An analysis across student populations shows a significant literacy gap widening among Indiana’s racially and ethnically diverse, low-income, special education and English learner students.

To provide additional support for Indiana schools as they teach students to read, IDOE is working to support schools in implementing evidence-based literacy practices based on the Science of Reading, a compilation of scientific research on reading, reading development and reading instruction.

IDOE will partner with participating schools to train literacy coaches to help local educators implement Science of Reading-based instruction in their classrooms. Local schools can opt-in to the initiative. ______________________________________________

Plainfield-Guilford Township Library Hosts Heroes’ Tree

Community Crossing Grants

Three Hendricks County towns are among 218 Indiana cities, towns, and counties to receive a combined $101.9 million in state matching funds for local road projects. The grants are through Community Crossings, a part of the Next Level Roads program.

Receiving grants are: Danville - $271,424.

Pittsboro - $223,327.76 Plainfield - $100,000,000 “With these grants, communities can make ongoing investments so that Hoosier roadways are safe and dependable for years to come,” said State Rep. Greg Steuerwald (R-Avon) who co-authored legislation establishing the progam in 2016. “This money will certainly be put to good use as Indiana works to both preserve and improve its infrastructure.”

According to State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) “The success of our economy depends on the quality of our infrastructure.This grant program is a unique partnership between the state and local governments, which has really helped small and large communities tackle local road and bridge projects.”

Smaller municipalities must provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while large communities must provide a 50 percent match.

State law requires that 50 percent of the available matching funds be awarded annually to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or fewer.

More information about the program and recipients can be found online at in.gov/indot/communitycrossings. ___________

Volunteer for Meals on Wheels

The Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library is proud to host the Our Heroes’ Tree initiative now through November 30, 2021. The Heroes’ Tree is based on a nation-wide initiative co-founded by Stephanie Pickup, author of The Soldier’s Tree, and Marlene Lee, author of The Hero in My Pocket.

The Heroes’ Tree includes all branches of military service, including Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve, and all generations. The idea is folks can honor a loved one in the military by making a paper star ornament and adding that loved one’s military branch and name to the star and then adding it to the tree.

If you would like to add an ornament to the Heroes’ Tree in honor of their military service, please stop by the library at 1120 Stafford Road, Plainfield, IN 46168. For more information visit the library’s website at www.plainfieldlibrary.net or call 317-839-6602. ______________________________________________

Meals on Wheels delivers a nutritious, hot meal to homebound residents of Hendricks County.

Meals are delivered by more than 120 volunteers.

In addition, the organization provides a wellness check, complimentary pet food and human connection. If you are interested in volunteering you can visit HCMealsonWheels. org. The site lists all volunteer needs and the steps to get started. For as little as two hours a month Meals on Wheels volunteers can make a huge difference.

If you would like information about becoming a client or volunteer, you can visit their website or call Renee Harlor at 317-7453469. __________

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: I possess a fondness for highfalutin language. Some might call it rhetoric. People describe a politician’s rant as “rhetoric” when it’s often nothing more than lowbrow diatribe.

Or windbaggery.

Before Central Normal College packed up and hightailed it from Ladoga here to the county seat where there was room to grow, a verbose Danville academician submitted in 1876 what I call a scathingly sublime superlunary rebuke: “The Ladoga Normal College and Business Institute has promulgated a paranomastical, propaedeutical, prolegomanary, pronunciamento, which you will find in a late number of the Indiana School Journal.”

The writer, “Etty Logos,” is layering rhetoric on so thick you have no choice but to believe she knows what is going on.

Etty had issues with Ladoga’s opening year curriculum approach, calling it “so stilted and flatulent that less euphusiastic language would utterly fail to convey any idea of its extreme bombastry.”

The prospectus read “more like a patent medicine humbug, than it does like a simple invitation to the young men and maidens of Indiana to assemble at Ladoga, for purposes educational.”

Ladoga proposed: “To young men and women preparing for Teaching, Law, Medicine, Theology, Farming and Business, the Normal College offers unusual advantages and opportunities.”

She argued, “In my humble estimation, this is all wrong.” Then Etty revealed what I believe was the focus of her opposition: “And in behalf of my sex, I raise my feeble protest against this indiscriminate turning of females into lawyers, preachers, doctors and grangers.”

In Etty’s opinion, Ladoga’s aim was dead wrong.

I had thought women of the era wanted precisely such places in society.

“One Mrs. Mary Walker is all the world can put up with, with her semi-male attire and her clamor for the privileges of the Ballot-box.”

Mary Walker, I gather, was the Civil War-era Medal of honor winner, surgeon, abolitionist, spy and women’s rights advocate, and she did dress like a man.

I would like to have known Etty – outspoken and violently opposed to breaching the era’s gender job barrier. Her distaff polemic spanned two issues of The Republican’s competition, the Gazette, but that second installment apparently is lost to time.

Before Central Normal the Danville Academy debuted in the Danville Seminary in September 1854, offering eager scholars algebra, geometry, plain and solid trigonometry, mensuration, surveying, history, philosophy, rhetoric, Latin and Greek, all for five dollars, apparently. School term ended in December.

That was crammed into four months? The announcement reads that way.

Central Normal opened its first four-week Danville term July 9, 1878. Miss Dora Lieuellen taught rhetoric, history and geography. I wonder what Etty thought of that.

Two Union correspondents boasted of their respective cadre’s rhetorical skills in 1881.

Of Plainfield’s 37-strong fanfaronade, one swore, “The most accomplished of our clan is Tom. He throws ink in a hundred directions in one stroke. He is no amateur in prose, poetry, wit, humor, or on obituaries. When he draws a bead on you, you had better step aside.”

Pecksburg correspondent Hop Wo claimed his fellows were so abundant that “all you have to do at any time when you want one is to shake a bush.”

Fortified with a book on composition and rhetoric, another Pecksburg correspondent “of the Eli Perkins species” would “just make the immortal gods lie down on the grass and hold their ambrosial scented breath to see him waltz in and stir up the menagerie.”

Eli Perkins was the pseudonym of humorist Melville D. Landon.

Monday, July 13, 1885, was “according to the family Bible,” C.W. Davis’ 26th birthday. Friends and relatives of the North Salem man threw a surprise party and, according to correspondent U.L.C., when asked what he thought of the birthday dinner, “his eyes began to beam with more than usual lustre. His muscles became rigid and his whole body was electrified as it were.”

Davis spoke “for a score of minutes, perhaps two, possibly three. I only know that I was listening to words before unknown to my vocabulary.

“Adjectives defined adverbs emphasized and all combined presented to my mind one sublime panorama rhetorical sublimity.”

U.L.C., comparing the young man to Demosthenes and Cicero, avowed Davis “was watering us, the sickly plant of ignorance, with his eloquence.”

I believe U.L.C. fainted; and, rousing, “returned to my own vine and fig tree.”

Publisher’s Point of View It’s Time We Start Talking There is something to be said about being a newspaper in these days of online omnipotence.

In today’s world of internet insanity, opinions are not posted to engage in discussion, they are posted to declare a position without any interest in a discussion.

The Republican newspaper is interested in discussion. While the roots of this newspaper are grounded in conservative leanings, its branches have grown to encourage and celebrate diverse opinions. To facilitate growth. To improve.

To that end, the newspaper identified two individuals with opposing and firmly entrenched political and religious views and asked them out to lunch. With the understanding that this could turn into a story about an epic food fight at the local eatery (which would have been so much fun) the two agreed to a free meal.

During lunch, the newspaper asked if they would be interested in a challenge: To take a divisive issue and explain their position on that issue without knowledge of what the other is writing. The intent of this exercise is to see if we can share views without trying to destroy opposing views. As one participant hoped, “Maybe there will be points of intersection that we agree on.” This month the subject will be Critical Race Theory.

Our participants are Quaker pastor and longtime liberal Philip Gulley on the left and on the right, Danville Town Councilman and longtime conservative, David Winters.

To get a better feeling for each, a visit to their social media pages will quickly shine light on their individual perspectives.

Stay tuned for the November 18, 2021 edition of The Republican to read their opinions about Critical Race Theory. If all goes well and our readers enjoy this exercise, we will continue this series on a monthly basis. It’s time we start listening to each other instead of talking over each other.

Should all Hoosiers have an opportunity to vote?

As a candidate, I found the November, 2020 election in Hendricks County a great experience. Special recognition goes out to the Hendricks County Election/Voter Registration Office. The staff helps all candidates running for office and treats them professionally, regardless of party affiliation.

Unfortunately, our election process and election fairness are being used for political advantage by Donald Trump. As recently as September, 2021, the Texas Tribune reported Trump demanding an audit of the Texas 2020 election because of fraud. The Texas Secretary of State has certified: “There has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud.” In addition, this official, appointed by the Republican governor declared the election “smooth and secure.”

Time after time we see attacks on our election officials and on the conduct of our county government responsible for elections. Blaming the system for an election loss helps create anger and resentment. As a result, politicians use this wedge to fund their campaigns and spend money on social media to keep reinforcing these lies.

Many states, including Indiana, are using election fraud as justification to make it difficult for voters. All of the following are not allowed in Indiana: * shift workers voting in the evening, * mothers with no child care using mailed ballots, and * Covid long-haulers and diabetics without medical exemptions who are unable to endure standing in line for hours.

Let’s use bipartisan committees to identify the right and wrong way to keep our elections free and fair. Legislation by listening to the loud voices at the back of the room is not getting us anywhere.

Eric Shotwell Brownsburg

Dear Editor: As of today, it has been one year and three days since the 2020 election and Congressman Jim Baird has not yet stated publicly that the election was not stolen from former President Trump. I have spoken to members of his Danville staff and have been told that the Congressman knowns that it was not stolen.

Congressman Baird is surely away that, on November 12, 2020, Christopher Krebs, Trump’s appointed director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, reported that “the November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes or changed votes or was in any way compromised.” Previously, on November 30, 2020, Attorney General Barr noted that “to date, we have not seen any fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.” Since then, there has been no evidence whatsoever to support former President Trump’s claim of a “stolen election.”

Based on the results of many surveys, it is likely that more than 30% of the voters in Congressman Baird’s district believe that the election was “stolen” from former President Trump. Since Representative Baird knows the truth, I think he should have shared the truth many months ago but most certainly now.

Congressman Baird served honorably with courage in Vietnam. Surely he should wait not a day longer to show political courage and tell the public what he knows is the truth about the results of the 2020 Presidential election.

As my sister Dona said yesterday, “In my lifetime, I have never seen such cowardice when it so matters to tell the truth.”

Sincerely,

Jim Thacker ______________________________________________

Twelve Avon High School Students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications. This honor meaningfully connects students with universities across the country, helping them stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service.

The 10 Avon High School students who are included in College Board’s African American Recognition Program are Daniel Alonge, Aderinsola Adeleke, Faith Kipkulei, Emmanuel Gichaba, Hiqmah Mustapha, Anthony Frazier, Lauren Fitch, Mya Doyle, Jaelyn Truitt, and Tyler Body. They are joined by two students included in College Board’s Hispanic Recognition Program: Anthony Lee and Sonia Aleman Villegas.

“We’re thrilled that our students have earned this recognition. We are very proud of them for their achievements in their classrooms and on College Board assessments,” said Principal Matt Shockley. “These programs help students from underrepresented backgrounds stand out to colleges during admissions, and any university in the nation would be lucky to have these outstanding students.”

Students who may be eligible have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams; and are African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latinx, Indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.

Eligible students apply during their sophomore or junior year and are awarded at the beginning of the following school year. Students receive their awards in time to include them on their applications.

“By awarding students who excel academically with honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs, our aim is to create pathways to college for underrepresented students,” said Steve Bumbaugh, College Board senior vice president of College & Career Access. “We hope this inspires many more students to work toward this recognition.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________

Local Hotelier Receives Hoosier Hospitality Award

Mike Grabowski (right) receives his Hoosier Hospitality Award from Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crough.

A Plainfield hotel director who has become known for his community work, positive attitude and willingness to do anything for his business and visitors he serves received statewide recognition last week.

Mike Grabowski, Director of Sales & Marketing at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Plainfield Indianapolis Airport, was one of 16 recipients of the 2021 Lieutenant Governor’s Hoosier Hospitality Awards during a ceremony on Nov. 5 in Indianapolis.

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch presented Grabowski with the award.

Thanks in part to Grabowski, the Embassy Suites, which is Hendricks County’s first and only hotel and conference center, has thrived despite the pandemic occurring only a year after the hotel opened. Grabowski even had to let his entire staff go for several months during the pandemic serving as a one-man show handling all the calls for cancellations and date changes until visitors and business returned.

Grabowski also has become a mentor to younger staffers at the hotel and shown his value outside the hotel serving his community by personally delivering welcome bags to new residents, helping stuff food boxes and holding food drives for local food pantries, donating and delivering hundreds of bags of goodies for local healthcare workers during the pandemic and much more at a time when his own business and industry was struggling.

Nominations for Hoosier Hospitality Awards are submitted by community members and destination patrons.

Nominations are reviewed, and winners are selected by the Indiana Destination Development Corporation.

Weed Wranglers Wanted

By Brownsburg Parks

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.

You could always say you were back home when the tall tower showed and you could read “North Salem” on it. Back home again. Hope we’ll be able to read North Salem again on the new tower.

So many changes in our small town - but still the small home town to so many.

New school building addition, new water tower, closing of the old Tom Goode filling station - still an empty lot - closing of the Come Hang Out Store in old Wynkoop Meat Market building, possibly new tenant. The former Eggers property on northwest of Main street still empty.

Do have Perillos in former Dr. O.H. Wisehart office, Karen’s Salon in part of old building, also two other offices there now.

Steve and Carolyn Miller have antique shop and sundries in longtime Hamilton-Porter building that once was Sundries and other insurance office.

My Accountant Insurance in the Roy Kersey building, as The Garden Gate and other businesses are located in the building.

We have the old Carmer Gas Facility and store on the corner, the Liquor Store, the Doug Frazier Furnace Man & Repairs, the North Salem State Bank’s office, loan and many more departments, checking, home office of several locations, Smitty’s Trucking, Hardware & More, and our latest, the Dollar General Store, which is an asset to our community. Do drop in at the businesses and enjoy their friendship. _____ The Volunteer Fire Dept. are planning their chili supper for Saturday, Nov. 20th, so mark your calendars now!

Also, The Farmers Market they have once a month at the Community Building is well attended and they have so many good vendors. A great time to buy Christmas items. ______ The Come Hang Out Store’s last day is Nov. 13.

Cornerstone Ceremony Set For New Addition to North Salem Elementary

Top photo: Current west side of building; Lower photo: Planned west side of building.

On Saturday, November 13, the Grand Master of Masons in the State of Indiana will symbolically lay the cornerstone for a new addition to North Salem Elementary School.

A time-honored Masonic tradition dating back centuries, the ceremony serves to ritually commemorate, consecrate and celebrate important buildings and the communities they serve.

In keeping with the small town tradition that makes North Salem’s ‘Old Fashion Days’ Labor Day weekend event, all townspeople are asked to assemble at the Town Park on Main Street/SR-75 (just north of SR-236) to join in a short parade. Students, alumni, faculty, staff and all attending are welcomed to gather at 10:30 a.m. and join the assembled Freemasons and North West Hendricks School Corporation and Town administrators as they are led by the Young Marines Color Guard to the gymnasium for the indoor ceremony.

The event will also include a salute from the Knights Templar, a student/alumni choral performance and remarks from local dignitaries.

The first brick school in North Salem was erected in 1885 and a high school building was added in 1905. Though neither stands today, the current two-story structure has been in continuous use for nearly 100 years. The current project includes: demolishing the 1925 structure (while repurposing some of its historic façade); adding large classrooms, a new media room, a secure entry and new office complex; and upgrading all other spaces with new flooring, ceiling and wall treatments, lighting, windows, doors and technology.

North Salem Elementary has consistently been identified as an Indiana Four Star School with an ‘A’ rating, received recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School, and was just identified by U.S. News & World Report as a top 10 Indiana Elementary School.

The event is open to the community and press.

Voices

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. 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. ______________________________________________

Summer’s Last Hurrah The middle of October, John and I packed up and went to Virginia. We loaded our bikes and the kayaks and prepared for one last summer adventure. As we left, the temperatures were in the high 70s. Summer had held on for three extra weeks, but it wouldn’t last.

Our daughter’s family lives in Norfolk, on the coast.

It gets cold there but not until November or December.

Spring comes sooner. By February her daffodils are blooming. We’ve done more kayaking in Virginia than Indiana this year. We decided to paddle one more time and then store the boats there for the winter.

While the weather turned cold and rainy here, we were enjoying sunny, 70/80s days. Our last paddle of 2021 was Lake Drummond in the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge.

The Great Dismal Swamp once encompassed over one million acres in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Today only 112,000 acres of wetlands remain. Archaeologists believe native peoples lived in the swamp over 13,000 years ago. In 1763, George Washington with eleven other wealthy Virginians, formed the Dismal Canal Company to drain the land for farming. The endeavor failed but the canals still exist.

Today the area is managed as a state park in North Carolina and by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Virginia. Along with over 22-miles of boating opportunities, the area boasts 18+-miles of biking and hiking trails. Smack in the middle of this wilderness is Lake Drummond.

One of only two natural lakes in Virginia, Lake Drummond covers 3,100 acres and is roughly 10 miles in circumference. We were fortunate to have a perfect day for kayaking! The sun was shining. There was a gentle breeze. The lake’s surface was mirror-like. It was a great ending to our paddling season.

The day after our Lake Drummond paddling adventure, John and I rode our bikes along the Washington Ditch Trail to the lake. The 4.5-mile mown-grass path parallels the ditch and is edged by woods. While stopping to take a few pictures, we were surprised to see a black bear on the trail behind us. He wasn’t too thrilled with seeing us on his road and lumbered back into the woods.

Our plans were altered by a family funeral which required our attendance in Georgia. Luckily, we had packed our “Sunday clothes” and could go right there. From Atlanta, between us and home lay Tennessee and one of our favorite places on Earth, Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

John and I have been visiting the Smokies since we honeymooned there over 40 years ago. October is beautiful in the mountains. The leaves are at peak color. Unfortunately, it’s also crowded. We try to avoid the weekends and find the more out-of-the-way hikes. We succeeded this time with a 9-mile hike to a little-known waterfall. The temperature was only in the 40s but since it was a steady uphill climb, we warmed quickly. The next day we walked a more popular trail but started early enough to avoid the crowds. Again, it was a chilly start but as the sun rose, the day warmed and the views were amazing.

We’re home now. It’s a bit dreary and a little nippy today. There’s plenty to do around the house. I think today’s big adventure will be how to season a pot of vegetable soup.

Bye Summer 2021. It’s been great fun.

Hooverettes were a popular house dress style of the 1930’s.

Named for President Herbert Hoover, whose term (1929-1933) marked Great Depression. the simple dresses featured a wrap front that could be reversed and thus laundered less frequently.

House Dresses Photos in old magazines of the women in their house dresses and aprons caused me to start thinking about those articles of clothing worn by my mother. House dresses was the name given to the dresses that my mother and other women wore when I was a little girl. At that time women and girls were not wearing slacks and shorts.

The house dresses I remember my mother wearing were ones she made herself. They were colored prints and the style was simple; in fact, as I recall, I think the pattern for them was a basic one with some changes made each time she made a new one, like changes of rick-rack or eyelet trim or buttons.

House dresses were for that purpose only - to wear around the house; however if Mother had made a new one, she often wore it to town or to a Ladies’ Aid meeting.

I know she had some dresses that were faded and worn that she wore to work in the garden or clean out the chicken house or do any other “dirty work” around the home.

When those faded house dresses were no longer wearable, they were washed and then put in the rag bag and maybe used for a dust rag, a cleaning rag, or maybe tom into strips for a rag rug.

Women on farms had a ready source for the fabric for their house dresses. Feed purchased for the animals on the farm could be purchased in bags made of cotton prints, so a farmer would try to purchase several bags of feed made of the same colored print if his wife had told him she needed fabric to make a new house dress.

A house dress is almost a thing of the past, however I do know some women in their 80s and 90s who still wear them. The dresses are now seen in museums, too, and when I see one, I have warm memories of my mother wearing a cotton print house dress, simple as it was and soft and smelling like the fresh summer breeze. It is such a precious memory.

A Note From Bee Sears, Penney, and Montgomery Ward used to send us Christmas catalogs. Most interesting were the toys.

These catalogs usually arrived in October. No books ever got so much attention from our children and grand children. It didn’t take long to lose the covers. The children could never share the catalogs. So there were many a fight that had to be settled and the pages usually got torn off in the fracas.

Before they could write, I would write down what they wanted. Actually there was little that they did not want.

They advanced to putting their names on items they wanted. Finally they could make their own lists that were written, erased, or even torn up by a sibling. The final copy was left outside on the bushes to be picked up the elves and taken directly to santa. Those same elves peeked in the windows before Christmas to see if the children had been naughty or nice.

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

Ropes There are 4 items that are always in my pack: my license, a knife, a flashlight, and a length of rope. A good strong rope has come in handy for me on so many occasions I’ve lost count. My go-to rope is an olive drab, nylon rope that’s at least 35 feet long and at least 1/4th thick.

Why 35 feet? Well, most of my treestands are 17.5 feet tall so I like to double that number. This way, I can raise or lower my weapon of choice and my pack as well.

My rope has two lightweight carabiner snap hooks, one on each end. These clips allow me to either clip directly to my pack or other gear as well as looping the rope through the hook. The hook allows for a nice secure and quick release.

I have also used my rope as a drag rope when I get fortunate enough to bag a deer. I’ll find a thick stick, wind up the rope a couple of times and then make a loop to go around the stick and the other end will be looped around the deer’s neck and off we go.

In emergency situations, I have also used my rope as a make-shift safety belt. Now, I’ll be the first to say you should always have a fall restraint vest on whenever you are hunting in an elevated stand. But in some situations, (like forgetting to put the vest in my pack), the rope works as a poor substitute. Better to have it loped around my waist and the tree than to have nothing at all.

On more than one occasion, I’ve shored up and secured a treestand with my drag rope. Rachet straps seem to attract all kinds of chewing critters and I’ve had more than one strap ruined by those beasts. In comes the drag rope to shore up the stand. Safety first!

Once, okay maybe more than once, I’ve dropped something out of the stand, or I’ve climbed up and strapped in and realized I left something at the base of my stand. The carabiner can be tied open and then used to as a handy hook. Heck, I’ve even carved out a hook from a handy limb and tied it with my rope to fetch the errant item.

Forget a sling for my gun? No problem if I have my handy-dandy rope. Just a few loops, some ingenuity and presto, a serviceable sling that will work in a pinch. Again, safety first, unload the gun!

Some odd uses include, tying up brush to make a duck blind. Using the rope as a leash for a certain, hard-headed black Labrador retriever. Pulling a vehicle out of a ditch or mud (long story). And of course, tying down gear in the back of the truck.

I’m also sure the rope could be used for all kinds of first aid as well, but I’ve hot had to use it for that yet (knock on wood!). A tourniquet would be a use for the rope. Creating a splint for a twisted ankle or broken limb would be another good use of the rope.

Wherever your travels take you to the great outdoors, travel save and take a rope! ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “We’re quite looking forward to it at the Squirrel Salon,” Archy said, cheerily. “It’s been the hot topic of discourse among the members.”

I assumed the squirrel was talking about our upcoming opposing essays on the subject of Critical Race Theory. It always give me pause when I think of being the subject for erudite rodents’ analysis.

“Of course, some of our members are skeptical whether humans can argue without resorting to insults, taunts, and name-calling,” Archy said, “But I tell them those are presumptions and they should raise their expectations.”

I thanked him for his optimism.

“My pleasure,” Archy replied. “Interacting with you has somewhat changed my opinion of humans. Of course, I’m not expecting minds to be changed, but there might be a slight opening of the door.”

“What door?” I asked.

“The door we close in front of us, of course,” the squirrel explained. “When we close a door behind us, it cuts off the past. When we close a door in front of us, it cuts off the possibilities for understanding. People stay sealed in their silos of information.”

Having spent a good deal of time in a silo, I could understand the squirrel’s point. When you’re inside, all you see are walls. But if you climb to the top and look out the window, your perspective changes.

“I’m glad you understand,” Archy said. “People shouldn’t keep their information sealed - they should always be ready to expand their opinions by understanding the opinions of others. Comparisons can be used to confuse of to clarify, depending on your goal.”

“A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest,” I quoted Paul Simon.

“Exactly,” Archy said. “The ability to understand is often underestimated. Take the time to really listen before you form an opinion and make sure you don’t shut the door in front of you.”

Does A Woolly Worm Really Predict Winter?

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Woolly bear caterpillars—also called woolly worms— have a reputation for being able to forecast the winter weather.

Some Woolly Bear Folklore: *The 13 segments of the caterpillar represent the 13 weeks of winter. *The longer the woolly bear’s black bands, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. *If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. *If the worms are mostly brown, the winter will be mild. *If wooly worms are heading north, the winter will be mild---if heading south, we can expect a harsh winter.

And if they are heading east or west, hmm?

Research has debunked all these myths. The colors of the woolly worm have more to do with genetics, age, and past weather conditions-- than predict the future weather Fact: woolly worms molt six times in its lifespan. Its color changes with each molt. The woolly worms coloring is based on how long caterpillar has been feeding, its age, and species.

Why do woolly worms cross the road? They are looking for a sheltered location to spend the winter.

They create a natural organic antifreeze called “glycerol” which allows them to survive even when frozen!

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.]

Pet Adoption Explained Here are a few reasons why every family should adopt a dog.

First, a dog is a loyal and trustworthy companion. If you treat us well, we will be a friend for life who will love you unconditionally. Just be sure to keep the kibble coming.

Secondly, we will protect our family from burglars, grizzly bears and other unwanted intruders by barking fiercely until the intruder goes away. (We practice this handy skill on letter carriers and meter readers.)

Thirdly, we can benefit a human’s health. Studies have shown that petting a dog actually lowers a human’s blood pressure. Owning a dog also raises good cholesterol levels, increases joint flexibility and restores hair. I’m sure I read this someplace, but I don’t know where.

Fourth, it’s just fun to have a dog or two around!

So there you have it. Adopt a dog from a shelter or humane society in May or another other month! And be sure it’s spayed or neutered. There are plenty of us to go around. (Avoid the pet shop puppies. They are often from puppy mills and have physical or emotional problems that don’t show up until later. It also just helps support the mills.)

Part II Henry interviews Cookie, The Republican’s cat.

H: So, Cookie, why should people adopt a cat?

C: Humans cannot adopt a cat. We merely deign to live with them.

H: But, people seem to love cats. Don’t cats love them?

C: We depend on them for food, shelter and health care. That enables us to tolerate them.

H: But cats are always rubbing up against humans’ legs and purring.

C: We are rubbing our scent on them to claim them as our own. As for purring, it’s a reflex. People love it, but we wouldn’t do it if we had a choice.

H: Well, gee, Cookie, I was hoping for a real heart-toheart here. You know, some of those ware fuzzies.

C: If you want warm and fuzzy, get flannel pajamas. If you want a little haughtiness in your life, get a cat.

Interrupting! This is Cookie, and Henry didn’t even talk to me! He made up all this stuff! Of course, cats love humans! Just because we aren’t sycophants, like some dogs I could name, doesn’t meav we aren’t loving! Cats have actualy surpassed dogs in popularity and that must mean something! Adopt a cat! Henry, get away! Pffft!

Due to technical difficulties beyond our control, this interview has been terminated.

Time to Get Comfortable About an Uncomfortable Situation

About Woolly Woolly Worms are fuzzy caterpillars (insects).

They have six true legs and several pairs of prolegs that grasp branches so they don’t fall off. When handled, woolly worms curl up into a tight fuzzy ball and “play dead”.

The banded woolly worm has 13 segments; the bands at either end are black and the middle ones are reddish-brown. Caterpillars have one goal in life: avoid being eaten Dr. Crystal Exline of Danville Veterinary Hospital and Zoey. ____________________________________________________

They go through a metamorphosis, eventually becoming the Isabella tiger moth (Pyrrhactia Isabella) that is seen during the summer months when drawn a to a porchlight at night. The adult moth has a wingspan of about two inches, has yellowy-orange coloration, black legs, and small black spots on wings.

Would you believe there are wooly worm festivals?Check around for a festival held near you in October.

Maybe you should consider checking the thickness of corn husks, or “See how high the hornet’s nest is,- ‘twill tell how high the snow will be.”

A moth flew into my door today and fell to the ground.

I was able to resurrect him using mouth to moth breathing techniques.

JUST AN OBSERVATION BIRDS

By Janet Beam For some reason I have been thinking a lot about birds lately. The subject always brings to mind the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock classic “The Birds.” After seeing that movie for the first time, I looked at all birds with suspicion. The screenplay was based on Daphne du Maurier’s novella “The Birds.” The film was also partly inspired by the true events of a mass bird attack in Capitola, California in 1961. Evidently hordes of seabirds were dive-bombing homes and cars. When Alfred Hitchcock heard about this event, he used it as research material for his film. But as usual I digress.

When I was much younger, many, many moons ago, I always wished I could fly like a bird. We have all seen pictures of people who have rigged some sort of wings on their backs, climbed to the top of a mountain or tall building and jumped; thinking somehow they were going to be able to fly. They soon found out differently. For some reason, God did not think it necessary for humans to fly.

I still like to watch birds. We were thrilled to find a bluebird in residence in the woods behind our home here in Danville. I had never seen an Eastern bluebird up close and personal. It is beautiful!

Never thought too much about the flying aspect of birds (after all that is what birds are supposed to do) until I noticed the other day some birds that were just soaring through the wild blue yonder. It was somewhat windy and the birds seemed to be happy to be out and about. I always just thought of their flying as a way to get from here to there. But these guys seemed to be flying just for the sheer joy of it. So the next time you see a bird just soaring through this beautiful world, share the joy of being free like a bird!

Just an observation. ______________________________________________

By: Dr. Crystal Exline The word euthanasia means “good death.”

Many people have said to me, “I wanted to be a veterinarian, but I could not euthanize an animal because I love them too much.”

Veterinarians develop close relationships to our clients and their pets. It is a privilege that I do not take lightly, knowing that I am relieving suffering not only of the pet but also of the owner from watching their pet decline. It is the final, most selfless act, we can provide the pets who have unconditionally loved us.

While the death of a pet and watching the bond between a pet and their caregiver in their final moments is indeed a difficult moment, it is not the hardest part of my job.

While the terms burnout and compassion fatigue are more common in human healthcare, we are just now exploring it in veterinary medicine.

Compassion fatigue it is a natural consequence of repeated stress resulting from caring for and helping those that are experiencing trauma or suffering. A veterinarian’s empathy and compassion are what makes us great doctors, but it is also a dangerous double-edged sword.

Our lives are filled with meaning and purpose, but we also care so much that we often work for hours after the hospital doors have been locked and the lights are out. We come home to cold meals and programs for school plays that we missed. Our spouses ask how our day was and the typical response is “fine” because we are trying to protect our loved ones from our daily pressures and griefs.

I’ve heard another veterinarian refer to our profession as one of the most dangerous in the world. It is not due to the daily risk of harm from our patients, but the risk of harm to ourselves. The weight of life-or-death decisions, long hours, impossible standards of perfection we either place upon ourselves or are demanded from the public leads to a level of isolation and fatigue that can spiral into burnout, depression and possibly suicidal thoughts.

In a 2014 survey of 11,627 veterinarians, 9 percent were found to have serious psychological distress, 31 percent have experienced depressive episodes, and a staggering one in six considered taking their life at some point in their career.

Of the vets that have died since 2010, 10 percent have been to suicide and of those that died due to suicide, 75 percent are small animal veterinarians. It was also found in a 36-year study published by the CDC, that veterinarians are more than 3.5 times more likely to die from suicide versus the general population.

The word euthanasia means “good death.” Veterinarians view euthanasia as a relief of suffering and if you are person that has depressive episodes, suicide is a way to end it. Also, if a veterinarian attempts suicide, they have a very high rate of success because they have the knowledge and skill to perform it.

So how do you care for your pet’s caregiver?

You, as pet owners, have one of the greatest impacts to the veterinary profession. Be a responsible pet owner and get pet insurance or start a savings account. New puppies and kittens will grow up, have accidents, and get sick.

Planning is key to providing the care needed for your pet during an urgent situation.

Please be a partner with your veterinarian and have your pet examined at least once a year. Finding a disease early and treating it is less expensive and more likely to have a positive outcome.

Veterinarians are leaving the field due to retirement or burnout faster than veterinary schools are graduating students. This has resulted in longer wait times for appointments. This places increased stress on emergency veterinary hospitals where the typical wait time has swelled to over six hours. Please realize that we also really want to help every pet but sometimes we can’t.

When we can’t meet the impossible standards, such as fitting in one more emergency into the day or requiring our already exhausted team to stay late, we often carry a level of guilt and doubt within ourselves.

This can be fueled by accusations of being uncaring, threats of lawsuits and cyberbullying. A little patience and kind words can lift the spirits of an already exhausted veterinary team and it goes a long way in preventing compassion fatigue and burnout.

If you are a veterinarian or a member of the support staff, reach out. We are excellent care givers for others but often at a sacrifice to our own health. Join Facebook groups like NOMV (Not One More Vet) or Veterinary Support Staff Unleashed which provides help to veterinary professionals facing compassion fatigue, burnout and suicidal thoughts.

The Indiana and the American Veterinary Medical Associations have wellbeing programs and resources where they can help connect you to licensed professionals. Please remember that you are not alone, have not failed and are not weak for seeking help. We are all rooting for you.

New Memorial Scupture Honors Military Dogs

Artist Susan Bahary is behind the sculpture planned for Central Indiana K9 Association’s training facility. Fundraising is currently ongoing to obtain land to build a facility for the many K9’s and their handlers in Hendricks County, across Indiana and surrounding areas.

In the meantime, Bahary is celebrating a new unveiling today, in Washington D.C. The U.S. Navy Memorial will unveil a new sculpture honoring all the men and women of the sea services, past, present, and future, and all military working dog teams. It is also the first monument honoring working military dogs in the nation’s capital.

Bahary’s “Service and Sacrifice” sculpture features John Douangdara, the brave lead dog handler for the Navy SEAL Team Six and his war dog Bart, who were killed on Aug. 2011 along with 29 U.S. soldiers, 17 of whom were Navy Seals, when their CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan.

An internationally acclaimed artist, Bahary has long been known for her inspiring sculptures honoring the bond between animals and humans as well as service animals.

Her work can be found in national museums, military installations and public institutions worldwide, including the National Museum of the Marine Corps and the Military Women’s Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.

S he is the sculptor for the upcoming National Service Animals Monument and has brought the international symbol for service animals, the Purple Poppy®, to the U.S. as celebrated internationally on Feb. 24, National Service Animals Day. “I am humbled and honored that “Service and Sacrifice” will reside in the hallowed halls of the United States Navy Memorial, in Washington D.C., honoring the service and sacrifice of all the great men and women of the Sea Services, past, present and future. I hope it will inspire generations to come and raise awareness for our great service animal teams, as I’m also doing through the National Service Animals Monument and the Purple Poppy movement,” said Bahary.

The sculpture was commissioned by the U.S. War Dogs Association National Headquarters, a nonprofit organization led by president Chris Willingham, and will become a permanent part of the Navy Memorial Visitor’s Center alongside such features as the Jack London Plaque Wall, the stories of service exhibit, and American Sailor exhibit. The Navy Memorial provides a number of experiences and exhibits that are available for all to enjoy, both in-person at the Visitor’s Center and online at NavyMemorial. org.

The U.S. War Dogs Association, Inc. is a nonprofit military support organization of former and current U.S. military dog handlers and supporting members committed to promoting the long history of the military service dogs, establishing permanent War Dog Memorials, and educat-

ing the public about the invaluable service of these canines to the United States.

The organization also provides support to military working dogs with state-of-the-art equipment while on active duty and in retirement with free health care programs and assists in returning military dogs to be reunited with their former handlers.

“We are proud to honor military working dog (MWD) teams who have faithfully served in the Sea Services through the “Service and Sacrifice” monument. Additionally, this monument will help bring awareness to the invaluable service and capabilities our MWD teams bring to the battlefield,” Willingham said.

“The Navy Memorial is proud that we will host the statue honoring Petty Officer Douangdara and military working dog Bart, both of whom gave their lives for the United States,” said Rear Admiral Frank Thorp, USN (ret), President and CEO of the United States Navy Memorial. “In so doing, we honor all of the Navy Special Forces Personnel and military working dogs who serve in defense of our great nation.”

Local Dogs “Enlisted” During World War II

The Hollett family of Brownsburg, enlisted their dog in February of 1943.

Mr. and Mrs. George Newell, living on State Road 136, sent their German Shepherd, Joey, in February 1943. Two years later, in February 1945, the Newells received a letter from Morris Hurst of the U.S. Coast Guard, who was Joey’s trainer. The dog was first trained at Ft. Robinson, Nebr., and subsequently was sent to Alaska, then to Fort Royal, Va., and to Curtis Bay, Md. At the time the Newells received the letter, Joey was at San Francisco with his handler, awaiting overseas orders.

After two years of service, according to Coastguardsman Hurst, Joey had definitely become a one-man dog.

The two have been such close friends during this months of training, that Mr. Hurst asked if he might keep the dog for his very own, after the war is over. The two daughters

“Uncle Sam Wants Your Dog” - Posters urged citizens to enlist their pets as “War Dogs.” ____________________________________________________

Their names don’t appear on the memorial in the court house rotunda along with all those from Hendricks County that served in World War II, but Joey, Pal, and Pepsi played a part in the war effort.

Shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, prominent dog breeders and trainers created Dogs for Defense, a program appealing to Americans to donate their dogs to the war effort.

In 1942, The U.S. Army received 200 trained sentry dogs from Dogs for Defense. Eventually, an estimated 40,000 dogs were volunteered for service.

The dogs were family pets, not working dogs. Training facilities and an official Army manual were soon created and the K-9 Corps was established. Dogs for Defense continued to supply dogs until March 1945, when the Quartermaster Corps set up is own procurement program.

There were six main duties canine recruits were trained to fulfill: sentry dogs to guard posts and detect intruders; scout dogs to go ahead of their handlers and give silent warning of the enemy; sledge dogs pulled heavy lads of supplies, and sometimes wounded solders, across rough terrain of ice and snow; messenger dogs to deliver messages from a handler on patrol to another handler at headquarters, often across enemy territory; pack dogs to transport supplies where vehicles couldn’t go, carried in dog backpacks; and casualty dogs, trained and used by the medical corps to located injured soldiers.

Searching back issues of The Republican, we found mention of four Hendricks County pets that were volunteered for Dogs for Defense.

Pal, a Doberman Pincher owned by Mr. and Mrs. Mark Scott, living east of Danville, may have been the first, enlisting on August 8, 1942 at Indianapolis.

“It is very real, isn’t it,son - the tug of parting between a boy and his dog?” Sparton, an electrical manufacturer that had switched to war production only, used an ad depicting a boy donating his dog as as an example of sacrifice made to the war effort. ____________________________________________________

of Mr. and Mrs. Newell gave their consent for Joey to remain with his pal.

In February 1946, Pepsi, a four-year-old German shepherd arrived in Danville and was claimed by his little mistress, Nancy Bever, after three years of military service.

Pepsi received his honorable discharge on February 7. His record read in part, “Sentry dog at Long Beach, Calif. from May 13, 1943 until April 5, 1941. Also served as a mine and sentry dog in European theater as a member of the 42nd Quartermaster War Dog platoon. Performance in military service has been excellent at all times.” Pepsi had entered the service in March 1943.

Dogs for Defense made an effort to “deprogram” the dogs on their return to civilian life.

According to his owner, Pepsi was as gentle as ever, but showed a marked improvement in his manners after his military training.

Dog donors were given an official certificate by the U.S. government as a way of thanking them for doing their patriotic duty.

Making the Vet’s Job a Win-Win for All

Miller has the capability of doing most treatments from the comfort of your home. ___________________________________________________ Leah Miller opened Integrative Veterinary Care nearly one year ago and serves Hendricks, Boone, Putnam, Marion, Morgan and Montgomery counties.

By Melissa Gibson She’s been a veterinarian for over a decade and after moving to Danville a year ago, Dr. Leah Miller decided to start her own unique business, Integrative Veterinary Care.

“As a mother of three, I love Kroger’s Clicklist (mobile pickup service) because I don’t have to go into the grocery store anymore. It’s been so helpful, I thought, why can’t we have that in my industry as well? With a brick-andmortar facility, you have to be there a certain number of hours per week and this way, I can work around my kid’s schedule, it allows me to own my own business and be a mom and do both well,” Miller said.

It’s a win-win for both Miller and her clients. If you haven’t heard of the fear free movement, Shari Lyons opened the Zionsville Country Veterinarian Clinic (ZCVC), the first fear-free clinic of its kind in the country.

Research shows there are systematic ways to reduce the stress your pet feels when walking into a vet’s office, such as rubber flooring so dogs don’t slip on a tile floor, natural lighting for cats and private rooms for the animal to make themselves at home.

Miller operates on Mondays and Wednesdays at ZCVC, but she does a step better for your pet. She comes to you in her mobile vet clinic, treating pets in their home instead of making the trip in a car to an office they may or may not respond to well.

“It’s helpful for them because the animals are less stressed in their home environment. It’s also helpful for the client because I can visit nursing homes, or those that have just had a surgery and can’t get out of the house. It makes it simThe animals respond to fear care, as the vet works ple for everyone and it’s -free with them versus forcing them. just nice to have this as an option,” Miller said.

In the mobile vet van, Miller has an x-ray machine, and ultrasound machine and any minor exam tool needed.

If the animal needs an evasive procedure, those are performed at ZCVC.

For many, the idea of caring for a variety of dogs, cats and other animals would be a dream. Their cute little noses and beautiful fur and an overall love and passion for our four-legged members of the family is the reason many veterinarians chose their field of work.

In recent years, however, the health and wellbeing of these professionals have become a concern. Many vets experience depression, anxiety and compassion fatigue.

Miller knows many who have struggled and feels blessed to have escaped the downside to veterinarian work and counts her faith as the main source of peace.

“My heart goes out to people that struggle with compassion fatigue,” Miller said. I think so many vets are empathetic and take on the feelings of others. I had a classmate that took their own life, so I encourage people to not be afraid to tell someone you’re struggling.”

Veterinarians are often on the front lines of sharing difficult news about a pet that is a member of the family. Clients can get frustrated, angry and upset about their beloved pet suffering and in addition to other stresses in their life, it’s difficult to handle.

“For me, I think my faith sets things in priority for me.

I believe that Jesus is in charge of it all, so it helps me deal with those things. I’ve been able to put things into perspective and not sweat the small stuff,” Miller said. “I think people are really stressed out these days and I don’t like it when someone gets mad at me, but I try to fix what I can and if I can’t, I know that I’ve done my best.”

One way, clients can help make the trip to the vet easier (or even if she comes to you) is to maintain open, honest, communication. Miller said the more she knows about how you feel and what your goal is from the appointment, the less guesswork there is on her part.

Miller is currently accepting new patients and as her business grows, hopefully, the peace of knowing there are fear free options and even mobile options available, will create a better environment for all.

Veterans Day: Honoring Those That Served

Thursday, November 11, 2021

Lyons Score Win in Game 1 of 2021-2022 Season

Miller (right) was fortunate to receive several promotions during his three years of service. ____________________________________________________ Chuck Miller served as a United State Marine from 1961 to 1964.

By Melissa Gibson He’s humble and lucky – or blessed as Chuck Miller puts it.

“I’m probably the least worthy veteran that you would want to talk to. By the grace of God, I never saw combat and never shed blood. If you want real, true veterans, over at Post 118 in Danville, you can get better stories than I could tell,” Miller said.

However, the veteran’s story isn’t just one of time spent on the battlefield, violence and close calls. It’s also about sacrifice – a calling to serve and a desire to learn and Miller tells the story with pride.

Born in 1939 in Gary, Ind. during World War II, Miller can remember the air raids and watching planes fly overhead toward the Chicago airfields. World War II was over by the time he was entering grade school but hearing the stories of those coming back to the states from Europe and the Pacific concreted Miller’s thoughts of the future.

“I knew I wanted to be a Marine,” Miller said. “That was my calling and I couldn’t get it out of my head.”

His parents tried to steer Miller toward college. He enrolled at Purdue University in the late 50’s, but his heart wasn’t in it. When it became apparent to Miller and his family that his grades were poor and Purdue would not let him continue, Miller enlisted in the Marines at age 22 and served from 1961 to 1964.

“This was pre-Vietnam and I was deployed with the aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. I served there for 18 months and then went to Camp Pendleton as a rifle range coach,” Miller said. “I had a pleasant tour of duty compared to what some folks went through. I was part of paying the price, but I didn’t pay the same price a lot of other folks did and I was blessed by God.” For 18 months aboard Kitty Hawk, Miller and his fellow Marine’s were responsible for internal security, repelling borders and to perform security for the bombs located on the ship.

“When they would take a flight, a Marine accompanied every bomb to the plane until it was secure and back to the security hold once they landed again,” Miller said.

He traveled to the Philippines, Hong Kong, China and Japan. He was honored to be chosen to deliver information from the ship to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo and again, honored to be selected to lead the honor guard when President Kennedy came aboard the ship in 1963.

Miller participated in six burials at sea. The men were in full dress uniform and a 21-gun salute was fired to ceremonially lay the men that lost their lives to rest.

Danville Town Manager Mark Morgan had the honor of tossing the ball at the opening of the first game.

The ABA Indiana Lyons roared into the new season by defeating the Ohio Bruins, 111-101 as record crowd watched. _____________________________________________

Miller participated in six burials at sea aboard U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. ____________________________________________________

The comradery he felt with the men on board extends to all those who served back home at Post 118.

“We all have similar experiences. That’s why I enjoy going to the Legion. We can talk about things you probably wouldn’t share with anyone else,” Miller said.

He had the opportunity to host one of the 96 living recipients of the Medal of Honor when they traveled to Indiana to participate as Grand Marshalls in the 1999 Indy 500 Parade.

“My wife Karen and I hosted a former Marine Corporal who was in Okinawa when he had been wounded and they put him in a makeshift hospital there. A Japanese hand grenade was thrown into the hospital with him with nine other U.S. Marines in there. He threw himself on the grenade and it exploded. He saved all those other marines and he survived,” Miller said. “That was the second greatest – or maybe the first greatest honor I’ve ever had – to be able host him.”

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Miller wrote a letter to the admissions office at Purdue.

“I wish I had kept a copy of the letter. I said something like ‘I’m sitting in the sweaty hold of a U.S. fighting ship, sharpening my bayonet, not knowing if I’ll see combat or not and I just keep thinking about my days at Purdue, which I cherish…’,” Miller said. “Of course, a few weeks later I got a letter of acceptance.”

Purdue gave him another chance and it was all Miller needed.

“I was flunking out at Purdue. I really just wanted to be in the Marine Corps.

They weren’t going to let me come back but I did better than I ever thought I would and it’s all due to the things I learned in the Marine Corps.,” Miller said.

“It’s where I learned most of the good lessons of life: honor, integrity, discipline, stamina, never giving up… we did things that we had no idea that we could do. I learned that no matter what it is in life, you never quit, you do what you have to do.”

They’re the lessons that all veterans have learned and though some went on to graduate, get married and have a career, and others paid the ultimate price, those that sacrificed on a variety of levels can take with them a pride only felt by others of a similar experience.

“We took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. I did that to the best of my ability. I would have done whatever it took,” he said. “If I had gone into combat, I would have done my job. I think that’s the attitude of all veterans. Do your job. You’re trained to do it and that’s what you do.”

Victory Eludes Warriors at Sectional

Council Gets Comprehensive Plan Update

The November 3 meeting of the Danville Town Council was preceeded by a joint meeting and work study with the Danville Plan Commission to hear a presentation of a rough draft Comprehensive Plan being prepared by HWC Engineering.

Cory Whitesell of HWC outlined the process, which began last January with the formation of a steering committee, interviews with stakeholders, online surveys and workshops, an open house to present the results to the public.

The council members were urged to send any comments or questions to HWC by November 15.

The next step will be to present the Comprehensive Plan to the Plan Commission in December.

The Council meeting itself had only two items on the agenda.

A request for annexation of property at 187 N. CR 200E by Wayne L, and B. Jane Auger was introduced.

A request for two additional handicap parking spaces was made by the Danville Public Library at the intersectin of Indiana and Marion streets was also introduced. Action will be taken at a upcoming meeting of the Council. _____________________

and led 10-7, after the successful PAT. Later in the third quarter, the Bruins would hit pay dirt again when Pearman connected with Jace Mohr for a 32yard pass and touchdown.

The Bruins ran the PAT in for the two-point conversion and extended their lead to 18-7.

Danville seemed to not be able to get anything going after that except for a fleeting moment late in the final quarter when Payne completed a 65-yard pass to BJ Wuest who ran it in to the end zone and brought the Warriors to within 1813. Danville would have one more opportunity to complete the comeback after recovering a fumble by the Bruins. Unfortunately, Payne threw an interception with less than a minute to go, allowing Tri-West to take the victory formation and run the clock out.

Tri-West defeated Danville 18-13 to become Sectional Champions. Congratulations Bruins!

Congratulations Danville on another great season! Thank you Coach Comer for continuing the winning tradition for Danville Football.

It was the game we had all been waiting for since the start of the Sectional tournament. What was expected to be a rematch between rivals Tri-West Bruins and Danville Warriors came to fruition after both teams won their respective games in the previous weeks.

The anticipation was heavy and the excitement at high levels. Signs were placed along Danville streets and State Road 39, and perhaps served as a motivator for the visiting Bruins, with words of encouragement and last-minute well-wishes as the hometown Warriors hoped to continue their quest to

Lucas Oil Stadium. Would the anticipation translate to the football field? Would this be the last game for the 19 seniors that filled the Danville roster?

To say this game felt different throughout is an understatement. It did not start out that way, however, as the Danville defense put an early stop to the Tri-West offense and Kale Payne and his offense capped off their first possession with a 13yard touchdown pass to Tyler Dostin. The Warriors led 7-0 after the Caleb Harvey PAT. Little else would go right for Danville after that.

Tri-West took the lead for good when quarterback Jacob Pearman completed a 7-yard pass to Alex Covey

DCHS Girls Win Basketball Opener v. Perry Meridian

#11 Emma Ancelet scoring on fast break.

By David Winters The long wait is over.

In Indiana, as soon as the last game ends in a basketball season, the countdown to next season immediately begins.

That might be truer here in Danville than in any other place in the state. Danville Warrior fans have been spoiled with much success on the hardwood, for both girls and boys, over the past several years. They love their school and their basketball. They are ready for the 2021-2022 season to begin.

Last Thursday, the Lady Warriors tipped off their season and home schedule by welcoming the Perry Meridian Falcons to town. An impressive crowd had already gathered to take in the JV game just before the varsity game, which was a welcomed show of support to kick off another season.

The Lady Warriors controlled the tempo of this game from start to finish and there was no doubt that the visiting Falcon’s were out matched in every position. Danville scored in double figures in each quarter while holding Perry Meridian to single digits in every quarter. The home team won this one easily and started off the season on a positive note. The final score was Danville 53, Perry Meridian 26.

Senior Haley Godwin and Junior Isabelle Wooten led Danville in scoring with 15 points apiece. Wooten also hauled in 11 rebounds to complete her first double-double of the season.

Danville travelled to Hamilton Heights for a Saturday match up and unfortunately dropped that contest by a final score of 58-41. Godwin led the team in scoring with 12 points and Wooten pulled in another 11 rebounds in the loss.

Next up for Danville, and before this article goes to print, is a home game against University and then home for a game against Plainfield on Friday, November 12. ______________________________________________
