Museum Road Rally

Rally-Master Tim Macsay explains the rules of the Hendricks County Museum’s annual Road Rally.

Looking for a fun road trip? Look no further than the Hendricks County Museum’s 7th annual road rally, the “Great Chocolate Caper Tour Road Rally,” Saturday, October 9, rain or shine.

No, it is not timed event. No, you do not have to have a special car of some kind. All you need is a sense of adventure and a love of driving country roads.

On October 9, at 8 a.m. you can register for $10 per car (your donation to the museum) at the parking lot across from the Hendricks County Museum in Danville at the corner of Washington and Broadway Streets. Instructions from “Rally-Master” Tim Macsay will begin at 8:20 a.m.

Bring a clipboard for holding the driving instructions, a pencil for taking notes, and a compass for directional help.

After hearing Tim’s explanation, off you will go, following the easy-to-follow directions he has prepared. Why the Chocolate theme? It’s a mystery – come and find out!

Museum board member, Deanna Hindsley, said, “I am always surprised by the route Tim designs. He takes us through places I’ve never seen, and I have lived in Hendricks County all my life!”

The instructions will highlight special landmarks which you may note, and 1st, 2nd and 3rd fun prizes will be given upon return to the museum parking lot.

A quick tour of the museum is offered after the road trip. Then, you may want to join the group at Mayberry Café upstairs, where you can share your experiences.

The Hendricks County Museum building served as the residence of the Hendricks County Sheriffs and their families from 1866 to 1974, with the county jail in the basement. It is furnished as it would have been in the late 1800s to early 1900s and holds the stories of the beginnings of our county. It is open Fridays and Saturdays 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

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: We’ve abundant obsessions with smells, aromas, fragrance and odors.

Daniel Robeadeau Clymer, third mayor of Reading, Pennsylvania, wormed his way into the pages of The Republican in August 1886 with a sleeplessness remedy unknown to me.

“Onions inhaled cause sleep, rest and repose. “Tie a fresh onion around the neck and bruise it to make its odor thorough, and you secure sound sleep.”

The fellow considered publishing his recommendation “an act of humanity.”

Editor J.C. Olchiltree asked, “Who didn’t know onions put people to sleep? The odor may drive off care, but it will also drive off your best friends.”

Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) was in “bad odor” in mid-1853. Congress had ordered the tree removed from the capital based upon an unfounded “opinion” that it caused disease. Other cities including Indianapolis planned to follow suit.

The Advertiser reported no reason for that opinion, but “there appears to be no controversy upon the subject,” adding that it was probable the tree would cease to be cultivated across America.

That invasive remains – pass northbound by Blanton Woods and beyond and you can see it. I wonder whether we’ve really been fighting it for nearly 170 years.

Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid in 1883 removed “all offensive odors” and prevented and treated smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, yellow fever and malaria. “Noxious odors and gases,” too, and putrescent things as well.

Should mulish folks questing for Ivermectin opt for Darby’s instead? Surely, it could handle Covid. At one buck a pint, the price was right. Free for some today appears to be too steep.

Readers in 1890 learned that Parisian women were obsessed with perfumes. They bathed their hair in it, wore shoes of perfumed leather and their clothes were “folded in odorous sachets.”

One “fair belle of the frivolous city” had taken to injecting drops of perfume to improve her odor. “Like many social queens,” she had an opium habit, and the resulting bodily smell forced her hand.

It worked for her, but after her maid blabbed about it, quite a few began running up perfume and they fell “mysteriously ill.”

Sufferers from catarrh and hay fever were urged in 1887 to avoid cocaine, mercurials, and iodoform, particularly the latter because of its offensive odor. All were “injurious and dangerous.”

Instead, Ely’s Cream Balm, at only 50 cents, was free of “all poisonous drugs” and it had cured thousands “where all other remedies have failed” merely by applying “a particle” to each nostril.

For “perfect smell, taste and hearing” there was Sanford’s Radical Cure. That quackery restored those three senses and “deodorized” the head, leading me to wonder whether there could be something that obviated smell to unburden folks of ponderously odiferous assaults.

Dear Editor, I believe I’ve shared the 1883 Pittsboro correspondent’s contribution questioningly corroborating the contention that billy goat odor possessed smallpox prophylactic properties.

“A young woman who has a beautifully rounded throat, with lovely neck and arms to match” in 1892 credited nightly dousing herself for half an hour with cod liver oil. “You must be prepared for a somewhat disagreeable odor and the ruination of your night robe.”

Three weeks of treatment were required. She did not recommend internally dousing with the stuff, which is a good, because I hear it causes fish breath and belching. Some suitors would be put off by that.

A man “burdened with the name of W.T. Thiselton Dyer” wrote in 1887 about an unidentified plant hailing from Madras, India, that temporarily removed taste from everything from sugar to cigars. Reprinted from Chicago, the article demands something else – something that obscured “the redolent flavor of boiled cabbage, and the pungent odor of the onion.”

Again, the onion. “S.F.X.” penned a paean to that vegetable in December 1881, comparing it to the working masses, “the bone and sinew of the country.” They were the hard-handed, broad shouldered, brave-hearted children of toil.” Some might call them potatoes or cabbages.

Vermont Senator George F. Edmunds was “passionately addicted to onions,” a lady camping companion declared in 1885. The senator ate an onion and graham cracker for breakfast. Lunch was a graham cracker sandwich and an onion, and dinner was meat and onions.

That man needed Darby’s.

No News November

Turn it off, don’t click on that headline, and just say “no” to news in November.

This includes Twitter and all “chatters.”

Impossible? No, it’s not. You don’t want to miss anything? You won’t.

Last September, one month before the election, I had to turn it all off. The level of toxicity at that time both locally and nationally was too much, so off it went. And one month later I was noticeably happier. I want to share the gift with you this year.

Since November seems to be the month for skipping normal activities such as “No shave November,” I will be turning off the news once again, but this time in November, and invite you to do the same.

You will need to let your friends and family know of this in advance and ask them nicely not to spoil this 30 days of bliss for you. They may try to thwart your efforts but once they see how happy you are, they might join you.

So, prepare to have extra time on your hands to spend with your family and friends, to pick up that book you wanted to read, to start a new hobby. Write us at the newspaper and let us know how you are doing.

If you don’t think you can do this or if you need support, call or text me. I will help you. (317) 431-2672. I own a newspaper. If I can do it, you can too.

Enjoy. You’re welcome.

Harvest Season Calls for Caution On Rural Roads and Highways Harvest season is here and for some that means visiting pumpkin patches and apple orchards, but we want to remind motorists that harvest season also means farmers will begin harvesting this year’s corn and soybean crops. That means more slow-moving agricultural equipment will be traveling on Indiana’s rural roads and highways.

We want to remind everyone to stay alert and be courteous to ensure we all get home safely.

“Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year, and I know for many others it’s their favorite, too. While traveling along our rural roads I often come across tractors, grain wagons and combines traveling between fields to harvest their crops,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. “I want to encourage all motorists to slow down, be patient and be on high alert for agricultural equipment on our roads this harvest season.”

In 2019 in Indiana, farm equipment vehicles (other than trucks) were involved in three accidents, with one fatality, according to the National Highway Traffic Administration.

“Harvest season is a busy time for both farmers and motorists, I want to remind everyone to slow down and be courteous on our rural roads and highways,” said Bruce Kettler, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. “Slow moving farm equipment typically travels at 25 miles per hour or less, so be sure to exercise caution when approaching.”

Farm equipment during harvest season could include tractors, combines, grain carts, grain wagons and large trucks hauling agricultural products. These vehicles are wide, sometimes taking up most of the road, and often travel at speeds no greater than 25 mph.

The following list includes several safety tips for motorists approaching large farm equipment: ▫ Farmers will pull over when they are able to let motorists pass, but it may take time for them to get to a safe place to do so. ▫ Be patient. Farm equipment is wide, sometimes taking up most of the road. ▫ Be careful when passing. Do not pass in a designated “No Passing Zone” or within 100 feet of any intersection, railroad grade crossing, bridge, elevation structure or tunnel. ▫ Do not try to pass a slow-moving vehicle on the left without ensuring that the vehicle is not planning a left turn. It may appear that the driver is pulling over for you to pass when it is actually preparing to turn. You will drive right into its path, endangering yourself and the farmer. ▫ Avoid tailgating, as some farm equipment might have to make sudden stops along the road. ▫ Allow plenty of time to get to a destination, be aware of alternate routes and avoid distractions.

“Despite encouraging motorists and farmers alike to take extra precaution on roadways during harvest season, crashes still occur every year,” said Doug Carter, Indiana State Police Superintendent. “One death is one too many. I want to remind everyone to remain alert and exercise caution as you travel on Indiana’s rural roads this fall.”

For a list of safety tips, visit isda.in.gov. The following organizations will be working together to share this important safety message during planting season: Hoosier Ag Today, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Indiana Department of Transportation and Indiana State Police. ______________________________________________________________________

Coatesville Resident Recipient of Golden Hoosier Award

Last week, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, in collaboration with the Indiana Family and Social Service Administration’s Division of Aging, announced 21 senior citizens received the 2021 Golden Hoosier Award.

The award began in 2008 and annually honors Hoosier senior citizens for their years of service and committment to the state.

Among the 2021 recipients was Jerry Decker, of Coatesville.

The video ceremony naration called Decker “the perfect excample of a dedicated and engaged community leader.”

In addition to serving on the Coatesville Town Council, the boards of the sewer and electric plants, he volunteers to oversee the sewer plant and sewer lift stations and resoures.

Jerry Deckard was among the volunteers who worked to restore the facade of a former gas station in Coatesville.

Jerry has also raised thousands of dollars from various indvidiuals and organizations for Coatesville Downtown Revitalization and the Coatesville Historical Society and has dedicated his spare time on two complete exterior building remodels in the downtown corridor.

Jerry’s personal motto is “Do what is right for the Town and the people,” something he fulfills daily as he always stands ready to help a person in need.

“So many of our strong nonprofits rely on the generosity of volunteers, and we are fortunate to have great senior citizens who answer the call to give their time, lend a hand and make considerable contributions to their communities,” Crouch said. “These humble leaders make positive impacts on the lives of others and improve the overall wellbeing of our state. Thank you for your service and answering the call to give back.”

This year, Golden Hoosier Award recipients were honored with a video ceremony, which can be watched by going to IN.gov/lg/2532.htm. ______________________________________________

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!”

Celebrate the 2021 cicadas with a trip through the cicada-themed prairie maze, now through October 31.. 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.

To download an application, go to https://extension.purdue.edu/hendricks/ article/2332 Applications can be mailed to: HCEH Grant Committee, PO Box 7, Danville, IN 46122 Applications can also be submitted electronically to pitts15@purdue.edu. ___________

Main Street Plainfield Inc. will once again offer the Historic Walking Tour this fall. Registered groups will meet at 10 a.m. at the Friends Meeting Church on Sept. 25, Oct. 23 and Nov. 6 to learn more about the town, its history, and all it has to offer.

“There are 22 featured buildings on the tour and the library provided all the details about the history of those buildings, “said Stephanie Scotten, Executive Director of Main Street Plainfield. “Mike Smith is a long-time resident and will be hosting two of the walking tours, giving details about the buildings and their history.”

For example, did you know the current First National Bank and Plainfield Chamber building used to be a Reagan’s Corner grocery store and post office in the late 1800’s?

Each participant will receive a pamphlet with photos and a quick recap of information shared on the tour. The hope is that the pamphlets will serve as talking points as you discuss with family and friends.

“We want to focus on

the activity downtown,” Scotten said. “Everyone enjoys the history of our town and we walk away with the history and perspective of our past but it also draws awareness to the new businesses and encourages visitors to stop by a shop or eat at a local restaurant after the tour.”

Last year, the tours sold out quickly and feedback was positive.

“There was a lot of interaction with participants and the tour guide. Many had questions and it was great to talk to someone that has lived in Plainfield and can remember going to the movies at Prewitt Theater and other memories

they could share,” Scotten said.

The walking tour starts at the Friends Meetinghouse, ends at the Barlow, taking participants around a loop on U.S. 40. Tours stay on the sidewalk, making travel as conducive as possible for wheelchairs or strollers.

Cost is $20 per person or $35 per couple and includes a light breakfast and the color pamphlet. The event is sponsored by Oasis Diner, CrestPoint Realty and State Farm’s Anissa Veon. All proceeds from the tour will be used to support revitalization and raising awareness for the Town of Plainfield.

One of the 22 buildings highlighted on the tour, the Prewitt Theater brings back memories for many in the community and will soon take on a new purpose on U.S. 40.

Hunting Tips & Reflections

By Mike E. Neilson

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.

Travel Hunting - Part 2 Rafting on the Tippecanoe River with high school ag, biology and environmental science students is a learning adventure for all ages. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Exploring Hendricks County

By Jackie Horn I love learning new things. I’ve never outgrown the child’s curiosity. I’m not afraid to ask questions. (That’s part of the reason I enjoy writing these articles. It gives me an excuse to ask ALL The QUESTIONS I WANT, which are many.)

As an Indiana Advanced Master Naturalist, I’m required to get eight hours of “education” to keep my certification.

That’s not a problem. I’m ready to learn something new.

The thing about continuing education, I’m never bored.

There is always something new to explore.

This past week I had numerous opportunities to add to my intellectual storehouse.

Every September, for two days I step into a rubber raft and floated down the Tippecanoe River in Winamac with a bunch of high school students. It’s the highlight of my summer. As we paddle along on the current, I teach them about the river, what formed it, why it should matter to them, and what they can do to protect it. Along the way, we stop for classes and workshops on forestry, water quality testing, and endangered species taught by experts from state agencies. After ten years, I’m still picking up new information. (You have no idea how interesting mussel reproduction cycles are!)

Back home in Plainfield, I had noted a program offered by the Hendricks County Parks and Recreation, “Bicycling with a Biologist and Birder.” I signed up. Friday evening, our group of eight took off from the Vandalia Trail Amo station. The weather was perfect for a leisurely ride. Along the way, the biologist or birder would stop us and point out various wildlife, flowers, trees, and birds. We only traveled a mile-and-a-half to the Virgin’s bower, a type of clemCrittenden bridge and wa- atis and Rough Horsetail near ter treatment plant, then re- the Crittenden Creek bridge turned to Amo. I learned to identify Canada Clearweed, Clematis/Virgin’s-bower, and Rough Horsetail as well as goldfinch and warbler songs.

Robert Aull of the Indiana Astronomical Society briefs visitors on what can be seen overhead while stargazing at McCloud Nature Park.

Saturday evening, John and I were thankful for a clear night to view the stars at McCloud Nature Park. The Indiana Astronomical Society presented a brief overview of what could be seen overhead. Members of the group had their equipment set up along the prairie and visitors could move from telescope to telescope to see the moon, Jupiter and four of its moons, Saturn and its rings, double and quadruple stars. It was awesome! I now know how to find the Cygnus constellation, the Summer Triangle, and from there, other constellations, planets, and stars.

Hendricks County Parks offers educational programs for all ages. Sunday Drop-In activities and a Storywalk that changes monthly are informative and great fun for children. From September 15-26, visitors can learn about Monarch butterflies and naturalists will assist with catching and tagging the butterflies to track their 3,000-mile annual migration. October 2, weather permitting, the Indiana Astronomical Society will again be setting up to view the night sky.

For additional information or schedule of programs, check out the HCPR web page at hendrickscountyparks. org , their Facebook page Hendricks County Parks and Recreation, or free quarterly publication, THE EXPLORER which is available at the parks and other area locations.

Get out there and expand your mind...and have fun doing it.

Jackie Horn and her husband, John, transplanted from Warsaw to Plainfield to be near family. An Advanced Indiana Master Naturalist, Jackie is a retired substitute teacher who continues to teach (and learn) about all things outdoors. John is a retired CNC programmer and the photographer on the team. The Horns enjoy traveling, walking, hiking, kayaking, and bicycling.

A Note From Bee When my friends and I get together, all in our late 70’s or early eighties, the subject gets around to family or lack of.

One friend, Mary, tells how her granddaughter, Sarah, and her husband moved from Illinois when their first child was to be born. They wanted baby Cole to know his grandparents. This lasted about a year. Mary said something to offend Sarah and even though Mary apologized profusely. Sarah has only allowed Mary and her husband to see Cole on his birthday for the last two years which is very hurtful.

Another friend, Carol, made the mistake of calling a man black instead of just a man standing near the door.

Grandson Mike called her a racist. That situation was resolved and Mike did apologize to Carol.

It seems that grandchildren in the 20 to 30 age bracket are the quickest to find fault with their grandparents.

Our family is a very small family, 15 members. It is hard to have a family dinner or picture because three of the family members do not like one of the family members.

How can we have peace and harmony in the world when we cannot even have it in a small family?

Bee Jones ______________________________________________

Let’s talk driving to your destination, which is the option I chose on the last hunt. The first advantage is that you can load as much gear as your vehicle will carry. I threw in a couple of big coolers, a bow case, a crossbow case, all my clothes, an extra pillow and blanket (sleeping in rest areas and truck stops, not to mention Walmart parking lots), a case of water and all sorts of snacks and goodies for the drive. Another advantage is that I had wheels when I got to camp and if I shot our early, I could leave early. A third advantage is that you are able to take sidetrips when interesting things pop up like Devil’s Tower, the continental divide, and other roadside attractions.

Oh, those rotten disadvantages! Time is a biggie for some of us still working. We only get so many vacation days and weekends that sometimes it’s hard to justify a 2-day marathon drive there and the same back. My long-distance driving is now down to about 12-13 hours a day, after that, I need to get out of the truck.

We drivers also have limited control over road construction, delays, accidents and mishaps. Nobody wants to deal with a flat time or a mechanical breakdown on the road. I’ve had a few and they are no fun and tons of stress.

Flat tires, running out of gas, engine lights coming on, all can add stress that you don’t need on your trip. And if your ride is not reliable, be honest with yourself, will that vehicle make it safely to your destination and back?

Another potential downside to driving is going long-distance solo. On most of my hunts, that’s exactly what happens. On the few hunts where I’ve got at least one partner, the job of driving can be split up. While one partner drives, the other can rest/sleep and take over the duties when needed. This works great unless you both get sleepy riding or driving at the same time.

With the advent of GPS and Google maps, it’s very unlikely you will get lost again. There are also old-school paper maps that, if you can read them, will safely take you to your destination. Apps like Gas Buddy can help you plot and plan your trip, budget for your fuel and show you likely places to fill up in unfamiliar territory.

So which method is best for you? Well, I’ve used both methods quite a bit and for me it breaks down to destination and time as the biggest factors for my decision. Obviously, geography plays an important role. Kinda hard to drive to Australia! If my destination is 20 hours away or less, I’ll grudgingly drive unless there is a hay-shaking deal on flights and the outfitter will pick me up. If my hunting takes me further, I’ll be flying, thank you very much.

Whichever method you choose, travel safe and travel wisely. Be prepared for delays and emergencies and you will have less worry on your trip.

Best of luck this season. ______________________________________________

Archy’s tail was bushier that usual.

“Oh, that,” he said. “I’m just practicing my indignation. It’s for the talent show.”

“What talent show,” I asked, cautiously.

“Why the Squirrel Salon’s Annual Talent Show,” he replied. “We squirrels practice our best imitations of human traits.” He gave a laugh and continued. “We vote on who is gives the best performance. It’s the highlight of the Fall season.”

“What kind of traits are you talking about?”

“Humans have so many from which to chose,” he said, stroking his forehead. “Let me think. There’s envy, of course. Jealousy is always good for a laugh. And self-importance,” he said, puffing out his chest.

I was beginning to regret asking.

“Oh, and ignorance! When humans boast about how little they know about a subject.” The squirrel slapped his knee and said in an affected tone, “I don’t know anything about science, but by golly, I know more than the scientists.” He started to giggle uncontrollably.

I asked if there were any good traits of humans that were part of the contest.

The squirrel had to think about it.

“I suppose there are, but humans don’t seem to be practicing them much these days. There’s quite a bit of heard mentality these days.”

“Don’t you mean herd?” I asked.

“No,” Archy replied. “People starting their conversations with, ‘Well, I heard...’ and it goes downhill from there. Too much second-hand information from social media circulating without any verification. Humans should take a break from their silos and try to see the world from a different point of view.”

“Archy,” I said, “Sometimes I think you’re a secret optimist when it comes to humans.”

“That’s because I like to think there’s good in all creatures,” he said, patting my hand. “Even humans.”

“Sometimes, so do I,” I said. _____________________________________________

Silica gel helps preserve color and shape of flowers.

4. Using Silica Gel takes several days to preserveyou will get preserved flowers with great color and shape retention. To speed the process - you could microwave the container with the flowers and gel, for about 3 minutes Celosia adds interest to your flower beds and your dried flower arrangements.

Ways to Dry Flowers Good for you! Growing everlastings for their beauty in the summer garden - straw flowers, globe amaranth, love -in-a-mist, statice, cockscomb and celosia.

Before the frost comes, you can cut them in the late morning (when dew is gone) to dry.

One way is to arrange in vase, put in cool dark place Cockscomb’s rich color and ununtil they are dry (2 weeks) usual shape makes it a natural Try some grasses, for an for dried arrangements. added airy feeling in the arrangement.

Or you can hang flowers in small bundles secured with rubber bands in a cool dark place. Hang upside down so stem doesn’t bend from being too heavy. The flower heads themselves may be laid out individually on a screen to dry.

Money plant just dries in the garden for you!

There are may ways to dry flowers, you can google the methods.

1. Microwave-dried flower method-doesn’t take much time. Be sure you have the microwave on ½ power, check every 30 seconds 2. Oven-dried flower method- makes colorful, shape-retaining dry flowers; heat oven to 200 degrees for 1.5-2 hrs.

3. Food dehydrator method- results in 24 Oven-dried flowers. hours. Convenient as you can put your flowers in- walk away, rotating them a few times in the 24 hours. Flowers maintain their shape and color some folks spray with unscented hair spray for protection.

Dried flower arrangements extends the beauty of summer into fall and winter.

Pressing Flowers Pressing flowers in a book - Now we have all done that - maybe it was our first corsage or some special occasions we wanted to remember always! This is definitely the easiest way to press flowers.

Experienced flower pressers use 3–12 sheets of folded newspaper to absorb moisture. moisture from the flowers would likely damage a book. I have used paper towels successfully. After closing the book, place the heaviest thing you have on top! (2-3 weeks) Many flowers will naturally turn brown or lose their original colors as they dry and react to chemicals on them, especially roses.

A properly dried flower will last years without any problems. Just keep the flowers away from excessive sunlight/humidity What do you say when you want a flower to drive faster? Floret.

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.]

Wowser, do I have a great idea! The other day on the radio there was a big story about Blackwater USA and how Mr. Blackwater is in some serious trouble. It seems the President paid Mr. Blackwater over three-quarters of a billion dollars to protect our soldiers and civilian contractors and government staff in Iraq, and they’ve done that, but they have hurt some innocent Iraqis along the way. The President is probably going to start looking elsewhere for security. And I know just where he can find it. Here!

At the last AAAC conclave, Emmett the German shepherd, Barney, our sergeant-at-arms, and I came up with this idea to start our own security force. If the President was happy to pay three-quarters of a billion dollars for bad work, he won’t have a problem with our fee. We ran the numbers and we can do the job for $86.75. That’s enough to get every AAAC member a box of Milkbones and a couple of rawhide chews or a package of Tender Vittles and some cream and catnip for the feline contingent. The security force, though, will be all canine.

We are going to call ourselves Makewater Danville.

From what I hear, one of the big problems is just telling the good guys from the bad guys, because the terrorists blend in with the citizens. And here’s where we can help..

First, the President will have to fly us somewhere that they don’t like Americans, like Baghdad or Sadr City or France. We can pass as Iraqi dogs just by taking off our collars to search for terrorists unobserved. And, when we find one, one of us will run in and pee on him. It is a fact that a dog’s nose can pick up the scent of urine that’s been diluted to one part in a million, so, no matter how the terrorist tries to wash off the scent, there will be a couple of days there where any dog can identify him. But who will do the identifying?

We are going to bid for that job, too, with a subsidiary of Makewater Danville called TerrorTrackers. Now, all the members of Makewater will also be TerrorTrackers, so we can do a little double-dipping.

We’ve already selected our taskforce. Members for our street operations will be me, Emmett, Heidi, who is also a

My sister Sunny wanted to come, too, but I heard there were some she-ites there, who, I guess, must be a pack of feminists. Anyway, these she-ites don’t seem to like Sunnys, but I don’t know why not – it’s a perfectly good name and quite cheerful!

Anyway, that’s our idea. We called Information and Cookie was able to say “White House” plainly enough for the robot lady to give us the number, so we texted the president and offered him our services. We assured him that, if any of us goes cowboy, he’ll just try to herd something.

Now, all we have to do is wait for his call. Anytime, Mr. President!

SUDOKU SOLUTION

Sump Pumps Most of our homes have a sump pump somewhere within the foundation of the home. It may be found in the basement or if you don’t have a basement, it would likely be in the crawlspace. As with anything mechanical, the sump pump requires upkeep and eventually replacement.

Before we get into the list of maintenance items, I need to emphasize if you have mechanicals in your basement or your basement is finished – I strongly recommend you have a battery backup system. The addition of a second pump operating off a marine battery, with a trickle charger, can be a life saver if either the power goes out during a storm or if the main sump pump fails. Now for the maintenance: 1) Check your power source. Both the sump pump and the battery charger should be firmly plugged into a close electrical outlet. Extension cords or power strips have a way of becoming unplugged leaving your system without power. The back-up pump marine battery will typically have an indicator light showing the remaining power of the battery.

2) Check the pump for automatic starts. You can always check the pump to see if it is functioning by reaching into the pit and pulling up the float. I recommend get either a bucket of water or a hose and filling the pit until the float rises causing the pump to come on. Many times the float can become tangled and blocked from properly floating and activating the pump. It is best to see the pump in action.

3) Then check the backup pump. Unplug the main pump and continue to fill the pit until the back-up pump engages.

Not only should the pump start, but there is typically an audible alarm to alert you are now running on auxiliary power.

4) Clear the pit of any debris. Hold the float up until the pit is nearly empty of water. Note: on most basement systems there is a check valve that holds the water in the vertical pipe from coming back down into the pit. Typically, between the check valve and the pump there is a small hole to release the rest of the water into the pit to take the pressure off the pump. This is normal. Once you can see the bottom of the pit, make sure there is nothing clogging the intake to the pump or interfering with the float.

5) While the pit is empty, make sure the pump is sitting level for optimum operation.

Sump pumps have a design life of 5 to 7 years. They typically go out during a time of extreme use. It is better to replace it prior to it failing. If you hate to fix something before it is broken, then have a backup ready to go. I recommend have an easy off fitting somewhere between the pump and the check valve. Install the matching fittings on the replacement pump having it ready for a quick replacement. When you hear the alarm during a storm you can quickly replace the none functioning pump. ______________________________________________

Community Celebrates the Plainfield Youth Assistance Program

By Melissa Gibson

Thursday, September 23, 2021

Level Two Hosts Free Summit For Local Entrepreneurs

It’s been a long time coming; The Plainfield Youth Assistance Program is an interlocal agreement with the Town of Plainfield, Hendricks County and Plainfield School Corporation, initiated through Hendricks County Judge Karen Love.

The program was discussed a few years ago and the progress slowed by the pandemic, but is now up and running. The program is a non-profit aimed at identifying and focusing on students in Plainfield with challenges.

It can be any challenge.

Some students exhibit signs of emotional or behavioral issues, others might just be struggling with their grades or at home.

“This is early intervention and prevention,” said Director Staci Hovermale.

“There are two members on staff and a lot of volunteers.

We get referrals through the school system, the police department, churches, parents and other agencies in the community and then we meet with them and find out what their needs are.”

Referrals range from a noticed hygiene change, a personality change or peer group change. Students may exhibit change in behavior or begin struggling with grades or attendance.

Love’s goal was to stop the path to the juvenile system and to keep students from falling behind. Volunteers and mentors undergo a background check and training. They dedicate themselves for one hour per week for one full year.

Once referred, an intervention advocate meets with the family and if the family declines, the process stops there. If the family is open to assistance, the Plainfield Youth Assistance Program can create a plan for either individual or family focus, mentoring, tutoring, resources and more.

“The plan is very individualized and we’re able to assist with food, sports, many different programs within the community,” Hovermale said.

“Right now, we see a lot of COVID-related issues. The anxiety, depression and instability in families right now has been really tough.

We want to work with families to empower them and use the resources in the community.”

The student has to be in the Plainfield Community School Corporation system and not part of the juvenile system or Department of Child Services (DCS) program.

The student or family is in the program for approximately 12 months, and the program hopes to arm families with the resources and connections they need to continue on their own.

“Some of our students just need an extra adult or mentor,” Hovermale said.

“Regardless of their envi-

The Plainfield Youth Assistance Program will celebrate their progress at a community event from 12-4 p.m., Saturday, Sept.

25 at Perry Crossing.

There will be face painting, food trucks and a DJ. Many of the community partners will be on hand to share their information and a large mural, (near the backside of JC Penny) created by local artist Kylin Brown will display awareness of the program.

What’s more, visitors will

have a chance to add their handprint to the mural for a $1 donation.

“The mural says, ‘Come Together and Thrive’,” Hovermale said. “We want to get out there and bring awareness to our program.

Raise some funds to offer assistance to the kids and their families and hopefully, when we’re done, the mural will remain as a reminder and a photo opportunity for those shopping at Perry Crossing.”

Pet Wants Delivers Food & More To Your Door

Michelle Maclin offers to-your-door delivery of private-lable pet food in Hendricks County. __________________________________________________

Michelle Maclin has spent most of her life with animals. She grew up on a farm, showed horses in 4-H, volunteered with local animal rescues and even co-owned a local doggy daycare and training facility.

Now she’s looking to serving even more pets and families through her new business: Pet Wants Indy West.

Pet Wants Indy West is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery in Hendricks County, including Avon, Danville, Brownsburg, Plainfield and the surrounding areas. Pet Wants’ specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients, enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl, all made in the USA. Pet Wants Indy West has multiple blends of dog and cat food formulas as well as healing salve, calming balm, anti-itch spray, paw wax and more.

“Animals have always played an important role in my life and I’m looking forward to helping them live longer, healthier, happier and more fulfilled lives as the owner of Pet Wants Indy West,” Maclin said. “Between our fresh food, our natural treats and our homemade products, we have something to suit every pet’s needs.”

Pet Wants has a money-back guarantee on the freshness and quality of the food, the company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There’s no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.

In addition to her work with animals, Maclin has a background in non-profit and business development and is training to be a certified pet nutritionist. She has three rescue dogs – Kino, Claude and Earl — and an adult daughter who is a registered dietician. She was the co-owner of Ruff House Adventures before deciding to step back from that business and launch Pet Wants.

“My daughter — who has a high-needs 9-year-old dog — is a customer at the Pet Wants in Noblesville and has had a great experience. As I was looking for a way to combine my passion for pets with my interest in animal nutrition, I realized Pet Wants was a perfect fit for me and for my community. I’m looking forward to making a difference both with our products and as a small business owner,” Maclin said.

Pet Wants was founded in Cincinnati in 2010 to bring fresh, natural and conveniently-delivered pet food to pet families. Their mission is to enhance the health, vitality and life of pets with high-quality food and honest advice from a Pet Nutrition Specialist on staff at each location.

Pet Wants pet food is personally delivered to homes within weeks of being made, at the height of freshness To learn more about Pet Wants Indy West, call 317674-6153, email MMaclin@PetWants.com or visit https:// www.petwants.com/IndyWest/.

Senior Center Food Pantry

September is Responsiblile Dog-Ownership Month. Here are some questions to consider: Are you feeding them the best nutrition possible?

Are you ensuring they get enought exercise?

When was the last time you took them to the vet for a checkup?

We are pet nutrition specialists and here to help.

Petwants.com/indywest

Hendricks County Senior Services offers a food pantry for Hendricks County seniors, including perishable, nonperishable, and hygiene products.

The food pantry is open by appointment. Please call 317-745-4303 to make an appointment to come to the food pantry.

Hendricks County Senior Services reserves the right to limit the number of visits. Individuals must be 60 years old or older and a resident of Hendricks County, to use the food pantry. Donations are always needed, accepted and appreciated.

All entrepreneurs and small business owners are invited to join the free seminar through Level Two, 2498 Perry Crossing Way, Unit 240, Plainfield, on Friday, Oct. 1.

The full-day event begins at 8 a.m. with a light breakfast and ends at 4:30 p.m. with a happy hour, connecting with other business owners and chatting with some of the professionals they’ve heard from throughout the day.

Every hour throughout the day, participants can choose from a variety of subjects such as how to improve financial projections, investment opportunities, mental health and stress management among other subjects.

Guests can come for one or two sessions, or they can stay the entire day.

“Many small business owners get stuck working on the technical aspects of the business instead of the details of the business,” said Executive Director, John Anderson.

“For example, if you are a plumber, you spend a lot of your time going to a customer’s home and doing the job versus looking at marketing or funding for growth.”

COVID wreaked havoc among the community and family households but surprisingly, many took the opportunity to launch a business idea they’ve had in the works for years.

“Data from 2020 says close to 25 percent more businesses were started during the pandemic and that trend is continuing,” Anderson said. “It pushed people to work from home, giving them an opportunity to work on that side business and it also created a lot of displaced people and people working a second job just to make ends meet.

It gave a lot more flexibility and allowed some to focus on their passions.”

Anderson said entrepreneurs are often wired a little differently. They see patterns among the economy or think through ways to do something more efficiently. They often try to make the best out of situations that occur.

“We’re having the summit in person because the community aspect of small businesses is incredibly important as a support structure,” Anderson said. “I hope each person finds what they need. If you need help with funding or you have an idea but don’t know how to develop a business structure, we have the professionals to help with that. We also want entrepreneurs to feel the support from the community. There are many resources out there.”

Speakers include representatives from Gutwein Law, Kinnamon Financial, Business Ownership Initiative, Sarah MacInnis from BOI, Mark Gramelspacher from Elevate Ventures, Kevin Hall from State Bank, Ben Pidgeon from VisionTech Partners, Chelsea DuKate Found with Red Envelope Consulting and April Bordeau from Care to Change.

Sponsors of the event include Rozzi and Associates, Bankable, State Bank, Town of Plainfield and the Hendricks County Economic Development Partnership.

Level Two is a nonprofit coworking space offering shared office space with Wi-Fi, printers and private meeting rooms. They offer small business support, workshops and networking opportunities to provide resources to the entrepreneurs in the community.

Up next, is a county-wide student pitch competition.

Think, televisions Shark Tank for high school students.

It gives them the opportunity to come up with a business idea, develop it at a local level and pitch the idea to a panel of judges. The initial video is due by November, reviewing the concept, target market and more and then the top ten applicants will be invited to participate in a live pitch competition in Dec.

Town of Avon’s NOVA Award Inspires Community Involvement and Recognition

Cascade junior, Addy Stevens shows of her ICC golf medal ___________________________________________________

By Chayner Wilkinson Given her recent success, many people would be shocked that one of the top Cadet golfers is only in her third season.

Junior Addy Stevens is one of the reasons the girls golf team just garnered runner-up bragging rights at the Indiana Crossroads Conference championship.

It was Stevens who was the frontrunner for her team with a low score of 89, which put her on the podium in a tie for third place overall.

Stevens is proud to be part of such a strong unit this year.

“I think our team has done extraordinarily well so far this season. There are always things that could be improved within a team. For ours specifically, we need to focus more on our short game; chipping and putting,” she said.

Winning on the course is great, but it is the wins off that might be more important.

Stevens said, “My favorite aspect of golf is by far the close bond I have with my teammates. They have grown to mean a lot to me and I love to see them do well.”

Stevens is confident not only in her abilities, but also the ones of her teammates. She and the rest of her team are currently undefeated in dual matches with plans to continue that streak.

“I believe that my team will wrap up our season confidently and with a few more wins as well,” she added.

With just a few seasons under her belt, Stevens has already fallen in love with the sport. “I would love to play golf in college if I have the opportunity, but otherwise, I will definitely keep it as one of my main hobbies,” she said. ______________________________________________

One Last Walk Through Old North Salem School

In August, the Town of Avon began a new program, awarding and recognizing members of the community for the good they are doing.

The NOVA Award is meant to inspire positivity and thankfulness to those that go the extra mile.

“The goal for the Avon NOVA award is very simple at it’s core; celebrating the simple and good in the world,” said Jared Wade, Communications Coordinator for the Town of Avon.

“Personally, I really enjoy focusing on the smaller things that people do that normally go un-noticed.

This is a way to celebrate them but also have the community be the ones that nominate and tell their stories.”

Joe and Suzy Walton were the first recipients of the award. The couple was nominated by Brittney Gulley, a nurse who brings her children to Suzy for daycare.

“We found out that Brittney was getting pulled into the COVID unit at the hospital and with a young daughter with asthma, we were concerned about how this might affect her,” Suzy said. “We had a camper in storage and brought it over to them so she could go in, take a shower and sterilize before walking into her house. They worked really hard not to cross contaminate.”

With five families attending Suzy’s daycare, the needs vary, and the couple have time and again filled those needs if possible.

Through the years, the Walton’s have also bought clothes for the children in their care, worked alongside the parents through stay-at-home orders and schooling from home and even kept children overnight if the family was dealing with work-related hours and issues.

Though Suzy said she wasn’t wild about being

in front of the public, she knew her father, a longtime resident of Avon was bursting with pride.

“My dad has lived here since 1968 and we grew up here and went to Avon schools. It’s cool to have been a part of Avon when it was small and we’ve watched it grow. My dad was so proud, and this is what’s he’s always taught us. We’ve all been in situations that you needed a hand up,” Suzy said. “It’s

just what you are supposed to do. There are good people in Avon and we’re all in this together.”

The second NOVA Award recipients were Gary and Beverly Akmin, staunch supporters of the Avon Police Department.

The Akmin’s regularly donate time, food and funds toward acts of kindness, working the grill at National Night Out and showing their love for the town they call home.

The nomination came from the Avon Police Department which said, “Gary and Beverly are down to earth, good people and love the town they live in. We appreciate all they’ve done for us. We couldn’t do what we do without them.”

As the nominations continue to roll in, the town council is excited to see who is recognized next.

“It’s exciting to see the council get excited,” Wade said. “They have been encouraging since the origination of the award and always asking who has been nominated and the good things they’re doing in the community.”

Suzy encouraged the community to think of those that make day-to-day life easier.

“Think about how many people use grocery pick up these days, all the delivery people that have helped us get through the pandemic. It’s nice to thank people that don’t always get thanked.”

Topping Ceremony Marks Finishing Phase of New Jail

Hendricks County officials and construction management posed with the topping beam after signatures were added and before it was hoisted into place for the new Hendricks County Jail.

A tradition dating back hundreds of years was something new for most of the people attending the topping off ceremony for the new Hendricks County Jail earlier this month.

Tony Anderson, Construction Manager from Garmong Construction Services explained it this way: “This topping out transitions us from the structural elements to the finishes. It’s also a day we can recognize the skilled trades and laborers that have been working to this point to get us here. The blue spruce signifies the safety of the project and to give good will to everyone that walks into the building from this day forward.”

“It is a monumental day in Hendricks County,” said County Commissioner Phyllis Palmer. “We have been working on a new jail for over 20 years. In a perfect world we wouldn’t need a jail but we all know its not a perfect world. It is our mission to bring these people in and send them out better than they were when they came SHERIFF BRETT CLARK in. Brett is doing a good job of that.”

Sheriff Brett Clark was indeed a force behind the push for a new jail and was aware of the symbolic importance of the topping ceremony.

“I know some of the traditions involved ,,,but I also love the idea that we have the American flag, folks. With all the stuff going on in the world today what is more appropriate than having that, right here, as the centerpiece of everything we have here. I could not be more proud that I got to be a small part of this.”

Council Hears Proposals From Insurance Agencies

The Danville Town Council opened by approving two proclamations: One to recognize national Constitution Week and another recognizing Vietnam Veterans Day. Scott Zaraee, a representative from Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita’s office, introduced himself and his services that were available to the Town.

Seven presentations were given by representatives seeking to become the Town’s Insurance Agent of Record.

They were allowed 10 minutes, but none took the full allotment. The agencies were: Gallagher Insurance; Morgan Insurance; Tackitt & Briggs; Huntington Insurance; RT Insurance; EPIC Insurance; and NPF. The decision was tabled for further review.

For the second time, a resolution that would provide opportunity the Council to express their resolve that Citizens are not forced to wear masks or be vaccinated for COVID-19, was tabled.

Ordinance 26-2021 was introduced, designating the Town’s purchasing agency and purchasing rule.

Ordinance 27-2021 was passed, reducing the speed limit on Meadowood Drive from 30 mph to 20 mph, after a traffic study was conducted.

Ordinance 29-2021 was introduced requesting super-voluntary annexation of property at 538 N CR 50 E,

by Constance Goodlander.

The annual Center Township Fire Contract was approved.

Town Manager Mark Morgan received approval for a traffic study to remove the east and west bound stop signs at Kentucky and Lincoln streets.

Letters To The Editor My Town’s Values?

During her first week in kindergarten last month, my daughter came home with a document that explained that it was normal to experience more than one feeling at the same time. I was glad for that reassurance because as a citizen of Danville, I have been having lots of different emotions recently in light of the school mask mandate/ quarantine debate that is raging right now.

I attended the school board meeting on September 13 where Danville school corporation’s COVID-19 policy was discussed. I felt proud because it was encouraging to see the large turnout of people from my town, who clearly care so much about and are taking advantage of the democratic process. I was impressed that there was even a high school student who stood up and spoke. Good for him.

But my primary emotions during the meeting and after were embarrassment, frustration, and astonishment. I think everyone at the meeting could agree on one thing: the close-contact quarantining of seemingly healthy children has taken a huge toll on the emotional and mental health of both the students and their parents. I believe Governor Holcomb understands this as well, as evidenced by his September 1 Executive Order directing schools and daycares to follow the Indiana Department of Health’s COVID-19 control measure. The control measure states that “schools and day cares that have mask requirements that are consistently followed throughout the day do not have to quarantine students, teachers and staff who are close contacts and aren’t showing symptoms of COVID-19.” This was our ticket out of close-contact quarantines! A win for everyone - hooray!

To my astonishment, our school board passed a motion doing away with mandatory close-contact quarantines, while still allowing masks to be optional. Our county is on the highest advisory level right now and the department responsible for our public health, as well as our elected governor, believe that masks should be worn in schools, yet our school board seemed to instead be swayed by the large number of people without any medical training who complained about wearing masks. To be sure, no one likes wearing a mask. Wearing one is irritating to adults and children (although the children seem to be handling it with more grace than the adults) and I don’t think anyone is arguing about that. But is the inconvenience of wearing a mask temporarily so great that we are going to put our children’s and our short and long-term health at risk? Further, what message does this send to the student who spoke at the meeting and all students in Danville? That directives from those in authority are optional?

As a Danville resident, I am embarrassed about the school board’s decision because it does not reflect what I believe are my town’s values. I thought we valued caring about others and their safety. I thought we valued small sacrifices for the greater good. I thought we valued teaching our children to respect authority. I thought we valued the opinions of those who are experts in their field.

I thought we supported our dedicated and heroic healthcare workers who are already burnt out. In my opinion, the school board’s recent decision runs afoul of every one of these values.

Danville Warriors Score Win Over Tri-West Bruins

By David Winters

It is everyone’s favorite week of football in these parts.

Danville. Tri-West. It truly does not get any better than this.

As hundreds of fans travelled just a few miles north on 39 and worked their way through the construction maze that currently surrounds Tri-West High School, finally settling in the visitor-side bleachers on a warm September night, you could cut the tension with a knife. Each team entered this matchup ranked in the top five in 3A football ready to battle for the famed Helmet, and of course, bragging rights for the next 365 days.

The first quarter was dominated, largely, by the defense for each team as both teams faltered on their opening offensive possessions. The home team Bruins would get the first ever-so-slight momentum shift halfway through quarter one when they drove the ball all the way to the Warrior 16-yard line. The stifling Danville defense would put an end to that, however, when they stopped Tri-West on fourth down, giving the Warriors their second crack at offense.

Quarterback Kale Payne and company would work with a surgeon’s precision against the Burins defense and cap off the show of offense with a 3-yard scamper into the end zone by Andrew Poppa. Danville would lead 7-0, after Caleb Harvey added the extra point.

The Warriors huddled around the helmet trophy after defeating Tri-West 14-17 during the annual rivalry. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

On the Bruins’ next offensive possession, BJ Wuest politely reminded the fans…and the Tri-West players…that he possesses some defensive skills as well when he picked of a deep pass by Bruin quarterback, Ty Owens, to end what would have likely been a great scoring opportunity for Tri-West.

Momentum would shift back in favor of the Burins when they forced a turnover of their own deep in Danville territory. They would cap off the short drive with a 1-yard push over the line, knotting the score at 7 apiece after the successful point after try. This would be the score at halftime.

The third quarter was a defensive quarter by both teams as both offenses struggled to get movement down the field. After several back-and-forth possessions, the visiting Warriors would control the tempo for the remainder of the game and eventually put together a nice offensive drive with Payne connecting with Tyler Dostin on a 30yard pass completion on fourth-and-five. Danville lead 14-7 and held off any late fourth quarter attempts by the Bruins to get back in the game.

Danville wins again, this time 14-7.

Payne would finish 10-18 with 151 yards passing and a touchdown. Poppa lead the team in rushing with 87 yards on 19 carries, and a touchdown.

Next up for the Warriors is homecoming weekend as they host Southmont, who comes into the contest undefeated with a 5-0 record.

DORIS MAE PRIVETT KORB, extraordinary wife, daughter, sister, aunt, great aunt & great great aunt died peacefully, September 18, 2021, surrounded by family, at Cumberland Trace Assisted Living in Plainfield where she and her husband had resided for two2 years.

Doris Mae Korb was born in Bicknell, Indiana January 3, 1932 to William Riley & Ruby Vale Privett. She was the eldest daughter of six children. William Riley (Lois) Privett and Donald Edward (Barbara) Privett preceded her in death.

Surviving siblings include Harold Lee (Alicia) Privett, Wanda Rose (Jim-deceased) Evans and Naomi Ruth (Joe) Jamison.

For many years, Doris was an active member of the Bicknell Church of the Nazarene and completed many trainings for young women in leadership & evangelism. Upon graduating from Bicknell High School, she & a friend took a bus to Bloomington to find employment. Doris was employed by Sarkes Tarzian Industries, Bloomington, Indiana building TV tuners from September 1952-July 1980. After the closing of Sarkes Tarzian she was employed at Dantec, Inc. from 1980-1983 until that business closed also. Doris spent every weekend in Bicknell with her mother, Ruby Vale Privett, and spoiling her many nieces and nephews. That number has grown to 3 generations of nieces and nephews that all count Doris as a “favorite aunt”. Annual escapades included mushroom, strawberry & persimmon picking, a special bunny cake at Easter, each child receiving a special Christmas gift, a balloon drop for New Year’s Eve & later fishing in Greene County It was at Sarkes Tarzian that she met the love of her life, David J. Korb. They were married May 5, 1984 and resided on their 80-acre tree farm, GraceGlen, in rural Greene County. Their interest included: conserving natural resources by planting evergreen trees, observing wildlife, encouraging native plant growth, visiting state parks and especially welcoming family and friends.

One of Doris’s favorite pastimes was caring for her lawn. She & David were also avid IU fans. Doris loved shirts with 2 pockets, blue jeans & her trusty sweater. David preceded her in death September 6, 2020. Doris will also be missed by the Korb extended family.

Services took place Tuesday, September 21, at Bicknell Memorial Gardens Mausoleum. Doris’s great nephew, J. Riley Weaver, officiated the service. Memorial contributions can be made to Bicknell Church of the Nazarene, 1125 Durbin Street, Bicknell, IN.

Senior Services Looking For SHIP Volunteers

A rewarding volunteer program at Hendricks County Senior Services is looking for volunteers for SHIP, the State Health Insurance Program.

This program is a free health insurance counseling service for people with Medicare. This is provided by the Indiana Sate Department of insurance and funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“Our SHIP counselors provide free impartial information to assist consumers in making decisions regarding their Medicare choices and questions” states Deanne Sanders-Below, coordinator of In-Home Services at Hendricks County Senior Services. “Ship is not affiliated with any insurance company or agency and does not sell insurance. They are staffed by a crew of volunteer counselors who have completed intensive training to offer objective assistance in complete confidence,” states Below.

SHIP is driven by volunteers who are committed to helping people with Medicare determine the best healthcare choices for their individual situations and to be good consumers of Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, Part D Drug Coverage, Long Term Care Financing and Low-Income Assistance Programs.

To become a SHIP counselor, you must complete a 30hour training, either virtually or in-person; complete volunteer shadowing, additional training in the spring and fall and have a desire to help Medicare Beneficiaries in your community.

If you are interested in an important and rewarding volunteer opportunity, please contact Deanne Sanders-Below at 317-910-5367 or the State’s SHIP office at 1-800-4524800. You can also visit www.medicare.in.gov and click the “Become a SHIP Volunteer” link for more information _____________________________________________.

Bayer Fund Grants Help Farmers Grow Their 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.

Listen to HSO Online

The Hendricks Symphony Orchestra is offering new and encore performance on their website, www.HendricksSymphony.org. Click on “Media” then on “Recordings.”

New listening options will be added from time to time, so check back often!

Donations toward thes HSO’s 2020-2021 season may be made by visiting the “Donate” page on the website. _____________________________________________

“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.

NOTICE OF HEARING ON PROPOSED FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE AVON COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION

You are hereby notified that a public hearing will be held before the Board of School Trustees (the “Board”) of Avon Community School Corporation (the “School Corporation”) on October 25, 2021 at the hour of 5:30 p.m. (Local Time) at 7203 E. US Highway 36, Avon, Indiana, upon a proposed Fifth Amendment to Lease (the “Fifth Amendment”) to be entered into between Avon Community School Building Corporation (the “Building Corporation”), as lessor, and the School Corporation, as lessee.

The proposed Fifth Amendment upon which the hearing will be held amends the existing Lease Agreement originally dated June 10, 1996, as previously amended (the “Original Lease”, and together with the Fifth Amendment, the “Lease”). The Fifth Amendment extends the term of the Original Lease, increases the rent payable thereunder and modifies the definition of “Leased Premises” by adding the real estate upon which the south classroom addition will be constructed to Avon High School (“Tract III”) to the existing High School previously encumbered by the Original Lease (“Tracts I & 11” and together with Tract III, the “Leased Premises”). The Fifth Amendment extends the term of the Original Lease to December 31, 2043 and provides for rent during renovation for use of Tracts I & II of the Leased Premises in the amount of up to $6,353,500 per payment payable on June 30 and December 31 beginning on June 30, 2022 until completion of Tract II. The Fifth Amendment also increases the annual Lease rental by a maximum of $12,707,000, payable on June 30 and December 31 beginning with the completion of the building on Tract III or December 31, 2023.

As additional rental, the School Corporation shall maintain insurance on the Leased Premises as required in the Lease, shall pay all taxes and assessments against such Leased Premises, as well as the cost of alterations and repairs, and shall pay rebate amounts to the United States Treasury, if necessary. After the sale by the Building Corporation of its bonds (the “Bonds”) to pay for the cost of the construction, renovation and improvements, including any other expenses incidental thereto, the increased annual Lease rental stated above shall be reduced to an amount equal to the multiple of $1,000 next higher than the sum of principal and interest due on the Bonds in each twelve-month period ending on January 15 plus $5,000, payable in equal semiannual installments.

The Lease gives an option to the School Corporation to purchase the Leased Premises on any Lease rental payment date.

The Leased Premises is the Avon High School located at 7575 East County Road 150 South, Avon, Indiana located in the School Corporation.

The plans and specifications, including the estimates for the cost of the construction, renovation and improvement, as well as a copy of the proposed Amendment, are available for inspection by the public on all business days, during business hours, at the Administration Building of the School Corporation, 7203 East US Highway 36, Avon, Indiana.

At such hearing all persons interested shall have a right to be heard upon the necessity for the execution of the Amendment, and upon whether the increased Lease rental provided for therein to be paid to the Building Corporation is a fair and reasonable rental for the construction and renovations of the Leased Premises. Such hearing may be adjourned to a later date or dates, and following such hearing the Board may either authorize the execution of the Amendment as originally agreed upon or may make modifications therein as may be agreed upon with the Building Corporation.

Dated this 23rd day of September, 2021.
