Shop Small Everyday

Forget Me Nots, a second generation gift shop in Danville, features a variety of gifts, including many made from local reclaimed barn wood.

Once a year, advertisers urge people to patronize local businesses on Shop Small Saturday, the Saturday following Thanksgiving. A good idea to try, and an even better habit to keep.

With a growing variety of big box, chain, and wholesale warehouses, there are still a large number of locally owned businesses in Hendricks County that can give you an experience you can’t find anywhere else.

In towns large and small, you’ll find unique stores for gifts, specialty foods, jewelry, arts and crafts, and more.

Family owned and operated, these small businesses return a greater proportion of their profits into their community, to support local schools, maintain local roads, and contribute to local causes.

This holiday season, turn to your local merchants for shopping, and make your New Year’s resolution to support them throughout the year. Together, we can build a better community, now and in the future. _____________________________________________

A Fireside Chat with Holly

Holly, The Great Dane of Danville and The Republican’s rovering reporter, is dealing with the oncoming cold weather with some fireside contemplation. This sphinxlike pose reminded us of a quote from Shakespeare, slightly adjusted for the subject: “What a piece of work is dog, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, In form and moving how express and admirable, In action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god, The beauty of the world, The paragon of animals.”

Holly wishes all a Happy Thanksgiving.

The Homemakers make dozens of homemade cookies in a variety of flavors and design. In the past, visitors would walk around the tables, full of homemade goods and select their favorites. Volunteers weigh the box with your selections and guests pay $6 per pound to benefit the Homemakers clubs. Packages with cookies containing nuts will be marked, for those with allergies.

“This year, we’re doing it a little differently because of COVID,” said Judy Hesselman of the Extension Homemakers.

“We’re going to pre-package the cookies in clear boxes, weigh them and price them ahead of time.

That way, we’re minimizing the changing hands and spread of any germs over open trays of cookies.”

More than 50 craft vendors will be available for shopping, some of which, are part of the homemaker’s club themselves and will offer a variety of holiday home décor, homemade items and more.

Guests will be treated to live holiday music throughout the day from the preschool at Bartlett Chapel as well as the Homemakers’ Treblemakers choir.

“Mrs. Claus comes out and greets the children and gives each of them a candy cane. The Treblemakers are excellent and will share several holiday songs with us,” Hesselman said. “The modern homemakers will serve a lunch of chicken noodles, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls and dessert. They’ll also have vegetable beef soup and something for the kids like hot dogs and veggie sticks.”

Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Holiday Fest helps raise funds to support the Homemakers many efforts to make a difference.

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 Back in 1871, Joel Jessup platted the tiny burg of Friendswood southeast of Plainfield; it was settled by the Society of Friends.

The venture grew. By 1878 there was a cheese factory, store, post office, railroad depot, steam-powered sawmill and gristmill, two blacksmiths and a wagon shop.

Doctor Mary Jessup based her practice from her mansion at the town’s west edge. She taught “scientific temperance and narcotics” at the Hadley Industrial Home for girls in 1896.

Friendswood area men founded Indianapolis’ first ice cream firm. More milk reportedly was shipped from the thriving village that is no more than from anywhere else in Indiana.

The Horse Thief Association entertained at the Friendswood school assembly hall in March 1921. There were piano duets, poem readings and light refreshments. The program: “Resolved, That the Red Men Have Received More Abuse at the Hands of the White Men Than the Negro.”

Elements of that widespread association were allied with the Ku Klux Klan.

Thirteen years earlier, in what might be called domestic terrorism (The Republican termed it “partisan bitterness”), someone dynamited the nearby Fairfield brick schoolhouse to the tune of $25 in damages.

State authorities had condemned the Fairfield and Friendswood schools (about a mile apart), and a plan called for a new school to serve both groups of students, with Friendswood kids attending Fairfield in the meantime. Someone did not fancy the idea. Anyway, Fairfield school reopened within a week.

A Friendswood woman “who years ago kept the Springtown neighborhood in an uproar,” landed in jail in December 1906, “charged with attempting to regulate matters around Friendswood according to her own notions, cleaning out the school, etc.”

Another Friendswood woman, weighing 380 pounds, was the heaviest in the county.

She died in September 1896.

A fellow calling both Mooresville and Friendswood home and already jailed in late 1914 on drunk and disturbing the peace complaints in Plainfield, faced even more when two area farmers swore out eight more charges including malicious trespass, pulling a knife, profanity, provoke, and assault and battery.

Released on a Sunday, he was arrested the following day for those latter charges while he was drunk yet again. The Gazette declared he might be one of the first to occupy the new “penal farm” in Putnam County.

By February, he was of “the opinion that jail life is a living death.” He implored Prosecutor James Snodgrass to release him, pledging to leave the state. “He will probably be given the opportunity to make good.” I found nothing further.

I may suggest a similar approach to Prosecutor Delp, subject to a trifling consideration.

Charles L. Mendenhall, during his teaching stint at Friendswood schools, served as state representative from 1915-1920. His ambition at Friendswood was to build “a notable high school . . . with a corresponding neighborhood spirit which will result in Friendswood becoming a community center known far and wide.”

Standard Oil Company in 1901 bought, it was said, “the finest pair of mules seen in Danville” from Friendswood’s Ethan Kendall.

Jessup & Son flouring mill was the scene of a horrific fatal accident early in 1892 when the long-time engineer was caught up in the machinery. By the time the 450 RPM shaft was stopped, what was left of the lifeless dismembered corpse was wrapped around it. I’ll not further describe the scene, dutifully reported in graphic detail -- as was the practice then -- other than to suggest it was a closed coffin funeral. Another paper’s account was far more vivid.

Jessup & Son’s store in 1892 sold some serious quackery, along with at least 17 other “first-class firms” across the county. Clinic Sarsaparilla remedied “all diseases arising from impure blood,” including pimples, boils, carbuncles, pustules, scald head, running sores and ulcers, scrofula and syphilitic affection, cancerous tumors, ringworm, eczema, tumors “and all hereditary blood taint whatsoever.”

From Chicago, that outfit also made the Clinic Kidney Cure, and it fixed Bright’s Disease, diabetes, female weakness, lumbago and incontinence.

A “splendid dinner pill” worked marvels combating flatulence.

Anyone who mailed two packaging wrappers from that pill was promised a free souvenir album depicting lithographic views of the 1893 Columbian Exposition.

Sufferers were urged not to fall prey to others who sought to “palm off inferior or worthless concoctions in place of these splendid remedies.”

Happy Holidays?

Happy holidays everyone. Before you judge the use of this word instead of Merry Christmas, please read on.

This time of year is a bit of a paradox to me. We are taught as youngsters that Thanksgiving and Christmas are times to be around those who love us and to appreciate the good things in our life.

As kids, they let us out of school during these times so that we can be with our families and loved ones for fun and games and food. But for good reason a lot of us grownups don’t have the same feeling about the holidays as we once did. A lot of us “hate” the holidays. Just hearing the word can cause crippling anxiety. For some, the season of giving becomes the season of dread. How did this happen? We let it happen. Why did we let it happen? That’s a question only we can answer for ourselves.

Interesting, as I am writing this, I just looked up the word “holidays” and here is what it said: “Leisure time away from work devoted to rest or pleasure.” Wow. That got me interested in the origin of this word so I looked up “holiday” in the etymology dictionary.

Funny how something so obvious can be overlooked. The word “holiday” came from Old English and literally means “Holy Day”. If you look at the word it’s right there, holi-days.

Who knew? So, why do we get upset when we are wished Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas? That’s a question only you can answer for yourself.

This may sound easier than it is, but maybe worth a try. Identify what is keeping you from that magical feeling of the “holidays” as a kid, and change it. Only you have the power to do that. No one else can or will. Good luck.

From all of us here at The Republican newspaper, we truly wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving, a magical Christmas 6 East Main Street ~ P.O. Box 149 and most of all, yes, you Danville, IN 46122 guessed it, Happy HoliPhone: 317-745-2777 / Fax: 317-647-4341 days.

I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.

Dear Editor: A reader recently sent you a published letter criticizing Republicans in Congress for not voting for the capital improvements bill The Congressional House Democrats just passed. Many of us know why the GOP says no.

The Democrat House has passed no budget. Thus there is no discipline in Washington. According to national news sources I read less than a third of the bill is designed for capital improvement. The rest is welfare & climate spending. The Congressional Budget Office projects the bill will increase our deficit by $367 Billion.

In turn deficit spending is a hidden tax, it forces more federal borrowing & can lead to increased taxation. I read the bill’s cost is more like $4.6 Trillion over 10 years than the $2 Trillion advertised. Thus the dangers of even more borrowing & higher tax bills are real.

In turn, the increased pumping of money into the economy, the marketplace, especially in this time of low supply of goods & services, causes inflation. Inflation lowers purchasing power & reduces wage gains.

It is better to spend within your means than spend more outside your means. Common sense says the bill is bad.

Unfortunately, I read much of the economic, business & political world sees no danger in deficit spending, believing it is fine merely to print more cash. Again, common sense condemns this type of thinking.

It seems greed (for cash & votes) is winning. We must support the prudent arguments against greed & power.

Government is not truly by or for the people when good citizens do not think & vote.

Sincerely, Greg Black ______________________________________________

Program Raises Awareness of Cognitive Disorders

A new program, created by the Avon Police Department, is a campaign to help raise awareness of first responders to cognitive disabilities and medical-related impairments when it matters most.

Through the AWARE program, a quick and identifiable 4” emblem/sticker can be placed on vehicles and residences to indicated that first responders may likely interact with an individual with a cognitive disorder. I n dividuals with cognitive disabilities such as Autism, Down Syndrome, Dementia, or a similar cognitive diagnosis can benefit from AWARE being in their community.

Agencies that join the AWARE campaign are required to obtain a medical professional referral from a physician before providing the emblems/stickers to their clients.

The AWARE logo gives law enforcement officers and EMTs a quick and easy way to identify the potential that they may be encountering an individual who is less likely to understand, comprehend, or engage officers in what may be typically received as a normal fashion. AWARE aims to reduce unnecessary use of force by officers who may reasonably misinterpret the actions of a cognitively disabled individual. The AWARE campaign serves as the newest de-escalation and mental health awareness tool available to law enforcement.

Current membership agencies include: Avon Police Department; Avon Schools Police Department; Amo I Police Department; Brownsburg Police Department; Brownsburg Schools Police Department; Clayton Police Department; Danville Schools Police Department; Danville Police Department; Hendricks County Communications Center; Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department; I.U. West Hospital Police Department; Lizton Police Department; North Salem Police Department; Plainfield Police Department; and Stilesville Police Department While AWARE is currently limited to law enforcement agencies in Hendricks County, it’s hoped to expand it throughout Central Indiana.

Consumers wishing to enroll in the program can complete the medical professional referral form by going to https://awareprogram.info and delivering the signed and complete form to their local participating law enforcement agency. Participating agencies will then provide emblems/ stickers for registered vehicles and the primary residence for the consumer. ______________________________________________

Avon Wedding Barn Hosts Festival of Trees

The beautiful display of lights and ornaments is a sight to see.

By Melissa Gibson When Anthony and Barbarann Wheeler purchased the Avon Wedding Barn 18 months ago, they knew they wanted to find ways to reach out to the community and meet their new neighbors.

They also knew COVID had wreaked havoc on non-profit opportunities to fundraise and holiday get-togethers were scarce.

Barbarann had previously volunteered for a tree festival in Ashland, Ky, and decided to host the first Festival of Trees in Avon on their property.

Sponsors in the community purchase a tree and decorate it in honor of their favorite non-profit in Hendricks County. The non-profit information is included at the base of the tree and the community bids on their favorite, purchasing the tree for home and/or voting for their choice of best decorations, best display and more.

The top three trees in a variety of categories earn the non-profit a financial gift.

Last year, the event raised more than $8,500 for the participating non-profits and Wheeler is ready to do it again.

“We’ve had a good response from the non-profits wanting to participate and we have some new ones this year.

Registration is technically closed, but if I can fit you in, I will,” Wheeler said. “The barn is already decorated and the Avon DECA club came out and helped us. They made giant lollipops out of pool noodles and giant candy canes out of pvc pipe. They had a lot of fun and it looks great.”

Walking up to the barn, guests will be handed a scavenger hunt worksheet, giving the entire family something to search for throughout the evening. There will be a second barn with crafts offered to the children, two large firepits with smores, a food truck and a Santa golf cart ride outside.

New this year, the open hours are extended to allow more ticketed visitors throughout the weekend, special hours are set aside for children with sensory needs and a large sleigh will be the backdrop for photo opportunities. There will also be a gingerbread contest for families throughout the weekend.

Pittsboro Christian Church Shepherd’s Shelves Food Pantry was the recipient of 3,628 pounds of food donated by the Pittsboro Schools during their recent food drive. We are very grateful for their kindness and we thank them very much. The students were very helpful. _____ Congratulations to our Tri-West Bruins on a fine football season. Your community is very proud of you. Thank you to everyone for their dedication and hard work. __________

SWCD Board Meeting Date

The Hendrick County Soil & Water Conservation District Board Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, December 7, 2021 at 7:30 a.m. will be held at 6759 N County Rd 100 E, Pittsboro.

Please call Teri Lents at the SWCD office 317-7452555 if you have any questions. __________

Perhaps most exciting, is what happens when you walk inside.

Over a dozen large trees and a dozen small are displayed throughout the barn, lights twinkling and ornaments sparkling for a colorful scene beyond most holiday displays.

Underneath each tree, information about the non-profit and sponsors is available so guests can learn more about the support and services in the county.

Last year, nearly 900 people walked through the barn and a several trees sold for hundreds of dollars.

Adjacent to the tree display, Cabin Coffee will be on hand for a warm beverage, kettle corn and a food truck will offer tasty treats. Around the corner, children have the opportunity to visit with Santa and take photos.

“We thought this was a way to start some joy,” Wheeler said. “It’s fun to do as a family and we’re new, but we’ll find out more about the community and we want to help as many non-profits as we did last year, or more.”

There will also be entertainment throughout the day, including local show choirs and church choirs to fill the barn with carols and holiday music.

Custom Blooms will be doing a wreath making contest and sponsoring classes on Nov. 28 and Dec. 8 for those interested in creating their own wreath for the door.

Wheeler is grateful for the help she receives from family and friends and hopes to continue to grow the event.

“The Festival of Trees takes a whole community. It’s good for the Avon Wedding Barn. Many people come by just to check it out and others didn’t know we were here, but I love that we get to meet new faces and see all of these smiles,” Wheeler said.

Tickets sell out quickly. Visit http://awb.thundertix. com for tickets or the Avon Wedding Barn Facebook page for more information. If you miss purchasing a ticket this year, don’t forget, the bidding on your favorite tree is also offered virtually. The Avon Wedding Barn Facebook page has updated information on how to access the bidding site.

Each tree is themed, like this Candy Land themed tree for Angels Anonymous. For more information, visit The Avon Wedding Barn Facebook page, along with information on how to bid on your favorite dree

Plainfield’s Prewitt Theater Gets Grant

A theater in downtown Plainfield was among 11 properties to receive funding through the the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs’ Historic Renovation Grant Program.

The Keller Huff Group was awarded $85,637 to renovate and preserve The Prewitt Theater in Plainfield. The theater opened in November of 1927 and was used as a movie theater until it closed its doors in 2005. The Keller Huff Group is renovating and restoring the theater into an upscale restaurant and event center. Upon completion, the Prewitt Theater expects to provide five or six full-time jobs and up to 35 part-time jobs.

“Historic structures are some of the most powerful storytellers in Hoosier communities,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch.

“The preservation of historic properties is integral to retelling Indiana’s history to future generations. This funding will help ensure communities can continue their Hoosier tradition and stories for years to come.”

Eligible properties for this grant program must be at least 50 years old and either listed on the register of Indiana historic sites and structures, be listed or eligible for listing to the National Register of Historic Places, or be listed as a contributing resource in a National Register District.

Eligible applicants include non-profits, individuals, partnerships, firms, associations, joint ventures, limited liability companies, corporations or non-profit affordable housing organizations. Awarded properties will receive funding for the renovation and preservation of exterior features. __________

Be Well Crisis Hotline

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration offers the Be Well Crisis Helpline, a confidential resource available through Indiana 211 that will allow Hoosiers to call and speak with a trained counselor 24/7.

The Be Well Crisis Helpline is funded by a Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

In Indiana the program becomes part of the state’s new Be Well Indiana initiative. Additional information about the mental health resources available to Hoosiers is available at BeWellIndiana.org. __________ I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.

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. ______________________________________________

John and I appreciate the local newspapers for ideas for fun activities. We discovered monthly art projects were available from an advertisement in The Republican. ____________________________________________________

The thing I’m most grateful for is my family. We’re looking forward to being together for Thanksgiving again. ___________________________________________________

Greatly Grateful Autumn is my favorite time of year and with it, my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. I appreciate Thanksgiving because other than grocery stores, it isn’t commercialized.

I’m kind of happy that it’s passed over as merchandisers jump from Halloween to Christmas. Somethings should remain “untouched”. Thanksgiving is a time to focus on how incredibly blessed we are, not what more we want.

I tend to be an optimist. I see the blessings in everything and appreciate all that life brings. Even “bad” things are learning experiences. Challenges are opportunities. Some may say I’m Pollyannaish but it works for me. Maybe more people ought to try it.

So as hokey as it is and it is Thanksgiving, I’d like to share a few of the things I consider blessings.

My family is first. I’m thankful that John and I were able to pick up after 60+ years and move to Plainfield to be closer to our son’s family. In the past year and a half, we’ve attended so many cross country meets, soccer and football games, school open houses, and music recitals, I couldn’t even count them. If there’s been one thing to be grateful to COVID for, it’s the opportunity to spend even more time with the grandkids. When the schools were closed during the shutdown, we went exploring and took them with us. They were so bored, they jumped at the chance to go somewhere with the Grands. I’ve missed that this year.

This community comes next. John and I have enjoyed meeting our neighbors and making new friends. For

anyone wondering how to meet people in a new area, my number one tip is to have a garage sale. EVERYONE in the neighborhood stopped by to see what we were selling and introduce themselves. Next, pick up a local newspaper (in my case, The Republican) and see what’s going on.

We’ve participated in a road rally, attended a fish fry, made art projects with the younger kids, viewed constellations, and even picked up a writing gig because they were either advertised or written about in the paper. I suppose FaceBook might be a good resource but I’m “vintage” and still prefer newsprint.

I’m grateful for my health. Now more than ever I realize just how blessed I am for my body and mind. My body certainly is not model-quality but it’s perfect for me.

It allows me to do what I want to do. I hike, bike, paddle, pick up small children and hug. Yep, it aches sometimes but that reminds me I’m alive.

I’m thankful for the beauty and wonder of Nature. I love plants of all kinds, even weeds (those are wildflowers, thank you.) It amazes me how everything in Creation has its place and fits together. I marvel at the engineering involved in hives, plant structures, and bird flight. Nature confirms to me there is a God and He is good.

This brings me to faith. I am so very blessed to have my faith, especially during the past two years. It has helped me make it through so many dark hours.

There are so many more things I could list but these are the Biggies. We all have so much to be thankful for but do we take the time to recognize our blessings? No matter how grim you feel your life is, someone else has it worse.

Appreciate what you have. I make it a point each night to write down one way I was particularly blessed that day.

On tough days it has been as simple as “I’m thankful for my bed.”

So on this one day a year, take a minute to appreciate all you have. Be glad you have a couch to sit on to enjoy the football game. Enjoy every bite as you eat your pumpkin pie. Take a walk and absorb the beauty and wonder around you and offer praise to your God or the universe (your preference.) Gather with your loved ones (This is a blessing after last year!) Hug them tightly and be greatly grateful.

JUST AN OBSERVATION

By Janet Beam

SMALL TOWN CAFÉ There is something about a small town café where everyone knows you, knows your history, and welcomes you anyway. Once upon a time it seemed that every small town had its own café. It would be a place to gather for morning coffee and right the many wrongs in the world. It would be a place to catch up on the local news – who was ill, who had died, and all the other latest. Living in Jamestown for many years, the mainstay was always Dick and Judy’s. Judy was (and is) a wonderful cook and served the most delicious home cooking. In addition to the good food, there was the camaraderie that made the place so special. Most people eating there knew each other (or you soon would after a few visits) and the conversation flowed from table to table with many people adding their viewpoints.

Most small town cafés have the same hometown feel.

They offer a sense of community, which seems to be in short supply these days, what with wearing masks, having to stay 6 feet away from everyone and being afraid to venture to some place new. In order to have that sense of community though, the café needs to be small, with tables close together and a welcoming feel to them. The waitresses tend to know the regulars and their usual drink orders. There is something about going into a familiar place and having your iced tea set in front of you before you even get settled. These cafés really don’t even need to be in a small town; I am sure cities have small neighborhood restaurants with the same welcoming charm.

Whenever we travel, these small hometown cafés are the one we always seek. The food and atmosphere is much better than at a chain restaurant. Since we have moved from Jamestown and Dick and Judy’s has closed, we have eaten at all the local places in Danville and there are many good ones who fit the bill. But I sure would like to have one more meal of chicken and noodles from my old hometown café. If you haven’t found it yet, why not look this week for your own small town charmer.

A Note From Bee It was Thanksgiving day and my mother was busy preparing Thanksgiving dinner. I was about 6 years old and had just learned how to print my name. I got my crayons out and decided to print my whole name on the upstairs hall wall. I chose to print “Bernice Barbara Brezinski” in big letters with my red crayon on the wallpaper.

Just about the time I had finished my mother came up the stairs. To say she was mad is an understatement. Today it would be socially incorrect but she called me a brat and said she might have to send me to the girls school.

That was her favorite threat. This was followed up by a spanking. I was reminded of my horrible deed for several years because the wallpaper was not changed for several years.

If a doll quilt that is still in existence today could talk, it could tell you many interesting things.

One that I am thinking about is about 17 inches square; each little block is 3 and one-fourth inch square.

The blocks are black and white print and blue material with little red, yellow, and white flowers. It is a 25 block quilt, tied at the comers of the blocks with pink yarn. The binding around the edge is blue and finished with hand stitching. The back of the quilt is white.

This little quilt could tell you that it was made about 50 years ago by my mother for one of our daughters when she was a little girl. It was made from fabric left over from one of Mother’s house dresses; yes, that is what the women called their cotton dresses that they wore and that in itself is another story. Many of the doll quilts were made from fabric left over from a little girl’s dress and so in later years she could say, “I remember my dress that was made from this fabric.”

Some doll quilts could tell you that they were made by little girls for their dolls. If you looked at them, you could see that they were crudely stitched by little hands and very plain and homely. You could see the crowded, crooked, and imperfect stitches, and puckers here and there on the tiny quilt blocks. Also noticeable would be the haphazard pattern of the fabric, some not even cut straight, but the finished product would be proudly displayed for all the family to see.

I can remember some of our grandchildren sitting on the bed beside me when I was sewing on the sewing machine and they were making their own creation. They wanted a little help and advice but they did it and were proud of their little blanket or scarf or whatever. “Look what I made, Mamaw,” was what I often heard.

A little doll quilt might tell you that a special little girl sat on the floor by her mother and worked diligently with her little hands while the mother was piecing a larger quilt.

Quilts and comforters back years ago were always made by the women; old worn quilts were covered with new fabric and stitched together and probably yam tied, and thus a new bed cover was created, heavier and looking brand new.

A little doll quilt might tell you that it was made on a quiet evening in the family home while Father and son worked on a puzzle or played checkers; Grandma was knitting over in the corner and Grandpa was sitting by the fireplace or heatin’ stove, smoking his pipe or maybe snoring in his comfortable chair. Mother and daughter were concentrating on their quilt making, and it was just a quiet evening of family togetherness except for the occasional crack of the fire and Grandpa’s snoring.

Making a doll quilt was a small-scale sewing project that was an effective way for a Mother or Grandma to interest the little girl in sewing, a skill she would need later in her life as a wife and mother.

It does not matter who made the doll quilt; I just know that they were made with great care and much love and they were such an important bond between mother and child or grandchild or between a child and a favorite doll.

Just look at any old doll quilt and hear it telling you a story. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy Archy remarked on how the scurrying had increased among humans now that the holiday season had arrived.

“They seem to be going in several directions at once,” he said. It’s supposed be a season of giving thanks and being grateful. What’s the hurry?”

I said something about commercialization, family gatherings to furnish food for, and school children set loose from their classroom coops.

“Quite unnecessary, don’t you think?” the squirrel said. “How much effort is there in saying ‘Thank you’ and ‘You’re welcome’?

I answered that humans tended to express those sentiments with offerings and gifts. It was starting to seem silly to me as well. “‘The best things in life aren’t things,’” Archy quoted.

“I believe that was your Oscar Wilde’s sentiment. “Why make a spectacle of being thankful?”

I never know when Archy is asking a question or waxing rhetorical.

“Simple gestures mean the most,” he continued. “We squirrels can say ‘thank you’ with the slightest motion of our tail. ” I tried to think of human gestures - a smile, a pat on the back.

“Encouragement can be a gift,” Archy said. “Letting others know they’re appreciated, even when they haven’t done anything special. Just being there when there’s no crisis to face, just being there. Like Thoreau said, ‘I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.’”

“Exactly,” I said. “Thanks, Archy.”

Thinking Spring Bulbs? Hints & Solutions

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener Renee is the Youth Services Manager at the Danville-Center Township Public Library. She is a former classroom teacher, reading specialist, and school librarian. She’s a mom of two, wife, and one-half of the blog Raising Real Readers. You can connect with her @raisingreal on Twitter and @RaisingRealReaders on Instagram and Facebook. She is proud to call Danville home. ______________________________________________

Time Ready-made “cages” can protect bulbs against maurading critters. You can also creat your own with hardware cloth or chicken wire. ___________________________________________________

Plant spring bulbs now, enjoy later.

No, it is not too late to plant those bulbs, but get it done soon!! Bulbs are so amazing the entire life cycle is encased in each bulb.

Remember to: 1. Buy varieties for zone 5.

2. Check bulbs before buying or planting: should be firm - no mold, lesions or soft spots.

3. Plant in well-drained soil. Full or part sun- Plant at correct depth-Mulch- Water after planting (mother nature did that for us this year)!

4. Protect from pest animals. Fertilize at planting and during spring growth.(best to do in spring as products like bone meal in the fall draw animals in to dig and eat bulbs) Problem

Bulbs affected

Possible Cause

Buds, leaves Crocus, tulip blossoms eaten

Deer, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks

Bulbs are being dug up

Crocus, daffodill, Hyacinth, tulip

Squirrels, chipmunks, skunks

Bulbs seem to disappear

Crocus, tulip

Mice, voles, gophers, chipmunks

Over the years, fewer plans

Crocus, daffodil, hyacinth, tulip

Decline due to overcrowding, or poor soil fertility

Bulbs, leaves, blossoms eaten: To discourage smaller animals, use commercial or homemade repellents or scare tactics. To mention a few, dog or cat hair spread around bulb bed; hot pepper spray or aluminum pie tins on twine, plastic scare owls). For deer try a commercial deer repellent, or grow bulbs under protective netting supported by metal or wooden hoops.

Bulbs are being dug up. After planting, place hardware cloth, chicken wire, or other protective barrier over soil, and secure it in place. Use well-decomposed organic amendments when planting.

Squirrels and chipmunks love crocus and tulip bulbs.

Skunks dig in search of insects and worms, but may also be attracted to organic fertilizers such as bone-, fish, or peanut meal.

Bulbs seem to disappear from the ground. Plant bulbs in an underground chicken wire cage. You can make your own, or purchase them readymade In spring. Allow the bulb leaves to remain in place until they fade completely. To hide fading foliage, plant annuals.

To improve soil fertility in spring spread an inch of compost, or feed with a low-nitrogen bulb fertilizer.

If bulbs have become crowded (they multiply) dig and divide them.

Plant daffodils no one bothers them!

Daffodils are lovely to look at, but unattractive to critters.

You can’t plant bulbs if you haven’t botany.

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.]

Recently, my family kicked it back all the way to 2020 and had ourselves a good, old fashioned quarantine. While we did our best to keep up on schoolwork, jobs, cooking, and cleaning, we also relished in the fact that our busy evenings were wiped off the calendar.

Whether we like it or not, our society tends to honor the business of being busy. Busy working to make money, busy on our devices, busy decorating our homes, busy picking up/dropping off kids, busy portraying a lifestyle.

Like a hamster running in its wheel who reminds us that no matter how hard you run, you still only have the same amount of time as anyone else.

If making time to read with, to, or around your kids is frequently at the bottom of the list because you’re busy, consider the following: According to the World Atlas, the U.S. ranks 125th out of 194 developed nations. I don’t know about you, but I’d trade in a few of those shiny Olympic medals we seem to be great at earning for a higher ranking on that list.

According to a study at the University of Minnesota, reading can reduce stress by up to 68%.

Statistics also show that reading fiction can boost emotional intelligence, specifically empathy.

To some, making time to read or read with your kids feels like flossing. You know you should do it. You know it’s good for you, now and in the long-run. You know your dentist will notice if you don’t do it. Yet, many of us don’t take the time to do it.

Our teachers need you to read together.

The future of workforce development needs you to read together.

Humankind needs you to read together.

Most importantly, your child desperately needs you to read together.

The best memories are made on the laps of a parent/ grandparent reading to/with a child. We don’t need statistics to tell us this. We know it in our hearts and our heads, just like we know we should floss. So, if you are caught up in the hamster wheel, choose to jump off. Pick up a book.

Let your child watch you read it. Make time to read to your child or with your child.

Everyone will be thankful. ______________________________________________

Hey, did everybody get a chance to see and hear those flocks of big, beautiful birds that flew over Danville last week? The sound they made was wonderful! When I heard them, I thought they were either flying very low or perched someplace close, because the noise they made was so loud! But, I didn’t see them until I looked up. They were so high! I can’t imagine how loud it would be up there with them. My human called them sandhill cranes. I hope I get to see them again!

Birds are just the neatest animals, aren’t they? They come in so many different sizes and colors—red and yellow and blue! It’s hard to picture a brightly-colored mammal! And it would be odd if a mammal had a voice like a bird. Wouldn’t you like to hear a cow try to chirp? And imagine a mammal flying! Oh, wait a minute. I forgot about bats. Okay, there are flying mammals. But, my point is, birds are very special animals! You think so, too, right?

Okay, then, I have a bone to pick with you. I guess it’s traditional to eat turkey on Thanksgiving. So, show me where it says you have to eat a bird. You just admitted that birds are special animals, and yet, you’re probably chowing down on a turkey for Thanksgiving. Why is it okay to eat some birds, but not others? There are plenty of sparrows and robins and goldfinches. Why not eat them?

Because they’re song birds, right? Why eat a turkey just because it can’t carry a tune? I’ve heard lots of humans on the radio who can’t sing either, and you don’t see any of them being eaten.

Do you remember the pretty little wild turkey that wandered around Danville last year? People watched out for her! I saw policemen stop traffic so she could cross the street! Would you eat her? No! What makes one turkey eatable, and another not?

And birds are closely related to dinosaurs, which were just big lizards. Eating a 14-pound lizard sounds yucky, even to me! So, let’s rethink this turkey thing.

As I understand it, this is the time of year to take stock of your blessings and be thankful for them. I think I should do that, too. So, what am I thankful for? I am thankful for a home where I can stay warm and dry and where my humans love me. I am thankful that I am healthy and strong. I am thankful for all my brothers and sisters, who make life fun! I am thankful that my humans didn’t get mad when I archaeologied all over the back yard. I am thankful that Ms. Betty lets me talk to you! And mostly, I am thankful that I am Henry! I couldn’t wish for anything better than that!

Thought for the Day: President Abraham Lincoln declared the fourth Thursday in November would be a national day of Thanksgiving. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to be thankful all the other days of the year. Take the time to consider your blessings daily.

Thanksgiving Memories of Vivian It’s that time of year where we think about all the blessings we are thankful for. Another good thing to do is take some time and remember past Thanksgivings. My favorite memory of Thanksgiving as a child is the wonderful meals my Mom would prepare. She worked most of her life as a nurse and she was good at it. You could not find a more compassionate and caring person. She worked for Dr. Cook’s office in Danville for years and everyone loved her. Consequently, her meals were always a rush when she got home from work. She could find more ways to throw a quick meal together for five hungry people. But at Thanksgiving and Christmas it was different. She took her time and created and, oh, the smells that emanated from her kitchen. She would start the night before preparing things.

She made these yeast rolls that had to rise for hours. You could smell them a block away and pies, oh, what pies.

You know when I think about it, my Dad, brother Ron, and I loved to rabbit hunt and we would be out in the fresh air all morning tromping through the woods so that made things taste even better. I wonder if they have Thanksgiving dinners in Heaven? If they do, you can bet Mom is in charge of the yeast rolls.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Homemakers Host Annual Holiday Fest

Thursday, November 25, 2021

Archbishop Thompson Dedicates Mary Queen of Peace Addition

The Extension Homemaker Clubs host an Annual Achievement Day to celebrate the year’s accomplishments and plan next year’s activities. _______________________________________________________________________________

Continued from page 1 The Holiday Fest is just one of the many things the Extension Homemakers do for the community. There are clubs located in every county in the state and what began as an educational outlet for women at home, has grown to be so much more.

“They started in 1913 with the goal of providing education for homemakers. They wanted to get the word out about latest news and modern trends,” Hesselman said.

“We attend programs in the fall and spring and hear presentations on really anything, from finances and fraud to Instapot and air fryers.”

They hold two Make a Difference days per year, making tote bags for Riley Hospital for Children, neck pillows, quilts for the homeless and hygiene kits for the children at Headstart.

“Our other purpose is to strengthen families and to support our community,” Hesselman said. “We have ladies that volunteer to read to preschoolers and we put together the Hendricks County 4-H Fair books to share events and registration information for the fair.”

Clubs hold monthly meetings to discuss future plans and funds, set aside for Hendricks County teacher scholarships, student scholarships and other community support.

By Peg McRoy Glover

Anyone can join the club or get involved in some or all activities that work within your schedule. They even have “mailbox” members; people who may not be able to attend all events but want to stay up to date on future activities and plans.

The club plans an annual cultural arts day trip and they also have an overnight event in the spring and fall for their district retreat.

“The friendships in our club have become strong because you get to know the ladies well. My grandmother was a homemaker and my mother was for a few years.

You just meet these wonderful ladies from all over the county,” Hesselman said.

The Most Reverend Charles C. Thompson, Archbishop of Indianapolis, paid homage to the parishioners of Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Danville, with a dedication and blessing ceremony following Mass on Sunday, Nov. 21, for the parish’s newly constructed narthex, parish office, and religious education wing.

“It is indeed a pleasure to welcome Archbishop Thompson to our parish for the offering of the Holy Mass and solemn blessing of our newly built facilities,” said Reverend Father Michael C. Fritsch, Pastor of Mary, Queen of Peace.

Three hundred Mary, Queen of Peace parishioners and Mass servers gathered around Archbishop Thompson and Father Fritsch as they stood in the new narthex before the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the ceremony.

The ceremony began with Archbishop Thompson blessing the parishioners saying, “May the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, may the word of Christ dwell in you, and that all you do in work and in word you will do in the name of the Lord.

May Almighty God bless and keep you all.” He then visited each classroom and office blessing those spaces with holy water.

The Archbishop jokingly teased Father Fritsch by saying that he double blessed his office.

This ceremony was the culmination of a process that began in 2015. The parish council had what they called a “visioning day.” They envisioned what the parish could look like in the future to enhance parish life. After much thought and prayer,

they developed plans to build a new parish office, religious education classrooms, and a fellowship hall.

To bring these plans to fruition a building committee was formed. Parishioner townhalls were conducted so they could learn of the plans and voice their opinions.

A three-year pledge capital campaign was started in hopes of raising the $3 million needed to begin construction.

That capital campaign fell short of the $3 million but enough was raised to begin construction on the much-needed offices and classrooms. The religious education building that was built in 1954 was leaky and unsafe and the parish offices were in the rectory.

That 1954 building was razed to make way for this new construction. In its place is a beautiful education wing with 11 classrooms and parish offices that are attached to the church with an expanded narthex.

“The newly constructed religious education wing, parish offices, and connecting narthex to our existing church is a sign of the vitality and continued growth of our parish within the larger community of Danville,” said Father Fritsch. “These are tangible results of people’s stewardship of their time, talent, and treasure.”

The parish council is already looking forward and eyeing two more construction projects that will fulfill the initial vision.

The rectory needs to be renovated where the previous offices were located. Plans are in the works to repurpose that space into a couple of guest rooms to accommodate visiting clergy.

And that fellowship hall will provide an excellent gathering space for parishioners and the community.

The Hendricks County Chorus, one of many Homemaker Clubs, have entertained with Valentine’s Day visits, Christmas Caroling, and at many county events, including North Salem Old Fashioned Days and Mayberry in the Midwest. _______________________________________________________________________________

Whispering Pines Offers Holiday Family Experience For example, those that come out to Whispering Pines will be given a sled to bring their tree up to the car instead of hauling it by hand. They provide the saw if needed and the staff to help those requiring it, Each tree is mechanically shaken, bound in netting and loaded for a safe trip home.

While at Whispering Pines, families can visit Buddy, the miniature donkey and Macey, the pony.

Over Thanksgiving Weekend, there will be balloon animals and more.

On the first weekend of December, visitors can check out Bear Hollow chainsaw wood carvers and the amazing pieces of art they create.

Homeward bound: Christmas Tree hunters prepare to leave Whispering Pines. ___________________________________________________

Lowdown on Live Trees The movie,“National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” didn’t do the Christmas Tree industry any favors.

Much of what we hear about live Christmas trees in the home are myths and with the proper care, the experience can be safe and brighten your holidays. Check out these tips and tricks from experienced tree farm owner, Rita Evans.

Whispering Pines has been open for business since 1989.

Trees are planted each year in anticipation of future generations of families. ___________________________________________________

If you’ve never put on your snow boots, hats, gloves and coat and tromped out to a tree farm to select the perfect Christmas tree, you may be missing out.

Joe and Rita Evans began growing trees in 1983 at Evans Whispering Tree Farm in Danville and began selling them to the community in 1989.

They know all-too-well the experience selecting your own live Christmas tree gives to families because they grew up with a love and excitement for the trip.

“For me, as a kid, it was the excitement of Christmas.

We couldn’t wait to get the tree and decorate it together,” Rita said. “Just being outside, picking the perfect one and deciding which one we all liked best. It’s the whole thing… bringing it into the house, setting it up in the living room, taking turns placing ornaments on the tree. It’s the beginning of Christmas.”

In 1983, the couple talked about their personal experience of taking their children out to a farm and cutting a Christmas tree down each year. They loved it so much, they decided to start their own.

“We had 10 acres at the time and we went to the state nursery and purchased 800 trees of all different sizes and variety. The entire family came out and we planted each one by hand. Today, we have a tree planter that plants 3,000 to 4,000 per day and we hadn’t done a lot of research at the time, but we’ve learned as we go,” Evans said.

They joined the Indiana Christmas Tree Growers Association and began attending summer meetings, complete with vendors and information to upgrade the current process.

Custom wreaths can be ordered or you can pick up a pre-made wreath during your visit.

Season Comes to End For Tri-West Bruins

The gift shop is full of holiday décor, gift ideas, and additions for the home. ___________________________________________________

Don’t forget to visit the gift shop while you’re there. They have an assortment of wreaths, Christmas décor, snow globes and lanterns.

The average cost of a tree is between $50 and $120, based on the size and selection.

“It’s a neat time for us. Families are excited and looking for that perfect tree,” Evans said.

It hasn’t always been easy running a tree farm. From 2010-2012, the farm experienced a heavy drought, killing most of Whispering Pines supply. They were closed last year, due to COVID, but Evans is excited to invite the community out for the special experience in 2021.

“We have Norway Spruce, Scotch Pine and White Pine to cut in the field,” Evans said. “This year, we’ve tagged the trees that are available and once those are gone, the field will be closed, but you could still get a pre-cut tree in the Frasier or Douglas Fir.” Over the years, operations were mainly through Rita and her husband but their children are beginning to express interest in taking over the farm.

“They want to try some new things,” Evans said.

“We’ve talked about offering a wreath class next year and I think we’re going to continue to grow.”

For now, the family is happy to give the gift of a special Christmas experience to families in Hendricks County.

Opening day is Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. After the first weekend, regular hours will be Sun. through Friday, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday’s, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Like their Facebook page for the most updated information and check beforehand before coming out to purchase a tree.

Evans Whispering Pines is located at 1538 North 400 West, Danville.

Plainfield Tri Kappa Hosts 50th Gingerbread Christmas

What kind of scent does the tree emit?

It’s according to what type you get. The Concolor tree smells like oranges. Frasers and Douglas’ have a fresh, sweet smell and the White Pine is the least fragrant (possibly best for those with allergies).

Are they a hassle to care for?

If you can help it, keep the tree out of a room with a fireplace, woodburning stove and away from registers, because the tree will dry out quicker. You want to be sure the tree is properly watered. Don’t let the water get below the bottom of the trunk because without it, the trunk will re-seal and you’ll have to cut a quarter inch off of the bottom to open it up. Warm water kept above the base of the tree is best.

Some trees will last from Thanksgiving weekend through the Christmas holiday and beyond if taken care of, but others, like the Norway Spruce, are better to purchase mid-December in order for them to last.

Is it a fire hazard?

Keep the tree away from heat to avoid it drying out.

Other than that, when people have a problem, it’s typically from the lights strung on the tree being old and having some sort of electrical issue, or a space heater set too close.

Will a squirrel or other animal be in the tree when we get it home?

Unlikely. When the tree is cut down, shook and bound, any critters that may have been there have taken off. Birds’ nests are considered good luck and the staff at Whispering Pines checks for praying mantis eggs before loading your tree. If they find an egg sac, they keep them and replace them on other growing trees, a great way of getting rid of insects harmful to the trees.

If one is missed and you have a praying mantis hatching, simply get out your sweeper and clean them up.

What about sap? Does everything become sticky?

No. Once the tree is cut down, the sap stops running.

So, there may be a small amount of sap there, but overall, it’s not anything extreme like your hands sticking together or sap all over your ornaments.

Is the clean up a pain?

We have large garbage bags that you can put under the legs of the stand. It’s almost like a tree skirt. When you’re ready to dispose of the tree, slide the bag up and over the trunk for an easy clean up. The trees are biodegradable. Look for a drop-off location near you for disposal.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be...

When COVID shut down schools and businesses, food pantries remained open and found new ways to serve - as drivethrough operations, rain or shine. Shared Blessings saw an increase in the number of families needing assistance last year and the reasons were heart-breaking. Some families lost one or two incomes while other families had to find new ways to work at home and teach children at the same time. Many grandparents stepped up to help with home-schooling and meals, while others found themselves with medical bills that they just couldn’t afford. Shared Blessings Community Food Pantry serves 75 – 100 families every week with a truly wonderful group of volunteers.

At this time of Thanksgiving, Shared Blessings Community Food Pantry could use your financial assistance. If you can afford to share your blessings with others in your community, please consider making a donation to the food pantry. Donations can be mailed to: Shared Blessings Community Food Pantry 820 West Mill Street Danville, Indiana 46122

Thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

During the Work Study session on Nov. 17, the Danville Town Council got an update from Huntington Bank representatives on the Host Future Fund. They also heard from Chase Cotton, Community Director for The Willow Center, on the state of mental health in Danville and Hendricks County.

During the regular meeting, there was a discussion with Kelly DeBennedetto about continuation of the Memorial Brick program. It was decided to continure the program, but to have the brick installations done once a year, near Memorial Day, so not to burden the DPW. The fiscal plan and request for annexation of the Auger property at 1887 N CR 200 E was approved.

Expenditure requests by the DPW were approved for funds to complete paving on CR 150 E ($39,616.72) and for a Line Striper/Driver for marking “no parking” areas in town ($17,149.32).

The Water Dept. requested to spend on materisl for a water main project for the Bevy subdivision ($38,938.46).

As recommended by a traffic study, the Council approved removing the east-west stop signs at Lincoln and Kentucky streets.

Thanksgiving Stories From South Elementary Zoey Snider - third grade

Danville South Elementary recently wrapped up its November schoolwide writing competition. Students were given the following story starter and asked to create the rest.

“One morning as you are getting ready for school, you hear a tapping at the front door. When you open the door, you see a small turkey and he seems to be out of breath, like he has been running. The turkey says to you, “PLEASE HELP ME! The farmer is chasing me, and wants to cook me for Thanksgiving dinner!”

I let the turkey in and hid it in my closet. I shut the door and didn’t let the turkey out. I looked out the window to make sure the farmer wasn’t outside my house. I was actually a little scared to open my closet door because the turkey was talking to me. Turkeys say gobble gobble, but can’t talk. I decided to move my bed and Barbie castle in front of my closet door so the turkey couldn’t get out.

I wanted to talk to the turkey while he was in my closet.

I’m not usually scared of things because I take Taekwondo classes, but I was a little scared about a turkey that could talk. I had to find out how this turkey could talk. I asked the turkey how it could talk? He said, “I’m not really sure what happened to me today. This morning I was a farmer.

I was sitting at the table eating 100 pancakes with lots of butter and whipped cream.

Then, all of the sudden I turned into a turkey. At the same time I turned into a turkey, one of my turkeys turned into a farmer! The farmer (turkey) started chasing me and wanted to catch me and cook me in the oven for Thanksgiving dinner. I started running as fast as I could and came to your house.” I said, “How could you turn into a turkey and a turkey turn into a farmer?” Then the turkey farmer remembered something that happened last year at Thanksgiving. The turkey (farmer) said that last year he cooked a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. He always saves the wishbone to make a wish. Right when he was going to make a wish, a turkey came in and snatched the wishbone. The wishbone broke, but the turkey got the bigger piece and ran away. “The turkey must have made a wish to turn me into a turkey and the turkey into a farmer so he could eat me this year!” I knew I had to do something. I decided to invite the farmer (turkey) and the turkey (farmer) to sit at my table this year for Thanksgiving dinner so they could talk it out. I decided to have a chicken dinner and leave turkey out of it this year. Everyone was safe and lived happily ever after. Poor chicken! ______________________________________________

Winners are pictured above, left to right: Elayna Armstrong, Reese Herald, Miley Goodall, Zoey Snider _____________________________________________ Reese Herald - fourth grade

Elayna Armstrong - third grade Ok. First, I grabbed the turkey and put him in my backpack. What! I can’t leave a turkey at home alone! So, then I headed out the door for the bus. When I went to school I unzipped my backpack and headed off to my first class.

Of course, I left a hole for my turkey to breathe. When I was headed off to my first class I heard some murmuring in my locker so I headed back to my locker and peeked inside there and saw… he was going through my lunch! I knew he had to be hungry, so I grabbed a container from my lunch and went outside to catch a spider. Well, luckily we did some research on turkeys since it’s almost Thanksgiving. Ah I found a spider!A big fat juicy one with eight legs. I trapped it quickly with my container and ran inside, and in all my rush, I didn’t seal the lid! Oh no! It got out and I didn’t have time to look. I’ll have to look for it later.

Back in the classroom, we were all hard at work. All of the sudden my teacher is standing on her desk. What in the world is going on, I thought. Then I saw a big, black, fat spider crawling creepily up my teacher’s desk. She started screaming hysterically and her face was red. I even thought steam was coming out of her ears.

In a rush, I ran to my bag and let out the turkey. In hero like fashion he gobbled up the big, fat, juicy spider. In a gasp, my teacher wrapped her arms around the turkey and kissed him on the beak. She said, “You’re my hero, and now our new class pet!”

We have never had a spider in the building again, and the turkey was saved from being turned into a feast. ______________________________________________

Holly in Winterland

Ok. I’ll help you! I grabbed the turkey and took the turkey to my bedroom. Ok, ok, ok, there is a talking turkey in my room. “Sup,” said the turkey. Ok, let’s talk. What’s your name? Shadow, said the turkey. Oh ok. What’s the matter? I asked Shadow. I used to have a chicken named Shadow. Oh. I have an idea. What? Asked Shadow. I could dress you up like a chick-ding dong. Stay in here.

Coming! Yes. Oh, Hi farmer Bill. What do you need?

My turkey ran away said farmer Bill and I was wondering if he come to your house? Nope, sorry. No turkey here.

Bye! Ok Shadow I have to go to school. Bye. 7 hours later… I’m back Shadow. Good! Why? The farmer came by and he was looking through the windows said Shadow. It is a good thing I have cameras. Now I can call 911. Ring, ring, 911. What’s your emergency? Someone was looking through my windows and trying to take my turkey for Thanksgiving! Ok we are on the way. 10 minutes later.

Ok, kid where is he? Over there. Okay Sir, you are under arrest. Nooooo. Kid I will get you. _____________________________________________

Miley Goodall - fourth grade I stood there in confusion, but then started to come up with ideas. I was thinking when all of the sudden, I realized that I was standing face to face with a talking turkey! I couldn’t believe this! I spoke up and said, “Come with me, inside is not the place for you. My dad is a hunter.” I led the turkey to the back shed. “So many spiders!” I said.

The turkey agreed. Then we finally left the shed. I got on my bike when the turkey said, “What are you doing?” I told the turkey to hop on and he did. “I’m going to call you Fred.” I said. I ride us to a path in the forest that me and my dad always ride our bikes at. “Your new home,” I said. “I’m going to be so late for school!” He got off and I continued to ride my bike home. “Bye Fred,” I said.

“Visit me!” The End… or is it?? _____________________________________________

Danville Girls Win 1, Lose 1

The Danville Girls Basketball team played two games last week. They took their 2-2 record into Speedway to face the Sparkplugs in a non-conference matchup on Tuesday, November 16. This game became the tale of two halves as the Warriors struggled offensively in the first half and were staring a 21-16 deficit headed into the locker room.

Their fortunes would take a turn for the better in the second half as they bested the Sparkplugs by a score of 21-7 in the third quarter. They nearly replicated that domination in the fourth quarter outscoring the home team 178. This would be more than enough to turn what started out as a close game into a yawner midway through the final period.

Isabelle Wooten continued her stellar play this season as she finished with 20 points, and 19 rebounds, notching her third double-double of the season. She also leads the team in scoring at 14.5 points per game, and rebounding at 11 per game, just six games into the season. Haley Ancelet added 11 points on the night.

The competition would be tougher in the second game of the week as Danville welcomed their favorite rivals from Lizton. Tri-West brought their 2-1 record to town and as is the case with many of these Danville-Tri-West matchups, they also brought intensity rivaled only by the schools’ respective football programs.

The Warriors certainly represented well in this game and even took a slim two-point lead into the locker room at half time. Unfortunately, the third quarter was a killer for the home team as they were dominated 20-9 in the quarter and their two-point lead durned into a nine-point deficit heading into the final quarter.

An admirable effort in the fourth quarter by Danville would not be enough and they fell by a final score of 49-38 to even their record at 3-3.

Kenna Kirby led the visiting Bruins with 17 points and Cameryn Rector led the Warriors with 16.

Next up for Danville is a November 27 road trip west on Interstate 74 for a conference match up with Crawfordsville who, as of this writing, sports a 2-4 record. The game time is 2pm, for those who are interested in making the trip. ______________________________________________

In the span of 52 years, four continents and countries like New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina have seen Mike Neilson, a government and economics teacher at Danville Community High School, take down a variety of game. From successful long shots at elk in Wyoming to bow hunting water buffalo in Australia, his multitude of experiences has led to three published books: “Class Dismissed: I’m Going Hunting,” “We’re Gonna Need More Arrows” and “Pig Tales and Other Hunting Adventures.” A fourth book is to come out in the spring of 2022.

“My Dad promised my brothers and I that when we were 10, he would take us on a goose hunt in southern Illinois,” explained Neilson. When he first entered a hunt shack among what he describes as “a fraternity of fellow waterfowlers,” his young age didn’t spoil the welcoming feeling.

“There was just something about going to the hunt shack and seeing all the other hunters, old and young, gathering around in the pre-dawn morning,” he explained. I even got a goose on that hunt.”

Since then, the game and hunting spaces have expanded, and he described turkey and wild hogs as his “best types of hunting.”

It’s “being outside and keeping alive skills that our forefathers needed to survive” that makes hunting so enjoyable.

For him, it’s a process, “lifestyle,” and influence on his life: “From practice to scouting to harvesting (and many times not bagging a critter)... being a complete hunter also means being a conservationist,” Neilson said. “We don’t want to wipe out all the game, we want to see them flourish.

We love good land management and the balance between farm fields and forest. The same goes for fishermen and women. Keep the waters clean and we can keep fishing.”

After retirement, Neilsen plans on “hitting two more [continents].” ______________________________________________
