180 Alliance

180 Alliance, made up of west-central communities including Boone, Hendricks, Johnson, Montgomery, Morgan, and Putnam Counties, towns, and local stakeholders, was awarded $20 million in Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI) grant funding. A total of $500 million was awarded in the State.

Launched by Gov. Holcomb and led by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), READI builds on the framework and successes of the Indiana Regional Cities Initiative and the 21st Century Talent Initiative, encouraging regional collaboration and data-driven, long-term planning that, when implemented, will attract and retain talent in Indiana.

Arts Center Part of Economic Development Plan

The 180 Alliance logo is derived from the fact the six counties make up a half-circle, or 180-degrees, around the north, west, and south side of Indianapolis. ________________________

The Plainfield Performing Arts Center is one of projects proposed to be supported by the 180 Alliance to enhance arts and culture in the six-county region. The strategy is that when arts thrive, a community thrives, and so does the region and state. ______________________________________________

Dollar General Plans for RNG #9 Coming To... Plant Filed

Plans are being made for Hendricks County’s 9th Dollar General to be located at New Winchester.

On the Hendricks County Area Plan Commission’s public hearing agenda for January 11, 2022 is the petition to rezone 3.05 acres located south of the intersection of US 36 and SR 75 from Agricultural Residential to Neighborhood Business District.

If plans are approved, Hendricks County will have nine Dollar General Stores: two at Danville, and one each at Brownsburg, Lizton, Pittsboro, Plainfield, North Salem and Stilesville.

New Winchester’s plat was filed on December 23, 1834 with 48 lots. A post office operated there from 1837 to 1904.

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: Hyperbole possessed Gladys in August 1890 when The Republican correspondent proclaimed, “If improvements still continue, Center Valley will in the near future be a capital city.”

A local woman had bought out a Clayton milliner, with plans to operate from her home.

“The next ‘boom’ for the town” was a printing office, set to open soon. “Many changes have been made in our business block within the past few years.”

Gladys, sadly, failed as a prognosticator. Center Valley never became a metropolis; the library files it with other county ghost towns.

At one time, it claimed a store, post office and smithy.

That June, 75 girls from seven communities including Lebanon and Bloomington gathered at Center Valley for the first annual Mother Hubbard picnic, all dressed in negligee robes. They enjoyed a four-course meal, and that’s all Gladys had to say about it.

More than a few notables came from the Center Valley area in Liberty Township south of Belleville.

Merchant and farmer William R. Craven sired Eva, who married attorney and prosecutor John Underwood. Her sister Jennie was married to Indiana Governor Samuel Ralston.

Brother John was long-time registrar at Indiana University. Her brother Charles Arthur became an Indiana state bank examiner.

Another sister, Etta, married Julian Hogate, editor of The Republican.

Brother Oscar Craven attended Central Normal in Danville and Indiana University.

After a brief teaching stint. he founded The Daily World newspaper in Bloomington. He later became Bloomington postmaster.

Eva’s son, Theodore Dillon, hailed from Center Valley. The West Point graduate commanded a regiment of engineers in WWI. The paper claimed the colonel was the highest-ranking county-born military man in the war. He was at Saint-Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne as 1st Army assistant chief engineer. He reached brigadier general’s rank before retiring in 1919.

Judge George W. Brill was born on a farm near Center Valley in 1859.

Revolutionary War veteran Mathew Jones rests at Center Valley Cemetery south of Belleville, just off Ind. 39. He died in July 1836, age 78.

Center Valley’s first Primitive Baptist church, made of logs, dated to 1834. It was torn down in 1856 and replaced with a frame building. Fifty years later, the church was thoroughly remodeled.

The congregation began Aug. 3, 1832, in William M. Craven’s home, meeting there for roughly two years until the log building went up in what was then Morgan County.

County lines were reconfigured later on.

Someone stole a horse and buggy from the church hitch rack one October night in 1917. Boys School escapees were believed to be behind the theft.

The following February, Elisha Smith paid a $15 fine for failing to secure a poultry dealer’s license.

The Epworth League and Christian Endeavor Society circulated petitions in 1896 which were “generally signed” calling for the proprietor of the Center Valley “quart saloon” to shut down. I’m confident the joint is now closed.

Research filed at the library reports a bituminous macadam road was built from Belleville south beyond Center Valley to the county line in 1917. Since it was “the smoothest road near Indianapolis,” Marmon and Stutz cars were road tested there before their bodies were installed. Test drivers sat on wood boxes, motoring at speeds of 50-60 mph.

I.U. Registrar John W. Craven, discovering Center Valley had been removed from the county map (because it was not a town), used his influence to have it restored. A recent map tells me that this tale is true.

In 1910, John purchased nine acres of the old homestead, including the mineral spring “whose limpid waters have for years gone to waste.”

He planned to raise Shorthorn chickens and Leghorn cattle, and to grow the mint necessary for mint julep. Because radish leaves and lettuce roots are wasted, he believed he had developed, “in a secluded ravine in Monroe County,” a combination plant to resolve the problem.

Brother Arthur, harkening back to his younger days “when he planted many an acre,” put on a show in 1922 demonstrating he still had the knack.

True, he could still plant a straight row. “All nature was rejoicing; the birds were singing just as they did thirty-five years ago.” After two hours he discovered there was no corn in the planter.

Publisher’s Point of View Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Last week my oldest brother passed away from Parkinson’s Disease. May not be the best way to start off a column, but it’s too late now.

The death of someone you care about can be a good time to reflect on the big things in life. What is important to you? Who is important to you?

To reflect on your journey in life. To think about your future and what path you are on.

Is it the path you want to be on?

To take measure of your position in the community. Could you do more for the community? How much longer do you have above ground to do these things?

This is a good time of year to reflect on those important things in your life. Take a minute for yourself right now, before the new year revs up. Celebrate the good things in your life. Reflect on the memories of those in your life that have passed. Do something extra for those in your life now. And give winks. Everyone loves getting a wink, especially this time of year. ;-) But enough of that. It is Christmas time and the new year is around the corner.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at The Republican newspaper to all of you, your family and your friends.

A Tribute

My brother was like a mushroom. He was a fungi. Seriously though, he loved people and he loved puns. At every gathering he would keep his ears open for an opportunity.

Talking about playing sports, “I used to be afraid of hurdles, but I got over it.” Once when everybody was quiet for a split second he said, “It’s like a bowling alley in here. You can hear a pin drop.” Or, “My friend David lost his ID, now I just call him Dav.”

Ask him, “What are you up to?” and his reply every time? “5’10” - my dad always said I would reach the height of stupidity” As we said our goodbyes at the cemetery, I could almost hear him say, “I’ve been dying to get in here.” Rest in peace, big brother. ___________

Avon Superintendent Honored For Community Engagement

Avon Community School Corporation (ACSC) Superintendent Dr. Scott Wyndham has been selected as a 2021 Superintendent to Watch by the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA). Wyndham joins just 19 other superintendents nationwide who were honored for their innovative and effective use of DR. WYNDHAM technology to engage and inform the school community, and to expand two-way communication and outreach efforts.

Wyndham became Superintendent a few months after the COVID-19 pandemic halted in-person learning across the US. In his first weeks in the role, Avon’s 12 schools were some of the first schools in the country to open on time for in-person learning. For two school years, his clear, honest communication has been a consistent and vital factor not only in navigating the pandemic, but in leading his diverse, suburban school district through a season of enrollment growth, redistricting, construction, and hiring. His regular communication—videos, podcasts, e-blasts, newsletters, community meetings, classroom visits, faculty meetings, and more—has kept the district and community informed and focused on the vision of ensuring all belong, learn, and grow in Avon.

Wyndham is quick to deflect praise and share the spotlight. “I love being Superintendent of Avon Schools,” he said. “I’m honored to serve on a team with outstanding School Board members, administrators, educators, and support staff. Our students continually amaze me with their intelligence, creativity, energy, and spirit. I’m honored to be recognized as a 2021 Superintendent to Watch and will continue pointing to all the individuals who make our school corporation and community great.”

“I work very closely with our Superintendent as I have throughout my 16 years of board service. In that time, I have worked with exemplary superintendents, including Dr. Scott Wyndham. And, in that same time, I have never witnessed a superintendent with more communication needs and requirements thrust upon them,” said Avon Board of School Trustees President Kim Woodward.

“Thankfully, he is adept at all forms of communication and has used that prowess to ensure that crucial messages to parents, teachers, students, and administration were timely and complete.”

“Strong communication at the district level continues to be more important than ever in keeping school families, employees, students and community stakeholders well-informed and engaged,” said NSPRA Executive Director Barbara M. Hunter, APR. “We’re proud to recognize this year’s recipients, who are committed to championing innovative communication efforts as an integral part of their district’s success.”

Since the 2015-16 school year, NSPRA has recognized 102 school district leaders as Superintendents to Watch.

Honorees must have fewer than five years of experience as a superintendent and must demonstrate dynamic, fastpaced leadership with strong communication at its core. ______________________________________________ SHOP LOCAL ● BUY LOCAL ● READ LOCAL

Items from Christmas Past

By Jackie Horn We took a look back at Christimas issues of The Republican - that is, issues that were published on December 25.

Happy Winter!

As you’re reading this, winter is here. It arrived this year at 10:59 AM on Tuesday. No bells were rung. No one set off fireworks. Hallmark doesn’t offer a card to celebrate the day but one of my favorite days of the year quietly came... and went.

The first day of winter or December solstice has the shortest period of daylight of the year. Why in the world would the first day of winter be anyone’s favorite day?

I love sunshine. Between shortening days leading up to the solstice and the end of Daylight Savings Time in November, many of us don’t get much natural light. We drive to work as the sun is just rising and return home as it’s setting. Beginning December 22, every day will have more seconds, minutes, then hours of daylight. At first, it is only seconds more. By January 21, a mere month after the solstice, we will have gained a whopping 30 minutes more of daylight! By the first day of spring or the vernal equinox, the sun is up for 12 hours, nearly 3 hours longer than in December! The trend continues until June 21 when our area gets almost 15 hours of daylight! After the summer or June solstice, also called midsummer, daytime decreases again.

While there aren’t greeting cards for the solstice, the event has been marked for over 12,000 years. Sites such as Stonehenge align with the sunset on the winter solstice.

Ancient Hebrew legends tell of Adam fasting before the winter solstice and celebrating after. From eastern Asia, India, and Scandinavia, many cultures around the world celebrate the solstices with festivals and holidays. It isn’t a coincidence that we observe Christmas around the solstice. Biblical scholars can’t agree on a true birthday for Jesus Christ but all do agree it wasn’t in December. Early Christian missionaries and church leaders wanting to ease pagan converts into their new religion, tied the birth of Christ to the established Pagan feasts and celebrations taking place around the winter solstice.

I love more daylight but I could also use more warmth.

Why is it that as the hours of daylight increase, the temperatures are colder? It’s called seasonal lag. According to the analogy I found, the Earth is like a rock around a fire pit. It takes a long time for heat to dissipate from the rocks as a fire slowly dies. Once they’re cold, it takes a while for them to warm back up after restarting the fire. Remember, the Earth is only receiving a few seconds more of light and heat per day in December. It takes a while to build the heat back up. Just as temperatures in July and August are warmer than in June immediately after the solstice, January and February are the coldest months of the year after the winter solstice.

Yes, winter is just beginning. We have at least three months of cold weather ahead of us. Even if December 21st is just another day on the calendar for you, more daylight is something to celebrate.

Happy Belated Winter Solstice! _____________________________________________

Danville Weekly Advertiser December 25, 1852 This is Christmas - and the day was ushered in with the customary juvenile cry of “Christmas gift” from all quarters. It is a happy day for the young folks; and in some portions of the world the most prominent holiday of the year for people of all ages In the Southern States, it is the commencement of a week’s cessation from toil, and of comparative freedom for the slave.

Hendricks County Union December 25, 1873 From the notes of preparation heard in the halls of the Court House for two days past, we are quite certain there is a good time in store for the boys and girls. Old Santa remembers his young friends in Danville and has filled chuck full with goodies little lace stockings.

NATURE’S XMAS GIFT

MOST BEAUTIFUL SIGHT Rarely have the people of this community seen as pretty a slight as on Monday and Tuesday when the trees, shrubbery and wire fences were covered with a heavy layer of frozen mist, making ornaments more delicate than the hand of man could possibly do. The explanation lies in the fact that the air and all objects were thoroughly chilled.

A south wind heavily laden with moisture began to blow.

The moisture carried by the wind was congealed. But no mere scientific explanation can lessen the beauty of the sight.

Our Readers Write

A Note From Bee A surprising number of children are afraid of Santa Claus. They are also afraid of the Easter Bunny and clowns. My niece Barb was terrorized by Santa Claus.

Her Uncle John thought he was doing a good thing by visiting her house on Christmas Eve. He bought a Santa Suit.

He had to have a mask otherwise Barb would recognize him.

The mask he came up with was a Halloween mask.

He did not realize how scary it would be to a 2 year old.

Barb’s parents left the front door open and Santa knocked on the storm door. Poor little Barb went to the doorook one look at Santa, and ran crying to her bedroom and climbed under her bed. It took her mother at least a half hour to calm her down and coax her from under the bed.

From then on Christmas Eve was a nightmare. Barb would start crying as soon as she got in bed knowing Santa Claus would come sometime while she was asleep. Her mother or father had to sleep with her every Christmas eve. Surprisingly, her behavior did not affect her brother and sister. She asked her parents to have Santa leave the Christmas gifts outside. There were no pictures with Santa. It got so bad her mother wanted to tell her there was no Santa when she was about five. Her dad objected to that but by the time she was six, he agreed because every Christmas eve was so traumatic for everyone. After she knew the truth Christmas Eve became pleasant. As a joke she did get a picture with Santa when she was 27.

Just An Observation

Memories

Hopefully by now the frantic Christmas shopping for that perfect gift is over and everyone can relax and enjoy the holidays.

Some people can remember almost all the Christmas gifts they received as children, but not me. The only one that sticks in my mind is one I received when I was about six. It was a huge crayon and colored pencil set. Even at that young age it somewhat filled me with trepidation – all those choices were mind boggling to me. Must be why I grew up to be a bookkeeper. But I never think about that gift without also thinking about my older, so handsome cousin coming to visit that day.

The best Christmas gifts are the memories we associate with that day. Every year my Dad would ask me what I wanted for Christmas (even when I was all grown up) and when I didn’t know he would say “how about some surprises?” My grandparents had 11 grandchildren and not much money and when we reached a certain age at Christmas we each received $.50. I still have the last $.50 my grandma gave me and remember fondly all those Christmas dinners in their small house bursting with people. It was wonderful!

I can still see my nephew sticking the bows in his hair as he ripped open his packages. Forever etched in my memory (hopefully) is our son bounding down the stairs to get to the tree to see what the Jolly Old Guy had left for him.

Instead of trying to find just the right thing for everyone, let’s concentrate instead on making memories. Take time to play games with the kids, watch a favorite movie, read books out loud, go to Christmas Eve church service.

Trust me those are the things that will be remembered long after the latest gizmo and gadget are thrown out. What is important is family and being together.

And don’t forget that Jesus is the reason for the season!

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy

To the Editor: We would like to give a Special Thank You to the Danville United Methodist Church at 820 West Mill Street.

The “Live Nativity” was very well presented and you are to be thanked for a refocus of the real season for our celebrating Christmas. Indeed Jesus Christ is the real reason for the season. May God bless all of your efforts to present God’s Greatest Gift to the community and to people who are in need of having their thoughts and focus moved from self to what we can do to bring others to seek God’s will and direction in their lives.

Thank you again. It was a real blessing to our family!

SUDOKU SOLUTION

“Christmas gift!” Archy shouted merrily as I approached. “I know it’s early, but I wanted to be the first.”

Somehow, the squirrel must have become acquainted with the old greeting and the custom of the first to say it receiving a gift.

“I don’t have a gift for you right now,” I said, wishing there were a nearby roasted chestnut vendor.

“It wasn’t a demand,” he answered. “It was a statement.

My gift is a new Christmas memory for you.”

I suddenly felt other memories crowding my thoughts.

I remembered when I was little, I would hear scraping noises on the roof and think that they were made by light-footed reindeer.

“That’s an old squirrel tradition,” Archy said. “We enjoy making the world a little more magical when we can.”

I remembered my father throwing extra bales of hay from the mow into the feeder for the cows on Christmas and how it felt a little like being Santa when it was my turn to do it.

There was the small cedar tree, cut from the hillside, with homemade decorations of construction paper and aluminum foil.

I recalled the school bus driver handing each departing passenger a brown paper sack with peanuts in the shell and an orange.

And I still listen to John Henry Faulk’s Christmas Story on NPR every year.

“See,” the squirrel said. “Christmas memories are an accumulation. I daresay it takes up more space in your memory bank than any other subject.”

He was right, of course, but there’s always room to make one more.

Christmas Scents Make Sense (& Memories)

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Christmas Scents When you come through the door, the aroma of bread baking makes your taste buds come alive and wonderful memories come to mind.

Use the olfactory sense to make your house welcoming during the holidays. Use fresh-cut pine wreaths, arrangements, garlands and, of course, the Christmas tree. The smell will immediately put all in a holiday mood.

You can buy cinnamon-scented pinecones. Or make your own by washing and drying the cones. Then spritz with a solution of water mixed with essential oils like cinnamon or orange; seal in a plastic bag for a couple of days.

Then remove cones and let them air dry. M-m-m Candy cane lover? The smell of peppermint is an instant attitude lifter. Make your own, using a sweet and spicy peppermint spray made by adding about 20 drops of peppermint essential oil to 8 ounces of distilled water. Pour solution into a spray bottle. Then Spritz everywhere- the furniture, the dog and the drapPeppermint essential oil can eries for a candy-cane fresh be used to make a spray. ________________________ smell.

A Bark From the Past: Henry

[Editor’s Note: Earlier this year, we completed the re-issue of columns by Henry, our first canine corresponded. While we wrapped up Henry’s columns, we wanted to give one another repeat, because the message is timeless.

This column was orginally published in 2009.

Woof! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! My humans didn’t get a lot of stuff from Santa this year. Maybe he didn’t think they’d been good.

But there were some packages for me under the tree on Christmas morning! I guess Sandy Claws must have come while I was asleep. I got a new chew toy and some glowing yellow tennis balls to chase and a package of treats that have real peanut butter in them!

I also hope that all of you have a safe and happy New Year celebration, whatever you do. On the radio, the talking man reminded everyone not to drink and drive.

But, he also said that you shouldn’t text and drive! Can you imagine such a thing?

My humans have been making their New Year’s resolutions again. I still don’t get that. Why do you have to make a special effort to change how you act or what you do? My female human was reading something out loud the other day. She said that you cannot be happy if what you do is not also what you believe. Did it take a really smart human to figure that out? That’s the way we dogs have behaved forever. It’s only natural!

For example, here are some of the things that I believe.

I believe that all animals can live together in peace. For some reason, most humans think that dogs and cats are natural enemies. They are wrong. I and all my brothers and sisters get along with the cats in our house just fine.

Oh, sure, we have our little territorial spats once in a while.

But, most of the time, we get along just great!

I believe that we need to forgive any human or any other animal that hurts us. When I lived in Nebraska with my first humans, they didn’t feed me and they ignored me and they left me out in the cold when I was hurt. But I still loved them and would have licked them if they had come out to see if I was okay.

I believe that we need to treat others just like we want to be treated ourselves. I know that some humans have said this, too. I have been lucky. The humans at Hearts United for Animals were like that. And the humans I have now are like that. Why can’t all humans be that way?

I believe that whatever we want there to be on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge will be there. I don’t want to cross the bridge until I have to. But, when I get there, I won’t be afraid to cross. I know that lots of my old friends will be there, waiting for me! And we will spend all day running and playing, just like we used to!

So, do me a favor, okay? Don’t make New Year’s resolutions that you won’t or can’t keep. Just figure out what you really believe deep down inside. Then, live that way.

You’ll be a lot happier!

Thought for the Day: What Henry said. ______________________________________________

Liquid Candle Make a Liquid Candle: More cost-effective than buying a wax candle. Use a mason jar, use any oil that burns (olive oil in your kitchen cabinet works) and a lantern wick; Add aromatics, like vanilla bean, cinnamon, or clove. Your candle will both look decorative and smell delicious.

Impress your guests too.

Simmer Pot My personal favorite; If you can boil water, you can make your house smell like Christmas. Put a pot of water to simmer on the stove and add 2 cinnamon sticks, 3 small pine branches, a sliced orange, a sliced lemon and cranberries. Your home will be bathed with the warm, spicy scents of the season.

Christmas Memories • The smell of gingerbread with a hot cup of chocolate • afternoons playing games with family.

• the warmth of the wood-burning in the fireplace.

• the whole family opening gifts by the Christmas tree.

Letters To The Editor Much as The Republican’s new owner/publisher’s efforts to offer discussions of contemporary topics is appreciated, it would be equally appreciated if the general position of writer Phillip Gulley was more honestly represented. Mr. Gulley is currently posited to present “progressive” views, whereas contrasting writer David Winters is posited as presenting “conservative” views. This is misleading.

Mr. Gulley should be credited with presenting contemporary liberal positions, not “progressive.” The term liberal has been defined differently throughout history and in different cultures, but in today’s United States, liberals generally favor open borders, homosexual marriage, abortion on demand (preferably taxpayer-funded), lax (if any) voter identification laws, dividing the country into haves and have-nots to create animosity and court the votes of have-nots, eliminating private firearm ownership, encouraging an ever-expanding Federal government and subsequent Federal debt as an answer to every societal problem, and so on; positions generally reflecting the tenets of secular-humanism, not the Judeo-Christian tenets on which The United States of America was founded...and, to date, has been sustained.

Secular-humanist positions can only be viewed as “progressive” if one favors progress toward a society in which each person defines right or wrong for himself, which will logically end in the Godless, lawless chaos now being experienced in larger cities around the country...indeed, in neighboring Indianapolis, as Indianapolis’ murder rate set another annual record long before the end of the year.

Mr. Gulley may try to deny his positions, but I have read enough of his material through the years in his Indianapolis Monthly columns to know those are his beliefs.

His writings to date in The Republican only confirm that which I have observed for decades.

I would welcome the opportunity to challenge many of Gulley’s nonsensical and / or disrespectful statements in the two exchanges that have been printed to date, but it was asked that comments to the exchanges be brief, so refuting his remarks must wait for another time. In the interim, please correct the positions of each writer to record Mr. Gulley’s writings to be those of a liberal if those of Mr. Winters are posited to represent those of a conservative.

Any other general descriptors are misleading, and a disservice to The Republican’s readers.

Christmas has many aromatic smells that evoke family moments, the feeling of life and joy.

Sincerely,

I love you all the way from the top of your head to your mistletoes.

Bob Palma Brownsburg

Merry Christmas

[Editor’s note: The writers supplied their own “labels” of progressive and conservative; the terms were not imposed by The Republican. Neither did we require them to state their pronouns.] ______________________________________________

Christmas Eve in a Country Newspaper

The following was written by Julian Hogate, editor of The Republican, in the December 27, 1906. It recalled an incident some some ten years earlier.

Christmas came on Friday that year, and the day before was press day in the Republican’s office, then located in the second story over McCoun’s store.

All was hustle as the edition was being printed. The tramp compositor as he slid off his stool remarked that it was a tough evening, and he wondered where he would pull for to-morrow. “Christmas eve, no home, no bed, just a tramp,” he said bitterly.

In the front office, the boss was busy closing his books for the day. The merry shouts of children were heard mingled with the rumble of buggies and wagons loaded down with presents starting to country homes.

Then his ear caught the sound of a faltering step coming up the stairway. The door of the office opened and a worn, bent man stood there as with a tremulous voice he asked,” Is this the Republican office?”

“Yes, sir. Come in.”

“Well, I want some bills printed for a sale. Can you print them tomorrow?”

“Not tomorrow, for tomorrow is Christmas and the office will be closed.”

“Tomorrow, Christmas?” said the old man slowly, “so it is, I forgot. Christmas is different when one is old and alone. I don’t like to stay at home since my wife – mother, we all called her – died. Somebody said it was in last week’s paper. You see, I’m goin’ to sell out and go to Ike’s.

He’s in California, you know” The heading had already been written – “Public Sale” “Now, what will you sell?”

“Well, two cows, raised them myself from calves, sir.

Splendid cows. Ought to sell well, but cows are cheap and a ticket to California costs so much.”

“What next?”

“Five head of fat cattle. Not many, but a good many for me. Sold all my hogs. Needed money when mother was sick, you know.”

“I have that. What else, please” “Household goods, lots of ‘em. A feller gets lots o’ stuff in livin’ as long as me and mother. ” “Do you want to name anything?”

“There’s one of them tall clocks. It belonged to my grandmother. Sounds so lonesome now that mother’s gone. Hear it in the night strike 12. ‘Pears like it never’d get through. Makes a feller shiver. Then down at the bottom jes say: ‘My eighty-acre farm will be rented this day.’

Not a good time to rent, but I’m goin’ to California and it won’t make any difference to me.”

The old man arose to leave, and he said as if to himself, “So this is Christmas eve. I’d forgot. Wonder if anybody is real happy. And I wonder if they are, if they think anybody is not happy. I wonder if anybody’ll see any Christmas like we used to have when the boys was at home and Susie and the neighbors’d come in and we’d have such a good time? It allus snowed them Christmases. Now it rains.” And the door closed and the old man felt his way down the darkened hall.

The press had stopped and the boys were gone, and the boss was alone in that cheerless place – a country print shop after night.

To the Editor: Mr. Gulley’s letter of 12/16/21 made his vitriol for former President Trump and Trump voters abundantly clear while failing to build a cogent argument in support of vaccine and mask mandates. Mr. Gulley makes issue of the number of deaths in “our own Trump-heavy county”. Per coronavirus.in.gov there have been 235 deaths per 100K population in Hendricks County as compared to 239 in Marion County (401 vs 2,305 total deaths, respectively). I don’t believe Marion County is a “Trump-heavy county”.

If you believe vaccines work, get vaccinated. I do and I did. If you believe masks work, wear one. The masks most people wear and the way they are worn provide extremely little, if any, benefit.

Studies have shown that vaccines do reduce the risk of contracting Covid and its severity, if contracted. Studies have also shown that vaccines do not preclude a vaccinated person from being a carrier.

Government has a role and responsibility in the health and safety of the citizens. Government should provide complete untainted information to the people on a timely basis along with effective apolitical recommendations and let the people choose for themselves which is best. The government is not responsible for protecting me against myself.

Mr. Gulley’s comments about abortion have no bearing on the “mandate” issue. Since he opened the subject, however, I point out that pregnancy prevention alternatives are available to both men and women at little, if any, cost. If a pregnancy is not desired, use them. Having said that, in the event of an unwanted pregnancy, I do not endorse but would not oppose abortion at the early stages of pregnancy. However, at some point -- perhaps after the first trimester, or after a heartbeat is detected, or after the baby is viable outside the womb – the life of that unborn human being must take priority over the simple desires or wishes of the mother.

“I feel like by hiring me, I allow the small business owner to focus on the business itself rather than the marketing that I can do for them. I do a lot with business social media and things like that,” Zetty said.

The process of developing a pitch was helpful to Zetty, exposing weaknesses in his current business as well as the strengths.

“This was a great opportunity. It was a weird challenge in a way because I had never had to sit down and break the business apart in the way you need to, to pitch to investors or judges in this case. I was able to step back, break it apart and see what’s working and what’s not,” Zetty said.

Located on Iowa Street in Clayton, the store just celebrated one year in operation. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson On Black Friday of 2020, Brittany Ferry saw her dream of owning a consignment/vintage shop become a reality.

In a small store on Iowa Street in Clayton, Ferry has brought her love of shopping and consignment to Hendricks County.

“I started doing consignment when I was 19, going to little shops and stores and eventually branched out to higher-end stores in Louisville and Las Vegas. I decided to bring it all in to one location,” Ferry said.

Originally from Brazil, Ferry chose Hendricks County as a location for her Gypsy’s Den is ready for store due to the large cli- Christmas, with vintage holiday entele she’s built up in the décor. area over the years.

Gypsy’s Den is only open two weekends per month, but Ferry says the limited hours bring in a variety of people from all different areas across the state at one time.

She also offers scheduled appointments for those traveling through.

“We want to still be able to travel and find all these cool things. We’re not an antique store. Everything has been personally sought out and I have a certain aesthetic I go for,” Ferry said.

She loves unique items, “oddities” as she calls it, and things many of us forgot even existed at one time.

“Nearly everyone has told me they feel like their walking into the late 60’s or 70’s,” Ferry said. “So, imagine what the world was like at that time, and you just step right into it when you walk through our doors.”

Annie’s Project Virtual Course Prepares Farm Women to be Decision Makers

Farm women are generating a cultural tide in American agriculture that is moving management, assets, and opportunities to a new wave of farmers across the country.

During Annie’s Project courses, farm women become empowered to be better business partners or sole operators through networks and by managing and organizing critical information.

Annie’s Project, a six-week course, is a discussion-based workshop bringing women together to learn from experts in production, financial management, human resources, marketing, and the legal field. There’s plenty of time for questions, sharing, reacting, and connecting with presenters and fellow participants.

It’s a relaxed, fun, and dynamic way to learn, grow, and meet other farm women. Whether new or experienced, understanding the five areas of agricultural risk, knowing how to analyze agricultural spreadsheets, and other necessary skills are vital. Learning them in a friendly environment where questions and discussion are welcomed, allow the learning process to flourish.

Annie’s Project courses have successfully reached more than 9,000 farm and ranch women in 33 states. Purdue Extension is pleased to be offering classes beginning January 25, 2022 and ending March 1, 2022. This program will be held virtually Tuesday evenings from 6:00 – 9:00pm EST.(5:00 – 8:00pm Central) The scheduled sessions are: Jan. 25, 2022: Introduction; Real Colors- Personality Assessment Feb. 1, 2022: Farm Business Planning; Succession Planning.

Feb. 8, 2022: Grain Marketing; Farm Stress; Crop Insurance Feb. 15, 2022: Computer Software Recordkeeping; Ag Lender’s Perspective

Feb. 22, 2022: Farm Finance; Local Resources Mar. 1, 2022: Farm & Family Insurance; UAV & Ag Tech; Web Soil Survey The cost for the virtual course is $75 per person, which includes a workbook and support materials for all sessions.

We recommend registering early. Registration ends January 14th, 2022. Register at https://cvent.me/01O5AB Linda, an Annie’s Project alumna says, “I took the class to gain a better understanding about agribusiness and how financial decisions impact our farm operation. I have a better understanding of balance sheets and the futures market…this class has improved communication with my spouse on concerns he works with on a daily basis.”

Warriors Upset Lebanon, Score Win Over Plainfield

Tyler Dostin sets up offense in first half vs. Plainfield

By David Winters Danville Town employees and guests enjoyed a holiday luncheon and awards event at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds last Friday.

Danville Police Dept.’s Jerry Cunningham (above, right) received a plaque from Town Manager Mark Morgan for completing 30 years of service. _____________________________________________

Earns Rank of Eagle Scout

The Danville Boys Basketball program had two games this past week and were looking to continue theit winning ways after a lopsided victory over Cascade the week before. The Lebanon Tigers made the trip down State Road 39 for the conference match up.

The Warrior first quarter gave the fans the feeling that this would be a well-fought game but would ultimately be another win for their favorite team and they led 13-9 after the first quarter. The Tigers, however, would have different plans and they contained the Danville offense in the second quarter while finding their own offensive groove and outscored the Danville 21-12 in the quarter, taking a 30-25 lead into halftime.

Lebanon would run a steady offense in the third quarter while holding the Warriors to just six points. They led 47-31 going into the fourth quarter. It is understatement to say that, at this point the game, the Warriors did not look good and it seemed impossible that they would mount a comeback and overcome the 16-point deficit.

On this night, impossible was not a word known to the team. Danville made adjustments at the quarter break and took the court with laser focus, determined to not go down without a fight. Through a fury of offensive brilliance and defensive stubbornness, the Warriors were able to mount one of the largest fourth quarter comebacks in school history. Not only did they erase the 16-point lead, they ended up outscoring the Tigers 28-6 in the final quarter, giving the fans an exciting experience that will be talked about for a while. Danville won 59-53.

After the game, Coach Barber was heard asking, “Did that really just happen?” Well, Coach, yes It did! What a great win for the team.

Danville also picked up a huge road win against Class 4A Plainfield by a final score of 75-62.

The Warriors are now 5-1 on the season and host the West Lafayette Red Devils on December 22. ______________________________________________

Lady Warriors Score Win Against Lebanon Tigers

By David Winters The Lady Warriors were game one of a Varsity Girls/ Varsity Boys home game doubleheader against the Lebanon Tigers. Danville entered the game on a three-game winning streak and looked to continue their winning ways.

Danville controlled the pace of this game throughout the first half and took a 29-17 lead into the locker room.

They did not let up in the second half and extended their lead to 15 points heading into the 4th quarter with a balanced attack, with eight players getting into the scoring column. The Warriors win their fourth straight game to improve to 7-3 on the season, with a final score of 60-43.

Isabelle Wooten led the team in scoring with 16 points with Haley Godwin adding 10 points. Wooten has dominated the board all year and finished with 14 in this game, adding yet another double-double to her name for the year.

They faced the Frankfurt Hot Dogs in a home game on December 21, but we did not have a score in time for this publication. ______________________________________________

Faith Helps Student Cope With Landscape Company Spreads Blessings Year Round Rare Condition

By Melissa Gibson When Cedarville University sophomore Hannah Bradley walked out on stage as the lead character in “Anne of Green Gables” this fall, it was a stark reminder that a few years ago, she couldn’t walk.

In the fall of 2017, Bradley, a sophomore theatre major from Pittsboro, and her family took a trip to Miami, Florida, to celebrate HANNAH BRADLEY her grandparent’s 50th wedding anniversary. She began experiencing excruciating headaches and nausea. She was taken to the emergency room, an d foiund to be suffering from strep pneumococcal bacterial meningitis.

Before her trip to Florida, the doctors began to wonder if she might have a condition called common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), a rare immune deficiency disease.

“My condition makes it so that I cannot produce my own antibodies,” said Bradley. “I had bacteria in my sinuses that, due to my condition, was attacking my brain. I had a severe form of bacterial meningitis that has only a 25% survival rate.”

Bradley says she remembers nothing after getting to the hospital, but for her parents, it was an agonizing 10 days of waiting while she was intubated and placed in a medically induced coma. Twelve days after going to the hospital Bradley woke up. After 24, she took a medical flight to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, where she remained for another 26 days for in-patient rehabilitation.

After a total of 50 days in the hospital, Bradley was able to return home where she began the process of re-learning to walk. With additional therapy, after moving from wheelchair to walker to cane, Bradley was able to move normally again.

Not only is Bradley able to walk, but she dances and sings on stage. A musical theater lover age 4, she feared long-term effects might keep her from appearing on stage again.

“I remember seeing the date in the hospital and telling my mom that I was supposed to be in my high school production of ‘Sherlock Holmes’ that day,” said Bradley.

“She told me that the school had postponed the play until I was able to perform.”

For Bradley, the experience almost served as an answer to prayer.

“I had been struggling with my faith. This experience taught me to completely trust God. I struggle with asking for help. But after my coma, I couldn’t walk, brush my hair, put on my own glasses. I became dependent, on others and on God. He taught me to submit and depend and trust through that experience.”

She currently studies musical theatre and was the lead in Cedarville University’s fall production of “Anne of Green Gables.” She will also be participating in this year’s winter musical in the chorus and ensemble and will be the stage manager of this year’s spring play.

“Christians always talk about living with a sense of urgency, of not knowing what day will be your last,” said Bradley. “I know that God kept me on earth for a reason, and in whatever I do, I want to glorify him with my story.” ___________

It all kind of happened out of desperation.

Elliot and Hannah Hughes found themselves newly married, in the midst of a COVID lockdown, and both had lost their jobs due to the pandemic.

Without a ton of experience, the couple decided to start Infinite Grace, a landscaping company that works with mulch, rock installation, landscape design and paving to name a few.

“It’s really a testament to what God is able to do,” Elliot Hughes said. “He blessed our hands and we learned as we went. We started in April of 2020 and things just took off.”

The Christian couple pray before every job, are strong volunteers with the WayMaker addiction recovery home in Plainfield and have never spent a dime on advertising. Yet, with many good friends, experts in the field and an uncanny way of befriending clients with their honesty and hard work, the business has been a success.

“We were living by faith, and always seemed to stay a week ahead with different jobs. This year, our goal was to go from one full-time employee to four or five and to purchase two trucks. We tripled our revenue in year one and now, we’re booked out about a month at a time,” Hughes said.

They suggest contacting and even booking large

Elliot and Hannah Hughes launched Infinite Grace in the spring of 2020. _______________________________________________________________________________

spring jobs as soon as you know when you want to proceed. The earlier customers start the conversation, the faster they can get on the schedule and the team at Infinite Grace can take advantage of these warmer December days.

Most of all, they pride themselves on being honest and customer satisfaction.

“Being a Christian company, it’s no secret who we represent,” Hughes said.

“We don’t just want that to be for show. I’m willing to tell a customer that this project isn’t in our wheelhouse right now or even suggest someone that might be better for this particular job and I think people appreciate your honesty. We never want to overpromise and underdeliver. If it’s not up to the customer’s standards, we’re not leaving until you’re willing to give us a five-star review. The people are more important than the dollar sign, and we want to be known for representing Christ everywhere we go.”

During the winter, Infinite Grace also offers

In October, professional Christmas light installation is underway with the schedule filling up quickly. ___________________________________________________

Christmas light installation – another project clients want to book early in the year.

“We offer a leasing model with custom lighting.

We found, supplying the lights allows us to provide the right lengths for your home, making it look more professional. Of course, we discuss colors and design with the client and in that package, we include installation, removal, storage and service calls,” Hughes said.

Whether the client doesn’t want to get up on the ladder each winter or it would be a potential risk due to physical or health related issues, many appreciate the holiday project getting done professionally..

“I think most of us love Christmas and the lights get us into the holiday spirit,”

Hughes said.

Again, Hughes believes the best time to schedule is year-round.

“There are jobs we can do in the winter and of course, we’ll have more availability. The winter is a great time to schedule mulching or new landscape design at the start of spring,” Hughes said. “The Christmas lights service fills up very quickly. We start installing mid-October and leave them up till after the holidays, but at any time, we welcome working with you, planning ahead and getting projects on the schedule.

Infinite Grace services the Hendricks County area.

The company provides professional landscape design. They’re willing to listen to the customer and execute paving work, rock installation and more.

Main Street, #104, Danville, IN 46122.

The petition for adoption alleges that the consent to adoption of Robin Campbell and/ or Unknown Father is not required because they have each failed to maintain a relationship with or provide support to the child who has been in the custody of another person prior to the filing of the Petition. It is in the child’s best interests to dispense with Robin Campbell’s and Unknown Father’s consents.

If Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father seek to contest the adoption of the child, Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court not later than thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice.

If Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father do not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice the above named court will hear and determine the petition for adoption. The consent to adoption of Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father will be irrevocably implied and Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father will lose the right to contest either the adoption or the validity of Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father’s implied consent to the adoption.

No statement made to Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father relieves Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father of Robin Campbell and/or Unknown Father’s obligations under this notice.

This notice complies with IC 31-19-4.5-3 but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes.
