other interested bidder. Bidders should review this notice as well as the official statement and submit any questions in advance of this deadline to submit questions.

Bids for the Bonds will not be received more than 90 days after the first publication of this Notice of Intent to Sell the Bonds. The minimum purchase price shall not be less than the par value (100) of the Bonds. The Bonds will bear interest at a rate or rates not to exceed 4% per annum (the exact interest rate or rates will be determined by bidding). Interest will be payable on January 1, 2022 and semiannually thereafter on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Interest will be calculated on the basis of twelve, thirty-day months for a 360 day year. The Bonds will be dated the date of delivery thereof and will mature or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption semiannually on January 1 and July 1, commencing no earlier than January 1, 2022 and maturing no later than July 1, 2042, on the dates and in the amounts in the schedule as will be available at least 24 hours before the sale. The District reserves the right to restructure the maturities to achieve level debt service after the sale of the Bonds.

A bid may designate that a given maturity or maturities shall constitute a term bond, and the annual amounts set forth in the schedule provided by the District prior to the sale shall constitute the mandatory sinking fund redemption requirements for such term bond or bonds.

For purposes of computing net interest cost, the mandatory redemption amounts shall be treated as maturing on the dates set forth in the schedule provided by the District prior to the sale.

Principal is payable at the office of a registrar and paying agent to be selected by the District. Interest shall be paid by check or mailed to the registered owners or by wire transfer to depositories. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form.

The Bonds are redeemable at the option of the District in whole or in part in such order of maturity as determined by the District and by lot within a maturity not earlier than July 1, 2031, on 30 days’ notice, at face value without any premium, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.

Each bid, including bids submitted via PARITY®, must be for all of the Bonds and must state the rate or rates of interest in multiples of 1/8 or 1/20 of 1%. Any bids specifying two or more interest rates shall also specify the amount and maturities of the Bonds bearing each rate, but all Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same single interest rate. The award will be made to the best bidder complying with the terms of sale and offering the lowest net interest cost to the District, to be determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds to their maturities and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, and adding thereto the discount bid, if any. Although not a term of sale, it is also requested that each bid show the net dollar interest cost to final maturity and the net effective average interest rate on the entire issue.

No conditional bid or bid for less than 100% of the par value of the Bonds will be considered. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids.

If no satisfactory bids are received at the time and on the date fixed for the sale, the sale will be continued from day to day thereafter, without further advertisement for a period of 30 days during which time no bid which provides a higher net interest cost to the District than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale will be considered.

Each bid not submitted electronically must be on a customary bid form, which shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope addressed to the District and marked on the outside “Bid for West Central Conservancy District Sewage Works Revenue and Refunding Bonds of 2021”.

Bidders may change and submit bids as many times as they wish during the sale, but they may not withdraw a submitted bid. The last bid submitted by a bidder prior to the deadline for the receipt of bids will be compared to all other final bids to determine the winning bid.

During the sale, no bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (e.g. whether their bid is a leading bid).

At the request of the District, the successful bidder (“Purchaser”) is required to submit to the District a good faith deposit (“Deposit”) in the form of a certified or cashier’s check (or wire transfer) in the amount of $406,350* not later than 3:30 p.m. (EDT) on the next business day following the award. If requested and such Deposit is not received by that time, the District may reject the bid. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds. In the event the Purchaser fails to honor its accepted bid, any Deposit will be retained by the District as liquidated damages.

It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute failure or refusal by the successful bidder therefor to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall hereafter attach to the District or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP identification numbers on the Bonds shall be paid for by the District; provided, however that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of such numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the successful bidder. The successful bidder will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the resale of the Bonds.

The successful bidder shall make payment to the financial institution selected as Registrar and Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the Bonds and accept delivery thereof from the Paying Agent within five days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at such place in the West Central Conservancy District as the successful bidder may designate. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within 45 days after the date of sale. If the District fails to have the Bonds ready for delivery prior to the close of banking hours on the 45th day after the date of sale, the bidder may secure the release of its bid upon request in writing, filed with the District. The successful bidder is expected to apply to a securities depository registered with the SEC to make such Bonds depository-eligible.

The unqualified approving opinion of Taft Stettinius & Hollister, LLP, Bond Counsel, Indianapolis, Indiana, together with a transcript of proceedings related to the issuance of the Bonds, printed bond forms with the legal opinion printed thereon, and closing papers in the usual form showing no litigation questioning the validity of the Bonds, will be furnished to the successful bidder at the expense of the District.

All action has been taken and the Bonds are issued in compliance with the provisions of applicable Indiana law. The Bonds will be secured by a bond resolution (the “Bond Resolution”) adopted by the Board of Directors of the District and will be subject to the terms and provisions of the Bond Resolution.

The Bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness of the District within the meaning of the provisions and limitations of the constitution of the State of Indiana, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Bond Resolution. Interest on the Bonds is exempt from all income taxation in Indiana. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings, the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.

The District has prepared or will prepare a Preliminary Official Statement relating to the Bonds, which it has deemed or will deem to be a Nearly Final Official Statement. A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement may be obtained from the District’s municipal advisor or from www.muniplatform.com/offering.

All provisions of the bid form and Preliminary Official Statement are incorporated herein. As set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement, the winning bidder agrees by submission of its bid to assist the District in establishing the issue price of the Bonds under the terms outlined therein and shall execute and deliver to the District at closing an “issue price” certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the winning bidder, the District and Bond Counsel.

Within seven days of the sale, the District will provide the successful bidder with up to 5 copies of the Final Official Statement at the District’s expense. Additional copies, at the purchaser’s expense, must be requested within five business days of the sale.
