HCCF Unity Grant Supports Voter Education

Hendricks County Community Fund’s Community Unity Grants Program is designed for projects and programs that increase civic engagement and build county branding and pride.

Less than half of the number of 18- and 19-yearolds registered to vote in Indiana in 2020 as compared to 2016. That decline is the worst in the nation.

Voter registration among those newly-eligible Hoosier voters was 54 percent less in 2020 than the last presidential election cycle.

To support voter education and participation, a critical part of civic engagement, HCCF awarded a grant to a Leadership Hendricks County Capstone Group for voter education posters to display in each school district’s high school to encourage the students to register to vote.

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: Quebec hosted a massive Sunday tent revival in September 1896, according to The Republican, with 900 under the Middle Township tent and 500 more gathered outside.

The biggest area revival was likely the Billy Graham Crusade at the State Fairgrounds Coliseum Oct. 6-Nov. 1, 1959, when 318,127 souls attended.

The revivals I recall from my childhood were “Angry God” themed, leaving some squirming like spiders over flames, wrapping up with a convert call. A brimstone revivalist brought in at church camp told us kids that hell was women burning to horrific deaths in a WWII napalm factory fire.

Scared me and other wicked young adolescents. Perhaps we really were Sodom and Gomorrah types.

I’ve always wondered how preachers gauged the time was right for revivals. New church needed, greater tithes desired, more discernible sin?

Correspondent Rex in “Reno Ripples” reported Coatesville’s Reverend Daniel Webster Risher conducted “quite a revival of religion” in February 1882. There was now “a strong probability that a substantial brick church” would be built.

The reverend gave a speech on “Punctuality” in 1883 for the Hendricks County Sunday School Union meeting in North Salem. Two years earlier, he debated the question, “Whiskey or no whiskey, that is the question.” I think he was Coatesville postmaster as well.

Thirteen converts were baptized into the Plainfield Christian Church on one day alone during a March 1883 revival, “and much good it is said is being done.”

Numerous Dover Dale citizens attended the Friends revival in February 1885. Attendance exceeded church capacity. Dover was Liberty Township District School 3, and was around County Roads 350 S and 200 W. The area, Dear Editor tells me, was known as Dover Dale, and the school, reputed to turn out scholars, was known as “the Harvard of Hendricks County Schools.”

The paper reported in late 1881 about Danes in Leadville, Colorado, who belonged to “a religious body called Skagea.” The group centuries earlier practiced human sacrifice “and still hold to it in theory.” During an anniversary event, their leader cut himself, “shedding a bowlful of sacrificial blood.”

What happened at their revivals?

Stilesville, known for dynamiting drug stores, launched a temperance revival late in 1881, but the Union’s Clayton correspondent called the leader “a deadbeat and crank.”

In his defense, the Stilesville correspondent agreed he had “evidently drunk enough to appreciate its ruinous tendency.”

A fashion revival of crinoline in England had Paris “aghast” at the re-apparition by “barbarian medievalists” in March 1882. Remember, Dear Editor, that local woman whose hoop skirt was crushed in a crowd to the point where it resembled a canoe? Gad! A protracted revival left an anonymous minister in declining health in mid-1882. Despite a vacation, he seemed to be “sinking into a state of general weakness and prostration.”

Then a friend gave him a bottle of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. He was cured! Ingredients treated pain and swelling in the nasal passages. Guysott’s was a laxative; it fought bacterial, intestinal and fungal infections; arthritis, hemorrhoids and rashes; sexually transmitted diseases; and more.

An empty Guysott’s bottle recently sold for $49 on eBay. I caught a fall 1883 glimpse of Pittsboro’s Christian church where a revival the winter before added 25 members. The church was painted white, with green shutters. The sidewalk was a narrow plank. A brick walk lined with young maples led to the meeting house.

The interior was “tastily finished” in gold wallpaper with a wide dark foliage border.

The pulpit was furnished with heavy purple velvet. Ash-colored chairs seated the congregation numbering around 125. Minister Wallace Cox Tharp traveled there “for public worship” once a month from Kentucky. There was a Sunday School, with weekly prayer meetings in winter.

Sugar Grove (Guilford Township, northwest corner of CR 700 E and 600 S) correspondent Dick reported in February 1884 about a highly successful revival meeting in Beech Grove, “with the exception of one beastly, pugilistic encounter” during the service.

Most on hand “labored with the ministers,” which I don’t understand, “and a better and more agreeable understanding was effected between the brethren and their tormentors.”

A truce between good and evil?

A preacher’s pointed exhortation inflamed an unrepentant impenitent?

The American Conservative Union Foundation recently recognized State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) for his support of legislation that protects the sanctity of life, cuts red tape and moves Indiana in the right direction.

“Over the last decade, Indiana has been on a roll,” Thompson said. “Our conservative policies have put us in an enviable position, helping us attract jobs and individuals from surrounding states looking for a new place to call home. I greatly appreciate that our efforts are being recognized, and I will continue supporting legislation that maintains Indiana’s momentum. “ Thompson’s 2020 voting record earned him the Conservative Achievement, which the American Conservative Union Foundation said is because he “voted consistently with the ideals articulated in the U.S. Constitution: limited and transparent government, individual rights, personal responsibility and lasting cultural values.” He supported policies like a law protecting the sanctity of life, ensuring pregnant women can bury or cremate the remains of their unborn child after an abortion. Thompson also voted in favor of a law cutting unnecessary red tape, allowing Indiana Farm Bureau to offer more affordable health benefits to its members and their families, and another law allowing qualified emergency service providers, like EMTs, to work across state lines without having to obtain a state-specific license.

The American Conservative Union Foundation also ranked the Indiana General Assembly as one of the top 10 conservative legislatures in the country. Visit conservative.org/ratings to see all the rankings.

State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) represents House District 28, which includes portions of Hendricks and Boone counties. ______________________________________________

Health Department Promotes SepticSmart Week

Each year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) facilitates National SepticSmart Week to encourage homeowners and communities to take the necessary steps to maintain their septic systems.

September 20, 2021 marks the beginning of this important reminder for all Hendricks County homeowners who have septic systems.

Septic systems are wastewater treatment systems used to treat and dispose of wastewater onsite. They are typically used for houses and businesses not served by a centralized public sewer system. Approximately 35% of the homes in Hendricks County are served by a septic system.

With this many septic systems in the county, it is crucial that septic system users know how to properly maintain them for a number of safety reasons.

When a septic system is poorly maintained, wastewater containing dangerous bacteria, viruses, and chemicals leaks from the system and makes its way into water sources that are used by both community members and animals.

The spread of these substances can lead to the spread of various infections or illnesses. Proper use of septic systems can reduce the risk of disease transmission and human exposure to pathogens.

“Septic system maintenance falls into four basic categories: inspect and pump your system frequently, use your water efficiently, properly dispose of your waste, and care for your system’s drainage area,” says Ginger Harrington, Environmental Field Supervisor for HCHD. The EPA recommends that all homeowners with septic sys-tems follow these steps to maintain their system and to prevent contamination: • Have your system inspected every three years by a qualified professional • Have your septic tank pumped, generally every three to five years • Avoid pouring harsh products (e.g., oils, grease, chemicals, paint, medications) down the drain • Discard non-degradable products in the trash (e.g., floss, disposable wipes, cat litter) in-stead of flushing them • Use water efficiently to reduce the risk of system failure.

• Keep cars and heavy vehicles parked away from the drainage area and tank • Repair leaks and use water-efficient fixtures to avoid overloading the system • Maintain plants and vegetation near the system to ensure roots do not block drains • Use soaps and detergents that are low-suds, biodegradable, and low- or phosphate-free For more general information about maintaining a septic system, visit the EPA’s Septic Smart website, https:// www.epa.gov/septic.

To find permit information on a property’s septic system visit http://hcapps.co.hendricks.in.us/DataWarehouse/ ParcelSearch.aspx. Enter property owner name, address, or tax ID number. Scroll down the page for available permitting information.

For more information about septic system maintenance and repair in Hendricks County, contact the Hendricks County Health Department at (317) 745-9217.

Highway Superintendent Receives AIC Award

AIC President Ken Paust, Wayne County Commissioner, and Indiana Association of Highway Engineers and Supervisors President, Stewart Cline, Tippecanoe County, present the award to Curt Higginbotham, Hendricks County Highway Supervisor.

The Association of Indiana Counties (AIC) announced that Hendricks County Highway Superintendent Curt Higginbotham received the 2021 Outstanding Highway Superintendent Award. The award recognized his contributions made to county government throughout his years of public service.

Higginbotham is a native of Terre Haute, Indiana and served three years active duty as a Combat Engineer in the US Army. Following that he served another 18 years in the US Army Reserves. During that time, he assisted in the development of the Transportation Center at Camp Atterbury. He has a B.S. in Construction Technology from Indiana State University. Curt has been with Hendricks County as the Highway Superintendent since 2009, and in that capacity is responsible for multiple budgets totaling over $15 million annually. The Highway Department has 38 employees to maintain 253 bridges and 760 miles of roadway, including 188 miles of subdivision streets.

Higginbotham is also active with IACHES and Indiana LTAP, serving on the INDOT/LPA Cooperation Committee. He has achieved both his Road Builder and Master Road Builder through the Road Scholar program.

The award was presented during the AIC’s 63rd Annual Conference in Switzerland County. The AIC’s Annual Conference is the largest gathering of county officials in the state. Representatives from public agencies, private entities, and local elected officials addressed issues such as cash flow and public funds management, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), health care, appeals and permitting, redistricting, energy, HR, broadband, highway funding and asset management, and so much more. ______________________________________________

Farmers Grow Community Donation Benefits Mill Creek Christian Support Center Local farmers J.B. and Melissa Edmondson of Clayton recently directed a $2,500 Bayer Fund America’s Farmers Grow Communities donation to Mill Creek Christian Support Center. MCCSC will use the funds to enable the pantry to purchase more food, paper goods, and health and beauty products that are always in need.

“Mill Creek Christian Support Center has been so blessed by the farmer that chose us for this wonderful donation,” said Marlene Stagge, the Center’s Director. “So far this year we have served 2,669 families, 496 veterans, 8,420 individuals. With this donation we will be able to continue to serve. Thank you and God bless.”

Since 2010, the America’s Farmers programs have awarded more than $59 million to nonprofits, aspiring ag students and public schools across rural America. Farmers are leaders in their communities, which is why America’s Farmers programs rely on them to help identify the most worthy causes.

Dedicated to making a difference in rural farming communities, the Grow Communities program asks farmers across the country to participate by nominating nonprofit organizations with resources to strengthen their local communities. Last August, farmers entered for the chance to direct a $2,500 Grow Communities donation to a local eligible nonprofit of their choice. Farmers have directed donations to food banks, emergency response organizations, schools, youth agriculture programs and many others that reflect the spirit and support the vibrancy of rural America.

The America’s Farmers programs have given more than $59 million to rural America since 2010.

Remembering Who’s Behind the Blush

A view of Hendricks County during the 2020 Road Rally. Now in its 7th year, the Road Rally is a fundraiser for the Hendricks County Museum. The event is limited to 30 cars. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Exploring Hendricks County

By Jackie Horn And They’re Off!

Last October, after six months of living in Hendricks County, John and I knew where places were like the library, grocery stores, and carryout pizza. We knew the larger towns in the county but we weren’t familiar with the outlying areas. We needed to explore our new home.

Then we saw the announcement for “The Road Rally.”

The Hendricks County Historical Museum was holding a road rally as a fundraiser. The registration fee was just $10. After the COVID lockdown, the idea of getting out and doing ANYTHING with other people was exciting.

Learning about the area was a bonus. But a road rally?

That sounded like great fun! We signed up.

The idea of the road rally is to follow course instructions and finish the route with your recorded miles matching the organizers’ mileage. To make it more interesting, participants answer a cleverly written trivia quiz about sites along the way. A team requires at least two members, one driving while the other navigates and records the answers.

We arrived at the parking lot across the street from the museum in Danville at 8:00 on Saturday morning. We paid our entry fee and mingled with the other teams while waiting for the rally to begin. At a short “drivers’ meeting”, the officials were introduced and the rules were explained. Teams were given written driving directions and a trivia quiz, instructed to return to their vehicles and line up. The first car rolled out around 8:30. Cars were released at timed intervals until the last vehicle pulled out of the parking lot.

A Note From Bee It appears that there is an awful lot of bad in the world today. I think the media (that is not the case with The Republican) adds to that feeling. I have had many instances when strangers have been so kind to me.

Several years ago I was responsible for helping my bachelor Uncle Ed stay in his own home. We had a very bad ice storm and his sidewalk was coated with a thick layer of ice. Uncle Ed lived on the near south side of Indianapolis and we lived in Brownsburg. We could not help him because the roads were treacherously slick. I called a neighbor of Uncle Ed’s and she suggested that I call a local drugstore. They often knew people who could help me.

They put a call out while I waited on the phone. Someone stepped up and said he would do it. I got his name and address and he told me he would call me with a price when he was done. He quoted me a price and I gave him $25 more because he was willing to trust me.

Another instance involved Aunt Trudy in California. she had developed dementia and her neighbor Bobby watched out for her several times a day. We had met him when we visited Aunt Trudy. When he decided to move he called us and suggested a lawyer friend of his. Bobby knew Aunt Trudy could no longer stay by herself. The lawyer refused any payment.

I have been blessed with many strangers helping me and in turn I have tried to “Pay It Forward”.

It was a diverse group that hit the road; families, groups of friends and couples, sedans, minivans, SUVs, and a Corvette. We were all after one thing... VICTORY... and an entertaining way to spend a Saturday morning.

The course led us all over the southwest corner of the county. We saw some beautiful autumn scenery and enjoyed discovering the back roads. John and I returned to the start/finish line with time to spare. We crossed the street and moseyed through the Historical Museum. The museum’s collections are quite extensive and the volunteer was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Back at the rally point, all the teams had returned. It was time to announce the winners. One team received a special award for logging an extra 30 miles! They had missed a turn. The rally results were close and after a tiebreaker, first, second and third places were awarded. I don’t remember who won. I do know the team that placed third, the Horns!

This year the Hendricks County Historical Museum’s 7th Annual Car Rally is scheduled for Saturday, October 9.

There is a $10 entry fee which benefits the museum. Prizes will be awarded for first through third places. Pre-registration started on September 15. Participants can sign up at the event but entries will be limited to 30 cars. To avoid disappointment, consider registering before rally day. For more information, check out their website at hendrickscountymuseum. org, call (317) 718-1453 or (317) 793-4398.

Enjoy a ride with your favorite person(s), take in the beautiful fall scenery, support the museum, and maybe take home a prize too!

John is a retired CNC programmer and the photographer on the team. The Horns enjoy traveling, walking, hiking, kayaking, and bicycling.

By Krishna Lathish If you can’t leave the house without highlights, it’s a problem.

In recent years, we feminists have boldly responded to our detractors, who claim we’re painting our faces for attention, by asserting that we don’t do it for you.

Our rosy cheeks and spider leg lashes are for us to admire, and when we look in the mirror, we are rewarded with our own carefully crafted countenances.

It’s a sound idea; the misogyny affected can and should enjoy things without the damper of the watchful male gaze, and the success of makeup artists like Bretman Rock attests to the fact that makeup is an art form that should be respected.

However, what we may not have expected is for the patriarchy to listen. Corporations fell right into step; you can’t stretch a foot without hitting a company trying out “Femvertising.” What I urge you to do, in this era of girlbosses and gatekeeping, is to not be fooled by glitter pink assertions. These companies don’t care about you - by slapping a “She can do it!” on the same standards that always have been, these companies continue to destroy our self image while furthering their bottom line. Our resistance is crucial, and it starts by looking in the mirror, warts and all.

That sharp cat eye is impressive, sure - there’s no doubt that it took practice and hard work. But is it necessary for that trip to Walgreens? Why, truly, do you have to cover up that pimple when you’re at home all day? No matter which way we cut it, the beauty industry relies on our insecurity.

It’s understandable to want to look our best for the occasional party, but when we can’t face ourselves without a dab of concealer or a little color correction – that’s how their profit margins widen. Their strategy is all in the self: sell you back your own face, with you believing that your self-hatred is all in the name of feminism, and they can brand themselves bastions of self-empowerment without ever having to take responsibility for the fragile self-esteem of millions.

Self-love is resistance, as many revolutionaries have said. You should be proud of your face, with and without makeup. Wear that fierce cut crease and boy beat with pride, knowing that it adorns an even more beautiful temple.

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy Judging by size of a squirrel’s ear, I was not expecting Archy to be wearing airpods. Yet there he was, nodding his head and swishing his tail to an inaudible tune.

“Sorry,” he said, taking the devices out, “I was just listening to Joplin.”

“Janis or Scott?” I asked.

“The former this time,” he replied, adding, “They really have quite a bit in common, you know. Much of their music was about freedom. It seems some of your people are suffering from a bad case of the freedoms.”

It was true. The word was being tossed around quite a bit these days.

“It’s another of your human contridictions,” he mused.

“They seem to think freedom is an entitlement. Few seem to realize that it comes with limits and responsibilites. If this were a free society, there would be no need for laws, it would be unregulated militia, you might say.”

I realized the word freedom was being used by both sides of many arguments.

“You’ve seen the copies of manumission papers filed in the Recorder’s office,” the squirrel said. Did that piece of paper make the person named on it free? Did another piece of paper, a bill of sale, make them slaves to begin with? Or was it the society that allowed there to be slaves and freedmen?”

For a portion of our history, the term “free country” seemed to be in in contradiction with reality.

“Seems your people are going through another ‘house divided” moment, Archy said. “And it didn’t end well the last time.”

I asked the squirrel what we could try to make this turn out differently.

“Reason never has failed men,” Archy said, “but men have often failed reason.” ___________________________________________

Hunting Tips & Reflections

By Mike E. Neilson

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener

Mike Neilson, longtime Danville High School teacher and longtime hunting enthusiast is sharing his hunting experience with our readers.

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

Flexible Deer Hunting Don’t bag your leaves for the landfill - dampen them and leave them in the bags. Store and they slowly turn into leaf mulch! ____________________________________________________

Free fertilizer! Don’t give it away

It won’t be long and you will see bags of leaves sitting by the curb waiting for a ride to the landfill. I’ll tell a secret: that is free fertilizer!

Make the most of the leaves in your yard this year instead of discarding them in the garbage.

After the kids or grandkids have had their fun playing in piles of leaves, run the lawn mower over them to chop them into little pieces that break down quickly. It is best if you mow before there is a big dry pile, a large pile may take several passes with the mower. (Joe has had to make a 2 or 3 passes here when he gets behind the chore.)

The small shredded pieces improve soil fertility as it decomposes. A high level of organic matter in your soil will improve the lawns growth. Plus, a five percent increase in organic material quadruples the soil’s ability to store water!

Leaf mulch buffers soil temperatures so the soil is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, thus protecting grass.

It is amazing to see the shredded leaves literally disappear into your lawn.

If you catch the shredded leaves, use the mulch on gardens or use around your landscape plants.

You can plow or till whole or shredded autumn leaves into the garden soil.

The leaves will decompose by spring planting time if mixed with a little granular fertilizer to speed the process.

Gardeners with a lots of yard room can pack leaves, either shredded or whole, into large plastic yard bags, wet the leaves, seal the bag, and store them, in a couple of years they have rich leaf mulch. Don’t forget to add leaves to the compose pile if you have one.

This year join me in keeping fall leaves, out of the land fill. Use leaf mulch “garden gold” to add natural nutrients back into the soil.

What did one autumn leaf say to another? I’m falling for you!

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.]

Woof! Do I have some interesting stuff to tell you about today! No, kidding, this is really useful information! My humans took me for a ride the other day when they went out to Miss Sue’s house to get some eggs. Miss Sue raises sheep and chickens! And the eggs come from the chickens!

These chickens were very pretty. They come in all kinds of colors and patterns. And some of them have feathers on their feet! All the birds I have ever seen didn’t have feathers on their feet. There were a couple of male chickens that were strutting around like they owned the yard, and, I guess, in a way, they do. But I couldn’t figure out why they were called roosters. Roosting is sitting on a tree limb at night or sitting on eggs, isn’t it? Well, these roosters weren’t doing either of those things, and probably wouldn’t, from the way they were acting.

Some of the chickens lay eggs that are brown, like the eggs my humans used to get at the store, but some are light blue! And are they ever pretty! That is, the shells are light blue. The eggs look like regular eggs inside. Anyhow, I thought you might like to know about the egg thing, in case you didn’t realize that they come from the inside of chickens. I’m not going to tell how they get out of the chickens, and you wouldn’t believe it anyway.

You know, I guess I should have figured out about eggs.

I have found pieces of egg shell in the yard from where birds had dropped them out of their nests, so the eggs my humans eat must come from some bird or other. It just never occurred to me that the birds that laid them could be kept as pets. But, that’s exactly what they are at Miss Sue’s house. They all have names and can be held and petted. It’s just that, if you look at a robin and the size of its egg, then look at an eatable egg, I thought the bird who laid them ought to be lots bigger than those chickens.

Miss Sue and her family also have some sheep, and are they cool! Their fur is curly, like a poodle’s, and a couple of them had big curved horns growing out of their heads.

Those were the male sheep, called rams, and I bet it’s because that’s exactly what they do with those big horns!

They are neat animals, but they have the strangest bark!

They stutter!

After my humans got their eggs, we left, and on the way home, they talked about how much fun it would be to have their own chickens! But, because we live in town, we can’t have any chickens. And maybe that’s good. They would have to live in the yard, and their pen would take up an awful lot of nice digging space. And they’d probably put it right over some wonderful archaeology! I also don’t need any more competition for my humans’ attention than I already have with my brothers and sisters and the cats.

So, Miss Sue, you just keep those chickens busy laying the eggs that my humans eat. (Every once in a while, they give me a scrambled egg, and it’s yummy!)

Thought for the Day: The gas crisis effects everything around us, including the abundance of food we all take for granted. Conserve, for all our sakes! _____________________________________________

We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute.

SUDOKU SOLUTION

I hate it when the deer don’t follow the script and decide to take other trails and funnels rather than the ones I’m perched over, hoping to get a nice close shot. Some hunters in the same scenario will continue to hunt the same stand, hoping against hope, that the deer suddenly change their pattern and decide to walk by. I like to be flexible and check out potentially better locations and, if warranted, move my stand to increase my odds.

The savvy deer hunter realizes that there are a myriad of variables that can and will affect how deer live in the area you hunt. As a hunter, many of these factors are out of your hands but what you can do, what you should do, is to be flexible and roll with the punches. Let me explain.

The farm where I hunt is a patchwork of trees, creeks and agriculture fields. When the farm is in corn, the deer like to hang out in the corn once it gets high enough to hide a deer. There are very few tracks in the woods, but the edges of the fields are littered with prints. So, while the corn is standing, hunting the edge can be a smart bet. But once the corn is harvested, the deer dive deeper into the woods. Hunting the edge can still be effective but there are better options.

Similarly, when then field is in soybeans, the deer like the edges until the beans start to turn yellowish-brown.

Once the beans begin to dry, the deer seem to slip back into the deeper woods. This seems to be a consistent pattern in my area. The deer come back to the field after harvest and after the acorns have played out.

Speaking of acorns, the nut crop can also influence when and where the deer are. This season, the acorn crop is in great shape and during early squirrel season, I noticed that some of the trees were already casting nuts down, no doubt helped by the squirrels and the birds. My observations is that the deer just love those white oak acorns and will congregate around that food source until the nuts are gone. Then the pattern changes because of food sources.

Hunter activity also plays a big role on when and where the deer like to be. The more folks afield, the spookier the deer seem to be. Bucks and does find those out-of-the-way places, thick, nasty cover and right up close to homes and houses. Sneaky little devils! I’ve seen deer stretch out with their neck and chins to the ground in low cover to avoid detection and let unsuspecting humans walk right past them. Farms that have a lot of hunters seem to push deer my way and farms that don’t allow hunting seem to become refuges for the local deer and other game.

One area that I’ve had the most consistent luck in seeing and harvesting deer has been around water, specifically creeks. The deer of course, need water, but the creek (or crick; your choice) almost always provides cover in the form of woods and tall grasses. Great bedding areas, great hidey holes.

Some factors are out of our control like moon phases and the rut. All I can say about full moons and hunting is boo! However, if I think the deer are feeding by the light of the moon, I’ll sometimes forgo a morning hunt and concentrate on a late morning/early afternoon sit. Sounds crazy but the deer will sometimes get up for a mid-morning snack. Same thing for the dark of the moon, it seems the deer are more active at dawn and dusk during this phase.

Let’s face it, we live in Indiana, the weather is nothing, if not unpredictable. Frosts, snows, heatwaves, Indian summer, drought, floods, and rain all are out of my hands but can affect how the deer like to move. A seasoned (or lucky) hunter will take advantage of these situations and hunt areas accordingly. I’ve never had much luck hunting in torrential downpours. Light rain or drizzle seem to be fine (except washing away a blood trail). After rain and snow events pass, they seem to get the deer up and moving but hot temperatures seem to keep them in their beds longer. Cold fronts can get the deer up and moving too, especially feeding before a storm rolls through.

Ah, the rut. The need to breed. The boon and bane of deer hunters. I’ve seen some pretty crazy deer activity in the rut. I’ve almost been run over by a less-than receptive doe being chased by a couple of amorous bucks. I’ve also seen the woods go absolutely vacant as well. Look for escape routes, little valleys or ridges that can offer cover to deer and be vigilant. Deer can be super sneaky in the rut or just blind and stupid, plowing through the woods with little regard as to what is happening. I once had a nice 8-point buck walk within 20 yards of me as I stood in the middle of the woods. The buck was so oblivious because of the rut, had I not already taken my buck, this one would have done nicely. Of course, that doesn’t happen that often and never with a camera to verify.

So fellow deer enthusiasts, stay flexible. The stands I have out now for early season will move as the deer movement changes. When the fields are harvested, I’ll be a bit deeper in the woods. When gun season comes in, I might opt for a stand with a better, wider view. I’ll let situation dictate where and when to go.

Best of luck this season.

International Festival Returns For Second Year HCCF 25th Anniversary Grants

Multiple performances will be on stage Saturday, depicting a variety of cultural dance. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson The second annual Hendricks County International Festival will return to Talon Stream Park in Plainfield from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2.

In 2019, the Town of Plainfield and many volunteers put on the first International Festival, introducing residents to their neighbors who come from different backgrounds.

There were 20 different cultures represented through food, dance and educational booths.

In 2020, the event was cancelled due to the pandemic, but the group is excited to once again, offer the event to the community to celebrate diversity.

What was originally a town initiative, quickly organized, became a 501c3 and the Hendricks County International Festival was born, led by Stephanie Singh, Communications Director for the Town of Plainfield.

“After the first event, we surveyed for feedback and one thing people said was the food trucks were awesome, but the servings were huge. So, this year, we’re offering a $3 sample size at the food trucks to allow people to try multiple cuisines,” Singh said.

There will also be some new vendors and cultures represented this year.

“We have Tai food this year, Latin dance that we didn’t have before, a West African dance team on stage and a Scottish bagpipe performance,” Singh said. “In 2019 I think a lot of people were surprised. We could have had way more than 20 cultures, businesses etc. All of these people live in our community and it’s beautiful and that’s why I love this festival.”

Countries represented this year include India, Pakistan, Mexico, Japan, Scotland, Poland, West Africa and Russia.

The large globe in the center of the park will return for photo ops as well as kids activities ranging from henna tattoos to crafting with James Martin.

Guests will also receive a passport booklet to be stamped when visiting each country throughout the afternoon.

Some seating in the stage area will be available, but bringing your own chair is suggested to keep with social distancing.

The festival is organized and supported by the Town of Plainfield, Plainfield Community School Corporation, Hendricks County Community Foundation, Cruise Planners Mike and Jenifer Laver, Kiwanis Club of Plainfield and several community donors.

In honor of our 25th anniversary, Hendricks County Community Foundation is awarding $25,000 in grants to organizations all across Hendricks County, 13 of which represent grant recipients receiving inaugural grants in 1996.

North Salem Revitalization is a collaboration of community members who are dedicated to making North Salem the best town to live in. North Salem Revitalization works to provide opportunities for community members, including more social gatherings, attracting new businesses, and raising money to improve downtown infrastructure.

A variety of family friendly crafting and art will be ongoing throughout the afternoon. ____________________________________________________

Food trucks will offer sample tastings for $3 this year, to allow guests to try several different cuisines.

Pittsboro’s Sally Suiter Teaches the Art of Ceramics

The Sally Suiter’s ceramics studio is full of different arts and crafts to experience. ______________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson Sally Suiter was a music major in 1969, when she was invited to a ceramic studio by an acquaintance.

“I think God gives us epiphany moments and I just thought, ‘I’d really like to do this’,” Suiter said.

Even though she had no previous training, Suiter loved the craft and set to work learning everything she could.

“I was blessed to be able to work on this, training in studios and studying with some amazing people.

There used to be hundreds of traditional studios but sadly, I’d be able to name three today. The educational part has been lost over the years.”

Suiter says traditional studios focus on the education of the craft, answering how the material is made, where it came from and the many different options that comes from the art. Most art studios we see today are based on entertainment.

At one point in the 70’s and 80’s Suiter was traveling the country setting up ceramic classes and training judges for various art competitions and she and a group of friends created CATS, Creative Arts Teaching Seminars.

They invited expert teachers in a variety of genres from quilting to ceramics to painting for a weekend seminar, offering artistic options to those interested in learning something new or honing their craft.

“I can’t sew and love

to watch quilters do what they do, but I think we found there’s a big overlap between all of the crafts.

There’s an artistic quality found in all of the areas,” Suiter said.

In 1974, Suiter opened Sally’s Ceramics in Pittsboro. Walking into the studio, the walls are lined with ceramic molds and figures, projects near the pottery wheel and fused glass among other things.

Nearing her 50th anniversary, Suiter has seen three generations of families visit the studio. She regularly hosts classes with seniors, home school students, 4-H participants and special needs groups.

“I think all along God was preparing me for my grandson Max. He’s quadriplegic and non-verbal and we created the Max Fund in order to raise funds for his needs. Special equipment and supplies can be very expensive,” Suiter said.

The Max Fund has been able to purchase various supplies for Max, but she

didn’t stop there. Suiter has raised funds for Sycamore Services (a non-profit organization for intellectual and physical disabilities).

She’s hosted raffles to benefit Wildlife Educational Services and non-profits benefitting children and animals.

“What I love about ceramics is that you’re not just making a piece, you’re making a memory,” Suiter said. “Creativity and expression is so important for all of us. I hope I’ve been inspirational and a supporter of the craft.”

For more information, visit the Sally’s Ceramic Facebook page or call 317892-4091. Hours and classes vary.

Hendricks County Senior Services Works to Educate Seniors About Fraud

The FBI says seniors lose over $3 billion per year in fraud and scams. ____________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson You answer the phone and hear a young person on the other end sobbing. It sounds like your granddaughter or grandson so you’re immediately on high alert. You might even say their name, “Is that you?”

They explain that they’ve been arrested and they need money to be bonded out of jail. They’re scared, they’re upset and they don’t want you to tell mom because they don’t want to be in more trouble than they’re already in.

They pass the phone to a lawyer or police officer who explain to you how and where to send the bond money, anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.

Your grandchild has never been in this kind of trouble before and your heart is racing and you’re panicked as you try to rescue them from this situation.

The trouble is… it’s not true.

Your granddaughter or grandson is right where they are supposed to be; at work, at school, out with friends, and you’ve just sent your money to a con artist, a highly skilled fraudster.

Despite the fact that millions of seniors fall victim to fraud each year in what the FBI calls financial, romance, lottery and sweepstakes schemes, it’s easy to feel embarrassed or ashamed. Seniors may be afraid their family will lose confidence in their ability to handle their own finances and have a tendency to keep the situation a secret.

The growing problem results in over $3 billion in loses each year for seniors alone.

“We’ve seen an increase in fraud with genetic testing at health fairs. They’ll tell you that it’s at no cost to you and bill your Medicare for the test. The majority of them aren’t legitimate. You never receive the results and it’s only when your doctor wants to do those tests, that you realize it’s already been billed through your insurance,” said Helee Adkins, Development Coordinator for the Hendricks County Seniors Services. “Don’t let that confuse you with flu shots and other free services, those are fine. This is specifically for genetic testing only.”

HCSS is working to share these stories and recent fraud related events to educate and spread the word so others won’t fall victim to the same scam.

The HCSS heads up the Indiana Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) in Hendricks County, a program aimed at educating about fraud and helping seniors report it. Adkins says

Chapter Regent Carey Wilson (left) and Benita Shoemaker. ____________________________________________________

many have come to the office asking for “the fraud lady” (Adkins) and she helps walk them through the process of reporting and any other recovery process.

They often hear of people sharing information off of their old Medicare card, giving information to an “IRS agent” or an electrical company threatening to turn off electricity if they don’t receive payment immediately.

“I think seniors are a target because they often spend more time at home. They may be lonely and willing to talk to someone on the phone. Their generation is more trusting and is a generation of integrity; built on handshakes and trust. For someone to think they didn’t pay their bill on time is crushing to them,” Adkins said. iana Senior Medicare Patrol at 317-205-9201.

The HCSS can also help with any part of the process.

Tips to Think About • Fraud and scams thrive on emotion. The grandchild begging for your help overrides your sensibility. Many don’t stop to think about double checking with someone, they’re upset and they don’t want their loved one to be upset.

• They often use urgency as a way to entice you to act immediately. The power will be shut off tomorrow or the sweepstakes win can only be claimed today can give you a sense of urgency before you stop to think about it.

• Don’t ever give your information over the phone. Today, con artists can call and the caller ID will say a company you know. For example, it might say Duke Energy, however, if you call Duke Energy back with the number you have on your last statement, you’ll find it wasn’t Duke Energy that called at all.

• Companies such as Duke Energy, Hendricks Power and any government agency such as the IRS will NEVER contact you over the phone. They send a letter in the mail and typically follow up with a second letter if necessary.

• Stop and consult with another loved one. Typically, one more independent phone call to the electric company or to your grandchild’s mother can halt everything the fraudster is trying to do. No matter how urgent or emotional the situation is, one more phone call can solve the issue versus giving financial information to someone over the phone.

• If you do find yourself a victim of a fraud, don’t be embarrassed. It’s happening to millions of people, particularly during the pandemic and throughout the holidays.

It can be a pain to clean up the mess but help is available.

Report the incident and tell the story to help others.

Danville Team Scores Homecoming Victory Against Southmont

By David Winters Riding high off of a sweet victory on the road against their rivals, Danville returned home to the friendly confines of Warrior Stadium to take on the 5-0 Southmont Mounties.

After an exciting afternoon of parading through the streets, participants and many parade viewers made their way to the high school to settle in on a beautiful, perfect-for-football September evening, to see if the Warriors could cap off the night with another victory.

Danville set the tone early with a near flawless display of offensive excellence.

Senior quarterback Kale Payne quickly showed why he was one of the quarterbacks to watch in 3A at the start of the season. He finished the Warrior’s first possession with a 27-yard toss to running back Andrew Poppa. Caleb Harvey added the extra point, giving Danville the early 7-0 lead.

Southmont, on their first offensive possession, gave a glimpse of why they were able to start 5-0 on the season. They marched down the field, rather easily, until the Warrior defense collected their thoughts and came up with the right formula to stop the Mounties, albeit on their own 8-yard line.

Starting deep in their own territory, Payne connected deep for a big gainer, only to have a holding penalty negate the pick up. Not to worry, however, as Payne connected with Brayton McMahon for 43 yards to move the ball into Southmont territory. The offense would stall just a little as they were looking at a fourth down

decision. As has been the case all season, when faced with a fourth down in their opponent’s territory, Coach Comer decided to go for it. They needed five yards to keep the drive alive so Payne promptly tossed it to Poppa for a 7-yard pick up and a first down. Shortly after, Payne connected with Senior Braxton Fulwider for 22 yards and the score. Harvey added the extra point and Danvill led 14-0 before the end of the first quarter.

The Warrior defense would continue to stifle the Mounties offense for the rest of the first half. Payne and Tyler Doston would connect before halftime on an 11yard pass into the end zone, giving Danville the 21-0 halftime lead.

Southmont would not fare much better in the second half as Danville continued to control both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Matthew McGovern would get into the scoring column with a 9-yard rushing touchdown giving the Warriors a 28-0 lead, after the Harvey PAT. Danville would score two more times when the defense returned a 65-yard fumble recovery for the score and then back-up quarterback Trey Thompson connected with Teke Tanksley for 25-yards and the score.

Danville continues their march to what they hope to be a successful post-season winning this Homecoming game easily by the final score of 43-0.

Payne finished 15-21 for 191 yards and 3 touchdowns. McGovern had a big night rushing 7 times for 76 yards and a touchdown.

The Warriors are now 5-1 on the season and travel up north to take on the Frankfurt Hotdogs on October 1 at 7pm.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION

Notice is hereby given that the meetings of the Town of Pittsboro Town Council will be held in the new Administration Building located at 33 E Main Street, Pittsboro, IN, starting in November 2021.

Notice is hereby given pursuant to Indiana Code § 6-1.1-20-3.5 that the Board of School Trustees (the “Board”) of Brownsburg Community School Corporation (the “School Corporation”) did, on September 27, 2021, make a preliminary determination to issue bonds and enter into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) for the construction of a new elementary school and renovation of and improvements to school facilities throughout the school corporation including site improvements and the purchase of technology, buses, real estate and equipment (the “Project”). The Lease will be for a maximum term of 22 years with a maximum annual Lease rental of $4,769,000. The maximum annual Lease rental has been estimated based upon an estimated principal amount of bonds of $54,000,000, estimated interest rates ranging from 2.00% to 4.40%, and total estimated interest costs of $25,775,634.

As required by Indiana Code § 6-1.1-20-3.5(b)(1), the following information was available to the public at the public hearings on the preliminary determination: (i) the School Corporation’s current and projected annual debt service payments divided by the net assessed value of taxable property within the School Corporation, which is 0.98%; and (ii) the sum of the School Corporation’s outstanding long term debt plus the outstanding long term debt of other taxing units that include any other territory of the School Corporation divided by the net assessed value of taxable property within the School Corporation, which is 13.40%.

The School Corporation’s current debt service levy is $24,066,318 and the current rate is $0.9215. After the School Corporation enters into the proposed Lease and the bonds are issued, the debt service levy will increase by a maximum of $4,769,000 and the debt service rate will increase by a maximum of $0.1588. However, as existing obligations mature, the anticipated increase to the total school corporation tax rate is expected to be $0.00.

The estimated amount of the School Corporation’s debt service levy and rate that will result during the following 10 years if the School Corporation enters into the lease and issues the bonds, after considering any changes that will occur to the debt service levy and rate during that period on account of any outstanding bonds or lease obligations that will mature or terminate during that period:

The Town of Pittsboro will provide reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities. We invite any person with special needs to contact the Clerk Treasurer’s office at 317-892-3326 at least 72 hours before scheduled meetings to discuss any special accommodations that may be necessary.

IN RE: THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF MAEVE ANN-LEE MARIE CAIN, LAZARO A. MENESES, Petitioner.

SUMMONS This summons is to the Biological Father of Maeve Ann-Lee Marie Cain, namely, Anthony Michael Christian Cain, and to any other person who may be concerned.

Anthony Michael Christian Cain is notified that a Petition for Adoption of a child, named Maeve Ann-Lee Marie Cain, born to Kristy Meneses (f/k/a Kristy Cain) on December 21, 2008 was filed in the office of the Clerk of Hendricks County Courts, 51 W. Main Street, #104, Danville, IN 46122, by the person named above as Petitioner.

This summons by publication is specifically directed to Anthony Michael Christian Cain, whose whereabouts are unknown.

If Anthony Michael Christian Cain seeks to contest the adoption of the child, he 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 Anthony Michael Christian Cain does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice, the above does not file a motion to contest the adoption.

No statement made to Anthony Michael Christian Cain relieves Anthony Michael Christian Cain of Anthony Michael Christian Cain’s obligations under this notice.

This notice complies with IC 31-194.5-5 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.

The named Petitioner is represented
