Clermont Continued

An 80-acre parcel at 4705 N CR 1000 E, Brownsburg, is the proposed site for Clermont Village.

By: Melissa Gibson On Jan. 26, the Hendricks County Commissioners voted to continue the Clermont Village project proposal to give staff additional time to gather information. They plan to discuss and possibly approve or deny the proposal at the Feb. 9 meeting.

The proposed project is coming with a positive recommendation from the Plan Commission.

Located at 4705 N. County Road 1000 East, Brownsburg the 80 acres would feature a private K-12 school, a community center with multiple use: prayer rooms, classrooms, gymnasium and more, a dormitory for older students whose studies focus on the Koran and single-family detached homes, flats and townhomes.

The Plan Commission asked petitioners to continue working with planning staff, addressing a few issues leading up to the Commissioners meeting to further improve upon the proposal.

Elizabeth Link, representative for the project has met with staff to revise the plan and create additional usable and open space.

Landscape buffers have been added between the proposed property and existing neighbors.

As the property is on unincorporated land adjacent to Brownsburg, the Plan Commission wanted to be sure the Town of Brownsburg was aware of the plan and approved.

Link said the “most critical issue of uncertainty raised in the staff report” has been answered by a memo from the Town of Brownsburg to the County staff, stating, “The Town of Brownsburg believes residential and institutional uses in the designated area are appropriate and has no objection to the Clermont Village PUD proposal.”

Petitioners have also added a commitment to prohibit loudspeaker announcements for “Call to Prayer”, a concern raised by some current residents in the area.

Prior to the few concerns of the Plan Commission, the project was in compliance with the County’s Comprehensive Plan and continues to work with traffic engineers and the County Surveyor to address stormwater and drainage issues.

Hoop Skills Take Practice

Practice, practice, practice - whether you’re on your way to Carnegie Hall or Hinkle Fieldhouse, that’s the answer. Members of the local basketball league got some practice in during a half-time scrimmage at the Indiana Lyons game on January 30, at Danville’s “Lyons Den.”

Gov. Extends Public Health Emergency

Last Thursday, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb today signed Executive Order 21-02 to adjust the targeted restrictions for counties that have high levels of COVID-19.

He also signed Executive Order 21-03 to extend the public health emergency an additional 30 days.

The Indiana Department of Health has established a color-coded county map that measures weekly cases per 100,000 residents and the seven-day positivity rate for all tests completed.

Each county is assigned a color based on the average scores for the two metrics.

Restrictions are assigned based on the map, which is updated each Wednesday at www.coronavirus.in.gov.

As of January 31, Hendricks County’s advisory level is Red. This means very high positivity and community spread. When a county is in the Red metric, these requirements remain in effect until the metric has returned to Orange or lower for two weeks.

Under the adjusted requirements, social gatherings or events are strongly recommended to be limited to 25. If the venue owners, hosts or organizers have a written safety plan submitted to the local health department, social gatherings and events are limited to 25 percent of a facility capacity.

Face coverings are required for all Hoosiers.

Businesses of all types are required to place clearly visible signs at their public and employee entrances notifying all that face coverings are required. __________

Parks Place In Our Future

“To lead in the protection of outstanding natural, historic and recreation areas and linkages. To practice and promote the highest conservation ethics and provide environmental education and recreation opportunities to the community. To lead in enhancing quality of life and individual health while driving economic development to ensure a sustainable future for our community.”

Those words sum up the mission statement of Hendricks County Parks and Recreation and serve as an introduction to the draft of the HCP&R’s Master Plan for the next five years.

The document is available to read on the website at hendrickscountparks. org. With the wintry days that are sure to be ahead of us comes an opportunity to get to know more about our park systems, the people behind them, and their value both in the present and in the future.

The Park Board was established in 2000, a comparably recent addition to county government.

The document breaks down funding sources, explains the make-up of the Park Board and staff, and the state of all public parks in Hendricks County.

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner uses items from The Republican’s YesterYear column to develop an interesting, informative and often humorous article.

To the Editor: New bridges were needed to replace unsafe ones on the two Danville streets leading to the depot, The Republican reported January 30, 1896.

Planners proposed an arch on Tennessee and a bridge on Washington. Those infrastructures would cost $1,200 to $1,600 each, and since both were above the statutory $500 threshold, it was up to the county to build both.

Today, $1,200 probably wouldn’t pay for the signs, says county engineer John Ayers.

For even better perspective, he reports a new 42-foot one east of Ind. 39 cost $587,392. A second new one 67 feet long on County Road 300 E south of 200 S cost $750,130.

In June 1890, Plainfield’s correspondent reported a new bridge was planned at the Sam Small ford. While that reveals little about the location, my guess is it was across White Lick Creek northwest of town.

Was there an old bridge at Sam Small ford? Perhaps, because Jot Mellican was “working up” and selling the old walnut timber from “the bridge” in October 1889. Back then, everyone must have known, but I don’t.

An unidentified lady fell while crossing the bridge near Pecksburg in March 1879 and was confined to bed. Five years later Thompson Smith built a footbridge across the creek.

A February 1885 petition was signed “praying” that county commissioners would build a bridge west of Pecksburg over Mill Creek. “The ford there is highly dangerous at times, and several parties have come very near (to) losing their lives in trying to cross the stream.”

A heavy White Lick current overturned Sheriff James Emmons’ buggy at Cartersburg in December 1881 and “a general wreck occurred.” The buggy was so “demoralized” that the drenched sheriff, his ford failed, had to walk back to Danville. No word about the condition of his plug.

“The bridge at this place is not passable yet.”

North Salem correspondent Jesso complained in January 1882, “the directors of our gravel (toll) road should put up a red lantern of nights at the bridge over the railroad, as the approaches are getting dangerous.” I’d settle for bigger county road signs, but John Ayers says signs are expensive.

The county commissioners awarded a contract for a wooden bridge south of North Salem in mid-July 1885, bid at $11 per lineal foot. The bridge was to be “of the best timber, well covered, and three coats of paint.”

Another Eel River Township bridge, south of Jamestown, was awarded at $11.25 per foot.

Stone abutments for both bridges went for $5.28 and $6.48 per square yard.

All work was to be completed by October 1.

An 80-foot Guilford Township bridge contract went for $12.85 per lineal foot in July 1886. Another, a 47-foot span in Eel River Township, went for $10 per lineal foot. A 150foot Center Township bridge went for $18.50 per lineal foot.

High-level estimates today are around $400 per square foot of deck. Maybe that’s why the county won’t shell out for red lanterns.

A county clerk candidate talked for a spell with Brownsburg politicos in August 1878 and then, crossing the bridge, took off walking “with his pockets full of bologna sausage and crackers” toward Pittsboro. That anecdote almost was thoroughly boring.

The president of the Indianapolis and Springfield Plank Road Company couldn’t make meetings in New Winchester, Danville and McClain’s Schoolhouse “in consequence of high waters” in March 1850, but Governor Joseph Wright happened by Danville on his way to Rockville.

The Danville crowd listened to Wright talk about the road “in particular, and plank roads, bridges, trade and internal improvements generally,” although his “rambling, disconnected” remarks admittedly revealed he had given scant recent thought to the subjects.

He did say that while plank roads were being built the counties should “bridge the streams – as this was their duty, anyhow.

“He referred to the shameful backwardness of Hendricks in this respect – to the fact that there is not a bridge within her limits worthy of the name, save those built by the General Government.”

Wright took a vote on “the propriety of a county tax” for bridges, “which passed unanimously.”

Wright then departed for Rockville where he probably called for a covered bridge festival.

Yester~Year

The Republican has published local news weekly since 1847.

We offer this column as a look back at events from our archives and to help connect today’s readers to the people and events in our past.

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Issue of February 6, 1896 Pittsboro: Charles Olson, our carriage manufacturer has the old family carriage of Gov. Morton. It is a relic that should be preserved.

The festive chicken thief is at work in Eel River township.

There is some interest in spiritualism in Danville was shown by the attendance last night at a séance. There were some forty people present including physicians, attorneys, ministers, professors and businessmen. The ladies were also well represented.

The medium was Dr. Matthews, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who is at the head of a society that meets in Indianapolis. The results of the evening’s tests were generally unsatisfactory although some strange impression and messages were received.

Hired girls have become an almost unknown quantity and it happened last week while Mrs. Will Taylor was sick with the grip that the husband sought far and near for a girl without success. We are pledged not to mention it, but the figure of the postmaster over the tub with soap to his elbows and wringer on backwards was a sight to behold.

Clayton: Grant Stone will engage in the brick manufacturing business at Hazelwood in the spring.

Oak Ridge: It is one month until the annual move. The wise man is looking were to light during the flight.

There lies on our table the second of President Joseph’s books on Shakespeare’s plays, this work being devoted to “The Tempest.” The work in every way is up to the high standard set in Henry VIII, and every teacher should avail himself or herself of the opportunity to possess it. The price is twenty-five cents.

Stilesville is letting its light shine through new street lamps.

E.F. Engleken, an experience cigar maker, is opening a cigar factory in the Watts’ block under the name of the “Gilt Edge Cigar Co.” _____ ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO Issue of February 3, 1921 At a meeting Friday evening to organize the Auxiliary to the American Legion, the following officers were elected: Mrs. Walter G. Hadley, president; Mrs. E.A. Sallust, vice president; Mrs. Carl Mitchell, secretary; Mrs. Mary Airhart, treasurer.

About 10:30, yesterday morning a wireless came to this office from Boone Robbins of Marion township, stating that the ground hog appeared on the banks of Ramp Run, shook himself, looked around, saw his shadow and leisurely strolled back into his hole where he set his alarm for six weeks later –but not by the court house clock.

Because Henry Cleo Miller, of Brownsburg, died when he was in the care of Mrs. Belle Fox, a Christian Science practitioner, Coroner Terrell was called. Coroner Terrill’s verdict was that he had died of brain fever and an acute cold.

Because of the condition of the roads and fields Saturday, the only way that Marion township fox drive could have been held would have been by airplane.

And there were not enough airplanes in the county to carry the prospective crowd.

Consequently, the drive was not “drive.”

The American Legion boys are rapidly whipping their new quarters over Crawley’s restaurant into shape. Al Carter has made them a present of a billiard table, and arrangements have been made to secure a pool table.

Avon: Mrs. R.J. McClain has presented a large Bible to the township library. The Lotus Study club presented two large pictures and sash curtains to adorn the room much to the appreciation of the librarian.

Avon: See “The Son of Tarzan” at the Cozy theater here. One episode every Wednesday night.

FIFTY YEARS AGO Issue of February 4, 1971 The Town of Danville has purchased approximately 17 acres adjacent to the Old Pittsboro Road, from Robert Turner at $1,200 per acre. The area is planned for park expansion.

Terry Morphew has purchased the building at 161 W. Main St., across from the Danville Christian Church. He will open the new business, February 15, under the name of Morphew Publishing House.

He will do all types of printing, both commercial and personal..

Miss Cathy Lynn Hamilton of Danville Community High School has been selected as the DAR Good Citizen.

Jay D. Hodge, son of the Joe Hodges, received his discharge from active duty, Jan. 22, at Seattle, Wash., after having served the past 13 months in communications in Kemasaya, Japan. He is home now.

Clermont Continued (Continued from Page 1) In the meantime, residents of the county are still discussing proposed details and their personal opinion of the project.

More than 60 individuals spoke during the public hearing portion of the Plan Meeting and hundreds of people have written letters and signed petitions both for and against the proposal.

While current flooding issues and property values remain at the top of concerns for citizens, there is an underlying discussion regarding the property’s proposal to include families and students of the Muslim faith.

Some would say a conversation surrounding concern, bias and fear has erupted among local residents.

The Hendricks County Alliance for Diversity (HCAD) organization are strong supporters of the project. The organization works to educate and support diversity in the community and have had many discussions with residents expressing concern.

“There’s a lot of misunderstanding,” said Becky Reich, incoming Chair for HCAD. “We don’t know, so we talk about schools, traffic, flooding and other issues as if those things wouldn’t be addressed through the planning process.”

Reich and current Chair Natalie Brake talked about the exclusivity of senior communities, retirement areas and others, often gat-

ed with resources added such as a community center, pool and green space.

These amenities and private neighborhoods are the current model for many places across the country.

In fact, the largest Islamic center in the country has been in Plainfield for many years and Reich guesses many don’t know the building exists.

“If you didn’t know, then it’s not affecting you and now that you do know, will it affect you tomorrow?” Reich asked.

“We often think if it doesn’t largely benefit me, then it must harm me. It has to be one or the other,” Brake added.

What may or may not affect the current residents of the area, having the resources available will certainly affect the Muslim community in a positive way.

Many citizens spoke at the Plan Meeting about traveling to Carmel to attend studies and the experiences friends and family have had in communities such as the proposed.

Many brought to light the lack of resources for Muslims in the county, despite the fact that they are working in the county’s hospitals, law offices and IT buildings and do not have the benefit of local religious education and practice near home.

HCAD asks the community, in all areas of diversity to question why certain issues are distressing to you as an individual.

“There are people who

are against growth in Hendricks County. There are people who have had bad past experiences. We don’t want to dismiss anyone’s trauma, but ask yourself, if you never had a concern about it before, why now?”

Brake said.

“We are not saying people can’t have opinions about the growth and our neighbors, but Hendricks County is way more diverse than people think.

Let’s all enjoy our community together.” __________

The Republican Groundhog Had His Day in Danville Punxsutawny has its resident weather prognosticator, but so did Danville at one time.

We submit this article from February 1, 1912: Tomorrow will be “ground hog” day, both officially and by tradition. Perhaps the most interested man in Danville in the dawning of the day will be Ray Fronk, clerk in the Marsh drug store. With the coming of the first cold spell, a few months ago, his pet ground hog, which was kept in the cellar, commenced burrowing in the ground. He kept it up until he had excavated so far out under the street that he could not be reached with a long fishing pole. Then he carried in everything around loose, then disappeared himself.

Since then, nothing has been seen or heard of him. If he comes out tomorrow he will not be able to see his shadow in the cellar and if he stays out, Ray says he will be convinced that there is something in the ground hog sign.

HCAD To Host Virtual Panel Discussion on Black History

By Melissa Gibson Hendricks County Alliance for Diversity (HCAD) is hosting “More Than a Month: Black History,” a virtual panel discussion with Q&A from the audience at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Febuary 10.

When civil unrest and outrage erupted last May at the death of George Floyd, leaders of the county began an education initiative that is still in full swing.

HCAD asked members of the community to commit to take action against racial injustice in Hendricks County and formed several action teams in response.

The name Stephanie Singh may be familiar as the Director of Communications and Marketing for the Town of Plainfield, but Singh is also taking a leadership role in educating others about inequality and acceptance of others.

“The Town of Plainfield fully supports and encourages my involvement, but this actually stems from my time at Leadership of Hendricks County (LHC) with Natalie (Natalie Break of HCAD). We worked together on our capstone project and looked at diversity in private business,”

STEPHANIE SINGH

Singh said. “This was also during the time George Floyd happened and we created these action teams, which I was the chair for and helped facilitate.”

The teams focused on education, police accountability and raising black voices.

As for the education piece, Singh said she had interest in a panel discussion about black history in the county and knew just the team to help her host the conversation.

Doug Randall, Plainfield Fire Territory EMS Division Chief has put together a presentation on black history, including slave trade, redlining and other issues.

Bridgette Collins-George, Work Release Director out of the Hendricks County Jail in Danville has a presentation on bias training and uses the training with probation officers in the county.

Both were excited to

hear about a conversation not just reduced to one month per year and immediately jumped on board.

“Often people do not get the full picture of why black people feel the way they do, so it’s a passion project of mine,” Singh said. “We want to give another perspective and hopefully, its eye-opening.”

The event is aimed to educate and facilitate open and honest discussion with questions from Singh as moderator and from the virtual audience as well.

“The whole purpose of these conversations is to get to know people in your community better,” said HCAD member Becky Reich. “We plan to feature additional conversation throughout the year with a variety of focus in an effort to bridge those gaps.”

Singh is passionate about the project and hopes those in the community will open their hearts and

minds.

“I feel like you have to understand where someone comes from and education is a huge piece of this.

We’re not going to solve the worlds’ problems, but maybe we can get to know people on a personal basis,” Singh said.

She knows firsthand, it’s easy to feel discouraged as voices begin to die down and other stories begin to headline the news, but feels it’s an ongoing conversation necessary for the health of the community.

“I remind myself that at least we’re having these conversations; we’re making progress. This is when we make a change,” Singh said.

As far as the other action teams, the Raising Black Voices series drew a lot of interest last year, as black residents and business owners in the community spoke in a video series about their personal expe-

riences in the community.

The series can be found on the HCAD website, https:// hcad.weebly.com/race-inhendricks-county.html.

HCAD also held discussions on how the community can work with local law enforcement to build unity, transparency and trust between the groups. A recent survey has concluded and the action team is currently compiling data to share results soon.

The organization also took a different approach in light of the pandemic for their annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. The long-running event typically brings hundreds together for an evening of speakers to share their expertise and experience. This year, the group gathered a number of community members to post a video in celebration.

The video can be found on the HCAD website. _____ To join the More Than a Month discussion, registration is free but required for attendance.

Join Vandalia Trail Brisk Bike Rides At Plainfield

In its third winter, the Vandalia Trail Brisk Bike Rides series in Plainfield is hosted by the Friends of the Vandalia Trail (www. nrht.org/vandalia).

The rides take place on the third Saturday morning each month, November-March.

Whether you’re a regular cold weather rider or would like to try it for the first time, come on out and enjoy a relaxed opportunity to try out your cold weather gear and exchange strategies on staying warm on the bike.

The gathering point is right behind Biggby’s Coffee and the Metro Diner and in front of Meijer, convenient for a hot drink before and a warm breakfast and shopping after. The riders launch off to the nearby Vandalia Trail, part of the cross-Indiana National Road Heritage Trail, Inc. initiative, ride at a leisurely pace to its west end, then back to and down the White Lick Creek Trail a bit, finally returning to the Vandalia Trail for the last stretch back to breakfast.

This route is about 10 miles, but the group or individuals can choose more or less, depending on the conditions.

The out-and-back routing gives a lot of flexibility on distance. In the past, ride temperatures have ranged 11-45 degrees.

Riders participate at their own risk. Minors must be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them. If icy conditions exist or if it is raining or snowing, the ride will be canceled. For more information,visit www.nrht.org/ vandalia. ______________________________________________

Voices

Hinduism: We Don’t Bite!

By Krishna Lathish [This week, Voices welcomes a new contributor. We’ll let her introduce herself: Hi! My name is Krishna Lathish, and I’m a junior at Avon High School. I am 16 years old and very excited to be able to contribute to The Republican! I’ve always been an avid reader and a childhood with my nose in the books eventually led to wanting to write myself; I hope to go to college on the west coast with a major in journalism/media studies and become a literary editor or journalist. I’m excited to get to know the community!]

The first school I ever attended, from 1st to 2nd grade, was Chapel Hill Christian School in Speedway. Learning bible verses at school and coming home to the Ramayana may seem confusing for a child, but I never had a problem with it. No one had to explain to me that you could go to school, read about and respect Christianity, and still be Hindu.

However, when I brought up being Hindu as a child, I was met with confused stares and insensitive questions.

Why did I have to respect their religion when they didn’t do the same? Did The Golden Rule only apply to fellow children of Christ?

But I wanted to be rational. There’s no point in holding grudges against children, and what knowledge they didn’t have of world religions would develop through the school system and world experience, right?

But by my friends’ own admissions, they barely know anything about Hinduism, aside from some vague memories of freshman year history. Most didn’t know there was a Hindu temple in Avon. This didn’t make me angry, but more disappointed.

There are many Indian people in Hendricks County, a lot of them practicing Hindus. I’ve always appreciated this town for it’s diversity, but what’s the point of diversity if people are made to feel like outsiders?

But idle complaining doesn’t accomplish anything, so instead I’ll give you a crash course on Hinduism. It’s the world’s oldest religion, dating back 4,000 years, and is polytheistic, emphasizing the importance of samsara (the cycle of life) and karma (cause and effect). The “goal” of Hinduism would be to attain moksha: freedom from the cycle of life and death as part of the supreme soul. God is referred to as Brahma when formless and Paramatma when corporeal; in this form, God comes as the figures Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu.

All this could be learned from a simple Google search, or even better, through asking a Hindu friend. My experience in Hendricks County leads me to believe that this lack of education isn’t malicious, but rather from a fear of asking the wrong questions or not knowing the right people. But as a Hindu girl, I can assure you that your Hindu friends are more than happy to explain. And if you don’t have any yet, make a visit to one of the numerous (over 15) Hindu temples in Indiana! If all of that isn’t convincing enough, just know that we love to feed people.

I’m not perfect either. I don’t know every catechism or perfectly understand the Torah or Quran, but I’d like to take the first step. There’s so much to be gained form learning about the world and beliefs that you haven’t considered before, and there’s never anything to be lost by making someone feel more welcome.

When we all move towards inclusivity in Hendricks County, there are no losers. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “Pendergast took this one.”

Archy was showing me his family photo album. We were looking at a cabinet photograph of a well-fed squirrel, balanced on his haunches, beside a pile of walnuts that exceeded him in height.

“It’s an occupational,” he added casually, describing a vintage photo showing someone in the garb of their profession or with the tools to their trade. “Grandpa Phineas was a noted gatherer.”

The album was old fashioned, with a plush velvet cover, but the photographs were of exceptional quality and sharpness. He turned a page to show a view of Main street from a considerable height.

“Taken from Grandfather Enoch’s nest,” he explained, “near the top of the hackberry tree that stood on the northeast corner of the court house yard. Planted when the old Gothic brick court house was completed, by one of the men who helped build it.”

Archy’s collective memory kicked in. “Young squirrels used to race to see who could be the first to climb to the top. The squirrel brides used the witch’s brooms from the tree to fluff their nests when the in-laws were coming. It was a shame they cut it down.”

I didn’t know squirrels had their photos taken.

“We town squirrels had an agreement with the photographers,” he explained. “They took our pictures, without charge, and we agreed not to bombard their skylights with walnuts. Equitable, don’t you think?”

He turned to a photo of a desk with open books scattered across the surface.

“Cousin Osorio attended Central Normal College,” he said with no small measure of pride. “Took the Scientific Course. Became Professor Tingley’s assistant. “ I pictured a squirrel in a white lab coat, holding a beaker of foaming liquid.

“Not that kind of assistant,” Archy snapped. “He and his comrades helped Tingley string the wires for the first telephone in town, in 1879. Wires had to be strung through the trees because there were no poles. The squirrels threaded the wires so they were windproof.”

“Quite a family you come from,” I said admiringly.

“Everybody’s got one,” the squirrel said. “They just don’t always know about them.”

Exploring Hendricks County

By Jackie Horn With Groundhog Day this past week, I feel the need to ask the question,

Groundhog: Harbinger of Spring or Just Another Large Rodent?

Every year on February 2nd, the folks in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, pull a poor drowsy rodent out of his man-made winter burrow and ask him to tell the world whether Spring is here or if we need to endure six more weeks of winter. Punxsutawney Phil isn’t the only groundhog to be abruptly awoken to predict the weather.

Wiarton, Ontario; Sun Prairie, Wisconsin; Dunkirk, New York; Staten Island, New York; and Atlanta, Georgia, all have their own woodchuck weathermen. (Sorry ladies, for some reason all the prognosticating whistle pigs are male – or at least have male names.) As a kid I really believed.

The groundhog didn’t see his shadow? “Get my shorts and sandals out, Spring is just around the corner!” As I got older, and wiser, I questioned why I didn’t see any Hoosier woodchucks getting out to check the sun? It seemed to me that winter dragged on regardless of the sky conditions on one early February morning.

So what’s up with Groundhog Day and Spring?

The tradition of waking up a groundhog to foretell the end of winter was brought to America with Dutch and German immigrants. February 2nd is the mid-point of winter and in the Old Country, a badger was thought to be able to predict the coming year’s weather. Woodchucks are more common (and a little less feisty) than badgers here, so a groundhog was used.

Groundhogs (which are large ground squirrels or marmots also known as Woodchucks or Whistle Pigs) are one of the few true hibernators. They build a winter den, usually in a brushy or wooded area, below the frost-line.

After gorging themselves all summer and fall to put on weight, they enter the den in October and “sleep.” While they sleep, their body temperature can drop as low as 35 degrees Fahrenheit and their heart rate falls to 4–10 beats per minute. They breathe once every six minutes. When Spring comes (usually in March or April in Indiana, NOT February) they wake up, emerge from their dens and mate.

The 2-6 babies are born about 30 days later. Dad may or may not stick around to help out with rearing the young.

By August the young are ready to build their own burrows for the following winter.

The problem I see with trusting the groundhog for weather reporting is visibility. Unless you know where a burrow is and stake it out, or one crosses the road while still drowsy and becomes roadkill, you miss the heralding of Spring’s arrival. A much more dependable animal for announcing Spring, in my humble opinion, is the Skunk.

Skunks are not rodents. They are most closely related to weasels. Not a “true” hibernator, the skunk does enter into torpor (think Hibernation Lite). They move into a den (often the same one every year) and enter a dormant phase.

They become inactive, eat very little and sleep deeply.

Like groundhogs, skunks emerge from their dens in early spring to mate. The females birth 4-7 kits, usually in May, 66 days after conception. (Counting back, the skunks are reappearing and mating about the same time as the groundhogs.) Mom raises the offspring alone. She protects them with the scent that we all associate with skunks.

Interestingly, a skunk will give predators plenty of warning before spraying. Skunks’ memorable black and white striped coat is a warning. “Remember me? You don’t want to get too close there Buddy.” If that doesn’t work, the skunk will flip its tail around, hiss and stomp its feet. If all else fails, it sprays. A skunk doesn’t want to spray. Its limited supply of stinky chemical takes ten days to replenish, rendering them almost defenseless until then.

It’s that smelly spray that makes the skunk my favored harbinger of Spring. You don’t need to see a skunk (or their shadow) to know their winter slumber is over.

Skunks have terrible eyesight. They can’t see anything beyond 10 feet away. Add to that, when they first leave their burrows, they’re a bit groggy and wander into the road.

Forget groundhog shadows. Use your nose. You’ll know when spring is in the air. ______________________________________________

All Developments Generate Traffic

Exception: Ice Cream Shops Today’s column addresses, by far, the most asked question from my readers, “When do you plan to pay back all that money I loaned you?” On second thought, let’s move on to the second most asked question, “What are we going to do about all that traffic?”

This question has become the standard question to ask whenever a new development is proposed near your house (or in your community — unless it’s an ice cream shop or a Taco Bell — then we really don’t care about the traffic — nor should we). Granted, it’s a reasonable question. All development results in more traffic — some more than others — some, a LOT more than others. And as we all know (by now), increased traffic goes hand in hand with living in a desirable community. Maybe there’s a better question, “Is the proposed development consistent with community goals and land use plans?”

If the answer is ‘yes,’ then increasing traffic is no surprise. In fact, it’s a by-product of living in a flourishing community. Should traffic stop increasing, well, now that’s something to be concerned about. The important question then becomes, “How can we best accommodate extra traffic?”

This is where a traffic study quantifies existing traffic patterns, predicts future traffic, and overlays one on top of the other to identify what needs to be done. Recommended improvements such as more turn lanes or traffic control have a common purpose: to maintain accessibility, efficiency, and safety for both the existing and future traffic on the adjacent roadways. How soon we forget — all of us were, at one time, future traffic. ______________________________________________

Our Readers Write Spring where art thou? Even though it has been a mild winter thoughts of spring always make me feel better.

There have been so many downers this year: violence, political problems, and worst of all covid. The first day of spring this year is March 20th. But already we are seeing more daylight, signs giving numbers for baseball signups, trucks delivering farm equipment, and nurseries with opening dates to name only a few. Years ago we knew spring was close when the dairy queen in Brownsburg opened (They used to close for the winter) and Jesse’s market also in Brownsburg started having onion sets and seeds for planting. Let’s start the countdown to spring to give us a boast. It’s approximately 48 days til spring.

Looking Beyond Scores and Grades: Signs You’re Raising a Reader

Doing the work to raise children who are readers can feel complicated. Some moments are warm and content, like finishing a well-loved book together while snuggled up during bedtime. But some nights, you may feel tired and worn out, when all you really want to do is run a bath or sleep. It can also be frustrating, especially in those early years when your child is misreading every other word.

And the conversations and debates about what to read, how long to read, who will read, etc. can be incredibly draining.

The cure is to stop periodically and notice success, both small and large. It is important for both you and your child.

Think beyond the test scores, the grades, and the reading levels. These indicators can feel heavy, especially if your child is considered to be behind. And a child reading above grade level can also present concerns, like finding challenging, yet appropriate books. This is exactly why it is so vital we stop to appreciate the many moments when we can find comfort that we are raising children who are readers.

Start by remembering the definition of a reader. Someone who reads or even more simply for our youngest friends, someone who looks at books. A reader is someone who understands that words have power, whether we are reading them or writing them. They understand that reading and writing can be used for entertainment, persuasion, or information. They begin to wield this power and use it to live a better life.

Here are some real examples from my own children and my two nephews, who cover a wide range of reading abilities, that have shown us we are raising real readers.

You’d never find this information on a report card. ● 13 year-old: After a heated argument, we agreed we needed to retreat to our rooms to do some thinking. After a few minutes, I composed a text to my son, summarizing my thoughts about ways we could both improve. I knew if I texted him, he could keep it and review it, where he might not be ready to listen to the words he needed to hear. Confession: I was also worried I hadn’t cooled down enough and if I shared my thoughts, I might get upset again. But before I could hit send, my son knocked on the door and handed me a letter he wrote to me. It was incredibly thoughtful, and not just a blanket apology. It was clear he had really been thinking. He dug deep and found some reasons why he might have been acting out, things I hadn’t thought about. This is a HUGE milestone, y’all. He is using his ability to write to help communicate.

Master Gardener

Micro Greens are for the curious home gardener. Micro Greens are basically the seedlings of plants. They are not sprouts. They have more nutrients and vitamins than the adult plants. Microgreens may be used to garnishing salads, sandwiches, soups, or used like lettuce.

I like easy-- so I ordered a kit from Amazon. It will be fun to experiment. Only takes 10-12 days to eat the results.

Thought I would share the information so you could have an adventure with me.

Keep micro-greens watered. If you let them get too dry, they’ll let you know by wilting. ___________________________________________________

Instructions 1. Fill the tray with about 2” of soil.

2. Broadcast the seeds across the surface of the soil in a dense layer. No need to worry about getting it perfectly even or spaced out equally.

3. Sprinkle more soil lightly over the seeds, and use your hand to pat down “Harvest” your micro-greens the soil a bit. by snipping with scissors.

4. Water the micro________________________ greens until they are very, very damp.

5. Place the seeds in sunlight or under grow lights.

6. Mist with water a few times a day, until the greens are ready. This should take 10-12 days.

Microgreen Seeds Mix (they like the mix from Johnny’s Seeds) You can try radishes or lettuces or cabbage family of seeds- instead of buying a mix.

Seeds should be in stores now.

Let us compare notes.

I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don’t know what to feed it. ● 11 year-old: This is a child who would be the least likely to tell you that reading is a hobby for him. He puts up a stink about reading at any other time other than long rides in the car or for 20 minutes before bed. And even then, he sometimes complains. He’s also very particular about what books he is willing to read. If it’s not a biography of a famous athlete or historical fiction about troubled times, he is very likely to snub his nose at it. And yet, he can often be found scouring the local newspaper when it comes on the weekends, or pulling up websites to get more information when something has piqued his curiosity. And he asks the deepest, most heartfelt questions based on things he reads, especially about historical events or people who have been through difficult circumstances. ● 10 year-old: This one loves a project, from adding art to her walls or baking a cake. Recently she asked to borrow my computer so she could make a PowerPoint presentation. I didn’t ask what she was working on, just handed her the computer, happy that she might be entertained for awhile. Later she asked me to think about the books we had read together recently. I rattled off a few and went back to my task. An hour later, she brought me the computer and to my surprise….showed me a presentation about her favorite books we had read together in 2020! My mouth nearly dropped! ● 9 year-old: Let the youngest of the bunch be the example that you should never, ever give up on the idea of your child being an avid reader. This was the kid who aggressively tossed board books and picture books as a toddler way more often than he sat to flip through them.

He never once sat through an entire story time at the public library. He was late to show an interest in learning his letters. But in second grade, he fell down the rabbit hole that is the Dog Man series by Dav Pilkey. And now he is the kid that often passes up an opportunity to go play outside because he’s too deep into a book. I’ve even started to notice that when he feels frustrated or upset, he’s turning to quiet time spent reading to regulate his emotions. And while at first he maintained he only loved Dog Man, and read those books over and over and over again, he now happily reads lots of series and authors and genres.

Look at these as stepping stones, leading down a path toward an adulthood that includes the use of words used in powerful ways: communication tools, relaxation, or a hobby. Perhaps these stepping stones will lead to raising readers in the next generation of your family.

In a world of education that often seems to want to categorize, track, and label, remember to look for these authentic, genuine signs you’re raising a reader. They may not be quantifiable on a spreadsheet, but they are qualifiable in your heart and that’s what matters. ______ Renee Bowman is a former classroom teacher, reading specialist, school librarian and forever learner.

Woof!

And double

woof! Am I ever bummed out. I went to the vet for my regular check-up, which I always look forward to.

Dr. Howard is nice and he gives me treats! But, I get weighed before he sees me, and wouldn’t you know, now he says there’s more of me to love! But then, he told my human that I needed to go on a diet. I was crushed! I mean, I could tell my collar was getting a bit tighter, but I thought it was just shrinking. How embarrassing!

Now, I have some special food that supposed to help me lose weight. I started eating it yesterday, and it tastes like the bag that food comes in. And the food has its own little cup, and I get that much and not a nugget more at each meal. Did I mention that the cup was tiny? My brothers and sisters gobble up their regular kibble and snicker behind their paws when our human puts my food bowl down. They think it’s funny! I should add that my brother Howard is no whippet himself, thank you very much.

Now, my human female used to snack on these things called rice cakes. You’d think that anything called cake would be yummy. But one time, I got a new package of them off the kitchen counter, and I ate them all. I couldn’t tell I’d eaten anything! If it hadn’t been for all that mush stuck to the roof of my mouth and the shredded wrapper on the floor, I would have thought I made it all up.

I think the humans who invent all this diet food have no taste buds. If they can make plastic bones that taste good, you’d think they could make diet food that tastes good, too. But maybe that’s why it works. You just don’t want to eat much of it.

And, as if that weren’t bad enough, they have me on an exercise program. My human takes me for walks on his treadmill, which is kind of tricky, because we’re both on it and it’s kind of narrow, so I walk behind him. But if walk a little faster than the treadmill is going round and round, I bump into my human. And you just walk and walk and don’t go anywhere. Why would anybody want to walk if they don’t end up someplace new or maybe just see something interesting?

My human female has been leading me up and down the stairs over and over. She said she doesn’t know about me, but her galoots were tightening up. I don’t even know where my galoots are, much less whether or not they’re loose. I don’t know how tight galoots are supposed to be, but I hope mine get there soon. Those stairs are tough!

Oh! My human is calling me for supper. I’m going to linger over it. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be back in two minutes.

I’m back. I enjoyed my diet meal — two heaping mouthfuls of almost kibble. And I felt like having dessert, so after I finished eating supper, I went through the kitchen and stared at the cookie jar for a while. Woof! Am I stuffed! If you hear a growl, I promise, it isn’t me. It’s just my stomach.

Thought for the Day: A recent study showed that if people who are pre-diabetic start a diet and exercise program and lost just seven pounds, the chance of them becoming diabetic is reduced by fifty percent. Think about that the next time you Biggie size. ______________________________________________

Representatives Support Full Funding for Public K-12

The Indiana House of Representatives voted last week in support of legislation to fully fund all K-12 public school students for the 2020-21 school year, regardless of whether students attended classes in-person or virtually due to COVID-19.

“Local schools have gone the extra mile to minimize potential learning disruptions over the last year,” said State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton), K-12 subcommittee chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. “Education remains a top priority for lawmakers, and we are taking quick action to honor our REPRESENTATIVE funding commitment made JEFF THOMPSON in the previous budget.”

State Rep. Bob Behning (R-Indianapolis), chair of the House Education Committee, said the pandemic caused many traditional public schools to shift from in-person classes to remote learning. Under current law, schools receive 85% of tuition support per virtual student, which is defined as a child learning 50% or more of their instruction online. He said this means many schools would qualify for the lower funding amount because of moving classes online.

“Schools should be focused on doing what’s best for kids,” Behning said. “As they face challenges brought on by the pandemic, decisions to temporarily shift to virtual learning should not be based on worries of losing critical funding, but on keeping students and educators safe.”

House Bill 1003, supported by Behning, Thompson and State Rep. Greg Steuerwald (R-Avon), would help mitigate requirements under current law and allow K-12 public schools to receive 100% funding for each student, whether they attended classes in-person or virtually.

“We strongly support fully funding all students enrolled in the state’s public schools, whether they’re attending class in-person or online due to the pandemic,” Steuerwald said. “We appreciate our local schools and how hard they have worked to ensure the students in Hendricks County continue to thrive.”

Danville on the offense against Whiteand.

Danville

Local & Social

By David Winters The Danville Lady Warriors faced off against the visiting Whiteland Warriors in the regular season finale on January 27. Danville entered the contest with a 10-10 record and were hoping to build on a huge win the night before over Monrovia by a score of 66-25 that featured balanced scoring with four players in double figures. A win over Whiteland would give the Warriors a winning record for the season and some much needed momentum heading into the postseason.

It was apparent early on that this game might be a repeat of the night before. Danville created some unrecoverable separation in the second quarter with a dominating 19-2 edge and a 33-12 lead at the break.

The second half brought more of the same as the visiting Warriors could never get the ball to fall on offense. The home team Warriors were so consistent throughout the contest that after scoring 14 and 19 points in the first and second quarter, they promptly followed up with 14 and 19 points in the third and fourth quarter, respectively. Danville won this one easily, 66-33.

This win was exactly what this team needed after a regular season with mixed results as their overall record of 11-10 would indicate. They also battled through a handful of quarantines and then the game of “will Chloe be allowed to play” over the final two weeks of the season. It appears that they have created some stability at the right time.

Coach Kaley May also feels good about the team’s momentum as the postseason approaches. “We just needed time to grow, build chemistry, and gain experience, which we have done,” May said when asked about her thoughts on the season. “I feel like we are peaking at the right time and I’m very excited about the product we are taking into sectionals.”

When this article is published, the Lady Warriors will have had their chance to show what they are made of as they face the Crawfordsville Athenians on February 3 in the first game of the sectional at Tri-West High School. If they beat Crawfordsville, they will move on to the second round of sectionals against either Tri-West or Greencastle on February 5. The Championship game will be held on February 6.

Good Luck Ladies!

Game Notes: Maddie Patterson led Danville with 20 points followed by Isabelle Wooten who scored 15 points while hauling in 7 rebounds.

Danville Boys vs. Northview and Tri-West

By David Winters

Their next game could not come soon enough. After struggling over the final three quarters against Greencastle and leaving The McAnally Center with a tough loss, Danville was ready to avenge that set back and get back on the winning track as they enter the final stretch of the season.

On January 26, the Warriors hosted the Northview Knights in a non-conference match up which started out with each team battling to set the early tone. The Knights took a one-point edge into the second quarter which ended up just as tight. Danville would take a 40-37 lead into the locker room at halftime. The third quarter started with the Warriors finally able to create some space between them and the Knights and entered the fourth quarter leading by nine.

Northview would not go away quietly, however. They kept pace with the high-octane offense of Danville who for the first time this season, allowed 30 points in a quarter. In the end, the Warriors were able to hold off several runs in the final period and held on to win this one by a final score of 93-87.

Leading Danville in scoring was Tyler Dostin and Brady Ruggles with 24 points each. Brayton McMahon finished with 17 points.

It was now time to head north on State Road 39 on January 29 for the annual regular season rivalry match up against the Bruins of Tri West. No matter how good or bad these teams are season-to-season, these games are always tough right to the bitter end. Tri-West had been dormant for nearly three weeks due to covid concerns and was ea Kobe Ward mid-layup vs. Tri-West. Photo by Cami Collins ger to get back on the floor. ____________________________________________________ This game started just about how we would expect in a game between these two squads. The intensity was high, the passion was heavy, and the energy through the roof from tip off to final buzzer. The first quarter ended with Danville leading by three and it was quite clear that the players understood the importance of this game and came out with energy and focus.

The second quarter saw the visiting Warriors quickly establish their offensive superiority by dropping 24 points on the Bruins while holding them to just nine points in the period. Danville had an 18-point lead at the break.

The second half brought more of the same for the Warriors on offense, outscoring Tri-West 23-13 in the third quarter.

While the Bruins fought hard in the final period, the fight was too little too late, and Danville was able to win this one going away by the final score of 83-58.

Leading the Danville on the night was Kobe Ward with 29 points and 10 rebounds. Brady Ruggles finished with 15 points and 5 rebounds and Dominick Wynn added 12 points.

Danville now has nearly a week off before heading about an hour north to Frankfort to face the Hot Dogs on Thursday, February 4. ______________________________________________________________________________________________

Sunday adoption events are suspended but we encourage you to visit Facebook pages of Creekside Animal Rescue, other rescues and Hendricks County Animal Shelter for pets needing homes. This may be an ideal time to introduce a pet to your family and infuse what is a very difficult time with some joy and purpose.

Reports of suspected animal abuse or endangerment should always be directed to Hendricks County Animal Shelter & Control 317-745-9250. Emergency animal surrender needs should be directed to Hendricks County Animal Shelter & Control.

And lastly, if you don’t already have one, please create an emergency plan for your pet. Make sure pets are wearing identification and have crates, extra supplies and food.

KEITH L BRANDENBURG, 74, of Plainfield, went to be with the Lord on January 27, 2021.

He was born on February 23, 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio to the late Willard and Gladys Lovitt Brandenburg.

Keith was a proud veteran of the United States Coast Guard.

He retired from CSX in 2009, after 40 years of being a locomotive engineer on the railroad.

He enjoyed talking politics and was not bashful to share his opinion. More importantly, he was entrenched in the Bible and enjoyed the time that he spent with fellow believers over a meal.

Keith was not a huge fan of celebrating his birthday, but as his life on earth was coming closer to an end he had a change in philosophy. He had a health scare in 2019 and wanted to celebrate his 73rd birthday with friends and family. He was able to witness firsthand his “celebration of life” gathering.

He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Diana, children, grandchildren and siblings.

Private services will be held with burial to follow in Maple Hill Cemetery. Plainfield.

Hall-Baker Funeral Home, Plainfield, is handling the arrangements.

Linda loved spending time with her sister Debbie, her best friend, Judy Pingel, and her granddaughters.
