Ham Stand!

If Danville issued its own historical markers, there would likely be one in the parking lot behind the building housing the offices of Kendall, Wood, Lowry & Kessinger, on the southeast corner of Washington and Main. It would read: “On this site, October 4, 1958, Boy Scouts of America Troop 301 had their first annual Hickory Smoked Ham Bar-B-Q.” Boy Scout Troop 301 will be hosting its 63rd annual Ham Stand on Labor Day Weekend in the parking lot of The Mower Zone, 1120 W Main Street, Danville.

The Ham Stand provides whole, sliced and chopped hams that have been cooked on outdoor wood cookers by scouts, using a special sauce that is also prepared by the troop.

In addition, scouting families provide homemade desserts that include apple pies, chocolate cake, and persimmon cookies.

SERVING HENDRICKS COUNTY SINCE 1847

The Republican

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner takes items from

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

Draft horses pull a wagon with a bangboard. Workers would walk alongside the wagon, pulling ears of corn from the stalk, tossing them at the board so they would fall into the wagon. _______________________________________________________________________________

To the Editor: Early Hendricks County farming owed much of its success to the massive descendants of Hyracotherium – the dawn horse. The draft horse arguably was the cynosure in turning virgin prairie sod and forest floor. It was the omphalos of much harvest.

My family worked with horses well into the 20th century. My aunt recalls my dad and grandfather hand husking corn during winter, throwing ears into high-sided wagons drawn by two horses. They’d come in at night with icicles hanging from their noses. They were still harvesting corn that way Dec. 7, 1941. When two hired hands heard the news of Pearl Harbor, they departed immediately for their Army units and never returned.

Plainfield’s John S. Moore bought 1,700-pound Scotland Glory, “the imported Clyde horse,” in the spring of 1886 for $2,000. “Competent judges” reportedly said the “beautiful dapple brown” stallion was “undoubtedly the finest draft horse” in the county. At stud, his price was $15 per mare. Moore’s advertisement avowed the stallion was considered “by the best judges to be the finest draft horse” in Indiana.

“Admirers of this class . . . will find Hercules the ideal horse,” front-page readers discovered in April 1886. The 1,800-pound Percheron Norman was said to possess “the best action of any draft horse in the county.” Owner George A. Guthrie was “a superior breeder. Any farmer would admire his colts.”

By the 1880s, farmers knew their two- and three-year-old Clydesdale, Shire, Norman and Percherons could fetch $150-$200 each for city carriage duties.

“The shrewdest man is he who quickly hastens to supply a growing demand,” The Republican advised in late October 1884. The St. Louis Fair offered a $300 premium for exhibiting the best pair of carriage horses.

Others swore by oxen, as a column in March 1882 attested. “For turning under a heavy sod there is nothing to equal a good pair of oxen. They may be a little slow at their work, but it will be well done if they are managed by a good driver.”

Township assessors set a rate that overall was “fairly and equitably fixed,” according to The Republican in April 1883. A pair of oxen assessed at $100, as did top mules. A No. 1 horse was assessed at $100 while a year-old was set at $25.

Oxen in 1832 were taxed at 37-1/2 cents.

A pound of bacon was assessed 10 cents. A sewing machine was fixed at $10. A ton of ice was $3. One thousand bricks were set at $5.

“Breaking steers is a Connecticut boy’s pastime and pride,” a reprinted article reported in November 1884. Training began when calves were six months old. They were taught to obey basic commands. “The steers are fit for some kinds of light service at three, efficient at four, and in perfection as oxen at five.”

H.H. Thompson, two miles west and about a mile north of Danville, advertised a 141/2 hand jack of “good length and good style” from April through August 1885.

“His mules show for themselves.”

I was confused because he sold his farming operation the previous November, including two farm wagons, his farming tools, more than two dozen mules, an English draft stallion, two milk cows, a heifer, 10 brood sows, 10 shoats, the hay in his barn, “five to 15 hundred bushels of corn,” and “a nice pony.”

Perhaps he operated from the farm owned by J.W. Thompson Sr., which was found at that location.

He stood his draft horses in 1884 for $6-$8 “to ensure a living colt.”

Two years earlier, Thompson stood English Draft, French Norman and two jacks for farmers and breeders.

Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas drew many from Indiana in pursuit of “the wonderful boom,” but The Republican reminded readers desirous of “land flowing with milk and honey” that Hendricks County already offered all farmers could want.

Our county already had “rich soil, and an abundance of bluegrass, stock water and market facilities, with no record of any total failure of crops; with a well-bred line of desirable cattle, draft and driving horses, the future of our county is based upon a foundation which will safely hold any structure we may desire to build upon it.”

Bayer Fund Grants Help Farmers Grow Communities The Bayer Fund announced the kickoff of the 2022 America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, which has been revamped to make it even easier for farmers across the country to find and fund the organizations and institutions that keep their communities thriving.

From now 2 to November 1, eligible farmers can enroll for the chance to direct a donation to a local eligible nonprofit organization, school STEM or youth agriculture program. For 2022, Bayer Fund will double the individual donations to $5,000, up from $2,500 in previous years.

America’s Farmers initiatives have awarded more than $60 million to thousands of schools and nonprofit organizations. Since the creation of Grow Communities in 2010, farmers have played a key role in directing funds to programs and organizations that contribute to their communities’ health and vibrancy, such as food banks, schools and agriculture programs.

In 2020 a Hendricks County farmer directed a Grow Communities donation to the Cascade High School FFA to help build a greenhouse at the school. In 2021, another local farmer directed his donation to the Tri-West Dollars for Scholars program to proved scholarships for graduating seniors.

Farmers are eligible to enroll in Grow Communities if they are 21 years of age or older and are actively engaged in farming at least 250 acres of any crop.

“In addition to increasing the individual donation amounts in 2022, we’re excited to evolve Grow Communities to make it easier for farmers to take part,” said Al Mitchell, Bayer Fund President. “Over the years we’ve heard from countless farmers and Grow Communities recipients about the ways the donations have made a positive impact across rural America. For this reason, Bayer Fund is excited to continue the Grow Communities tradition.”

To enroll or learn more about Grow Communities, including program eligibility and rules, farmers can visit www.AmericasFarmers.com or call 1-877-267-3332 tollfree. Winners will be announced January 2022. ______________________________________________

A program at the Hendricks County Jail is giving a second chance to some who may have never felt they had a chance in the first place.

Recently, the second graduating class of the IN2WORK program received their certificates. Unlike the first graduating class, when local officials were invited to attend, this celebration was low-key, due to the COVID 19 resurgance.. The jail staff still wanted to do something special for the graduates so they purchased lunch for them from a local restaurant. The certificates were presented and their photo posted on social media.

The IN2WORK program is operated by Aramark, an established leader in the food service industry, within the Hendricks County Jail. In the three-phase program, the students learn kitchen basics and can earn their “ServeSafe” Certification.

“We need them for 4-6 weeks in order to teach both our IN2WORK Kitchen Basics and the ServSafe material,” explained IN2WORK instructor David Neeley. “Then we schedule a graduation.”

From the first class, Neeley reports one graduate continuing with the program within the Indiana Department of Corrections, while another is working in a fast-food restaurant in Brownsburg, using the skills he learned in class at Hendricks County Jail..

The second graduating class earned the manager level certification, which they can take with them when they re-enter the community.

Neeley said that two of the graduates wanted to share their experience so he had them write down their thoughts.

He wanted to share them with our readers to show why Aramark and Hendricks County Jail added this program.

Graduate Carey King wrote: “I want to start by saying thanks for the life skills and for the new trade. I joined the In2Work class with the hope of giving myself an opportunity to succeed after my incarceration is finished. I feel as if I have also boosted my confidence in myself as well as my outlook on my future. I raised my level of knowledge of cooking skills as well as my kitchen skills. So in the end, I have made myself more useful in a higher caliber of kitchen and in turn will have a true shot at a real career.”

Another member of the class, Joe Rogers, expressed his feelings about the program: “When I became an inmate worker almost two months ago and discovered the In2Work program, I probably would not have at that time believed I would be in where I am now. It helped many things fall into place that I think otherwise would never have fallen to begin with. I started all of this incarcerated and waiting for sentencing, homeless, and with no job and no one in my corner. And 2 months later, I have 2 certificates, heading to work release, I have an employer excited and working harder than even my lawyer is to get me out so that I can begin my new job at Rockstar Pizza. There, I will be actively using the tools I was so graciously given

by Dave, Aramark, and Hendricks County Jail. No words could ever truly express my thanks and gratitude. I fully intend to instead show my thanks by not wasting this gift and repeat my same past mistakes but to instead see if I can take the path ahead that has been less traveled and see how far is goes instead.”

Farm Receives Centennial Award

The Dillon Farm in Hendricks County recently received a Hoosier Homestead Centennial Award for being in operation since 1917, according to State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) and State Sen. John B. Crane (R-Avon).

“Hoosier farms are the foundation of our community and state,” Thompson said. “Without the hard work of local famers like the Dillon family, many of the goods and services we depend on would be hard to come by. Congratulations to all the Hoosier Homestead award recipients, and thank you for your contributions to Indiana.”

The Dillon Farm was among 73 recognized at the Indiana State Fair for their commitment to Indiana agriculture.

“Having longstanding farms, such as the Dillon’s, in our backyard is an honor,” Crane said. “They have stood the test of time and continue to be an important part of our agricultural community. I wish them all the best in the future.”

The Hoosier Homestead Award Program recognizes farms owned and maintained by the same family for 100 years or more.

Families can qualify for centennial, sesquicentennial or bicentennial awards.

Each year, two awards ceremonies are held in the spring and summer commemorating the achievements of farm families across the state. For more information on the Hoosier Homestead Award Program, visit in.gov/isda. ___________

Getting to Know Disc Golf in Hendricks County

A Note From Bee

About five years after my father-law died, my mother in-law (Irene) said she was going to get married to Edgar. They met at the Senior Citizen center. Irene was very lonesome and Edgar was very lonesome. Irene was probably 77 and Edgar, 82. We liked Edgar. They had both been married during the depression and just went to a minister to get married. No celebration.

They came to dinner to discuss their coming wedding.

We were very surprised to hear their plans for the wedding. Their plans were very different from what we had in mind. They wanted the wedding in Irene’s church and the reception at Edgar’s church with 200 guests. Irene would invite all the members of her church. Edgar would invite all the members of his church plus the senior citizen group.

We had thought have the ceremony at Irene’s church with only immediate family and dinner afterwards. A few days later, take cake and punch to Senior Citizen center. Obviously there had to be some compromising.

We asked them what was the least number of guests Seasoned disc-letes get ready to tee off at W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park’s 18-hole disc golf course. From left, Corey they wanted at their wedding. Seventy-five, they said.

That seemed reasonable.

Your Should Be Keeping A Garden Journal

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Keep history of the garden Start keeping a history of your garden. You will be amazed how your garden changes through the years. If you are like me, you find new plants so appealing to add.

Then, get rid of plants that were just too much work (needy of water or some other trait.)

Start by Photos: Bring your camera and wander through the garden taking photos of your beautiful flowers.

Shoot anything that catches your eye.

Entire garden views will help to achieve your vision for a particular space.

Some of photos serve a more practical purpose - photos of empty spaces or a too-crowded bed - is a reminder to remedy that next year.

Photos are a useful addition to the memos about the area you have jotted down. Note: You will get your best photos in early morning or in the early evening hours.

Take photos of other gardens too, make notes on what you see, that you love and want to add to your garden.

Records: 1. Insect pests: control. Time of year they appear 2. When to stake plants.

3. Pruning and dead heading times. 4. When to fertilize certain plants.

5. These, along with any other chores you need to remind yourself of, will make gardening easier for you the following year.

Plans: Need to thin iris, Plant a shrub there. Mulch that bed.

Add a vine with trellis. Or hire some help!

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, which ran in 2006 - 2010, have been languishing in the computer’s memory and we thought a new audience might enjoy some canine commentary.]

My human was reading the paper the other day and said he read that September was Indiana Archaeology Month.

I wasn’t really sure what that meant until he read some of the article out loud to his mate. It seems that archaeology is digging up stuff from the past and figuring who or what made it, used it, or buried it. Archeology month is to encourage all the citizens of Indiana to discover their ancestors to see if they could find some things their ancestors had left. Well, when my human mentioned digging, I knew this was for me.

As soon as my human let me into the back yard, I started committing archaeology. I guess humans have to use picks and shovels and trowels and such, but let me tell you, when it comes to archaeology, nothing beats a good set of toenails. I must have arched 15 or 16 holes and it only took me a couple of hours!

And did I find some neat stuff! I dug up three rusty square nails, a bottle cap, a broken piece of porcelain with some pretty flowers painted on it, a whole platoon of plastic toy soldiers, and six dinosaur bones that smelled just like ham. Oop, just a second.

I have investigated those dinosaur bones, and I think they are actually bones that I buried myself. There’s no point in arching stuff that you buried yourself, so I put them back and covered them up for someone else to find in the future.

Anyway, I piled all the stuff I found on the back porch. I can hardly wait for my human to wake up from his nap and come out here. Boy, is he going to be surprised!

TDP Dance Company Moves to New Location 1st Annual Recovery Awareness Music & Arts Festival

Classes have begun at the new Avon studio. Pictured: Cora Schmitt, Aubree Yantiss, Haleigh Menser, Rhyan Pendygraft, Kayla Carr, Allie Holt, Aubrey Noland, Alexa Schmitt, Hadley Menser, Emerson Belton, Violet Winston, Sydney Belton, Kaelynn Osweiler, Lexi Mercurio and Sadie Mercurio. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson The former Dancer’s Place on U.S. 36 in Avon has a new location.

The well-known building served as The Dancers’ Place under Terry Click since 1980 but today, current owner Danielle Yantiss is continuing to grow and develop the long-time business with a rebranded name, TDP Dance Company.

“I have danced there my whole life,” Yantiss said. “I started teaching at the age of 16 and around seven years ago, Terry came to me planning her retirement and asked if I wanted to take it over.”

They offer jazz, ballet, lyrical, tap and tumbling classes. Students have the option to attend recreational classes with a recital at the end of the year, a competitive team Yantiss created shortly after taking ownership and new, year-round, five-week mini sessions to give students an opportunity to try different genres with less commitment.

Also new this year, is a tumbling/ cheer program where students can learn basic cheerleading stunts, motion stunts and tumbling skills from beginner to advanced.

Continuing to grow, the TDP Dance Company has officially moved to 5250 U.S. Highway 36, Suite 180 and 190 in Avon.

The more than 4,000 square feet

Brooklynn Burris and Kayla Carr won first place at the Nationals competition. _________________________________

offers a full lobby and reception area with three new studio spaces.

“It was a dream of mine to move to a bigger location, so this is just my absolute dream come true,” Yantiss said.

The larger space and additional class options open TDP up for additional young ladies to experience the benefits of dance.

“The girls gain life-long friendships and a support system,” Yantiss said. “We often see the older teens befriend the younger girls. They also learn leadership and team management. You’re not always going to agree on everything, but we learn how to work through that and be hap-

py for each other and each other’s accomplishments.”

Yantiss has also created an environment healthy for staff, students and families.

“I love the families that I’ve been able to be a part of, I love teaching the girls and some of the dance moms are my best friends. I just love that we have that family environment. Almost all of the staff has been dancing there their whole lives and it’s a great, positive atmosphere.”

A dancer’s goals can vary from recreational to dreams of becoming professional and Yantiss hopes to continue developing those skills for her students and watch them grow.

“This could be a lifelong thing for some of them. I’ve heard many girls talk about owning a studio someday,” Yantiss said. “For myself, I didn’t know I’d eventually own a studio, but it was my dream to become a dance teacher. It just became my passion.”

Fall is the best time to sign up to get the most benefit, however interested students can always call and get signed up for a class that fits them, year-round.

TDP Dance Company is celebrating their new location with an open house to the public from 1-4 p.m., Saturday, September 11.

For more information, call 317446-0328 or visit https://tdpdancecompany.com.

As the month of September quickly approaches, celebrated annually as “Recovery Awareness Month” in the U.S., The Willow Center and The Branches Church are proud to announce the First Annual Hendricks County Recovery Awareness Music and Arts Festival, Saturday, September 18, from 5 - 9 p.m. Tickets are only $10, and kids 12 years old and younger can attend for free. The event will take place rain or shine, and guests should bring their own fold-up chairs or blankets.

The event will feature fantastic music from local musicians Chad Mills, Anneliese & Ali, and our headliners for the night, Keller & Cole.

Artwork and handmade goods will be for sale from local makers, including paintings, jewelry, fused glass art, woodwork, and more.

Several community service providers will also have booths setup with information and free goodies, including Care to Change, Sheltering Wings, WayMaker Recovery Home, Cummins Behavioral Health, Hamilton Center, Hendricks Behavioral Hospital, Parents of Addicted Loved Ones, IU Health Addiction Treatment and Recovery Center, Hendricks County Substance Abuse Task Force, Mental Health America of Hendricks County, and our hosts, The Willow Center and The Branches Church.

In-between music sets, guests will also have the opportunity to hear a story of healing from a person in long term recovery, to hear a message of hope about suicide prevention and awareness, and to see the awarding of the 2021 Hendricks County Recovery Advocate of the Year Award.

Tickets are now on sale on The Willow Center’s website at: http://bit.do/TWC-RAM-Tickets-2021.

A limited amount of tickets will also be on sale at the gate the night of the event. _____________________________________________

Senior Services Supports Residents Dealing with Dementia

By Melissa Gibson

Most Americans have been affected by dementia, or know someone that has been affected.

Hendricks County Senior Services, in partnership with Central Indiana Council on Aging (CICOA), is working to educate and support the community affected by dementia-related diseases.

“This program, Dementia Friends, is through CICOA and Senior Services oversees the Hendricks County chapter,” said Helee Adkins, Development Coordinator at the Senior Center.

Free, 75-minute sessions are offered monthly for all ages, aimed at explaining differences between normal aging and dementia related diseases, what caregivers need to know and how all residents can spot someone with dementia and help where needed.

“We talk about the family caregivers, which is another silent epidemic,” Adkins said. “Elderly caregivers have a 63 percent higher mortality rate and it’s not uncommon that the caregiver passes away before their loved one.

There’s been a recent shift where people are staying in their homes longer and 80 percent of those with dementia related diseases live in their home or with their family members.”

When a person receives a dementia related diagnosis, the entire family gets the diagnosis. It’s not uncommon for those diagnosed to lose their filter, say things unexpected or even offensive in public.

The person may still

live independently, in their own home, but signs begin emerging. They forget to balance their checkbook, or are in the grocery store line and forget how to use their debit card.

Families often become isolated out of embarrassment and stop taking their loved ones out in public.

Adkins said these loved ones are a valuable part in our community and the goal is to give caregivers the tools needed throughout the process.

With education, the Dementia Friends program aims to foster more patience, understanding and kindness to those that may react differently in social situations.

“My grandmother has dementia and I carry a business card that says, ‘The person I am with has been diagnosed with dementia, your patience and kindness is appreciated.’ I hand the waitress the card and ask them if they take this coupon. They might be confused for a moment but once they read the card, they typically slow down, they understand why I might be stepping in to help her order. It really helps with understanding,” Adkins said.

Adkins is considered a “champion” of the program which allows her to train others. In addition to the monthly sessions at the Senior Center, she also travels to local businesses so they can become “dementia friendly”. The hope is that more local businesses sign up for the qualification, with 85 percent of staff attending a dementia friend workshop, and new staff members taking the class

Apply To Be Statehouse Intern

Whether studying economics, telecommunications or history, Hendricks County legislators said local college students and recent graduates can gain valuable hands-on work experience by interning with Indiana House Republicans at the Statehouse in Indianapolis.

“Our interns are a great asset throughout the entire legislative session,” said State Rep. Bob Behning (R-Indianapolis). “We rely on them to cover public hearings, help set up press conferences, and draft letters and news releases. Each year, I’m impressed with the skills our interns bring to the table.”

According to State Rep. Greg Steuerwald (R-Avon), internship positions are open to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, communications and media relations, policy and fiscal policy.

“Interns with the House of Representatives have diverse backgrounds, career goals and skill sets,” Steuerwald said.

“We value our interns and enjoy helping them develop as professionals.”

State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) said interns will work at the Statehouse in Indianapolis for the duration of the 2022 legislative session, which kicks off in January and concludes mid-March. The paid, spring-semester positions are full time, Monday through Friday. Interns receive biweekly compensation of $750, free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and can earn academic credit through their college or university. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.

“Because we work on legislation that covers a wide variety of topics, interns from all majors can learn about different policies that align with their interests,” Thompson said. “Anyone wanting to grow their skills while helping move Indiana forward should apply.”

“If you have a customer walk in that shows behavioral issues, it’s helpful for your staff to quickly recognize what might be going on. As a caregiver, when you know you’re going shopping with your loved one, to know that business is dementia friendly – it simplifies things for us. I’m going to be loyal to that business,” Adkins said.

Families can also call Adkins for a family session. Often, some members of the family, particularly a spouse, can be in denial of a diagnosis. They want to protect their spouse and they have fear about the progression of the disease.

“The family sessions are really precious,” Adkins said. “We see a lot of tears as members of the family get on the same page and learn more about what to expect and how to move forward with this diagnosis.”

All ages are welcome to the Dementia Friend sessions. A workbook is provided as well as support for the entire family through various programs at the Senior Center.

The remaining sessions of 2021 at the Senior Center will be 7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22 and a special holiday edition at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 3. Call the Senior Center at 317745-4303 for general questions or to register for a session. Email Adkins with questions about enrolling your business in the program at helee@hcseniors. org.

The Senior Center also offers an Alzheimer’s support group at 2 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month. If you or a loved one need to speak to someone right away, the Alzheimer’s Association Hotline is open 24/7 at 1800-2723900.

Dancing Stars Sparkled in Contest

On Saturday night, August 21, more than 400 people arrived at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds Expo Hall to see their favorite dancer perform for “Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars”, a fundraiser for the Hendricks County Museum. Many were dressed in the style of the “Roaring ‘20s”, the theme for the event.

“What a fun evening this was!” reported Deanna Hindsley, coordinator for the event. “Our committee has worked many hours to bring this together, actually beginning in October 2019, when we thought it would occur in 2020. Dancers put in hours upon hours of instruction as provided by Arthur Murray Dance Center in Avon, and they all did a marvelous performance providing fun for the audience.”

A special treat, Arthur Murray instructors Jamis Wadsworth-Carr and Katie Toth performed to “All That Jazz” entertaining the audience while judges made their decisions. Judges were professionals, Barb Leininger and her associate, Matt Brand, from Arthur Murray Dance Center in

Bloomington, along with locals Wanda Prock and Bill Bailey, who have both participated in “Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars” in the past.

The winners were: Best Dancer - Melanie Nichols; Best Dancer Runner-up - Suzanne Shafer; People’s Choice - John Unison; People’s Choice Runner-up - Melanie Nichols Emcees Jay Puckett and Nina Criscuolo added sparkle and interesting comments to the evening.

Museum board president, Pat Baldwin said, “It is a pleasure to be able to have an incredibly fun event that supports the history of our county in the Hendricks County Historical Museum. We are grateful to the dancers, guests, community and workers for the success of this event.”

“Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars” 2022 is scheduled for April 22.

Hendricks County Museum is at 170 S. Washington Street in Danville and is open Fridays and Saturdays 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Looking at “Our Town” Through the Eyes of the Artists The 4th Annual “Artists Paint the Town” event gave the residents of Danville the unique opportunity to see their town the way others see it.

Half of the work of the artist is to see what is front of them; the rest is creating that vision in a way to share with others. The artists took a look at the everyday scenes that othera take for granted, turning alleys into impressionistic visions that could be taken for views of Paris or Berlin.

Here’s how Danville looks through the eyes of the artist. Take a look at them and then take another look at your town.

Many of the paintings are currently displayed at TheGallery on the Squaure, 51 South Washington, where you can vote fot the “People’s Choice” to be announed September 18 at the Levi Riggs Concert on the square. _____________________________________________

This artist took a different path and found the light and shadows of an alley something to celebrate instead of passing by without looking.

The Danville Warriors, fresh off of their season-opening win at Franklin, returned to the friendly confines of Danville Warrior Stadium on Friday to face a very tough Mooresville Pioneers team. The top-ranked, Class 4A Pioneers, came into the game with high expectations to topple to the Number 1 ranked in 3A, Warriors.

Mooresville had no trouble on their first possession as they ran the offense with precision and the Warriors defense could not find an answer early. The Pioneers took an early 7-0 lead. Danville quickly answered with a methodical drive down the field by way of running game, primarily featuring Andrew Poppa. Quarterback Kale Payne took it in on the keeper, to the roar of the hometown crowd.

Caleb Harvey added the extra point to knot it up at 7 apiece.

The Danville crowd would immediately deflate as Mooresville ran the ensuing kickoff all the way back to paydirt and take a 14-7 lead with 3:56 left in the first. The next posses-

Warriors Home Opener v. Pioneers

By David Winters

Merchant Chatter

sion for the Warriors stalled quickly with a rare threeand-out, leading to the first punt by Tyler Dostin.

The Pioneers wasted no time capitalizing on their defensive stop capping off a short drive with a 79-yard toss for their third touchdown in the first quarter.

The Warriors quickly found themselves in a hole, trailing 21-7 before all the fans could even get settled in their seats.

Not much went well for Danville from this point.

Things began to unravel quickly, and they found themselves in an even deeper hole, trailing 28-7 at the 9:25 mark of the second quarter.

The Warriors knew that they would need to step up soon and reverse the momentum that was currently in the direction of the visitors. Their next offensive possession gave the team, and the currently disappointed fans, a glimmer of hope. Payne worked his magic, capping off the efficient drive with a 38yard pass to BJ Wuest for a touchdown, bringing Danville to within just two scores at the four-minute mark of the second quarter.

The wind would immediately be taken out of the sails of the crowd when Mooresville ran the ensuing kickoff 75 yards and into the end zone and regained the three-touchdown lead, 35-14.

Danville would repeat on their next possession the efficient offensive display, marching down the field, and quickly getting into scoring position. Payne finished the task with a 27yard pass to Wuest, for his second score of the night.

The Warriors would once again pull to within striking distance, trailing 35-21 just before half-time. Unfortunately, the wind would leave the stadium in short order as Mooresville made mince-meat of the Danville defense driving 64 yards in less than a minute, taking a 42-21 lead into the locker room.

The evening never really improved from here as the visiting Pioneers would add two more touchdowns to win this one going away, 55-21.

Next up for Danville is another home game as the Lebanon Tigers pay a visit on Friday, September 3. ____________

94 Years Later, The Royal Is Still Beautiful

In 1927, the orginal Royal Theater building, located south of the alley on the east side of the square, was incorporated into a new, two-story Tudor style building with a larger theater. The Repubican called it, “The Royal Beautiful.”

Last Friday, 107 years after the first theater and 94 years after larger building, The Royal revealed itself to be still worthy of the title given by the newspaper.

The Danville Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony, with owner William Wright and his wife offically opening the newly redecorated theater. This weekend a new audience will fill the seats for the premier of the Mayberry Man movie and get chance to be a part of the Royal’s debut as well ______________________________________________________________________

To the extent any instructions or directions set forth in PARITY ® conflict with this notice, the terms of this notice shall control. For further information about PARITY ®, potential bidders may contact the District’s municipal advisor, Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC, at (317) 465-1500 or PARITY ® at (212) 849-5021. Each person who meets the foregoing registration requirements within the time required will be given notice of the actual sale of the Bonds not less than 24 hours before the date and time of the sale of the Bonds. The Financial Clerk of the District will notify (or cause to be notified) each person so registered of the final principal amount, maturity schedule, and the redemption provisions for the Bonds. Such schedule shall be sent not less than 24 hours before the date and time of sale.

The notification will be made by telephone at the number furnished by such person and by e-mail if an e-mail address has been received.

If a potential bidder has questions related to the District, the financing or submission of bids, questions should be submitted by email to bids@bakertilly.com no later than two days before sale by 11:00 a.m. (EDT). (The sale is anticipated to occur on September 23, 2021).

To the best of the District’s ability, all questions will be addressed and sent to potential bidders, including any bidders requesting 24 hours’ notice of sale, no later than two days prior to sale by 5:00 p.m. (EDT time). Additionally, upon request, the written responses will be emailed to any other interested bidder. Bidders should review this notice as well as the official statement and submit any questions in advance of this deadline to submit questions.

Bids for the Bonds will not be received more than 90 days after the first publication of this Notice of Intent to Sell the Bonds. The minimum purchase price shall not be less than the par value (100) of the Bonds. The Bonds will bear interest at a rate or rates not to exceed 4% per annum (the exact interest rate or rates will be determined by bidding). Interest will be payable on January 1, 2022 and semiannually thereafter on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Interest will be calculated on the basis of twelve, thirty-day months for a 360 day year. The Bonds will be dated the date of delivery thereof and will mature or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption semiannually on January 1 and July 1, commencing no earlier than January 1, 2022 and maturing no later than July 1, 2042, on the dates and in the amounts in the schedule as will be available at least 24 hours before the sale. The District reserves the right to restructure the maturities to achieve level debt service after the sale of the Bonds.

A bid may designate that a given maturity or maturities shall constitute a term bond, and the annual amounts set forth in the schedule provided by the District prior to the sale shall constitute the mandatory sinking fund redemption requirements for such term bond or bonds.

For purposes of computing net interest cost, the mandatory redemption amounts shall be treated as maturing on the dates set forth in the schedule provided by the District prior to the sale.

Principal is payable at the office of a registrar and paying agent to be selected by the District. Interest shall be paid by check or mailed to the registered owners or by wire transfer to depositories. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form.

The Bonds are redeemable at the option of the District in whole or in part in such order of maturity as determined by the District and by lot within a maturity not earlier than July 1, 2031, on 30 days’ notice, at face value without any premium, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.

Each bid, including bids submitted via PARITY®, must be for all of the Bonds and must state the rate or rates of interest in multiples of 1/8 or 1/20 of 1%. Any bids specifying two or more interest rates shall also specify the amount and maturities of the Bonds bearing each rate, but all Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same single interest rate. The award will be made to the best bidder complying with the terms of sale and offering the lowest net interest cost to the District, to be determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds to their maturities and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, and adding thereto the discount bid, if any. Although not a term of sale, it is also requested that each bid show the net dollar interest cost to final maturity and the net effective average interest rate on the entire issue.

No conditional bid or bid for less than 100% of the par value of the Bonds will be considered. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids.

If no satisfactory bids are received at the time and on the date fixed for the sale, the sale will be continued from day to day thereafter, without further advertisement for a period of 30 days during which time no bid which provides a higher net interest cost to the District than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale will be considered.

Each bid not submitted electronically must be on a customary bid form, which shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope addressed to the District and marked on the outside “Bid for West Central Conservancy District Sewage Works Revenue and Refunding Bonds of 2021”.

Bidders may change and submit bids as many times as they wish during the sale, but they may not withdraw a submitted bid. The last bid submitted by a bidder prior to the deadline for the receipt of bids will be compared to all other final bids to determine the winning bid.

During the sale, no bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (e.g. whether their bid is a leading bid).

At the request of the District, the successful bidder (“Purchaser”) is required to submit to the District a good faith deposit (“Deposit”) in the form of a certified or cashier’s check (or wire transfer) in the amount of $406,350* not later than 3:30 p.m. (EDT) on the next business day following the award. If requested and such Deposit is not received by that time, the District may reject the bid. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds. In the event the Purchaser fails to honor its accepted bid, any Deposit will be retained by the District as liquidated damages.

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

The successful bidder shall make payment to the financial institution selected as Registrar and Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the Bonds and accept delivery thereof from the Paying Agent within five days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at such place in the West Central Conservancy District as the successful bidder may designate. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within 45 days after the date of sale. If the District fails to have the Bonds ready for delivery prior to the close of banking hours on the 45th day after the date of sale, the bidder may secure the release of its bid upon request in writing, filed with the District. The successful bidder is expected to apply to a securities depository registered with the SEC to make such Bonds depository-eligible.

The unqualified approving opinion of Taft Stettinius & Hollister, LLP, Bond Counsel, Indianapolis, Indiana, together with a transcript of proceedings related to the issuance of the Bonds, printed bond forms with the legal opinion printed thereon, and closing papers in the usual form showing no litigation questioning the validity of the Bonds, will be furnished to the successful bidder at the expense of the District.

All action has been taken and the Bonds are issued in compliance with the provisions of applicable Indiana law. The Bonds will be secured by a bond resolution (the “Bond Resolution”) adopted by the Board of Directors of the District and will be subject to the terms and provisions of the Bond Resolution.

The Bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness of the District within the meaning of the provisions and limitations of the constitution of the State of Indiana, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Bond Resolution. Interest on the Bonds is exempt from all income taxation in Indiana. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings, the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.

The District has prepared or will prepare a Preliminary Official Statement relating to the Bonds, which it has deemed or will deem to be a Nearly Final Official Statement. A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement may be obtained from the District’s municipal advisor or from www.muniplatform.com/offering.

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

Within seven days of the sale, the District will provide the successful bidder with up to 5 copies of the Final Official Statement at the District’s expense. Additional copies, at the purchaser’s expense, must be requested within five business days of the sale. Inquiries concerning matters contained in the Nearly Final Official Statement must be submitted by the successful bidder within two business days after the sale to be included in the final official statement.

Further information relative to said issue and a copy of the nearly final official statement may be obtained upon application to Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC telephone: (317) 465-1532, municipal advisor to the District. If bids are submitted by mail, they should be addressed to the District, attention of Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC, attention Jessica Lynch, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, IN 46240, and if submitted via email, the bids should be emailed to bids@bakertilly.com.

634 Millsprings Coatesville, Indiana 46121 Dax Kelly Comer is notified that a Petition for Adoption of the minor Child, named Blaine Karson Comer who was born on the 10th day of October 2020 and is the Child of Emily Day and Dax Comer, was filed in the Office of the Hendricks County Superior Court, 1 Courthouse Sq., Danville, Indiana 46122, under the title: In the Matter of the Adoption of Blaine Karson Comer. The Petition for Adoption alleges that Dax Kelly Comer is the Biological Father of the minor Child; however, Dax Kelly Comer’s consent is not required as he has failed, without justifiable cause, to have significant contact with the Child; and he has knowingly failed, without justifiable cause, to provide for the care and support of the Child when able to do so as required by law or judicial decree for at least one (1) year and he is too unfit to be a parent to Blaine Karson Comer.

If Dax Kelly Comer seeks to contest the adoption of the Child, Dax Kelly Comer 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 Dax Kelly Comer does 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 the adoption of Blaine Karson Comer will be irrevocably implied and Dax Kelly Comer will lose the right to contest either the adoption or the validity of Dax Kelly Comer’s implied consent to the adoption.

No oral statement made by the Petitioner relieves Dax Kelly Comer of his obligations under this notice.

This notice complies with IC 31-194.5-3, 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 statues.
