1 st RecoveryHome

Way Maker, Hendricks County’s first recovery home, has an interior meant to welcome residents and create a safe space for growth and education.

There are several non-profit groups and leaders in the county working to improve the drug epidemic in our area, but funds are needed and time to put programs and expertise in place is lengthy.

After hours of phone calls, searching for an inpatient facility for her son, Dottie Grubb came to the conclusion there was no recovery residences the county could offer. Grubb’s son often stayed at Marion County facilities, placing him closer to dangerous situations rather than farther away.

Several members of Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL) have spoken about resources and the importance of having services offered to those suffering from addiction both available and close by.

Cindy Whyde, a member of PAL and parent of a son currently in recovery knows all-to-well the struggles of getting help when needed.

“My son was prescribed opiate pain killers from a shoulder injury in high school. That was his first taste of it and things progressed from there until it was a full -blown heroin addiction,” Whyde said.

In the beginning, Whyde said, no one was talking about it. It wasn’t until he joined a gym and the owner recognized signs of drug addiction that Whyde realized the issue was larger than teen marijuana use.

For 13 years, her son was in and out of treatment facilities, often out of state.

Whyde remembers the frustration and pain as she tried desperately to find help for her son.

“We had a lot of people say they won’t do inpatient because you ‘don’t die from withdrawing from heroin’. Insurance wouldn’t take you…. At one point, he was at the hospital and had been given something to calm him down. A social worker came in and she said ‘I’m not very good with this. Give me a patient with psychosis and I can handle it, but the chances of your son ever beating this is slim’,” Whyde recalls. “Her painting this bleak picture of my son was just heart wrenching. No one should ever be telling a parent their kid isn’t going to live through this addiction. I was devastated and finding a place for him became my mission.”

Delving Into Yester~Year

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

... And Equal in the Sight of Men?

To the Editor:

Attitudes toward minorities and behavioral norms have evolved in the county since more than a century ago. Remnants lurk while some persistent views are there for all to grasp if they simply admit their eyes and ears are accurately functioning.

The generally accepted post-Civil War racial divide was obliquely expressed, perhaps due to innocent ignorance. Danville had not yet hosted Klan parades attracting crowds of 10,000.

It was commonplace to use demeaning language in referring to minorities. Perhaps no one white saw anything injurious about it.

Consider black-face minstrel shows, that American national entertainment. Or the term “coloreds,” and mockingly exaggerated dialects in making jokes.

Danville’s “burnt cork fraternity” provided two Masonic Hall “drawing room entertainments” just after Christmas 1870 to “large audiences, composed of our best citizens, who manifested their decided approval by unfeigned applause.”

“Jokes, songs and burlesques” included “delineations of the Fifteenth Amendmenters,” with dances and comedies “strikingly true, and which “exhibited a talent for Negro Minstrelsy.” That amendment, giving black men the right to vote, had been ratified earlier in 1870. Blacks presented minstrel acts, too. “The colored minstrel troupe consisting of local artists,” along with talent from Paris, Illinois, gave a show in January 1890.

Nonwhites were identified by their race. Danville Post Office regularly advertised unclaimed letters, and when one was for a black man in July 1882, “colored” appeared after his name.

The “colored folks’” basket meeting in July 1885 near Pecksburg, where Old Settlers sometimes met, drew around 1,500, but three-fourths were white. Everyone was welcome to those faith gatherings. Rev. Charles Roberts, Plainfield, also black, preached morning and afternoon.

In distant news, the paper reported in June 1885 that Henry O. Flipper, the first black West Point graduate, held a commission in the Mexican army, “and gets along very well with the ‘greasers.’” Little beyond his name was accurately reported.

The American Doves of Protection, “a colored organization,” picnicked at Lum Tout’s woods in August 1885. About 75 from Indianapolis and 50 from Danville and nearby, along with 100 whites gathered. After building a platform, the group enjoyed dancing and singing.

Come nightfall, the party moved to Danville’s skating rink, charging 15 cents for dancing. Whites were invited as spectators.

“However, but few of the better class were present, although a number of men and boys (mostly from the lower element) . . . conducted themselves in such a manner as to mar the pleasure of the colored folks and cause them to lose all interest in the amusement.”

Observing America is “a free country,” The Republican reproved, “if a white lady or gentleman choses to attend a colored dance . . . so long as the manager of the occasion does not object, there is no law to prevent them.”

Whites mixing socially with blacks was “not a crime,” but “a matter of taste,” the paper continued, “yet public opinion censures anyone who does so, and if the young man or woman does not respect the opinion of the public, they should not and can not expect the public to respect them.”

A “colored dance” at the rink three months later turned out well. “The tall and the short, the lean and the fat, the white and the black . . . all enjoyed a good time.”

When John Lee grew the largest turnip seen around town, 22 inches in circumference and weighing 4-3/4 pounds, it also was necessary in October 1885 to clarify that he was “colored.”

Societies, clubs and benefits could send $2 to Philadelphia in 1902 for a manuscript detailing everything needed to put on a successful minstrel show.

The Ladies’ Auxiliary of Danville’s Sons of Veterans entertained with a luncheon and minstrel show in June 1920. Ten ladies in plantation costumes and blackface sang, danced “and worked off jokes until there was danger of some one becoming hysterical when the curtain was considerately rung down.”

The Union’s Plainfield correspondent in October 1883, on Civil Rights, claimed the town’s black citizens “should feel proud that they can stand on equal footing with the white . . . they are free and equal in the eyes of the law.”

Not then. Not now. Paul Miner

Lizton ______________________________________________________________________

The Lees of Danville

John William Lee, mentioned in the article above, was born a slave in Virginia. He never knew the year he was born.

During the Civil War he escaped to the Union line and was employed by the government to build foritifications around Washington, D.C. After the war, he came to Danville where he sold produce from his garden and did odd jobs. His daughter, Bessie, was the first Black graduate of Danville High School in 1893. Three of his sons also graduated from Danville. One of his sons, John Milton Lee (DHS 1910) help to found the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity at Indiana University, and in the first Battery of Negro Artillerymen in World War I.

John William Lee’s story was equal to any of the “pioneers” but was never published in any histories of Hendricks County. It was, however, recorded in the pages of The Republican. ______________________________________________________________________

North West Hendricks Schools Gear Up For 2021

With the exception of a short closure at the high school, North West Hendricks classes have been in session all year. ___________________________________________________

Staff at Northwest Hendricks School Corporation have worked hard to support and encourage student learning in spite the challenges of the past year. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

By Melissa Gibson

It’s been an eventful year for Northwest Hendricks School Corporation’s Superintendent Scott Syverson. Brought on staff as an interim in the fall of 2019 after abuse allegations within the school surfaced, Syverson’s first several months on the job required a rebuilding from the ground up.

Former Tri-West High School football coach, Tyler Bruce, accused of acting inappropriately toward a female high school student, was arrested under two counts of child seduction, one count of obstruction of justice and subsequently fired by the school board in March of 2020. Bruce has denied the allegations.

In the summer of 2019, high school Principal Adam Benner resigned and has since been charged with a misdemeanor for failing to report the allegations to police. Athletic Director Nathan Begle and Dean of Students Stacy Begle were also fired and face charges for failing to report child abuse.

Former Superintendent Michael Springer retired from his job in October 2019 after the school board’s initial decision to keep Bruce employed, against Springer’s recommendation for termination. All trials have been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.“When I came here, it was a tough time for the district,” Syverson said. “We needed to bring trust and transparency back, get some of these issues resolved and ensure the community that we’re going to do the right thing and be transparent about it. My goal was to do everything I could from my seat to calm the waters and let people know we’re going to handle things the right way.”

He immediately set to work, implementing and changing policies and procedures and then followed the changes with training for all staff and teachers.

“We’ve put ourselves in a position where we won’t have these types of sexual harassment issues in the future,” Syverson said. “If you see something, say something. Every one of us is a reporter. We can’t sit back and wait for someone else to make that call, so for me, it was a lot of cleaning up and reviewing the policies. It’s not enough just to have the policy, you have to train everyone to follow it.”

Two days after Syverson was named permanent Superintendent in March of 2020, all schools were closed due to a pandemic sweeping the nation.

“Unlike some of the other school districts, we didn’t have an e-learning plan or program. At first, we thought it wouldn’t last very long, but as time went on, it was clear this was something we needed to manage quickly,” Syverson said.

High school and Middle school students were able to continue working in their one-on-one environment with tablets, but reaching the elementary students proved to be a challenge. Syverson said teachers began working together to get content to each student, packets were made for students who didn’t have computer accessibility and after three or four weeks, a plan was in place for the remainderof the school year.

A major concern of staff and administration was how to get food to students on free and reduced lunch. Cafeteria staff and other volunteers gathered to create food packs for

any student who needed it. Meal pickups were available and gave students five days-worth of meals to bring home. Like most of the county’s school districts, Syverson said after the initial e-learning of the spring of 2020, it was clear, a lot more could and should be done. “Over the summer, we put together a large committee and looked at all the different parts of our operation. We had our nurse looking at how to keep track of students, another committee looking at social and emotional learning, another

on how to do a much better job of instruction and more,” Syverson said.

“We’re still learning everyday and trying to get better at it, but we’re a lot better than we were a year ago and I think parents have noticed.”

Fortunately, the 2020-2021 school year has moved forward without too many issues. The staff has implemented masks and social distancing as much as possible. And like every other district, Northwest Hendricks has dealt with large numbers of students out, not due to being sick, but because they are quarantined due to their proximity to the few who are.

Once everyone received training and things “calmed down” according to Syverson, he and the administration were able to look at new ventures and ways to improve education for the 1,900 students in the district.

Last fall, Syverson presented a 40-million-dollar project to touch every school in the district and improve upon safety and comfort for students and staff.

“The first shoe to drop is all around school safety,” Syverson said. North Salem Elementary, Pittsboro Elementary and Tri-West Middle School will each have new and improved safety and security with secure entrances at the front of each school.

North Salem and Pittsboro will also receive several upgrades, including additional classrooms, a new boiler system, new carpet, painting and more. Office space will be new and renovated in both buildings.

The school board approved the bid for the first phase of the project this month.

Once complete, the second phase will include a “complete overhaul” at Tri-West High School. All athletic facilities will be upgraded and tennis courts will be added for a new tennis program. A new athletic multipurpose building is planned to include additional locker room space, batting cages and an area for the marching band.

“The plan is pretty substantial. It’ll be really nice and give us more space for programming and we’re pretty excited about it,” Syverson said. “The key is getting those entrances secure first.”

This is the first major construction and upgrade to the school district in over a decade and may be beneficial to the inevitable growth the school corporation sees coming in the near future. With several neighborhoods under construction, the corporation estimates and additional 400 to 600 new homes in the district over the next five to ten years.

Administration is in the process of conducting a demographic study to better prepare for future construction.

Also on the horizon? A Future Farmers of America (FFA) program to be offered fall 2021.

“The program offers a lot of opportunity for our students. We’re excited about increasing rigor and establishing a new, three-year strategic plan. That’s something the whole community will be able to participate in and include their input. We’re excited to move forward with a new vision that will prepare our students. We’re headed in the right direction,” Syverson said.

North Salem Elementary was awarded as a Blue Ribbon School in 2020. One of six Blue Ribbon Elementary Schools in the state, they were recognized for high performance and improved student achievement.

Former North Salem Coach Shares Basketball Memories in Book

The 1970-71 North Salem Blue Devils - Coach Schaekel is standing at far right. ____________________________________________________________________________

Rookie sports author Ric Schaekel, a former head basketball coach at North Salem High School in the early 70s published his story in late November 2020 in Indiana High School Basketball Hoosier Hysteria 50s 60s 70s. The book has sold almost 200 copies on Amazon.Books.com in two months.

The 185-page book includes Schaekel’s memories of growing up in Pittsboro and playing basketball in High school for the Burros. It also explains his unique experiences coaching basketball in Lebanon under Jim Rosenstihl, at Pioneer High School near Logansport, North Salem High School, and West Noble High School in Ligonier, Indiana.

Schaekel compares some of his coaching experiences to episodes in the movie HOOSIERS. He feels a connection to the movie because he either played or coached in three of the gyms where the movie was filmed, Brownsburg’s College Avenue Gym, the Lebanon Memorial Gym, and the Bulter Fieldhouse. His high school teammate and best friend’s son also played Ollie in the movie.

The author also shares how a medical difficulty experienced by his wife six years ago changed their life and brought them closer together and nearer to the Lord. Married for 54 years, they lived in Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, and now live in Gainesville Georgia. Schaekel devotes parts of five chapters to growing up and playing basketball in Pittsboro and coaching basketball for two years at North Salem High School. Longtime Hendricks County basketball fans will enjoy some of his stories recounting rivalry games between Pittsboro, Brownsburg, North Salem, and Danville.

The author as a player for the Pittsboro Burros. ________________________

The rookie author gives insight into how issues like school consolidation, the end of one class basketball in Indiana, and Saturday morning coaches in the community affected high school basketball. He also shares how he enjoyedthe friendship of administrators, faculty members, and coaches like Dick Thompson, John Crick, Don Abram, Bill Compton and many more to numerous to name.

Schaekel said the writing process was also a life lesson. “I started the book as a legacy book to my kids, grandchildren, and siblings,” he said. “I started over a year ago, then stopped. Then the pandemic hit and I had time on hands and I started writing again. I never plan to make a testimony when I started the book. It just worked it way into the book.” He hopes that if you like Indiana High School basketball, the movie HOOSIERS, love stories, and people overcoming adversity that you will enjoy and connect with his book.

Picking the Right Lightbulb

I am one of those guys that keeps a backup supply of light bulbs in the storage cabinet so when a bulb expires, I am ready to jump into action and replace it. Then, I take the empty package to the store to restock my supply with the correct bulb type. Recently I went to the hardware store equipped with my empty light package to buy the exact bulb to restock my shelf. As I stood in front of the massive inventory of light bulbs, I realized they no longer sell the type bulb that I was in search of. Now I was confronted with the task to find an appropriate replacement bulb. The manufactures now must print a label on their packages with the following information:

1 Brightness - Lumens vs Watts: Watts is the measurement of the amount of energy a light bulb uses. Lumens is the measurement of the amount of light a bulb produces. Energy usage equals dollars spent. The old incandescent bulbs, no longer manufactured, were always sold by watts used, more watts = more light. The new LED (Light-Emitting Diode), CFL (Compact Florescent Light) or a Halogen bulb all produce more light while using far less watts, thus saving energy and money. Here is a comparison:

If you used to buy this in incandescent

Look for this much light in lumens

LED (most efficient)

CFL (more efficient)

Halogen (more efficient incandescent)

100 W 1600 up to 22 W up to 26 W up to 72 W75 W 1100 up to 20 W up to 23 W up to 53 W60 W 800 up to 12 W up to 15 W up to 43 W40 W 450 up to 9 W up to 11 W up to 29 W

Lumens vs Watts: Output and wattages based on most common products available for each medium screw-based light bulb. Actual light output may vary by product.

2. Light Appearance - Color - Soft White, Warm White, Bright White, Cool White or Daylight: I just want light – what is this? These terms are used by different manufacturers, but they are not all standard. There is a temperature scale, Kelvin(K) which addresses light appearance and the color cast and is more precise. This is difficult to show in a black ink article, so here is a simple description: (a) Soft and Warm White (yellowish range, 2700-4000K) are suited for bedrooms and living rooms, those cozy feeling rooms. (b) Bright and Cool Whites (white range, 4000K-5000K) look brighter and are good for kitchens and bathrooms. (c) Daylight (blueish range, 5000K-6500K) is the brightest and good for workspace such as the garage. Daylight can also be used in kitchens and bathrooms, especially for those of us getting a little older and need that extra assistance in our vision.

We haven’t talked about base type or bulb shape, that is a whole other discussion. My advice, next time you are standing in front of the light section of the hardware store, when in doubt, ask for help. _____________________________________________

Our Readers Write

To the Editor:

We are looking for things to keep us occupied during the panademic. We had not worked on our genealogy for many years. So now was the time to do some more digging. The main families were the Joneses, Brezinskis, Kautskys, and Paynes. Surprisingly the Joneses were the easiest to research. A very unusual story comes to mind about the John Newton Jones and Rosanna Belle Wilson family. These were my husband’s grandparents. There were 13 children in the the family. The last children were twin girls, Dolly and Dorothy.

Grandma Jones was beyond incensed. This called for a drastic measure. “John, when they start coming out two at a time, that is the end of it. John, you are going to take care of one and I will take care of one.”

Grandma would not even name Grandpa’s baby. If he was in the field and the baby needed to be fed or changed he was called into the house. I don’t know how long this arrangement lasted but there were no more babies. Thank you, Bee Jones

Exploring Hendricks County

Blanton Woods, Danville

By Jackie Horn

John and I needed to run over to Danville the other day and decided to take the scenic route and just drive around (a favorite pastime of ours). On the corner of Columbia street and Sycamore Lane/East CR 50N, we saw the sign for Ellis Park Blanton Woods Trail. We didn’t have our boots with us and didn’t know the trail conditions. The trail head looked partially paved with crushed limestone. Time for a quick walk! The trail first crossed a long bridge over the White Lick Creek. I mentally marked this place to bring the younger grandkids. There’s not much they like better than throwing sticks and leaves off a bridge into the water and watching for them coming out the other side, except maybe throwing stones. Trails were clearly marked on numbered posts (a 2019 Eagle Scout project), with colors and directional arrows. The trail conditions deteriorated to mown grass but still not too muddy. At this point it was a matter of woods or prairie. We chose woods and continued to follow the creek. Crossing a smaller bridge (also an Eagle Scout project) we entered the wooded section.

Now the trail was dirt, a little damp but still passable without boots. It followed the creek for a bit then turned and wound through the woods at the base of a hill or ridge line. We could hear voices talking from up the hill and soon found we were not alone on the trail. Coming from the top on another spur was a small group of hikers, small in number and size, bundled against the cold, out for a jaunt to run off some energy. *

Not having planned on the excursion and not prepared with winter gear, John and I were starting to feel the chill and breeze. With three choices of paths to take, we chose to loop around and head back to the car...and the heater. We added another spot to our list of places to further explore another day.

After returning home and consulting Google Maps, the Danville Parks Department (DPD) website, and DPD’s Director, Will Lacey, we discovered Blanton Woods isn’t part of Ellis Park. It’s a separate park.

Blanton Woods (where we’d been walking) is a 53 acres of nature park with floodplain, upland forest and a meadow comprising of almost 4 miles of “official” trails. What I hadn’t even begun to explore is the 20 acres of gardens and landscaped grounds which surround the Blanton House Retreat and Conference Center! Accessible from North Washington Street, the property is open to the public for viewing when it’s not being rented as a venue for events such as weddings.

An excellent map of the properties is available online at www.danvilleindiana.org/parks. From there, select “Park Documents” and click on “Blanton Woods map.” A color-coded map with all six trails and their mileage pops up. Happy exploring!

*Turns out that group of hikers Jackie and John met was Amber Flater of Danville with her children, Aubrey and Russell, and their friend, Landon Mendez. See Amber’s advice on having winter adventures with children on Page 7. ______________________________________________

ASK MR. TRAFFIC

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

Thursday is: Consider a Roundabout Day!

And When You’re Done Considering it — Reconsider

When well designed and located, roundabouts are magical. But roundabouts are not the best solution for every situation. And not everyone likes roundabouts. But not everyone likes broccoli either. And the reasons are surprisingly unrelated…

Having provided countless roundabout studies, designed countless roundabouts, and recommended seven (note: this does not include the roundabout down the road — the one you avoid). Although the roundabout craze has slowed, there are many situations where they make sense (and several where they don’t)...

Here are some guidelines for when a roundabout may not be the greatest idea you ever had:

1. If traffic flows are lop-sided between intersecting streets the “minor” street may have difficulty even entering the roundabout.

2. When a roundabout has more than one lane, it can be confusing. Particularly if the roads leading up to the roundabout do not have multiple lanes.

3. If excessive signage or pavement markings communicate how to navigate the roundabout, something’s wrong. Roundabouts should be intuitive (it’s like the song says, “Loving you is easy, love is like a roundabout, ya, ya, ya,” etc.).

4. Roundabouts are a “4-way yield” — this makes it interesting for pedestrians. Where there is a high volume of pedestrian traffic, safe roundabout design is challenging.

5. Finally, if traffic volumes are excessive, a traffic signal is likely the better option.

Intersections are either controlled by 2-way stops, 4-way stops, roundabouts, or signals. Each method has its place. And while I have your attention, let me clear something up; the first vehicle to arrive at the roundabout does not get to choose the circulating direction. The circulating direction is based on the hemisphere in which the roundabout is located. For example, in the northern hemisphere we drive counter-clockwise in a roundabout. And because the earth is spinning clockwise, this reduces the time required to circumnavigate the roundabout. So, if you’re running late for work, take the route with the most roundabouts — you may actually arrive early (maybe even the day before). ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy

“We had quite a session at the Squirrel Salon,” Archy mentioned. (By way of explanation, I had earlier been informed Archy uses the term “salon” in the sense of a gathering of intellectuals, not a place to get your hair and nails done.)

“Yes,” he continued, “Oscar thought we should start a podcast.” I didn’t see that coming. “We agreed that it would be an interesting project,” he continued, “but there was no consensus on the theme - historical, social, or cultural - or the tone - intellectual or whimsical.” “And the winner was...” I prodded. “The theme was all of the above,” the squirrel answered, “and as to the tone, the winner was whimsy.” I suddenly felt a wave of alliteration and asked Archy,

“Wherefore whimsy?” The squirrel gave a chattery laugh. “Exactly!” he said. “Whimsy is a wonderful word. It lifts the spirits and lightens the air. It is a universal cure for what ails you. View any subject with a bit of whimsy and it changes your point of view.”

I thought of the people I know who have whimsy and the ones that sorely need it.

“When will the podcast start?” I asked. “Where can I hear it?”

Archy got that look of frustration he gets when I don’t get the point.

“It’s already started,” he said. “It’s in your head right now, isn’t it? You can tune in anytime.”

As the squirrel scampered away, he added, “Don’t forget to tell your friends to subscribe!”

Taking Care of Your Christmas Cactus

By Colletta Kosiba

Hendricks CountyMaster Gardener

From tropical forests to your home. The Christmas cactus has been a popular pass-along plant for generations. Ask Aunt Mary where she got hers. ____________________________________________________

A Christmas cactus came to live at your house, a gift from Aunt Mary. Tips to give it a long life.

Native only to Brazilian tropic forests, cacti grow high up in trees in cavities of leaf mold and other organic matter that collects in the depressions along branches. These cacti are “epiphytic plants,” meaning their roots hold on to another plant, but do not parasitize that plant.

If they get bright indirect light and moist soil, as they do in a Brazilian tree-- yours will live happily for years.

This true cactus genus is Schlumbergera, they are not dessert plants. Like most cactus, there are no true leaves; their stems consist of a chain of leaflike segments rounded and flattened appearance. The young plants have an upright form, as they age the ends of the branches tend to sag, get thick and woody, to help support the weight younger stems.

In nature, Schlumbergera flowers range from pale to deep pink and occasionally red. There are well over a hundred new cultivars and hybrids now that bloom November to December.

By Amber Flater- Danville Resident

Parents: Have you worked up a sweat just to get your kids fully dressed to go outside in the snow, have them walk out the door excited to play, and be back at the door in 15 minutes complaining of the cold? Did they take off their gloves? (of course they did!) Did their feet get wet? Who knows, but you spent all morning digging out snowsuits, dressing everyone as warmly as possible and they come back not knowing even how to play outside. It’s disheartening, I know, and it makes you want to pack up those snowsuits and just wait for spring.

Did you know that on average, children ages 8-12 in the United States spend 4-6 hours a day watching or using screens? (Source AACAP) Child Mind Institute says American children spend on average 4-7 minutes outside a day. This statistic made me gasp. I think of myself as an “outdoorsy” mom, but I realized we were sometimes getting very little time outside. The days of fort building and creek walking seem like things of the past. These are things I don’t want my children to miss out on!

If you live in Danville, you are lucky; you have a nature park right in your backyard. My kids and I have been enjoying Blanton Woods this past year, mainly in spite of the pandemic. We’ve stretched our borders farther and farther from our backyard.

I want my kids to wander, to discover, to touch and see and smell nature, to get dirty and breathe the fresh air. I don’t want moody kids that are obsessed with screens. Full disclosure: my five-year-old son will watch ANY- THING on a screen. Golf? Yes. Fishing channel? Yes. HGTV. One of his favorites. So I am no stranger to screen time. In fact, it’s sort of a crutch for this momma before 8:30 am. We all use it, but it doesn’t have to be your only winter activity.

Indiana can be frigid, but I’m here to give you a bit of confidence on how to get your kids outside for longer than it took to get them dressed. Here’s a few guidelines I like to use for the colder months:

• Above 60 degrees: long sleeves.

• Between 50-60 degrees: jacket & long sleeves layered.

• Between 40-50 degrees: long sleeves and winter coat.

• Between 40-30 degrees: layered jacket, long sleeve and winter coat. Hat.

• Below 30 degrees: layer a base layer, jacket, and winter coat, also with base layer and snow pants. Include gloves and a hat. Winter boots are required for snow.

• Rain - Same guidelines but add an outer rain shell instead, and rain pants, gloves and boots. Younger children

In nature, Schlumbergera flowers range from pale to deep pink and occasionally red. There are well over a hundred new cultivars and hybrids now that bloom November to December.

Will your new cactus repeat bloom on same date next year? Probably not, your plant has been manipulated to push plant forward or to hold back depending on market conditions. Ours at home seldom do, but is a real joy seeing the cactus bloom whenever the plant decides to surprise us. Each bloom last about a week with the whole show continuing for about a month.

Make sure there is drainage hole in plastic pot. Fertilize, with a houseplant fertilizer, every 2 weeks Spring - early Fall, the rest of the time monthly. Stop fertilizing in September to help stimulate bud formation: resume fertilizing after the blossom period. Cacti prefer to be on the dry side while forming buds, and during bloom times.

For a large plant: you prune around June, which will cause the old plant to branch. Just cut off a section 2-3-5 joints long. Let the cuttings dry until callous tissue forms on cut end. Next put in a good soil mix. Keep moist. Will root in 2-3 weeks and new growth should start. Once started to grow, pinch cuttings back to encourage branching. For healthy plant, refresh the soil every four years. Three hundred years ago, Spanish explorers brought plants from Brazil back to Spain. Monks tended these new discoveries. The tropical cacti burst into brilliant red blooms just in time for Christmas. Now you know the rest of the story.

There’s one good thing about snow, it makes your lawn look as nice as your neighbor’s.

Get Outside! A Guide to Winter Wa=ndering in Blanton Woods

Photo by Jackie Horn

can use a one-piece rain suit. My kids have had some of the best times in the rain!

Let’s talk about layers - If you want to get the most time out of your outdoor adventure, dress for it! I used to put my kids’ snowsuits right over their pajamas. Comfy, warm, already on...skip a step, right?! The problem is cotton just doesn’t have the warmth factor other materials do. Use a base layer of synthetic material or merino wool. Wool is pretty pricey so I look for these pieces secondhand and when I haven’t found wool, I’ve opted for a blend of synthetics. Under Armor pieces work well, Cuddl Duds are cozy, and Rocky Thermal Underwear (Amazon) are super warm. Sometimes I only dress my kids in their thermal underwear and snowsuits and coats. Anything microfleece is also a great baselayer. So when I’m ready to get a hike in with my kids and it’s only 32 degrees, I start with the thermal underwear. I add a quarter zip or hoodie, add jeans if you want to and pull on the snowsuit.

Next is nice warm long (non-cotton) socks, maybe 2 pairs depending on how warm/big your boots are, and gloves. Throw on a coat and hat and zip up!

When my kids get too hot, I’ll unzip their coat. They can still play and the coat stays on. If they are still too hot, I take off the hat (I know they lose heat from their head, but it’s a million times easier than taking off gloves!) Speaking of gloves, I use thin ones if they are outside and there’s no danger of getting wet, but when there’s snow or a creek involved, I usually do a water resistant pair. Since my kids are 5 and 3, if we head out on a hike that will take a few hours, I sometimes pack an extra pair. My kids have heard me say it at least 15 times this winter, “The number one rule of snow is DON’T TAKE OFF YOUR GLOVES.” It seems to stick since I make such a big deal of it.

Another way I make long hikes possible is packing a few hot-hands warmers. The kids love to carry these little “comfy cozies” around in their pockets and feeling the heat when their hands get wet or too cold.

I usually bring a small backpack with water bottles, a bag of Goldfish (that I keep secret and only use for extreme whining), and some bandaids. Don’t tell them you have snacks. They will bombard you with “Can I have my snack?” within the first five minutes of hiking. I bring my phone and hand warmers for myself. I also sometimes bring a nice hot latte or hot chocolate in a cup to get me motivated to adventure with my kiddos, and sunglasses for myself. Wear your Uggs! Cold feet spoils adventures.

Maybe you’re thinking, “Ok, I can dress them warm enough and hoard snacks all day, but whatever will we do?” If you don’t rush your children, and let them wander on the trails, they will explore on their own. It takes a while to break through our screen fog and start adventuring! Occasionally though, it’s easy to get bored on the trails. So, take a trail map and let the kids decide the path you take. Or talk up the “Secret Stairs” (a staircase in Blanton we affectionately named because it takes us a bit to get there and we have to cross a small creek. Very adventurous.)

Pack a few exploring tools, like a magnifying glass, or binoculars, or just take toy guns. Download a geocaching app and search around for hidden geocaches (kids 7 and up). Take a bird bingo board or search for nests. Break ice on the creekbank with rocks. Take your mountain bikes on the trails! Download an Indiana bark guide and identify trees. If your kids are young, tell them they can have gum for as long as they are outside! A bag of Big League Chew can last for miles and miles. If all else fails, promise hot chocolate at the end, this bribe hasn’t let me down yet.

Have an outside adventure today! See you on the trails!

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.

Well, here I am lying awake while everybody else in the house is sound asleep. I don’t have trouble falling asleep too often, but when I do, WOOF!, watch out! If I don’t get a solid eighteen hours sleep out of twenty-four, the next day, I’m a wreck. I am gr-r-r-umpy! I don’t want anyone to get close to me.

I’ve got a really nice place to sleep, on a soft rug beside my humans’ bed. They always read for a while, so I’m usually asleep long before they turn the light out.

What can I do to get sleepy? I guess I could go for a long walk, but the only way to do that would be to make a lot of U-turns around the bed. My human is a light sleeper, and the bedroom has a wooden floor. The clickety-clickety of my toenails would wake him up, and I don’t want to do that.

I think I’ll try counting sheep. I’ve heard that works. Okay, I’m picturing a field of sheep. One. Two. Three. Four. BOR- DER COLLIE! WOOF!WOOF!WOOF! Oh, man, that didn’t work. Now, I’m more awake than before.

I’ll try the relaxation method, where you relax all your body parts, one at a time, starting with the part farthest from your head. First, I relax the tip of my tail. Aaaah. Now, the middle of my tail. Ooooh. And the base of my tail. Mmmm. Now, I relax my butt…oops. Too much. Excuse me. Okay, my hind legs. First, my toes, my ankles, my knees, and my flanks. That’s nice. Now, I relax my tummy. Oh, man, that didn’t work out. When I relaxed my tummy, I felt hungry, and when I felt hungry, I started thinking about good things to eat. And when I thought about good things to eat, I started wagging my tail! Now, I have to start all over again!

Maybe some slow, deep breathing will help. I’m going to inhale and exhale very slowly. That’s supposed to make you less tense, so it might do me some good. Here we go. Inhale…… exhale…....inhale…….exhale…...inhale.

Oh, wow, that really dried out the inside of my mouth. My tongue feels like a rawhide chewy. I need to get a drink of water. Excuse me while I check to see if my human left the lid up again. That’s better! But I still don’t feel sleepy. Okay, that’s it. I’ll just have to accept that tonight I’m not going to get any sleep, and I’ll stay away from everybody tomorrow. For now though, all this work has made my eyes burn, so I’m going to rest them for just a seczzzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz.

Thought for the Day: The times in which we live have brought us a thousand useless luxuries and made them necessities, and given us a sleep which does not refresh.—Mark Twain (paraphrased) Experts agree that Americans do not get enough sleep because of cultural influences. Watch less TV and go to bed earlier. You’ll feel better! ___________________________________________________

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.

1 st Recovery Home (Continued From Page 1)

A large living area will allow residents to hold meetings and have group discussions. ____________________________________________________

Volunteers from across the county have pitched in to make bunk beds, purchase supplies and make the home chemical free. ___________________________________________________

Cindy Whyde (center) has worked with family, friends and volunteers to open the first recovery home in Hendricks County.

Once an inpatient facility takes a client, Whyde said, they basically help the patient through withdrawal. Most stays are five to six weeks and then the patient is sent on to transitional housing, if one can be found.

The homes her son encountered were often four or five men in an apartment together with night checks and random drug screens. In their experience, a person newly sober and trying to get their life back together needed more support than what was being offered. The process is overwhelming to get a job, pay for bills and manage recovery.

“What I saw was one person checking up on 50-60 men and women living in these apartments and they’re not really getting what they need. I wanted him to have a spiritual aspect as he grew. I just felt in my heart that we needed Christian mentors and a slow, step-down process,” Whyde said. So, she’s doing something about it. Way Maker is the first recovery house in Hendricks County and will open Febuary 1. Named after a popular Christian song by Sinach, Whyde recalls the lyrics getting her through some tough times.

“I’ve always felt this little glimmer of faith,” Whyde said. The Bible teaches we only need a mustard seed of faith and there’d be times I’d be on the floor of my bathroom thinking ‘I don’t know if I can do this’. There were times I couldn’t function. I was just empty,” Whyde said.

She and her husband owned a home on U.S. 40, backing up to a large pasture and across from a few businesses. They no longer needed the large space and with the location fairly secluded but close enough to jobs in Plainfield and local restaurants, Whyde knew she had found her first location.

She and her husband bought another home in Plainfield and began renovating and preparing their old home for new guests.

The home, located on the west border of Plainfield features room for 11 adult men and three-and-a-half bathrooms. ____________________________________________________

Even though Whyde is launching the initiative, it’s fair to say preparation has been a community project. Mustard Seed is a non-profit furniture supplier, and they donated several pieces for the property. A friend of Whyde’s husband is a carpenter and made 12 bunk beds for the bedrooms. Friends in interior design donated their time to make the home welcoming.

Norwex is a chemical free cleaning company and local representative, Dian Hurst, has joined the initiative. Purchases can be made for the home, or for your own home, with the proceeds going back into the Way Maker house.

A gift registry was opened at Walmart and Target for items such as bedspreads, pillows, dish cloths and towels.

“I’m beyond grateful for what we’ve seen happen,” Whyde said. “I just believe God is completely behind this.”

The team of volunteers are still looking for a 12-passenger van for transportation, a vacuum, desktop or laptop computer and consistent financial support to help them grow. Eventually, Whyde said, she hopes to expand across

the county.

“If we can get this one started, people will see it is possible,” Whyde said. “I’d love to find homes across the county that need rehab and start opening up more. I’m interested in opening a women’s residence and we’re continuing to apply for additional certifications.” Way Maker is not a treatment facility, though services will be offered to support the men as they reclaim their lives.

“We are the bridge between coming out of treatment and getting life back together again,” Whyde said. “It’s very structured. You have to get a job, take routine drug tests, there are curfews – not a lot of freedoms because you have to earn those things. The longer you stay and you meet certain criteria, the more privileges you receive. It’s all about behavioral changes.”

Residents will begin “unpacking” their lives, Whyde said. They’ll receive assistance in securing employment, dealing with financial burdens, learning more about their personal relationships and personal journey – all with a Christian backdrop in teaching.

And for the loved ones – the family is hoping to encourage discussion. Whyde wants parents to know they are not alone.

“There is a stigma attached to addiction. Families don’t want to talk about it and it’s tearing them apart. Maybe it’s shame or embarrassment or maybe you’re just a very private person. People hide addiction – I know, I did it.”

And she knows the pain and fear of the unknown, of having a child living in a recovery residence and worrying about their safety and health.

“This is going to be what THIS mother would have liked to see in a recovery residence when we were going through it.”

Way Maker is currently accepting applications for ten men, looking for a place of support and Christian values.

County Recycling District Offers Drop-Off Centers

The Hendricks County Recycling District provides four Recycling Drop-Off Centers within the county so that households without the option to subscribe to curbside recycling have a way to recycle.

The Drop-Off Centers are located in Coatesville, Lizton, North Salem, and Stilesville and accept the following materials:

• Plastic bottles, jugs, and food tubs/cups – labels and lids can stay on

• Paper and cardboard – flatten all boxes; shredded paper must be in a paper bag

• Metal food and beverage cans – labels and lids can stay on

• Cartons – milk, soup, wine, broth, and juice boxes

(without straws or wrappers)

• Glass bottles and jars – lids and labels can stay on

Materials do not need to be sorted by type–all the items can be placed loosely in any bin and should not be bagged.

The District contracts with a private recycling contractor (Ray’s currently) to provide the recycling bins and service the recycling centers. The centers at Coatesville, North Salem, and Stilesville are serviced twice each week. The Lizton center is serviced every day except Sunday. These services add up to over $100,000 annually that the District pays to provide the Recycling Drop-Off Centers to Hendricks County.

In order to keep the centers tidy, adopting groups help to monitor them by picking up litter and reporting issues that arise. The current adopting groups are the Town of Coatesville, the Town of North Salem, and the Stilesville Masonic Lodge.

The biggest challenges faced at the sites is material being left outside of the bins and users placing items in the bins that are not accepted in the program. Materials that are not accepted in the program are thrown away during the sorting process and are considered contaminants.

Unacceptable materials include: • Plastic bags and film, Styrofoam and other plastics, Scrap metal, Trash, Loose lids

Residents who live in Avon, Brownsburg, Clayton, Danville, Plainfield, and Pittsboro are encouraged to subscribe to curbside recycling. For less than $10 per month, recyclables will be picked up at your home. This will save you time and fuel and will allow more space at the Recycling Drop-off Centers for those residents who don’t have curbside recycling as an option where they live. ______________________________________________

BREANNA “BREE” LYNN WILSON, 22, from Jamestown, passed away January 22, at her home, surrounded by her family. Bree fought her battle with brain cancer as a fierce warrior with dignity and grace. She was a bright light inspiring many people with her vibrant personality, and unwavering faith in God, despite the incredibly unfair circumstances life dealt her.

She had a love for animals, especially her adorable cat Ellie, loved to dance, had incredible friendships, loved photography and loved to travel. She also loved winning game night with her family and friends.

She was pursuing her dream to become a nurse at the time of her death.

Big Week in Basketball for Danville

Above: Tyler Dostin shooting free throw at Greencastle

By David Winters

It was a busy week on the hardwood for the basketball programs at Danville Community High School.

On Monday,January 18, the Lady Warriors hosted the Southmont Mounties.

We can agree that basketball is a team sport. It takes the effort of all players to be successful. Occasionally, however, it is acceptable to recognize significant individual achievements or moments. This night was the long-awaited return of Senior Guard, Chloe Guild. Shortly after entering the game, to a chorus of cheers from fans and teammates, Chloe scored her first points of the season at the 4:05 mark of the first quarter. She finished with four points and two rebounds on the night but more importantly, was able to get on the floor and help the team.

The Warriors controlled the pace of the game throughout and won this one going away, 54-35. Leading the scoring for Danville was Isabelle Wooten with 12 points and Haley Ancelet and Maddie Patterson, each with 11 points.

On Tuesday, January 19, the Varsity Boys hosted Monrovia for a non-conference match up. Monrovia was struggling on the season sporting a 3-7 record coming into the game and Danville was expected to pick up the win.

It was a game that was way too close from the start and the Warriors were never able to create enough space between them and the Bulldogs, leading only by five points at half time. Monrovia would edge Danville in each of the final two quarters by one-point each but the Warriors played great defense when it mattered, holding on to win a close game 60-57. Leading the way for the Warriors was Tyler Dostin with 19 points followed by Kobe Ward with 14 points.

On Friday, January 22, the Warriors hosted the Western Boone Stars for a double-header conference match-up as the Varsity Girls program played first followed by the Varsity Boys. The respective Junior Varsity teams played their games in the auxiliary gym at the same time. Each of the Junior Varsity teams won their respective games.

The varsity teams would dominate the Stars in their respective games, as expected. The Lady Warriors held Western Boone to just four points in the first and fourth quarters and just 29 points for the game. Offensively, Danville was very efficient and controlled that side of the ball with relative ease. The final score of this game was 68-29.

2021 By-the-Week Calendars

The 2021 by-the-week calendars are now available at The Republican office, 6 E. Main Danville for current and new subscribers.

The calendars are first come, first serve. If you wish to reserve your calendar, call 317-745-2777 or email betty@therepublicannewspaper.com and we will hold it for you. ______________________________________________

Patterson led the team with 23 points followed by Ancelet with nine points.

The Varsity Boys had a very similar game against Western Boone. They took a 35-17 lead into the locker room and while the Stars tried to make it interesting in the third quarter, the home team was just too much and they took care of business, winning 76-42.

Leading the team in scoring in this game was Kobe Ward with 23 points followed by Brayton McMahon with 13 points.

final game of the week on Saturday, January 23 took the Varsity Boys team west to face a very good team, the Greencastle Tiger Cubs.

Senior guard Brody Whitaker for the Tiger Cubs is one of the top shooters in the state of Indiana. In this game, he showed everyone early and often why he is near the top of the talent heap of basketball players in the state. More on him later.

The visiting Warriors showed early that they were not intimidated by the home team with a 10-4 record and a top player. They established both their offensive and defensive superiority in the first quarter and led 21-12 headed into the second. Insert screeching record sound here. This is where the game would take a drastic turn for Danville. The scoring by the teams essentially flip-flopped in the second quarter with the Tiger Cubs winning the period 22-11 and taking a 2-point lead into the half time locker room. Usually an offensive threat at all times against any team, the Warriors were only able to muster five points in the third quarter and Greencastle built their lead to 14 as the final period started. The offense for Danville would return in the quarter closing the gap to within two possessions with just a couple of minutes remaining.

In the end, it was not enough for the visiting Warriors and they would lose for only the second time this season, 65-56.

Brody Whitaker for the Tiger Cubs led all scorers with 33 points while hauling in 13 rebounds. Danville was led by Brady Ruggles who finished with 15 points and after early foul trouble plagued Junior Guard, Braxton Fulwider, he finished with 11 points, all in the second half, and kept the team close near the end.

The Varsity Boys are now 8-2 on the season and face the Northview Knights in a home game on January 26.

The Varsity Girls have a record of 9-10 and travel to Monrovia on January 26 for their next match up.

DMPD 2021 K9 Fundraiser

The Danville Metropolitan Police Department’s K9 program is a vital service for the Town of Danville. K9 Zeke and his handler, K9 Sergeant Slayback, are deployed hundreds of times a year and are used to locate illicit drugs, track missing individuals who have wandered off and chase bad guys when they are violent or choose to run from the police.

K9 Zeke has reached the end of his long working career and he's ready to retire and enjoy his time at home while a new K9 partner hits the streets of Danville.

To ensure K9 Zeke can retire and to secure a new partner for K9 Sergeant Slayback, the DMPD has launched its K9 Fundraiser. The goal is raising $6,500, which will be added to the funds of two additional grants, to pay for K9 Sergeant's new partner and to also add a second K9 Unit for additional coverage for the Town of Danville.

Monetary donations will

be accepted at the DMDP Administrative Office during normal business hours, or checks can be sent to 49 N Wayne St Danville, IN 46122 Attn. Danville Police Department with a memo line on the check reading "Police Department K9 Fund." If you have any questions regarding donations, please call 317-745-4180 and choose option "5."

IS THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE THE LORD’S CHOICE?

As we begin the new year, let’s assess our spiritual standing before God. So many folks are not interested at all in spiritual things and give no regard to eternity. We must understand that we live on this earth for a defined time in days, weeks, months or years. Eternity is defined without end and man has only this life to prepare for it. We don’t have the option to “take a pass” and just leave those things for others. We will all stand before God at the judgement so let’s make a effort to consider these things.

EVAN DUANE KESSLER passed on Thursday January 21, 2021 surrounded by loved ones.

Clayton and Louise Kessler welcomed Evan to the world May 26, 1933 in Crawfordsville, Ind. Thanks to Louise’s passions, Evan had a deep love for maple syrup (fresh from their trees) and tennis. Evan and his brother Wayne developed a rivalry both on the front lawn tennis court and in the cellar around the ping pong table.

Evan was blessed to find eternal love twice in his lifetime. Evan and Mary “Mike” Patton Kessler were married on May 31, 1953 in Liberty Chapel in Crawfordsville. Evan and Mike spent 39 years together until her passing in 1992. Evan and Connie Wilson Katchka Kessler wed on December 28th, 1996 in Brownsburg, and remained happily married until his passing.

Evan was a very proud alumni of Purdue University. He received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1955. While at Purdue, Evan was in the Army ROTC and later a serviceman in the Army Reserves.

Evan utilized his degree while working at Esterline Angus and then GM Allison Transmission. He devoted his free time to helping those around him. He served on the Brownsburg School Board and later on the Brownsburg Education Foundation, and helped build Brownsburg Blastoff playground. He actively served in various roles for Cavalry Methodist Church, including creating and organizing the Brownsburg Tennis Tournament as a fundraiser. He was active in forming the Widowed Persons Support Group, was a volunteer driver and a Census taker.

Evan was a nature enthusiast and thrived off quality time with his loved ones. This led to a lifetime of snow and water skiing, fishing, paddle boat rides, trips to numerous National Parks, and infinite card games along the way all while instilling this passion in his children and grandchildren. His love for national parks led him to accomplish the incredible task of climbing Half Dome in his favorite National Park, Yosemite. He and Connie spent many years wintering on Hilton Head Island challenging worthy foes and great friends in bridge and tennis.

Evan’s sharp wit and cleverness lead to a deep love for word play. He enjoyed writing limericks for every special occasion, clues for Christmas gifts and scavenger hunts, and solving the weekly cryptoquip.

Evan will be lovingly remembered by his surviving familyhis brother, Wayne; his wife, Connie; his children, Kris (Dave) Lippincott and Clark (Kim) Kessler; grandchildren, Ben (Trey), Craig (Purvi), and Ted (Bruno) Lippincott, and Alex (Chad) Thompson and Lauren (Lukas) Poplevicius Kessler; great grandchildren, Beckett and Charlotte Lippincott and Nash Evan Thompson; and two step daughters, Lisa (Christian) and Kinsey Katchka.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP OF HENDRICKS COUNTY BUILDING CORPORATION AND WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP OF HENDRICKS COUNTY, INDIANA

You are hereby notified that on Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. local time, the Township Board of Washington Township, Hendricks County, Indiana (the “Board”) will hold a public hearing on a proposed lease (the “Lease”) to be entered into between the Washington Township of Hendricks County Building Corporation (the “Corporation”), as lessor, and Washington Township, Hendricks County, Indiana (the “Township”), as lessee with respect to the financing of all or any portion of (i) an Aquatics Facility (including activity pool, slide tower, wave pool, etc.), (ii) an Administrative, Concessions and Bathhouse Facility, and (iii) any associated infrastructure, utilities, parking and projects and improvements related thereto to be located on approximately 29 acres currently owned by the Township and located off of County Road 625 E between County Road 100 S and US 36 in the Township (collectively the “Project”). The public hearing will be held at a meeting commencing at 6:30 p.m., local time, on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, in the Washington Township Government Center, 311 Production Dr. Avon, Indiana. In the event the current health emergency continues, remote testimony instructions will be posted on the Township’s website and accommodations will be made at the above hearing location.

The leased premises (the “Premises”) under the proposed Lease consists of the Project, and the real estate on which the Project will be located. The rental installment under the Lease shall be based on the value of the portion of the Premises under such lease, which will be complete and ready for use and occupancy by the Township at the time such semi-annual installment is made. The proposed lease provides for a maximum term of seventeen (17) years commencing on the date of issuance of bonds by the Corporation to finance the Project (the “Bonds”) with a maximum annual lease rental in an amount not to exceed $1,350,000.00, payable in semiannual installments on January 15 and July 15 of each year during the term of the Lease. The maximum lease rental for the entire team of the Lease is $22,950,000. The estimated interest rate on the Bonds is 2.25% with an estimated total interest cost of $3,238,807.00 for the life of the Bonds.

As additional rental, the Township shall maintain insurance on the Premises and shall pay all taxes and assessments on the Premises, as well as the cost of all alterations and repairs. After the sale of the Bonds, the yearly rentals under the Lease shall be reduced to the multiple of $1,000 next higher than the principal and interest due on the corresponding series of Bonds in each twelve month period, plus no more than $5,000, payable in semiannual installments commencing on July 15, 2022. The Township shall pay lease rentals solely from the revenues of an ad valorem property tax levied by the Township on all taxable property in the Township pursuant to IC 36-1-10-17. The Township may also pay lease rentals from other revenues legally available to the Township. The Lease will be subject to annual appropriation as required by IC 36-1-10-5.

The Lease provides an option to the Township to purchase the Premises on the terms contained in the Lease. The Project will be used for the purposes of providing park and recreation facilities and services to citizens of the Township.

The plans, specifications and related information, including the estimates for the cost of the Project, as well as a copy of the proposed Lease, are available for inspection by the public during normal business hours, at the office of the Township Trustee, in the Washington Township Government Center, 311 Production Drive, Avon, Indiana.

At the hearing, all persons interested shall have a right to be heard as to whether the execution of the Lease is necesary, and whether the lease rentals provided for are fair and reasonable rentals for the Premises. The hearing may be adjourned to a later date or dates. Following the hearing, the Township Board may authorize the execution of the Lease as originally agreed upon, rescind the proposed Lease, or make modifications thereto as may be agreed upon with the Corporation, but in no event may the rentals or term exceed the amounts set forth in this notice. The Township Board may approve the execution of the Lease if it finds that the Project to be provided throughout the terms of the Lease will serve the public purpose of the Township and is in the best interests of its residents.

Dated this 28th day of January, 2021. Don Hodson, Township Trustee

NOTICE OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF THE TOWNSHIP BOARD OF WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP OF HENDRICKS COUNTY, INDIANA TO ENTER INTO A PROPOSED LEASE OR LEASES WITH THE WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP OF HENDRICKS COUNTY BUILDING CORPORATION

Owners of real property in Washington Township of Hendricks County, Indiana (the “Township”), are hereby given notice that the Township Board (the “Board”) has preliminarily determined, at its meeting held on January 26, 2021, that a need exists for the acquisition, design, construction and equipping of a new park and recreation facility in the Township which will include: (i) an Aquatics Facility (including activity pool, slide tower, wave pool, etc.), (ii) an Administrative, Concessions and Bathhouse Facility, and (iii) any associated infrastructure, utilities, parking and projects and improvements related thereto, to be located on approximately 29 acres currently owned by the Township and located off of County Road 625 E between County Road 100 S and US 36 in the Township (collectively the “Project”). The Board further preliminarily determined at such meeting that, to the extent permitted by law, the Township will take all necessary steps to finance all or any portion of the costs of the Project by entering into a proposed lease or leases between the Washington Township of Hendricks County Building Corporation (the “Building Corporation”) as Lessor, and the Township as Lessee (the “Lease”). The Building Corporation will finance the costs of the Project, together with the financing costs associated therewith, through the issuance of bonds by the Building Corporation secured by and payable from lease payments under the Lease (the “Bonds”).

The Township’s lease payments under the proposed Lease will be payable from ad valorem property taxes levied and collected on all taxable property within the geographical boundaries of the Township. The proposed Lease will have a term no longer than seventeen (17) years, commencing on the date of issuance of the Bonds. Including interest costs, the maximum annual lease rental to be paid by the Township under the proposed lease is $1,350,000 and the maximum lease rental over the term of the Lease is $22,950,000. The estimated interest rate that will be paid on the Bonds is 2.25% and the total estimated interest cost for the life of the Bonds is $3,238,807.

The Township’s current total of debt service levies for 2021 is $861,442 and its current debt service rate is $0.0300 per $100 of assessed valuation. The estimated amount of the Township’s debt service levy and rate that will result during the following ten (10) years if the Township enters into the Lease (considering any changes that may occur to the debt service levy and rate during that same period on account of any outstanding bonds or lease obligations that mature or terminate during said ten (10) year period, including a Fire Station Lease payment commencing in 2022) is as follows:

Year

Estimated Debt Service Levy (assuming the Township enters into the Lease)*

Knowledge Is Power

Estimated Debt Service Rate (assuming the Township enters into the Lease)*

2022 $2,531,722 $0.0832

2023 2,533,383 0.08322024 2,530,497 0.08312025 2,534,476 0.08332026 2,369,458 0.07792027 1,949,004 0.06402028 1,685,575 0.05542029 1,684,620 0.05542030 1,687,485 0.05542031 1,684,620 0.0554* Estimated tax levy and rate take into account excise tax to be received.

If the Township enters into the Lease, the estimated increase to the Township’s debt service levy over the debt service levy that would have been in place had the Lease not been entered into will be $1,289,250 and the estimated increase to the Township’s debt service rate over the debt service rate that would have been in place had the Lease not been entered into (taking into account excise tax to be received) will be $0.0424 per $100 of assessed valuation. The percent of the Township’s current annual debt service payments compared to the net assessed value of taxable property within the Township is approximately 0.0290% and the percent of the Township’s projected annual debt service payments if the Township enters into the Lease compared to the net assessed value of taxable property within the Township (including the Fire Station Lease payment commencing in 2022) is approximately 0.0871% which is 0.0444% above what the percent would have been had the Township not entered into the Lease. The current percent of the Township’s outstanding long term debt without the Lease, together with the outstanding long term debt of other taxing units that include any of the territory of the Township, compared to the net assessed value of taxable property within the Township is approximately 14.1129% which will increase to 14.6648% if the Township enters into the Lease.

Owners of property within the Township or registered voters residing in the Township who want to initiate a petition and remonstrance process against the proposed lease must file a petition that complies with Ind. Code §6-1.1-20-3.1(b)(4) and (5) no later than thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice in the manner provided by Ind. Code §6-1.1-20- 3.1.
