Nickel Plate Music & Arts Festival %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU Downtown Rochester will ring with a variety of styles of music, entertainment and revelers at the inaugural Nickel Plate Music & Arts Festival, scheduled for 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 28, on 8th Street between Madison and Main streets and on the courthouse grounds. The event is hosted by Rochester Downtown Partnership. “We have many sponsors and donors who are helping make this event possible,” said Christine Walsh, director of promotions for the partnership. “I am part of a great team putting the festival together. We are really excited to be bringing a festival, especially after what we experienced, or really, didn’t get to experience this past year with COVID.” Among the scheduled events: • 11 a.m., Rochester High School band

AT YOUR SERVICE

24/7

• 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., face painting, balloon art, henna and caricature drawings by Sweetcakes Entertainment • Noon, singing of the national anthem by contest winner • 1 to 3 p.m., ﬁrst slate of musicians • 3:30 to 5 p.m., second slate of musicians • 8 to 10 p.m., closing band Hideous Business Musicians include guitarist and singer John Bahler and De Hurricane Reggae Band “and a couple of local musician favorites are planning to pop in later in the day,” said Walsh. “When we know the time slots we will update the schedule on our Facebook page. And I’m still collecting local and out-of-the-area artists.” From now through Sunday, Aug. 22, the partnership is holding a contest to determine who will sing the national anthem. Contestants are asked to post a video of their singing the na-

tional anthem on the festival’s Facebook page. The person with the most likes will be given the honor and win $25 in Chamber Bucks. Likes posted after Aug. 22 will not be counted. Other activities will include several make-and-take art projects; face-in-the-hole photo ops; and a musical petting zoo, which allows kids to “come up and try out different instruments,” said Walsh. “We have a few more things, but people will just have to come and see what else is going on.” “We have limited space this year,” Walsh said, “but are looking for vendors who speciﬁcally do art or handmade items. The spaces are ﬁlling up quickly.” The event is free to the public, with the only cost being purchases from the food, art and craft vendors. Walsh offered some advice so attendees can maximize their experience at the festival.

“People should come with chairs or blankets and be prepared to take their time. Listen to music, do all the art projects, grab some food and don’t forget the sunblock.” She also issued a call for participation in administrating the festival. “We are looking for volunteers who would like to be part of this event for the community. Even if it’s only for a couple hours, we would sure appreciate the help. The more volunteers we have, the more art projects we can do. We are also looking for sponsors and donations.” Monetary donations can be dropped off at the chamber ofﬁce, 822 S. Main St., Rochester, or mailed to P.O. Box 975, Rochester, IN 46975. For more information or to request a vendor application, email promotions@rdpworks.com. Festival updates can be found at www.facebook.com/nickelplatemusicartsfestival.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Rochester native thanks community for standing with him %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “In 1991, I got in a terrible accident in New Jersey,” stated Dennis Guyer, Rochester. “It was Oct. 30 at 2 a.m. A car ﬁlled with four drunk teenagers ran a stoplight. I was driving one of my semis and couldn’t miss them. I was in my 40s and had to undergo 13 surgeries. I was permanently disabled and unable to work. I owned a trucking business with 17 semis and lost that. I eventually lost my home. My wife of 29 years left me, and my grown children have moved away. I was left with a medical bill of $1.3 million. I lost everything. But my friends in Rochester helped me make it through. To this day, they stand with me.” Guyer was born and raised in Rochester. “I grew up on a farm in the area. We raised crops and beef cattle. I was on the tractor when I was 7 years old.” He enjoyed life on the farm. “Those of us who were busy on the farm in our childhood, may have missed out on being a kid, but we learned to work hard. That’s what farm families do — they work hard. When I became disabled, any strenuous activity was out of the question. That was very difﬁcult for me.” When Guyer was in his 60s, he became active in Council on Aging. “I’m 73 years old now and still go to the center to fellowship with other people and have a meal. I enjoy the

everyday conversations with friends. It’s refreshing to get with people.” Guyer has been voted king of Council on Aging twice, in 2012 and 2014. “We take the vote on Valentine’s Day. The king gets a box of candy, and the queen gets a dozen roses. In June we looked forward to being in the Round Barn parade.” Being king made Guyer feel appreciated. “It was really an honor to have people wanting me to represent them. In 2012, I served as king with Brenda Harrell. We got our picture taken together.” He’s found getting involved in the community has helped him with the pain of loss. “Being involved in Council on Aging is a lot of fun. We host the Senior Olympics each year and have craft showings. It’s an ongoing relationship where we work together in the community.” Guyer recently lost a friend who was very dear to his heart. “Benji was my Shih Tzu therapy dog. The ﬁrst time I met him I opened his mouth to look at the roof of his mouth. I used to train dogs and have learned that the smartest dogs have black pallets. Sure enough, the roof of Benji’s mouth was black. He was eight weeks old when I brought him home.” Benji was a hit in the community. “I took him to about four nursing homes a month. I loved that dog and the service we were able to provide for the community.” Guyer lost Benji a couple months ago and would sure enjoy

another Shih Tzu. “I can’t afford to spend a lot of money on a dog. But I sure miss the companion-

ship.” Anyone who has a Shih Tzu to spare, even a mixed breed, can email Guyer at dguyer@

rtcol.com or call (574) 835-3732. “I promise to share the dog with the community.”

Let’s study the Bible The power of the Gospel Read Romans 1:8-17 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew ﬁrst, and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:16) First, who was the writer of the book of Romans (See Romans 1:1)? The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Romans as God led him.

All 13 of Paul’s letters begin with the apostle’s name. It was customary in those days to open a letter with the writer’s name and %\ 5(9 521 personal 385.(< greeting, rather than place them at the end, as we do today. Paul identiﬁes himself as a servant and an apostle, and gives all the glory to God by saying he was called by God’s grace (Romans 1:5) and separated unto this wonderful ministry (see Acts 13:1-3). Second, what was the reason for writing the book of Romans (See Romans 1:2-5)? Paul immediately states his ministry is that of the Gospel, which he calls “the Gospel of God” (Romans 1:1), the “Gospel of His Son” (1:9), and the “Gospel of Christ” (Romans 1:16). He states this “Good News” is not something new he invented, but the Old Testament promised the coming of Christ and his death and resurrection. (See 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, where “the Scriptures” obviously means the Old Testament writings, since the New Testament was then being written.) By relating the Gospel to the Old Testament, Paul appealed to the Jewish believers reading his letter. The Gospel concerns Christ:

LANCE M. NELSON, AAMS

FINANCIAL ADVISOR

according to the ﬂesh, a Jew (Romans 1:3), but according to God’s power through the resurrection, proved to be the very Son of God (Romans 1:4). What is the purpose of this Gospel that cost Christ his life? Romans 1:5 tells us: to bring all nations into obedience to the faith. When a person truly trusts Christ, he or she will obey the Lord. Third, who are the recipients of the book of Romans (See Romans 1:6-7)? In Romans 1:6-7, Paul describes his readers, the saints (all Christian believers) in Rome. They are also “called” by Christ, not to be apostles, but to be saints. Notice a saint is a living believer in Jesus Christ. Only God can make a sinner into a saint! They are also “beloved of God,” even though they live in the wicked city of Rome! How wonderful it is God calls us “beloved” just as he did his Son (Matthew 3:17). Jesus states the Father loves us just as the Father loves Jesus (John 17:23). In this brief greeting, then, Paul identiﬁes: (1) the writer, himself; (2) the recipients, the saints at Rome (and not unbelievers); (3) the theme, Christ and the Gospel of salvation. If a Bible student wishes to master any one book of the Bible, let it be the book of Romans. An understanding of this book is a key to unlocking the entire Word of God.

A great deal of change in a generation Birds have declined. Certainly there aren’t as many birds as there were when I was a boy. E v e r y bird count, Christmas bird count, birding big days, breeding bird surveys, indicated fewer birds than there used to be. A scientiﬁc report I read states birds of North America have declined by 70%. Some species have not declined. Some species have even increased. Cardinal and turkey vultures have increased and expanded their range north. Peregrine falcon, bald eagle, osprey and California condor have increased. Birds aren’t the only wildlife that has declined. Bats haven’t just declined, they’ve disappeared. I used to see bats in summer when the weather was fair, circling around a yard light on a pole outside our barn, apparently catching moths which were also circling the light. I haven’t seen a bat, or a moth, around that light, or anyplace else, in several years. Raccoons have declined. I used to see one, two, as many as three ‘coons on the platform bird feeder outside our dining room window or on the ground under the feeder often. I haven’t seen a ‘coon on or under that feeder in several years. I have seen ‘coons

in the road, however, dead. I still see squirrels on that feeder, both red and gray, often two or three at a time, and there’s been a chipmunk now and then. I still see rabbits, not at a bird feeder, usually in or along the side of a road, but I don’t see as may as I used to. Nor do I see as many woodchucks as I used to. Insects have also declined, not just the moths that used to circle the security light out by the barn, all insects. There aren’t as many mosquitoes as there used to be. When we moved to our home in the country, mosquitoes were so numerous this time of year I wore a net over my head to protect me from the mosquitoes. It’s been a few years since I wore a mosquito net. Grasshoppers used to be as numerous in grassy fields in summer as mosquitoes were in the air. I haven’t seen a grasshopper this summer. There aren’t as many ants as there were when I was a boy or flies or crickets or caterpillars or butterflies. As a boy, I netted butterflies, killed them by putting them in a poison jar, then mounted them in a notebook, wings spread. There aren’t as many worms as there used to be. That’s right, worms, big worms, night crawlers. After a rain, they’d be scattered across the surface of the ground. My brother and I used to gather night crawlers after a rain, then sell them to fishermen. We had a sign out by the street, “Night crawlers for sale.” The world has changed a great deal since my brother and I

were boys. Summers we worked on farms, staying on a farm at times, doing chores, milking cows, by hand, carrying grain to pigs, gathering eggs and scattering grain for chickens. Farm ﬁelds in my home state, Iowa, ﬁelds of corn and soybeans, were smaller then, most of them

no bigger than an eighth of a section, 80 acres. Now many ﬁelds are a quarter of a section, 160 acres or more. Fertilizer in those days gone by was droppings from the livestock in the barn yard, spread with a manure spreader pulled by a tractor. Now fertilizer is chemicals.

There is less of nature than there was when I was a boy, fewer birds, fewer mammals, fewer insects. We have global warming. Now I read a proposal for homeowners to plow up lawns and plant them to vegetation beneﬁcial to birds and mammals and, yes, insects to wildlife.

Increased school bus safety patrols Fulton County Sheriff’s Office announced it will be increasing patrols this back-to-school season to protect students going to and from school. Starting as early as next week, officers will be out in greater numbers watching for stop-arm violations and motorists driving dangerously along school bus stops and in school zones. This is all part of the state’s Stop Arm Violation Enforcement program, or SAVE blitz, funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “With students heading back to the classroom, we need everyone to slow down, pay attention to the road and stop for buses,” said Sheriff Chris Sailors. “We’ll be on high-alert this back-to-school season and have zero tolerance for unsafe driving around buses and in school zones. There’s nothing more important to us than the safety of our children.” The department joins more than 200 across the state participating in this year’s SAVE blitz, scheduled to last until midSeptember. As part of the effort, officers will be working with bus drivers and school transportation officials to identify areas where the high-visibility patrols are needed the most. In the spring, departments participating in the last enforcement campaign issued more than 5,600 citations and 1,700 warnings. Of the citations, 251 were for stop-arm violations, 309 for texting while driving and an alarming amount, nearly 1,900, were for speeding. “Speeding around a bus or ignoring its stop-arm is not only

illegal, it’s reckless,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI executive director. “It puts everyone on the road at risk, including children, and has to stop – too much is at stake.” In Indiana, it’s against the law for motorists to pass a bus that’s stopped and has its red lights flashing and stop-arm extended. This applies to all roads, with one exception. Motorists who are on a highway divided by a barrier, such as a cable barrier, concrete wall or grassy median, are required to stop only if they are traveling in the same direction as the school bus. “If you’re driving and see those yellow flashing lights, slow down and be prepared to stop,” said Robert Duckworth, ICJI traffic safety director. “Don’t try to beat the bus. Give yourself plenty of time or just arrive late. Rest assured, it’s better than getting a ticket or possibly taking someone’s life.”

According to NHTSA, the greatest risk to a student isn’t riding a bus but approaching or leaving one, so drivers are encouraged to slow down, put away the distractions and watch for buses at all times. It’s also important for parents to talk to their child about school bus safety. Children should always look both ways before crossing the street and arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. At the bus stop, they should stay 6 feet (five steps) away from the curb, and always wait until the bus comes to a complete stop and for the bus driver’s signal to board.

Sheppard finds his way with The Compass %\ &5,6 $/'5,'*( *XHVW :ULWHU (EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third of a three-part series on Aaron Sheppard, one of the success stories from The Cross’s program The Compass.) –o– It was in prison when Aaron Sheppard decided to change his life, get sober and set positive goals for himself. You see, in prison there are many good people who just made bad choices or wrong decisions. If you don’t already know or haven’t heard, it is said it’s easier to obtain drugs in prison than it is on the streets. Whatever drug you desire is within reach inside most jails and prisons. Of course there will be many who dispute that fact, but those are usually people who have never served time. Sheppard joined Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous while incarcerated. He made a friend or two with similar goals as his and stuck with that small group during the remainder of his sentence. After his release Sheppard joined a few local recovery groups to continue his sobriety and pursued several employment opportunities. Not because he had to, because he wanted to. It’s not easy for a felon to find a job. Many companies do not want anything to do with people who have been to prison, are felons, drug or alcohol recovering addicts. There are times when Sheppard himself lost hope and thought he would never find a decent job. Even though he was in recovery and has been sober for so long, and doing the right thing, his past only reflects his arrest, sentence, police records. Not who he is now, but

only who he was. That’s where Debbie Fernandez from a local church called The Cross comes in, along with their recovery program they offer called The Compass. Sheppard attributes much of his success in obtaining a job and setting positive goals for himself to Fernandez and her husband Hector Fernandez. “They are pretty amazing people” he stated, “Very active in their community.” Fernandez has a friend, Jason Hudkins, who owns a local business called Lyntech Engineering that was looking for help and offered to interview Sheppard, regardless of his past, for a position with his company. Sheppard jumped at the chance, and was not only hired on the spot, but also started working that same day. He takes advantage of any overtime he can, and has been steadfast in excelling and anxious to learn everything possible to prove he is worth taking a chance on. Sheppard is on his way to accomplishing his goals of home ownership, and bringing his family back together along with becoming a productive member of society. He is valid proof there is life after meth, alcohol and drug addiction. In wrapping up our interview I asked Aaron if there was anything he would like to add or say to his family and anyone reading his story. “I want to thank my family for not giving up on me. For sticking by me when I needed you the most.” And he assures me “There’s more greatness coming from Aaron Sheppard!” The Compass meets from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesdays at The Cross located at 100 W. Third St., Rochester. If you have any ques-

Update on Fulton County Bark Park Fulton County Parks Department issued the following information on the new Fulton County Bark Park: “The new dog park is still planned at Richland Restoration Nature Park, and we would like to provide some information about the delay in getting it completed. The Leadership Academy group building the dog park has worked very hard designing the park, raising funds and promoting the park. They are as anxious as anyone to see it completed. “Since this had been the county landﬁll in the 1970s, Indiana Department of Environmental Management was involved with the closure and cleanup of the property.

The closure plans approved in 2015 did not include the dog park, so we had to apply to IDEM to get a plan modification approved. We had contacted IDEM in January of 2020, and were told that it wouldn’t be a problem, that there were other parks in closed landfills that included dog parks and we just needed to submit the paperwork. “We submitted the plans and IDEM was OK with the dog park design but requested that we needed to go back and make changes and updates to the 2015 park plan to get the modification approved. That was completed about 90 days ago and we are now waiting for their response. Hopefully we will hear from them soon.”

The legend of the Manitou Monster ,QGLDQD +LVWRULFDO %XUHDX On July 21, 1838, the Logansport Telegraph published a report that claimed that a monster inhabited Lake Manitou in Fulton County. The author cited stories from the Potawatomi, who

at this point still resided in the area (although the state would forcibly remove them a month later). Some other contemporary witnesses also supported the claims. The Telegraph printed an illustration of the beast a month later.

The illustration ﬁlled the majority of a column in the newspaper. Notable artist George Winter also took a special interest in the tale and even used descriptions to make a painting of it. The image shows the Telegraph illustration of the monster.

According to a recent conservation survey, Indiana farmers have set a conservation record this year by planting an estimated 1.5 million acres of overwinter living covers, the largest amount ever recorded by an Indiana Conservation Partnership survey. Overwintering living covers (i.e. cover crops and small grains, like wheat) are known for their environmental benefits. Cover crops and small grains help increase organic matter in the soil and improve overall soil health by adding living roots to the soil more months of the year. Cover crops also improve water infiltration into the soil, while other covers, like legumes serve as natural fertilizers. Although the conservation transect doesn’t differentiate between cover crops and small grains, Indiana farmers typically plant fewer than 200,000 acres of small grains annually, so cover crops vastly dominate the 1.5 million estimated acres. With the exception of corn and soybeans, cover crops are planted on more acres than any other commodity crop in Indiana. Cover crops are typically planted in the fall after harvest, and designed to protect the soil and keep roots in the ground throughout the winter, which improves soil health and helps filter water runoff. “I want to congratulate Hoosier farmers for continuing to be a leader in conservation,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, who also serves as Indiana Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “By increasing our cover crop practices, we are keeping Indiana waterways and soil healthier for future planting seasons and the next generation of farmers.” As a result of the cover crops planted last year, it is estimated 1.6 million tons of sediment was prevented from entering Indiana’s waterways, which is enough sediment to fill more than 453 Olympic-size swimming pools. Overwintering covers also prevented 4.1 million pounds of nitrogen and more than two million pounds of phosphorus from entering Indiana’s waterways.

Tiger Pride Honor Roll A total of 286 DePauw studentathletes have been named to the Tiger Pride Honor Roll for achieving at least a 3.40 grade point average for the 2021 spring semester. Olivia Jennings, Rochester, is a local student named to the honor roll.

The conservation survey also showed 62% of farmed acres were not tilled and 18% had employed reduced tillage after the 2020 harvest. This early spring survey is not intended to quantify pre-planting tillage. “This year’s data may be surprising to some considering the tough farm economy this past year. But over time, our farmers have learned that incorporating a comprehensive management system into their operation that includes cover crops and no-till/ strip-till have helped improve the sustainability and productivity of their soils,” said Indiana State Conservationist Jerry Raynor. As a result, farmers are sequestering more carbon, increasing water infiltration, improving wildlife and pollinator habitat — all while harvesting better profits and often better yields. Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler is excited to see what the future holds for soil conservation in Indiana. “Soil conservation remains strong in Indiana and this recent survey proves that Hoosier farmers go above and beyond in their best management practices to increase soil heath,” said Kettler. “I am optimistic that this trend of increasing cover crop acres will continue for years to come.” One Indiana farmer is already experiencing the benefits of adding a cover crop mixture to his operation this past year. Greg Mager farms 450 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat in Parke County, Ind. Along with managing cover crops on his operation for more than eight years, Mager is also promoting soil health on his land by continuously no-tilling for more than 10 years and having a comprehensive nutrient and pest management plan for his land. “The cover crops that I planted this year’s corn and beans into have held the weeds down considerably. So much so, I may not need any herbicide applications this year. If I do, it will be limited,” Mager said. The conservation transect is a visual survey of cropland in the state. It was conducted between March and April 2021 by members of the Indiana Conservation Partnership, including the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, Indiana’s Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Purdue Extension, as well as Earth Team volunteers, to show a more complete story of the state’s conservation efforts.

Indiana marks one year anniversary of hands-free driving law in effect Indiana Department of Transportation is marking the one year anniversary of the Hands Free Driving Law going into effect. On July 1, 2020, House Enrolled Act 1070 went into effect. The law states that a person may not hold a telecommunications device while operating a motor vehicle. The objective of the law is to increase roadway safety in Indiana by updating Indiana’s distracted driving law to require drivers to use hands-free technology when using a telecommunications device behind the wheel. “INDOT, along with our law enforcement partners, is working to educate and promote safety on the roads across the state. The Hands Free law is a vital tool to keep Hoo-

siers safe on the road by encouraging drivers to put down their phones and be fully focused on the road ahead,” said INDOT Commissioner Joe McGuiness. What is allowed: • People who are driving may use their device in conjunction with hands-free or voice-operated technology. • GPS and other map apps are allowed, provided they are being used with hands-free technology. • Devices may be used or held to call 911 to report a true emergency. Consequences for violation: • Violations can result in a Class C infraction. • Motorists in violation can be subject to a ﬁne. • Starting this month Indiana

BMV will begin adding points to records. Indiana State Police have been vital in enforcing the new law and helping to educate the public on driving hands free. “Since the new distracted driving law took effect last July, the Indiana State Police and its law enforcement partners, to include INDOT and ICJI have embarked on both the education and enforcement fronts to help change this dangerous driving behavior. There would be far fewer crashes, injuries and fatalities if motorists would simply put down their cellphones and concentrate on the road in front of them,” said Capt. Ron Galaviz, chief public information ofﬁcer for Indiana State Police. Since the law went into effect, more than 5,400 citations and 10,500 warnings have been issued by Indiana law enforcement, according to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Ofﬁcers are doing their part to educate motorists, but it’s going to take everyone working together to put an end to distracted driving,” said Devon McDonald, ICJI executive director. “We have to create a culture in Indiana that views distracted driving as dangerous and socially unacceptable. People’s lives depend on it.” About The Indiana Hands-Free Law In 2019, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute reported distracted driving from mobile devices was a

factor in at least 1,263 crashes and three fatal crashes. To make Hoosier roads safer, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb signed the Indiana HandsFree law to reduce distracted driving across the state. Beginning July 1, 2020, drivers are prohibited from holding a mobile device, except in emergencies, while their vehicles are moving.

For more information on the new law visit www.HandsFreeIndiana. com. Hands-Free Indiana is a partnership between the Indiana Department of Transportation, Indiana State Police, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Indiana Constructors Inc., Indiana Motor Truck Association and ACEC Indiana.

Hoosiers are encouraged to test their internet speed Indiana Farm Bureau has announced the formation of the Indiana Broadband Strategic Partnership to help bring reliable broadband to the most unserved and underserved communities across the state. To help with this initiative, the IBSP also includes Cook Medical Group, Duke Energy Foundation, Indiana Association of Realtors, Radius Indiana and the Regional Opportunity Initiative. This partnership will promote the Indiana Speed Test, a crowdsourced internet speed test created by GEO Partners LLC, a Minnesota-based company that focuses on enabling cost effective planning and deployment of broadband. GEO Partners LLC is working with other states including Minnesota, Washington, Maine, Kentucky and Nebraska, as well as the nationally designated Delta Regional Authority covering parts of eight states along the Mississippi River, to gather broadband data. “Since access to reliable broadband is one of the most important challenges facing rural communities today, Indiana Farm Bureau sought organizations that advocate on behalf of rural Indiana to begin finding and developing solutions,” said Randy Kron, INFB president. “Data is a critical piece to help local broadband groups and the state of Indiana invest where service is needed and to avoid overbuilding infrastructure. With their ground breaking work in other states, GEO Partners is a perfect fit.” The Indiana Speed Test is available on the INFB website, www. infb.org/speedtest, along with the websites of the initial partners and a growing list of collaborating organizations, including the Purdue Center for Regional Development, Association of Indiana Counties, Indiana Association of Regional Councils, Indiana Hospital Association and Indiana Broadband housed within the Office of Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch. The goal for the Indiana Speed Test is to gather data in all areas of Indiana. The GEO Partners software platform and the data will

be available to local governments and organized broadband groups to analyze potential solutions and aid their applications for Indiana’s Next Level Connections Grants and a variety of federal grants. It is also hoped the Indiana Speed Test data will jump start efforts to plan broadband infrastructure investments from the local portions of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, so decision-makers make investments

with the greatest impact. The speed test may be performed multiple times on any device that has an internet or cellular connection. The test takes less than one minute to complete, and no personal information will be collected. “All Hoosiers are encouraged to participate in the Indiana Speed Test, the more locations, the more data points we’ll be able to map to highlight what connections are
