Auditions for HSO Chorus

Photo: Town of Amo Newsletter

In many small towns, the post office is the heart of the community, and for 22 years, Dennis Watson was the postmaster in the Clay Township town of Amo. With no intown delivery, Amo residents headed to the post office to pick up their mail, as well as information about what was going in in the town, and maybe a little gossip.

Dennis Watson passed away Sept. 1, 2020. Recently, David Huseman, a resident of Amo during Watson’s tenure, donated a bench to be placed in front of the post office. A handy place to sit and sift through your mail, or just to slow down and appreciate life in a small town.

The words on the bench are “In loving memory of Dennis Watson - Postmaster. Always in our hearts. ______________________________________________

Our Apology Last week, a problem with the software we use to lay out the paper caused a delay in getting it to the press in Greencastle and thereby that issue was received late by our suscribers. We apologize for being late, but are heartened to know that the many suscribers who called the office did so out of concern and not complaint. From the days of hand-set cold type, through the era of the Linotype, to the advent of computerized pagination accidents happen and mistakes are made.

What remains consistant is the value our subscribers put on “their” newspaper. We apologize for the delay but thank you for your support.

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: Old-time comportment guidelines, I find, are generally most instructive.

From 1882, I learned tilting back in your chair at the dinner table and idly drumming on your head with a fork is condemned in good society.

When introduced to a young lady, “immediately ask her age and the size of her shoes.

This will put you on an easy conversational plane.”

I’ve never been that charming.

The Republican advised in 1895 that nothing beyond a bow was required when men or women were introduced to you. I shall remain silent when next I meet someone.

If you were a boarder or a guest at a big mansion in 1882, you never hurried down for dinner if someone was running late. Wait at least half an hour. It just might be you next time crawling around looking for a lost collar button. Or possibly misplaced dentures.

Readers were advised in 1880 not to interrupt when another was speaking. Nothing was recommended when the speaker wouldn’t allow a word in edgewise. I’m constantly in this situation, my thoughts inaudible. For that reason, I’m considered mysterious and potentially aloof.

If you can speak, never shout during conversation. Instead, “a firm, clear, distinct, yet mild, gentle, musical voice, has great power.”

Never condemn ugly people, particularly when one or more with that “defect” are within earshot.

Union readers in 1881 discovered it was quite the faux pas – at least among Austrian ladies “of high station” – to serve two dishes of the same color in succession. One Austrian lady did and it was “a fault for which she was hardly to be forgiven.” I bet it was sweet corn and squash. Possibly peppers.

Laramie Boomerang editor Bill Nye advised in 1883 against loving a young woman without her knowledge or consent, or “she will hit you with something and put a Swiss sunset over your eye.”

Instead, “give her 20 or 30 years in which to see your merits.”

Sound suggestion.

“The main thing you have to look out for now is to restrain yourself from marrying people who do not want to marry you.”

Again, sagacious counsel.

Dear Editor, the defunct Brownsburg Record’s etiquette columnist in 1923 was just as wise in describing a “real gentleman.”

If dining with his beloved at his future mother-in-law’s residence and the old woman launches into a coughing fit, the gentleman quietly rises “with a manner full of respect and consideration,” and proceeds to pound her on the back with his fist until the episode passes.

And if you’re taking a young lady for a motor ride, never insist she pony up for all the gas and oil. Rather, “if she wants to buy a new tire occasionally do not mar her pleasure by refusing.”

Danville in the mid-1800s was divided into a class society and the twain never mixed.

Population was somewhat beyond 1,000.

“It is a well-known, as well as a lamentable, fact that for a number of years Danville society has been considerably split up.”

The Union in 1876 identified three to four classes, “each holding aloof from the other, and seldom, if ever, co-mingling in social, or even neighborly, intercourse.”

I know the populace at the town’s southwest was seedier, but that was decades later.

As well, that far back hardly anyone lived on the other side of the railroad tracks.

“Cod-fish aristocracy” occupied the top berth. Those folks were “galvanized, silver-plated and gold-mounted.” Most likely, they were the ones who paid attention to etiquette and fashion recommendations emanating from New York and Paris.

They deigned not to mingle with the middle class, “hence they have been left alone in their glory to waste their sweetness on the desert air.”

The middle class, in turn, “have turned the cold shoulder to those of the lower class.”

The fourth class was not identified. Perhaps mentioning that caste was forbidden.

As a result, “the beautiful embryotic city of Danville” had been unable to assemble enough young people to “compose a social party large enough to be dignified by the name.”

Times were changing. The cod fish wanted to mingle with the masses, particularly during election time.

Danville could be on the cusp of “the dawn of a better day.”

Paul Miner Lizton ______________________________________________________________________

East Coast Report by Jerry Vornholt [The Republican’s publisher shares observations and reflects on his recent trip to his home state of Delaware.]

The Boardwalk, A Lesson in 3 Acts: Part II, John and Brenda “Hey,” a stranger yelled out to me while I walked on the boardwalk trying to take a picture of the sun rise, “You want me to take a picture with you and the sunrise?”

I had no idea who this person was, but he and his wife were sitting on one of the boardwalk benches with Yeti mugs full of coffee and wearing naturally gentle smiles.

“Uh, no, I’m good. Thanks for asking though,” I answered.

“Well, you should enjoy every sunrise of every day if you can,” he replied. “Yes,” his wife echoed, “we come out every day to walk and watch the sunrise.”

I got up late and wanted to run to the beach to catch the sunrise. I had no idea why this lovely couple started talking to me. That is, until 30 minutes later, after having shared an abridged version of their lives and mine.

John was a salesman for a commercial contractor in New Jersey for 50 years. Brenda raised the kids. About two years ago, John had a life-threatening heart attack. He and Brenda concluded every day was a blessing so they committed they would wake up every morning and drive to the boardwalk to watch the sunrise (yes, even in winter). Over the course of two years, they made lots of boardwalk friends. We were constantly interrupted by passersby. “Morning John, morning Brenda,” said one. “Hey John, I see you found another victim,”said another nodding towards me.

John and Brenda were just two content people enjoying the moments they were living in. They remind me of some of our readers. People who make me want to be better.

Letter to the Editor: Indiana Democrats have been working hard to include Indiana small towns and farming communities in our national programs. President Biden and our elected Democratic representatives delivered big-time with the American Rescue Plan. All 92 Indiana counties received pandemic relief.

The Indiana agricultural community will receive $100 million to address food supply and other infrastructure programs. Hendricks County has seen the problems of inadequate broadband capacity, especially on the west and southern areas. Indiana received $250 million to upgrade services.

Many farm families have second incomes from other jobs and childcare services is a big concern. The state has received $540 million to upgrade childcare facilities and provide resources for their employees.

The Biden administration has also allocated $146 million for sustainable research projects to improve farming methods and reduce environmental damage.

The biggest impact to our future success is the investment in education that Indiana has been able to make with the funds from the American Rescue Plan. This year we are finally fully funded, educators are receiving pay raises, and money is available for Covid19 mitigation costs.

Your Republican representatives voted “No” on the American Rescue Plan, check their voting records. Indiana Democrats are still letting Washington know about our citizens and their concerns. As a result, the Biden administration is really helping hard working people in our communities.

Statehouse Intern Applications Due October 31

Hendricks County legislators encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply online for internships at the Indiana Statehouse before the October 31 deadline.

According to State Rep. Greg Steuerwald (R-Avon), the House of Representatives offers paid spring internships to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns will work at the Statehouse in Indianapolis for the duration of the 2022 legislative session lasting January through mid-March.

“The deadline to apply for a House internship is quickly approaching,” Steuerwald said. “It’s always exciting when I get to work with interns from Hendricks County, welcome them to the Statehouse and watch their careers take off. I hope students from our community apply soon and are able to benefit from the opportunity.”

According to State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton), spring-semester internships are available in several departments working with Indiana House Republicans. Positions are available in the Legislative Operations Department where interns work directly with constituents and help track legislative committee activity. The Communications Department is looking for interns to help write press releases, and work with social media campaigns, graphic design and audio/video production. The Policy Department is also in need of interns to help research, track and analyze legislation.

“Interns are paired with a staffer and group of lawmakers, and they will work on a variety of issues and projects throughout the legislative session,” Thompson said.

“From covering committee hearings and press conferences to researching bills and writing news releases, each day is a unique opportunity to gain new skills and learn more about potential laws and topics that are being debated.”

State Rep. Bob Behning (R-Indianapolis) said House interns work full time, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. They receive biweekly compensation of $750, free parking, career and professional development support, and enrollment access to an Indiana government class. Interns can also earn academic credit through their college or university and are eligible to apply for a $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.

“This internship paves the way for young professionals to find jobs in their career field,” Behning said. “We have interns who stay on as House staff, while others make meaningful connections with industry leaders that lead to other internships and full-time employment opportunities.

No matter your major, a House Republican internship will be a launching point for your future.”

New Brownsburg VA Clinic to Open Oct. 25

The new Brownsburg VA Clinic is located at 557 Pitt Road, Brownsburg.

The facility offers specialty services including physical therapy and occupational therapy. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson

Specialist Alex Phillips said the major benefit to the new location is the expanded specialty services, now available closer to home.

“We’ll provide a variety of mental health services, including routine psychological evaluations, individual and group therapies and referrals to specialized care like substance abuse programs and trauma programs,” Phillips said.

Veterans across Hendricks County will have a new location to attend healthcare appointments and services by the end of the month.

The Brownsburg facility will replace the VA Clinic on West 38th Street and the new building will offer expanded services at a location closer to home.

“We want to make VA services convenient for you and we’re placing clinics in areas where you live,” said Brownsburg Medical Center Director Laura Ruzick.

The 78,000 square foot building will house 12 primary care teams, caring for up to 15,000 veterans, with 145 employees and is the first national lease signed as a part of the Veterans Choice 2.0 bill.

“We will have a staged opening,” Ruzick said. “On Oct. 25, we’ll offer primary care, mental health and social work appointments. Throughout the first week, there will be a health benefits unit on site in the lobby to help veterans sign up for services. Then, on Nov. 1, our specialty departments such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, neurology and cardiology will be open for appointments.”

A virtual open house and informational meeting was held via Zoom and Facebook last week and was also broadcast at the Brownsburg American Legion Post 331.

Several specialists explained their role at the new Brownsburg facility and gave updated information regarding current programming.

Director Laura Ruzick and Pharmacist Kelli Yaros are excited to offer onsite pharmacy services. ____________________________________________________

Dr. Lekshmi Natarajan has been working at the Indianapolis VA Clinic for the past 11 years.

“At Brownsburg, we will be taking new patients and there will be access to excellent primary care. We can typically accommodate appointments within four days. The examination rooms have been designed to provide the best healthcare.”

In fact, their customer care model allows for the patient to stay in one consultation room as staff members come to them.

On Chancellor’s List at Troy U.

Two local students were named to the Chancellor’s List for Term 1 of the 202122 academic year at Troy University in Alabama: ▪ Annette Burke, Plainfield.

▪ Eric Long, Plainfield.

The audiology department will offer hearing tests, assist with hearing aids and repairs and a full round of other audiology services. The optometry department will expand from one optometrist to four at the Brownsburg location and includes an optical shop for patients to choose glasses or get repairs.

The building features an open floor plan, with large windows and plenty of seating. Along with large patient care rooms, conference areas are provided for the many group therapy sessions available. Spacious parking will be a benefit, particularly for those who were traveling downtown for appointments and pharmacy services will be available, staffed with five pharmacists and five technicians, often making a stop to the facility a one-stop-shop.

Current patients should receive a letter or phone call in the coming days regarding the transfer of their appointments. If a patient currently has an appointment at the Indy West VA Clinic, that facility is now closed and all existing appointments will be transferred automatically to the Brownsburg facility. No phone call or follow up is necessary.

Non-native Asian busy honeysuckle moves into woods and roadsides and takes over. At Sodalis Nature Park, the invasive rings the parking lot and chokes the woods. ____________________________________________________

Non-native Asian bush honeysuckle.

Plant Invasion The weather so far this autumn has been, well, “falllike”...rainy one day, sunny and warm (or hot) the next.

John and I have enjoyed biking along the Vandalia Trail between Amo and Coatesville. We’ve puttered around McCloud and strolled in Sodalis. The trees are getting a bit of color and the asters are dying back. The berries on the honeysuckle are thick. . . and there’s the problem.

Most of the honeysuckle we see in Indiana are non-native, invasive species. When I say “invasive,” I mean they have taken over the woods and roadsides.

Asian honeysuckles were introduced to the U.S. in the 1800s from Japan, China, Korea, Turkey, and Russia.

(One source says it was brought over as early as 1806 to Long Island, New York.) The plants, vining and shrub varieties, were used in landscaping because they have pretty flowers that smell amazing. The white, cream or pink blossoms attract hummingbirds, bees, and other The easiest method to dispollinators. They are very tinguish native honeysuckle hardy and can survive bit- from the invasive Asian varietter cold winters as well as ies is to break a branch. The non-native species branches sweltering summers. The are hollow.

Asian honeysuckle leaf out earlier and stay green longer than the native varieties. In the late summer, they produce a bright red, glossy berry that attracts birds. That sounds great! So what happened?

Why shouldn’t I like this plant?

Asian honeysuckles grow fast! Not satisfied with their little spot in the garden, they wanted more space. They jumped the garden fence and escaped into the wild.

Once out of reach of gardeners’ pruners, the Asian honeysuckle varieties have exploded. They are now labeled as invasive in all but seven states (Arkansa, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota) including Hawaii and Puerto Rico! Asian honeysuckles have unfair advantages over our native plants. They don’t have

useful tips for homeowners

Fall Check List Along with the change of seasons comes those task that should be done to prepare us for what is ahead. Like it or not, with every page of the calendar turns we get one day closer to winter and colder weather. Here is a short list of tasks we should have on our To-Do List: ❏ Furnace Check-up – It is strongly recommended we have our furnace checked and tuned up. Prior to the heating season to help it perform at its best and avoid winter breakdowns. ❏ Clear a Path – Nothing should be touching the outer envelope of the home. Trees and bushes rubbing the roof or side walls should be trimmed back to prevent damage during winter storms. Wood piles and anything else should be pulled away from the home to prevent outdoor creatures from nesting next to our homes and allow moisture to dry. ❏ Caulking – Check all construction material transitions to assure all cracks are filled. Windows, doors, brick to wood siding all should be weather tight. ❏ Paint Touch-Up – Now is the time to protect any exposed wood to prevent damage over the winter. If you don’t have time for a complete paint job, at least touch-up with a protective coat. ❏ Seal Driveways & Walks – The freeze and thaw during the winter not only causes those potholes on the roads, but it will damage our walks and driveway. If you don’t have time to seal the entire driveway, at least caulk the cracks.

any natural controls to keep them in check. The weather doesn’t stop them. There are no bugs or diseases to slow them down.

The Asian bush varieties, (Amur, Tartarian, Morrow) fill in the area under trees in yards and woodlands and line roadways and trails. (When I say “bush,” these are not the shrubs planted around a house. They grow up to 15-feet tall!) With their thick foliage, they shade out the wildflowers. Soon there is only bare dirt under all the bushes.

Honeysuckle roots are shallow and do nothing to hold the ground in place. When it rains, there’s nothing to stop the soil from eroding. Not only do the soil nutrients wash away, the sediment can also pollute nearby waterways.

Honeysuckles have toxins that ‘poison’ the soil. Trees’ seeds can’t germinate and produce new saplings so the woods are not renewed and slowly die.

Wildlife isn’t crazy for the Asian honeysuckle. Deer don’t like to eat the plant like they do native plants. This offers the non-natives an additional advantage. They’re safe from being eaten while their competition is being munched. Birds will eat the fruit, which is high in carbohydrates, but it’s not as nutritional as native berries. Asian bush honeysuckles don’t provide adequate protection for animals and birds. The “naked” ground underneath the shrub allows snakes and other predators better access to burrows and nests. The foliage also harbors ticks which carry disease.

Land conservatives, park and natural resource departments, and property owners are constantly battling invasive species. Honeysuckle is just one of their targets. Autumn olive, garlic mustard, and even kudzu are just among a few on the Hit List. These agencies are always recruiting volunteers for Weed Wrangles. As an everyday citizen, what can you do to help? Number One: Don’t buy or get starts from plants banned under the Terrestrial Plant Rule as illegal to “sell, gift, barter, exchange, distribute, transport, or introduce.” (See the official list on the DNR webpage.)

Take it one step more and check on the invasive status of plants before you purchase them for your landscaping.

Callery pear and burning bush are two that don’t appear on the Official List but are incredibly invasive. To be a real Plant Superhero, choose native plants. Many native varieties that are just as lovely and much better behaved.

There’s even native honeysuckle. It has pretty flowers and smells marvelous. Its blooms are brilliant red and coral and also attract pollinators. They’re hardy and produce berries for the birds… and it belongs here.

Several Weed Wrangles in our communities are coming up this Fall if you’re interested in helping out.

▪ October 23 Sodalis Nature Park, Plainfield ▪ November 6 Williams Park, Brownsburg ▪ November 20 Gibbs Park, Plainfield ▪ December 11 Williams Park, Brownsburg For more details, check out the website at: https://hendrickscountyimc.wordpress.com ❏ Weather Stripping – Check both your doors and windows to make sure the weather stripping is still intact and pliable. Over time the rubber dries out and may need replaced to make a good seal between the window and frame. ❏ Exterior Faucets – Unhook all hoses to prevent water from being held in the fixture which can freeze and burst the pipes. ❏ Crawlspace – One last tour of the crawlspace to make sure the sump pump is working, vents are closed, insulation is around the exterior walls and the door is properly closed. ❏ Fireplace – If you still burn wood, consider having the flu checked for any creosol build-up. Don’t be one of those 25,000 chimney fires that happens in the US each winter. ❏ Clear the Gutters – once most of the leaves have fallen, clean the gutters. If the gutters don’t flow properly, you can get ice damming which can cause melting ice and snow to back-up and damage the inside of our homes.

Water is our enemy, we want it moving away from the home, both in the summer and winter.

A little work now and you can sit back and relax on those long winter nights. Start checking it off your list. _____________________________________________

Our Readers Write Dear Editor; Thanks for the report on Rally Master Tim Macsay’s efforts organizing and executing the Seventh Annual Hendricks County Museum Road Rally October 6th. My wife and I participated for the third consecutive year and it was a great time. The Great Chocolate Caper theme was a fun idea, and the prizes of miniature chocolate Corvettes were much appreciated. When I read [in The Republican, of course!] that the rally would be limited to 30 cars this year, we pre-registered right away to be sure we were “in.” As much fun as it is and the fact that participation has been growing exponentially, I was surprised to see that the limit of 30 cars was not reached this year. Folks should look forward to next years’ event.

Less enjoyable was the unsigned Page A-6 editorial, “Here We Grow Again.” The author should have been identified. [Editor- See correction above this letter.] He or she makes valid points about Danville’s growth, but disparaging President Trump in the discussion of dying small towns elsewhere, suggesting that dying small towns are characterized by, “shuttered storefronts, weed-choked sidewalks, tattered Trump flags, and failing schools,” is ridiculous.

The Indiana Secretary of State’s Official 2020 Election Results report that Donald Trump and Mike Pence received 60.8% of the votes cast in Hendricks County, over 5% greater than their state-wide margin of 57%. Since Hendricks County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the state, the author suggesting that Trump supporters live in dying small towns occupied by uneducated rubes from “failing schools” is not factual. After finishing the Great Chocolate Caper Road Rally, my wife and I drove over to the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival Saturday for the afternoon. We noted many pro-Trump signs along U.S. 36, none of them tattered, and a plethora of pro-Trump materials offered for sale at the various booths in Mansfield.

The author’s energies would be better spent helping solve Danville’s horrific east-west traffic flow, rather than mischaracterizing as backwater occupants of dying smalltowns, people who voted for secure borders, energy independence, a respect for life from conception to natural death, and a sound economy fueled by free enterprise... rather than inflation-inducing, economy-stagnating government hand-outs from the gaggle of hackneyed, otherwise unemployable career politicians who seized control of our country’s governance back in January.

Nonetheless, The Hendricks County Republican has become more interesting under its new ownership, and we look forward to each week’s issue. As soon as someone is in the office to take our credit card number to renew our subscription for next year, we’ll be happy to tender it.

By Archy I was telling Archy about the plans for the new pre-Halloween event on the square on October 29. Then I asked if the squirrel community observed the holiday.

“Interesting you should ask,” the squirrel answered.

“We’ve been discussing it at the Squirrel Salon. The young squirrels do engage in “trick-or-tree” - they approach neighborhood nests with a knock-knock joke. If the nest occupant finds it amusing, they hand out nuts wrapped in autumn leaves.”

Sounded pleasant enough to me. I asked what the Squirrel Salon members had in mind.

“We’ve discussed organizing some positive vandalism,” he said. “Nothing harmful or permanent, things that would only provoke better behavor.”

I asked for examples.

“We were thinking about taking a page from Candy Chang, the artist who uses public spaces to uncover the complexity of the inner life,” he explained. “For example, we considered using non-permanent markers on stop signs.”

“And do what?” I ventured, cautiously.

“Add words, of course,” Archy said. “Our most popular phrase to add under ‘STOP’ would be ‘...AND THINK.’ “About what?” I asked.

“That’s the beauty of brevity,” the squirrel replied.

“The human mind will fill that in. Some might be thinking about something they did that caused hurt feelings. Others might be encouraged to think more kindly and not to cause hurt to others. A verbal Rorshach test, you might say.”

I started to see a point to the proposal.

“Another thought was to put messages on the sidewalk, like Ms. Chang does. To write, ‘Why aren’t you looking up?’ or ‘Be couragous today.’ We’ve started a list,”Archy said.

Sometimes the squirrel community scares me. But in a good way.

The Republican Little Evergreen Has Big Landscaping Impact

Thursday, October 21, 2021

Spotlight on the Arts Karla Janning shines a spotlight on the arts in our county with reviews & and behind-the-scenes interviews.

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

The dwarf Alberta spruce, also known as the dwarf white spruce is a small, dense evergreen.

This slow-growing, dense conifer will grow 10-12 feet high but takes 25-30 years to reach that height. It’s a good choice for small spaces. The spruce is prefect for our Indiana weather. Alberta spruce can handle high winds, cold temperatures, heat and drought. This evergreen would be excellent for a small space.

Having a pyramidal form, with soft, light green needles, it provides a unique vertical accent to your landscape.

Specialty pruned spiral or sheared forms are available.

will tolerate some shade. Choose a northern or eastern exposure to reduce the chance of winter burn due to the winds and afternoon sun. Allow 3-4 feet from the center of the planting hole to the house.

Plant:. Dig a hole the depth of container and two to three times wider. Remove a wire or netting if attached.

Then wet root ball and loosen the roots. Fill hole tamping lightly and mulch with 2 to 4 inches of shredded bark to conserve moisture. remember to keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Dwarf Alberta spruces may need a little pruning to maintain their compact, pyramidal shape. Sometimes spider mites can be a problem. Make sure you water each week, right up until the ground freezes hard for the winter season. I would water it for the next year. Established plants are drought tolerant.

Welcome back! The Hendricks Civic Theatre is pleased to announce their reopening after an 18-month hiatus due to the pandemic. Their first show is I Hate Hamlet, directed by Marie Beason. The show opened October 14 17 and runs again October 21-24. The Thursday-Saturday shows are at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday shows are at 2:30 p.m.

I Hate Hamlet is a comedy about a TV star, Andrew Rally, (played by David Johnson) that has been cast in a Shakespeare in the Park run of Hamlet. He is trying to decide if he can pull off the acting required for Shakespeare like his idol John Barrymore played by Tony Record. His actress girlfriend, Dierdre McDavey, played by Alaine Sims, is obsessed with Shakespeare and finds the thought of her boyfriend playing Hamlet very romantic.

There are three other supporting characters, Amy Carroll playing Felicia Dantine, Jeff Fuller playing Gary Peter Lefkowitz, and Karen Temple playing Lillian Troy, that all have their funny moments where they give their advice as to whether he should or should not play the part.

This cast does an amazing job of taking you on the journey and helps you laugh about the nuances of Shakespeare and how over the top it can be!

One of those actors, Jeff Fuller, has a special connection to the Longstreet Playhouse where HCT calls home.

Back when the playhouse was a church, Jeff’s grandfather was the minister of the church. Jeff remembers coming there as a child. When you come and see the show see if you can find the picture of his grandfather on the stage.

Hendricks Civic Theatre welcomes everyone to come enjoy some community theatre again. We miss our patrons and need you to help our season be successful. Go to www.hendrickscivic.com to order tickets online and check out the Covid policy. There will be no tickets sold at the door so you must order your tickets online. Come support the arts and take yourself to see a little bit of Shakespeare and a whole lot of fun! _____________________________________________

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.]

Yow – yow – WOO yow WOOO! In case you didn’t recognize it, that’s me singing “On the Road Again!” My humans took me on a great trip! I’ve heard other humans talking about trips to Florida or New York or Europe, but we went someplace better! We went to Nebraska!

Yep! To Nebraska!

They took me back to Auburn, Nebraska, to see the folks at Hearts United for Animals, which is the good place I lived after they took me away from the bad place where I was a puppy. I lived at HUA for about a year and a half while my fractured hip was being treated. Then, my Danville humans saw my picture on HUA’s website and knew I was their dog! When they adopted me, I flew from Nebraska, all the way to Cincinnati, where my female human picked me up and brought me to Danville.

HUA has really grown, which is good, I guess, but that means there have been lots more homeless animals to take care of. It’s a place where no animals are put down if they aren’t adopted. They are cared for until the end of their natural lives, so there are some really old dogs there. I even saw some dogs that were there at the same time I was!

I was happy to see Miss Carol, who runs HUA and who took such good care of me when I was hurt. She even got a veterinary school to donate two operations to rebuild my hip! One of my back legs is shorter than the other, but that doesn’t slow me down! When I am happy, my whole butt wags! And I butt-wagged the whole time we were at HUA! There are big buildings with large inside runs that connect with huge, fenced exercise yards outside. It’s really neat! There are climbing towers in the middle of the yards that dogs can get on top of to see a long way! There’s also an agility playground for training some of the more athletic dogs. I myself didn’t do the agility course, but I was perfectly willing to stand back and shout helpful advice to my friends who were training! Some of the dogs have won awards for their athletic talents!

I did go to the memorial garden where flowering trees and shrubs are planted for dogs that have crossed the rainbow bridge. Of course, nothing was flowering yet, but Miss Carol said it was beautiful when it was all blooming.

We didn’t stay long, but it was long enough for me.

HUA was my home for a while, and it was nice to see it again. I guess a little of me stayed in Nebraska, and I feel like I brought a little of Nebraska back here, but I’ll always think of Danville as my home. It’s where I have been the happiest and where I have been loved the most. And that’s home.

What do you call a tree that does martial arts?

Spruce Lee.

ANoteFromBee I am fast approaching my 82nd birthday. I have have received some special presents during that time. I have five that stand out in my memory.

A pendant with a diamond in it (I never take it off because all the members of my family contributed to it), a surprise party for my 70th, and 2 work days.

The best present of all was sent to me by longtime dear friend Dottie for my 60th. We met in 5th grade at St. Joan of Arc grade school. We are still friends. Dottie moved out of state a few years after getting married. We communicated through letters and when she visited her mother from time to time, she would visit me. Dottie had saved all my letters for some 25 years. She picked quite a few of them out and sent them to me as my 60th birthday present. What a thoughtful, creative gift. By the time she sent me the letters we had started using computers and we were sending e-mails rather than letters. Dottie told me she could not save all my e-mails. Reading those letters brought back so many memories.

JUST AN OBSERVATION Heartache

By Janet Beam There are all kinds of heartaches – losing a loved one, broken friendships, broken relationships, a wayward child or grandchild, illness and disease, all sorts of misfortunes can cause heartache.

But has your heart ever ached over a beautiful day?

What about a quiet evening walking during a gentle snow when all the world around you is silent? Seeing an old picturesque farmhouse and imagining the grandma and grandpa who live there? Sitting around the supper table with your loved ones and bantering back and forth about this and that? Sitting on the front porch enjoying a good book? Kissing your sweet grandma’s face? Walking while the leaves are falling all around you? Being homesick for the past and those who are no longer here? Holding a sleeping child? Driving through the countryside admiring the grazing cattle?

Heartaches are not always bad. Sometimes we just need to let the simple things in life touch our soul and make our heart ache for those things that are precious to us all.

Just an observation. _____________________________________________

How To Tell You’re Drinking is Becoming Problematic It’s Friday afternoon, and you just finished a long workweek. You’ve worked hard! It’s time to put your feet up, turn on the TV, and…have a drink. Right?

Many of our Friday afternoons look like this. A drink or two on a Friday afternoon is relatively harmless, statistically speaking. But, what if your Friday afternoons turn into Thursday and Friday afternoons? Perhaps the stress at work is really getting to you this month, and now your twice a week routine becomes an every afternoon routine. Soon enough, your one or two drinks each afternoon becomes three or four drinks each afternoon. We have a problem!

Many citizens do not know that alcohol is the number one most misused substance in the State of Indiana and in the USA. Hendricks County, in particular, has a high rate of adults who self-report excessive drinking (>18%).

If you take into consideration those who are not comfortable self-reporting on health assessments, this rate is likely much higher.

How do you know your drinking is becoming a problem?

• The first question to ask yourself is, “why do I drink?”

Most adults drink for one of two rea-sons: to relieve stress or because it’s socially expected. Unfortunately, neither of these reasons are the healthiest. Using alcohol as a primary means to “wind down” from stressful feelings can lead you to problematic and addictive patterns. Using alcohol simply because you’re in a social setting where everyone else is drinking can also lead you to problems.

• The second question to ask yourself is, “how much do I drink per day?”. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), heavy alcohol use is defined as having 4 normal portioned drinks per day for men and 3 normal portioned drinks per day for women. How do you compare? Typically, the more you drink at each sitting, the more you become able to drink before inebriation – the result of a brain and body response called “tolerance”. If you are drinking at the higher end of these levels, you may have a problem.

• The third question to ask yourself is, “how many days per week do I drink?”. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration defines heavy drinking as bingeing (3-4+ drinks per sitting) five or more days per month. On average, most Americans consume 1.35 alcoholic beverages per day, which is about a beer and a half or a large glass of wine each day, for example. Heavy drinking is also defined by NIAAA as 14+ drinks per week for men and 7+ drinks per week for women. Again, how do you compare? Do you have a problem?

If you find yourself surprised by how relatable these numbers are, we want to encourage you that you are not alone! And, there is help available for you. The most research-supported way to re-duce/quit alcohol use and recover from addiction is through cognitive-behavioral therapy and counseling in both group and individual settings. In these sessions, you can learn new coping skills to manage your stress, and you can connect with others who know how you feel. There’s no shame in asking for help! ______________________________________________

Hendricks Humane Is Striving to Help Community Cat Colonies

Community cat colonies can grow exponentially in a very short period of time.

By Melissa Gibson Imagine seeing a cat wandering across your backyard, it doesn’t seem to have a home and you’ve caught it rummaging through garbage several days this week. You put some food and milk out for fear that it might be hungry.

The cat eats, and then comes back the next day for more, and the next day and the next…

Shockingly, one woman in Hendricks County began feeding three cats that visited her home on a regular basis and by the end of the summer – there were 39.

“We hear it frequently,” said Hendricks Humane Society Operations Manager Tricia Pierce. “It showed up, I started feeding it. She had a litter of kittens and then she disappeared for a while.”

Rest assured, Pierce said, she’s coming back with more kittens.

Cats can reproduce every four months and can even get pregnant while nursing their litter, making it not uncommon for colonies to increase quickly.

Through the Humane Society’s Community Cat Program, Pierce and a group of volunteers are working to trap adult cats, spay/neuter and vaccinate them before releasing them back to their home.

“In a typical year, we might see one colony of 30 or more cats, but this year, we’ve dealt with some extremely large colonies,” Pierce said. “We’ve had several this year with more than 50 cats and one up to 100 in the colony.

These cats did not choose to live in the community; someone didn’t spay or neuter them and then let them go. They are really good at multiplying.”

The phrase “community cats” was adopted by the Humane Society because “wild” or “feral” often causes people to treat them differently. The truth is, they need help and communities can help in managing or controlling the population.

“If the public is able to participate, we encourage that.

If you see a stray and start feeding it, contact us immediately,” Pierce said.

The population of community cats has become so dense, there’s not enough room for them all and it’s truly, a disheartening situation.

“It’s hard for me to see the suffering. When a cat has five or six kittens, statistically, only one will live to be six months old. That’s a lot of death and a lot of suffering,” Pierce said. “The reality is, they fall victim to health issues, predators, cars and even humans can be predators in some situations.”

Flu Shot Clinics at P-GTPL

The goal of the Community Cat Program is to end that suffering and create a better environment for these cats that have been abandoned by their owners. Simply spaying or neutering an adult cat can stop the birth of hundreds of unwanted and unprovided for kittens.

“We often see these large colonies in rural farming communities, where you think of barn cats and it’s a natural thing. However, those cats need to be fixed as well,” Pierce said. “We often see a friendly cat and assume it belongs to someone, but you can still get it checked to see if it’s been fixed. Our motto is ‘If you feed them, fix them’, ‘If you love them, fix them’. It’s easy to stop the needless suffering to these animals.”

Alerting the Humane Society of a colony, no matter how small, can also give the cats a chance at a better life. While an adult cat that’s been living outdoors for a long period of time can’t often be forced indoors, the kittens have a chance to be taken in by the Humane Society and fostered or adopted into loving homes.

The Hendricks Humane Soci “Statistically, for every nine residents in a commu- ety currently has cats available for adoption, housed at foster nity, there is one communi- homes in the county. ty cat,” Pierce said. “As our population increases, we expect to see the cats increase as well and we’re hoping to get ahead of that. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help.”

If you need assistance trapping a stray cat, or have a population of cats coming around you suspect don’t have a home, contact the Humane Society at 317-745-3338 or reach out to them at www.hendrickshumane.org.

Did You Know?

If you see a stray cat and choose to feed it, make a quick call to the Humane Society to ensure the cat has been fixed.

The Hendricks Humane Society’s goal is to keep pets in the home.

They are also aware of the struggles many families face (particularly during the pandemic) that may prompt the surrender of an animal or even neglect if the family can’t afford certain care. They are here to help families during difficult times and want the animals to be safe, healthy and secure as well.

• The Hendricks Humane Society is on track to provide more than 800 spays and neuters for our fourlegged friends in Hendricks County, free of charge this year. Inquire with them for a pet spay/neuter voucher to use at select vet clinics to protect your pet.

• The Hendricks Humane Society’s Pet Food Pantry provides food, litter, flea medication if available and more. Fill out an application to see if you qualify.

• They also offer a Pet Owners Assistance Program for pets that are sick and need veterinary care.

Women Behind CIK9 Facility Set Sights on National Display

Bahary and Brandon are working to establish the National Service Animal Monument. ______________________________________________________________________________

Bahary (left) and Brandon have been working together for nearly 10 years ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Theresa Brandon and Corporal Kyle Schaefer formed the Central Indiana K9 Association (CIK9) in 2019 and have been diligently working to bring a training facility for K9’s and their handlers to the county and surrounding areas.

They’ve also worked to provide financial aid to those retired K9’s who suffer from serious health complications due to their work, serving and protecting officers, through the Shadow Fund.

Earlier this month, a celebration and fundraiser was held at TOPGOLF in Fishers in honor of their

progress and SEBREE Architects firm has already designed the training facility plans in preparation.

Along with the facility, a working dog monument is planned with artist Susan Bahary.

Bahary and Brandon met nearly ten years ago on a project in Cedar Hill, Texas, in which Bahary created “Enduring Valor,” a piece to accompany a pet cemetery Brandon led the community in saving and the two have been working together ever since.

Bahary was commissioned in 1994 to design the country’s first war dog memorial. “Always Faithful,” unveiled at the Penta-

Free Online Tutoring for SAT, Math & AP Courses

The Indiana Department of Education announced a new partnership with Schoolhouse.world to support students in grades eight through 12 with free tutoring for SAT preparation, math courses and Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

Schoolhouse.world was launched in early 2020 by Sal Khan, also founder of Khan Academy, in response to COVID-19 learning disruptions. The nonprofit connects students with live, small-group tutoring through Zoom at no cost. Tutoring currently focuses on SAT reading, writing and math, with a math focus on pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus and statistics. Support is also available for AP courses including AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Physics and AP Computer Science.

In addition to resources through Schoolhouse.world, Khan Academy and College Board offer free SAT practice resources. This free resource comes as all Indiana high school juniors prepare to take the SAT this spring. Students can visit Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy – a personalized online program that helps students practice for the SAT with thousands of sample questions, instant feedback, video lessons and full-length practice tests. Nationwide, more than 10 million students have signed up for free SAT practice through Khan Academy.

gon, and was permanently installed at the U.S. Marine Corps War Dog Cemetery in Guam. Other castings have been placed across the country.

She’s sculpted monuments for some of the country’s most heroic dogs, including Sgt. Stubby (famous World War I dog) in Connecticut’s Veterans Memorial Park and Sully, President George H.W. Bush’s service dog on display at his Presidential Library.

Last year, Bahary was commissioned by the United States War Dog Association to sculpt the first Military Women’s Memorial, and unveiled “The Pledge” at the gateway of Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. As a veteran herself, Brandon was once again, struck by the detail and bond captured on Bahary’s work, featuring a veteran female handler and her service K9, locking eyes in appreciation, trust, and loyalty.

“It’s so important because women really deserve the recognition. This was unveiled last Oct., during the 100th anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement and shortly after Justice Ginsburg passed

away,” Bahary said. “I was proud to incorporate a dog in the piece because we could not have won wars without our animals or done as well without them and they really haven’t been recognized at our nations capital.”

That is all about to change as Brandon and Bahary team up once again for a project designed to educate, inspire, heal and recognize all working service animals and those that have succeeded in military, law enforcement and personal challenges because of them.

The National Service Animals Monument (NSAM) will be in a parklike setting, featuring clusters of different animal species, created by Bahary.

There will be an accompanying app that tells the story of each group for guests to learn more about how service animals have assisted humans throughout history.

“Everyone knows how dogs and horses have been service animals over the years, but did you know that dolphins and sea lions are also service animals?

They work with the Navy and help patrol waters. If a diver drops something, dolphins are able to retrieve it,” Brandon said.

Brandon joined the NSAM Board in May of this year and was voted in as President this past September. She plans to step down from chair of CIK9, with Schafer taking the lead and will continue to consult and advise on the board locally.

The NSAM organization has hired three contractors, experts in fundraising and more to prepare for the process and the group has discussed the goal with more than 70 congressmen and women interested in seeing

Bahary’s work, “The Pledge” can be seen at the gates of Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. ____________________________________________________

the project come to fruition.

“We’ve had a lot of support,” said Bahary. “This park will represent all people and all service animals.

It’s not a political thing. It’s to bring people together, a resource to educate and help others.”

Brandon and Bahary hope to secure a location in Washington D.C. for the project and estimate three to five years to see it completed.

“These animals risk their lives and often lose their lives in service to others

and they’ve saved countless lives on the battlefield, on law enforcement duty and even through assisting people with disability,” Bahary said. “Something like this will be there for generations and I hope it’s a reminder of the love and care that exist between these teams.”

This allows us to spend more on our programs and be more flexible to those needing services. Contact us via e-mail info@hendrickshumane.org or call 317-745-3338 to leave a message.

PET FOOD PANTRY - Hendricks County residents needing pet food should call the Humane Society (317745-3338) to leave a message clearly stating their name, phone #, type and number of pets and any special needs.

Volunteer for SHIP

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. ______________________________________________

DCMS 8th Grade Team Takes 3rd Straight Sagamore Title

The Danville Community Middle School 8th grade football team wrapped up their 2021 season with a convincing win at Western Boone to remain undefeated while earning another Sagamore Conference Champion title. The first season this Class of 2026 started playing together as one single team was their 6th grade season and from that point they have remained unbeaten while collecting three straight Sagamore Conference Championships. Congratulations on what they have accomplished and good luck in high school, Friday night lights could look really bright for this group!

Warriors Score Sagamore Conference

Photo credit Michelle Smith Danville on defense during Sagmore Conference championship game. _______________________________________________________________________________

Headed into the final week of the regular season, Danville already had its eyes set on Greencastle, who visits Warrior Stadium on October 22 for the first round of Sectional, and for what they hope is the start of a second straight 21-mile trip to Lucas Oil Stadium.

A trip to North Montgomery seemed to be a good final warm up prior to entering the post season. There was one element of the game, however, for which it is nearly impossible to game-plan. Several days of rain left the confines of the North Montgomery Char-

gers football field a soggy and muddy mess. We will call this Mud Bowl 2021.

I received a text from someone well into the second quarter who had just checked the score for the first time. At that particular moment, the game was still knotted up at 0-0. The text read, “What’s wrong with Danville?” The tone was genuine concern about the team, and perhaps the all-star quarterback being injured. Not to worry, I told them, it is tough to get offense going when the field is better suited for a Tough Mudder contest than a high

school football game. Nevertheless, it was indeed a football game, and not just any game, but one that would allow the Danville Warriors to claim a second straight Sagamore Championship if they came out as victors.

As one might expect with the conditions on the ground, finding positive yardage and getting the offense in a position was not something that would happen early, or often.

Eventually, the Danville offense would muster enough offensive success to put kicker Caleb Harvey in a

position to kick a 26-yard field goal to give Danville a 3-0 lead. This would be the half-time score as there were a combined 6 punts or turnover’s on failed fourth down conversions in the half.

The third quarter would be a yawner as nether team could find the groove and the Chargers would punt twice while Danville turned the ball over on another failed fourth down conversion.

The Warriors would eventually find a way to march the team down the field when Kale Payne connected with Tyler Dostin for 15 yards and a score that would briefly ignite the Danville fan base and all but put this game away. Caleb Harvey added the extra point and Danville led 10-0.

Sometimes in football, how you get to a win is not nearly as important as getting the win. Danville did what they needed to do, finished 8-1 on the season and were able to seal the outright Sagamore Conference Championship for 2021.

Congratulations Warriors on a great regular season and good luck in the post season!

Faith & Belief Christmas Bazaar At MPQ

Local Couple Honored With IUMCH Agape Award

Annual Chicken & Noodle Dinner Dedicated to the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Dept. In humble gratitude for their service.

Saturday, November 6th 11 AM - 4 PM

Dinner Includes: Chicken & Noodles and 2 Sides Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, or Broccoli Salad Home Made Desserts $3 Adults $9 Noodles Only $4 Children & Seniors $5 Extra Sides $2 DARYL & LOIS HOFFMAN

Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home (IUMCH) honored Hendricks County residents Daryl and Lois Hoffman with its Agape Award on 2021 Indiana Children’s Champion Day during a virtual celebration via Facebook Live on Saturday, Oct. 16.

The Hoffmans are among five honorees to be recognized for helping the Children’s Home live up to its values of love, family and education.

The Agape Award honors the Hoffman’s dedication to sharing love, compassion, healing and giving hope to the youth at the Children’s Home. Over the years, the Hoffmans have been involved in many activities at the Children’s Home, including leading a pottery class at the James E. Davis School. Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman are retired civil engineer and retired schoolteacher, respectively. The couple has a strong passion for supporting education and established the Hoffman Family Scholarship Fund for students at the James E. Davis School.

The event also featured a dedication of the Children’s Home’s new Independent Living Learning Lab, a modern space that prepares older youth with life and independence skills.

According to IUMCH, the Indiana Children’s Champion Awards are a tribute to the hard work, support and belief as Hoosiers that children represent the future of a great state and deserve a quality life where they are safe and cared for, in a place where families are reunited and where every child is treated with love and respect.

Founded 106 years ago as an orphanage, the Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home has served 5,500 youth who suffer from trauma, including victims of child abuse and neglect.

“While the Children’s Home began as a home for orphans, it has changed remarkably because the needs and challenges facing today’s youth have changed,” said Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home Executive Director Rich Lapinski. “Community leaders, organizations and volunteers are an integral part of our mission to provide the opportunity for youth to become healthy and self-sufficient adults. We are grateful for all children’s champions, especially the individuals and groups we will honor on Indiana Children’s Champions Day.”

(M o r e O b i t u a r i e s LEORA MAY “ODIE” GREEN, 82 of Bainbridge, passed away on October 10, 2021 at Hendricks Regional Hospital.

She was born and raised on westside Indianapolis, Ind. on September 16, 1939 to the late Edgar Errol Symmonds and Maude Irene Hough Symmonds.

RICHARD KEVIN “RICK” MYERS, 59, co-owner of Grow Local Media, died peacefully October 14, following a long illness, at his Avon home surrounded by his family.

He was the publisher of the Hendricks County ICON, the Hendricks County Business Leader, the Center Grove ICON and The Southside Times.

Rick was a visionary with an unbridled passion for newspapers. His heart was his wife, Catherine, and family.

Born October 22, 1961, in Indianapolis to the late Robert and Mary Ellen Myers, Rick grew up just outside of Haughville in Wayne Township, Marion County. Fascinated with newspapers, Rick admitted when the family went on vacation, the first thing he would do in a new town is ask his dad for money to go buy a local newspaper.

“I learned early on that the newspaper was a mirror of the community,” Myers said in a podcast recorded in April. Years later, staff remember Rick bringing back stacks of newspapers from his trips for them to review.

One of his earliest jobs was as a newspaper carrier for the Indianapolis News and Indianapolis Star. He worked his way up to “station captain” where he ensured all shopping circulars and coupons were in every Sunday paper.

As a senior at Crispus Attucks High School, Rick was invited to work in the mailroom of the Indianapolis Star and News. Then he was offered a position as a copy boy, then sports clerk. He would take scores by phone on Friday nights and always said it was one of his favorite jobs.

Rick went on to graduate from Vincennes University and received a Bachelor of Science in journalism with an emphasis in photography from Ball State University. Later, he earned a Master’s degree in youth development from Kansas State University.

He was hired to be a sportswriter at a new newspaper called The Greenwood Gazette where he met his longtime friend and business partner, Brian Kelly.

“No one had a greater passion for our industry than Rick, and that’s why he was so successful,” Kelly said. “Nothing made him happier than serving the community, his customers and his readers. Above all else, he fiercely loved his family and was so proud of them.”

Rick also served as press secretary for the City of Carmel, working in the administration of the late Mayor Ted Johnson, and he also served Westfield Washington Schools, launching a media relations and communications effort.

After the Greenwood publication was sold to Thomson Newspapers, Rick eventually was transferred to the Hendricks County Flyer. In 2005, along with Kelly, Rick started the Hendricks County Business Leader under the corporate publishing group Times-Leader Publications. The company also purchased The Southside Times, a publication which served southern Marion County and, under Rick, expanded to northern Johnson County.

Since then, Rick has created general news publications, the Hendricks County ICON and the Center Grove ICON in an era when many newspapers were shutting their doors.

Rick has also served his communities in various ways beyond publishing the news. He was a leader in the Kiwanis Club of Avon, Rotary Club of Greenwood and Knights of Columbus St. Malachy Council 12540. He was named Range Line Pioneer (Carmel) in 1995 and was the recipient of the Avon Chamber of Commerce’s Outstanding Professional Award in 2009. Leadership Hendricks County recently honored Rick with the Suzanne Whicker Distinguished Service Award.

In 2020, Rick was named in Editor & Publisher magazine’s inaugural “15 Over 50: Honoring the Leaders Driving the News Industry Forward,” which chose 15 U.S. publishers over the age of 50 who demonstrate a passion and optimism for the news industry.

He served as president of the board of directors for Aspire (formerly the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Greenwood) as well as the Hendricks College Network. Rick loved serving his community and had more energy than most. He loved metal music, which he always thought came as a surprise to people.

He was an avid fan of open-wheel racing, going to as many races as he could, especially the Indianapolis 500. He also loved Kansas State athletics and the Chicago White Sox. His survivors include his wife of 25 years, Catherine; daughters Catie and Mary; son Rory; grandson Liam; and a brother Michael Boyd.

Mass for Rick Myers will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday,October 20 at St. Malachy Catholic Church. Brownsburg. Visitation will be 4-7 p.m. Tuesday, Octobeer 19 at Matthews Mortuary, Brownsburg.

Ed was born in Indianapolis, Ind. to the late Emil H. and Edna (Summers) Kottkamp.

He graduated from Arsenal Technical High School. Ed enrolled at Purdue University following graduation. Prior to graduating from Purdue with a BS degree in agriculture, he served his country in the U.S.Army during the Korean War. Ed married Marcia (Davis) Dec. 22, 1957.

To honor the extraordinary life of Edwin Kottkamp we must take a step back in the past in order to share the present and future. The Kottkamp family owned a farm in Eminence, Ind. It was here that Ed learned to enjoy farming and Hereford cattle while working with the Frank Gash family through their travels attending county and state fairs. In 1953, Ed and his father purchased 280 wooded acres in Belleville, which they cleared, established house barns, and created a pond. In 1958, Ed purchased his first Hereford cattle. All through the 1960’s and 1970’s, his herds continued to grow, selling quality livestock throughout Indiana and the United States. In 2003, Ed sold his last “cow herd” to a farm in Essex, N.Y. However, his legacy lives on through his family with their 4-H endeavor and future Kottkamp Hereford Cattle.

The accolades that we could bestow upon Ed begin with his love of God and country. His active service in the Hazelwood Christian Church speaks for itself. His family, being so very important to him. His service to his community, 4-H, and cattle associations speak volumes. A member of the Hendricks County Fair Board, a founding member of the Hendricks County Cattleman’s Association,, serving as the President and Secretary/ Treasurer, along with his wife, Marcia of the Indiana Hereford Association, being active in the National Hereford Association for 65 years, and still found time to be involved with Guideons International, Danville Camp, and, ... his dedication to the generations of school children that he provided safe transportation to and from the Mill Creek Schools as a bus driver for 42 years.

Survivors include his loving wife of 64 years, Marcia, children, Dale (Lesli) Kottkamp, Karen (Brian) Cheesman, all of Clayton, grandchildren, Chandis and Dylan Kottkamp, Emilee (Andrew) Foster, Bradi Cheesman, great grandchildren, Everly and Emerson Foster.

NOTICE TO NAMED FATHER

IN RE THE ADOPTION OF: K.M.S. MINOR CHILD

Brandon Marquis Shirley who has been named the father of the child born to Kiara Fuller on July 6, 2008, or who claims to be the father of the child born to Kiara Fuller on July 6, 2008, is notified that a petition for adoption of the child was filed in the office of the clerk of Hamilton County Superior Court, 1 Hamilton County Square, Noblesville, IN 46060.

If Brandon Marquis Shirley seeks to contest the adoption of the child, he must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court not later than thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice.

If Brandon Marquis Shirley does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice, the above named court will hear and determine the petition for adoption. His consent will be irrevocably implied and he will lose his right to contest either the adoption or the validity of his implied consent to the adoption. He will lose his right to establish his paternity of the child, by affidavit or otherwise, in Indiana or any other jurisdiction.

Nothing Kiara Fuller or anyone else says to Brandon Marquis Shirley relieves Brandon Marquis Shirley of his obligations under this notice.

Under Indiana law, a putative father is a person who is named as or claims that he may be the father of a child born out of wedlock but who has not yet been legally proven to be the child’s father. For purposes of this notice, Brandon Marquis Shirley is a putative father under the laws in Indiana regarding adoption.

This notice complies with IC 31-19-4-5 but does not exhaustively set forth a putative father’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes.
