Community Support

There’s a new player in a new position on the field for the Town of Plainfield.

Orlando Jordan has been hired as the Town’s Community Support Manager. As a part of a Comprehensive Mental Health Awareness and Benefit Program initiative, the Town of Plainfield created the Wellbeing and Community Support Manager in 2021 ORLANDO JORDAN to support its growing staff.

Town Manager Andrew Klinger explains the new position as a means to fill a gap in support for Town employees. “The gap is typically due to access, and we want to be sure our staff has support readily accessible especially during critical events. The need for an additional staff member became even more apparent in the last 18 months, most notably in our public safety departments.”

The job entails overseeing and participating in Employee Assistance Programming (EAP) and assessments, employee counseling and evaluations, and coordinating the Chaplain staff and volunteers. The Wellbeing and Community Support Manager is the primary on-call therapist to respond to employees and the community during emergencies and major events.

A State licensed counselor, Jordan was previously a Staff Chaplain for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. He is the Senior Pastor of Resurrection Community Church located in the Avondale Meadows community of Indianapolis.

He is a graduate of the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville as a double major in Biology and Psychology. Orlando earned his Masters of Divinity from Oakland City University School of Ministry with a focus Urban Evangelism and Pastoral Counseling. In 2016, Orlando completed his studies at Indiana Wesleyan graduating with a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

“I am very excited to join such an innovative and growing community,” Jordan. “I look forward to assisting the Town of Plainfield in becoming an even better place to live, work and play.” ______________________________________________

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: From its earliest days, The Republican sought to elevate the denizens of Danville and county society, from laborer, farmer, stockman, lawyer, doctor, craftsman, shopkeeper and merchant, often in league with ministers, some distant and famous, some dead wrong.

A Baptist missionary, the Reverend William Washington Colley, returned from labors in Liberia, declared in 1881 that the Sahara was not a vast desert wasteland.

Colley claimed the Sahara was “fertile and densely populated.” He put forth such a demonstrably false statement because, “The wily Arabs started the lie, he explained, in order to keep out competition in the ivory traffic.”

The paper apparently bought the story, declaring once again the “myths and illusions of our childhood are exploded.”

Fact-checkers were scarcer then, leaving me to wonder how long this and other planted whoppers were promptly bought, repeated and persistently resown, becoming entrenched into sundry minds’ reality.

Religious leaders held great sway in those times and Colley wasn’t alone. After all, preachers condemned roller skating as corruptive of morals.

Syndicated pulpit orator and anti-vice crusader Thomas DeWitt Talmage believed he knew in 1886 who to blame for much of society’s ills.

“Who are these people in society, light as froth, blown every whither of temptation and fashion – the peddlers of filthy stories, the dancing-jacks of political parties, the scum of society, the tavern-lounging, the store-infesting, the man of low wink and filthy chuckle, and brass breastpins, and rotten associations?”

Mostly, they came “from mothers idle and disgusting – the scandal-mongers of society . . . attending to everybody’s business but their own, believing in witches and ghosts, and horseshoes to keep the devil out of the church . . .”

Would the reverend today dare to claim mothers were responsible for the foul crop of finger-to-the-wind politicians and weasel commentators currently plaguing us?

Dear Editor, did you know three successive tabernacles where he preached all burned?

A hornswoggled community demands fealty to swallowed disinformation and false propaganda. Stray from that and you are cast aside with the curse of twisted displeasure.

“Society never forgives you if you disappoint it in its estimate of you.”

It is true in an advanced age of education, technology, wealth and comfort by every standard of the past.

The newspaper back then strove to be a moral compass.

It had no tolerance for liars in 1884. “A man who will willfully and maliciously concoct and put into circulation a slanderous lie against the character of another is so low down in the scale of human decency and moral depravity that there is no possible hope of giving him his just deserts in this life.”

People like that were “a menace to society, an obstruction in morals and a putrefying stench in the nostrils of honest men and women.”

That judgment teeters on the brink of bellowing for violence.

“Society regulates collectively the morals of its members,” the paper shared in 1885.

That was long before truth knelt before deceit.

Danville and county business society was ailing in 1885. Townsfolk complained “at the dullness of the times and the general stagnation of business.”

Moralistic, The Republican faulted “an outgrowth of a bad and unwholesome policy” by businessmen, town officers and citizens. Instead of “friendly rivalry . . . a jealous and spiteful opposition” reigned.

The situation was not only “hurtful to society, but is destructive to prosperity and success.”

The paper urged Danville’s merchants to “join hands and work heartily and honestly for the interest of all.”

When a new editor assumed the reins in 1886, his predecessors declared him “a defender and promoter of good morals and social purity . . .

“A paper in its news-bearing capacity is but the reflex of the community in which it lives.” It mirrored the community.

Deviating from animal society’s norms also has consequences. In 1886, a prominent family packed up from its Park Avenue home to spend time at their Burlington, Vermont, farm. They took their 10 servants, horses and carriages, two shaved poodles and two donkeys.

All was well until the family shaved the donkeys to resemble the “ultra fashionable” poodles. The deed so enraged the dogs they killed the donkeys. “Who could bear to see their garments copied by a donkey?”

The dogs were dispatched “to the happy land of canine.”

Publisher’s Point of View Our Staff

As you know, a couple of weeks ago we had technical difficulties that caused the newspaper to be a couple of days late. No need to trouble you with the details but watching how the staff responded to our “crisis” was inspirational.

So, if you’ll excuse me for a second, I’d like to say a little something to the staff. The rest of you can skip down and continue reading at the 5th paragraph.

“Dear staff, Watching you work through the night to try and get the paper out on time and watching you all pull together in rearranging, reassigning, calling, emailing, driving, etc., it made me proud. It hit me that day how fortunate I am. Our readers don’t see what it takes to put this together every week, but I do. Then the next day you sneaked in a party and surprised me for Boss’ Day. You are the best. I don’t deserve you guys.

“But our readers do deserve you. That’s what makes this place special to me. We all know what’s important and we do what we have to do. Thank you for that. Now get back to work.”

(Readers can continue reading here) Delays are a rare occurrence in the history of this newspaper. Betty said it happened once during the blizzard of 1978.

For 122 years the staff, working right here at 6 E. Main Street, has striven through world wars, pandemics, economic collapses, personal tragedies and death to put this newspaper in your mailbox every Thursday. Generation after generation of employees and owners have worked every week to keep you informed and tell you stories, to share stories from our history, to let you know when a treasure from our community has passed, to let you know what’s going on. Every week. You can count on us to be there. ______________________________________________________________________

Letter to the Editor: This is in response to Mr. Shotwell’s letter published in last week’s The Republican.

I am proud my country strives to help those who through no fault of their own cannot help themselves or are otherwise truly in need. The Biden administration’s “Rescue Plan” handouts to which Mr. Shotwell refers go far beyond those parameters. I personally know recipients of those handouts who live on the coast and are members of the country club, who have a second home in Florida complete with car and ocean capable boat, who live on country club grounds on the golf course and who have a net worth with six or more zeros. None of them are needy or helpless. Additionally, examples of fraudulent receipt and/or inappropriate use of these funds abound. Indiscriminate handouts of taxpayer resources to undeserving parties is blatantly irresponsible.

Mr. Shotwell fails to address from where that money comes. “If you receive something for which you do not work, someone else must work for something they do not receive” (author unknown). Payment for handouts of this nature come from either: (1) taking money from current taxpayers; perhaps your neighbor, your friend or your relative or (2) leaving debt for future generations; perhaps your children and grandchildren.

The Biden Administration is now telling us its proposed $2 to $3 trillion spending plan(s) costs nothing. President Biden himself recently said “it cost zero, it’s actually a tax cut”. That shows how dishonest and deceitful this administration is willing to be and how stupid they believe we, the voters, are.

All citizens and voters who care about this country and its future should keep this in mind on Nov. 8 of next year and especially on Nov. 5, 2024.

Regards, Dave Potter ______________________________________________ Letter to the Editor Gasoline, propane, and diesel prices are brutally high right now. This is especially hard for farm operations as harvesting and grain drying gets underway for the 2021 harvest.

Help for corn and soy bean farmers may be coming from an unlikely partner, Delta Airlines. Delta has formed a partnership with Aemetis, Inc. (California) to convert 10% of its jet fuel consumption to sustainable jet fuel (SJF) by 2030. Domestic energy production lowers transportation costs and protects us from volatile energy spikes.

Indiana has an great opportunity to invest in renewable energy projects. We have the knowledge. Purdue University has extensively researched biofuel and ethanol production technology. Sustainable energy that reduces carbon emissions keeps our air cleaner and reduces ground water pollution.

Our Indiana legislature has been propping up the coal industry with laws that keep coal plants from closing. As a result, our air, water, and soil is being damaged by high carbon emitting fuels. Indiana residents continue to live in one of the most polluted states in the nation.

We should be investing in technology that produces clean, inexpensive energy. Biofuels is a great start, and Hendricks County farmers can help provide the biomass we need for our future energy needs.

Let’s start investing for the future.

Love Your Library? Show Us a Sign! Look Out! Thar She Drops!

The Friends of the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library are excited to share a new fundraiser to help support the library: We Love Our Library yard signs.

The Friends are a notfor-profit organization with a mission to support and supplement library programs, with consideration to meeting the needs of the whole community.

Some past fundraising efforts include silent auctions, book sales, the Plainfield Garden Tour, and the Arts Gala. We Love the Li-

brary signs add a new twist to their fundraising efforts.

“What better way to show your love and support of the library than your very own We Love Our Library sign?” says Joanna Sproull, Community Liaison at the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library.

The idea to sell library signs came last spring during National Library Week when PGTPL placed We Love the Library signs around town.

sign,” says Sproull. The only issue was that there were only 20 signs ordered for National Library Week, and that is when the Friends came into the picture.

“We decided selling the signs would be a great idea for a new fundraiser to help support the library,” says Jasraj Sandhu, President of the Friends of the Library.

“We have sold several already and it’s really fun to be driving down a road and see a We Love the Library sign. It always makes me smile!”

The fundraiser had some help getting off the ground from their local partner, Chicago’s Pizza.

“We are so thankful for Chicago’s Pizza and their generous support in obtaining the signs for this wonderful fundraiser.” says Sproull. “With their help, all of the proceeds from the sign sales are able to go directly towards supporting the library.”

We Love Our Library signs have been popping up all over Plainfield. The Signs are $15 apiece and are great gifts for family and friends to display in their yards year-round.

To purchase a sign visit the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library at 1120 Stafford Road, Plainfield, IN 46168, or call 317-839-6602 for more information.

North Salem Local & Social What a dark, rainy and windy Monday morning.

Sure thought of boys and girls having to getup and out for school. Of course, I think of Ron Kneeland out checking the route and the school bus drivers and teachers, etc. It was so dark and dreary. Know they have to get out anyway.

So much rain and wind bringing leaves down, making grass and weeks grwo and making it too wet for farmers to finalize their harvest. Better days ahead. ______ Fall/Winter Farmers Market The next Eel River Township Fall/Winter Farmers Market will be Tuesday, November 9th from 5-7 PM in the Community Building, 6 5. Main St., North Salem. Come grab a scrumptious dinner from Baire’s Burgers (inside dining area provided) then browse a wonderful selection of vendors! All 13 vendors from October will be there, PLUS 5 new vendors including Hankins Beef, Masterson Massage Therapy, The Methodist Church Ladies Cheeseballs, a new craft vendor, and a maple syrup vendor. Whether shopping for yourself or getting a start on Christmas shopping, there’s a little bit of everything and something for everyone!

The first market in October was a huge success, you won’t want to miss the second, so mark your calendars now! I’ll be spotlighting vendors on Facebook during the week leading up to the market, so request to join the “North Salem, Indiana chatter” page for information on products that will be available. _____ Hayden Hauk, of Shelbyville, great-grandson of Glenn and Phyllis Pearcy was honored with a great Birthday Party for his 16th, held at the White River Paint Ball Club in Anderson.

Exploring Hendricks County

Our Readers Write

By Jackie Horn

Halloween is almost here. The kids working on costumes. Pumpkins carved into Jack-O-Lanterns. Front yards transformed into scenes of Frankenstein’s laboratory and creepy cemeteries.

I don’t find cemeteries especially creepy or scary. In fact, I like strolling in graveyards among the tombstones. It’s usually quiet with little traffic. Cars cruise the well-maintained, paved-yet-pothole-free cemetery roads slowly so it’s safe to mosey down the middle of the lane. I admire the grave wreaths and decorations. I enjoy discovering unique, old-fashioned names like Melvina, Bertha, Ebeneezer, Oswald. The causes of death intrigue me: cholera outbreak, a war…. Why were there so many deaths in 1866? I ache for the family that has six names of children under 6 years old on one stone. What I really enjoy is the artwork on tombstones and memorials.

Memorial artwork is full of symbolism. After crosses (which represent the deceased was of a Christian faith), one of the most popular decorations is an urn. Urns, because they hold the ashes of the departed loved one, are a symbol of mourning, It was also popular to have a drape or cloth over the urn. A drape indicates sorrow.

Angels are another subject of grave art. Angels with trumpets mean the Judgment Day or call to resurrection. Flying represents rebirth. A weeping angel means an untimely death. On a child’s stone, an angel carrying a child is a guardian angel embracing the little one and escorting them back to Heaven.

Hands are used on many stones as embellishments.

Hands can be praying,

JUST AN OBSERVATION Where is That?

By Janet Beam I am not originally from Hendricks County; we have only lived in Danville for about six months. We have spent all of our lives so far in Boone County. Having said that, I am always amazed at the little towns mentioned in the Yester Year column of the Republican, so I got busy doing some research. We all know the current towns in Hendricks County; Danville, Avon, Coatesville, North Salem, Stilesville, Plainfield, Pittsboro, Brownsburg, Lizton, Amo, Cartersburg, Clayton, Hazelwood (formerly known as Buzzards Roost), New Winchester, a portion of Jamestown, a portion of Camby, and Belleville. I even know where Maplewood and Montclair (originally named Singer Station) are, but some of the others, I have no clue.

I found it fascinating to learn of the following communities that called Hendricks County home: Hardscrabble in Washington Township; Center Valley in Liberty Township; Friendswood in Guilford Township; Gale in Center Township; Hadley (first named Mimosa) in Clay Township; Joppa in Guilford Township; Needmore in Marion Township; Pecksburg in Clay Township; Quebec in Middle Township; Springtown (formerly named Springfield); Raintown; Reno in Clay Township; Six Points in Washington Township; Summit; Union; and Tilden (on the Middle-Lincoln Township line) was formerly named Oakley.

There may well be others but I could not find any mention of them anywhere. They may reside in someone’s memory; if so, please let us know.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to spend a day or two actually getting to visit these small towns in their heyday? Since ordinary citizens can now travel into space, I am waiting for someone to invent a time machine where we can visit the past. I will be the first in line to buy a ticket!

Just an observation. ______________________________________________ only to say the Remember not ht place, but rig the in right thing ll, to leave unfar more difficult sti at the temptng said the wrong thi ing moment.

For the Love of Golf

reaching, or pointing. A single hand is the hand of God reaching down to assist the deceased into Heaven. Two hands clasped together symbolize marriage. The spouse who passed away first is guiding the departed into Heaven.

There are all sorts of meanings to plants on memorials. The Tree of Life, palms, lilies and calla lilies, ivy, and ferns are just a few. Roses are especially interesting.

The rose itself represents love, beauty, hope, and unfailing love. Depending on the stage of bloom, it denotes the age of the deceased. A bud is a child under the age of twelve.

If the flower is partially bloomed, the person was a teenager. A rose in full bloom means the person was in the prime of their life, twenty to thirty years old. Rosebuds joined together indicates a strong bond between the people who died at the same time, such as a mother and a child.

Perhaps my favorite memorial is the tree stump. It represents a life cut short. The shorter the stump, the shorter the life. Some of the sculptures I’ve see were very realistic with vines wrapped and climbing around the tree and initials carved in the “bark.” At the base laid an open book, the Book of Life, with pertinent information about the person. It was a touching monument to a young wife and mother who was 23 years old at her passing.

Old gravestones were made from softer materials such as wood, sandstone, and slate which erode over time and become difficult to read. One way to make the inscriptions more legible is to make a rubbing by placing a piece of paper over the engraving and pulling the long side of a crayon or chalk across it. The color covers the paper and the embedded images are decipherable.

More modern tombstones and memorials are made from granite which weathers much better. No longer does it require a chisel and hammer to engrave inscriptions and images on a stone. With today’s technology, photographs can be laser-cut into memorial stones with amazing detail. A person who enjoyed gardening can have a photo of themselves standing in their garden etched into their stone.

Far from scary, cemeteries are interesting historical places free for exploring. Two websites with comprehensive lists of Hendricks County cemeteries are: findagrave. com/cemetery-browse/USA/Indiana/Hendricks-County?id=county_823 and americancemeteries.org/indiana/ hendricks-county.

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy ““You know,” Archy said. “I’ve come to enjoy our little talks. I have to admit, with some squirrels, starting a conversation is like a pull cord on a lawnmower,” he continued. “You never know how much effort it will take to get it started.”

I’ve had the same experience with people. “Sometimes there’s no fuel in the tank,” I said.

“Precisely!” Archy exclaimed. “Knowledge, experience and empathy are required to have a real conversation.

Even small talk needs a modicum of skill. You need some preparation to be able to exchange pleasantries.”

I ventured shyness might be a hindrance for squirrel or human. “Perhaps they’re afraid they won’t have anything interesting to say.”

“That doesn’t seen to stop some people,” Archy said.

“Conversations are a way to connect with others. To find out differences and commonalities. It doesn’t have to be oratory, it can just be chit-chat. All conversations should promote civility, even an exchange of opposite views.

Common ground seems to have become a vary rare real estate commodity.”

“How do we get people to rant less and converse more?” I wondered.

“Change isn’t easy or fast,” the squirrel said. “Set an example and hope others follow.”

“You know, Archy,” I said, “I’ve come to enjoy our little talks, too.”

“Be the change,” the squirrel said with a grin. _____________________________________________

My husband and I recently took a ten year anniversary trip down to a resort in Mississippi to relax and play golf. Anyone who plays golf will surely understand why I’ve categorized “relaxing” and “playing golf” separately. It is typically not relaxing to play golf. On the contrary, it can be pretty frustrating; some may even say infuriating. However, I do believe that playing creates great opportunities for bonding with others, practicing dealing with stress, and learning to be present in the moment.

I didn’t learn to play golf until I was in my mid-20’s, but my husband has been playing since he was a kid. He introduced me to the game. I had played pretty much every other sport growing up, so I thought it would be fairly easy. The pros make it look that way. The first time I teed off I hit the ball perfectly straight…the way that my feet were facing. It bounced off the tee marker and dribbled about 20 feet in front of me. If you can believe it, my game went downhill from there.

The patience that my husband has displayed in teaching me is incredible. In the hundreds (maybe even thousands) of terrible and missed shots I’ve taken, I don’t think he has ever gotten frustrated with me. I think he realizes that it is a difficult game and that I am trying my best. We are there to cheer each other up if one of us is playing poorly, and sometimes it seems like we are constantly reminding each other that even though the ball is not going where we want it to, it is a beautiful day or we are getting a rare break from our young children, so we should take a deep breath and enjoy it. Often we grab a beer to help as well.

I’ve noticed a lot of parallels between the game of golf and the game of life: you have to keep going even when you’re feeling down, your energy is better spent focusing on the good (and there usually is at least ONE good shot per round) than the bad, you have to concentrate, slow down, and be present to have any chance of hitting that good shot, and you find yourself encouraging anyone who might be struggling.

Even though it has caused me quite a bit of heartache, I will forever be grateful to my husband for introducing me to the game. Happy Anniversary, Greg. ‘Till death do us golf!

The Rope

One of my greatest accomplishments while in the United States Air Force was becoming a Rope. It happened while I was going to Tech School at Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi Mississippi. Out of several hundred guys, you were asked to become a Rope. It was a position of honor and required leadership qualities. You were chosen based on attitude, appearance, and grades.

There were four types of Ropes, Green, Red, Yellow, and White. A Green Rope was in training and was assigned to a Red Rope. A Red Rope was in charge of a squad, approximately 40 guys. A Yellow Rope was in charge of a flight which consisted of two squads. A White Rope was in charge of a whole Shift, there being three shifts. A shift went to school in the mornings, B shift in the afternoons and C shift went to school in the evenings (which I was on).

I was promoted to Yellow Rope and I had no desire to become a white Rope. I had to work hard to keep my grades up. As a yellow Rope I was also responsible for the cleaning and maintaining of the barracks we lived in.

I had to create duty roosters and assign the work. This I delegated to the Red Ropes on Saturdays and then I would go to the beach with my army blanket. LOL. The other task I was responsible for was marching the troops to and from class every night. There would be six rows of men and each row had about 20 men in it. I would call out cadence and try to keep everyone in step. I would march about two thirds of the way back from the front on the left side.

One night I called for a right turn (Column Right, HUH) The front row began the turn but I couldn’t see the parked cars very clearly and marched the flight right into the back of them. The whole formation fell apart, laughing their heads off of course. I finally got everyone back into formation, shouting (Fall In) and then shouting (Forward March). For a young guy of 19 this was a lot of responsibility, but I survived my first leadership role.

Apple Cider Time!

Sitting on the porch swing sipping apple cider, delighting in the warmth of the last few days in the autumn. Just picture that!

Apple cider (called sweet cider or soft cider or simply cider) is from unfiltered, unsweetened apples.

Cider is typically made from a mixture of several different apples to give it a special taste.

Apple cider is made by washing apples, chopping them up, and then pressing the juice out. The raw cider will be opaque due to fine apple particles. The flavor is so tangy.

Makes my mouth water thinking about it!

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 have been languishing in the computer’s memory and we thought a new audience might enjoy some canine commentary.]

A few days ago, I had one the saddest things ever happen to me in my own yard. I was looking through a crack in our fence when a strange dog came trotting down the street. He was medium sized, like me, and had long brown fur. He was just a mutt, no certain breed, and as he trotted along, he kept looking around.

As he passed, I barked, “Hey!” He stopped and looked around until he saw me.

“Oh, hi!” he said.

“Where did you come from?” I asked. “I don’t know,” he said. “My people took me for a long ride and we stopped someplace near here. They opened the car door and let me out and then went away. Now, I can’t find where that was, so when they come back, I won’t be there.”

“What’s your name?” I asked.

“Name?” he said. “What’s name?”

“You know,” I said, “what they call you. What word did you hear most often? That’s probably your name.”

“Oh,” he said, “then my name is Shut-up-bad-dog-getdown.”

“That’s not a name,” I said. “A name is something special that sets you apart from every other dog. ‘Hey Boy,’ that’s your name from now on. When you hear somebody yell, “Hey Boy,” that means they are talking to you.

“Why would they do that?” he asked. “Nobody talked to me before. Mostly, I stayed on my chain, waiting for food and water.”

I saw that he wasn’t wearing a collar. “Hey Boy, where are your collar and tags?” I asked.

“I don’t know what that is,” he said. “Come over here by the fence,” I said, and I showed him my collar and tags.

He said, “That’s really pretty, but what do the jingly things mean?”

“They tell humans that I have been to the vet and all my shots are up to date,” I said.

“What are shots?” he asked.

He had never been to the vet, never had a check-up, and never had his shots. He may already have been sick with roundworm or heartworm, all kinds of things.

“I have to go,” he said. “I’m getting hungry and if I don’t find my humans soon, I don’t know how I’ll get something to eat.”

He started to trot away, but I barked, “Hey Boy!” He stopped and looked back at me. “If you don’t find your humans,” I said, “come back here. My humans will give you something to eat.”

He smiled and trotted away. And that’s the last time I saw Hey Boy. I know that there are lots of dogs out there that are just like Hey Boy, chained, ignored, and neglected. Call Danville’s alphas and see if there are ways they can keep dogs off chains. The Hendricks County Humane Society might be able to help with that, so call them, too. I’d call myself, but they probably don’t understand canine.

Even with refrigeration, raw cider will begin to become slightly carbonated within a week or so and eventually becomes hard cider as the alcohol develops.

ANoteFromBee What should I write about this week? Maybe Halloween. It is very close. People are putting up many decorations in their front yards. I’ve pulled out my Halloween shirts. Halloween it shall be. I found some interesting facts about Halloween on the internet.

Halloween is now the second largest holiday after Christmas. One-fourth of all candy sold in the U.S. is purchased for Halloween. Dogs have become so important to their owners. In 2019, 490 million dollars was spent on dog costumes.

The tradition of trick or treating in America probably dates back to early All Souls Parades in England. Poor people would beg for food and were given pastries called soul cakes and asked to pray for the dead of whomever gave them the cakes. There were myths in very early days that single women might use to possibly find out who their future husband might be. One of the ways ,the young woman would eat a sugary concoction that would cause her to dream of her future husband. I would imagine this myth was in the 1800’s.

Brownsburg is noted for having a haunted house in an old barn on the Konovsek property from 1969 to 19994. It was created by the imagination of Mrs. Konovsek otherwise known as Frankie. She originally invited family and friends to a small part of the barn decorated like a haunted house. The guests thought it should go public and so it did.

The first year 700 people came. My family was ncluded. My son Andy was about six years old and thought the headless horseman was a dummy and hit it in the stomach. It wasn’t a dummy. it was Mr. Konovsek (otherwise known as Frank). I was appalled and made Andy apologize. Each year the number of people coming to the house grew. The all time high was 8.000 people. The crowd got so big that various groups and organizations were asked to help. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were raised and donated to many worthwhile causes. The barn was The barn was destroyed on April 27, 1994 by a tornado. However it still lives on as a favorite childhood memory of the many people who went through the Haunted House.

SUDOKU SOLUTION

I get this question quite a bit from students, fellow hunters, and guides. The answer depends on quite a few variables. Everybody seems to have their go-to items and most of us have some basics that we just can’t leave home without.

First, where am I hunting? If I’m hunting near home, I can afford to leave some gear in my truck knowing I can always walk back for the things I need. If I am hunting out-of-state or out of the country, I will carry more gear because I don’t have access to things I might need.

On guided hunts, the outfitter will usually have a list of items including things like sunglasses, lip balm, emergency blanket (foil type), any medications needed and a GPS or compass.

Secondly, what am I hunting for? The gear I take for turkey hunting in the spring will be a bit different than the gear I take for whitetail deer hunting in the fall. Waterfowl requires steel ammo, calls, face masks, a hat and chest waders as well as temperature and precipitation appropriate clothes. Going into cactus country? Better pack, knee pads, heavy leather gloves, and of course tweezers to get those spines out. Ouch!

Third, how long will I be hunting? If I’m hunting for only a few hours, I might carry some water but no food. If I’m hunting all day, I will take a lunch and snacks. On a morning hunt, I might add an extra shirt or jacket, while on an afternoon hunt, I might not need one, so extra clothes get left out of the pack.

Fourth, what is the weather going to be while I’m hunting? If the weather is warm, I need less clothes. Warm and rain, demands other clothes plus a dry set of clothes in the truck. Cold weather that can be wet or dry requires yet other types of gear. Really cold weather demands items like handwarmers, boot blankets, hats, neck gaters, and hand muffs (camo of course!)

There are some staples that I carry in my pack. I always carry at least two light sources. There is nothing worse than walking. In a woods in the pitch dark and the dark of the moon. Truth be told, I usually have one around my neck and two more in the pack.

I always carry at least one knife. Always! Knives are such a great tool to have and sometimes I even get to use them on a critter. Cutting extra brush for a duck blind or that annoying thin limb that blocks the perfect shooting lane, all get the knife if possible.

I will carry a rangefinder during archery season but seldom during the gun season. Binoculars are in my pack most of the time especially after the leaves come off the trees and the crops are out of the fields. Bino’s are essential on trips away from the home turf. Many guides appreciate a hunter who helps scan the area for game. On a few hunts, I’ve even spotted game before the guide (as well as a lot of bushes and rocks that I swear look like critters.)

In really warm weather, I take bug repellent and sometimes a Thermacell. Skeeters, biting flies, chiggers and no-see-ums can ruin a hunt fast so these items stay in my pack until after a couple of frosts or freezes. This is especially true on spring bear hunts and hog hunting down south.

Another item that is always in my pack are my licenses and stamps. I also have transportation tags ready to put on a critter. Sounds simple but if the license is in my pack, I can change clothes and don’t have to worry about leaving it in the other pants or shirts.

I can’t leave my phone at home. I’m not addicted to the phone, but it is a versatile tool. Obviously, communications is the essential feature, but also the camera and occasionally as entertainment (Kindle books). Weather updates, GPS, compass, and if you have access to the Internet, the DNR website.

I always have a length of rope in my pack. Rope is such an essential tool. I use mine to haul up my pack, weapon of choice and has doubled as a drag rope on many occasions.

If a strap on a stand breaks, I can use the rope to keep me safe. For such a lightweight object, I keep on handy all the time.

Whatever you hunt and wherever you go, I wish you the best of luck! _____________________________________________

Avon Education Foundation Annual Breakfast ALLEN’S CORNER Celebrates Community Coming Together ON THE MUSIC SCENE

By Allen Kiger

Superintendent Scott Wyndham and AEF Executive Director Amanda Babinec accept a donation from the Hendricks County Community Foundation. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson The Avon Education Foundation’s (AEF) annual breakfast was cancelled last year due to COVID, but this year, they are back and better than ever, with the first-ever documentary made featuring Avon Community School Corporation.

From 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 3, the community is invited to attend the special event at the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds in Danville, to learn more about what the AEF is working on and view the powerful documentary, “Turning Point: The Phone Call That Changed a Community.”

A scene from the new documentary about Avon Community School’s reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic. ____________________________________________________

“Avon was the first school in the state of Indiana to shut down due to COVID,” said Amanda Babinec, Executive Director of AEF. “We were on the forefront of everything and many of us will never forget when we got that phone call.”

All schools in Indiana shifted to e-learning on March 9 and Babinec started her position on March 16, leaving her to wonder, with no students in the buildings, how to best serve.

She was inspired by the many groups and individuals stepping up to help in a variety of ways.

The women behind the lunch counters were concerned about students on free and reduced lunch and began providing breakfast and lunch in a drive-through fashion – up to 9,000 meals each week.

Teachers began working to reach their children through a computer screen, using creativity to keep students engaged and focused on learning.

As a mother of three, Babinec recognized her own need for school supplies. Her children needed a ruler for a math assignment, scissors for the next grammar assignment and more.

“I thought, if I’m having problems finding all the right supplies for these assignments, what are the kids doing that don’t have access,” Babinec said. “I knew the lunch ladies were already set to distribute meals, so I thought we should get in that line and distribute school supplies to anyone who needed them. We packaged 100 bags and blew through them in an hour. The next week, we packaged 200 bags and blew through those in two hours and we could see this was a need across the board.”

For the past two years, AEF has sponsored a Supply-It-Forward event on the last Saturday before school starts. In an effort to make the event an experience, students don’t just drive through an receive a backpack, they get to walk through and ‘shop’ for the items they need.

Avon Educaton Foundation’s Supply-It-Forward is an annual event the weekend prior to school starting. ____________________________________________________

Back to school shopping is a big event in our household. We spend the day getting all of our supplies, maybe going to lunch and we might get our nails done or get a new outfit,” Babinec said. “At this event, the students each get a personal shopper (volunteer) to walk through the ‘store’ and pick out their favorite backpack, the color ruler they want, the type of pencil pouch they prefer and more.

Everyone gets a free book and a goody bag with personal hygiene items. They get to make the choices along the way.”

After they shop for school, students and families enter the gymnasium and have an opportunity to meet school principals, staff from Washington Township Parks Department, AJAA, Medicaid and a whole host of resources from the community.

They can receive breakfast or lunch, depending on the time they arrive and they also receive gift cards for food in the area and other goodies to make the start of the school year, a little easier on everyone.

Volunteers were offering manicures for the girls and next year, Babinec hopes to offer haircuts as well.

“Our community was awesome,” Babinec said. “We had 30 days to raise $30,000 for the first event and we raised it in 20 days. We’ve been very blessed.”

In planning for the AEF annual breakfast, Babinec wanted to tell the story of an entire community coming together to help and support each other during a difficult time.

She contacted Ian Petro, a videographer in Avon and to her surprise, learned that Petro was a sophomore at Avon High School.

“We had the most passionate, awesome conversation,” Babinec said. “He could totally see my vision and he is super talented. We want to celebrate what AEF has done, but really focus on what the community as a whole has done.”

Monte Carlo Night and other events are fundraisers for AEF each year. ___________________________________________________

Elvira 40 The Oak Ridge Boys performed Saturday evening at the beautiful Paramount Theater in Anderson, Indiana in front of a sold out crowd. The Oaks took the stage singing “American Made” followed by “Y’all Come Back Saloon.” Joe Bonsall stopped to welcome the audience and give his love for the beautiful theater.

Other songs in the lineup during the evening included “You’re The One,” and “Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight.” In addition, fan favorite sung by William Lee Golden called “Thank God For Kids,” which was followed by a very heart warming song “I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes.”

Joe again addressed the audience and told them of recently performing in front of a huge crowd of about 20,000 people and how the young audience reacted to “There Will Be Light,” a song from their 17th Avenue Revival CD. This was such a touching and moving song about how things will get better. This sentiment is something everyone in the crowd could relate to during our current hard times in this world which we live.

The Oak Ridge Boys introduced a few songs from their brand new CD Front Porch Singin’. The two songs that really seamed to grab the audience most was a beautiful song “Swing Down Chariot” and their new single “Love, Light, and Healing.” These were such powerful songs that inspired the crowd.

Joe paused to recount some big hits songs in 1981 like “Betty Davis Eyes,” Rick Spingfield’s “Jesse’s Girl,” and Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration.” But, 40 years ago in 1981 the big song was “Elvira.” As The Oaks started to sing their trademark song the crowd exploded, stood to their feet and sang every word. It’s hard to believe “Elvira” has turned 40 and appeals to an audience of people from their early 20’s to people in their 90’s. It was nice to see everyone coming together and having so much fun! While the crowd was still on their feet The Oak Ridge Boys ended their show with another popular song “Bobbie Sue.” William Lee Golden, who is his 80’s, could be seen running laps around the stage during this final song.

I wish all of my readers could have attended the show.

It was a night of great music and singing by one of America’s finest groups to ever set foot on a stage. I have seen The Oak Ridge Boys many times. I always leave in a great mood and inspired that God is in control and that “There Will Be Light.” ______________________________________________

AEF sponsors events throughout the entire year. Mark your calendar for the annual Monte Carlo night on March 12, 2022 and Stars and Pars (glow in the dark golf) on May 13, 2022.

Individual tickets for the breakfast event are $35 and all are invited to attend. For a trailer about the documentary or registration information for the breakfast, visit https:// www.avoneducationfoundation.org/events/2021-annual-breakfast.

Community Mourns ICON Publisher Rick Myers

By Melissa Gibson Last week, family, friends and community members laid to rest a man that meant so much to so many.

Richard K. “Rick” Myers, 59, was co-owner of Grow Local Media. He was the publisher of the Hendricks County Business Leader and Hendricks County ICON among other publications. He passed RICK MEYERS away Oct. 14, 2021.

Myers was a friend and volunteer in the community, including board member and former President of the Avon Kiwanis Club and member of Knights of Columbus St. Malachy’s Council 12540.

Co-owner of Grow Local Media Brian Kelly worked with Myers for more than 35 years.

“Rick was an incredible guy on several levels. He was a great father and husband and loved his family above all else. Second to that, was his community. He loved Hendricks County, the readers and customers. He had a real passion for his community, reflected not only in the pages of the ICON but service to clubs and non-profits as well.

He walked the talk, as they say,” Kelly said.

A long-time contributor to the ICON and co-host of the ICON’s podcasts, Gus Pearcy said, “Rick was a believer in community. He felt a local newspaper reflected the community it served. The community has lost a cheerleader for sure.”

The newspaper industry has seen many changes in recent years, as digital begins to take over. However, Myers felt in spite of the changes, people needed local newspapers now, more than ever.

“He was building a newspaper, when others were shutting down presses,” Pearcy said.

In a recent podcast, Myers shared, “I learned early on that the newspaper was a mirror of the community.”

He’d come back from a trip with a stack of newspapers to comb over, watching what others were doing that worked and dismissing the things that didn’t.

“He believed in it,” Kelly said. “He’d get us all charged up and would say, ‘nothing is better than the newspaper. It cuts through all the noise, and print is permanent’. He was proud of what he did and did all he could for the community.”

Anyone who knew him has heard him say, ‘Content is king’ and Myers, along with his staff worked hard to produce compelling content.

“He built a solid staff of great writers’ and great relationships with customers and readers. His wife Cathy has been involved in the business from the start and the ICON will continue because of those efforts,” Kelly said.

Myers received the Avon Chamber of Commerce’s Outstanding Professional Award in 2009, the Suzanne Whicker Distinguished Service Award from Leadership Hendricks County and was named in Editor and Publisher magazine’s 15 over 50: Honoring the Leaders Driving the News Industry Forward.

A champion in the industry, he will be greatly missed. ______________________________________________

Brownsburg Man Stars in Netflix’s Metal Shop Masters

The seven-foot tall No. 88 was delivered to North Carolina in time for racing legend Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s retirement celebration. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Patsis display’s his Netflix trophy in his Brownsburg shop. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Tom Patsis worked for Don Schumacher’s Racing for 11 years and honed his craft in welding and fabrication.

“In racing you need to be versatile and fix things on the road,” Patsis said. “When these cars are going 330 miles per hour, you can’t just have anyone doing the welding.

It’s very serious.”

Patsis would practice welding and began creating car replicas and other pieces. Once he posted a piece online and things snowballed from there.

Patsis has slowly been making a name for himself and his business, Cold Hard Art in Brownsburg.

“In the beginning, it was a side business. I was working 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Schumacher and then working on my side business from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Working at Schumacher was a dream job, I loved the place and I still interact with everyone, but I began falling asleep while trying to get the side business projects done, so I ended up giving Schumacher a six month notice and as of Oct. of 2015, went into business for myself full-time,” Patsis said.

That decision has paid off, as Patsis has a current wait list of 18 months or so, but he does make exceptions for time sensitive requests. He regularly creates trophies and

award pieces for Indy Car, NASCAR and many drag racing and sprint car events.

“My whole thing is racing. I love using race car parts to put together a piece, many people like the ‘junk art’ look but I also work with clean metal too. I use tig welding, so think of it like a fine tipped sharpie, welding very thin metal, like the thickness of a credit card.”

That’s where the art comes in.

Patsis explains there’s a difference between the welding needed for construction; something that will be extended over your head, like in the ceiling of a large building or done for the cage made inside a race car versus the tig welding Patsis does on a regular basis.

His work requires a fine-tuned, creativity – more artwork versus construction work.

“Anyone can learn to weld. Men and women can take classes and become welders and I don’t think there’s ever been an abundance of too many welders compared to jobs available. Nobody wants a $10 welder. If I’m responsible for this building, I want the best. You want someone who knows what they’re doing,” Patsis said.

It takes 30-40 hours to build most of the replicas and pieces Patsis creates and over time, he’s had opportunities to make something truly special.

He was commissioned by NBC to create a seven-foot tall, No. 88 for Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s retirement celebration.

In honor of sprint car racer Bryan Clauson, Patsis makes the trophy for the annual BC39 race in memory of him.

Tom Patsis with Cold Hard Art delivers a custom piece to former professional race car driver Danica Patrick.

He also created the piece for NFL’s Washington Football former quarterback, Alex Smith.

Smith’s wife contacted Patsis to see if he could make something out of Smith’s halo apparatus used to repair his extensive leg injury. Patsis made a piece, modeled after the Vince Lombardi trophy and it went viral.

Then Netflix called.

Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t seen the new Netflix series Metal Shop Masters, released in early September-, Hendricks County is the proud home to the shows winner.

“They found me through Instagram. This was the first season for the show, so I didn’t know it was even an option at the time,” Patsis said.

After many conversations, the Netflix team asked Patsis if he was interested in participating and before he knew it, he was off to Los Angeles for three and a half weeks to battle for the title of best metal shop master.

“It was definitely a highlight of my life; you get married, have a baby, get on Netflix…,” Patsis joked. “It was almost surreal. All the other people there have their own skills and talents and the different ways they take these challenges on. I think my advantage was being in the motor sports world. It’s competitive, it’s time sensitive, you have to figure out priorities and know what the rules are.”

The television series brought seven people from across the country with a variety of styles and each had a special story that brought them to where they are today.

Patsis makes trophies like these for special events and awards ceremonies. ____________________________________________________

Comedian Jo Coy hosted the show, along with judges David Madero and Stephanie Hoffman and brought an element of humor to the seriousness of the show along with a bit of education.

“You need the person [Coy] that doesn’t weld to be able to ask those questions and explain what’s going on,” Patsis said.

He said participating in the show was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he didn’t anticipate winning.

“I never got stressed out about it. If you go home, you’ve already been a part of something cool. To think of winning would be a bonus but it was more about getting to the next challenge,” Patsis said. “I just focused on myself and what I could do.”

As it turned out, Patsis did win, taking home a trophy that sits in his shop today and $50,000 that he says will be used to pay bills and save.

“I think this is a dream job. I get to do the fun stuff,” Patsis said. “I’m using my talent to create art for people. I started out in a two-bay garage, one table and one bucket of junk. It’s difficult to make things with just one bucket, but now, I have my own shop, several tables, six welders and pallets of scrap from race teams in the area. It’s great to have the space and get to use my creativity.”

Dr. Anne Mattingly Speaks to Hendricks County DAR Chapter for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

DR. ANN MATTINGLY

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Dr. Anne Mattingly, breast surgical oncologist at the Hendricks Regional Health Breast Center, was the guest speaker at the October meeting of Wa-PeKe-Way Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR).

Noting that breast cancer is the most common cancer to women with one in eight women being diagnosed with breast cancer and in 2021 approximately 280,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women will be diagnosed and approximately 50,000 new cases of non-invasive

breast cancer will be diagnosed. Dr. Mattingly said this makes it a very significant disease to women.

Breast cancer is only second to lung cancer in terms of women dieing from cancer. So, although it is a very common cancer, it is a very deadly cancer.

She said the goal in screening is to find cancer at an earlier stage, at a non-invasive stage where it has not had the chance to spread outside the breast.

This may avoid chemo therapy and may allow more limited surgery.

Breast cancer also can affect men; with 1 in 800 being diagnosed with breast cancer. It is not as common but definitely worth mentioning. For a long time, men were left out of trials and had limited treatment options because there wasn’t sufficient data to treat breast cancer in men. There have been better strides made in the last 10-20 years to include all people for breast cancer testing.

The risk of breast cancer increases if you have

first degree relative such as mother or sister who had breast cancer but noted that the majority of those diagnosed don’t have any family history.

Dr. Mattingly said although you cannot control your genes or family history, there are things people can control to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Alcohol has been associated with an increase in breast cancer. One drink per day can increase risk by 10% over non-drinkers with 2 drinks per day increasing to 20% increased risk over non-drinkers. Other factors are maintaining a healthy weight, eating healthy such as a plant-based diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and limiting red meat and dairy, exercising in 30-45 minute sessions for a total of 150 minutes per week and not smoking. Breast feeding can also reduce risk of breast cancer.

When asked about estrogen and hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Mattingly said another risk factor for cancer can be hormones. If you look at

cancer like a fire, estrogen is like pouring gasoline on a fire because it allows it to grow more quickly and spread. You want to limit the fuel to the cancer cells.

Dr. Mattingly said there has been a lot of discussion about hormone treatment; one being improving the quality of life for women during menopause and also improves bone health. You have to look at it on an individual reason for the end gain. It is not a good idea to stay on hormone treatment for several years.

If an individual has a family history of breast cancer, there is now expanded knowledge and more red flags for what to look for.

Such as beginning diagnosis and taking preventative measures at a young age, looking at rare cancers in close relative such as pancreatic cancer and ovarian cancer, reviewing at multiple cancers of same type in a family. Any one of these would be make one a candidate for genetic testing, and getting a 3D mammogram which is more accurate and can detect cancer earlier.

Early detection is key.

Dr. Anne Mattingly is a board-certified surgeon and breast surgical oncologist in the Hendricks Regional Health Medical Group.

Dr. Mattingly grew up in Lafayette with six brothers and sisters. She completed her medical training and surgery residency at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. She also completed a Breast Surgical Oncology fellowship at the renowned H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.

In August 2016, Dr. Mattingly joined Dr. Monet Bowling alongside plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Rachel Scott, Nurse Practitioner and High Risk Specialist Jennifer Pierle, and the rest of the incredible team at the Hendricks Regional Health Breast Center to lead the charge for breast health in our community.

Dr. Mattingly enjoys educating on advancements in breast cancer research such as the significance of the availability of 3D mammography which can detect

breast cancer months earlier than 2D mammography.

She also stresses the importance of knowing family history, and how that plays into personal risk.

Sectional Round One

By David Winters After finishing a second consecutive nearly flawless regular season, and wrapping up their second consecutive conference championship, Danville welcomed the Tiger Cubs of Greencastle to Warrior Stadium for a first-round match up of the 2021 IHSAA Sectional round of the state tournament.

Weather conditions were cool and wet and thankfully the rain ceased prior to kickoff and the fans settled in nicely to watch the home team start another quest to reach Lucas Oil in November. With no disrespect to Greencastle, this game was seen as a good warm up before hitting the tougher part of the playoff run.

After the defense stopped Greencastle on the opening possession, forcing a punt, the offense set the tone on their first possession…check that…senior running back

Matthew McGovern set the tone on the Warrior first possession as every play was a running play handled by the young man and capped off by a 1-yard push into the end zone to give Danville the early 7-0 lead after kicker Caleb Harvey added the extra point.

On the next defensive stanza for Danville, Wyatt Gentry recovered a Greencastle fumble on their 34-yard line.

Unfortunately, they would come up empty after a missed field goal gave the ball back to the Tiger Cubs deep in their own territory. However, the Warrior defense stepped up and forced a punt from deep in their end zone. It looked as though the punt was partially blocked and as a result, Danville had the ball at the Tiger Cub 18-yard line. A few plays later, Andrew Poppa ran it in from five yards out and the Harvey PAT gave Danville a 14-0 lead with just over 4 minutes left in the first quarter.

Danville would once again stop the Greencastle offense and get the ball back at their own 36-yard line. Quarterback Kale Payne wasted no time to add to the early lead when he connected with Brayton McMahon for a 64-yard completion with 53 seconds still remaining in the first. The Warriors led 21-0.

The pace of the game would not change as Danville controlled both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. The Warriors would eventually take a 41-0 lead before Greencastle quarterback Keifer Wilson completed a 26-yard pass to Connor George to get the Tiger Cubs on the board. In the end, it was not enough and Danville won this one quite easily by a final score of 41-7.

Payne finished the game 11-18 for 191 yards and two touchdowns. McGovern had his best game rushing the ball 16 times for 180 yards and three touchdowns.

Next up for the Warriors is a road trip to face Indiana Creek, who defeated Indianapolis-Washington High School 36-18 in their first-round game.

Jenna Pike: Pursuing An Equestrian Life

By: Olivia O’Neal Jenna Pike, a sophomore at Danville Community High School, has already paved a path for her future in equestrian sports at the young age of 16.

Being a horse trainer, giving lessons, and involvement in equine therapy are just some examples of her devotion to a life of bridles and saddles.

Since she was six, with the introduction of horselife by her mother, Pike has been involved in just about every equine competition imaginable.

Ten years of riding English, Western, Jumping, Contesting, and Side Saddle combined with Halter and Showmanship competitions have led to plenty of awards “all around the state,” most commonly the Hendricks County fairgrounds and Bainbridge.

These include High Point awards for English and Western patterns; Grand and Reserve Champion bags for Halter and English riding; belt buckles for Western High Point riding; many 1st place ribbons; and a surplus of Grand and Reserve Champion banners at a variety of different fair events. Pike’s favorites are her 4H Banners.

“I was told when I was young that my horse would never be good enough,” she explained, “so the banners make me think of all [my] accomplishments.”

And she doesn’t find a single moment a waste: “My overall relationship with horses is the best.

[Around them] I feel so relaxed and can act myself.

Trunk-or-Treat at Eakin Park

Danville Parks & Recreation will host Drive-Thru Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday, October 20, 4 to 6 p.m., at Gary Eakin Park, 600 E CR 50 N (Sycamore Land) Danville.

Costumes are encouraged for this free event.

3rd Grade Winners Funniest 3rd Grade Winner Spooky Basement

By Amber Muncy

One dark and stormy Halloween night, I could no longer ignore the strange sound coming from the basement door.

So I got my Nerf gun from under my bed and a flashlight. I closed my eyes, opened the door, and screamed when I shot my Nerf gun. My parents came running down the stairs and I told them the story that I was afraid of my dog because I thought he was making the noises. They said we don’t have a dog. Ahhhhhhhh! So me and my parents decided to go down to the basement to investigate. We grabbed two more Nerf guns, one for my mom and one for my dad. We tiptoed down the stairs and once we got to the bottom we stopped because we heard the noise again. So I hid behind my parents. We found something sleeping on the couch and we shot our Nerf guns. Then my dad turned on the lights and we saw…my grandpa on the couch with Nerf bullets stuck all over his face and one on his hands.

He was still sleeping and snoring. I said “Wait, was that the noise we heard?” Dad said “I guess.” Grandpa sneezed and the Nerf gun flew out and hit mom in the face. She said “Eww gross! Grandpa snot.” After mom cleaned herself up we went back to bed and I no longer heard the noise again. ______________________________________________

Spookiest 3rd Grade Winner The Creature in the Basement

By Mirabeth Cambell

One dark and stormy Halloween night, I could no longer ignore the strange sound coming from my basement door.

I heard it in my bedroom. Even under the covers, I could still hear the sound. I didn’t want to be alone so I ran to my parent’s room. They have lots of kids. They are very tired. They would not wake. So I tried my big sister. She is a teenager. SHE would not wake up. My last choice was my little sisters. They would be useless but I took one so I wouldn’t be alone. Since there was two of us, I knew we were going to need supplies. For the supplies, I grabbed a flashlight, a mini baseball bat and my fastest running shoes just in case. I dragged my sister to the front door of the basement door. AS I opened the door, the sounds became clearer. I heard hissing. I heard growling. Then I heard something that said, “mama”. When I got to the bottom of the steps I tried to turn on the light switch. It didn’t work so I turned on my flashlight. When I did, I saw big green eyes staring at me. I ran screaming up the stairs. As caught my breath, I come back down the stairs to see what that was. With my flashlight I crept very slowly to the green eyes. When my flashlight shined on it I saw a black tail swish by. I screamed. It meows….wait...it meows? Monsters don’t meow! I turned the flash light on it again. There in an old box of baby toys sat our cat, but it sprang at me and scared me half to death. They say curiosity killed the cat but that cat almost killed me. Hopefully it will never happen again. ______________________________________________

Most Creative- 3rd Grade Winner The Monster Baby

By Zoey Snider

One dark and stormy Halloween night, I could no longer ignore the strange sound coming from the basement door.

I went to the basement door and didn’t know if I should open it or not. I was shaking!!! My fingers were tingling!!!

But, I peeked inside and was SHOCKED from what I saw.

I wasn’t sure what I was looking at. It had two cute little blue eyes, orange and yellow horns, blue fur, and yellow paws. It was floating in the air behind three stacks of cardboard boxes. When I saw it, it was eating our cherries and mangoes. I went slowly towards it with my knees shaking. Want to know why I was going towards it? Because I wanted to get a closer look at what it was. While I was going towards it, it looked like a baby monster to me. I ran back upstairs to tell my mom, but she didn’t believe me.

All she said was, “There is no such thing as baby monsters.” I knew that I had to find the baby monster’s family on my own. The best idea (my only idea) that I had was to take the baby monster trick-or-treating tonight. Really, we were trick-or-treating for monster parents not tricks or candy. We went to every house except we had two left. So far no luck on finding monster parents. The next house that we went to, there was no one home. Now I had one house left. What should I do if this last house doesn’t belong to the baby monster? Where will I find its parents? I really had my hopes up that this house was the baby monster’s house. I was super scared to knock, but did it anyway. A young human couple answered the door. The young couple said, “We are not trick-or-treating or giving out candy this year because we are trying to find out baby.” I showed them the baby monster that I had in my hands and they looked so happy after I showed them. I didn’t know why they were so happy because the baby is a monster and they were humans. I asked them why they were so happy.

They ripped off their human costumes and said, “When I thought this was going to be the worst Halloween night ever, you brought me my baby. Which is the best treat on the Halloween block!” _____________________________________________

4th Grade Winners Funniest 4th Grade Winner That Night

By Kyndall Dostin

One dark and stormy Halloween night, I could no longer ignore the strange sound coming from the basement door.

I was laying in my bed deciding if I wanted to go down there. After about 5 minutes I decided I was going to go down there. I got out of my bed and opened my bedroom door and went right to the basement but just by the door.

I started to hear what kind of sounded like light footsteps down there which made me not want to go. I was so scared to but I opened the door. I went down there and there was nothing but then I remembered there was a closet! In the closet it was empty so someone could easily fit in the closet which made me super scared to open it but I built up the courage and opened the closet. I opened it really slowly just in case something did pop up and scare me. I looked and there was nothing. But then I hear more light and quiet footsteps. I look behind me and AHHHHHHHHH!!!! THERE IS A CLOWN!!!!! But wait the clown starts laughing, and takes off his mask. I am FREAKED out. I am biting my nails and fidgeting around so much!

And when he takes off his mask, it is my dad! Seriously, my dad. I got so mad at my dad I just ran back upstairs. I probably didn’t talk to him for the rest of the night. UGH dads these days! THE END!! ______________________________________________

Spookiest 4th Grade Winner THE NOISE

By Lyla Nichols

One dark and stormy Halloween night, I could no longer ignore the strange sound coming from the basement door.

So I did the unthinkable and I went down into the basement. Usually me and my brother aren’t allowed to go in the basement but, this was IMPORTANT! And guess what happens next...NOTHING! And then, MY BROTHER jumped out at me in the CLOWN COSTUME that I HATE! I was so terrified I jerked back! He started dying of laughter, I couldn’t believe him I was so mad at him! Then I said “you better NOT do this at my sleepover tomorrow, you know how my friends are going to react.” “Yes, yes, I know, Keelie, you told me a million times,” said my brother. The next day Lisa + Sarah came at 9:00 sharp just like what Keelie said. “Perfect!” Keelie said with excitement.

Then, at 10:00 they got ready for bed. And at 11:00 Keelie + her friends heard the noise AGAIN! And Lisa + Sarah were getting scared. But I just said ,“It is just my brother.” But just then my BROTHER came RUNNING, into my room! I let out the biggest, the loudest scream I have ever done. “AAAAHHH,” I screeched in terror. Then I said “We have to go see what it was.” And Lisa + Sarah said with their loudest voice “NO! We are LEAVING,” but when they tried, the doors were ALL locked!

And I finally convinced them to go into the basement with me + my brother, too. And when we went into the basement we saw nothing! But just then when we were just about to leave, ALL the doors locked to get into the living room from the basement. And THEN, something tapped my shoulder AND IT WAS...to be continued. ______________________________________________

Most Creative 4th Grade Winner The NOISE By: Ryan Roberts

One dark and stormy Halloween night, I could no longer ignore the strange sound coming from the basement door.

My mom asked me to go check what it was. I said “It’s probably a rat.” “That’s the PROBLEM,” Mom shouted so I got a broom from the closet. I opened the basement door “come on mousey mousey” I said in a soft voice.

The noise got louder like footsteps, step Step STep STEP a white figure ran past the end of the stairs. I shivered. I saw drops of red on the ground. The footsteps got faster step step step, there’s a corner you turn right before I pass it a white head peaked out red eyes stared into my soul I screamed EEEEEH. My mother didn’t come. I ran back up the stairs and didn’t look back. “Mom, MOM, there’s some white monster in the basement,” I said out of breath. My mom said, “NO WAY.” “ YES WAY, GO LOOK.” “Ok,” Mom said. She opened the door and it was crawling up the stairs! Mom screamed like a girl, “EEEEEEEEEE!” It had what looked like blood on its fingers. Mom went back upstairs and grabbed Dad’s flare gun and opened back up the door. She shot a flare and slammed the door BAM smoke seeps through the door. After a minute we checked the rest of the basement. There was a note on the ground I picked it up it said “I’LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR.” written in sloped writing. Okay, that’s the END. ______________________________________________

LEROY SMITH, 78, of North Salem, passed away unexpectedly, October 18, 2021 in Hendricks Regional Health, Danville. Services were Saturday, October 23, 2021 in the North Salem United Methodist Church. Burialwas in Fairview Cemetery following the service.

Leroy Smith was born in Kempton, Indiana on September 10, 1943 to Hubert and Pearl Smith. He was the second oldest, brother to Jesse, Mary, and Hubert Junior. They all graduated from North Salem School.

Growing up, Leroy worked for Ma Moose. It was here he discovered his love of cooking and food. He also worked for his family’s dairy farm. He’d often enjoy a fresh glass of milk straight from the cow.

On July 1, 1967 Leroy married his wife of 54 years, Suzie Eggers. It was hotter than blue blazes with no air conditioning.

On their one year anniversary when they pulled out the top tier of their cake they hadn’t realized it had been invaded by gnats and inedible.

They had two children, Leroy II and Suzanne. They were his greatest achievement. As early as Leroy II can remember, he rode side by side with his father until the day he began to drive side by side. Their successful partnership continued throughout the years up until their last trip to Missouri in September of 2021. Suzanne will always cherish the memory of telling her dad she’d like to live by the ocean. He told her “well I think you’d get awfully tired of looking at the ocean everyday.”

Leroy bought his first truck in 1969. It was a red B Model Mack. It didn’t take long for him to discover Mack wasn’t for him. He’d often tell people that if you didn’t drive a Peterbilt, you didn’t drive a truck. He always loved driving and found a lot of joy in taking anyone and everyone for a ride.

For 52 years Leroy was a successful owner and operator of Smith Trucking, located in North Salem, Indiana.

He was an exceptional man of integrity. He was a loving husband, a dedicated father, grandfather and an inspirational friend.

This has been a tragic loss, but Leroy will be forever in our hearts.

We will honor him by sharing our favorite memories, cooking his sacred recipes, working hard, and cherishing the things we love most.

He is survived by his wife, siblings, kids, and grandkids, Sue, Hubert Jr, Mary, Leroy II (Amanda, Tyler, Taylor), Suzanne (Kenneth, Kenya, Kamren).

ANDREW C. SHOTTS, 64, passed away October 19, 2021.

He was an Assembler Group Leader for GM-Janesville, Wisconsin. He was also a member of the Pine Hill Archery Club, winning several State and National Indoor/ Outdoor Archery Tournaments. He was also a member of Bethesda Baptist Church.

Andy was very patriotic. He loved America and President Trump.

Andrew was preceded in death by the love of his life, Debbie Copeland.

Surviving are his son, Jeremiah (Jessie) Shotts; mother, Myrna L. Moler; siblings, Linda Carmack and Mike (Suzanne) Shotts; grandchildren, Tinsley and Jackson Shotts.

Andy loved his nieces and nephews- Brad, Kelly, Amie, Jamie, Lauryn, Trey, Mariah, Paige, Nora, Brooklyn, Jack and Elliot.

Services were Sunday October 24, 2021 at Conkle Funeral Home Speedway. ________________________

STEVEN R. LINVILLE, 38, of Plainfield, passed peacefully at IU Methodist hospital on Tuesday, October 19, 2021.

Steven graduated cum laude from DePauw University with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance in 2006 and received his Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 2012. Previously a member of the Indianapolis Opera Chorus, he has served as Executive Producer for Intimate Opera of Indianapolis and on the board of Buck Creek Players.
