Clermont PUD Denied The Hendricks County Commissioners met on Tuesday, Feb. 9 to discuss the Clermont Village proposal among others. The project was sent to the Commissioners with a positive recommendation for approval and the issue was continued at the initial commissioners meeting, Jan. 26.

On Tuesday, Commissioners unanimously denied the proposal.

Commissioner Phyllis Palmer said, “For years we’ve had people come to us with genuine concerns about flooding. We haven’t been able to help them much. I feel a strong obligation to the existing neighbors and to the people in the new development to not cause any further stress or pain in their lives.”

“To the applicant, I think the site plan looks like a very good plan. I just think the site is wrong for what you want to do. I would encourage you to look further in Hendricks County. I’m sure you could find a site much more acceptable than this,” Commissioner Dennis Dawes added.

The current project proposal is in complete alignment with the Hendricks County Comprehensive plan for the site, however, commissioners were concerned by previous flooding complaints and the ability to overcome those challenges with a new development. ______________________________________________

Bluebird Society To Host Nesting Box Distribution Do you have Eastern bluebirds around your property or good bluebird habitat?

These birds favor short grass open areas. If you do, putting up a nest box will encourage them to raise their off-spring and help to maintain/increase their numbers in Hendricks County.

Eastern bluebirds, a bird native to North America, eat primarily insects and larvae. You can enjoy seeing and hearing them if you provide a nesting cavity (a special box) for them to use.

Come to the Hendricks County Fairgrounds on March 16, Tuesday, between 6 and 8 p.m. for a drivein pick-up. A $10 donation per box is requested.

Membership is $10/year if you want to join us in helping these beautiful birds. _____________________________________________

A Case of Bison Tipping?

Hendricks County’s Bicentennial Bison was spotted tipped over on the northwest corner of the court house yard on Sunday.

The 5-ft. tall fiberglass statue arrived in 2016 as part of the Indiana Bicentennial Celebration. It had been removed last summer for fear of rioters during the Black Lives Matter protests. When it appeared that BLM or ANTIFA were no longer a threat, the bison was brought back. Now, we are left to wonder if this incident was nefarious, malicious or due to a freak weather incident. We may not have an answer yet, but suspect that Nature tipped the beast.

The 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, about the Vandalia Trail visit www.nrht.org/vandalia.

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.

19th Century Chicken Stealing

To the Editor: Eel River Township had a “festive chicken thief” in February 1896.

I do not understand that.

Furtive I can grasp. Perhaps the chipper roost raider patiently pinched pullets, squelching squawks.

Chicken chuckers were common criminals.

The old Union newspaper described the worst criminal as “a foul-mouthed low-minded, ignorant sneak thief, a disgrace to his species” and a “bloated, blear-eyed, hang-dog ulcer of a coward.”

I guess a chicken thief can be merry.

Chickens were advertising tools back then.

Amo’s S.F. Tincher Editor’s note: In searching for a photo to illustrate this column, we sold Spring Chicken cicame across this. We were unsure if it was meant to be a cautiongars in 1883. What were ary that chicken thievery could led a child on the path to ruin or if they wrapped with? And it revealed the rooster as the gang boss behind the fowl crime. It seemed to suit a variety of explanations. he peddled Little Harry ____________________________________________________ chewing tobacco. Quids for kids?

North Salem’s poultry dealers shipped 5,000 pounds of turkeys to New York in November 1884, which raises the question: were there turkey thieves? Chicken thieves, melon thieves, horse and buggy thieves, sneak thieves snatching money and sleeping men’s trousers, con men, safe crackers, white mule runners – Hendricks County had them all.

Danville’s greatest nuisance in March 1882 was a hat thief. Who trafficked in heisted hats?

Chicken stealing was nationwide, with the exception of the Wild West. Outlaws there would never stoop to stealing chickens. Not a hanging offense. Assuming some moonless night a gang wanted to rustle a chicken flock – that simply is impossible. Chickens can’t see after dark.

Not only that, horses step on chickens. Drovers generally herded chickens on foot enroute to Abilene and Dodge City, or used bicycles.

Any drover run over and pecked during a spooked Leghorn stampede would definitely die, but only from humiliation. Sodbusters ridiculed chicken drovers, especially those who rode side saddle, and that kind of shame is not easy to shake. Chicken boy.

Hence the popularity of chuck wagon counselors.

I can’t say singing to a chicken will calm it. No one knows what kind of music poultry favor. Clucking and badawking all day long, they’re probably deaf.

There’s no way you can punch or sling chickens across a river or down a steep hill.

You can’t brand them. Ever smell burning chicken feathers? If you pluck them before branding, chickens will freeze to death on those cold prairie nights. If you brand a chicken you might as well go ahead and eat it, but by the time the drive is over there won’t be anything left to sell to those hungry Easterners.

You can’t rope a free-range chicken. A chicken hook would look goofy hanging from a saddle, but you’d need one if you’re still in a branding mood. You wouldn’t need a trail boss to kick drovers awake, not with an alarm of roosters in the herd.

What did drovers do with all those eggs? Saddlebags are designed for whiskey bottles, extra bullets and spare bandannas. You’d have a mess. Ten-gallon hats would hold a least a dozen Large eggs, and maybe even a dozen Extra Large, but then what do you do?

Do you leave the eggs behind? Hostiles would have an easy time tracking you. Hardboiled eggs might work on short drives, but they don’t last long when crossing salt flats or deserts.

An enterprising Alabama crime fighter in 1881 developed the Torpedo Chicken. Not an actual chicken, the device was loaded with four ounces of birdshot, two ounces of powder, and when a would-be thief reached in at night to pluck it from the roost, a spring forced a hammer to strike a percussion cap, detonating the “chicken.”

Shot goes everywhere, striking the thief and likely ventilating every chicken in the general area.

Two Pittsboro Road henhouse robbers were sent to the state penitentiary in January 1885 for a year.

Fighting chicken thieves can be hazardous. One local guy shot a stray calf after dark when he heard a noise near his coop and a blame fool went out barefoot, stepped on a toy wagon and about went lame.

A Rainstown fellow, down on his luck for four years, stole a horse, buggy and some chickens in December 1913 from his ex-wife for pin money. Arrested, he was charged with chicken stealing.

In trouble before, he had been advised to leave the state and not come back. “His former wife’s chickens, however, put temptation in his path which he could not resist.”

A Festive Question About Slang

Mr. Miner puzzles over the use of the word “festive” as an adjective modifying the word “burgler.” So does your Editor. The festive burglar has made many appearances on the pages of The Republican, but the word has also been used in other ways.

On June 10, 1886, the Tilden correspondent wrote poetically: “And now cometh the time when the festive road supervisor putteth on his war paint and goeth forth to invite the busy farmer to labor a few days upon the highways and fences.”

On March 9, 1892, it was announced that “B.M. Tomlinson has purchased tools and will become a festive plumber.”

Local news on June 18, 1896 admonished, “The festive weed needs cutting in many parts of town.”

In the midst of the Spanish American War, it was noted on June 2, 1898 that “A train load of the festive army mule passed through here one night last week.

The March 16, 1899 issue reported “the festive buzz-saw” at Danville Lumber Co. took off about a third of John Kendall’s thumb.

The March 11 issue of 1915 reported Judge Brill anxious to move from his temporary court room into the new court house because “he decided that the festive microbe was having too good a time at the expense of officials...”

The Yaller Front ad of March 18, 1917 suggested “Plow up the tennis court and croquet groud and raise the gay and festive potato.”

Sunday’s snowstorm caused the cancellation of many events, among them Phil Gulley’s 50th birthday party. Looking on the bright side, Phil says he can remain 49 for another year.

As we slowly return to civilization, this week’s tale will be told to our grandchildren, who will wonder why we insisted on calling them the “good old days.” __________

Tox-Away Days For 2021

Hendricks Recycling District will host five ToxAway Days in 2021.

All Household Hazardous Waste (chemicals, auto fluids, fluorescent bulbs, rechargeable batteries, pesticides, herbicides, etc.) is accepted from households free of charge. Fees are charged for the recycling of televisions, appliances and tires (over a certain number).

Only residents of Hendricks County are allowed to utilize the District’s ToxAway Day events.

Tox-Away Days are open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The 2021 Tox-Away dates and locations are: • Saturday, April 17, Brownsburg East Elementary School, 1250 Airport Rd., Brownsburg • Saturday, May 22, Hendricks County Fairgrounds, 1900 E. Main, Danville.

• Saturday, July 17, Hickory Elementary School, 907 Avon Ave., Avon.

• Saturday, August 28, Hendricks County Fairgrounds, 1900 E. Main, Danville.

• Saturday, October 9, Plainfield Middle School, 985 Longfellow Ln., Plainfield.

When you arrive at a Tox-Away event, stay in your vehicle. Volunteers will unload everything for you.

Please remember that latex paint should not be brought to Tox-Away Day for disposal. Since it is water-based, it is safe to dispose of with normal household trash once it’s been solidified.

More information about the Tox-Away Day program, as well as an online recycling guide, is available by calling the District’s office at 317-858-6070 or by visiting recyclehendrickscounty.org.

House Bill 1006, authored by Representative Greg Steuerwald, (R-Danville) was unanimously passed by the Indiana House last week.

The bill provides for police training in de-escalation, provides funds for improvements to facilities at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) at Plainfield, and makes it easier to decertify officers with a record of violence.

The bill requires the ILEA training board to establish mandatory training in de-escalation as part of the use-offorce training, as well as part of pre-basic training, mandatory in-service training, and executive training.

It also defines “chokehold” and prohibits its use under certain circumstances.

The bill specifies that a law enforcement officer who turns off a body-worn camera with intent to conceal a criminal act commits a Class A misdemeanor.

Under the act, an agency hiring a law enforcement office will be required to request the employment record from the officer’s previous employment agency, and provides immunity for disclosure of employment records.

The legislation will include $70,000,000 to improve facilities at ILEA, which trains a majority of the police in the state.

The bill has the support of law enforcement groups as well as the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus and the NAACP. The Bill has been sent to the Indiana Senate for consideration. _____________________________________________

Tourism Key To Indiana’s Economic Recovery

With all 2020 threw at the tourism industry, including 50% less spending by travelers, Indiana tourism still generated more than $6 billion for Hoosier communities (sources: Rockport Analytics/Tourism Economics). If supported and funded by state legislators, Indiana’s destinations and attractions can do more, employ more and provide more.

In a video, the Indiana Tourism Association (ITA) provides a glimpse at the people who hold the potential for an additional $6.6 billion infusion to Indiana’s economy. The video also speaks directly to Indiana policy makers with a call to action to fund Indiana’s tourism industry. The research is clear. The best way to support Indiana communities for future economic recovery is to invest in Indiana tourism and the Hoosiers who work in the industry.

“We know the next family vacation is more likely to be a road trip,” explains Jamie Bohler Smith, president of ITA and Visit Hendricks County executive director, referencing a recent study that revealed 73% of travelers will do so by car (source: MMGY Travel Intelligence). “From Fort Wayne to Evansville, we are ready to optimize the opportunity for Indiana communities and regain financial ground lost in 2020.”

As the 2021 General Assembly session convenes, ITA urges Indiana legislators to leverage changing travel habits to boost Indiana communities by aggressively funding Indiana tourism. The investment is the clearest path to reclaim local community tax revenues. Further, it can be an immediate relief to state joblessness given the Indiana tourism industry accounts for 37% of all jobs lost in Indiana from March through June 2020 (source: Rockport Analytics).

To help now, travelers can plan their own Indiana road trip. Destinations, businesses and Hoosiers interested in staying up to date on tourism industry research, data and advocacy resources can go to the ITA website and follow the ITA Facebook page.

“As families hop in their cars to travel, we want them to choose Indiana,” says Bohler Smith, “For that to happen, families need to know everything Indiana has to offer. “ The Indiana Tourism Association’s mission is advocating the value of tourism in Indiana and supporting the best practices of its members. Established in 1980, the association partners with the Indiana Destination Development Corporation, Indiana Restaurant and Lodging Association and other statewide associations to support tourism investment and promotion as an economic contributor to the state.

The Hendricks County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Inc., d/b/a Visit Hendricks County attracts visitors to the county by promoting and developing tourism, which stimulates economic growth and enhances quality of life.

The house at 517 East Main, Plainfield, (above) was purchased

by Chester C. Miller in 1904. (At right) Today, it’s home to Miller’s great-granddaughter, Joanna Sproul and her husband, Jeff. Baby Maggie will be the fifth generation to grow up in the house. ____________________________________________________

By: Melissa Gibson As the Community Liaison at Plainfield-Guildford Township Public Library, Joanna Sproull has a love for her hometown of Plainfield. A natural researcher and history buff, Sproull has memories spanning back decades in the downtown Plainfield area and loves to share what’s she’s learned.

One home, at 517 East Main Street, built in 1902, is at the center of it all.

“Chester Miller, my great-grandfather bought the home in 1904,” Sproull said. “He and my great-grandmother, Maeda Schmidt Miller, had two sons; Asher and Jack and they grew up in the house. The whole area was surrounded by corn fields and a farm at the corner of Shaw and Main.”

Chester Miller was the local dentist and Maeda CHESTER C. MILLER belonged to the Women’s Society organization in Plainfield, who helped start the first collections of books to become the town’s first library.

They lived at 517 their entire lives, raising two sons and contributing to the Plainfield community. Asher passed as a young child after a baseball accident, leaving Jack (Sproull’s grandfather) to care for his parents and eventually build a home on the vacant lot next door for he and wife, Ida Mae Good Miller to raise their family.

“I started dating my husband and was living in a home just around the corner from there. We were getting engaged and talking about our dream home and he just said,’ 517 would be perfect’. I thought at the time, it’s owned by someone else, but I guess the least I can do is reach out to them and let them know we were interested if they ever decided to sell,” Sproull said.

She wrote a letter, detailing her family history in the home, her current engagement and plans for the future.

She included photos of her grandfather on a tricycle in the backyard and another with her on a tricycle in the same back yard. And then she waited.

“The woman who owned the house wrote back a few days later and said she was getting married and they’d be putting the house on the market in the spring. I was so excited. Walking through that house for the first time in 23 years was one of the most surreal and magical moments of my life,” Sproull said.

They put in an offer and the keys were in their hands three weeks later. Sproull and her husband Ben were married and moved into 517 in the same month – a whirlwind of new beginnings.

The couple have been in the home for nearly four years and welcomed their first daughter in June of 2020. Baby Maggie is in Sproull’s sister’s old room and the couple are in the parents and great-grandparents bedroom.

In the background throughout Sproull’s journey to purchase and live in her great-grandfather’s home again, is the family’s appreciation and passion for the town and all it has to offer.

On President’s List at GSU Ida Mae Good Miller was well known in the Plainfield area for her contributions to the library. ____________________________________________________

Ida Mae was a librarian and worked to acquire and preserve documents and photos of Plainfield history. She also worked for the Indiana Historical Society for a time and was rooted in history and how the library plays a large role in preservation.

Sproull’s mother and siblings grew up going back and forth from their home to their grandparents’ home next door and when her mother and father met and married in 1977, they rented and eventually bought her great-grandparents home.

“I grew up in my grandfather’s bedroom; a teeny tiny room that barely holds a twin bed,” Sproull said.

Sproull’s mother, Susan was a librarian – the historical manager in the Indiana Room at Plainfield Library.

Fast forward a few years and elderly family members have passed away and younger family members have gone off to college. The home at 517 was purchased by a new family to build their own memories.

“I think originally, our Quaker heritage placed a high value on education and reading. My mother loved anything historical and had a deep respect for education and history.

She had a knack for remembering names, places and dates in Hendricks County. She just had a wealth of knowledge in local history,” Sproull said.

For Sproull – it was a love of reading.

“Books are magical to me. My dad would read a story to me every night and I always wanted another chapter. I just loved being read to.”

While towns across the county are constantly building and making way for increased population and interests, Sproull loves she can still sense the town’s great respect Kaley Keating, of Avon, for the history.

“You can love and respect the history but if you want to was among student receivhave a thriving community you have to do things to keep ing degreesin December up.

HCCF Awards $40,000 in COVID-19 Response Grants

As we approach the one year mark of the global pandemic, the Hendricks County Community Foundation is continuing to work hard to help the county meet the challenges of COVID-19.

In March 2020, HCCF launched the All In, Hendricks County Rapid Response Fund in partnership with Duke Energy Foundation and Hendricks Power Cooperative to support nonprofits that serve those most directly impacted

by COVID-19. All In, Hendricks County came from our partnership with Visit Hendricks County’s focus on the good things happening in Hendricks County.

The Community Foundation has awarded COVID-19 response grants in three phases. Phase 1 provided unrestricted grants to organizations providing the front-line response to the pandemic. In Phase 2, HCCF provided a matching grant opportunity to seventeen local nonprofits struggling to meet their year-end fundraising goals due to COVID restrictions. The grants were unrestricted but required a $1 to $1 match to encourage charitable giving from our community.

Phase 3 grants, approved by the HCCF Board of Directors in December 2020, provided $40,000 ($10,000 each) to four local nonprofits: Family Promise of Hendricks County, the Hendricks County Food Pantry Coalition, Hendricks County Senior Services, and WorkOne. These grants were designed to support areas of need in our community still impacted by the coronavirus, including food insecurity, homelessness, support for seniors, and unemployment.

Because of generous donors, both individuals and organizations, the Community Foundation has been able to provide grants of over $575,000 to support our community in dealing with the difficulties of COVID-19. Eric Hessel, HCCF Vice President of Programs said, “Over the last year our community has shown just how giving they are.

Because of these donors, HCCF was able to meet critical needs in our community. Whatever the future holds, the Community Foundation will be here serving Hendricks County.”

The Hendricks County Community Foundation partners with generous people to realize their charitable goals while addressing community needs in meaningful and lasting ways. The Community Foundation manages assets of over $19 million in a collection of funds created by individuals, families, businesses and organizations for charitable purposes. In 2020, the Community Foundation awarded over $1.6 million in grants to charitable organizations and scholarships to local students.

BHS Band Director Honored

Yamaha announced that it has named Chris Kaflik as an honoree of the newly launched 40 Under 40 music education advocacy program.

Kaflik, director of bands at Brownsburg High School in joins 39 other innovative, creative and impactful music educators under the age of 40 who exemplify the highest level of music education in the United States.

Kaflik knows the power of being a student-centered educator because he admits that he wasn’t one at the beginning of his career. “If you CHRIS KAFLIK are not student-centered, you might be in education for the wrong reason,” he said.

“The earliest years of my teaching — in drum corps, high school marching bands, etc. — were not as focused on the students. It was more about me. I learned from that pretty quickly.”

Kaflik also stresses the importance of remembering how you felt as a high school student and what you thought about certain topics. “I was not always the most talented student in my high school, college ensembles or drum corps. I struggled in some areas,” Kaflik recalled.

“Remembering how it felt to overcome certain struggles and recognizing that in my current students has helped my teaching and my relationships with my students.”

How he connects with students at Brownsburg High School is definitely one of his strengths. In one of his “40 Under 40” nomination letters, a colleague wrote, “Instead of directionless teaching, Chris has added intention behind his teaching and helped students understand why they do what they do. He has been able to guide students to improve themselves as people first before improving as a musician.” In another nomination letter, a student described Kaflik as “awesome — a first-round draft pick for sure!”

When Kaflik started at Brownsburg, one area he focused on was recruitment and retention. “We want to give students music that will challenge them and stretch their abilities, but we also want to make sure they are going to feel like rock stars when it comes to performance,” he said. “In marching band, I think the design is a big factor in recruitment and retention. We always want to do something unique and ‘cool’ that will intrigue middle school students, non-band high school students and any audience member to say, ‘I want to be a part of that.’”

Winning competitions isn’t everything, but in four years, Kaflik has taken Brownsburg to the Indiana State Finals and the Bands of America Grand Nationals. “To say it was a turnaround would be an understatement,” a colleague wrote in another nomination letter. “Chris would be quick in giving the credit to a lot of other people, but without his leadership, it would not have happened.”

The 40 Under 40 music education advocacy program was established by Yamaha to celebrate music educators at all grade levels, public or private, as well as private music instructors, selected from hundreds of music education leaders nominated by students, parents, other teachers or administrators, local instrument dealers and mentors last fall. ______________________________________________

MASTERING THE HOUSE Tim Paino

Owner/Inspector Heartland HouseMaster

useful tips for homeowners

Easy Ceiling Fixes We have been trapped indoors for several weeks and find ourselves staring at the ceiling. There it is, that darn water spot from an old roof leak. The roof has been repaired, the leak is gone, but the water spot remains. You have pushed repainting the ceiling because it is such a big job. There may just be an easy way out.

Just like a stain in those white towels, try to bleach it.

Take a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of bleach and water. You simply mist the water stain, not getting it too wet, and bleach it out. WARNING: before misting make sure that everything below is protected, or you could end up with spotted couch, carpet, or shirt. Allow the area to dry, see if the staining has disappeared, if not, repeat. This may just save you a major paint job.

Another annoying ceiling issue are those nail pops.

Those little circular pieces of drywall mud that just pop out of the ceiling. There is a verity of causes for this to occur and the repair may be different depending on the cause.

There is the missed truss. While nailing the drywall up during construction, the hanger will miss the wood structure above the drywall. The nail does not have anything to hold it in place. If this is the case, you will be able to take ahold of the nail or screw with some plyers and easily pull it out. Then you can take the drywall mud with a small artist paint brush and match your ceiling texture the best you can. The drywall mud most likely will not dry the exact color, but better than a hole. If you do not remove the nail it is likely to pop again.

Next cause is what we call truss uplift. Roof trusses are designed to move slightly as their wood members expand and contract with attic temperature and moisture fluctuations. If one of these trusses is close to a non-load bearing wall and the drywall has been nailed to that truss, when it expands or contracts it can cause the nail to pop.

Sorry to say, the only way to stop this is to remove the screw or nail which is fastened to the truss. The drywall is not going to fall because it is supported by the drywall on the wall that was installed after the ceiling and supports the ceiling.

Third, you have the nail or screw that just was not driven deep enough. If the layer of drywall mud over the fastener is too thin, it will tend to pop off. In that case you need to set the fastener a little deeper into the drywall and mud it again.

There are many other drywall repairs, big and small.

Those are for another day and another attempt of mastering the house. ______________________________________________

Exploring Hendricks County

By Jackie Horn

Walking in a Winter Wander-land OK, as much as I don’t want to admit it, (whisper) I’m getting older. While I don’t anticipate breaking a hip anytime soon, I have started worrying about falls. I just don’t bounce like I did when I was 30...or 50.

Getting out and about in winter can become an adventure. The words “black ice” and “sleet” send chills up one’s spine (of course, that could be because it’s also cold.)

Danger lurks at every turn. Walking becomes treacherous.

Seriously, when the weather gets too nasty, I hunker down at home. But if I let Indiana winters keep me inside, I’d miss out on five months of outdoor activity and fun EVERY YEAR. This past week I decided to do a little investigating. Where can I walk when it’s snowy or wet, someplace the paths are cleared of snow and maintained?

Hendricks County has several parks with paved trails that are great in all seasons but especially when it’s soggy or snowy. Avoiding mud is convenient. Having a snowfree walking surface and not being alone in the cold are matters of safety. This is what I’ve found: Avon maintains the White Lick Trail (which winds through Washington Township Park but is “owned” by the town) and Avon Town Hall Park trails. All total, the town boasts almost 5 miles of walking paths that are cleared when it snows more than 1”. IU West hospital campus adds another two miles of paved pathway. Even on cold, blustery days there are runners, bikers and dog-walkers.

Brownsburg has two parks with paved trails perfect for walking. Williams Park’s .78-mile track rings the 77-acre park. Arbuckle Acres 52-acre park boasts 1.3 miles of paved paths. Besides the parks, the B & O Trail stretches 12.3 miles. The two miles between North CR 500 East and SR 267 have always been heavily frequented when I walked them. I understand the entire length is popular year-round. Use caution when walking the paths after snowfall as the Brownsburg Parks Department does NOT currently clear the trails.

Danville’s Park and Recreation Department clears 5.7 miles of paved paths suitable for winter walking including the Ellis Park .75-mile loop trail, and Gary Eakin Community Park .9-mile perimeter path. Both are used quite extensively year-round.

Plainfield’s Friendship Park paths, White Lick and Vandalia Trails (almost 30 miles in total!) are kept up in winter and well used. You won’t be alone. Guilford Township’s Hummel Park offers four miles of groomed trails including the 1.1 mile track which is always popular.

Other things to consider when planning your winter excursion are proper clothing and footwear for the weather.

Is it COLD or merely chilly? Are you going to be exerting yourself and perspiring? Think layers when dressing.

Don’t dress too warmly that you get overheated and damp.

Layers that you can remove without getting too chilled are the best way to go. On a 40-degree day, I may start out with a fleece jacket, flannel shirt, long sleeved T-shirt, hat and gloves. When I’m finished I may be down to the T-shirt and gloves if I’ve really been moving.

Socks and waterproof shoes! Feet get cold quickly and if they get wet, it’s miserable. You might want to consider “Stabilicers”, stretchy studded rubber traction devices that pull on over your shoes. They’re especially handy in icy conditions.

Take your CELLPHONE. You never know when you’ll need to contact someone. Whether it’s a ride home because the weather changes or 9-1-1 because of an injury.

It’s better to be prepared and not need it than to not have it and be stranded outside in the cold.

If you are going out alone, let someone know where you’re going. Set a protocol where you will call them on your return, and if they don’t hear from you by a certain time, they call you or start looking.

Be prepared and stay safe. Now get out there! Don’t let winter keep you inside. _____________________________________________ Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

John Ruskin

By Chet Skwarcan, PE, President/ Founder of Traffic Engineering, Inc. Chet@TrafficEngineering.com

There Comes a Time to Turn in the Keys When to Stop Driving — No One is Excluded Shortly after I sold my accordion (my monkey died) I bought a ukulele.

Seems like everyone I know plays the ukulele (or maybe I attract ukulele players). In any case, I’m certain that if everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place…

And this brings me to a very serious matter, “At what point should someone stop driving?” And it’s not just the passengers in my car asking me this — it’s also the people walking on the sidewalk and people with mailboxes. Let me provide some tips about this issue. First, move your mailbox farther away — to a different street. Second, stop walking on the sidewalk.

But if your situation is more serious than mailboxes and sidewalks, here are some indicators for when it may be time to stop driving… ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Unsure who has the right of way Not sure what the speed limit is Forgetting to signal when changing lanes or turning Anxiety or stress while driving Stopping at green lights or when there is no stop sign Delayed response to unexpected situations Becoming distracted while driving Decrease in confidence while driving Hitting curbs when making right turns or backing up Scrapes or dents on car Having frequent close calls Other drivers honking at you Driving too fast or too slow

There are also health conditions that may threaten a person’s ability to drive such as dementia, problems with hearing or vision, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, diabetes — and any condition that needs medications that could impair driving ability.

The decision to stop driving does not have to be traumatic. Here are some interim steps to consider before completely giving up driving: avoid driving at night or in bad weather, drive only in familiar places, stay off of highways, limit distractions — turn off the radio, avoid conversations with people in the car (even if they are really there), not texting or using a cell phone.

As you get older, your vision, reflexes, and hearing change. These changes make it harder for you to drive safely. It’s natural to resist, but at some point, you will need to stop driving — the best time is before it becomes someone else’s decision.

When you do have concerns about a loved one’s driving, one option is to request a driving evaluation or request a written opinion from your doctor. Having a third party test someone’s driving takes you out of the middle.

Let me finish with this, it’s a bad idea to play the ukulele while driving — I would venture to say it’s more dangerous than texting — I’m certain the data will back me up. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy “I rather like it.”

Archy didn’t hold back when I asked his opinion on the new Idiom Challenge added to the Voices page.

“Idioms are a unique part of language,” the squirrel explained. “A combination of humor, history and cultural literacy. I’m pleased you’ve decided to bring some attention to them. I sometimes fear that they may get lost in this current age of isolated communication.”

I asked what he meant.

“Idioms are more often used in face-to-face situations.

They are hidden in a special part of the brain and seem to come to the front in spoken language. They seem more authentic in conversation. They can be used in writing, of course, but it takes some skill on the part of the writer not to make them seem awkward.”

“Like a cow with a crutch,” I said.

Archy raised an eyebrow. “Animals seem to be used in an unusual number of unflattering comparisions.

“Sorry,” I muttered.

“That’s okay,” the squirrel said in a soothing tone. “You probably had your tongue over your eye tooth and couldn’t see what you were saying.”

I started to thank him for being so understanding when he continued.

“Besides, you should hear the idioms we squirrels have that have to do with humans,” he cackled. “Unflattering but always hit the nail on the head.”

Knowledge is power, but sometimes you know when it’s time to know when it’s time to cut your losses. Arguing with Archy is one of them. ______________________________________________

Seed Catalogs Are Now In Season!

Our Readers Write

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County

I got this recipe from my good friend Susan N. It is so easy to make. I bought several glass pie plates. I deliberately bought glass so the quiche could be warmed up in the microwave. Once it is cooled I wrap it in Saran wrap and then wrap it again in aluminum foil and freeze. It is the perfect dish with so much sickness to take to a sick friend.

I add a bag of salad mix and some sort of dessert. I also include disposable dishes and silver wear.

Master Gardener

Seasoned gardeners receive a bounty of seed catalogs for planning (and dreaming of) their garden.

2021 seed catalogues are arriving.

O those gorgeous flower pictures, and mouthwatering fruits and vegetables! One can hardly wait to see it in your yard. Gardeners are optimistic, we are eager to try again this spring. Use those seed catalogs for ideas to help with researching different plant varieties and then plan your 2021 garden.

When thinking of this year do remember last season....

▪ Were those cucumbers as good as advertised?

▪ Did you get a large crop of tomatoes as predicted in the ad?

▪ Want a high acid flavorful tomato like Rutgers or a low acid yellow tomato or may be something in between?

In my experience, ordering from an old reliable company like Burpee will ensure you get good quality seeds and plants. I have been tempted by the ones that offer real deals, for only .99 cents. Some were excellent buys, but most were a disappointment.

Know most companies will give you new plants, if the originals do not survive, Be sure to order from a repthat is if you can find your utable seed catalog - or you receipt and whatever else might end with “fake seeds!” they require. Anytime we order, if plants fail, we may lose a whole growing year.

For now, relax, enjoy and use those seed catalogs to dream. It is exciting and inspiring to look at all those glorious photos!

I will seed you later!

A Bark From the Past: Henry

[Editor’s Note: The Republican’s first four-footed correspondent was Henry, a mixed breed rescue dog, who made observations about small town life from a dog’s point of view. The following was written in 2009.

Our humans leave the radio on for us dogs sometimes when they go out so we won’t get bored. We hear all kinds of neat stuff!

Yesterday, we heard about a human female in a place called Nepal. I have no idea where Nepal is, but I think it must be east of Ladoga. Anyway, this female didn’t learn to read and write until after she had grown up, and she told about how her life changed after she “had letters.”

Have you ever really thought about the power of words?

The very first word I learned when I came to Danville was “Henry.” When I lived in Nebraska, I was someone else, but I don’t remember who. I already knew some words, like “sit,” “come,” and “food.” But that was about all.

My humans in Danville talk to me all the time and I learned lots of new words right away. “Good boy,” “biscuit,” and “no.” I heard “no” a lot at first, but I had only lived outside and in a big kennel with lots of other dogs, so I didn’t know how to behave in a house.

Did you hear about the birthday of a used-to-be alpha called Mr. Lincoln? On the radio, they talked a lot about some of the stuff he said. It sounded like he was worried about the country because not everyone had freedom. Have you ever thought about what freedom is? It doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. You can’t go around hurting other humans and animals. I can’t just walk around Danville any time I want because of the fence around our yard, and I can’t eat whenever I want, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have freedom. I can write this column and talk about your new alpha Brocko Bama or say whatever else I want, because I have freedom. I can’t read too well, but if I could, I’d be allowed to read any book I could find. Is that great or what? What if you couldn’t do that?

Oh! That’s something else the human female who lives in Nepal said, that before she had letters, before she knew the letters that meant her own name, she had nothing.

Now, she and some other females from Nepal are starting a business of their own. And they’re going to start a school to teach other females how to read and write. Do you know what a gift it is to be able to read and write?

I’m not the world’s best writer, that’s for sure. I may be the best writer who’s a dog in the world. Maybe in Indiana. Okay, just in Danville. But to be allowed to write anything I want is what freedom is all about. The radio said there were humans in other countries who have been killed or put in jail for the things they wrote. They knew they’d be punished, but they wrote it anyway. They wanted freedom.

We have freedom and we take it for granted. I bet Mr. Lincoln would be proud if he could see what he started.

And it all started with the power of his words.

Thought for the Day: “…we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”—Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania ______________________________________________

Susan’s Quiche A little less than 1 cu. milk 1/2 cu. bisquick 1/4 cu melted margarine 3 eggs

Blend above ingredients in blender Add anything you want mushrooms, crisp bacon, at least 1/2 cu. shredded cheese, cooked brocolli, cooked asparagus Mix well pour into glass pie plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray Sprinkle with 1/2-3/4 cu. shredded cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or if put knife in center it will come come out clean.

Bee Jones ______________________________________________ To the Editor: What a great article in The Republican the week of February 1st on Growing Micro Greens by Colletta Kosiba from the Hendricks County Master Gardners.

This will be the 2nd year I have tried this fascinating indoor gardening technique. Just 2 weeks ago I ordered a new batch of seeds to try this year- lettuce, peas and bean sprouts.

One additional tip I might suggest is for seeds with a harder covering like peas, soaking them overnight will help them germinate faster.

I’ve found micro-greens wonderful for salads and easier to grow and use in the hot months.

And if I forget about the seeds and they are unusable they can go to the chickens for a tasty treat.

The Junior Play

By Noel Gatlin My Junior year at New Winchester High School I was part of a play. We had so much fun and the really cool thing about it was we got out of class. LOL. Well, you are not going to believe this but I can’t for the life of me remember the title. If any of you fellow classmates can remember, please call me.

I do remember the plot, mainly because I was the star (Yea, right). Everyone said I was perfect for the part; I played the class hood. I was Fonzy before there was a Fonzy. I wore a black leather jacket with the collar up and the girls put long sideburns on me with an eyebrow pencil.

I also oiled my hair and combed it back. I was always in trouble with the Principal, mainly because I would mouth off. I was in the Principal’s office one day, I went to the restroom while he had stepped out and someone came in and took money out of his desk. When the Principal discovered it missing, he automatically blamed me. I told everyone I did not do it, but no one believed me except my girlfriend Carol (Shelia Reed). Somehow they figured out who the real thief was, and everyone apologized to me.

I was so taken back by how sincere everyone was that I got rid of the sideburns, greasy hair, black jacket, etc. and turned over a new leaf.

One of the main reasons I tell this story is that everyone had a part in the play. EVERYONE! Some worked on sets, some on costumes, some run the lights, sound, took tickets, Etc. This is another example of how much better it was to go to a small school. With only 17 kids in the class, everyone participated. Try that at the consolidated school.

Ready, set, ACTION! ______________________________________________

The Idiom Challenge

Use one of the following idioms in a conversation this week: “You’re lower than a snake’s belly button in a wagon rut.”

“Grinnin’ like a possum eatin’ a sweet tater.”

“Fine as frog hair spit four ways” [Got a favorite idiom or family saying? Send it to us and we’ll try to “spread the word.” Just send an email to betty@TheRepublicanNewspaper.com, put in the mail to P.O. Box 149, Danville, IN 46122, or give us a call at 317-745-2777.

The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things — not merely industrious, but to love industry — not merely learned, but to love knowledge — not merely pure, but to love purity — not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.

Some See Prejudice in Opposition to Clermont PUD

By Melissa Gibson Despite an overwhelming support expressed by the public in public hearings, letters written to the Plan Commission and Hendricks County Commissioners and petitions signed in support of the Clermont Village Planned Unit Development, some community members are continuing to express a fear and concern for the plan.

Those fears range from flooding and drainage to property values, but other comments may be the result of bias and bigotry, partly due to the fear of Islamic extremist groups and the Muslim religion.

The Muslim Hoosier population is less than one percent according to Pew Research Center, though the population is continuing to grow, making the Indianapolis – Carmel – Anderson area hold the second-highest growth rate of Muslims in the country.

These are the many physicians, lawyers and IT people who spoke of needing a project like the Clermont Village at the public hearing Jan. 12 due to a lack of religious access in the county. Most, working and living in Hendricks County, have to travel to Carmel to access studies and prayer rooms.

The Indiana Muslim Advocacy Network has been busy trying to negate some of the fear and prejudice against the Muslim faith.

They have gathered information regarding active, mass shooting incidences in the United States in 2019. Of 28 mass shootings, one shooter was a Muslim and though the Center for Strategic and International Studies cites a growing terrorism problem in the United States, the Muslim community is not at the top of their list.

The Muslim religious group has had their own share of attacks.

In 2017, the Islamic Society of North American (ISNA) in Plainfield was vandalized and bullets were found in a sign outside the mosque.

In 2020 the Muslim community saw a rash of violence during Ramadan, Islam’s holy month of fasting and increased prayer. A mosque was burned to the ground in Missouri and another saw vandalism in Utah the same day.

In Feb. an Indianapolis man was shot twice in the back and died in an apparent road rage incident.

In May, Masjid E Noor, which proposed the Clermont Village project was attacked as gun shots rang through the mosque on Holy Day. There are more than 150 families that attend Masjid E Noor on the northwest side of Indianapolis.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there were very few worshippers in the building – likely saving someone from being wounded or killed.

Four to five shots were fired from a red sports car captured by surveillance cameras. One hit the window, luckily missing the people inside. Another hit the back windshield of Mohammed Nomair Chughtai’s vehicle.

Like the Clermont Village project, a variety of religious leaders and community members rallied around the people at the time.

Jerry Zehr with Carmel Interfaith Alliance said an attack on any faith is an attack on all faiths.

“If we were having an Easter celebration and someone shot into a church, it would devastate us,” he added.

The mosque installed bulletproof glass to protect against future attacks.

Who is at the top of the Center for Strategic and International Studies list of concerns?

In the October 2020 Homeland Threat Assessment, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said, “racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists – specifically white supremacist extremists (WSEs) – will remain the most persistent and lethal threat in the Homeland.”

They predicted scenes like the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and others surrounding the presidential election and inauguration.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation also stated the “top threat we face from domestic violent extremists” is from racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists, including white supremacists.

In fact, “right-wing” perpetrators were responsible for over 90 percent of attacks and plots on U.S. soil between Jan. 1 and May 1, 2020.

Regardless of personal beliefs and fears, many believe, allowing diversity in religion, race and ethnicity can only improve the fabric of the county.

Chair for Hendricks County Alliance for Diversity Becky Reich recently shared a quote by an unknown author, “What we don’t understand, we fear. What we fear, we judge as evil. What we judge as evil, we attempt to control. And what we cannot control, we attack.” ______________________________________________

Empathy, common sense and respect for the taxpayer’s dollar. That is how Andrew Pitcher approaches his job as Danville’s new Supt. of Public Works.

Originally from upstate New York, Andrew and his family are moving to Danville from Bozeman Montana.

Andrew had been taking care of Bozeman’s streets for the last 14 years and is now heading up Danville’s Public Works.

Andrew’s service in the Air Force along with his Bozeman experience has prepared him well. One of his first actions was to post the Mission Statement, Vision Statement and Core Values of the department on the DPW website and prominently in his office.

Go to the website to read all of it but in part it says: “Be honest, reliable, and accountable to the public” and “Lead by example and be open to new and innovative ideas.”

One idea he has is for DPW to manufacture their own brine mix for salting the roads. According to Andrew the brine mixture will save the department money and will be much more efficient than just spreading salt.

Another idea is to get the department involved in competitions sponsored by the American Public Works Association. Behind Andrew’s desk is a slew of 1st place awards for the APWA Snow Rodeos.

“The competitions are a lot of fun but the best part is what you learn from other departments around the country,” Andrew said.

Be sure to welcome Andrew Pitcher when you see him around Town. But don’t get in his way if he is clearing snow, Andrew has won All Around Champion of the APWA’s Snow Rodeo the last two years running. ______________________________________________

Wrapping Our Town In Love, Again The red, pink and purple banners returned to the court house square to once again “wrap our town in love.”

The banners first appeared last year after a school referendum threated to cause a divide in Danville. North Elmentary art teacher and 2020 Indiana Teacher of the Year, Katie Pourcho, came up with the idea to help put the contencious feelings behind and unite the residents. Her students helped to paint the colorful canvases.

The banners will remain through the month of February. Ms. Pourcho had her students paint and sign paper “Valentines” to pass out to the community.

This year, Katie will be traveling to Washington, D.C. for the National Teacher of the Year Contest.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Warriors Fall to Bruins in Sectional

Danville on offense vs. Tri-West Bruins.

The Republican

It is playoff time in Indiana for Girls High School Basketball. The Danville Warriors were eager to get to this stage, and face Crawfordsville, after finding their groove over the final couple of regular season games and finishing with a winning record on the season.

Earlier this season, Danville took on the Crawfordsville Athenians and took care of business quite easily. This game would be very similar with the Warriors taking a commanding halftime lead at 45-5. This lead would grow to 72-8 heading into the fourth quarter. The Athenians would finish the game with a strong quarter, edging Danville 16-8 but their season would ultimately come to an end and the Warriors would move on to face Tri-West in the semi-finals. Danville beat Crawfordsville by a final score of 80-24.

Everyone who played for Danville in this game scored. Maddie Patterson lead all scores with 23 points.

After an easy win over Crawfordsville on February 3, the Lady Warriors were ready to ride that wave into round two on February 5th against the Tri West Bruins. This game provided Danville with an opportunity to avenge their seven-point loss on January 2 in this same building.

Tri West came out with every intention to protect the home court taking an early 17-5 lead at the end of the first quarter. This game quickly went from bad to worse as the Bruins scored the first 8 points of the second quarter and this game started to look as though it would be a lopsided, easy stroll into the championship game for Tri West.

Danville was not yet finished, however, as they found their way back into the game and after falling down 25-5, they went on an 8-0 run to pull to within 12. After trading baskets for the rest of the half, Tri West would take a 31-18 into the halftime locker room.

The Warriors momentum continued to start the third quarter. They scored the first seven points until Bruins’ Grace Sandlin’s layup stopped the Danville run. Danville was now down by just eight points. They outscored Tri West 11-4 in the quarter and a game that felt like a blowout in the making was now a contest headed into the final quarter.

The Warriors would continue to play their heart out, cutting the Burin lead to just two at one point. Over a stretch of two or three minutes, both teams missed opportunities to pull away until Tri West was able to create the separation they needed in the final two minutes of the game. In the end, the early 20-point deficit was too much to over come and the Danville Warriors fell to the Tri West Bruins by a final score of 54-44.

Isabelle Wooten led the Warriors in scoring with 15. Kooper Stone and Maddie Patterson each finished with 8 points apiece.

Congratulations Lady Warriors on a hard-fought season! _____________________________________________________________________

County Teams Compete at IHSAA Sectional

Warriors Score Wins Over Hot Dogs and Chargers

By David Winters

By Kelly DiBenedetto As you walked into the pool you could see the relief and excitement on the faces of swimmers at the IHSAA Girls Sectional 11. Amid what has been pandemic-related disruptions for all high school sports this year, and a season filled with ups and downs, the IHSAA Girls Sectional 11 was competitive and exciting as always and did not disappoint. While the host Plainfield Quakers came away with the Sectional Title, each of the teams participating came in ready to compete and left with a long list of individual and team accomplishments.

Throughout the tumultuous 2020 season, teams have endured quarantines, cancelled meets and many meets without fans. Due to pandemic related quarantines many swimmers from Cascade had not had the opportunity to swim in a championship meet this season before Thursday.

The energetic Cadets finished the weekend with two new school records and several personal records and 5th overall for the weekend.

As always, Avon came ready to compete and finished 2nd overall. Avon’s standout Hannah Jones set a new Sectional record with a 56.08 in the Backstroke, added to her long list of personal and school records, and advanced to State.

The Danville Warriors had their share of challenges this season with the entire girls team quarantined not once but twice this season causing them to miss their conference meet as well. The Warriors came on strong Thursday with unprecedented time drops in every event and again on Saturday. The small team finished 8th. The Warriors will only lose one senior, Katie DiBenedetto, and look to come back strong next year. When I asked team Co-Captain DiBenedetto what her hopes were for her team next year Katie said, “I really hope the team continues to grow, both as a team and a cohesive group, just like we came together this year.”

Saturday’s Diving competition brought Plainfield Quaker’s first win of the weekend. Freshman Hannah Clark took first place with a score of 416.80. Plainfield’s team came into the weekend as a strong favorite, and the Quakers quickly proved why they were the favorite. The Plainfield girls broke 3 school records and 1 sectional record with their efforts at Sectionals. 500 Freestyle – Lucia Engle-Wilkerson (school record), 200 Freestyle Relay – Gilkerson, Heyob, Meier, Srnka (school record), 100 Breaststroke - Elle Gilkerson (sectional record), 400 Freestyle Relay -Srnka, Meier, Engle-Wilkerson, Heyob (school record).

energy and excitement to the pool deck. When asked about how their team preserved this season he said, “Covid-19 turned the world upside down, but it impacted swimming more heavily than any sport due to us needing water to train. From the very beginning of the shutdown we emphasized controlling things that we can control and making the most of all dryland opportunities that we had while we were shut out of our pool. We were able to persevere and have a great season due to the buy in and commitment of our athletes. They adapted very quickly to the “new normal” and embraced the challenges to get better on land.

Above all it was our team leadership holding the girls accountable through all phases of the season that kept us afloat. We talked very frequently about how lucky we were to even have some dual meets, and then how immensely lucky we would be to finish our season. That created a degree of humility in our girls so that they did not waste time with self-pity over the circumstances of Covid-19.”

He also shared, “Being a heavy favorite in a sectional meet creates its own challenges, so our staff was really focusing our team on just trying to have the most fun possible at the meet. We knew there would be up and down swims and it was hard to predict what the atmosphere would be like. We felt most proud of our girls’ togetherness and enthusiasm for each other. Specifically, our senior group has some really fast girls and they did a tremendous job putting self aside and pouring their hearts into their teammates as well as their individual races. Winning is really fun, but only if there is a great team environment fueling the victory.”

Congratulations to all the swimmers and teams. Good Luck to the winners headed to State next weekend.

Visiting Team Watches Local Teamwork

It was time for the Danville Boys Basketball team to take the every-other-year, seemingly always cold and snowy, trek up north to Frankfurt, Indiana to take on the Hot Dogs of Frankfurt High School on February 4. After a couple of nice wins the week before, the Warriors were looking to keep that momentum with only a few games remaining before the post-season.

Danville looked good in the first quarter and controlled the game in their typical high-scoring fashion and took a 24-18 lead into the second quarter. Frankfurt would answer the Warrior offensive output and outscore Danville 27-19 in the second quarter. The Hot Dogs led at halftime 45-43.

The Warriors would regroup and take a nine-point heading into the fourth quarter. While Danville seemed to control the pace of the game in the second half, Frankfurt was pesky and would not go away quietly as they played tough throughout the final quarter before the Warriors held on for the win by the final score of 79-71.

Tyler Dostin led the Warriors with a double-double, scoring 24 points and hauling in 12 rebounds. Kobe Ward finished with 22 points and Dominick Wynn added 12 for Danville.

Next up for Danville was a home game against the North Montgomery Chargin’ Chargers.

Danville showed early that they were the superior team outscoring the visitors 26-10 in the first quarter. This display of potent offense and stingy defense epitomized what this team can do. They have the ability to control the pace and stick it to the opponent, seemingly at will. They continued the dominance in the second quarter by again holding North Montgomery to just 10 points in the quarter while scoring 17 of their own. Danville led at the half by the score of 43-20.

The second half had a slightly different feel. Even though Danville outscored their opponent 17-13 in the quarter, they were only able to muster five points over the final eight minutes. In the end, a win is a win and one could argue they let off of the gas down the stretch, knowing that they were in control of the outcome.

Leading the Warriors in this game was Kobe Ward with 19 points. Braxton Fulwider added 16 points while Dominick Wynn scored 13 for Danville.

Next up for Danville is a road trip up north on State Road 39 on February 9 to take on the Lebanon Tigers who are 8-10 on the season. ______________________________________________
