Help With Addictions Hendricks County and the Drug Epidemic

Kim Humphrey of Parents of Additcted Loved Ones (PAL)speaks at a recent conference prior to the pandemic.

(Part 2 of a 3-part series)

By Melissa Gibson

The drug epidemic is still raging in Hendricks County and across the country. Statistics show the pandemic has only hindered access to resources, group treatment, probation drug testing and more. Those that were on a path to sober living are finding it difficult to remain there as so many Americans are suffering from job loss, quarantine and other high-stress situations.

While the person addicted to opioids and other drugs is directly responsible for making a change in their life, in many ways, the entire family is inflicted with the disease.

That’s where Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL) comes in, as a national resource for the loved ones of a person suffering from addiction.

“This is now touching everyone’s lives – it’s so prevalent, everyone knows someone dealing with addiction. It’s affecting our communities, our criminal justice system and becoming more and more obvious it’s something we all need to focus on,” said Kim Humphrey, Executive Director of PAL. Humphrey served at the Phoenix Police Department for 32 years and spent days and nights often dealing with drug related activity. Ironically, his two sons both ended up addicted to drugs – something he would have bet would never have happened.

“This isn’t just someone living on the streets, it affects everyone. Drugs is a non-discriminator – it doesn’t care about money, background, socioeconomics. So, we’re starting to see it as an illness and a disease. Even if you don’t believe it’s a disease, you have to treat it like one, that’s how you resolve the issue,” he said.

“My son took Percocet due to a sports injury when he was 15. When I take Percocet, I don’t feel right – I don’t like it. When my son takes it, his first reaction is ‘this makes me feel like a million bucks’. It’s a physiological reaction, that’s exactly the opposite of mine, but leaves him feeling like ‘I have to have more of this. I can’t not have this,’” Humphrey said.

Scholarship For Seniors From Master Gardeners

Hendricks County Master Gardeners are offering a $1,500 scholarship to a Hendricks County high school graduating senior, pursuing an education in an agricultural field of study.

Questions: contact Extensions office at 317-7459260 for 2021 Scholarship Eligibility Criteria and scholarship forms.

Application deadline is June 8th.

The applicant requested a zoning amendment, changing the site of the old Clermont golf course from agricultural to a PUD. The proposed project at 4705 N. County Road 1000 East, Brownsburg includes 80 acres and would feature single-family detached homes, flats and townhomes, a private K-12 school, a community center with multiple use: prayer rooms, classrooms, gymnasium and more, a dormitory for older students whose studies focus on the Koran.

Since 2018, the AlHussnain Seminary in Marion County has housed college students from across the country on their current property. As they’ve outgrown their current site, they plan to move the school and dormitory to the new facilities, housing up to 200 students per year.

The walkable community system allows residents and students to utilize the sidewalks, anticipating a minimal increase in traffic around Brownsburg. Also planned are a swimming pool, fishing ponds and other outdoor amenities for those residing on the property.

Home values will vary between $180,000 and $500,000 with plans for 149 single family homes and 85 townhomes, each with a garage.

Animal Tales Goes Virtual

Normally Hendricks County Parks naturalists come to local libraries each month to share a story about a native animal for preschool through upper elementary age children. However, with the ever- changing circumstances involving the COVID-19 pandemic, Animal Tales may become Virtual Animal Tales on any given month. These resources are available at any time, since this is not a live program.

Check Hendricks County Parks & Recreation’s Facebook page as the first full week of the month approaches for a Facebook event regarding this month’s Virtual Animal Tales program. In the Discussion tab of the Event, you will find a variety of resources relating to this month’s story.

In January, the book, Stranger in the Woods by Carl R. Sams II and Jean Stoick will be featured. This book is available at many local libraries, and some even have this available in a digital format. ___________

The Republican

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.

... And Nothing But The Truth To the Editor: Truth once was immutable. No more.

Today, it’s downright political.

“Truth is too simple for us,” The Republican observed in October 1881. “We do not like those who unmask our illusions.”

There was scant truth to patent medicine claims back then, but quack advertis- e r s steadily plied early newspapers.

Dr. Pierce claimed vindication when naysayers rejected the “truth” of his “Favorite Prescription” for women’s complaints. It’s said the concoction contained goodly amounts of alcohol and opium.

“Any truth, faithfully faced, is strength in itself,” the paper said. Sounds reasonable. “A truth that one does not understand becomes an error.” I’ll buy that.

“Should we condemn ourselves to ignorance to preserve hope?” I say no.

“Truth is violated by falsehood,” opined The Republican, “and it may be equally outraged by silence.” Have any of us kept silent for too long?

“A lie will gallop through every street in the city before Truth has saddled his horse.” Our forebears witnessed this; we see it now. We do nothing. We latibulate.

“Make few promises.” Including politicians? “Always speak the truth and nothing but the truth.” Else, Perry Mason will ferret you out. But today? Can truth even be recognized or accepted when alternative facts are found more palatable?

“People love truth,” quoth The Republican (a Russian proverb), “but invite the lie to dinner.”

Then came one from China: “To correct an evil that already exists is not so wise as to foresee and prevent it.”

The Republican never failed to afford readers gleaned life advice. “Falsity may be wreathed in smiles and clothed in rich attire, while truth is hidden in humble forms and seeks no loud parade.

“Falsehood may triumph for a moment, but truth lives on forever.” I wish that was true, but the vilest belief quelled in the mid-last century now sees a resurgence.

“Truth and error have each their altars where gifts are hung and prayers are offered. The flow of years rings out the false, rings in the true.”

I’m all for “enthusiasm . . . the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it.”

Kidney-Wort had “nothing to fear from truth,” readers learned in August 1882. The maker argued, “Every truth has two sides; look at both before committing yourself to either.”

Citizens plagued by constipation and kidney and liver disorders had no choice but to buy Kidney-Wort.

Pecksburg correspondent Ben E. Factor weighed in with “Truth recommends itself by its inherent strength, even to those who never use the article.”

Much can be revealed about character from observing a person’s gait, according to The Republican. A man who turns his left foot in is “a natural petty larcenist” and of a “kleptomaniac nature.”

The more dangerous man lifts his leg up from the thigh as if climbing stairs. “That man is a natural and an educated villain.”

But “an honest man . . . never walks like a thief.”

Short nervous steps reflected an energetic businessman, but steps from the knee only denoted a fellow who was “cold and selfish, caring for no one but himself.”

Readers in October 1884 may have watched each other, perhaps furtively, to determine what kind of characters their neighbors were. I wonder how often they walked into passersby, or stepped on fresh road apples.

The chap “whose stride is long and at the same time energetic” was “generally bright, always erratic and ill-balanced, often conceited, always careless, fond of admiration, generally willing to sacrifice much for praise and éclat, and, while often a good fellow, generally unreliable.”

The 1914 county history declared chronicled farmers and businessmen were all upright, each almost a saint. It overlooked knaves and scoundrels. Ours would be a sanitized history without The Republican and other early papers.

It was said of Harvard-schooled lawyer and Danville native James M. Ogden that “the poetical truth concerning the tempering of justice with mercy finds a willing follower in him . . .”

His father, Jesse, died when James was seven. Knowing his time was short, Jesse left his three children guidance that included, “Above all things be truthful. And if you are truthful, then you will be honest – these two constitute the cardinal virtues of a good life.”

DARRELL RICHARD “Dick” CLEARWATER, 97, beloved husband of Gwendolene (Shoulders) Clearwater of Plainfield went home to be with his Lord and Savior on January 16, 2021. Born on January 7, 1924 in Indianapolis, Indiana, he was the son of the late Darrell and Martha (Ledig) Clearwater. He grew up in Indianapolis and graduated from Shortridge High School in 1940 at the age of 16. He then began his college studies at Purdue University. Before finishing college, he joined the Army Air Corp/Air Force and served in the South Pacific during WWII. He was a member of the 3rd Photo Reconnaissance Squadron and was part of that historic day over Nagasaki, Japan in 1943.

After the war, he completed his college career earning a degree in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University where he finished with Honors. He began a career at American Art and Clay in Speedway, Indiana where he met the love of his life, a young, hard-working girl named, Gwendolene. They married shortly thereafter, on his birthday, January 7, 1950. Their military family life began with multiple moves throughout the world. While in the Air Force Reserves, he was recalled to Active Duty for the Korean Conflict. Later, many of their travels brought them from Georgia to Texas, Germany, California, Greenland, and New York. While in Newburgh, New York, he completed his Master’s Degree from Syracuse University. During their years of travel, he made sure his children had outdoor memories that he documented and preserved for enjoying slideshows.

He remained in the Air Force throughout the Vietnam War, then completed his 26-year military career, completing his last assignment as Lt. Colonel serving at the Pentagon. After retiring, Dick taught Business courses at the local college as well as served in the local county government while running a successful business.

He and Gwen then relocated back to their home state of Indiana.

He began to teach part-time at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He also taught Sunday school at Plainfield Baptist Church for over 30 years, just retiring a year ago. He was a dedicated teacher and loved to study. He also enjoyed watching football, the Miami Dolphins as well as anyone else who graduated from Purdue University. He was a wonderful cook and grill master, owning over 5 different types of grill. He even compiled and bound his own cookbook so he could give his children and grandchildren his favorite recipes, a wonderful treasure! He had a mischievous sense of humor and even nicknamed many of his grandchildren with special names.

His love for animals and birds was evident as he had several dogs during his lifetime as well as cats. The birds on Claren Drive never went hungry. He was an avid reader and would sometimes finish a book in a day. He loved the Biblical teachings of Dr. David Jeremiah and the music of the Bill Gaither Trio and any patriotic songs.

He was a generous supporter of many Christian ministries. In his later years, he enjoyed weekly grocery trips to Meijer with Gwen as well as putting in their yearly vegetable garden.

In addition to his wife of 71 years, Dick is survived by his daughter Debbie Smith and husband, Greg, daughter Pam Dodson and husband, John, son Rick Clearwater and wife, Debbie, son Dave Clearwater and wife, Patti, 12 Grandchildren and 18 Great-Grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to: Gulfside Hospice, 6117 Trouble Creek Rd. New Port Richey, FL 34653 or Disabled American Veterans Funeral services will be held on Saturday January 23, 2021 at 12 noon in Hall-Baker Funeral Home, Plainfield with Pastor Jared Skinner officiating.

Please visit www.bakerfuneralservice.com to the Clearwater Family a condolence. ___________________________________________________

JOHN W. LEWIS, 88, of Plainfield, passed away on January 18, 2021. He was born on December 12, 1932 in Indianapolis to the late Edward and Lillian Lewis. John was an United States Army veteran and served in the Korean War. He was a foreman with General Motors for 30 plus years retiring in 1990.

John was a 50 year member of the Plainfield Christian Church.

He enjoyed playing golf, tennis, bowling, fishing and wood working in his free time. John would take the family on 2 to 3 week vacations in his camper. He helped coach his grandchildren in the Plainfield Softball League and was their biggest cheerleader. John loved spending time with his family, especially when he would take them all square dancing. He always said the best thing that ever happened to him besides being a husband and father, was being a big winner on the Price Is Right game show.

John was preceded in death by a brother, Richard Lewis and a grandson, Owen Matthew Deakin.

Funeral services and burial will be private.

Survivors include his loving wife, Marlene Lewis; daughters, Alice Lewis, Karen (Pete) Wethington, Becky (Scott) Markland and Kathy Lewis; brother, Buddy (Susan) Lewis; sisters, Marian Cheshire and Nancy Crawford; 10 grandchildren; 13 great grandchildren.

,

And a BIG thank you to all the parents for the donations to make the bags.

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. ______________________________________________

Harvest Dinners

By Jackie Horn Ever have one of those days when you just need to get out? Cabin Fever, stress, boredom or just the “Drearies” drive you outdoors for a walk? Where do you go?

I recently experienced the need for some fresh air therapy. It had been wet and I didn’t want to deal with mud and boots, just a nice, little stroll. Off I went to Hummel Park in Plainfield.

With over 205 acres and 4 miles of paved trails to walk, Hummel Park is a favorite place for walking (with and without 4-legged friends), jogging, biking, and skateboarding.

On this chilly, overcast day, John and I parked at the back of the main lot near the woods. We hopped on the trail and crossed the bridge over White Lick Creek. The trail forks on the other side. We had hoped to walk on the Blue Heron Trail, which meanders along the creek, through the woods, past several picnic shelters and playgrounds, and beside small lakes before ending 1-1/8 miles later at Blue Heron Lake. Unfortunately this section of the trail was closed.

(According to the Hummel Park website and Derek Clay (Guilford Township Park Administrator) the trail is undergoing some trail maintenance and the lakes are being dredged, all which should be completed shortly.) With the Blue Heron Lake trail off limits, we turned right onto Cottonwood Trail. The path wound around through the woods alongside the creek and behind the amphitheater and looped back to the beginning.

Not fully satisfied with the short walk, we continued to walk completely around the parking lot on the paved track with marks every 1/10 mile. One mile later we were back at our car. Not very exciting, but it did the trick. It “blew the stink off” as my mom used to say when she kicked my sister and me outside to play.

The walking paths aren’t the only draw to Hummel Park.

There’s plenty to do in every season.

Like to drown worms? The Indiana Department of Natural Resources stocks the Blue Heron Lake with small mouth bass and catfish. An Indiana fishing license is required for anyone over 16 years old. Convenient parking is available in a large lot located on East CR600/Hadley Road if you don’t want to hike the mile with your gear and catch.

It may be a bit cold right now for the kiddos to climb and explore one of the 5+ playgrounds or enjoy lunch in one of the 8 picnic shelters, but the park’s two full basketball courts and a 9-hole Frisbee golf course are open year round. A baseball diamond and three softball diamonds, and two sand volleyball courts are also available for public use.

The Hummel Park Performing Arts Center summer concert series kicks off in May and continues with a once a month concert through September. The highlight is the 4th of July symphony concert and fireworks provided by Guilford Township and the Town of Plainfield. I’m told last year between 18,000 and 20,000 people viewed the aerial spectacle from the park.

And right now? I’m hoping for snow! I’m told there’s a reclaimed firing range located on the west side of the park, near the Charleston Pavilion, that’s been turned into a sledding hill. I can’t wait to try it out!

LET IT SNOW!

Oh, those Harvest Dinners the various churches would give in the fall, usually in October and November on a Saturday from about 4-7. They probably were popular before the 1980’ s but that was when we started going. We still had a newspaper, I think it was either the Guide or the Hendricks County Flyer. We would scan the paper to see what church was having a dinner.

The ones I can remember the most were the Pittsboro Methodist and Christian Churches, Corinth Church, and Fairfield Friends. They had food like you would have at Thanksgiving. Such a variety. None of these store- bought pies, they were all home made with flaky pie crust. I always got my dessert when I got my main course.

I didn’t want to take a chance I would not get the dessert I wanted.

All of those church ladies knew how to cook. Cooking is becoming a lost art. It’s the men who do a lot of the cooking now. We went to St. Malachy but we could become very ecumenical when choosing what Harvest Dinner to go to.

Bicycling Into Old Age

By Lynn Hopper Like many other kids of my era, I didn’t get a bicycle until I was 12, 13 or even older. Our parents weren’t being mean. Because of W.W. II, bikes just weren’t available. Most of us would have settled for a used bike, but those were snapped up early on.

Anyone who had a bike hung on to it.

It was like all the Christmases rolled into one when they finally became available! My first bike was a Rollfast, not a Schwinn.

You took what you could get, and bike snobbery had not yet come into play.

I loved that bike! I rode it everywhere, and klutz though I am, I even learned to do a few tricks, such as putting my feet on the handlebars to coast downhill. I got an uncool basket for the front, and rode with my dog, Spotty, in it.

Then I got a little older and learned to drive. The beloved bicycle found a permanent spot in the shed we called “the playhouse.” It emerged from time to time when my brothers’ growing kids came to visit and I believe once even sustained a head-on crash with a post.

When I got married, we had a car, but as newlyweds could afford only one. My husband worked nights and needed it. I worked in our little town. For extra transportation, Dick retrieved that battered old bike, got a kit from Sears and restored it! The bike became my “car.”

It had a deep basket on the front. I did my grocery shopping in a small local store and bought only what two regular size bags would hold. Then I would steady the bike while the grocer’s son put the bags side by side in the basket and I pedaled home.

Bicycling then was not the universal sport it is now. Kids would yell at me, “Grow up, lady!” and when the town decreed bikes needed licenses I would show up in the park, head and shoulders above all the other “bikers” around me.

But then we got a second car and the Rollfast once again went into obscurity. I don’t think it ever came out again.

The world had done one of those 180 turns and bicycles became ubiquitous. And so did bike snobbery. When our kids were ready for full-size bikes, they wanted Schwinns.

And when they graduated to cars, I took up the Schwinns.

Until my arthritis became too painful, I rode Annie’s Schwinn all up and down the country roads around our house, and then I switched to walking on those roads.

I can’t get around without a walker of some kind now, but for therapy they have put me on something called a Nustep.

It’s just like—a bicycle! They won’t let me put my feet on the handlebars, though. ______________________________________________

New Element Discovered: Traffic (Tr)

But Scientists Claim “No Room” on Periodic Table Why does this not surprise me? Granted, the recently discovered element, Traffic (Tr), has nothing to do with traffic, but one look at the periodic table and I think I see a few places where it could fit. But instead, it’s referred to as an element of confusion. So why is “traffic” often considered confusing, bothersome, distasteful, or unwelcome? Or is it?

Or is it not? Or, better yet, where was I headed with all this?

Anyway...

Traffic is something we take for granted. We need traffic — we are communal creatures! For example, imagine driving down an isolated road at night with no other cars in sight. That’s right, zero traffic. You’re all alone — woods all around. And then, through the darkness, you see something that looks like a large cat — something the size of a small horse. And as you look, it turns towards you and has a human face. You could possibly drive off the road! So be thankful for the traffic that surrounds you and protects you (and by the way, what was that thing?).

And as traffic patterns settle down (i.e., the new normal), it confirms what traffic engineers have always known: “Where you have a lot of cars, you have a lot of traffic.” That’s why when we evaluate proposed developments we pay a lot of attention to historical traffic volumes in the surrounding area.

We also analyze historical patterns in the area. The patterns provide clues on how new traffic will access the proposed development. And this my friend, tells us some other stuff that I can’t remember right now off the top of my head. But, right after all that, we review existing developments of the same size and type. And this gives us confidence in projecting how much traffic new developments actually add to the surrounding roadways. We then cross-reference this information with the Periodic Table to determine where we need to add turn lanes, roundabouts, signals, or adjust speed limits. Note: we maintain our own version of the Periodic Table. ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

By Archy While I enjoy our telepathic communications, and appreciate Archy’s ability to think in human language, I was curious if it would be possible for me to learn the rudiments of squirrel and asked if he could recommend a book on the subject.

“Like many native tribes, the squirrels’ spoken language has never been adapted to writing,” he explained. “It would be quite difficult. Our chirps and chatter might be converted to an alphabet, but it would be hard to convey the modulation that gives them different meanings.”

“Like Mandarin?” I asked.

“Precisely,” the squirrel said. “The same sound can have different meanings depending on the intonation. And then there’s our unspoken language. We convey many emotions through the movement of our tails.”

I had noticed Archy’s tail signals. When his temper would raise, so would his tail. The higher his ire, the more the tail would whip back and forth. When he was in a good mood, his tail fluffed up and took on a cloud-like appearance.

“Not to mention our profanity,” he added. “Quite colorful, but definitely a scathingly descriptive combination of words and gestures.”

I tried not to picture what that might sound and look like.

“Still,” I said out loud, “I thought getting a basic understanding of squirrel language might be helpful to humans.”

“Humans can be a bit self-centered and thin-skinned,” Archy said. “It would play havoc with their egos to know what animals really think of them. When people perceive us as cute little creatures, we can have more influence onthem.”

I asked Archy what he meant about having influence on humans.

“Do you have to ask?” he replied.

“I know you’ve been a positive influence on me,” I said. “Do other squirrels communicate with humans?”

“The more plebeian of my species lack the curiosity to attempt to communicate with humans,” he said. “A few of the more discerning squirrels have made attempts, but they usually quit in frustration. And sadly, few humans have the mental dexterity it takes for us to attempt telepathy.”

The squirrel and I sat silent for a while. I considered how fortunate I was to have Archy as a friend.

“Agreed,” he said and his tail took on a cloud-like appearance.

Give Parsley A Chance in Your Garden

By Colletta Kosiba

Page 7

Letters From The Past

Hendricks County Master Gardener

Parsley plants can play host to caterpillar that becomes a swallowtail butterfly.

Curley parsley is a familiar garnish for our food, but it’s not the only talent of this tasty green plant.

You are served a big breakfast or a steak dinner, your month is watering it looks so tasty….but what is that piece of greenstuff doing on your plate? Most of us ignore it, tossing it to the side.

The greenstuff is curly parsley “a garnish” (a decoration - usually an herb - to make food eye-appealing).

Eat it? Of course, you can.

Parsley has a hearty flavor that is delicious raw in salads, or cooked in dishes likes quiche and soup.

Be adventurous this year - try growing parsley in the garden! Parsley is easy to grow in sun or part shade. The plants make a great border and give a beautiful contrast to yellow pansies or pink petunias.

Curled parsley has a ruffled appearance. Flat-leaf parsley (Italian parsley) has flat, bright, green leaves that look like a celery stalk.

Flat is used most in cooking-added at the last minute FLAT LEAF PARSLEY to cooked foods.

Go ahead -Just buy some parsley plants, plant, mulch, keep watered and fertilize every 3 weeks. You will love how it compliments your annual flowers. Plus an added attraction - Parsley is a host plant for the swallowtail butterfly, who may lay eggs on the plant. How interesting to see mother nature in action: as you watch the caterpillar eat some of plant and finally fly off as swallowtail butterfly.

To use parsley in kitchen - harvest by cutting the outside leafy stems at the base of the plant—cut only one-third of the plant at a single time. It will grow back bushier.

Placed in refrigerator, parsley stays fresh wrapped in a wet paper towel or with stems upright in water up to two weeks.

To freeze parsley: chopped & stored in freezer bags, or mixed with water and freeze in ice cube trays; will keep 6 months. You may dry it for later. Remember the correct ratio for herb cooking is: one tablespoon of fresh herb to one teaspoon of dried herb.

The early immigrants brought parsley to the Americas to use as a cooking herb. The parsley’s leaf, seed, and root are used in medicine.

Parsley is good for us!! It is high in vitamins A, C, and K,; contains antioxidants. Parsley will sweeten your breath.

Plant some parsley in the garden for the colorful green foliage this year! I dare you to try in the kitchen too!

If a parsley farmer is sued. . .could they garnish his wages?

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.

My brother Milo died last week. I don’t know why, but humans don’t believe we dogs know about death. We do. We realize that when another dog dies, he will not return, and we mourn, just not in the same way humans do.

It is hard to watch a brother sicken. And it is hard to watch him die. But, it is easy to accept his death when you know how bad he felt at the end. He isn’t hurting any longer.

I know we will be hurting for a little while. My buddy Charlie watched his human die. He told me all about it when he came to live with us. He says he can still catch a little of her scent on things that belonged to her and it makes him smile inside. It made him sad at first, but that changes, he says. He is older and wiser than I am, and he helps me understand things a little better. So we just go on with life.

Especially when you have someone new to share life with. I have a new brother, B.J., and a new sister, Lacey.

And it’s always exciting when someone new joins the pack.

That’s when it’s great to be the older brother. You can show the new pups the ropes, how things work, how the humans can be trained to do what you want.

B.J. is just a big puppy, only about a year old and full of energy. He is never still and everything he sees is a new adventure for him. He looks very much like a Louisiana Catahoula leopard dog, which is a new one to me. I’m just repeating what I heard my humans say. He just looks like a spotted bird dog to me. He especially likes to chew on his food bowl. Dozens of kongs and plastic bones and other toys around, and he likes to chew on his food bowl best.

Kids today. Woof!

Lacey is about five, so she’s no spring chicken, but she’s still a cutie. She’s little, but not tiny. Kind of long with bow legs, although on her they look okay. And she’s already working on being the boss. She is very possessive of her things and everyone else’s, too. She guards those kongs like they were all hers, and to her, they are. That may be why B.J. just chews on his bowl. Now that I think about it, she’s bossy, selfish, feisty, and thinks she’s queen. But she’s still cute as anything.

I once heard a couple of children outside our fence singing a song about the circle of life. And that song got it right.

Life is a circle. There is really no beginning point and, as far as I can tell, no end point either. It changes, but it keeps going. That’s great, isn’t it?

SUDOKU SOLUTION

Edward J. Weesner earned the nickname “Pug” while attending school Clayton because of his reputation as a pugalist (boxer). He was attending Indiana University when he heard the call and”joined up” on April 12,1917 and was assigned to the 150th Field Artillery, 42nd Division, which became known as the Rainbow Division. In his 21 months overseas with his brother, Rollis, who also Edward J. Weesner (standing) enlisted,andhis father, who and his brother, Rollis. worked with the YMCA. He ________________________ received his honorable discharge on July 22, 1919.

From a family of printers, he learned to operate the Linotype and joined the staff of The Republican in 1922. He became editor and publisher in 1931 and continued his newspaper career until retiring in 1972.

Among the treasures in The Republican office are letters written by Pug to his family back in Danville. Over the next seveal weeks, we will be sharing Pug’s adventures with our readers.

Camp Mills, Long Island, New York City Saturday, October 6, 1917 Dear Sister, We received your candy before your letter and was sure glad to get it. It was the best batch I think that you ever made.

From what I read in the papers the draft boys are having a pretty tough time of it. Well, I have never suffered from the lack of clothing yet and we think that something is seriously wrong that the engineers from home have bed bugs. You can imagine how long they would last in their regiments.

As to our comfort, I will try to numerate our equipment to you and every man is equipped this way: Two hats, two shirts, three suits, heavy woolen underwear, two woolen blouses & pants, leggings, two pair shoes, overcoat, raincoat, gloves, three blankets, shelter half poles, mess kit, bacon can, pistol belt, first aid, jacket, canteen, ditty bag. Oh, if there is anything we haven’t got I don’t know what it is.

So, you can see we are glad we are not in the drafted bunch and nobody faints, moans or sighs around here because we are going, it’s our duty. Outside of a few peeved spells caused be getting balled out by an officer, everyone is happy and eager to get started and I think that that time is close.

We have stringent orders against telling dates of sailing, ships, ports, etc, so I will have to be mum about a rumor that is strong about camp because all indications are that it is true. Yesterday we were inspected by brigade officials in our quarters and today in the field. On yesterdays inspection such questions as “Do you sleep warm?” “Do you have plenty to eat?” etc. Last Wednesday we were examined for nervousness and I wish you could have heard the questions and answers one doctor asked young Brinklow if there was any insanity in his family and he answered laughingly “Only some, for joining the army.”

Wed. night we were entertained by the lt. q Co. and we sure had some eats and a fine entertainment a funny thing happened. An Iowa doughboy popped up and challenged any 165 lb man to a two round bout and a B of E man of our regiments took it and a rumor went all over the Indiana bunch “He’s Jack Dillon’s trainer.” Well, the first round was pretty fair but on the second I think there was only about two licks struck. The Indiana man hit the Iowa man and the Iowa man hit the floor.

Last night we entertained the HQ of Illinois, Minnesota and Brigade HQ. Besides big rats, we had a vaudeville team from New York that was fine. When you think that we don’t have a good time you are mistaken. Our work is hard but our pleasures are real stuff. Hardly a night passes but that there are N. Y. entertainers somewhere in camp.

Now I fully believe that our stay in this camp very limited, but don’t worry about us for all our equipment is new and our officers make us keep it clean. From what I get from the newspapers, the ones to pity are those poor devils at Louisville. Just think of having to teach them to read and write before they can make soldiers out of them. You can imagine how long Col Tyndal would tolerate such and I am sure that I would hate to be infantry with an artillery of such men behind me. I would be afraid they would shoot me in the _ _ _!

Tell Papa that we got the Indianapolis papers before they have been carried around in his pocket six days. Just let Lovett’s have, they will get over it, maybe. I got a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Corbely, that isn’t spelled right but you know who I mean.

Well this may be my last letter to you from this camp but remember that we are in good health, well equipped, good officers and the majority of the three regiments that is the brigade are college men. I am going to try to get a flag with two stars for you to fly on the car, but have loaned out my $20 and haven’t been paid this m month yet. So if I am unable to get one, I wish you would. I suppose you know the design.

Well if you don’t get another letter from me within a week you can think of how I am leaning over the rail feeding the fish.

So Long

Edward. _____________________________________________

Clermont Village Project Gets Favorable Vote

Continued From Page 1

The Planning Process

In 1951, the County Commis- sioners established the Planning Commission as part of the process in the Hendricks County Planning and Building Department.

Its members are appointed and work closely with the staff of the Planning Department.

In 1995 the Planning Commission was reorganized and re-named. The Hendricks County Area Plan Commission. The jurisdiction includes the unincorporated county and the towns of Amo, North Salem, Coatesville, and Stilesville. _____

The plans for Clermont Village would feature a private K-12 school, a community center with multiple use: prayer rooms, classrooms, gymnasium and more, a dormitory for older students whose studies focus on the Koran, and single-family detached homes, flats and townhomes. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Representative for the property, Elizabeth Link listed the uses for the vacant land based on Hendricks County’s Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan calls for suburban residential use of moderate density or institutional use such as churches and educational facilities. Utility services are required among others and the petitioner met each requirement as explained by Link.

Prior to the meeting, the Area Plan Commission received hundreds of individual letters as well as petitions by hundreds of individuals, both for and against the proposal. There were over 150 people watching the meeting via livestream throughout the evening and more than 60 people arrived to speak during the public hearing.

Despite being told at the beginning of the meeting, religion and drainage were not topics up for discussion as the board contemplated their decision, religion and drainage seemed to be among the top issues the public wanted to address.

Those opposed to the proposal were mainly concerned with drainage in the area. Many neighbors currently have issues with flooding to their property and are concerned with a new development in the neighborhood, the flooding problems will only increase.

“I want to assure the public that engineers have evaluated the property and we are confident we can comply with the county’s stringent requirements. We’re aware there have been drainage issues and we will not impact anyone to our south. The property is not in a floodway or flood zone,” Link said.

Traffic was another cause for concern. Welcoming more traffic to an already stressed infrastructure had many feeling their commutes would be delayed and, in some areas, even dangerous.

With no significant traffic on the weekends, Link explained the neighborhood’s peak of traffic time would come Friday afternoons versus weekend and evening. However, the petitioner was willing to provide an intersection light at C.R. 1000 and C.R. 600 at their expense.

Public comments received by the Area Plan Commission, some in writing and others spoken during the meeting, were overwhelmingly positive, though some remonstrators spoke regarding their concerns and disapproval of the proposal.

Steve Dyson said he was concerned about property value. “My family has owned property there since 1961. The people I know are not happy at all about it. We have a high amount of traffic… I know we’re not supposed to talk about drainage, but the drainage goes right across my property. I’d like to see it remain [agricultural] because I don’t think we need any more density there.”

Another remonstrator stated, “The project will be in my backyard. Are we allowed to go in and swim in the pool? Is it private? How does this benefit the neighborhood if we can’t intermingle and interact? It’s a nice sales pitch, but they’re not sharing it with anyone in [surrounding] neighborhoods.

No one benefits but them.”

Many letters spoke out about religious bigotry in the county and support of the proposal.

Dr. Rev. Joel Tishken of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Hendricks County in Danville wrote, “We are alarmed by some of the public rhetoric regarding the application. Some of those remarks are nothing short of hateful and ignorant expression of Islamophobia. Others appear to be camouflaged manifestations of Islamophobia seemingly expressed as concerns about zoning. We condemn these kinds of intolerant remarks. Religion has no relevance in matters of zoning.”

Others disagreed, addressing religion as an important relevance to the project– particularly for those in favor. Many

The proposed site for Clermont Villiage is located between Ronald Reagn Parkway and Interstate 74. Traffic can be seen in this view taken at the property. ___________________________________________________

Muslim community members spoke about their struggles to attend prayer and educational studies, since the closest facility leaves them driving for 30 minutes or more. Residents of Clermont Village would enjoy walking to and from their educational and religious institutions Like some of the other public and private schools in the county, the Muslim community could enjoy walking to and from their educational and religious institutions.

Children attending Brownsburg schools spoke in favor of the proposal and many physicians (several working in the county at Hendricks Regional Health), IT professionals and young families with children expressed interest in a development in Hendricks County supporting the Muslim community.

“I saw the proposed plan and drove out to the site of Clermont Village, said Brenda Sutton, of Danville. “Personally, I’d love to live there. The foundation of my support is that I want the same thing for my Islamic friends that I want for myself, more walking and less driving. [The proposal] would bring good, responsible, hard-working people to the county, increase our diversity and make great use of this land.”

Brownsburg resident Cindy Holman said, “Some of the comments I’ve heard regarding this are disgusting. I took a ride over there the other day and this will do nothing but enhance that area. The [present]homes were built in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s and this development can only upgrade. I think it’s great that a group of people would want to build a community of like-minded people.”

The Area Plan Commission board discussed each issue at length, ultimately voting to make a favorable recommendation to the County Commissioners for approval.

The petitioner will now present their plan to the Hendricks County Commissioners at the end of the month. The Commissioners will have three options: 1) To approve the petition for rezoning; 2) to deny the petition; 3) to send the petition back to the Planing Department for further discussions.

Garden Club Hosts Virtual Event on Plant Nutrition The Hendricks County Garden Club cordially invites you to Fertilizing Your Garden and Houseplants the Right Way, a free virtual event on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm (Eastern) Just like people, plants need the proper nutrition to grow and thrive.

A couple of weeks ago the Hendricks County Area Plan Commission heard a petition to rezone the former Clermont Golf Course property to a religious-oriented PUD community. After several weeks of working with the developer to come up with a good plan for the property, the County planning staff, prior to the meeting, felt that the rezoning should be turned down.

During the meeting however, the petitioner made it clear they would work diligently with staff to solve the concerns raised in the staff letter and by the end of the meeting the Plan Commission voted to send the rezoning request to the County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation to approve.

What are the concerns of the staff? Before we get to that, let us look at the zoning request. Why PUD? The Planned Unit Development option is available to communities as a planning tool for projects that do not fit nicely into just one zoning district. If a development is all single-family homes with similar size lots you would not need to use the PUD option.

In the case of the 80 acre Clermont Village, there are 3 distinctly different uses integrated into a cohesive community. The PUD is the only practical zoning option.

The planning staff was agreeable with using the PUD, so why did they recommend denial? Some have wrongly accused staff of coming up with reasons to deny due to the Islamic centric nature of the project.

This situation puts staff, plan commission and the County commissioners in an interesting position. If any of these entities votes to deny the project for legitimate planning reasons, they may be accused of not wanting our County to be an inclusive community.

What are the reasons that staff gave for recommending denial? The full staff letter can be read on the County’s plan commission website.

You can read the staff’s summary of concerns below: Staff Concerns for Clermont Village PUD (Taken directly from the Staff Comments dated 1.12.2021) Concerns 1. Staff does not feel like the project has enough open space or common areas. Based on similar uses and zones our Ordinance would require about 8 acres. This would not include buffer yards, anything less than 50’ in width and no more than 8.75% of the open space can be covered by water defined as the high water elevation including detention and retention areas.

2. The applicant has stated in their PUD Ordinance that they plan to meet all the County’s architecture design guidelines for residential and non-residential. However, staff has not been provided any elevations or examples.

Any deviation from this at a later date would require an Amendment to the PUD which would necessitate a public hearing with the Planning Commission and approval from the County Commissioners.

3. The maximum impervious area at 80% seems high (per lot or parcel). Also we would like to know the maximum structure coverage.

4. For new developments at this scale, it has been Planning Commission’s opinion most of the time to go through the Town’s processes when the town limits are adjacent to the subject property. Especially, if they have a more updated Comprehensive Plan than the County’s.

5. The ordinance has the potential to be unclear and hard to regulate, but it’s not apparent at this stage due to the nature of a PUD approval. _____ For more information, visit co.hendricks.in.us, where you can find links to the Subdivision Control Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, and 2006 Comprehensive Plan.

Help With Addictions

(Continued from Page 1)

Diane and Dottie at the annual Indiana PAL golf fundraiser. Pictured: Diane Buxton, Dottie Grubb, Kathie Clemens, Bobby Gagliardi. Seated: Darlene West – Heir, Jeanette Krohne, Carolyn Gagliardi-Oden.

Kim Humphrey (second from right) with his wife Michelle, have fought hard to heal themselves and their two sons, Andrew (left) and Sean.

In the beginning, his son was underage. Humphrey and his wife were able to force him into counseling, doctors, inpatient programs and more. He says things just got worse.

What began as a Percocet addiction, eventually led to heroin and methamphetamine.

“This young man grew up in our home and we couldn’t recognize him. He literally ended up on the streets and I don’t mean couch surfing at friends’ homes, I mean my law enforcement friends were calling me because they had made him take down his tent at the park,” Humphrey said.

The couple’s younger son began following in his brother’s footsteps and after nine years of dealing with the in and out of hospitals, outpatient and inpatient treatment facilities and law enforcement run-ins Humphrey and his wife were out of ideas.

“To say we were devastated is an understatement,” Humphrey said. “We thought we must be the worst parents on the planet. We’d tried and we’d begged and nothing worked.

We were getting physically ill because of all of this and we didn’t want to go out or talk to people – it had taken it’s toll.”

Humphrey’s wife happened upon an article online about a Phoenix counselor that had started some meetings in the area. It was all about being able to move forward with your life in a healthy way as the parents of an addicted loved one.

Though Humphrey began attending meetings with his wife, he wasn’t convinced this was going to be helpful.

“As a guy, I wasn’t into this counseling stuff. Talking about feelings didn’t seem like a good idea. What was different about PAL was it was educational as well as talking about feelings. I could go because I could learn something.

My wife was going for support and I was going for the education and eventually I saw the value in all of it,” Humphrey said.

The Humphrey’s are not the only ones.

Dottie Grubb was also dealing with her son Bobby’s 12year addiction to heroin. She began attending a local PAL meeting and says it helped her cope with everything from her son’s addiction to her marriage.

She and her husband didn’t always agree on how to deal with Bobby’s addiction. They both wanted him working and to have transportation, but Dottie’s husband bought their son one car after another until she brought him to a PAL meeting.

“We need to be on the same wavelength,” Grubb said. “I had people telling me Bobby has a roof over his head, three meals a day, transportation. Why would he want to change?

But when we started going to meetings together, we learned the different ways we were enabling him. My husband and I went through night after night of not sleeping. One of the parents at PAL suggested we were living a PTSD lifestyle but now, we’re able to love without enabling.”

Diane Buxton is the Regional Coordinator for PAL and a facilitator at the Avon weekly meeting. She too, had a son addicted to heroin.

“Many of us think, ‘I did some marijuana back in my day. It’s not that big of a deal’ but it’s different today. Drugs are laced with other substances,” Buxton said. “It gets out of control and we as parents want to fix them – we want to save them. But we’re not fighting them, we’re fighting this addiction.”

PAL has helped thousands of parents work through the process – not to fix their loved one, but to heal themselves.

“The promise through PAL is that we learn to take care of ourselves, but I believe if you want to give them the best chance, when part of the family gets healthy, it helps them too,” Humphrey said.

Often, parents are left falling for their son or daughter’s manipulation. Not because they can’t see it, but perhaps because they don’t want to. In an effort to save your addicted loved one, you can love them to death.

“What I love about PAL is you get to make the choice.

Some people make changes right away while others attend meetings for a year before they make any decisions. We are going to love you and support you no matter where you are in the process and we don’t give advice, only suggestions,”

Buxton said.

Learning from each other and knowing there are no guarantees but ultimately healing yourself is the goal.

“It’s tough on parents,” Humphrey said. “But you aren’t responsible for the actions of an adult. We didn’t make decisions overnight. In fact, I sat there in the meeting for six weeks and didn’t say a word. Eventually, I told the facilitator, ‘I want you to tell me how to fix my sons’ and he said ‘I don’t know how to fix your sons, but we can start working on you. You’re trying to do the impossible, you can’t fix another person. But we can talk about healthy and unhealthy’”.

One issue many parents raised is the frustration of finding help for their addicted loved one.

“When we were looking for someplace to help Bobby, I can’t tell you how many hours we spent on the phone,” Grubb said. “Home isn’t a good thing for them, but there was nothing in Hendricks County. It’s a struggle for the parents and the addict. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything out there.”

Her son, Bobby knows first-hand how to search for inpatient and outpatient treatment, and he says, don’t give up.

“Ninety-five percent of the time, they’ll tell you they don’t have bed space. Don’t be discouraged. They might have bed space but want to see a commitment from you. Or maybe they don’t but there’s a revolving door in every halfway house and detox center so if they don’t have space today, they might have it tomorrow. I’ve called the same place every single day until I got a spot,” Bobby said.

Thursday, January 21, 2021

Canine guests get plenty of time for exercise and socializion during their stay. ______________________________________________

Ruff Lyfe owners Blake and Megan Bonifacious (holding baby Marlow) are joined by staff as they get ready to get down to business.

We want to offer a warm welcome to Ruff Lyfe, and its owners, Blake and Megan Bonifacious to Danville.

Ruff Lyfe is located at 56 N. Washington Street in Danville in the former Raders Fabrics building.

The Danville location offers inside dog training for their customers as well as a full-service daily doggie daycare.

Currently, the facility can handle 32 dogs for daily daycare.

Motivated by the poor conditions witnessed at other doggie daycare facilities, Megan and Blake knew they could do it better.

“When you bring your dog to our Danville facility, we come out to your car and greet you with a complimentary warm cup of coffee and bring your dog inside, so you don’t have to leave your car,” explains Megan.

Originally used as a garage and repair shop for a car dealership, Blake added, “And when you come to pick up your pet Ruff Lyfe’s kennel area has plenty of room. we provide you with a report card on how your dog behaved ____________________________________________________ that day.”

Your dog certainly won’t complain about spending their day at Ruff Lyfe. They get to lay on a genuine Kuranda bed.

Kuranda beds are top of the line beds for your pets. They are orthopedic, chew proof and very comfortable.

Stop in to talk with Megan or Blake for a quick tour of the facility and to ask questions about their services. You can also visit their website at www.rufflyfedogtraining.com or find them on Facebook.

We wish Ruff Lyfe good luck and if you are a dog reading this, tell your pawrents you want to go to Ruff Lyfe!

Danville Police Dept. Launches Senior Center Food Pantry 2021 K9 Fundraiser Hendricks County Senior 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."

Services offers a food pantry for Hendricks County seniors, including perishable, nonperishable, and hygiene products.

The food pantry is open by appointment. Please call 317-745-4303 to make an appointment to come to the food pantry.

Hendricks County Senior Services reserves the right to limit the number of visits.

Individuals must be 60 years old or older and a resident of Hendricks County, to use the food pantry. Donations are always needed, accepted and appreciated. ___________

To the Victor’s Fans Belong the Autographs

By David Winters Reeling from five straight losses, the Lady Warriors were itching to get back on the court and end the current skid.

Danville hosted conference foes, North Montgomery, who was 2-10 on the season coming into the game.

This night was supposed to be the return of Senior Chloe Gould who has been out since she suffered a serious knee injury in the summer. Unfortunately, contact tracing rules enforced by the health department after an apparent positive covid test at the high school, prevented Ms. Gould from taking the court this night, and quite possibly cause her to miss the rest of her final regular season. This is a huge disappointment for the team, as well as for Chloe who will start her college career at Parkland College in the fall. We all hope she can get back on the court soon and hope that administrator’s and health departments continue to make adjustments to minimize the impact on our students going forward.

Danville started with laser light focus as they scored the first seven points of the game. Check that: Maddie Patterson scored the first 7 points of the game. Only a single free throw

by Chargers Junior Katie Rice stopped the early run by the Warriors.

Danville would continue their dominance in the first quarter taking a 13-3 lead and prompting a timeout by the Chargers coach. The timeout was of little help as Danville scored the final eight of the quarter and lead 21-3 going into the second.

The Warriors made it quite clear that letting up in this game was not going to happen. They continued to build on the lead and by the end of the third quarter, they were up by a score of 55-16.

There was another significant moment in the third quarter of this game. Danville had yet another player reach a significant career milestone in less than a year. One year ago Ella Collier eclipsed 2,000 points for her career and just a few weeks later, Dillon Ware eclipsed 1,000 points for his career.

Tonight belonged to Senior Maddie Patterson who, on a three-pointer at the 6:30 mark of the third quarter, eclipsed 1,000 points for her career. This accomplishment, along with a dominant performance by the team, was a welcome series of fortunate events that brought some much-needed excitement to the program. Maddie now joins a small club of players.

“It means so much that the countless hours I’ve put in are paying off and to go down as only the fourth girls basketball

player to reach this milestone feels incredibly special,” said Maddie when asked for her thoughts on the night.

Understanding that it takes a team for any individual to succeed is a consistent characteristic of Danville athletes.

“I’m so thankful for everyone who’s helped me become the player that I am and especially my team…because without them, I wouldn’t have been able to get to 1,000 points.”

The game had one more quarter to complete and nothing changed for the Lady Warriors in terms of total control of the tempo and ultimately, the outcome. They would snap their five-game losing streak and win this one going away, 71-32.

Congratulations Maddie on your success and to the team for your dominating win.

Game Notes: Maddie Patterson and Haley Ancelet led the Warriors in scoring with 15 points apiece. Isabelle Wooten added 10 while collecting 8 rebounds. Next up for Danville is a home game on January 18 against Southmont. _____________________________________________

Danville Boys Basketball Win 3 in a Row

Above: Kobe Ward Shooting Free Throw vs. South Vermillion.

By David Winters

You’ve just ended a tie game with seconds left on the clock by hitting a 3-pointer. What do you do next? If you’re Gerald “Cam” Campbell of the Indiana Lyons, you autograph a basketball for a young fan.

The Lyons’ next home game is Sunday, Jan. 24, vs. the Chi-Town Rebels. Doors open at 3, tip-off at 4 p.m., 49 N. Wayne St., Danville.

The Danville Boys Basketball program had a busy weekend playing two games in two days. Trying to build on their dominating win over Cascade, the Warriors hosted the Southmont Mounties on January 15.

It is an understatement to say that this game was not going according to plan right from the start. Danville was a heavy favorite but they started as if they were the underdog just hoping to stay close to have a chance at the end. While that may not have been their mindset, that is exactly how this game played out.

The Warriors were able to play well enough in the first half to take a 20-16 lead into the second quarter and then an eight-point lead to the halftime locker room at 40-32. The third quarter would prove to be the biggest challenge this team has faced since the championship game in the Jefferson County Tournament game against Southwestern. The Mounties controlled every aspect of the game in this quarter outscoring the Warriors 18-10, tying the game at 50 apiece headed into the fourth quarter.

Senior Kobe Ward and Junior Braxton Fulwider would

help ignite the Warriors on the offensive side of the ball scoring a combined 14 points on the way to a 22-10 advantage in the quarter that would secure the game for the home team as they held on to win, 72-60.

Leading the way for Danville was Kobe Ward with 23 points and Braxton Fulwider with a season high 16 points.

Tyler Dostin added 13 points.

Danville would not get much time to rest as they welcomed the South Vermillion Wildcats, who were 2-5 on the season coming into the game, the very next night.

Hoping to avoid the slow start they had the night before, the Warriors had a much better offensive focus in this game.

Danville established the home court advantage very quickly scoring 20 and 23 points in the first and second quarter, respectively, on the way to a 43-20 halftime advantage.

Danville never let up in the second half and won this one going away, 80-49 and winning their third straight game.

Kobe Ward had a career night scoring 32 points and hauling in 24 rebounds.

Next up for the Warriors is a home game against Monrovia on January 19.

SERVING HENDRICKS COUNTY SINCE 1847

Page 14 LEGAL NOTICE OF PLANNED IMPROVEMENT

The purpose of the project is to restore the pavement condition and widen out E. County Road 700 N. to increase the operational efficiency of the road. E. County Road 700 N. is currently very narrow given the amount of traffic that utilizes the corridor. Traffic will continue to increase due to multiple developments along the route and the extension of Ronald Reagan Parkway that will intersect near the west end of the project. Additionally, there are no left turn lanes located along the route which causes traffic to back up when there are left turning vehicles in the through lanes. An additional goal of the project is to meet the goals of local plans to provide ADA compliant pedestrian connectivity.

The project proposes full depth reconstruction and widening of E. County 700 N. from a 2-lane section to a 3- lane section between Access Drive and 500 feet west of N. County Road 900 E. The 3-lane section will include 2 – 12-foot travel lanes and a 12-foot two-way left turn lane. The roadway will be reconstruct- ed with curb and gutter and a closed drainage system. Driveways ad- jacent to the road will be reconstructed with concrete. Intersections and entrances to subdivisions will be improved with increased turning radii and new curb and gutter. The existing culvert at the Mary Gibbs legal drain and the existing field tile pipe will be replaced.

The proj- ect also consists of a 12-foot trail on the south side of E. County Road 700 N. and grading on the north for a future sidewalk. Pedestrians crossings will be updated to American Disability Act (ADA) standards. The CSX railroad crossing near the east end of the project will also be upgraded as a part of this project which will include new gates, flashing lights, overhead cantilever, warning bell, and constant warning time (CWT) circuitry. Grading and reseeding are proposed for areas of disturbance. Permanent lighting is also planned; locations will be refined as the project budget allows.

The project requires approximately 3.42 acres of permanent right-of-way (ROW) from residential, commercial, and agricultural properties. The project also requires approximately 0.80 acres of temporary ROW from residential, commercial, and agricultural properties. The project also requires 0.91 acres of utility and drainage easements from residential properties. No impacts to wetlands will occur. Tree removal is anticipated. All temporarily disturbed terrestrial habitat will be revegetated with a standard INDOT seed mix upon completion of construction. No relocations of businesses or residences will result from this project.

The maintenance of traffic (MOT) will consist of maintaining west bound traffic and the closure of east bound traffic along E. CR 700 N. during construction. Three short term closures are anticipated for the CSX railroad upgrade and culvert replacements. Short term closures will require a detour which will utilize N. CR 900 E., E. County Road 600 N., and State Road 267. The length of the detour is approximately 3.5 miles and the additional travel time will be approximately five minutes. School corporations and emergency services will be notified of traffic changes and closures prior to construction. This project is scheduled for a July 2022 letting with construction anticipated to begin in Fall 2022.

The cost associated with this project is approximately $11,312,000, which includes preliminary engineering, right-of-way, construction with both federal and state funds anticipated to be used.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and INDOT have agreed this project falls within the guidelines of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) Level 2 environmental document. Preliminary design plans along with the CE are available for review at the Town of Brownsburg website, www.Brownsburg.org. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, a hard copy will be available for public viewing by appointment only. To request an appointment, please contact Shawn Pabst, spabst@brownsburg.org, 61 N.

She made everyone’s lives better, as well as those that may have not known her or met her, but received blessings from her. Mable was and “angel” here on earth, a “special soul.”
