Veterans Day Tribute

The public is invited to “Veterans Light the Path for Freedom” hosted by the Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution on Veterans Day, Thursday, November 11 to honor local veterans.

The event was held last year by the chapter in an effort to social distance and was so well attended and received by area residents, the chapter will repeat the event, said Rhonda Beck, Chapter and Indiana State Chair for Service for Veterans.

Red, white and blue luminaria are placed completely around the Hendricks County Court House Square in Danville. Each one bears the name of an area veteran, their branch of service and conflict (if any).

Beck said the luminaries look amazing after dark and expects an additional 300 or more luminaria to be added this year bringing the total to 1000 or more. The chapter’s work with their military banner project and other events with veterans has provided them opportunity to gather numerous additional names.

A brief ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. on the east side of the Court House, then patriotic music will be played while attendees walk around the Square to find their names or those of loved ones.

In addition to the luminaria, Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter members annually place 133 flags on the Courthouse lawn on Veterans Day for each of the individuals from Hendricks County who died while serving our country. Each flag is accompanied by a marker providing their name.

This year photos of the individuals will be added in a separate display.

The public is encouraged to contact the chapter with names of area residents who are veterans, living or deceased, so a luminaria can be made for them or if they just want to check if there is already a luminary in their name.

There is no cost for the luminaria. The chapter does retain them, however, so they can be used in future years.

Please email Rhonda Beck at rhondajb7408@yahoo. com or by calling 815.953.2101 with name, branch of service and conflict, if any. Because some families have several family members that served in the military, the chapter will once again make every attempt to group families and friends together for “photo ops.” Names must be received no later than November 8, at noon.

Got News?

Groundbreaking for Ronald Reagan Logistics Center at Brownsburg Tuesday, the Town of Brownsburg, along with developer Scannell Properties and general contractor The Peterson Company, broke ground on the first phase of the Ronald Reagan Logistics Center @ I-74, a multi-facility logistics and distribution center development.

The first phase of this two-phase development includes four buildings totaling 1,411,800 SF and parking space for 298 trailers and 774 cars. Pepper Construction of Indiana is the general contractor for one of the buildings, to be complete by next fall. The Peterson Company is the general contractor for the other three buildings, one of which will be complete in June 2022, and the last two will be complete by next fall.

“Ronald Reagan Logistics Center is just the sort of development the Ronald Reagan Parkway was built to serve. We are so excited to welcome this development to Brownsburg and believe this park will be a catalyst for future industrial and commercial development for our community,” said Travis Tschaenn, Brownsburg Town Council president.

“Brownsburg is a perfect location for a logistics center like this. The huge growth of e-commerce is likely to continue, and consumers want to receive their products fast.

From Brownsburg, goods can reach nearly 60% of the U.S. in one day,” said Shaun Cofer, development manager at Scannell Properties.

Phase two of the development will launch in the fall of 2022 and may include five facilities totaling more than 2.4 million SF along with several retail opportunities.

“We at Peterson are thrilled to be working with such a top-notch company like Scannell Properties in a forward-thinking community like Brownsburg. Both Scannell and Brownsburg have high standards, and Peterson will work diligently to uphold their vision for this up-and-coming development,” said Larry Siegler, chief operating officer for Peterson.

The Republican

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner takes items from

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

To the Editor: Drowsing in the library on a rainswept day, I read Brownsburg’s canning factory in October 1896 was churning out 18,000 cans of tomatoes a day.

I remembered green tomatoes can be electrified to make a battery, and that they possess slight diamagnetism properties as well.

Few likely knew that back then, so “electric” and “magnetic” described things that were neither when sly marketers decided both words were sufficiently intriguing to reel in credulous customers.

Bald people who had abandoned hope in 1850 for luxurious manes were urged to get the Magnetic Hair Restorer and Invigorator from the Empire Company in New York.

Glabrous Advertiser readers surely hitched horse and drove to Danville, inconspicuously asking who around the Square had the stuff.

Agents in Danville and Springtown sold Dr. W. Swan’s Magnetic and Vegetable Purifying Pills in 1851. Swan’s cleansed the liver, stomach and bowels without purging or vomiting.

I found no further reference to “magnetic” until 1877 when Dr. J. Clark, one of “nature’s own magnetic healers,” lectured two nights in Clayton on physiology and “the magnetic touch.”

A local doctor, “who had observations with him privately, reports him thin.”

A mystifying San Francisco medium in 1880 “surmised” her powers arose from “certain physical peculiarities, in the shape of “magnetic endowments,” enabling spirits to “express themselves.”

Seven years pass before another magnetic mention. This time, it’s Magnetic Insoles for relief from rheumatism, cold feet and bad circulation, price $1, please include shoe size.

Those insoles were “the most powerful made in the world” and afforded relief within three minutes.

The Magnetic Appliance Company of Chicago manufactured the miraculous devices, along with Magnetic Kidney Belts for gentlemen.

The belts would “positively cure” pain in the back, head or limbs; nervous and general debility, and lumbago; rheumatism, paralysis and neuralgia; sciatica, kidney diseases and torpid liver.

They remedied something I’m uncomfortable mentioning, impotency, heart disease, dyspepsia, indigestion, hernia or rupture, piles, and more.

Together with the insoles, cost was $10. I’d spend that – and more –even if I didn’t suffer from all those conditions. Waist size needed.

Both were warranted to cure that thing I can’t mention, and impotency, in one year or money back.

Ladies could order an Abdominal Belt and Magnetic Foot Batteries for conditions I can’t disclose for fear of being indiscreet, but about which Magnetic Appliance wanted “full particulars,” for only $10, six-month trial guaranteed money back. These devices were worn over the underclothing and held their power “forever.”

Keeter & Company on the Square’s west side sold six bars of Magnetic Soap for 25 cents in mid-1888. That quarter would buy seven bars of Every Day Soap. Old potatoes were $1 per bushel. A nickel bought a pound of prunes.

Mrs. M.C. Thayer of downtown Indianapolis treated all diseases using water and Dr. Thacher’s magnetic shields in 1890. The miraculous “hydro-magnetism” cured chronic rheumatism and neuralgia in a few days.

Dropsy, hernia, spinal difficulties, hip trouble and “all deformities of children” were cured with Magnetic Shields, along with nervous trouble, palsy, paralysis, epilepsy and chronic dyspepsia. Heart disease was cured in 99 out of 100 cases.

A “very fleshy” Indianapolis woman suffering from rheumatism claimed both cure and eight-inch waistline loss. A bedridden Shelbyville man beset with rheumatism and blood poisoning was not only cured but gained “50 pounds of flesh in four months.”

Mrs. Thayer cured boils, carbuncles and felon fingers at no charge. She convened consultations at Mrs. Daggy’s place in Danville.

In 1902, readers sent a stamp or 10 cents to The Investigator, Box 7X, Willow Mill, Illinois. In return, they would learn about hypnotism and magnetic healing, “no fake.”

This was a 30-day offer, so don’t send anything now.

Defiance Starch which housewives “must have” for the laundry was unequalled; Magnetic Starch Manufacturing of Omaha produced it. A 16-ounce package not requiring cooking cost a dime.

G.W. Sharp handled the “full line” of Professor Long’s Celebrated Magnetic Combs in 1903. These wondrous combs, which I think were made of an aluminum alloy, removed dandruff, stopped hair loss, and cured headaches.

Sharp was county agent for the Mound City Dish Washer. The device was a large lidded pot equipped with a crank on top. Filled with dirty dishes, water and detergent, and cranked for five minutes, the gadget rendered everything inside clean and undamaged. I’d buy one.

Publisher’s Point of View It’s No News November

Well, it’s four days into No News November. How are you doing? Have any twitches developed? Are you getting bruises trying to read a stranger’s newsfeed?

Or maybe you’ve been sneaking a peak every now and then just to make sure you aren’t missing out on something tragically important. Or maybe you think it’s a dumb idea and you are still constantly checking your newsfeed, your FB feed, your twitter feed and so on.

Let me let you in on a little secret: It’s okay. Whether it’s politics, climate change, shortage of workers, inflation or the national debt, it will be okay. There’s nothing that will change just because you were listening to it in November.

You may not have heard your neighbor’s rant against President Biden or your cousin’s tirade about former President Trump. You may have missed the suffering your neighbor endured because Dairy Queen didn’t have Buster Bars. But, again, it’s okay.

If you haven’t joined those of us turning away from the news this month, it’s not too late. You can still enjoy 26 days of bliss if you start today. Just do it.

If you procrastinate on this, it will be over before you know it. With Thanksgiving coming, do yourself a favor and turn it all off now. This is a time for family and friends. This is a time for empathy for those suffering. It’s a time for patience with your loved ones. It’s a time for giving thanks, not criticism. A time for love, not hate. A time to forgive.

One of the notable occasions of the week was the open meeting last evening as planned by the library board. The high school orchestra furnished an excellent prelude to the program.

2021 Fall Hendricks County Property Tax Payment Information The 2021 fall property taxes are due on November 10, 2021.

To save tax dollars, both the Spring and Fall coupons were mailed in the same envelope in the spring. You will not receive a second statement for the Fall coupon in the mail.

This is a reminder the tax statements have a new format. The new form no longer has the “Tax ID” number. Instead, please use the “Duplicate” number found at the top of your statement when referencing your parcel for payment.

If you own property in more than one county, please make sure you pay the correct county by checking the top left portion of your coupon when submitting payment, to avoid delaying payment to the correct county.

There is often a lot of confusion when a property is sold about who is responsible for the property taxes. This is an agreement made between the buyer and seller, and the Treasurer is not a party to nor has knowledge of your agreement. If you have questions or concerns regarding the responsibility of your taxes we suggest contacting the title company where you had your closing or your realtor.

Operating hours for conducting business in the Treasurer’s office are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 pm. We will have extended hours on the due date, Wednesday November 10th from 8 a.m.–6 p.m.

Payment may also be made at the following Hendricks County banks: First Merchants Bank, First National, Hendricks County Bank and Trust, North Salem State Bank and State Bank (formerly known as State Bank of Lizton). Payments are not posted until they are received by the Hendricks County Treasurer. You must present your current tax statement coupon at the bank along with your payment. The bank is unable to accept any prior years’ tax payments. Please come in or call the office to obtain the correct amount of a past due payment.

If mailing your tax payment remember that it is considered on time if postmarked by the US Postal Service on or before November 10, 2021. If there is any question about whether a payment will have a timely postmark, we encourage you to obtain a certificate of mailing from the post office.

WE NO LONGER HAVE A P.O. BOX NUMBER. Payments should be mailed directly to the Hendricks County Treasurer, 355 South Washington Street, #240, Danville, IN 46122.

For electronic payment options, please go to www.co.hendricks.in.us. The county is prohibited by law to pay the credit card fees. Therefore, they will be added to your purchase if you choose to use that option.

Our night deposit box is located on the south side of the Government Center in Danville by the south entrance doors. Payments may be deposited in this box at any time prior to midnight on November 10, 2021 and will be considered on time. Please enclose your payment and bill coupon in an envelope when using the night deposit box.

For questions about the payment of your taxes, please call the Treasurer’s Office at 317-745-9220 or email the Treasurer’s Office at treasurerdept@co.hendricks.in.us ______________________________________________________________________

NSSB Officer Elected Director of FHLBI

The Republican

Hendricks County

A dedicated community leader and financial expert has been elected to the prestigious position of Director, Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLBI).

Sherri L. Reagin, Chief Financial Officer, The North Salem State Bank, has been elected by the SHERRI L. REAGIN FHLBI membership to serve a four-year term beginning January 1, 2022.

Reagin joins the Board who governs the FHLBI, currently comprised of 17 member directors and independent directors from Indiana and Michigan. The Board is responsible for FHLBI’s overall management and oversight pursuant to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act. Serving as a Director for the Federal Home Loan Bank is a natural fit for this proven leader who brings small town values, financial expertise, and a heart for service.

The Northern Indiana native learned the value of service as a 4-H member and active community volunteer.

Her passion for engaged involvement continued during her years at Indiana University where she earned an HR and Management degree. Reagin also earned a CPA degree and holds a Certificate of Executive Leadership from the Graduate School of Banking in Madison, Wisconsin.

“Throughout my career in public accounting and bank leadership, I’ve seen first-hand the importance of community engagement,” Reagin says. “I’m honored to be elected to serve on this board that guides service to our members with a cooperative mindset.”

In addition to this volunteer directorship, Reagin serves at the national, state and local level. In the banking arena, she is the Investment Officer and an active Board Member of NSSB Investments, Inc. She is active on the U.S. Coin Task Force, a group of 24 experts selected by the Federal Reserve to address the coin circulation issue created by the pandemic. Reagin is a member of the Independent Community Bankers of America Payments and Operations Committee while also providing expertise for the FedNow Pilot Program and the U.S. Faster Payment Council. She is also active in service to families through a variety of community groups in Hendricks County. ______________________________________________

Plainfield Library to Close for Structural Repairs

The Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library will begin construction in November to repair and replace failed ceiling joists. Structural supports have been in place since March.

Library Director Montie Manning said construction is expected to begin November 3, with an anticipated project completion before the holidays in December. “I’m just looking forward to having the library back to normal and am excited to once again work with our partners at krM Architects and S&B Construction to make that happen.”

Structural engineers determined that two ceiling joists near the main Information Desk failed and partially collapsed due to heavy snow loads at the end of February.

“The collapse occurred overnight and was only partial,” said Manning, “it could have been much worse and most importantly no one was hurt.”

The insurance claims process was completed in early summer with the construction bid being awarded in July to S&B Construction. Manufacturing lead times and construction materials procurement have been an issue during the pandemic resulting in minor delays.

The building is expected to be closed to the public for safety reasons from Monday, November 22, through Friday, December 3, during the more substantial phases of the construction when heavy steel trusses will be lifted overhead by crane and installed.

Taking advantage of the closure, the library will also upgrade servers, data lines, and network switches, which may affect wi-fi and phone service. Moreover, Evergreen Indiana will undergo a major upgrade over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. This may affect digital services such as hoopla, Kanopy, and Overdrive. Library staff will focus on training opportunities and special projects while the building is closed to the public.

Despite the closure, the Library plans to continue offering some services such as PGTPL-To-Go for curbside delivery of items. Other services such as reference, reader’s advisory, printing, and faxing can be done through email at AskUs@plainfieldlibrary.net, chat service, and phone.

Virtual programs will be offered through Facebook. Library materials will not be due during the closure.

Unfortunately, the Library will not have public access to computers during the closure. However, our public wi-fi can be accessed from the parking lot twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Due to construction, the Friends of the Library December book sale has been rescheduled to Wednesday, December 8 through Sunday, December 12.

For construction updates and to keep track of progress throughout the project, check the library website (www. plainfieldlibrary.net) and follow the library on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. _____________________________________________

Plainfield Lions Club Offers 5K Walk/Run at Christmas For the Homeless Free Vision Screening for Kids Sodalis Park A free-will offering

Plainfield Lions members Worth Donaldson, Tom Iles, and Bob Savage during a vision screening for a child.

Free vision screenings were provided by the Plainfield Lions Club at several preschools throughout Hendricks county during the month of October.

More than 12 million school-age children in the United States have some form of a vision problem, yet only one in three have received eye care services before age six.

Many vision problems run the risk of becoming permanent if not corrected by age seven, when the eye. reaches full maturity. Vision also plays an important role in education.

According to educational experts, 80 percent of learning is visual.

President for the Plainfield Lions, Tom Iles oversees the local screenings that use photography technology and are part of a nationwide initiative developed by KidSight to protect the eye health of children. “Six months through 6 years is our target age, but we will do it for anyone who asks, said Tom. The Plainfield Lions uses a PlusOptix screening camera. Using infrared light, the camera can detect problems such as astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness, lazy eye and other eye imbalances in as little as 5 seconds.

Children need only to sit in a small chair and look at the camera’s smiley face while a Lions member operates the machine’s camera.

The Plainfield Lions screened 309 children at 8 preschools in Plainfield, Clayton, Avon and Danville. 21 children received a recommendation for further evaluation performed by a professional eye examiner, such as an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. Each participating child also received the opportunity to choose their own free, age appropriate book to keep and read.

“Early screening leads to early detection, which helps ensure that children get the follow-up care they need. We want to make sure that correctable vision problems don’t stand in the way of our children learning and seeing the world clearly.“ said Tom. This service is offered free of charge by the Plainfield Lions under the Indiana Lions KidSight vision screening program. To request a group screening or to learn more about the Plainfield Lions please contact Tom Iles at 317600-5193. ______________________________________________

Brownsburg Parks Looking for Weed Wrangler Volunteers

The Weed Wrangle® is part of a national effort to remove invasive plants from public spaces. State and community experts including Southern Indiana Cooperative Invasive Management and Hendricks County Invasive Management Cooperative will supervise the removal of trees, vines, and flowering plants while volunteers learn ways to address their own green spaces to combat invasive species.

“It’s important for us to preserve our natural resources,” said Brownsburg Parks’ Natural Resources Supervisor Joe Sakhong. “Invasive plants like these threaten native plants and eliminate food and cover for wildlife.”

Interested volunteers must be comfortable using cutting tools such as hedge shears, hand pruners, loppers, and pruning saws. Volunteers ages 13-17 must be accompanied by an adult. All volunteers are encouraged to bring work gloves; Brownsburg Parks will provide all other safety gear. To volunteer, visit brownsburgparks.com/volunteer.

Are You Prepared?

This group is. Who are they? They are the Hendricks County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (HCARES).

HCARES is a tgrou of trained “ham” radio operators sanctioned bythe American Radio Relay League (ARRL). They are prepared to respond to any disaster or emergency when called upon by Hendricks County Emergency Management to provide communication when phones and other types of communications are down or not operating.

When needed, HCARES can communicate with each other and pass any messages for Fire, Sheriff, Hospital or Health Department officials. They have practiced in Simulated Emergency Tests (often with the above-mentioned groups) and have proven that they can cover ALL of Hendricks County (and surrounding counties) with any communication needs.

Even if the radio repeater antennas are damaged, they can still communicate with each other - and be deployed with any of the agencies mentioned with the useof Portable Integrated Gear(PIGs). This portable equipment is battery operataed or may us an available electrical source.

The gear is automatically programmed to “crosstalk” between UHF and VHF. The gear has a common UHF channel and thus is is constant “communication.” This allows ARES hams to call in on their desiganted channels. There are four antennas located around Hendricks County ready for the PIGs to connect to. HCARES also has radios in Hendricks Regional Health (Danville) and IU West, and an antenna at the fairgrounds (for the health department).

To further enhance communication capabilities HCARES has jest completed an UHG radio repeater antenna station in Danville. And if all else fails (everything goes to Hades in the proverbial handbasket) they can get in personal vehicles and communicate with mobile or handheld units.

They are prepared!

HCARES also offers classes to guide persons to get their FCC-issued Ham radio licenses and call letters. Any interested person may obtain more information by contacting: Ken Kayler at kc9sqd@gmail.com. ______________________________________________

Your Mental Health

By Chase Cotton, Community Director, The Willow Center 317-852-3690

Resilience – What It Is and What It Isn’t Oxford dictionaries define the word resilience as, “the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.”

This definition seems well enough on a surface-level reading. However, when the word is considered in the context of our mental health, we must consider what resilience is and what resilience is not.

Those of us who are over the age of 40 may remember resilience as being drilled into our psyche by way of the “pick yourself up by your bootstraps” message that was so popular a few decades ago, and still lingers today. Unfortunately, this message has a subtle way of dehumanizing and decontextualizing those on the receiving end of it, which can lead to problematic outcomes in one’s life.

Resilience is much more complex than simply dusting yourself off after a painful situation.

There are three important items to consider as we think about resilience within this popular “bootstraps” message.

1) Not everybody has boots in the first place. For example, it is much more difficult for a single mom working two jobs that both require transportation to pick herself up and move on after a major financial setback such as a car breakdown than it is for a middle class married partner with reliable transportation and a stable income from a single salaried job.

2) We all may need help putting our boots on from time to time. Being an adult in the year of 2021 is no joke.

Stress and labor burnout are at an all time high, which may be correlated to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use across the board. The saying “pick yourself up…” implies that you are expected to have the strength to do so. But, sometimes we need help! Whether it’s mental health counseling, or it’s a night off from watching the kiddos – there is no shame in asking for and needing help.

3) Your boots may need to be replaced. Maybe the reason you are going through this painful experience right now is because your boots are worn out or don’t fit well.

For example, we each cope with stress in healthy and unhealthy ways. Perhaps the unhealthy coping mechanisms we develop like over-eating, drinking too much, smoking, or numbing ourselves from processing our feelings are the ill-fitting boots. New boots, or new healthier coping mechanisms, are a much better way to “pick yourself up” and to keep yourself up.

I think it’s time we redefine resilience. It is so much more than just picking yourself up by your bootstraps! Resilience is taking good care of yourself, and taking care of each other. Resilience is knowing your own warning signs when things are getting difficult. Resilience is reaching out for help when needed. Resilience is a fresh start and a positive attitude. If we define resilience this way, we just may find that it’s been a part of us all along. ______________________________________________

Notable Women of Hendricks County Ruth E. Gentry was born on a farm near Stilesville in 1862, youngest daughter of Jeremiah and Lucretia Gentry.

Ruth received her early education in the public schools of that town, a start that led her to become the first woman born in Indiana to receive a doctoral degree in Mathematics.

Graduating from Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute in 1880, she taught for three years, saving her money to continue her education. She enrolled in the University of Michigan, receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in 1890, along with a scholarship to any college she chose. She selected Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania.

In 1894, Gentry was received her Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics, with her Minors in Physics and Applied Mathematics. Her thesis, “On the Forms of Plane Quartic Curves,” was printed in 1896.

She became one of the first women admitted to the American Mathematical Society. She was appointed Head of Mathematics at Vassar College in New York, where she was the first mathematics faculty member with a Ph.D. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 1900.

She died of breast cancer on October 18, 1917, at Methodist hospital. The funeral took place at the home of her nephew, Emory Gentry, in Indianapolis. She was buried in the family plot at the Stilesville cemetery. ______________________________________________

MASTERING THE HOUSE

Memories of Past Times Lucille Stamper (1927-1915), did something more of us should do. She took time to write down her memories for her grandchildren and friends. Some of these articles were published in the Indianapolis Star in a column in called “A View from Home” and some articles were also included in the Reminisce magazine.

While going through some of the files in The Republican office, we found an envelope with a few of Lucille’s stories. The article following is one of her memory treasures.

The Apron Story

What do you remember about an apron that your mother or grandmother wore? My memory tells me that it was a large coverall type apron made out of pretty flowered cotton material and trimmed with bias tape and maybe rick-rack.. It did cover the whole dress underneath and tied or buttoned jn the back An apron had many uses.

Mother used it as a basket when she gathered the eggs or carried in a few tomatoes from the garden. She also filled her apron basket with shelled com and carried it to the chicken yard to feed the chickens. That same apron was also used by her to shoo the chickens out of the garden; she’d run out and flap the skirt of her apron to scare the chickens away.

If Mother was out walking around in the little fruit orchard she might pick up some ripe apples or pears that had fallen to the ground and carry them into the kitchen in her apron basket. They might be bruised but they would still have a few good bites in them. Late in the afternoon when Mother would go to the wood pile to get some kindling and small pieces of wood to start the morning fire in the kitchen cookstove, she would carry them into the house in her apron basket. That same apron was also often used as a holder for removing hot pans from that cookstove.

That soft apron was also used often in the summertime in the hot kitchen to wipe the perspiration from Mother’s brow and even wipe her nose in an emergency. Tears from a grandchild were often wiped away gently with that apron and behind it was a good hiding place if the shy grandchild needed such a place when the preacher came calling.

When the men on the farm were out working in the fields, they could be called in to the noon meal by the waving of an apron, if they weren’t too far from the house.

That same apron was also used to shoo the pesky flies away from the dinner table when the men sat down to eat, and in the afternoon when Mother sat down in the porch swing for a moment of rest, she would put the apron up across her arms and shoulders to keep her from getting chilled by the cool breeze.

In the event of a surprise visitor coming up the front walk, Mother used her apron skirt as a dust cloth, and if she had time before that visitor got to the door, she would take off that apron and grab a clean one that was hanging on the back of the kitchen door, fluff up her hair with her fingers, and greet that visitor with all the charm of a farm housewife.

At the end of the day that apron of many uses had one more place to go; when Mother took it off at the end of her busy day, she would use it to cover up the birdcage where our canary named Oscar was sitting on his perch. What a day! What a unique piece of clothing!

A Note From Bee My husband and I have gone to about 25 Road Scholar programs through the years. We have also taken our three grandsons to intergenerational programs. Road Scholar programs are outstanding.

Road Scholar has come up with something new that we are very interested in. They are one hour online lectures given by expert instructors. The lectures are very affordable, $25. If we went to the movies we would probably pay this much or more. So far we have watched The Building of the Golden Gate Bridge, The Gold Rush in the Klondike, Migration of Butterflies, and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. We have signed up for two more about Churchill and Songs of the North and South. Longer online programs are also available. Of course they are a lot more expensive. We are considering watching some of these this winter. I have trouble walking and these programs are especially appealing to me.

All the lectures have been outstanding but the Herb Alpert lecture so far has been our favorite. We learned so much about him. He is not Hispanic but Jewish. His first big hit was in 1963, The Lonely Bull, which made him and his partner millionaires. Even though he is 86, he can still play the trumpet. He just released a new album in September Catch the Wind. In addition to his musical talent he has also become a well known sculptor.

Road Scholar is a great way to keep learning.

useful tips for homeowners

Fire Safety Each Fall in Indiana we move our clocks back for daylight savings time. As we perform this task, we are reminded to check our smoke detectors to make sure they are functioning properly. Most home fires happen in the months of December and January. According to the State’s web site, 74 Hoosiers lost their lives because of residential fires in 2020. Today’s building codes require new homes to have an interconnected smoke alarm system. This means when one detector sounds, they all begin sounding. As you check your detectors here are a few other facts you may want to consider.

Location: Today’s standard is to have a smoke detector in every bedroom, outside of each sleeping area (such as the hallway), and on every level of the home including the basement. You should not install detectors directly in the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Also, they should be a distance from windows, doors, or ducts where drafts might interfere with their operation. Place them on the ceiling or within 12 inches of the ceiling on the wall. In multi-level homes the smoke detector should be placed on the ceiling at the bottom of the stairs leading to the next level.

Type: There are two types of smoke alarms – ionization and photoelectric. An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires, and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization-photoelectric alarms, also know as dual sensor smoke alarms, are recommended.

Design Life: We are told a smoke detector has a design life of 8 to 10 years. If your alarms have been in the home for an extended time their sensors begin to lose sensitivity.

The test button only confirms the battery is still good, it does not test the sensors. You would need an aerosol can of smoke simulating smoke from a fire to do this. Consumer Reports recommends replacing the detector if it is older than 10 years.

Carbon Monoxide (CO): CO poisoning yields 1,200 deaths and 50,000 ER visits annually in the United States.

The standard smoke detector does not warn against CO gases. They do make dual detectors now serving for both smoke and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and typically associated with warm air, so it will rise. They should be at least 5 feet off the ground but not right next to or over a fireplace or flame-producing appliance.

Let us be smart about the use of extension cords, portable heaters and candles this winter. Make sure you have a clean chimney and proper guards for the fireplace. These cause of most residential fires during the winter months.

Prevention is always better than detection, but detection saves lives. _____________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “My compliments to the students on their Halloween stories in last week’s paper,” Archy said. “It’s good to see young imaginations at work. I wonder if they were made aware that their opening sentence, ‘One dark and stormy Halloween night...’ was a parody of one written in 1830?”

I agreed the Danville South Elementary students had fun with the assignment and hoped that the teacher had given them some information on the opener’s history.

“With our genetic memory, young squirrels acquire their cultural literacy sooner than humans,” Archy mused.

“It must be difficult for humans to start tabula rasa fashion.

How do you do it?”

“You have to begin with literacy,” I ventured a guess.

“Then exposure to cultural history in a variety of ways.

School plays a part, but I think I gathered more from reading books on my own, and old movies. It’s funny, it seems I’ve known about Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s ‘dark and stormy night’ line as long as I can remember. Of course, I grew up with Charles Shultz’s Peanuts cartoons, and Snoopy’s use of that literary chestnut.”

The squirrel smiled. “One of my favorites as well,” he said. “In fact, Warner Brothers cartoons were ripe with cultural references - Hungarian Rhaposdy from Tom and Jerry, Wagner opera from Elmer Fudd.” Archy paused while he recalled the 1957 cartoon. “What’s Opera, Doc? indeed!” he laughed.

I said that cultural literacy, whatever the source, is key to a shared experience that can be a shortcut to understanding. ‘It was a dark and stormy night...’ might be purple prose, but still has meaning today.”

Archy grinned, “Indeed. You might say it was best of lines, it was the worst of lines.” _____________________________________________

How to Keep Cannas Through the WInter

Hunting Tips & Reflections

By Mike E. Neilson

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

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

4. Remove soil from rhizomes (dirt holds moisture).

Some folks spray with water to help with soil removal, then let rhizomes dry (cure)- maybe as long as two weeks.

5. Dust with antifungal product. Wrap each one in newspaper, place in carboard box or garbage can with lid off, in a cool, dry place (a garage or basement).

When over-wintering cannas, check the rhizomes every month or so and remove any that have start to rot.

Remember it’s time to dig your cannas after the frost has killed back the foliage.

The canna lily is a rhizomatous perennial (not a bulb) with tropical-like foliage and large flowers that resemble an iris flower. Left in the ground, the rhizome freezes = end of plant. So, you must dig the rhizome Remember it’s time to dig your cannas after the frost has killed back the foliage. The canna lily is a rhizomatous perennial (not a bulb) with tropical-like foliage and large flowers that resemble an iris flower. Left in the ground, the rhizome freezes = end of plant. So, you must dig the rhizomes, store the cannas where they will not freeze to be able to enjoy next year.

Storing cannas is simple and easy.

1. Wait until the frost has killed back the foliage.

2. Cut back the foliage to 4 to 6 inches, to be able to see base of the plant 3. Dig several inches away from stem as cannas form new rhizomes.

Options After curing, you may put new peat moss or cedar shavings on bottom of container—then layer rhizomes with moss or shavings.

I have seen cannas just stored in a garbage can in cool place do fine. You could experiment with different storage just don’t let them freeze.

As you are digging them up, you will be amazed how many rhizomes you get from the one plant. You can share the canna bounty next gardening year Someone has been adding soil to my garden. The plot thickens.

A Bark From the Past: Henry

JUST AN OBSERVATION

[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.]

My world has become a little bit darker. I found out that my beloved Sunshine has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. ol She got really, really sick and felt very bad. She wasn’t going to get better, so her vet helped her to cross the bridge. And that was just the right thing to do. If humans could understand what dogs say, we could tell them that we are a proud breed. Dogs want to keep up appearances, and by the time our humans can tell that we are ill, we are very ill. The best thing they can do for us is to help us cross the bridge with some dignity. I know that my humans will do that for me when the time comes.

I also lost my older sister Annie not long ago. She crossed over in her sleep.

Losing these two beautiful females who were both so important to me started me thinking. We will all cross the Rainbow Bridge someday. But what are we crossing to?

What will we find on the other side?

I think there must be a big field there, with lots of room to run, soft grass to lie in and clear pools of water to drink.

All kinds of animals will be there, living together in peace, and kind humans, too. Oh, and lots of kibble! Mountains of kibble! That’s how I see the place that the Rainbow Bridge Goes To. I asked a few of my buddies what they thought was on the other side.

Emmett, the Shepherd, thought that there would be lots of squirrels to chase and clean paths to walk.

Cookie, The Republican’s cat, said there would be shallow pools of fish to snatch and endless saucers of milk, with an occasional bowl of Frank’s spaghetti sauce. And a pillow for naps every few yards, so you could sack out whenever you wanted.

Lucky, the Westie, thought that there wouldn’t be any skunks there, but his older sister Cotton would be there, and he was looking forward to playing with her.

Hunter, the beagle, said that there would be rabbits to track and moles to dig up.

My sister Sadie wants there to be lots of rocks that are just the right size to carry around. So many different ideas!

I think I have figured out the way it really is. What is on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge is whatever we want to be there for us! Running room for me, squirrels for Emmett, pillows for Cookie, anything that anyone wants! And if that’s right, I will at last meet my beautiful Sunshine!

Now, don’t misunderstand. I don’t want to cross the bridge any sooner than I absolutely have to. Sunshine is already there, and she will still be there when I get there, too. Just thinking about that makes me a lot less afraid of crossing. And that makes me feel better about everything else!

Thought for the Day: “I don’t know if this Heaven business is true, but if it is, I intend to spend a good deal of the first million years painting.”—Winston Churchill. ______________________________________________ Dogs never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.

BASEBALL

By Janet Beam With the World Series in the news right now, baseball has been talked about a lot lately. As for me, if the Yankees are not playing, I really don’t care who wins but I do enjoy watching baseball. Now basketball is a different matter altogether. Basketball is just a bunch of grown men running from one end of the court to the other, usually making a basket along the way.

But give me a good old baseball game any time. My brother and I played baseball with the neighbor kids during the summer and put together a baseball diamond in our empty lot. First base was a telephone pole. I was always the pitcher; that way I didn’t have to chase the ball (there was a method to my madness). I was doing fine until I got hit by a line drive right to the stomach. From then on, I tended to jump back after each pitch.

But my real fondness probably stems from the Saturdays when my dad and I would watch a baseball game on TV, usually the Yankees. This was in the days of Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Gil McDougald and Tony Kubek, with Casey Stengel as manager followed by Ralph Houk. My dad would be in his recliner with a beer and I would be on the couch with an ice cold Coke and a bag of potato chips. Do kids even do that anymore? Do they sit in the same room with their parents and enjoy something on TV suitable for everyone? If they don’t, they are truly missing a blessing.

On a lazy afternoon, I still like to lay on the couch with the soft sportscaster’s voice giving a play-by-play. It takes me back to the afternoons with my dad.

Just an observation. _____________________________________________

(This piece contains puns, sarcasm, parody and really, really bad humor. If you are looking for deep-hidden knowledge or pearls of wisdom, please read another article.)

As much as I’d love to talk about the Mrs., I’m actually writing about missing an animal while I’m out hunting.

It happens to almost everybody who goes out hunting or fishing. You have a perfect opportunity to bag that big 12-point buck, or haul in that 7-pound bass or triple bearded 25-pound turkey and then you flat out blow the shot or strike. It happens to the best and worst of us, except, you know, that one guy who always gets something when they go out and it’s always better than anybody else’s. You know the guy, the one that releases the state record fish so others can catch it or just never got the picture or mount to actually prove they did what they did. And then there’s the rest of us mere mortals that, try as we might, eventually wind up with a miss. There I typed the “M” word. Let’s look at the art of missing a bit closer, shall we?

I know I’ve had my share of epic failures over the seasons, and I just experienced one the other day. Climbing down from my deerstand, I was gathering up my gear and look up to see a doe perfectly broadside (and legal) munching on acorns 30 yards away. Up comes the crossbow (shoulder surgery in June and I’m still rehabbing). I ease the crossbow up, put the 50-yard pin right in the boiler room and touch off the trigger. The bolt streaks right over the back of the deer and it prances merrily away. In comes the five stages of missing.

The first stage is denial. NO WAY did I just miss that slam-dunk shot at that deer. It was right there; I mean right there! Nothing to inhibit the flight of the arrow, no distractions, nope, I couldn’t have missed. I heard a noise, but I bet that was after the arrow passed through the deer. Oh yeah, I was in complete surprise and shock that the deer didn’t drop. Come on, you (the deer) are supposed to fall over after 20 yards. Didn’t you read the script?

Stage two: anger. Stupid crossbow! If I had my compound bow this would never have happened. I bet there was some stupid limb or leaf that made my arrow fly too high. I can’t believe I didn’t use the right pin. I’m an idiot for thinking the deer was 50 yards away when it was really only 30 yards away. I’m such a terrible hunter, I don’t even know why I do this stupid sport. I put the treestand in the wrong stupid spot because I can’t scout deer properly.

Why didn’t I just take another second or two to compose myself and focus on the shot? And on, and on, and on.

I’m mad at everything, the deer, the squirrels, the weather, and of course, myself. Yep, gotta go vent some more, maybe scream at the television for a while.

The third step of missing is bargaining. Hey, maybe I did hit the deer, I’ll move up this trail a little farther.

Maybe it was standing a little off to this side, so I’ll search here as well. I bet if I just go a bit further, I’ll find the deer (even when it is clear there is no sign of a hit). Yep, if I just do this, I’ll see a dead deer soon. No amount of bargaining is going to bring that shot back but you just must try. Also, forget about divine intervention or making deals with the devil. If you miss, you miss.

The next stage is depression, a feeling I know all too well. I worked hard all summer to shoot this crossbow effectively. I slugged through the heat of late summer with a bad right shoulder to put up stands and all that effort resulted in a big fat miss. Heck, two weeks before that I took a farther shot and got a deer, why couldn’t I do that this time? I’m such a lousy hunter. I put the stand in the wrong place, I can’t shoot straight, I just stink at this whole hunting business. I might as well just take up golf or pickle ball. (No offense to my golfer and pickle baller friends.

I’m sure you sport takes a lot of skill as well.) Why do I spend all this money, time, and energy when I can’t connect? I am the Eeyore of the hunting world. Time to go back to bed.

And lastly, the final stage of missing: acceptance. Yes, you missed! You missed so bad, and the deer didn’t even have the decency to bolt for its life. Yep, that deer just hopped away like you were no threat at all. Face it pal, you shot high, lost your arrow, and lost the deer. Time to regroup, formulate another plan and hit it again. Nice try, but not good enough.

I have missed so many critters and opportunities, I can flow through the stages of missing fairly quickly as this is familiar territory for me. I might hang on to the anger part and revisit it a time or two walking out of the woods and driving home but the acceptance part helps me to focus on going out again and trying to not make the same mistake again.

How ever you handle the dreaded misses in any aspect of your life, I wish you the best of luck and perseverance in your chosen activity. Try to shrug off those misses quickly and look forward to the next opportunity! ______________________________________________

Plainfield’s Prewitt Theater Is Finding A New Purpose

The Prewitt Theatre has been an iconic building in the heart of downtown Plainfield since its opening in 1927. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson It’s been a long-time coming. The community of Plainfield has asked, fought and negotiated for several years for the saving of the Prewitt Theatre. The Prewitt Theatre opened in 1927, later named the Village Theatre until it closed in 2005.

Since then, it’s remained vacant and many in the community wondered what would become of the property, dear to the hearts of those that remember attending movies there, and those that appreciate and enjoy the history of the town.

The Plainfield Town Council approved a letter of intent from Keller Restaurant Group back in February and after months of planning and negotiations, Doug Huff, owner of Plainfield’s Oasis Diner and Patrick Keller, of CrestPoint Real Estate owner the Prewitt Theatre and the adjoining law-office building on U.S. 40.

“Our plan is to turn it into a restaurant, bar and entertainment venue. The menu will be upscale and trendy – a chef-driven menu. We want to use locally sourced products and the menu will change seasonally. We’ve already had interest from some high-end chefs and it’s going to be hard for us to choose the right person,” Huff said.

The dining experience, Keller said, will include exceptional food, drinks and a unique atmosphere.

They plan to keep the area flexible, with the stage remaining for live music, comedy shows and classic movies.

Multiple seating areas will include the theatre area, a bar area (in the old law office building), on the second floor, as well as dining on the rooftop.

Initially, rumors circulated about interior damage of the nearly 100-year-old building, but Huff, with his main line of business in the construction industry, wasn’t deterred.

Unique Offerings at New Brownsburg Clinic

Harmony is a women-owned business in Brownsburg, placing several wellness practices under one roof. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Imagine walking into your doctor’s office and telling the physician about every issue, from high blood pressure to anxiety and those pesky wrinkles that are bothering you.

Rosie Sandhu moved with her family to the United States from India in 1992 with the goal of

completing her masters and becoming a nurse practitioner. Throughout her 29 years in the healthcare industry, she began looking at options she wished she could offer and services she believed her patients could benefit from.

“I wanted to do something meaningful, different and good for the communi-

“I had heard some horror stories, but when Patrick brought it to my attention, we walked through it and I was very impressed with how structurally sound it was. I think what some people see as a big problem, I look at that stuff and see how it can be fixed. There wasn’t anything that scared me,” Huff said.

While some renovation will be underway by this winter, the two are determined to keep the memories and nostalgia within the structure of the building alive.

At one point, the theatre was called Village Theatre. The original name and canopy sign were restored when the building was acquired by the Town of Plainfield in 2018.

ty,” Sandhu said. “I started looking at combining wellness and health and beauty, all under one roof.”

At a chance meeting with Kamna Agarwal, an occupational therapist, certified yoga instructor and holistic wellness advocate, Sandhu shared her vision and for the first time, was met with intrigue and excitement.

The two partnered to open the Harmony Primary Care and Wellness Clinic to offer everything from wellness physicals, chronic or new disease management, immunizations, a variety of yoga classes and aesthetic treatments such as Botox, chemical peels, micro needling and more.

“I believe you have to meet halfway with modern medicine. If someone has high blood pressure, you may have to take a pill to get that under control, but

“Most of the changes will be cosmetic. We plan to have a memorabilia room so people can see and reminisce on what it used to be. I think it will seem a lot nicer than they remember, but also familiar. At the same time, a younger generation will feel the modern version. I think it’ll be a good mesh of both the old and new,” Keller said.

This isn’t the first time the two men have taken an old building and created something spectacular.

Keller has experience redeveloping several older buildings in the downtown Plainfield area, though the restaurant portion will be new for him.

Huff, brought the 1954 Oasis diner to downtown Plainfield, renovated the diner to look much like it did back in the 50’s and opened in 2014. Today, Oasis is one of five historical diners on US 40 and has received many accolades and recognition for everything from the history of the building to one of the best tenderloins in the state.

“Oasis sat empty for so many years, people were worried it was going to be torn down. We were able to salvage this and people have ownership in it because they were a part of the process and it’s a part of the community,” Huff said. “It’s really a similar thing with the Prewitt; to be a part of both of these projects is really cool. People feel ownership of the Prewitt because it’s been a part of their history for so long.”

Not only will the Prewitt offer a unique dining and entertainment experience, but the renovation will also compliment the upcoming projects already in development for the town.

“We will complement the new Performing and Fine Arts Center (approved in April of 2021). Visitors can dine with us and then go to a show or the other way around,” Keller said.

The Town of Plainfield has completed The Barlow, a mixed-use project, including a 250-space parking structure and a new Government Center is planned along with the construction of the Performing and Fine Arts Center – all along US 40.

“I think it’s important to have the town support, it’s been awesome,” Keller said. “The town government has worked with us for a long time to make this happen and we hope to continue to have that support, with friendly traffic patterns, parking etc. As Plainfield continues to develop, we want people to come here and stay here. We all need to work together for everyone to enjoy our thing as well as the next thing.”

For now, Keller and Huff are consulting with people in the dining industry, music industry and film industry, preparing to create a flexible environment that guests will enjoy.

“We believe that in these times, you have to have something pretty unique to draw people in to check it out and we believe we can do that right here,” Keller said.

Keller and Huff hope to open the new Prewitt by summer of 2022. The other buildings under construction should be completed by the end of 2022 or early 2023.

The new owners invite the public to join them on the journey to renovating and restoring the beloved building through their Facebook page at The Prewitt. They’ll be posting regular updates and information throughout the process.

ROSIE SANDHU

KAMNA AGARWAL

when you combine a variety of components, maybe we can get to the root of the problem and find a solution,” Sandhu said. “There are so many other things that can be done as opposed to giving a patient a pill.”

For example, Sandhu has been practicing yoga for the past several years and has found the exercise helpful for anxiety, meditation and more.

Current yoga classes include fundamentals, gentle vinyasa, hot yoga, candlelight flow, power flow, yin yoga and personal strength training sessions.

How does the MedSpa portion fold into her plan?

“If you’re not happy with your skin and it’s affecting your life, you can do as much yoga as you want to, but it won’t change

something aesthetic,” Sandhu said. “For example, if you have acne, wrinkles or scarring, it can eventually impact your inner beauty and health too. So, I say whatever is going to make you happy, particularly women. If they aren’t happy with the way they look, we want to incorporate ways to build confidence as well.”

Sandhu has spaced appointments an hour apart because she wants to take the time to truly get to know her patients.

“I’ve found in my experience, many doctors treat you like a number. They are in a hurry, but my goal is to spend a little more time.

I don’t ever want to rush anyone, and I can comfortably talk about all the practices in our office. We want

to help in not just one area, but a multitude of things.

If you need a mammogram or blood work or to find a psychiatrist, I can make the appropriate referrals if needed,” Sandhu said.

The women-owned clinic plans to add services in the future.

Sandhu said they will soon launch Ayurveda; a 5,000-year-old practice originating in India that looks at the body as a whole from the inside out, as opposed to the outside in, with the goal of connecting to the entire body.

They also hope to add a dietitian to the mix, providing nutritional counseling and aiding patients in weight loss or medical plans such as diabetes.

The Harmony doors opened on Sept. 8 and operating hours will be extended as of Nov. 1. Primary care is by appointment or walk-in at this time, appointments are made for aesthetic services, and a calendar of yoga classes is available online.

Harmony Primary Care and Wellness Clinic is located at 640 Patrick Place, Suite B, in Brownsburg.

HSO Celebrates Beethoven

The Hendricks Symphony Orchestra is finally celebrating Beethoven’s 250th birthday, slightly delayed thanks to a certain pandemic that shut down most of 2020.

Benjamin Del Vecchio directs, with Amy Eggleston on piano. Performances are Friday, November 5th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, November 7, at 3 p.m. at Calvary United Methodist Church in Brownsburg.

The first half of the concert features Leonore Overture No. 3, Opus 72a and Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major. The overture to the opera of the same name, but later renamed Fidelio, contains a gentle beginning which builds to a full orchestra. Throughout the piece the instruments vary from quick and light to strong and forceful until it finishes with a dramatic roll of the timpani.

The Symphony welcomes back Amy Eggleston as the featured pianist for the Emperor Concerto, so named for its military feel, not for any love Beethoven might have felt toward the French Emperor (he despised Napoleon).

He composed the concerto in 1809 and dedicated it to the Archduke Rudolf, his patron, friend, and student.

With an opening chord from the orchestra, the piano takes over at an allegro pace. This first movement is in sonata form, so the audience will hear the exposition of the theme, its development, and the recapitulation before moving on to the adagio of the second movement, which at times is hushed and sad as strings and piano respond to one another. With no break, a simple sustained note played by the horn transitions to the third movement, a rondo, in this case, ABACABA. The piano enters with the principal andante theme. Suddenly, it crashes into an allegro tempo, and it’s a race to the finish as the principal theme alternates with the contrasting themes of the rondo.

The Emperor was Beethoven’s final piano concerto.

His hearing had failed drastically, and he could no longer play with an orchestra. For a virtuoso like Beethoven, the decision must have broken his heart.

Symphony No. 5 in c minor, Opus 67 stars in the second half of the concert. It became known as the “Victory” Symphony during World War II, with V being the Roman numeral 5 and the two-fingered V as the Allies’ sign for Victory. Regardless of its titles, the drama and emotion of Beethoven’s Fifth has enchanted audiences all over the world for over two hundred years.

Of course, listeners will recognize the famous motif of dit-dit-dit-dah of the first movement. The Germans nicknamed it the “Schicksal-motiv” (The Fate Motif) and the entire symphony the “Schicksal-Sinfonia,” (The Fate Symphony).

The second movement slows to an andante as three themes alternate. For the third movement, Beethoven chose a fast scherzo instead of the more traditional minuet. The fourth movement increases in speed as he starts with an allegro tempo and moves to presto (hold onto your hats!). According to standards of the time, the fourth movement should have been in c minor to complement the opening, but he chose a victorious C Major. His quote: “There must be sunshine after rain.” Listeners will understand his choice as the symphony closes…and closes… and closes…for 29 measures of triumph.

Way Maker Home Sets Sights on Growth

The men at Way Maker have regular meals together, furthering the bond and support between them. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson It’s been nearly a year since Cindy Whyde and her team opened their doors to the men’s sober-living home, Way Maker in Plainfield.

Whyde has seen the men come and go; some stay for a month or two and then step out on their own to experience success or failure. Others have remained at the house for up to seven months, gaining month upon month of sobriety and strengthening their lives and relationships with others.

“It’s the nature of addiction,” Whyde said. “Even the men that have left keep in touch. Some have relapsed and gone back into treatment, but several are truly working through the program. We’ve had numerous men come to Christ or back to Christ and several baptisms.”

They’ve seen a stream of regular applications come through and typically have a full house. The men work through a 12-step program, counseling, participate in classes ranging from financial security to relationship reconciliation, work to secure employment and all attend church.

Whyde’s goal was to heal the entire person and help the men step out in independence; educated, strong and with a spiritual and physical support system to help in their recovery.

Local churches have stepped in, donating time and funds toward the mission and the men often join Bible studies and other community groups to enhance their healing.

“They continue to do things to help build themselves up and it’s been super cool to watch,” Whyde said. “We’ve seen reconciliation with families, men slowly gain relationships with their children and even heard praise and encouragement from the justice system. It gives the men a sense of pride when judges and probation officers are so happy for them and setting them up to be role models for others in their situation,” Whyde continued. “This is a solid group of guys and God is so good. This is what we wanted to do.”

As the kinks have been worked out and the men’s program is running smoothly, Whyde has felt a calling to expand her work.

“So many people have called for a women’s residence.

The need is there,” Whyde said. “It’s my belief we need to be able to do this for women as well. Many women choose not to get help for fear of losing their children, so this will need to be a little different. I want to have a little more space for a women’s residence with children as well as those expecting children.”

Whyde said there are few options available for women and she hopes to visit a couple in the state and surrounding area before finalizing her plan, but for now, she’s imagining a need for property, in which to build an appropriate space for the women.

“I spend a lot of time praying about what this looks like,” Whyde said. “I want it to be a home just like what the guys have. They take ownership of it; they cook meals together and it feels like a home to them.”

She also wants to avoid a property within a neighborhood and have plenty of parking for multiple cars. The better the living situation, the more the women can focus on their recovery instead of outside influences.

Cindy Whyde (center), family and friends opened Way Maker in Feb. of 2021. ___________________________________________________

On the big list of needs, Whyde says fundraising for a women’s property (whether acres to build on or an existing property within the county), a small vehicle for job interviews or court hearings (they currently have a 15-passenger van for large outings), a driveway that is in desperate need of repaving and additional partnerships within the community.

On the small list, is groceries, water softener salt, paper products and volunteers.

“If we could find a couple of volunteers who are willing to drive the men to doctors appointments or court dates that would be really helpful. Many people have the urge to do something, but they just don’t know what it is, so we might have just the thing for you,” Whyde said.

For a full list of day-to-day needs or to donate, visit the Way Maker website at http://waymakerinc.org. ______________________________________________

The northwest corner of the court house square is taking a new shape as work on the new building that will house Fast Track Physical Therapy progresses.

In the mid-19th century the east half of the block contained a two-story frame building and was called White Corner. One early resident described it as the place where “the men and boys of the town met there, morning, noon and night” to talk of baseball and other matters of importance. Members of the A.M.E. church hosted Christmas dances there.

In 1890, that frame building was replace by a two-story brick building that housed The County Fair, the county’s largest department store. The building changed hands several times, becoming the home of the Baker & Son Hardware Store. In 1935, fire destroyed the upper story.

Celebrating 65th Anniversary

Got News?

John and Sonn Mitchell on their wedding day in 1965.

John and Sandra “Sonn” Mitchell will be celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. They were married on November 5, 1965, in Bucktown, Sullivan County, Indiana.

Week two of the Sectional championship’s arrived in a monsoon as the Danville Warriors made their way 38 miles south and east to take on the Braves of Indian Creek.

With heavy rain most of the day and well into the evening, the team colors of Danville (wearing their road game white jerseys) would change throughout the game. Another mud bowl for the Warriors but they would not let that deter them from taking one more step toward another Sectional Championship.

Danville took early command of the game and never let up. Senior BJ Wuest set the tone, literally out of the gate, when he returned the opening kick off 85 yards for the touchdown and a 7-0 lead just 14 seconds into the game.

After several defensive stops by Danville and then touchdowns by Andrew Poppa, another by BJ Wuest, and Cayden Madding, the Warriors took a 31-0 lead into the halftime locker room.

In the second half, Danville put the offense on cruise control and coasted to the end of the game. Teke Tanksley would get into the action for the Warriors adding a 12yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter. Ethan Lathery rushed in for the 2-point conversion. Danville won this one easily by a final score of 39-6.

Next week Danville takes on their archrival, Tri West Bruins, at home, for the Sectional Championship. ______________________________________________

Hendricks County’s Bicentennial Bison has roamed back home to his pasture on the court house lawn. The fiberglass beast had taken a tumble last winter and suffered some exterior damage. Thanks to the fiberglass and painting veterinarians at Hackleman’s body shop, the noble creature has made a full recovery.

According to Hendricks County Facilities Manager Kevin Cavenaugh, JJ, as the bison has been nicknamed, is more secured to his stomping ground.

The statue was purchased by the County as part of the Indiana Bicentennial celebration in 2016. He was painted and decorated with the Indiana State Flag by local artist Kerry Trout.

JJ now monitors traffic on Main street and appears happy to be back home again. ______________________________________________

He was born on January 11, 1955 in Detroit, Michigan, to the late Harry N. and Dora M. (Kellems) Felix.

Dennis married Kathy Stedman on July 19, 1997 in Avon, IN and quickly established roots in Plainfield to begin their lives together, along with their daughter, Tayler. Dennis, an avid Purdue fan, music lover and committed community member, was loved by many as he always made it a point to create meaningful relationships with anyone he came across.

As the owner of Premier Pest Control, you could always find him going above and beyond for his customers and business while always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. When not working, you could find Dennis meeting up with his friends for morning coffee at Goody’s or finding a reason to be with his family and those he loved. As you will hear most say, Dennis was a one-of-kind friend and he will be dearly missed by those who knew him.

She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great great grandmother, and great great great grandmother. Faye was a fixture in her hometown, serving her community as librarian with the Clayton Library for over 25 years, a cook within the Clayton School System, and a member of the First Baptist Church of Clayton, which she first started attending with her grandmother, traveling by horse and buggy.

She was surrounded by her loving and devoted family.

Funeral service took place Wednesday, November 3, at Venture Church in Lizton. Tonya was laid to rest in K. of P. Cemetery in Lizton.

Tonya Perry loved her job at the Lizton Town Hall as the town’s Clerk Treasurer for over 16 years. She said she she loved being able to be a part of the town and helping it grow. She worked hard up until the Friday before her passing. She also worked at IU West Physical Therapy for five years where she had the unique ability of meeting patients with a smile on her face at 6 a.m. She left IU West in August of 2020 to work full time for the Town of Lizton.

Tonya’s most cherished job and proudest accomplishment was being a stay-at-home mom. She ran Tri-West Youth Football Cheer while her husband coached the boys and ran the Tri-West Youth Football League. Her happy place was in the passenger seat on car rides with her family to the kids’ events, to church, to see friends and family, or when going on vacation. She loved being able to look back and take a picture of all of the kids in the back seats.

She loved her trips to Wisconsin to go to Madison for Badger football games and for family fishing trips - where she didn’t fish but enjoyed being able to lay out and read on the boat.

Some of her most favorite times include being able to spend time with daughter Angel and her beautiful new granddaughter, Maeleigh Jo, on her lunch break. She loved getting together for shopping days with the girls.She was an expert family craft and game night planner. She was always looking for a new family tradition to start but also keeping all the old traditions going. She lived a special life and was special to a lot of people. She was able to share her faith and testimony to anyone and everyone with a smile on her face even as she went through her battle with her ovarian cancer.

She will be celebrated by her parents, Tony and Barbara Maynard, her siblings and their spouses, Toni Anne and Dave Thaxton, Trina and Mike Cox, Robin and Candi Maynard, and her sister-in-law and her husband, Jennifer and Herbie Blevins, as well many aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

TO THE OWNERS OF THE WITHIN DESCRIBED REAL ESTATE AND ALL INTERESTED PARTIES NOTICE OF SHERIFF’S SALE

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SELL BONDS $5,575,000* GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS OF 2021 AVON COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION

Upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice given by the undersigned Secretary prior to the ninetieth day after this notice is first published, Avon Community School Corporation (the “School Corporation”) will receive and consider bids for the purchase of the following described Bonds. Any person interested in submitting a bid for the Bonds may furnish in writing to the School Corporation c/o Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC (“Baker Tilly”), 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240; (317) 465-1500 or by e-mail to bids@bakertilly.com, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Indianapolis Time) November 12, 2021, the person’s name, address, and telephone number.

Interested persons may also furnish an e-mail address. The undersigned Secretary will notify (or cause to be notified) each person so registered of the date and time bids will be received not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the date and time of sale. The notification shall be made by telephone at the number furnished by such person and also by e-mail, if an e-mail address has been received.

Notice is hereby given that electronic proposals will be received via PARITY®, in the manner described below, until the time and date specified in the Notice provided at least 24 hours prior to the sale, which is expected to be 11:00 a.m. (Indianapolis Time), on November 16, 2021. Bids may be submitted electronically via PARITY® pursuant to this Notice until the time specified in this Notice, but no bid will be received after the time for receiving bids specified above. To the extent any instructions or directions set forth in PARITY® conflict with this Notice, the terms of this Notice shall control. For further information about PARITY®, potential bidders may contact the School Corporation’s advisor, Baker Tilly at (317) 465-1500 or PARITY® at (212) 849-5021.

At the time designated for the sale, the School Corporation will receive at the offices of Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana, and consider bids for the purchase of the following described Bonds: Avon Community School Corporation General Obligation Bonds of 2021 (the “Bonds”), an Indiana political subdivision, in the principal amount of $5,575,000*; Fully registered form; Denomination $5,000 and integral multiples thereof (or in such other denomination as requested by the winning bidder); Originally dated the date of delivery of the Bonds; Bearing interest at a rate or rates to be determined by bidding, payable on July 15, 2022, and semiannually thereafter; These Bonds will be initially issued in a Book Entry System (as defined in the Bond Resolution (as hereinafter defined)) unless otherwise requested by the winning bidder. Interest payable by check mailed one business day prior to the interest payment date or by wire transfer to depositories on the interest payment date to the person or depository in whose name each Bond is registered with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. on the fifteenth day immediately preceding such interest payment date; Maturing or subject to mandatory redemption on January 15 and July 15 beginning on July 15, 2022 through and including January 15, 2023 on the dates and amounts as provided by the School Corporation prior to the sale.

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

If a potential bidder has questions related to the School Corporation, the financing or submission of bids, questions should be submitted by email to the addresses above no later than 11:00 a.m. (Indianapolis Time) on November 12, 2021. To the best of the School Corporation’s ability, all questions will be addressed by or on behalf of the School Corporation and sent to potential bidders, including any bidders requesting 24 hours’ notice of sale, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Indianapolis Time) on November 12, 2021. Additionally, upon request, the written responses will be emailed to any other interested bidder. Bidders should review this notice as well as the Preliminary Official Statement and submit any questions in advance of this deadline to submit questions.

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

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

A bid may designate that a given maturity or maturities shall constitute a term bond, and the semi-annual amounts set forth in the schedule provided prior to the sale shall constitute the mandatory sinking fund redemption requirements for such term bond or bonds. For purposes of computing net interest cost, the mandatory redemption amounts shall be treated as maturing on the dates set forth in the schedule provided prior to the sale.

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

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

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

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

Bidders must comply with the rules of PARITY® (the “Rules”) in addition to requirements of this Notice. To the extent there is a conflict between the Rules and this Notice, this Notice shall control. Bidders may change and submit bids as many times as they wish during the sale, but they may not withdraw a submitted bid. The last bid submitted by a bidder prior to the deadline for the receipt of bids will be compared to all other final bids to determine the winning bid. During the sale, no bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (e.g., whether their bid is a leading bid).

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

The approving opinion of Bond Counsel, together with a transcript of the proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds and closing papers in the usual form showing no litigation questioning the validity of the Bonds, will be furnished to the successful bidder at the expense of the School Corporation.

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

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

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

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

Inquiries concerning matters contained in the Preliminary Official Statement must be made and pricing and other information necessary to complete the Final Official Statement must be submitted by the Purchaser within two (2) business days following the sale to be included in the Final Official Statement.

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

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

Further information relative to said issue and a copy of the Preliminary Official Statement may be obtained upon application to Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687, municipal advisor to the School Corporation; or Dr. Scott Wyndham, Superintendent of the School Corporation, 7203 East US Highway 36, Avon, Indiana 46123. If bids are submitted by mail, they should be addressed to the School Corporation, attention of Baker Tilly, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2687.

Dated this 4th day of November, 2021.
