Traffic Safety Grants Awarded

By ICJI

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute awarded $6.5 million in traffic safety grants to more than 200 police departments throughout the state. The departments will use the funds to conduct overtime patrols and carry out strategies to address reckless driving in Indiana .

In Hendricks County, The police departments at Avon, Brownsburg, Danville, Pittsboro and Plainfield, as well as the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department received a total of $81,950.

In Indiana, traffic fatalities remain high and continue to exceed pre-pandemic levels. As of early October, a total of 683 people have been killed in crashes, preliminary data shows. Although this is around the same rate as in 2020, it represents a marked increase (8 percent) from 2019.

To address reckless driving, departments will use the funding to conduct “zero tolerance” overtime patrols and sobriety checkpoints, most of which will take place during dedicated enforcement periods throughout the year. The first one, starting in the next couple of weeks, is the Safe Family Travel campaign designed to cut down on impaired driving and promote seat belt use during the holiday season.

The grants were awarded in October using federal NHTSA funds. Visit www. cji.in.gov to learn more about the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. __________

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: County relics often are lost or forgotten, replaced, or inadvertently destroyed. Sometimes, people don’t know what they have – or had.

We’re occasionally left with early old-timer accounts.

Undergoing repairs in 1879, Robert Russel’s house on the Square’s east side reportedly was the first brick building in town. Built around 1829, for 30 years the relic was the post office.

Postmaster William S. Crawford would appear at a small window on the building’s west side and call out names of those receiving mail. Out-of-state mail cost 25 cents, which was more than some could afford. They’d have to wait and save before reading their letters.

The bench that shoemaker C. Guenther used once served as a blackboard which Henry Ward Beecher employed during Sunday School lessons. I think it was at the old Presbyterian Church north of the standpipe.

George Rich then used Beecher’s blackboard to display buckwheat (shape) notes in teaching music.

After that, Lena Miller used the blackboard to teach school in a private home. Afterward Guenther converted it to his bench. Boys abused it as a snow sled.

Speaking of relics, Bishop John Lancaster Spalding, addressing Notre Dame University commencement exercises in 1890, called “the present position of women . . . a relic of barbarism.” He advocated higher education for women and equal pay with men.

“He also condemned the saloon as a barbarous relic.”

Pittsboro carriage and school wagon manufacturer Charles Olsen in 1896 owned the former family carriage of Governor Oliver P. Morton. “It is a relic that should be preserved.” Olson also built two automobiles. James Hughes and Jasper Swain bought them.

When the former Courthouse was razed in 1912, the relic box within the cornerstone contained an account written on sheepskin parchment by Simon T. Hadley in June 1860.

It described histories of the local Masons, Odd Fellows and churches, and included personal notes from residents and Danville Academy students.

The Belleville homecoming in 1921 yielded two relics I doubt anyone could find now. A chair former state senator and representative Leander M. Campbell used when he taught school there – he arrived as a young man in the winter of 1852 – was shown by son-in-law Thad S. Adams.

Townspeople made the chair and presented it to Campbell, who paid 75 cents a week for room and board.

While prosecuting attorney beginning in 1854, Campbell earned no salary; instead, his income was derived entirely from fees yielded from convictions. I see motivation for aggressive prosecution.

During that homecoming, Fred Breedlove of Plainfield displayed a cane fashioned from a log from the Belleville log courthouse, built around 1823 for $147.

In 1920, Thomas Bence gave John W. Tinder’s Civil War musket to the Grand Army of the Republic relic room at the Courthouse. Tinder and his wife took Bence in when he was 14.

The room was set aside in the Courthouse in 1915 “to perpetuate the memory of the heroes of the Civil War.” The county commissioners had “in grateful recognition of the services and achievements” of Union Army and Navy veterans, declared the rooms were “irrevocably set apart as a Memorial Hall and Relic Room . . . for the sole use of the Grand Army of the Republic . . . and for all organizations which may hereafter be formed for the cultivation and promotion of patriotism.”

The location, at the first floor’s southwest corner, is now occupied by Superior Court 4 offices; they’re shown on the original floor plans.

The “most prized” relic was the group of photographs of Company A, 7th Indiana Volunteers, with half the 77 men from Danville.

Most of those donated relics are now at the county museum at 170 S. Washington St. Joe Hess, who ran the Danville Progress one door east of the Post Office at the Square’s southeast corner, displayed a slew of war relics in 1915. There was John Lewis’ saber, fashioned at his blacksmith forge, and “not much larger than a butcher knife.”

Seen through the show window, there was Jonathan S. Marshall’s saber from his days with the 21st Indiana Heavy Artillery, and his Spencer carbine.

William Selmire contributed the haversack, canteen and cartridge belt he carried for three years. Enoch V. McVay’s powder horn was displayed. He served four years.

Publisher’s Point of View Start Talking…

What is Critical Race Theory?

More specifically, what does critical race theory mean to those in our community expressing strong opinions about it? As a parent, it is a fair question. As anyone interested in the well-being of our next generation, it is a fair question.

In last week’s newspaper we told you about the two guest writers we invited to compose their thoughts on subjects that concern our community. In this week’s newspaper we are publishing their views on critical race theory being taught in public schools. You can find them on page 8.

An agreed upon topic was selected from a list. The intent was purposely not to be a point- counterpoint or a Lincoln-Douglas style debate to persuade. Fair warning: these are not toxic clickbait, adrenaline-rushing, hot-under-the-collar essays. Just a couple of opinions.

If you want to have fun, read each of these out loud to another person or group and discuss what each writer is wanting to convey to you. How do you feel about what they are saying? Did they give you pause or make you want to learn more about this? Have you discussed this with your kids? Hearing the words spoken out loud can give us a more robust understanding of what is being said.

Let us know your thoughts on this and if you would like to see our guests tackle another topic next month. They are willing and ready. ______________________________________________________________________

Letter to the Editor: Subject: Infrastructure Investments will strengthen Hoosier Communities We have seen the social media posts for years, “China invests in infrastructure while America wastes billions in Afghanistan.” There is some truth to this message, and we see the result in our communities every day.

Poor road maintenance costs Hoosiers $638 each year in additional costs(1). Broadband internet in rural Indiana communities is slow, unreliable, and sometimes unavailable. This lack of access to high-speed data impacts people that need remote health care, distance learning, and telecommuting job opportunities. Clean drinking water and sanitary waste systems need to be maintained and upgraded to handle the demand as we grow our communities.

Congress is addressing these problems by passing the Infrastructure and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684)(2). The Indiana Chamber of Commerce has estimated the funding being allocated in the next five years(3): $7 to $10 billion for Hoosier roads and bridges $680 million for public transportation $100+ million for electric vehicle charging infrastructure $100 million and income credits for high-speed internet $40+ million to protect Hoosiers from wildfires and cyber attacks $751 for drinking water infrastructure $170 million for airport improvements Our Democrat Representatives Andre’ Carson and Frank Mrvan voted YES. The following Indiana representatives voted NO to this bill: Senators Mike Braun and Todd Young and all of the Indiana House Republicans.

You may want to have a chat with them to express your support for Indiana infrastructure investments in the future.

At left: Originally, the library was located in the Avon High School building. At right: Remember this? Major renovations welcomed a new kids department in 2015 as well as updated furniture, carpeting and more.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson

In 2020, the Avon Washington Township Library marked their 100-year anniversary. They said goodbye to the Children’s Department Manager, Jennifer Worley in retirement. They built an outdoor area on the property and they’re continuing to grow.

All of these markers and celebrations were missed due to the pandemic and now, Darlyn Haskett, of the children’s department is set to retire by the end of this year.

Staff at the library aren’t going to let the year end without celebrating the two familiar faces that have seen generations of children come through the library doors. Last weekend, they held an open house in honor of both Haskett and Worley with refreshments and a special presentation.

Haskett served at the library for 23 years and Worley served for 25 years.

“They both came in at a point when we were really growing,” said Laurel Setser, Executive Director. “The addition in 1997 gave the children’s department a separate area. They were both instrumental in expanding the programming. Jennifer started doing baby story times all the way to teen programming. They were the backbone of that department and the way it is today.”

While the two women are excited for a new chapter, it’ll be difficult walking away from their other family at the library.

“Working with the kids was a passion for us both and we always tried to make coming to the library a fun learning experience for the kids,” Worley said.

Haskett recalled highlights throughout her career, ranging from outreach programs with Avon’s kindergartners through the school system, to picnics and story times.

“It was always the highlight of my day when they came to the library for story time and checked out books each month. The library has and will continue to make positive changes to benefit our community, but the commitment to our children has always been a top priority for me and I’m so blessed to have been a part of that,” Haskett said.

The library has been in existence since 1920 and was housed in the Avon school system until the late 1950’s.

From there, the library moved to several store front locations along U.S. 36 and built the original building they’re in now in 1983.

“We had an addition put on in 1997, updates to that addition in 2005, a remodel in 2015 and updated all of the office spaces among other improvements in 2019. The key, is to stay relevant and to share with the community

Walmart Donates to Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry

Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has received a $5,000 grant from Walmart 6955 to support its “Meat” the Need initiative.

According to Feeding America, approximately 13,300 Hendricks County residents regularly struggle with food insecurity – 3,740 of which are children. Deb Treesh, Executive Director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, said that the funds received will be used to pay processing fees on donated livestock and deer, with the meat being given to agencies serving food-insecure residents within Hendricks County.

“To donate, farmers and hunters just need to take their livestock or deer to a local participating meat processor (call ahead to schedule livestock). After processing, local food banks and pantries are called to pick up the donation,” said Amber Zecca, Fund Development DIrectior of Hoosier Feeding the Hungry. “There is absolutely no charge to the livestock and deer donors.”

“This Walmart’s contribution will allow us to continue and expand on our mission of hunger relief by providing 8,000 more meals through local hunger relief agencies. We are so grateful for the continued support of our efforts in responding to the needs of those in the community facing hunger.” said Debra Treesh, Executive Director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry.

To learn more about about Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, www.HoosiersFeedingtheHungry.org or call (260)233-1444.

Founded in 2011, Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has paid to process almost 2 million pounds of meaT, providing over 7.9 million meals. Partnering with 85 meat processors statewide, the organization gives approximately 250,000 pounds of meat annually to an average of 500 hunger relief agencies throughout Indiana. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry accepts donations and is always looking for volunteers to help efforts to reduce food insecurity throughout Indiana. For more information, visit www.

the things we have they may want to use. The children’s programming is huge and we have study rooms and phenomenal databases for the community,” Setser said.

The library is and has always been a plethora of resources to the community and they aren’t stopping anytime soon. Not only do they have a large historical collection of photographs, letters, documents and more, they also have plenty of online resources the community can access from the library or their home.

“Gale Courses is virtual, online classes with live instructors where people can earn certificates. We have a database for business, whether looking for one or staring one and we even have the digital media collection that shares instructional information,” Setser said.

The adult reference staff is standing by, ready to help library patrons work through the information online, sign up for a class or guide one through the process of searching for jobs online and more.

Through the continuing growth and saying goodbye to long-time staff, the library continues to serve the community is a variety of ways and like Worley and Haskett, they are making a positive difference for the patrons that visit.

“There were so many things we didn’t get to do last year, but hopefully someday soon we’ll be able to celebrate and look back and be proud of our accomplishments,” Setser said.

Thinking of Jim Basham, Bella and Luna, Sonnie Johnston and her fry baby, Buddy, our loved ones in nursing homes and care: Marcia Sowders, Gerald Whiles, Mary Lou Morris, Rita Lieske, Barbara Porter, Linda Keeney and all others, Dan Brown.

Sometimes a call will help. _____ Cornerstone Ceremony for new addition to North Salem Elementary was well attended by many on Saturday. Many of the past students, friends, and Masonic personnel met at the Town Park and paraded to the building. There were already many assembled at the meeting in the gym.

A time honored Masonic tradition dating back centuries, the ceremony served to traditionally commemorate and celebrate important buildings and the communities they serve.

The current structure was nearing 100 years and has undergone many changes and improvements.

The North Salem Elementary has been identified as a 4 Star school with an A rating, and a National Blue Ribbon School and has been named by U.S. News and Report as a Top 10 Indiana Elementary School.

We, as former students and all citizens of North Salem thank the many who have and continue to make us very proud of our community school.

Good to have Delores Shelton drop by. She is doing OK. Happy to have granddaughter Karla Carter visit - had a real nice catch up time.

Other “notables”: Gene McCullough, Robb Daffenbaugh, Riley Chaney, Alta Trump, Mark Basham, Kevin Basham, Karen & Rick Hardman, Betty Bartley (who forgot her pie and cake dessert). So many that helped with fall work, brought food, and some guardian angels. Thanks, everyone! ______ Downtown looking very pretty. Don’t forget the Eel River Twp. Fire Dept.’s Chili Supper Saturday evening, Nov. 20, at the Community Building. Also hot dogs, chips, desserts on the menu. ______ Just not really looking forward to cold, snow, etc.

Guess that goes with being older. Didn’t used to stop us from getting out and going - rain, sleet, or snow!

Don’t fore get to give someone a call of remembrance. These cold, gloomy days get awfully long for many. A cheerful call can help. _____ Past Memories Do you remember a certain Christmas? Being a child of about six, I can still remember the one Christmas. We lived at Jamestown, Ind., just down the hill from the school. From a family of five children during the Depression, what could we have? Going into the dining room, pretty tree with 3 dolls one in a pink dress, one with a blue dress, and one in white dress. That is all I remember seeing. Older sister Katty, myself, and younger sister Nonie - I do not remember anything for older sisters and brother or parents. Was happy didn’t need anything else.

Do know I carried mine to school later and while running down the lane with blanket blowing off, my sister say,” You’re going to be in trouble for not taking care of y our doll!” Nowadays they given the their many extra toys away! _________

Thanks, Come Hang Out Store

Thanks, Come Hang Out Store, for over 17 years of hospitality to North Salem residents and the many other townspeople of nearby - Roachdale, Lizton, Danville, Pittsboro, Jamestown, Clayton - who supported this endeavor. Thanks to Joyce Greene, Linda Simon, and to the many volunteers over the years. They will be greatly missed. Thanks to everyone who supported the store with donations, help, and more. You will be missed. Many issues, health concerns, increased cost for heat, etc., illness and lack of enough help was taken into consideration.

They will be missed by any, but the time was right.

Thanks everyone - and God’s blessings to all.

For 86 years, it was a symbol of the “capitol” of Eel River Township, a part of the downtown vista, and sign to traveling North Salemites that they were back home. The old water tower is now lives on in memory.

The new water tower, located in the Town Park, is bigger and better, and has a regal appearance of its own, although some residents wish the lettering was larger.

The Town of North Salem will continue to use the stylized image of the old water on its website, as a tribute to its past.

A part of the old tower still lives on in North Salem. See that little “ball” at the top of the drawing?

When they were getting ready to take down the tower, a prominent citizen requested a souvenir. That metal ball now has a place of honor in that resident’s yard, where it will continue to represent “The small town community with a big heart.” ______________________________________________

Exploring Hendricks County

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

Gratitude and Your Mental Health

What did we do before selfies?

A Thousand Words

There’s an adage, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” If that’s true, the Horns are probably some of the wordiest people on Earth! John loves taking pictures of the grandkids, of me, of scenery, of just about anything.

Literally, tens of thousands of images are stored on our computer. We pay an annual fee to save them off-site too, in case a hard drive fails, fire or flood, or any other disaster strikes. Our photos are some of our most valuable possessions.

John and I are old enough to remember when Brownies weren’t just a tasty cookie bar. We know what flashbulbs and cubes are and used them. We understand Paul Simons, “Kodachrome” lyrics. Back when we were young, you had to PAY for film to take pictures. You had to PAY to have them developed and it wasn’t cheap. It took a week to get them back! You paid even for the shots that were blurry or had your thumb in them. When digital cameras came out, they offered an astounding 1.8- megapixel image. The camera required a floppy disc. The pictures were available to view immediately. Bad shots could be erased before they were printed. It was a technological marvel!

Today the device I carry around in my pocket to make phone calls takes 12-megapixel images. It shoots video and has special effects like slow motion too. John’s newest camera shoots 32 megapixels and the images are amazing.

John’s current camera is a Canon 90D. John has patience.

He makes adjustments. He changes lenses. He twists dials and turns rings. It means nothing to me. It’s a big, black camera. I have zero patience. I want to point and click. I shoot photos using an iPhone 11. Are my photos as fabulous as his? Nope. Do I care? Not usually. If a UFO landed in the backyard right this minute, who do you think would get the best picture?

Neither John nor I am a professional photographer. We do have loads of experience. I thought I’d pass along a few tips on taking photographs.

Tip #1: The best camera is the one you have with you.

Like UFOs, kids don’t always hold their adorable poses for long. A fancy camera takes time to get out of the bag, assemble and set up. John likes to take his camera on our adventures. The camera isn’t exactly lightweight. He keeps it around his neck just in case something spectacular happens, like the bear crossing our bike path. He plans ahead to take photos of butterflies and bees so he’s all set up for it. The pictures he takes are gorgeous. He can zoom in to capture the hairs on a bee’s legs or a bear’s eyelashes.

But life isn’t always planned. When it comes to that quick moment of awesome kid cuteness or the alien beaming out of its spaceship, I’ll be ready to whip out my phone and capture that moment because I always have my phone with me.

Photograph of the photographerl

Tip #2: A photograph will never capture the true image your eyes see. The human eye is a miracle. No camera, even with 32 megapixels, can replicate the real thing.

With photo editing programs, people can try to perfect the image, but it just doesn’t cut it. And that’s OK. Photographs shouldn’t be about duplicating the beauty but capturing the memory. The real beauty of that instant will be in your mind. The photo helps you recall that magical instant whether it’s the sun beaming down on an autumn landscape or a baby’s smile.

Tip #3: A photograph doesn’t have to be perfect.

I hate to tell you how many pictures I’ve taken of my thumb. With today’s photo editing programs, a less-thanperfect picture can be saved. A little cropping and the offending appendage is history. Red eyes from looking at the flash, gone. Too light or too dark, a few clicks and it’s fixed. Some photographic issues can’t be easily remedied but that doesn’t mean the picture shouldn’t be saved. With eight grandkids, there is always the one who has their eyes closed, is making a face, or crying (sometimes all different kids in one shot.) There’s no way to “fix” the photo. I keep them anyway because like I said in Tip #2, it’s about preserving the memory….and future blackmail.

Football or soccer games, band concerts, John rarely leaves his camera at home if there’s a grandchild around.

Tip #4: Don’t keep your pictures just digitally. Make prints from some of your photos. Back in the day, the joke was if you asked about someone’s kids, they’d pull out a photo album and start showing you hundreds of photos.

With Facebook, Instagram, and other social media sites, everyone posts pictures but no one makes hard copies.

John and I have photo albums for each grandchild from the day they were born to the present. We make it a point to print a few pictures every year and add them to the albums. All the kids, even the oldest ones, love to look at their books and see themselves through the years. When we’re gone, those albums will be theirs. I’m betting their kids will love looking at them too.

Go ahead and click away. The “film” is cheap and the memories are priceless.

JUST AN OBSERVATION

By Janet Beam

WHEN IS IT MY TURN?

I remember many years ago, my dear mother-in-law said to me after my father-in-law had somewhat retired that she realized women never truly get to retire. How true!

She lived her life as a stay-at-mom home to three rambunctious boys. She cooked three meals a day for almost every day of her life. She was an outstanding cook; therefore, her husband never wanted to eat out. She dutifully planned those three meals a day with lots of variety She got me to thinking. When husbands retire, most of them still keep somewhat busy around the house mowing the yard, raking leaves, watching sports on TV, playing golf, puttering with this and that. However, when a woman reaches retirement age (whenever that may be), nothing really changes. If she had a job outside of the home, that may stop, but everything else continues. All the housecleaning, the laundry, the cooking, the dishwashing, the window washing, the grocery shopping just goes on, and on and on! Sure there may be time for some trips here and there, but, let’s face it, a woman’s work is never done.

No matter whether she is 35, 48, 56, 68, 77, 85, or 99, if she still has a house to maintain the work goes on. Now I don’t mind the housekeeping aspect, but boy does that cooking get old!

So husbands, if you are not doing so now, step in there and lend a hand. It will be much appreciated! But what I wouldn’t give for a personal chef!

A Note From Bee I was named Bee after my mother. I immediately became Little Bee to family and family friends. Fortunately, my friends never knew my nickname. When I was much, much older I did share with some of my friends my nickname. A friend commented that she was the baby of the family. When the family got together they still called her Baby well into her 60’s . By that time the older members of the family had died.

I wish when I was about six years old, my family and their friends would have dropped “Little.” When I called my immediate family I could just say this is Bee calling.

Anyone else, if I said Bee, they thought it was my mother.

So then I would say, “No, Little Bee.” When the older members of the family and friends died, I thought that would be the end of Little Bee. Oh, no!

When I was about 50, a cousin who was about 25 introduced me as Little Bee. Fortunately she moved to California and she hasn’t kept in touch with the family. ______________________________________________ Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

I love November. November brings us cooler wind, warmer drinks, more colorful trees, and fonder get-togethers with family. It truly is one of my favorite times of year, perhaps even more-so this year due to missing everything due to the pandemic last year. Yet, despite my heightened awareness of all this goodness, I still hear myself complaining about this or that at the end of the day. This complaining is starting bum me out. Can you relate?

We’re all prone to complaining sometimes. It’s been a difficult couple of years for us, to say the least! However, there is a strong body of scientific research that suggests complaining, and posturing and general orientation of complaint toward one’s life, can actually contribute to symptoms of anxiety and depression. As a person who is already prone to anxiety and depression, I certainly don’t want to be hurting my chances of feeling better by complaining!

I believe the missing key for me, and perhaps for all of us, is gratitude. November is a season of gratitude! We are even blessed with an entire holiday dedicated to giving thanks.

From day to day, there are so many people, places, and things we take for granted, rarely expressing our thankfulness for them. Family members, close friends, partners, kids, jobs with decent income, opportunities to rest, another day sober, fun hobbies, a warm and dry place to call “home”, even the breath in our lungs -- the list of what we could be grateful for is endless.

There’s also a strong body of scientific research that suggests that practicing daily gratitude can actually improve your mental health and quality of life! One such study, completed cooperatively by the University of Miami and the University of California, tested the effectiveness of daily gratitude practice. In the study, one group of people wrote a few things they were grateful for down in a journal each day. Another group of people wrote a few complaints down in their journals each day. A third group did not journal at all, as control in the experiment.

The researchers found that the group of people that kept a daily gratitude journal felt “more optimistic and better about their lives” – and on top of this, the group was also much more likely to exercise and got sick less often than the other two groups.

So, what are you grateful for today? I challenge you to practice expressing thankfulness by beginning a brief gratitude journal today. Each day, write down 3 things you are grateful for, and why you are grateful for them. A single sentence for each thing will suffice. By the end of the month of November, if it’s working as well for you as it has been working for me, just keep it going for the rest of the year. Here’s to improved moods and more positive outlooks on our daily lives! ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Listen,” Archy said.

I didn’t hear anything. “Listen to what?,” I asked.

“Exactly,” the squirrel said. “When I said, ‘listen,’ you did the opposite. You talked. I really get a kick out of you humans.”

That’s when I got it. People don’t take the time to listen to one another, they’re compelled to fill the space with talk.

Archy raised a tiny eyebrow. “So, you’re starting to understand. Good. Listening is the best tool you have to communicate with each other, but the least used.”

This time I was listening. Taking in what was said without getting my mouth in gear. I felt like I was suddenly standing in the middle of a field of ideas.

The squirrel chuckled. “Quite a feeling, isn’t it? It’s like art - you have positive space and negative space, and to make it work you have to find the right balance.”

I suddenly pictured Archy with a tiny beret standing at an easel and was silenced by the sheer cuteness of it.

“Snap out of it,” he barked. “I was trying to make a point. You have to listen to what the other person is saying, and then listen to what you’re thinking about before you say it. That way you’re learning about them and learning about yourself at the same time.”

He was right. I recalled so many instances of people arguing by talking over each other.

“Yes,” Archy said proudly. “You’re getting the hang of it. You can’t make a point if no one listens to it. And no one will listen to your point if they think you didn’t listen to theirs. Letting the words sink in, I think you call it.

This time I listened to the squirrel and really heard what he said and understood what he meant.

“Exactly,” I said.

Time to Get Crafty and Creative With Gourds

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

My Favorite Story Dried Lagenaria gourds make cozy and natural bird houses. ____________________________________________________

Growing ornamental gourds with their funky shaped fruits for decorations or crafts is fun and easy.

When should you harvest them? The best way to tell if a gourd is ready to harvest is by look and feel. The vine will begin to die back and the skin of the gourd will be hard and pale.

An immature gourd feels fleshy and is bright green. Do Not pick!

Some people harvest before the first frost to save the seeds for next year. Others leave them on the vine to dry, even after a hard freeze. Frosts damages immature fruits, these would rot anyway, Cut gourds from vine with sharp pruners, leaving two inches of stem intact, no pulling or twisting them off. The little bit of stem is important as it helps with evaporation of water. Gourds are about 90 percent water, as they dry moisture escapes through both the porous skin and the stem.

Wipe down with diluted bleach water or soapy water or do nothing at all. Dry gourds where there is good air circulation. I dried mine in horse barn.

Drying length of time depends on size of the gourd, 1-6 months. Just leave them alone. A crust of mold is normal.

Wash gourd with soapy water with a steel wool pad to remove. Then let dry. A light sanding of shell prepares the gourd for painting, varnishing or waxing.

Some Things to Do with… Gourds Make a birdhouse, hang on a garland, make a lantern or a canteen, fill with wax add a wick and have a lovely gourd candle.

The key to harvesting and drying gourds is simple.

Just grow and they will dry all by themselves!

Johnny’s Selected Seeds has an excellent selection of ornamental gourd seed. Why not try some next year?

Make a garland of gourds to decorate you mantle. Leave them natural or paint them, they make a great fall statement. ___________________________________________________

This time of year we switch out our old decorative squash for a new one - It’s the traditional changing of the gourd.

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.]

I think it’s a great idea to remind people that shelter dogs are out there, just waiting to find forever homes. Since I was a shelter dog myself, I know what it’s like to sit there, watching humans walk by as they look at all of the dogs and then pick one, but it isn’t you. I watched a lot of humans go by before my humans found me and I found them.

If any of you humans are thinking about getting a dog, look at shelter dogs before you buy a puppy at a pet store.

If the puppy came from a puppy mill (most of them do), it might have all kinds of weird things wrong that won’t show up until later. I feel sorry for those puppies. They were born and raised in awful places. They are treated real bad and may not live long, healthy lives. And by buying them, humans are actually supporting those puppy mills.

At shelters, the cute puppies they get in are picked first.

The dogs who really need help are the grown-up ones at shelters everywhere. But, lots of humans don’t want an adult dog. And that’s something else I don’t understand.

At a shelter, they could spend some time with a dog they might want and see what it’s like. They can play with it and figure out if its personality will fit with theirs.

A lot of times, shelter dogs are already house-broken, too. Someone has taken care of the dog and trained it.

Maybe humans turn in dogs once in a while because they are tired of them , but sometimes the dog’s human dies or gets sick or can’t take care of a dog any longer. So, the dog ends up at a shelter.

You have to remember that we come from wolves, so we are social animals. We want to be part of a group, even if the other members are humans. We can’t stand to live alone. And in shelters, we are alone. We are separated from the other dogs. For us, that’s awful. We need to be with company. And humans want company, too! Doesn’t that work out great? Don’t shop. ADOPT! Thought for the Day: Remember what Henry said.

The wonderful adult dogs who are stuck in shelters need homes. They are too precious a resource to waste. Visit a shelter. Find a life-long friend. ______________________________________________

useful tips for homeowners

Last Thursday was Veterans Day and I thought I would share with you my favorite Military Story. If you are ever talking to a Vet, ask him to tell you his favorite story. A big smile will appear and he will tell you, in minute detail, the story. My story takes place in Sembach, Germany. I had been there for a year and had received orders to come back to the States. The words used are, “I was a short-timer.

When you are short, you don’t have to look so sharp.”

We received word that a General was coming to visit and everyone went crazy. Our operations was in an old WW2 Hangar on the flight line. Our First Sergeant immediately put us on duty rosters for cleaning, painting, etc. I remember my first job was to shine the brass door knobs on all the doors. I was then put on the pigeon droppings clean up crew.

The big day came and the First Sergeant had us all fall out for inspection. Needless to say, I and the other short-timers did not pass inspection. He tells us to go over to the Airport Terminal and stay in the coffee shop until the General leaves. “Oh, darn,” was our reply. We went over, got a stale donut and a Stars and Stripes newspaper and settled in.

The General arrives, steps off his airplane, salutes the Base Commander, and walks right into the snack bar.

Someone calls us to attention and he replies “As you were.” He then proceeds to go around the room talking to every one there, including us short-timers. He then gets on his airplane and leaves.

After he is gone we go back to the Hanger. Our Sergeant gets all upset because we were suppose to stay away until the General leaves. He just about has a big one when he finds out the General is gone. We had the last laugh.

In the mood for local news?

The Dishwasher Clean the Cleaning Machine I had the pleasure of building my own home almost 11 years ago, so all my appliances seem to be fairly new. (As we get older time does appear to move faster) But a couple of weeks ago when my dishwasher failed to function, I suddenly recalled in our inspection reports we have this design life statement that says the typical industry standard for a dishwasher is 10 – 15 years. Eleven years and it was done. Luckily, I was able to order a new circulating pump and do some repairs to kick this investment down the road. But that isn’t why I’m writing about dishwashers; it is the surprise I found while changing the pump I want to talk about. Cleaning a dishwasher? Who knew the machine built to clean our dishes needs cleaned itself? Here is what I learned: First, always remove any bits of food or debris from the bottom of the dishwasher between washes. Typically, there is a screen at the bottom of the dishwasher that keeps large items from lodging in the pumps. Even though the advertisements show those extremely dirty dishes going into the dishwasher and coming out sparkling clean, we should always scrape any solid particles from the dishes before putting them in for cleaning.

Second, weekly we should wipe down the door gasket.

There are those corners and crevices that catch dirt and grim around the rubber seal, tending to build-up and cause an odor. Before you throw the dish rag into the laundry, take a good swipe around the rubber gasket making sure it is clean.

Here is the one that surprised me; my dishwasher had a second, finer filter that cleaned the re-circulating water used over and over during the wash cycle. In 2013 standards called for dishwashers to reduce the amount of water they used from the typical 10 gallons per load down to 5 gallons. Energy saving models on the market will use as little as 3 gallons per washing. This means the water is circulated several times during each cycle. With the reuse of water to clean the dishes, the water is circulated through a fine filter that collects particles, minerals, and soap residue. Being an energy savings washer, my recirculating filter had become clogged and restricted the water flow to the pump. This was most likely the cause for the pump failing. The moral to the story is the secondary filter should have been cleaned at least monthly. In the flurry of manuals with a new home, I missed that one.

Don’t just wipe down the exterior of the dishwasher.

Take the time to remove the bottom rack and give the inside a good cleaning, filters, and all. Kick the possible expense further down the road! ______________________________________________

Cattle Drive on Broadway

A Quaker Pastor Looks at Critical Race Theory

At the round table, left to right: Jerry Vornholt, David Winters, and Philip Gulley

A Quaker, an accountant, and a newspaper publisher walked into a local restaurant.

That’s how the story started and what follows is not the end, but hopefully a beginning.

We have noticed a tone in much of modern social media that bothers us. The angry comments fired back and forth, the divisions that turn reasonable people into tribal warriors, would appear to be undoing the ties that have bound our society together.

We hope you will read both contributions with an open mind and genuine effort to understand that “the other side” isn’t an enemy. We welcome your comments, but please keep them brief and don’t try to start an indignation thread. If you have topics for future essays, let us know.

We hope you enjoy this experiment.

Does CRT belong in K-12 Education

By David Winters The happenings in public schools have garnered the attention of headlines across the nation over the past several weeks. Much of the discussion started out with parents pushing back on covid protocols but has since morphed into a deeper dive into the curriculum that is utilized in the daily education of our children.

The topic of Critical Race Theory (CRT) truly needs a much more in-depth discussion than what an opinion piece in a newspaper can provide. My hope is that what is written will spark an interest and a motivation for the reader to do more research and come to their own conclusions.

According to Kimberle Crenshaw, who coined the phrase Critical Race Theory, CRT “…critiques how the social construction of race and institutionalized racism perpetuate a racial caste system that relegates people of color to the bottom tiers,” according to an article by Janel George on the americanbar.org web site.

However, many have argued, and I agree, that CRT is dangerous to our kids. I recently attended an event sponsored

by Cure America Action and Life Church in Noblesville, Indiana on November 1. This event was hailed as a Town Hall on Race-Based Education. The featured speaker was Marc Little, who is an African-American pastor out of Los Angeles and also launched the Cure America Action organization. Much of his time was spent on the pitfalls of what we now know as CRT. He did not mince words. “It is a cancer on the hearts and on the minds of our little ones,” as he described that evening.

At its very core, CRT teaches that the problems in minority communities is the result of inequity perpetrated, primarily, by white men. It also implies that we have to lower expectations of minority students in order to eliminate perceived inequities in our educational institutions. I agree with Little when he said that CRT is “an intentional division by identity politics.” This attempt, in my opinion, is the soft bigotry of low expectations.

I do not claim to be an expert on race relations. However, what I do believe I have a good handle on is that we are all God’s children. We live in a nation that provides opportunity for all. I am not saying that we have been perfect; we all certainly acknowledge the sin of slavery and racism.

We have gone away from the dream of Dr. King when he said that he wanted to live in a nation where his children “will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

We should not have any curriculum in school that lowers the expectations and standards for any child, regardless of color or gender, or that identifies people as oppressors and oppressed. Critical Race Theory has no business being part of the K-12 educational standards, or material that is taught in the classroom. I believe that all children are capable of excellence if we give them the tools to succeed.

Online revision 11/19/21

When I first met my wife, almost 40 years ago, I was careful not to tell her how many women I had dated for fear of losing her affection. Though to be honest, most of my previous relationships went no further than a first date, the women realizing life with me would not improve their current circumstances. Eventually, my wife learned my full history and with that knowledge decided to marry me anyway.

America is reckoning with its own history these days, some fearing that full disclosure of our past racial misdeeds might somehow cripple the admiration we feel for our nation. This reckoning is called critical race theory and is the ongoing effort to better understand how racism shapes our nation’s public policy, past and present. Some, of course, welcome this light, believing it essential for our nation’s growth and well-being. Others fear it, worrying it will cause our children to despise not only our heritage, but our nation.

As one who has feared full disclosure, I understand their concern, but I’m for letting the sun of awareness shine brightly on all our history, good or bad. If our ancestors committed a wrong that benefits us and plagues others, we are morally committed to setting matters right. Just as Jesus commanded the man with two coats to give one to the man with none, so too are we called to help those left cold by the bitter winds of racism.

YI’m curious if those who object to a full telling of our nation’s history, complain when their children are taught about the British suppression of our nation’s founders?

Do they point out our liberation happened over two hundred years ago, was old news, and had no place in modern curriculum? Do they demand we scrub that story from America’s textbooks now that Britain is our ally, and we are free? Probably not. Instead, they have likely favored a fuller study of that era, which might well be appropriate.

But while our children are learning of one tyranny, they should learn of another—the enslavement of Black Americans and their continued struggle for equality.

After graduating from high school, I applied for a job at Public Service Indiana. When I arrived for my interview, I was seated in a room with a young Black man, about my age. I was interviewed first. The interviewer looked up from my application and asked if I were related to Gloria Gulley. I told him she was my mother. He said, “The job is yours,” then went to the next room to tell the other applicant the job was taken. As it turned out, the interviewer’s children attended the private school where my mother served as principal. Though I didn’t appreciate it at the time, I now realize that position, which launched my college career, my relationship with my wife, and my IRA, was a direct consequence of my race, for in the 1960’s and 1970’s it would have been unthinkable to install a Black woman as principal of a private school in Plainfield. And so, my upward mobility was secured while his plateaued.

It is why the average Black family in America has only 10% of the wealth of the average white family, which is why I can only assume that those who oppose critical race theory are content to let white people do what they wish while Black people suffer what they must. _____________________________________________

In the early days of Danville, livestock bound for sale were driven through town on foot. Last week, a full-size semi, loaded with cattle, tried to maneuver the turn at Broadway and Bowen, which lacks an adequate turn lane for oversize vehicles. It took three of Danville’s finest to rescue the driver and help to make the turn. There was some property damage when the semi attempted to follow Broadway east towards the wastewater plant.

Thanks to the reader who captured the incident on camera. Hopefully, the problem will be addressed in the Town’s new Comprehensive Plan by added a future bypass or catttled trail. ______________________________________________

Cooper’s Hawk Comes to Avon

The scratch kitchen at Cooper’s Hawk is behind a clear pane of glass, parallel to the dining room.

By Melissa Gibson Since 2005, CEO of Cooper’s Hawk and Purdue alum, Tim McEnery has been bringing the combination of specialty wine and classic food to your table and with 47 locations on the map, Avon can now count themselves as one of them.

Each location has a different design, with a different architect, creating the interior and exterior of the building to fit the community they’re joining.

The growing community of Hendricks County hasn’t seen anything quite like this experience and many are excited to try the Napa-style tasting room and casual dining.

“Part of our founder’s mission is to bring the wine country to markets that may not have that access. You can find something like this in the big cities but not in some other areas. Driving around Hendricks County, it’s such a great area and it totally makes sense why we’re here,” said Ami Vanderhoof, Marketing Manager.

Master Sommelier Emily Wines is one of only 149 in the country to earn the distinction of Master Sommelier and has worked with McEnery to create unique experiences with the Wine Club at Cooper’s Hawk.

“A lot of wines can compete with the food, but we believe the food should make the wine taste better and the wine should make the food taste better. So, we start with a great wine and then make the food that goes well with that,” Wines said. “We want to share with people the experience of matching the perfect food with the perfect wine.”

With nearly 350,000 members in the Wine Club, participants are offered 12 limited-production blends each year, special members-only pricing and travel opportunities.

Private events are offered and hosted by experts in the industry including, Gail Simmons, Fabio Viviani and Tyler Florence.

Customers can pair the perfect dish with the perfect wine at Cooper’s Hawk. ____________________________________________________

“When you make two good things great, the great food and great wine together is magical,” said General Manager Carlos Robles. “The tasting room gives you a chance to try a couple of wines before sitting down and ordering one with your meal.”

The company prides itself on pairing wine and classic meals. ____________________________________________________

Visit the wine tasting room prior to taking a table. ___________________________________________________

Walking into the front doors at Cooper’s Hawk, guests are greeted in front of a large tasting room. Attendants can talk you through the profiles of each of their wines and which goes best with each dish in the dining room.

Dining options include a full-working bar with wines on tap, tasting opportunities and more. If you’d prefer to eat in the dining room, guests are treated with an open area scratch kitchen, seen through a glass partition while waiting for your meal. A private dining room is also available for parties and other events.

The menu offers 110 items and each is paired with a wine, suggested by the winemaker. For example, the baked parmesan shrimp scampi is paired best with Chardonnay but the Classic Cheeseburger is paired best with red wine, Old Vine Zin. Cooper’s Hawk officially opened Nov. 15 at 8696 E. U.S. Highway 36, Avon. Visit https://chwinery.com for more information.

Connection Pointe Partners with Brownsburg Parks for Yuletide Festival

The Yuletide Festival was built from a desire to serve the community. You can register online for events throughout the month ___________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Members of the community may have caught an evening of ice skating or a drive-in movie at Brownsburg’s Connection Pointe Christian Church last year during their Christmas celebration, but this year, the fun, family-focused experience is growing by leaps and bounds.

Connection Pointe has partnered with the Brownsburg Parks and Rec department to bring three full weekends of unique and holiday-themed activities to the community.

Events that have been put on by the Town in years past will be intertwined with new events and all of the fun will take place on the church property.

“This is our second Yuletide Festival but the first time at this magnitude,” said Denise McCleese, Director of Strategy and Engagement at Connection Pointe. “I would call last year a soft launch. When 2020 was so dark, leading up to December, we started dreaming of something like this. We realized last year that this was really something great for our commu-

nity. Every one of our slots for ice skating was filled and tons of people came out for the drive-in movies.

We began planning for this year with a true partnership with the parks department.”

McCleese said both groups found they had a similar goal – to serve the families in the community and to be a bright spot during the winter months.

On Sat., Dec. 4 the festival will kick off with the annual Christmas Under the Stars Parade in Brownsburg. This year however, the finale will take place at Connection Pointe with the official Town lighting and pictures with Santa.

The evening will include a petting zoo, ice skating (register for this event), and a drive-in movie, “Polar Express” at 8 p.m.

“We will march in the parade with the town and we, here at Connection Pointe go all out with the lighting as well, so we’ll have some caroling and the official kick-off to the events that evening,” McCleese said.

The parade route begins at 6 p.m. at Brown Elementary School, North on Eastern Ave. to Main St., West

on Main to Green St. and north on Green St. to Enderly Ave. On Dec. 5, the petting zoo and ice skating will be available as well as an indoor movie targeted for the seniors in the community, “White Christmas” at 2 p.m.

Dec. 11 and 18 includes character breakfasts at 10 a.m. where families can meet the Grinch (Dec. 11) and Frozen characters (Dec. 18). The last day of the festival, guests will be treated with a firework show, reindeer visits and movies.

Throughout the weeks, varying times and dates are offered for ice skating, movies, a train ride experience, curling tournaments and other events.

McCleese said the sheer size of their facility helps accommodate the community with indoor lines, space for the character breakfasts and the many volunteers it takes to put on such an experience.

“It’ll take over 700 volunteers to pull this off and we’ve been working with a leadership team of 45 people, who have taken certain events throughout the weekends. It’s really been like leveraging an army and of course, the parks department has been involved in all the meetings and planning,” McCleese said.

Though the events will take place on church property, the festival is open to any and all members of the community, regardless of religious affiliation.

“We’re blessed to have the campus and facility we have and it’s an opportunity to share this with the community. We are unapologetically about Jesus and I think guests will realize the core of who we are, but we share our mission by loving our neighbors and community,” McCleese said. “We are a large church in this community and we want to be valued, whether you attend here or not. If we closed our doors tomorrow, we want the community to miss us. We don’t want to be so inwardly focused, so we look for ways to impact the schools, healthcare and neighbors.”

Connection Pointe has been working with the Hendricks County health department and at this time, masks will not be required.

There will be masks available for those that need one and sanitizing stations throughout the campus. In addition, the majority of the events will occur outdoors, making it a great place to gather fre holiday fun.

Visit BrownsburgChristmas.com for the entire schedule and registration for certain events throughout the month.

Printing was a complicated process, as Jerry Vornholt explains the workings of a 19th century platen press to the DCMS students. _____________________________________________________________________________

Conner Kinkle, member of Boy Scout Troop 350, came to the American Legion Post 118 at Danville and asked if there was a project they needed help with.

The answer was the piece of artillary that commands attention in front of the Legion Hall. For his Eagle Scout project, Conner spent 120 hours over three months to restore the cannon and its setting. The metal was sandblasted, primed and painted. The concrete pads in which it sat were replace with new ones. The timbers framing the area were replaced and the gravel bed weeded.

On Veterans Day, the Legion rededicated the monument with a 21-gun salute and sounding of taps. They presented Conner with a certificate of appreciation for his hard work.

Conner is a senior at Cascade High Scholl and the son of Don and Andrea Kinkle. He’s spent 12 years in scouting, 10 years in 4-H, and hopes find an electical apprenticeship when he graduates. ______________________________________________

Be Informed.

Read the Public Notice Section Each Week in

The Republican

Last week, Danville Middle School teacher Mrs. McRoberts stopped by with a small group of her students. They wanted to learn a little bit about an old-fashioned way of communicating to the community. The all but forgotten forerunner of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram all rolled up in one. We call it a “newspaper.”

The name kind of says it all. Local news all inked up and printed on some paper. Newspaper. Brilliant.

These whippersnappers really seemed to enjoy learning about the history of The Republican and they really liked learning about the equipment that was once used to print the newspaper right there in the building.

The history and the equipment are fun but the reason we have the cool equipment and the unparalleled history of Hendrick County on our shelves is because of what the newspaper is to a community. It is a record of events. It is a celebration of achievements. It is an announcement of marriages and children. It is a remembrance of those that have passed.

It is a receptacle of lessons learned, both hard and fruitful. It is a voice, and for those who produce it, it is a responsibility.

It’s hard to say how much these young future leaders will take away from this almost insignificant field trip to see the old dorky way of spreading the news, but one thing is certain. The pages of this old-fashioned, unsexy newspaper will be there to celebrate their achievements and their parents will come in to buy extra copies.

And 100 years from now, just maybe, a handful of students from the Danville Middle School will make a similar visit to the newspaper and read this story and look at these pictures of the young men and women that made a field trip to the local newspaper.

The student get acquainted with the Linotype, Ottmar Mergenthaler’s invention that revolutionized the printing industry, the Linotype.

The line of type produced isn’t hard to read because it’s small - it’s also upside-down and reversed.

Students tried their hand at the recently retired graphotype machine.

Teams Pay Tribute to Former DCHS Player

Thursday, November 18, 2021

Lyons Show Fan Appreciation Danville Christian Church Aids Project A.N.G.E.L.

Clint Riggles (far right) accepts a signed basketball as a tribute to his late daughter, Lexi. ___________________________________________________

There is more to life than sports. We were reminded of that once again last Friday night when Plainfield visited Danville to take on the Warriors in a non-conference match up. The Danville Girls basketball program chose this night to honor former player Lexi Riggles who suddenly passed away on October 17. Lexi was set to begin her Senior season at Hanover when the tragic event occurred.

The theme of the night was tie-dye, which was a tribute to Lexi as she was quite fond the style. As a true sign of sportsmanship, Plainfield also participated in the evening and both teams wore tie-dye shirts during the pre-game shoot-around. Many fans also donned the colorful design as a sign of solidarity with the theme of the night, and with Lexi and her family.

Just before the start of the Varsity game, the announcer read a heart-felt tribute to the former star. A table at the south end of the court sat illuminated by a single spotlight in an otherwise dark gym and displayed Lexi’s #10 Danville jersey, and other items that reminded us of the legacy she left. At the conclusion of the tribute, Lexi’s father, Clint Riggles, came on to the court to receive a game ball, which was signed by players from both teams, and for at least sixty seconds, received a standing ovation from the crowd.

I did not know Lexi, or her family, but it was clear by the reaction of the crowd that she was a special individual who had a positive impact on so many. There was not a dry eye in the stadium by the time the tribute had ended.

On this night, basketball, the game, took a back seat to a basketball player, the life she lived, and the people whose lives she touched. It is an understatement to say that she will be missed.

As tough as it was for many players and coach Kaley May, the game went on as scheduled.

The Danville Christian Church is helping with Project A.N.G.E.L. again this year. Anyone wanting to help us with this project, please contact our office at 317-7452310. Items need to be at our church by November 30.

This is a wonderful project for the whole community to be involved in. ______________________________________________

Kendrick Lee (#8) presented a signed game ball to Jim Elsbury, who is recovering from a recent stroke. All the team members lines up to give Jim a fist-bump for good luck. After the hand-off the Lyons defeated the Capitals, 137 - 113. Maybe that good luck works both ways! _____________________________________________

Who’s That Dude?

Isabelle Wooten (#21) runs offense against Plainfield. ___________________________________________________

It was a slow start by both teams offensively as the teams combined for a total of 12 points in the first quarter and Plainfield led, 8-4. Each team picked up the pace and throughout most of the contest, the game was close. In the end, Plainfield proved to be too tough and pulled away in the fourth quarter, winning the game by a final score of 51-39.

Danville picked up a solid win earlier in the week when they hosted University High School and defeated them by a final score of 54-47.

Isabelle Wooten led all scores against University with 21 points and also hauled in 8 rebounds. Wooten again led the Warriors in scoring against Plainfield scoring 13 points and grabbing 10 rebounds as she secured her second double-double of the season.

Next up for Danville is a road game at Speedway on November 16 followed by a home game on November 19 against Tri-West.

Who’s No. 1? Jordan Hidelberg (#9) was the Lyon’s top scorer with 27 points, 6 assists, and 7 steals.

Tee Williams (#10) made 25 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds.

Danville’s Dillon Ware scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

(M o r e O b i t u a r i e s TED ELLIS COYLE, 74, passed away on November 14, 2021, peacefully, at home with his daughters and wife by his side. On August 11, 1947, he was born in Indianapolis to the late Gene B. and Henrietta Coyle.

After graduating from Howe High School in 1965, he attended Purdue University, where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. He graduated in 1970 with a degree in Industrial Engineering.

While working in Minneapolis, Minn., Ted met Jackie, and they quickly fell in love, marrying just six months later on June 30, 1973, in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. They moved back to Indianapolis and had two daughters, Meghan and Lyndsay. After a very successful sales career in the industrial packaging industry spanning over 50 years, Ted officially retired in June 2021.

Nothing brought Ted more joy than spending time with family and friends. His grandsons and daughters were his pride and joy.

Ted loved Purdue athletics and was a long-time member of the John Purdue Club. He was an extremely generous man who was actively involved in various Plainfield community organizations.

Over the years, his favorite activities were his involvement in youth sports and supporting local families in need. Golfing was a hobby Ted thoroughly enjoyed; however his happy place was fishing on a lake in Minnesota, catching walleyes. Ted’s charismatic personality, sense of humor, and positive outlook on life made him a loving husband, exceptional father and grandfather, and loyal friend to many.

Over the past fourteen months, Ted battled Glioblastoma Brain Cancer with courage and strength. He never gave up, and throughout the journey, he was always looking ahead. His positive attitude was inspiring and provided much comfort to his friends and family. Ted’s infectious laugh, wonderful smile, honesty, and generous heart will be missed by those who knew him.

Survivors include his wife, Jackie; daughters, Meghan Louisa Coyle and Lyndsay Louise (Adam) Corya; grandsons, Anderson Reickel Corya, Elliott Thomas Coyra, and their soon to be baby brother; brother, Gene A. (Jan) Coyle, and sister-in-law, Connie (Jack) Jannett.
