Prairie Maze at McCloud

It happens only once every 17 years, so McCloud Nature Park in honors the cicada this year with the McCloud Prairie Maze!

These periodical insects spend most of their lives a foot or two underground eating sap from tree roots. Then, in the spring of their 17th year, mature nymphs emerge from the ground by the billions over select parts of the eastern United States, shed their exoskeleton, and inflate their wings for their brief stage as an adult.

The adult male cicadas fill the air with calls for a mate, using tymbals on each side of their abdomens to create the high-pitched sound. Their songs are answered by the adult females with a clicking of their wings. The result is a loud symphony that lasts about three to four weeks. Four to six weeks after emerging from the ground, the insects die.

Cicadas look like some sort of alien, but they don’t bite or sting or carry disease. They are actually good for the environment! Cicadas aerate the ground when they emerge, they are a plentiful food source for a wide variety of birds and animals, and their carcasses enrich the soil with nutrients as they decompose.

Celebrate the 2021 cicadas with a trip through the cicada-themed prairie maze. Be sure to dress for the weather, wear comfortable closed-toe shoes, and bring some water.

Bring the nymphs, too, as this maze is appropriate for all ages!

Admission to McCloud Nature Park and the prairie maze is absolutely FREE, and both are open from dawn to dusk daily. To access the prairie maze, park in the Nature Center parking lot. Maps to the maze are available in the kiosk outside of the Nature Center, as well as in the kiosk at the entrance to the maze.

McCloud Nature Park is located at 8518 Hughes Road, North Salem.

Make sure to explore the McCloud Prairie Maze by October 31 because after that, we won’t see a Brood X cicada again until 2038! ______________________________________________

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: “Danville Doings” of January 12, 1882, reported Court Week had livened up the town.

Sleigh bells had been heard day and night during the snow. “Pretty well authenticated” rumors of wife beating led The Republican to threaten publishing the identity of “the guilty brute” if it happened again.

Someone “with a strong proclivity to kleptomania” was stealing coal and firewood on the town’s “west end.” The Republican warned, “somebody’s stove may be expected to explode.”

Anyone not getting vaccinated was “not only contrary to the order of the Board of Health, but is entirely out of style.”

I believe that would be the smallpox vaccination.

A town dressmaker reportedly was coming out with a new style of dress “with a loop in the sleeve called the ‘vaccination flow,’ which is intended to accommodate what is supposed to be a sore arm.”

A sore arm is a minor inconvenience compared to a good case of smallpox (a variola virus), which disfigured, blinded and even killed. Three out of every 10 infected died.

Some time ago, I premised that if the smallpox vaccination had only in recent times become available, some would reject it, just as with the Covid vaccination today, particularly given social media influencer exertions. However, I did not expect a similar rejection back then.

But in mid-1886, Henry Bergh announced smallpox, cancers, tumors “and other forms of disease” were caused by vaccination.

Bergh founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He also had a hand in preventing cruelty to children. I found nothing in that influencer’s background to support his anti-vaxxer claim.

Neighboring Illinois reported the “malignant” disease had reached “alarming proportions,” across 48 counties in January 1882. The state’s board of health, “pushing matters vigorously,” had managed to get the public to “generally vaccinate.”

That adverb could apply to today’s situation. Some will, some won’t.

Half a million Illinois schoolchildren had been vaccinated in 35 days.

I found surprising parallels. In January 1882, a Cumberland, Maryland, woman contracted smallpox. She was quickly quarantined. The news spread and “there is as much excitement as if the ten plagues of Egypt and a threatened Red Sea drowning were imminent.”

Patient Zero could not be found; he could have been a contaminated railcar seat.

The city council required everyone to be vaccinated, reasoning preventive rather than remedial care was less costly and far less injurious to the local economy.

An ordinance authorized doctors to vaccinate anyone without proof of vaccination, and to charge them a quarter. Other laws already were in place, including provisions for those without that quarter.

Refusal to be vaccinated triggered fines of $5-$10.

Two months later, the virus scare affected Noblesville business “of all sorts.”

The Rainstown correspondent reported in May 1883 that some young men who had taken to visiting Lizton “with a regularity which was remarkable” now avoided it “with a willingness which is comical . . .

“It is all right, boys, to be afraid of the smallpox which now prevails at our neighboring village.”

Amo was blamed for the June 1883 “base falsehood” rumoring that Pecksburg’s vicinity had a case of smallpox.

The Brown Township trustee advised in December 1881 that “wholesale vaccination” should occur during the schools’ holiday adjournment. The month before, Earlham College in Richmond was closed due to the virus.

Bellville reported “the vaccination squirm goes wriggling along” in January 1882.

Vaccination reactions, “some seriously,” occurred in Hadley in March 1882. Meanwhile, farmers claimed they could not furnish butter, despite calls for it.

That month, “a writer on vaccination” avowed that smallpox could be “entirely driven from the face of the earth by vaccination, revaccination, and re-revaccination at proper times.”

Addison Coffin of Hadley was more concerned with soul sickness in July 1885. “Do the parents of Hendricks County want their children educated under the influences of evolutionary atheism and the soul-destroying virus of natural religion?”

Annie’s Project Prepares Urban Farm Women

Farm women are generating a cultural tide in American agriculture that is moving management, assets, and opportunities to a new wave of farmers across the country.

During Annie’s Project courses, urban agriculture women entrepreneurs become empowered to be better business partners or sole operators through networks and by managing and organizing critical information.

Annie’s Project: Farming in Indiana’s Cities and Urban Fringe, a six-week course, is a discussion-based workshop bringing women together to learn from experts in urban ag production, financial management, human resources, marketing, and the legal field. There’s plenty of time for questions, sharing, reacting, and connecting with presenters and fellow participants. It’s a relaxed, fun, and dynamic way to learn, grow, and meet other women urban farmers.

Whether new or experienced, understanding the five areas of agricultural risk, knowing how to analyze agricultural spreadsheets, and other necessary skills are vital. Learning them in a friendly environment where questions and discussion are welcomed, allow the learning process to flourish.

Annie’s Project courses have successfully reached more than 9,000 farm and ranch women in 33 states. Purdue Extension is pleased to be offering classes beginning October 5th – November 9th, 2021 on Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm – 9:00pm EST. The program will be offered around the state at various locations. The local site for this area will be at the Mooresville Public Library. Jeff Pell at jpell@purdue.edu and Michele Jones at jonesm@purdue. edu are the local contacts for this program.

The cost for the in-person course is $67 per person, which includes a workbook and support materials for all sessions. We recommend registering early. Registration ends at 11:59pm EST on September 27th, 2021. Register at < https://cvent.me/WYgrYW >.

An alumna of Annie’s Project: Farming in Indiana’s Cities and Urban Fringe have said, “I signed up for Annie’s Project to network but also to understand the risks these farmers take on. It was a very great experience and I hope to do it again in the future!”

Information booths will be available at the recovery festival. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson One in five individuals will experience a mental health crisis in their lifetime and 45 million Americans have experienced addiction or know someone who has.

September is Recovery Awareness Month and Brownsburg’s Willow Center is hoping to spread awareness about the stigma surrounding addiction and substance abuse disorder but also to celebrate those in recovery.

“Recovery is indeed possible. It doesn’t have to be a death sentence,” said Chase Cotton, Community Director of The Willow Center. “Through hard work, therapy and medications, it can happen. One of the myths about recovery is that you can’t have fun anymore. There’s a loss of what you felt was friendChase Cotton, Community ships and camaraderie, but Director of the Willow Center. the opposite of addiction is ________________________ connection.”

That connection will be in full force at the recovery festival.

Nine other community partners will be present at the event, to celebrate but also to share resources.

Parents of Addicted Loved Ones, WayMaker Recovery Home, Sheltering Wings, Care to Change Counseling, Hendricks Behavioral Hospital, Hendricks County Substance Abuse Task Force, Mental Health America of Hendricks County, Hamilton Center and Family Promise will offer resources, information and support to attendees.

Explore Night Sky at McCloud

Learn to observe objects in the deep night sky above McCloud Nature Park!

On Saturday, September 22, 8 - 10 p.m., the Indiana Astronomical Society will present a brief informational session, rain or shine, describing the celestial objects to be observed, followed by outdoor stargazing under clear skies only. Learn to use the powerful telescopes provided to share, or bring your own.

Recommended for ages 6 through adult This program is FREE to attend, and no advance registration is required.

For more information,visit hendrickscountyparks.org

Cindy Whyde, CEO and Founder of Way Maker, a sober-living home in Plainfield, will receive the 2021 Recovery Advocate of the Year award.

Live music will be provided by Chad Mills, Anneliese and Ali and Keller and Cole. Food by Chef Dan’s and PaPaw’s Ice Cream will be on site.

Several handmade good vendors will also be present, spanning from paintings, woodwork, jewelry and more.

“The heart and core of the festival is to reduce stigma.

If you’re considering recovery, this is the place you belong. You can be yourself. We have tons of people ready and willing to provide resources and if you’re in active addiction, you’ll find support,” Cotton said. “We also want you to know you are valued members of our community.”

The Willow Center is celebrating nine years in existence and offers individual, family and group programming for substance abuse and mental health.

They recently launched a new volunteer program that allows those in recovery as well as members of the community to give back and help remove the stigma that follows addiction.

Motivation mentors can get paired with new clients, just beginning their journey and offer support and encouragement through regular meetings. Another volunteer opportunity includes sharing stories on social media about hope, recovery and more.

The Recovery Festival will be 5-9 p.m. Sept. 18 at Arbuckle Acres Park in Brownsburg. Bring a lawn chair.

Tickets are $10 per person and children 12 and under are free.

North Salem

Local & Social Ron Kneeland back on the job Wednesday! Keeps an eye out for boys and girls and school busses and all the people in the town.

Thanks, Ron, we appreciate you.

Ray’s Trash men out doing a great job. See them checking twice to be sure they don’t miss anyone.

Thanks, guys, you do a great job.

Thought we were going to get a rain today, but so far none. Went ahead and watered the new lilac bush and some of the flowers.

The garden and strawberry patch, Rick already mowed over. Looks much better.

Lots of sunflowers still standing. Don’t know if they have any seeds left in the middle. Know a squirrel actually ate all the seeds on the very large sunflower.

Probably enough to do him/ it all winter. _____ Hardships of Days Gone Past Wash day on Monday: Poor Mom, with five children and a hard-working husband. Come Monday morning we had to gather up all our dirty clothes and unmake our beds, sorted loads - about ten. Wash machine and two rinse tubs were moved into the kitchen.

First we had to carry the water from outside, heat it on the big cook-stove, fill washer and two tubs.

Clothes: whites were first, then followed by other cloches, etc., to the work clothes. After removing we would wring out and carry out to clothesline and hand clothes to dry - two long lines. When first clothes were dry, bring them in and keep the lines full with more clothes. Bed clothes were folded to be put back on beds. More clothes dry, take down and add more by then, dinner of beans a cornbread was a normal meal - yummy!

And this was done until all clothes were washed.

Then we had to carry water back out, put washer and tubs away and possibly ironed a few things. What needed to be starched and ironed would be rolled up and put in refrigerator for ironing the next day. Then, there was supper to prepare. Sorry, Mom in heaven for all our complaints.

You were a jewel and never complained.

Today’s women, most have to work outside their homes to have enough income to pay for food, housing and all our modern necessities! ______ Hope last week’s notes were not too boring. Kinda

repeated in places. Sorry - better luck next time. It was a very busy week.

Don’t forget if you want to walk the halls and floors of the old North Salem Elementary building before its demolition you are welcome to on THursday, September 30, form 6 0 7:30 p.m. All past and present students, faculty welcome.

Brings back many memories of so many.

The building was such a blessing to students in old North Salem High School - which had no rest rooms - to use the facilities in this building.

It was a great building one we were all very proud of. new additions have been added to other parts of the elementary building. ______ A busy week for all, resting and catching up from Old Fashion Days. It was a huge success. Thanks to everyone for your help and being here. We appreciatae all. _____ Thanks to Ginny and Jerry Vornholt for the delicious dinner Wednesday eveing. Jerry gave a tribute to Betty Bartley for her dedicated work on th epaper and to the others participating in its publication.

Good food and visiting and fellowship enjoyed by all. _____ Yes, we had wind and more wind - sat on porch waint for tree tops to topple. If they didn’t on Saturday and Sunday, I think they’re here to stay.

Riley Chaney reports they are already selling firewood. Everyone thinks we will have an early fall-winger. Know crops are already finished. Will be havested early ­_____ On Sunday, Sept. 5, Melani Macy and Lori Ashby had a Birthday Brunch for their Mother, Barb Oliver. Also guests were Lisa Mosley, Dane and Ethan Macy and Hubby, Jim. There was quite a choiceof quiches, sausage gravy and biscuits, fruit salad, monkey brad,and blueberry muffins, orange/pineapple punch to drink. It was treat time of stories, laughter, an Birthday surprises. Barb was spoiled with several nice gifts and as usual, they had a couple of “family heirlooms” (Humorous, not so beautiful gifts).

The girls returned Saturday to have Perillo’s for lunch and continued their catching up (never enough time for Mothers and daughters to say it all!

LOL) ______ Missy Raymond in Georgia misses so many of her friends in North Salem.

She loved visiting with all.

We miss you, too, Missy.

Hummingbirts still around and yellow finches enjoyint the sunflowers.

Everythng drying up but so beautiful and welcoming out. Jenny, Buddy and I couild sit outdoors all day (we almost do, sometimes, People are so happy and friendly going by.

(or Purdue) or whatever their choice.

Good kids.

Get well wishes to many. Hope everyone gets rested up and feeling better.

Think hot-humid weather took a lot out of everybody.

Good to see Billy Tyson out after a lot of sick days this summer. Also glad to have sisters Joyce Larmer and Jane Bernehart out walking or riding their pretty bicycles. They shared somuch of theire garden produce with others.

Hope John and Dixie Harnishfeger have a good report from their vet on their Lab dog, Jackson.

Fred and Blanch were such caring people. Sometimes theywould have Dottie and Leonard’s three boys and Gene and my Kevin and Karen at the same time..

You could go up there and they would have all five around the table, eating. Fred always walked to town and sometimes he would have my Kevin (litted three-year-old or so) on his back, carrying him.

Vandalia Trail – Amo to Coatesville...and Beyond

Mike Neilson, longtime Danville High School teacher and longtime hunting enthusiast is sharing his hunting experience with our readers.

He’s also shared his knowledge in three books, Available on Amazon. com.

By Jackie Horn

Back at the end of June while my daughter’s family was visiting, we loaded up the bikes, cart, and kids and rode the Vandalia Trail from Amo to the Hendricks/Putnam county line.

(The account appeared in the July 8th issue of The Republican.) The family enjoyed the ride which was slightly over eight miles round trip. It was just long enough to be challenging for the adults but not so difficult for the younger set.

Sometimes, you want something a little more...adult, a little more adventurous, and without the children. This past week John and I rode the route again, alone.

Packing the bikes into the van, we again drove to the Vandalia Trailhead in Amo. The day was sunny and warm, bordering on hot. Remembering our first trip, we recalled a large section of the trail was shaded. We were counting on that to make the ride bearable. With sunscreen and full water bottles, we took off west toward Coatesville.

Travel Hunting - Part 1

0ther bikers – Lavonna Mayo (left) and Candi Harris of Plainfield take a minute to chat while riding the Vandalia Trail from Amo.

______________________________________________ The path continued to pass in and out of shade provided by a tunnel of trees. When the trees were absent, it was bordered by corn and soybean fields and lined with blooming wildflowers. At about the six-mile mark, the trail took a turn in a cluster of trees. I was hot and petering out.

John wanted to continue to the town of Fillmore. I was content to sit in the shade and wait while he pressed on.

Fifteen minutes or so later, John returned to report that he had made it as far as CR 625 E at the edge of Fillmore before turning around. He assured me I hadn’t missed anything exciting as the trail continued to be a gravel track between fields. As we sat in the shady grove so John could cool down and recuperate, we were joined by another pair of cyclists also taking the Vandalia from Amo to Fillmore.

For such a lovely day, the path was fairly deserted. We had encountered only three other pairs of riders. After a few minutes of exchanging tales of our experiences on the trail, we continued on our way.

This trail ride included a refreshment stop at Dawnn’s Diner at Coatesville ___________________________________________________

The route was just as enjoyable as it had been in June.

This time we stopped on the bridge over Crittenden Creek to take a peek at the water and admire the view. Mounting up, we continued to Coatesville station where we stopped for a quick drink. Once again on the trail, we made it to the Hendricks/Putnam County Line...and blew right past it!

Without a real goal in mind, John and I continued to pedal westward. At the county line, the paved bicycle path maintained by Hendricks County Parks turns to crushed limestone in Putnam County. The riding surface isn’t awful but it does become noisy. Any conversation between us stopped as it was necessary to shout to be heard over the crunching gravel.

Arriving in Coatesville, we realized it was past lunchtime.

John and I were hot, thirsty, and HUNGRY. During our first ride in June, we’d spied Dawnn’s Diner a block off the trail on the corner of Milton and Main Streets. It seemed like as good a time as any to try it out. We were not disappointed! The owners were friendly and the Reuben sandwich was amazing.

After a filling meal and a little socializing, we were back on the bikes and returning to the Amo trailhead. I had logged twelve miles. John, with his extra push to Fillmore, had fourteen.

The Vandalia Trail has become John and my favorite place to ride. It winds through scenic farmland and woods with few road crossings. Only one, SR 75 outside Coatesville, has much traffic and it has a flashing caution light/crossing signal. We’re looking forward to riding this route again in the autumn. With the trees changing color, the views promise to be gorgeous!

I recently returned home from a very successful guided pronghorn antelope and mule deer hunt in south-central Wyoming. Prior to the hunt, I needed to make the decision whether to drive to my area or fly. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and I’ll try to highlight those in this essay. If you are a DIY (Do It Yourself) hunter, you are driving so disregard this tome and carry on.

Let’s start with flying to your hunting destination. The greatest advantage is the time savings, especially the further you must go to reach your hunting camp. My Wyoming trip would have taken 6 hours flying one way including one transfer in Denver, a plane change and an hour layover. Another advantage is that you don’t usually arrive already tired to your destination, a definite perk when hunting.

Flying isn’t without its own disadvantages. First you may not be able to fly exactly to your final destination.

You might also have multiple layovers and may even have to change airlines or even worse, change airports! Another disadvantage is that once you get to the airport, you need to find your way to camp so either the outfitter/guide needs to fetch you or you need to rent a vehicle. Sometimes the cost of picking up a hunter is included in the price of a hunt, other times not. Read into that, you might incur additional expenses.

Check with your insurance agent when renting a vehicle to see what type of coverage you already have. Car rentals are notorious for gouging renters so be prepared and educated. Finally, you might have to overnight before arriving at camp so you could also incur the cost of a room plus possibly the cost of a ride to the hotel.

Third, you are somewhat limited in what gear you can take. Each airline has its own rules and pricing structure concerning baggage and sporting equipment. Be sure your gun or bow case meets the airlines requirements and TSA’s as well. Your daypack will qualify as your carry-on so your binoculars, cameras, medication and other important items and paperwork travel in here. (No knives, blades, handguns or ammunition please!) The more bags you pack, the higher your costs and the logistics of getting to and from home.

Fourth, flight delays or cancellations can be trip killers.

Nothing sours a good hunt worse than missing a connecting flight or bags that come up missing. I’ve had my fair share of flight problems but those don’t frustrate me nearly as flying home with perishable meat and then getting a delay. Missing bags aren’t usually the end of the world unless the missing bag happens to be your weapon of choice.

I’ve had duffle bags come up missing but (knock on wood) I’ve never had a bow or gun case go MIA. And don’t forget about transportation to and from the airport. Is somebody going to drop you off, or will you leave a vehicle at the airport?

Lastly, let’s look at costs. On my recent Wyoming trip, the flight to Denver and a connecting city wasn’t bad and the time was reasonable. Baggage costs were about $100 for the bow and a duffle bag. Coming home, I was hoping that I’d be bringing back some trophies and some meat and was willing to pay for that privilege. However, the cost of renting a vehicle was just too high. I was looking at over $1,000 just to rent the least expensive vehicle for the week, that was more than double the cost of my flights.

Add the expense of all my gear and gas plus possibly additional insurance and the costs were just too steep to justify a flight.

Next Week: Hunting on the Road - Traveling by Car ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy Archy seemed in unusually high spirits.

“Yes, you might say bubbly,” he laughed. “We squirrels were entertained by the humans at Fair on the Square over the weekend.

Both days the southwest corner of the court house yard was a sea of bubbles as children tried out the different wands being sold by one of the vendors.

“The looks on their faces,” the squirrel gave a toothy grin. “You rarely see that joy of discovery on people’s faces these days.”

I tried to remember those times when I had that look on my face. When it snowed for the first time of the season, when I watched a just-born calf get up on its wobbly legs, when I was driving at night and pretending to chase the moon.

“The bubbles came up into the trees where we were watching,” Archy recalled “Sometimes they would rest on a branch just before they burst....”

“Like they felt glad to be home...” I finished his thought.

Archy’s face turned solemn. “Why do so many of your kind dismiss the wonders of nature and spend so much time complaining about science. It’s all the same thing you can use science to find beauty, the same as using poetry or painting. It’s just another means of communication.”

A minute passed, then Archy said, “What you need is a new Enlightenment. Why don’t you start one? An age of reason would come in handy right about now.”

Once again, the squirrel was right. ____________________________________________

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

4: After a day of sun, move the onions into a sheltered, shady spot (under a tree, on a covered porch, or in a garage, Spread them out one by one. (don’t clean off the onions yet.!!!) Let them dry, dirt and all, until the stems turn brown and brittle. The rest period allows the onions to go deeper into dormancy.

Rainy weather? cure your onions in a garage or basement, but turn them over a couple times a week to ensure even drying. Use a fan. Onions like it warm (75°F to 80°F) but breezy. Remember give them shade and have plenty of air circulation around the bulbs. It’s best to lay them out with no crowding. - No heaping all your onions into a basket yet.

“Cure your onions”

You want your onions dry, dry, dry to store over winter.

Follow these steps: 1: Wait for ¾ of plants to fall over before you start harvesting. (You can help by bending them above the bulb;) it is the signal for the onion to enter dormancy.

2: Stop watering your onions before you harvest. It will take 7-14 days for them to finish maturing. (Withholding water keeps onions from rotting).

3: Pull or dig out: On a dry day, carefully pull each onion out by the bulb, or dig around to lift the bulb from the soil. (if you grab the weakened stem, it may pull off entirely—that’s not good to store. Lay onions out on ground or a sunny area for two days to dry out roots.

5: Trim the onions. trim the roots and cut off the stems once onion tops and roots have fully dried. #6: Best to Store onions in a dry, dark, and airy space. you may use nylon mesh bags, wire or wicker baskets, milk crates, or burlap sacks. Ideally, keep them just above freezing but below room temp. #7: Cure tiny onions -plant them next year Mild onions are large and juicy with thick rings. They’re sweet enough to eat raw! make great onion rings too. Cured mild onions won’t last more than two to three months. You better eat those first.

Pungent onions, ones that make you cry when you cut them, can keep as long as six months or even up to a year!

Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.

A Bark From the Past: Henry

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

I really look up to the humans who make us pets feel better. It can’t be easy figuring out what’s wrong when you can’t understand what your patients are saying. Those special humans must really love animals to want to be vets. I know that Dr. Howard loves me and all my brothers and sisters from the way he talks to us and touches us when we see him. His is very kind. His hands and arms are covered with little scars from scratches and bites. I guess he really must love animals to keep doctoring them, even when they don’t appreciate it.

When I lived in Nebraska at Hearts United for Animals, I had a broken hip. The humans at the vet school in Kansas fixed it. And they did a really good job! I can run and play like all my brothers and sisters. My left back leg always stands on tippy-toe, but it works. I owe a lot of licks to the animal doctors who have kept me healthy.

I heard about a black Lab called Max who lives in Looeyville. One day, Max got out of the yard and was a long way from home when he was hit by a car. He was hurt, but he ran away. Somebody who knew Max saw it happen, and he called Max’s human. They looked for him for a long time, but they couldn’t find him. Max’s human called his vet to let him know that they would bring Max is as soon as they found him. But Max was already there!

That’s where he went when he ran away—to his vet!

I don’t know if I’d be able to get to Dr. Howard’s by myself if I got hurt. It’s a long way from our house and there are lots of busy streets with lots of cars. I might get hurt worse than I was to start with!

The thing humans have to remember is that when we animals feel sick, we do our best to hide it. Especially us dogs, who come from animals that live in packs. If a wolf seems weak, he will be driven out of the pack. So, we don’t show it if we feel bad. Always watch your pet really close. Even little changes in how he acts can mean that something is wrong.

While he was doing my last check-up, Dr. Howard told my human that sometimes people wait until it’s too late to bring in their pets. That’s so sad! We love our humans.

We protect them. We work for them. We want to stay close to them. We don’t ask much in return. Love us, feed us, and take care of us. That’s not too much to ask. Is it?

A Note From Bee So many of my stories are quite old. That is because I am quite old. I will be 82 in November 2021.

I had been making meatballs for probably 20 years. I got the recipe from my sister. We call them Aunt Marcia’s meatballs. Everybody loves them and asks for the recipe. My husband, Jim and I were going to our first Senior Ciitizens lunch at the Christian Church in Brownsburg.

They have a pitch - in. I decided I’d take the meatballs. I put the crockpot on the floor in the back seat of our van.

I put a towel down under the crockpot in case of spills. I should have put the crockpot in a box. I would pay for this mistake later. We made it about a mile when Jim turned into a parking lot. Over went the crockpot. It seemed like there were meatballs everywhere. I remembered the package said 76 to be exact.

Forget the lunch. We turned out and went home to clean up the mess. We were able to clean up the floor mats with no obvious barbecue stain. Oh No! Then we noticed sauce oozing from underneath the front console.

Jim was sure that all the wiring was ruined. We called Dugan Chevrolet and they said bring the car right over.

Fortunately the wiring was not ruined. We held our breath when we went to pay the cashier. It was only $42. For about a month the car had a slight barbecue smell. We also changed the name of the meatballs to $42 meatballs.

Productive Struggle: What It Is and Why Every Child Needs to Experience It Think back to a time when completing a challenging task that required you to read and follow every step to perfection in order to achieve success, like assembling IKEA furniture or doing your taxes. Chances are your brain automatically utilized some pretty specific reading behaviors.

Maybe you read all the directions before you started to get an overall scope of the process. As you began, you probably reread certain steps multiple times. When your brain sensed frustration, you might have taken a break (or someone suggested it once the curse words became audible enough for the kids to hear!).

Without realizing it, you use many of the same strategies your children are taught at school: reread, stay focused, take breaks, monitor for meaning. The point is, because you wanted to complete the task successfully, you used your reading strategies, but also your perseverance to power through until you were satisfied, even if you experienced frustration along the way. You were motivated to put your new nightstand together or to get your taxes done.

Reading strategies don’t work if a child isn’t motivated to work hard. Many students lack experience with perseverance. They haven’t been asked to complete challenging tasks from start to finish, making perseverance an unknown feeling. And we all know that when feelings are new, they are often overwhelming. It doesn’t mean kids are lazy… it means they haven’t practiced this life skill yet.

Engage your child in opportunities for what educators call productive struggle. Essentially, this is when a task is challenging, and requires grit to continue. If the child perseveres during a hard task (either mentally or physically), they will be rewarded when success is reached. We adults know that, but only because we’ve experienced it over and over. Children often haven’t.

Carol Dweck, author of the best selling book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success writes “If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can teach their children to do is to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning.” Dweck also learned that children perform better when they are praised for how hard they are working, NOT how smart they are or the end result.

We know our world needs thoughtful problem solvers to fix tough, complex issues, whether it’s auto repair or world peace or a struggling marriage. People equipped with patience, perseverance, and a desire to see a process through, with a dash of creativity, are those most likely to lead us into the future (and become very strong readers).

Raising the next generation requires us to model more than how to slap on band-aids to stop bleeding or push issues under the rug. They are not a part of the world I wish to see.

So, if you’re tempted to spend money on a summer skills workbook or create extra homework for your child, set aside some time to create moments for productive struggle instead. And while your child may or may not thank you now, his/her teacher will, along with the rest of us who need citizens who are motivated and well practiced at perseverance when the going gets tough. ______________________________________________

Letters To The Editor To the Editor: Save Brownsburg from Itself On September 9, 2021, neighbors were denied free speech at the Brownsburg Town Council Meeting. We were well prepared with materials and presentations regarding the very specific 5 criteria related to zoning petition #07-21-1927 also known as ordinance #2021-21 also known as Council item 11.11. Our various speakers were intentionally and systematically prevented from using their voices to present our concerns.

This same zoning case was heard by the Advisory Planning Commission on August 30, 2021, where after hours of evidence and testimony, the APC forwarded a “no recommendation” to the Council, based on a 3-2 vote. This action by the APC placed the responsibility of HEARING and then voting on the same zoning case squarely with the Town Council, yet they have refused to HEAR our concerns.

The zoning case involves rezone request to heavy industrial for a 45 foot high, 550,000 square foot, 24/7 operational industrial warehouse to be built on a parcel that sits DIRECTLY across from residences on 2-lane CR 400.

The Brownsburg Unified Development Ordinance clearly states that industrial and residential are NOT COMPATIBLE uses. This zoning request MUST BE DENIED based on Brownsburg’s guiding documents and the basic premise of responsible zoning.

I believe the Brownsburg Town Council knew of our preparations and intentionally prohibited us from bringing our issues and concerns to the public. We were simply denied our right to free speech, so the Council could vote YES to this zoning request without hearing the many reasons to vote NO. Our list of concerns includes the following: -100 dock doors on the site plan would mean a tremendous amount of semi-trucks 24/7 on CR 400 and at the intersection with Ronald Reagan – neither can support that amount of heavy traffic.

- CR 400 is a primary school bus corridor and sees over 50 buses traveling on a single school day. School busses and semi-truck traffic create dangerous situations for our community.

- School children stand at bus stops at this very same location – again extremely dangerous.

- The homes directly across the street from the proposed building will obviously experience a tremendous loss of property values.

- This property has recently been designated, again by the Town Council, as an “economic revitalization area” so that tax abatement could be awarded to the developer, yet the property owner is asking $150,000 per acre. Does that sound like a property that is “undesirable for or impossible of normal development?” (Resolution #2021-25C) - Many industrial warehouses have “for lease” or “help wanted” signs, so do we really need another one? Brownsburg will have allowed rezoning for 3,000,000 square feet of new industrial buildings this year – do we really need more?

- Brownsburg is known for MotorSports with the Lucas Oil Raceway less than a mile from this property, yet the Brownsburg Town Council can’t see the benefit of enhancing or emphasizing that niche industry here.

This zoning case is extremely important and could have long-lasting impacts on the community of Brownsburg.

Our desire is for the Town to follow the Unified Development Ordinance which clearly states that Industrial and Residential zonings are NOT COMPATIBLE. This type of development could be coming to your neighborhood soon.

Stand with us to Save Brownsburg!

Respectfully, Pam Sheads A VERY concerned resident ______________________________________________

Sunset at W.S. Gibbs Park

We received this photo from a reader. She wrote: “Friday night from the disk golf course tee 4 in WS Gibbs Park, a beautiful sunset was enjoyed by many people. Couples shared the experience while young children with their dogs had fun on the hillside. I wonder if the planners of this park knew they were creating one of the most beautiful places in Hendricks County to watch the sunset.”

Boutique Crawl Returns for Sixth Year

Eight boutiques across the country will be participating in the Hendricks County Boutique Crawl Sept. 17-19.

Several years ago, the event was in conjunction with a bus tour and the Shop Small initiative over the holidays but today, the event has evolved. No tickets are necessary, and everyone can benefit.

Simply visit one or all of the local boutiques for discounts, gift cards, swag bags and raffles over the weekend.

“These ladies have been in business for several years and we were looking for a way to generate excitement and encourage customers to shop local and support your local

boutiques,” Michele Isenhower, owner of Michele’s Boutique and Gifts in Brownsburg said.

Participating boutiques include: Brick and Belle, Caroline’s Boutique, Ella Mae’s Boutique, Ivry Lane Gown and Tuxedo, Michele’s Boutique and Gifts, Style Threads Boutique, Sweet M’s Boutique and Younique Culture.

Giveaways have already begun for those following the shop’s Facebook pages but more fun is waiting this weekend.

The participating boutiques will offer 20 percent off of purchases, and a daily raffle in which each boutique gives away a $50 gift certificate.

At each location, the first 10 customers to arrive on Friday and Saturday and makes a $25 purchase will receive a swag bag and the first five customer on Sunday to purchase $25 of merchandise will receive a swag bag.

For those online shoppers, you can save 20 percent on your online order using the code BOUTIQUECRAWL through the 19th.

“It’s just a fun event for this time of year,” Isenhower said. “We waited till the kids went back to school, people are starting to think about the new fall apparel and the holidays coming up. This year more than ever, orders are delayed. I think any retail store would tell you that orders that used to take eight weeks are now taking 17. So, I can’t stress enough, if you see something you want, get it now because the likelihood of it being there two weeks from now is slim.”

The women have supported each other for decades and in the fragile retail environment, they’ve pulled together even more.

“We are all good friends, and we work together to support each other. We try not to order the same things and we’ll send a customer to another’s store if we know they have what the customer is looking for. It’s women supporting women owned businesses and we’re excited for this fun event,” Isenhower said.

Caroline’s Boutique was one of the original locations to create the boutique crawl.

Younique Culture has been open since 2014 and welcomes customers for the upcoming boutique crawl.

Sweet M’s in Plainfield will participate in the sixth annual Hendricks County Boutique Crawl. _______________________________________________________________

Flu Shot Clinics at P-GTPL

For the first time in several years, the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library is proud to offer two flu shot vaccine clinics hosted in partnership with the Plainfield WalMart Neighborhood Market Pharmacy.

The first session will be Wednesday, September 22, from 10 a.m. -1 p.m., and the second will be on Tuesday, October 26, from 4 - 7 p.m.

Everyone over 12 years of age is welcome to take advantage of this program. Participants under 18 years of age will need a parent or legal guardian. Regular and high dose (for 65+) flu vaccines will be available, as well as Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines.

Participants will need to bring their ID and insurance cards (medical/pharmacy insurance cards). Billing for the vaccine is sent through insurance and most insurance companies will cover the cost of the vaccine at no charge.

Unfortunately, neither cash nor credit will be accepted.

“We are always looking for new and exciting ways to serve our community,” said Library Director Montie Manning, “and this partnership with the Walmart Neighborhood Market Pharmacy is a clear opportunity to do just that.”

Influenza viruses change often, and vaccines are updated annually. Manufacturers predict they will provide 188 to 200 million influenza vaccines to the U.S. in 2021-2022, according to the CDC. For this upcoming flu season, all flu vaccines will be quadrivalent, protecting against four influenza viruses. “September through October is generally a good time to get the flu vaccine,” says Anu Patel, Pharmacy Manager at Plainfield WalMart Neighborhood Market. “Getting the flu vaccine can reduce illness, doctor visits, and missed work and school due to the flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations and death.”

For more information about the flu clinic, contact the library at 317-839-6602 or visit www.plainfieldlibrary.net.

The library is located at 1120 Stafford Road, Plainfield, Indiana. ___________________________________________

Hendricks Symphony is “Bach” for A New Season of Music

The Hendricks Symphony Orchestra and Chorus under the direction of Benjamin G. Del Vecchio will present their season-opening concert at Calvary United Methodist Church in Brownsburg, Indiana, on Friday September 24th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, September 26th at 3:00 p.m.

The 2021-2022 season is titled with tongue-in-cheek, “We Are Bach,” with the premier concert’s theme being “Athenaeum Pops Legacy” (music from the Athenaeum Pops Library).

While a few of the instrumental pieces may be unfamiliar to the audience, listeners of Oldies but Goodies will recognize such vocal selections “My Wild Irish Rose” and “Moon River.”

A few highlights from the 15 musical works included in the program: The orchestra opens with the William Tell Overture by Rossini (1792-1868), otherwise known as the theme to The Lone Ranger for those of us who watched television in the 1950s.

Leroy Anderson, famous for his contributions to the Boston Pops, contributes two of his pieces to this concert. “Blue Tango” contains a definite jazz flavor, and “The Syncopated Clock.” Famous for its distinctive “tick-tock” percussion (which for today’s younger audience has nothing to do with the social media platform of the same name, different spelling).

Selections from Bernstein’s West Side Story complete the first half of the concert.

Then, opening the second half is Johann Strauss II’s Emperor’s Waltz. Intended to be a toast of friendship between Germany and Austria in 1889, it was first titled “Hand in Hand.” How sweet. However, Strauss’s publicist suggested “The Kaiser’s Waltz,” so both egotistical rulers could infer kudos to themselves. After an introduction of a light march, the music streams into a smooth welcome of the first waltz theme.

The “Polka” from Schwanda was written by Jaromir Weinberger. Born to a Jewish family in Prague in 1896, Weinberger moved to the United States to teach at Cornell University and the Ithaca Conservatory in 1922. In 1926, he went home to Czechoslovakia but returned to America in 1939 to escape the Nazis.

“Lara’s Theme” from Doctor Zhivago was written by French composer and conductor Maurice Jarre. Its melody is world famous. Jarre wrote dozens of movie themes from Fatal Attraction to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. He won an Academy Award for Best Original Score for Doctor Zhivago.

“By the Light of the Silvery Moon” was first performed in 1909 in the Ziegfield Follies. Since then, the song, composed by Gus Edwards and lyrics by Edward Madden, has been heard on television shows and movies as recently as 2010 in a Scooby-Doo film.

Edwards (1878-1945), an immigrant from what is now Poland, joined vaudeville as a teenager. He eventually owned his own vaudeville company, discovering such stars as Walter Winchell, Groucho Marx, Phil Silvers, and Ray Bolger.

“In an effort to ensure the safety of our patrons, all Hendricks Symphony musicians and support staff are fully vaccinated. Audience members are asked to respect the masking policy of the hosting venue.” The Symphony is obligated to follow the church’s guidelines, and to inform our patrons that we intend to do so.

Discounted advance tickets for the 2021 – 2022 season may be purchased online at www.HendricksSymphony.org or in person at the Danville, Brownsburg, and Clayton Township public libraries, The Hendricks County Bank, Hendricks County branches of the State Bank as well as the Hendricks County branches of North Salem State Bank.

Discounted individual advance tickets are: adults $15, seniors (65 and older) $12, and students $5. Prices at the door are adults $18, seniors $15, and students with I.D. $7. ______________________________________________________________________

Danville Takes On Athenians

Photo by LeAnn Smith

By David Winters The Danville Football Warriors looked to notch their second straight win after an early season set back.

Coming together with a unified front is exactly what is needed to get back on course for a team that is hungry for, and will accept nothing less than, another trip to the big stage in November.

The Warriors traveled west to take on the Crawfordsville Athenians in a conference match up that always seems to add an element of focus to the game. This would be the last game to work out any remaining kinks before the team travels just a few miles north to Tri-West for the annual rivalry game with the Bruins, easily the most looked-forward-to game each season.

It took no time for the Warriors to establish control on the home team’s field early as they stopped Crawfordsville on defense, taking over after a failed fourth down conversion attempt by the hosts. Kayle Payne and the Danville offense wasted no time in capitalizing on the fourth down stop when Payne connected with Kent State-bound Tyler Dostin on a 56-yard touchdown pass. Warriors lead 7-0.

On the next possession, the Danville offense quickly got the ball back after an interception by BJ Wuest. They would quickly capitalize on a 3-yard scamper into the end zone by Kaden Manning.

The offense never slowed down from there as Matthew McGovern would get his turn at the ball and take it 19 yards to the house putting Danville up solidly in the second quarter, 21-0. Danville’s defense never eased up either and the Warriors won this one easily, 41-0.

Payne finished 12-17, 158 yards and touchdown. Matthew McGovern had a nice breakout game carrying the ball 8 times for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Danville is now 3-1 on the season and are already gearing up for their trip to take on the Bruins on Friday, September 17 at 7pm. ______________________________________________

Hometown Talent Still Entertains, 25 Years Later

Levi Riggs will close out the Summer Sounds on the Square series for 2021 on Saturday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. on the court house square.

But Riggs was very much the entertainer 25 years ago, according to this article found in the pages of The Republican from 1996.

“Levi Riggs, Danville Middle School Grade 6, is back by popular demand; he will be giving an encore performance during the “Nothing but Country” musicial concert sponsored by the Danville Community High School Choral Department on Novemeber 2. Levi brought down the house at last year’s Grade 5 “Monster Mash” with his rendition of “Sold!”

Fast-talking is not all this young man can do well. He has participated in the summer 4-H program with his Jersey cows at both the county leveland in the Indiana State Fair. Geography and military history, Civil War and World War are subjects that have special interest to him. Levi is also interested in sports, particularly football and basketball.

Levi has sung solo and as a member of children’s choirs at church; he also plays the French horn in the Grade 6 Band at the Middle School.”

THE DANVILLE TOWN COUNCIL 9-16-21-1T -hspaxlp _________________________________

As an alternative to PARITY®, bidders may submit a sealed bid or e-mail the bid electronically to the School Corporation’s municipal advisor at the address described above until the time and on the date identified in the notice given by, or on behalf of the School Corporation, twenty-four hours prior to the sale of the Bonds. Upon completion of the bidding procedures described herein, the results of the sealed, non-electronic bids received shall be compared to the electronic bids received by the School Corporation.

If a potential bidder has questions related to the School Corporation, the financing or submission of bids, questions should be submitted by email to the addresses above no later than 11:00 a.m. (Indianapolis Time) on September 23, 2021. To the best of the School Corporation’s ability, all questions will be addressed by or on behalf of the School Corporation and sent to potential bidders, including any bidders requesting 24 hours’ notice of sale, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Indianapolis Time) on September 23, 2021. Additionally, upon request, the written responses will be emailed to any other interested bidder. Bidders should review this notice as well as the Preliminary Official Statement and submit any questions in advance of this deadline to submit questions.

The School Corporation reserves the right to adjust the maturity schedule following the sale in order to accomplish the School Corporation’s financial objectives by reallocating debt service based upon the rates bid by the successful bidder (the “Purchaser”).

The Bonds are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity.

A bid may designate that a given maturity or maturities shall constitute a term bond, and the semi-annual amounts set forth in the schedule provided 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 prior to the sale.

In the case of any redemption, 30 days’ notice will be given by mail to the registered owners of the Bonds to be redeemed, and accrued interest will be paid to the date fixed for redemption. Interest on the Bonds so called for redemption will cease on the redemption date fixed in said notice if funds are available at the place of redemption to redeem the Bonds so called on the date fixed in said notice, or thereafter when presented for payment.

The Bonds have been designated as qualified tax-exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Each bid must be for all of the Bonds and must state the rate of interest which each maturity of the Bonds is to bear, stated in multiples of 1/8th or 1/100th of 1%. The maximum interest rate of the Bonds shall not exceed 5.00% per annum. All Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same rate. No bid for less than 99.50% of the face value of the Bonds will be considered. The Bonds will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder who has submitted a bid in accordance herewith (the “Purchaser”). The Purchaser will be the one who offers the lowest net interest cost to the School Corporation, to be determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds to their maturities based upon the schedule provided by the School Corporation prior to the sale and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, and adding thereto the discount bid, if any. No conditional bids will be considered. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. If an acceptable bid is not received for the Bonds on the date of sale hereinbefore fixed, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement, during which time no bid which provides a higher net interest cost to the Corporation than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale will be considered.

The Purchaser shall make payment for such Bonds and accept delivery thereof within five days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at such place in the City of Indianapolis, Indiana, as the Purchaser may designate, or at such other location mutually agreed to by the School Corporation and the Purchaser. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within 45 days after the date of sale. If the School Corporation fails to have the Bonds ready for delivery prior to the close of banking hours on the forty-fifth day after the date of sale, the Purchaser may secure the release of the bid upon request in writing, filed with the School Corporation. Unless otherwise requested by the winning bidder, the Purchaser is expected to apply to a securities depository registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to make such Bonds depository-eligible. If the Bonds are reoffered, at the time of delivery of the Bonds to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will be required to certify to the School Corporation the initial reoffering price to the public of a substantial amount of each maturity of the Bonds.

All provisions of the bid form and Preliminary Official Statement (as hereinafter defined) are incorporated herein. As set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement, the Purchaser agrees by submission of their bid to assist the School Corporation in establishing the issue price of the Bonds under the terms outlined therein and shall execute and deliver to the School Corporation 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 Purchaser, the School Corporation and Ice Miller LLP (“Bond Counsel”).

Bidders must comply with the rules of PARITY® (the “Rules”) in addition to requirements of this Notice. To the extent there is a conflict between the Rules and this Notice, this Notice shall control. 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).

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 cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder therefor to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its proposal. 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 School Corporation 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 School Corporation; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the resale of the Bonds.

The approving opinion of Bond Counsel, together with a transcript of the proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds 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 School Corporation.

The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of renovation of and improvements to facilities throughout the School Corporation, including site improvements and the purchase of equipment, technology, vehicles and buses, and will be direct obligations of the School Corporation payable out of ad valorem taxes to be collected on the taxable property within the School Corporation; however, the School Corporation’s collection of the levy may be limited by operation of I.C. 6-1.1-20.6, which provides taxpayers with tax credits for property taxes attributable to different classes of property in an amount that exceeds certain percentages of the gross assessed value of that property. The School Corporation is required by law to fully fund the payment of debt service on the Bonds in an amount sufficient to pay the debt service, regardless of any reduction in property tax collections due to the application of such tax credits. The School Corporation may not be able to levy or collect additional property taxes to make up this shortfall. The School Corporation is a school corporation organized pursuant to the provisions of I.C. 20-23; the Bonds will not be “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the Code.

The School Corporation is conducting this sale pursuant to Indiana Code § 5-1-11-1(2) and is using a competitive process outlined in this notice for the purpose of selecting the Purchaser to whom it will sell its Bonds pursuant to the terms in this notice.

The Bonds constitute an indebtedness only of the School Corporation. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under the existing federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings, the interest on the Bonds is exempt from all income taxation in Indiana. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under the existing federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings, the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.

The School Corporation has prepared a Preliminary Official Statement (the “Preliminary Official Statement”) relating to the Bonds which it has deemed nearly final. A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement may be obtained from the School Corporation’s municipal advisor, Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687. Within seven (7) business days of the sale, the School Corporation will provide the successful bidder with sufficient copies of the Final Official Statement (the “Final Official Statement”) at the School Corporation’s expense in order for such bidder to comply with Section (b)(4) of the SEC Rule 15c2-12 and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. Additional copies, at the Purchaser’s expense, must be requested within five (5) business days of the sale. Inquiries concerning matters contained in the Preliminary Official Statement must be made and pricing and other information necessary to complete the Final Official Statement must be submitted by the Purchaser within two (2) business days following the sale to be included in the Final Official Statement.

If the Bonds are reoffered by an underwriter, the School Corporation agrees to enter into a supplement to the master continuing disclosure undertaking (the “Master Agreement”) in order to permit the Purchaser to comply with the SEC Rule 15c2-12, as amended to the date hereof (the “SEC Rule”). A copy of the Master Agreement is available from the School Corporation or municipal advisor at the addresses below.

The School Corporation has further agreed to comply with the Purchaser’s reasonable requests to provide or disclose information and make appropriate filings which may be required in order for such purchaser to comply with the SEC Rule.

Further information relative to said issue and a copy of the Preliminary Official Statement may be obtained upon application to Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687, municipal advisor to the School Corporation; or Dr. Tracey R. Shafer, Superintendent of the School Corporation, 200 Warrior Way, Danville, Indiana 46122-1573. If bids are submitted by mail, they should be addressed to the School Corporation, attention of the Superintendent of the School Corporation, Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687.
