The service begins at 5 p.m. For more information, call (317) 272-4068.

By Chris CornwallThe Hendricks County Community Foun-

dation (HCCF) recently held its first ever Get Involved volunteer fair. Around 70 booths lined the Hendricks County 4-H Conference Complex like aisles in a supermarket. Each one of them filled with an organization, and each organization supporting a cause. From health and education, to matters of faith and the arts, every cornerstone seemed represented - and positioned under one roof. Collectively, they offered a banquet of avenues that attendees could take towards getting involved. Members of the commu-nity did not come as “consumers,” despite the store-like atmosphere; they browsed the aisles for a way to give back.

This event presents an interesting di-chotomy between give and take. Especially since the event resembled a super-store, a place designed to expedite goods to the public. But what more perfect system is there? Consuming is rooted in our drive to meet basic needs. So perpetual are these needs that we have simplified the act over time. Nowadays, products of every kind are packaged, organized, and put on display for us. Put simply, consuming has been made easy for us.

“Giving,” it seems, is a more complex proposition. “We kept receiving calls from organizations looking for people to get involved,” said Ericka Bethel, events and communication manager of HCCF. Like-wise, members of the community wanted to

know how they could contribute. As a rem-edy, Get Involved was created. “It seemed like a perfect marriage,” said Bethel, who also organized the event.

By taking steps to make “giving” just as accessible as “consuming,” people had an opportunity to learn how they could be of

most value, just as a shopper sees how far a dollar can stretch. We search for value – for what suits our needs – we then say to our-selves, “that’s worth it.” After all, our time is valuable. And we are more willing to give it when it remains so.

COVER STORY By Gus PearcyBack in March,

Hendricks County ICON commissioned a research study to find out, among other trends, what our readers like to do with their free time. Eighty-seven percent indicated an interest in parks and recreation. Interestingly, that number was higher when compared to other locations (north and south) included in the same study. Here we take a look at future parks and recreation projects scheduled to be-come reality.Avon

Earlier this year, Avon’s Town Hall Park opened up a radio controlled car race track called Trak 36. Now, the town will go back to focusing on trails. “That’s the number one thing we hear in our park surveys. People want trails,” Avon Town Manager Tom Klein said.

First up is the Bicentennial Trail that will run from County Road 200 N. to the B&O Trail in Brownsburg. This short trail east of Heathermoor subdivision will add to the aggressive trail building the town has been working on.

Next year, Klein said the plan is to build a trail connecting Town Hall Park with Wash-ington Township Park. It will start on the west side of Town Hall Park near County Road 625 E. Then it will cross U.S. 36 at grade and eventually wind its way through the ball diamonds before entering the park.

Next up, is another trail that will continue south of the Washington Township Park Pa-vilion towards Plainfield. In all, it’s another 3.5 miles of trails in the next two years, Klein said. In addition, he mentioned the bridge over the railroad tracks on Avon Avenue (former-ly State Road 267) will include a sidewalk and a 10-ft. wide trail which would improve connectivity for residents south of the railroad tracks. “All the neighborhoods on 100 S. will be able to get to Frost Bite on sidewalks or the trail,” Klein said. “That will open up a lot of connections for people to safely get to places where they would never have dreamed of walking or riding a bike.”

For the future, Klein said the town is researching the pos-sibility of adding a rail fan park behind Ashley Furniture. Rail fan parks are where fans can go to watch trains. Apparently, this is already happening by the Avon salt barn off of Gable Drive.North Salem

County Parks Superintendent Jeremy Weber says Mc-Cloud Nature Park, in North Salem, will be getting a new arboretum soon. “It will be kind of an educational piece and an aesthetic piece for people to come through,” Weber said. “Kind of a museum for trees. People can come and learn about the different types of forests we have.” Also, a wet-lands mitigation will allow visitors at McCloud to use a trail and boardwalks to explore native wetland plants.

Weber said the 4.5-mile Vandalia Trail that runs from Amo through Coatesville to the county line will be paved. He said it will be done by next spring, although work could begin this fall. Adjacent to the Vandalia Trail is an equestrian trail that has been improved recently. It now has better drainage and added gravel to prevent flooding. Weber is also working on a plan for Sodalis Park in Plainfield and a long-term lease with Indianapolis International Airport. The current lease expires at year’s end.

BrownsburgThe proverb “In order to make an omelet, you have to

break a few eggs” is an apt description for the Brownsburg Parks Department. Demolition will begin soon on the for-mer St. Malachy Church and School site on Green Street. Eventually, Parks Director Phil Parnin is looking at the site as a way to expand Arbuckle Acres and build a rec center for residents.

In the immediate future, Brownsburg is building a new park on Hornaday Road. For now, it is being called, Cardinal Park, a will feature a new trail. Barring any delays, all of this is scheduled for completion this year.

Meanwhile, the parks department is moving from the old St. Malachy site to 410 Main St., the old Mowery Heating and Plumbing building.Danville

Danville has two new parks opening before the end of the year. The newest, Gary Eakin Community Park, will have a 1.5 mile trail opening in late October. It will also be adding some new amenities over the next few years.

Will Lacey, Danville parks director, says the Jack Willard Community Park will have a grand opening after the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay on Sept. 23, which begins at 10:30 a.m. on W. Main Street. There will be memorial bagpipes and food at the kickoff.

The new Willard Park named after a longtime firefighter and community leader will have the firefighter theme. There will be nine decorated fire hydrants, a playground for 2-5 year olds and a unique physical fitness course. “(It’s kind of like) meet the firefighter, interactive challenge,” Lacey said. “So you’ll meet a firefighter and then he’ll give you a chal-lenge.”

These will be posted on signs around the park with QR codes. Visitors will use their smart phones to access the challenges. There will also be some artwork, a mural painted on the fire station and some picnic tables and benches.

Next up for Danville parks is a complete overhaul of the Ellis Park tennis courts that have been dormant for a num-ber of years. Users will be able to play tennis or pickle ball at the new site. Up on the hill, where the skate park used to be, is Santa’s Workshop. It will house the Winterland light displays and have room for a workshop. Lacey said the front of the building will have a covered porch to be used as a shelter house.Plainfield

Plainfield is jumping on the Pickle Ball bandwagon and adding four courts at Swinford Park. Waiting until after the cross country sports season to begin building the courts, Director of Parks and Recreation Management Clay Chafin is hoping they can be ready before it gets too cold. “We modi-fied the tennis courts at Franklin Park to accommodate the many people that want to play pickle ball and also set up nets inside the recreation and aquatic center in the gym to accommodate people,” Chafin said. “There are a lot of snow birds that go down to Florida and run across it and found they were really liked it as a form of exercise.”

Plainfield Parks and Recreation is also adding a new park on the east side of White Lick Creek behind the Oasis Diner. It will commemorate Indiana’s Bicentennial along with town history. The town received two grants from Duke Energy and the Browning Group to build the park. “We’re going to put a masonry wall that will have some signs basically showing the history of the town from inception to today,” Chafin said. “It will include some seating and some land-scaping.” He hopes to get it done before the end of the year, but it dependents on the availability of contractors

Franklin Park will see a makeover of sorts. Chafin said the playgrounds will be grouped closer together. Playground equipment added similar to that of the former Metropolis kiddie playground that was located in front of the movie theater. Franklin Park will also get some new shade struc-tures, and most importantly, the giant pumpkin/Cinderella coach will be relocated to its original home at the entrance to the park. “When lead paint became taboo, it had to be taken out of there,” Chafin said of the fairy tale coach. “One of the guys down at (the Plainfield) public works, since it

was sitting down in (the department’s) yard, took it upon himself to sand it all down and repaint it. Now it looks beautiful.” The coach sits in the foyer of the Richard Carlucci Recreation and Aquatic Center.Guilford Township

Hummel Park has spent the summer redoing the bridge over the creek and installing another playground on site. Guilford Township Trustee Chuck Ellis says the near-term plan is to build a shelter house. It would be located on the west side of Hummel Park between the two hills that are used for sledding in the winter.

“We’re trying to get it done before the snowfalls,” Ellis said. “I actually had a couple of grandparents come up to me and say, ‘We bring our grandchildren down here to go sled-ding and get tired of standing out in the cold watching them. You need to build a shelter house there.’” Eventually, plans are to install a fireplace in the shelter, but that may not get done this year.Washington Township

While nothing new is happening this year in Washington Township Park, Director Lora Lacey says she still runs into people who are unaware of all the features in the back lower half of the park. These amenities are the community building, the amphitheater and the splash pad. There are, however, plans to open up Helen M. Pecar Memorial Park on County Road 150 N. But they are still in the very early stages.

What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a cross between tennis, ping pong, and badminton. Equipment used includes a whiffle ball and hard paddles. It’s like playing table tennis if you were much smaller and could run along the top of the table. There is a net at center court, just like in tennis. The game can be played in doubles or singles. Play requires that the ball bounce once on the serve, and once on the first return before hitting it into

the air. On either side of the net is a 7-foot zone called the “kitchen” where you can’t hit it without a bounce. Only the side serving can score and the first one to 11 wins. Although the sport was invented

in 1965, it has only recently gained popularity in the last decade. Now, there are even sanctioning bodies, like the USA Pickleball Association.

“In order to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs”

is an apt description for the Brownsburg Parks Department.

By Becky SchroerDemolition

of the former St. Malachy Church and School on the west side of North Green Street will be complet-ed in two phases within the next couple of months. The school portion is expected to be demolished by Oct. 14 with the church property and a residence at 25 Twin St. be-ing removed by Nov. 14. The ball diamond to the south of the property will not be im-pacted by this work.

During its Sept. 8 meeting, the Browns-burg Town Council approved the $330,000 bid from Denney Excavating, Inc. for both demolition projects. Additionally, the coun-cil approved a $187,000 bid from Sub-Sur-face of Indiana, Inc., for the relocation of the Twin Street Lift Station water main that runs through the St. Malachy Church and School property. The existing eight-inch main in that area will be replaced with a 10-inch main beginning at Twin Street along the top of the creek bank, behind all the baseball fields, along the drive within Arbuckle Acres and then along Lucas Drive to reconnect with the existing eight-inch main there. Amenities at Arbuckle Acres will not be im-pacted.

However, before demolition begins, as-bestos in floor tiles and plaster found in the St. Malachy property must be removed at

an estimated cost of $20,000 to $25,000. The town will be accepting bids and anticipates a contract for the work before the end of September.

The demolition and main relocation also must be completed prior to the town trans-ferring ownership of the former church/school property to the Brownsburg Rede-velopment Commission (RDC), which the council also approved Sept. 8. Because the commission is taking the lead in discus-sions/negotiations with potential develop-ers of the newly rezoned mixed-use/parks districts, the title transfer is a logical step, Brownsburg Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz explained. The town purchased the school/church property in 2012 with the vision of including it in the overall downtown/gateway project. At least one development company is in negotiations with the RDC, concerning the mixed-use (retail, office and residential) project.

“It fits in with prior town councils before us planning and then the planning docu-ments put together — the comprehen-sive plan and so forth. It all fits in with the continuing process to move ahead with the development I will call ‘Downtown Browns-burg.’ I know there are thoughts that are contrary to this that are out there, but I think we also know of many people who are in favor of this and look forward ulti-

mately to this development of downtown Brownsburg…I feel very comfortable in vot-ing in favor of this with our legal counsel’s input…,” said Town Council Vice President Dennis Dawes.

The town has held public information ses-sions in September concerning this project. During the first session, approximately 50 individuals attended according to Klein-henz. While most comments were favorable, he said, there were concerns. The RDC will

also be discussing the development plans further during its upcoming meetings.

Finally, the town council initially ap-proved the Karen Kerns’ request to annex into the town her property at 4278 Eastside Dr., within the Lewis Lake Subdivision on the southwest side of Brownsburg. The re-quest follows the town’s approved connec-tion of the Kerns property to town water as a result of a failed well. Final approval of the annexation will be considered in October.

By Becky SchroerThe Town of

Brownsburg is proposing a $48,920,578 budget for 2017 — down $2.08 million from the approved 2016 budget. The reduction is primarily due to recent 2016 capital project payments that will not be re-quired in 2017. This budget will initially be considered during the town council’s Sept. 22 meeting.

The proposed 2017 town property tax rate is $.9191 (this rate is just for the town and does not include other taxing enti-ties: Hendricks County, townships, library, fire territory and Brownsburg Community School Corporation). The proposed 2017 rate is lower than the 2016 rate of $.9583. The town rate has steadily dropped over the past six years since 2012’s rate of $1.1498. The town’s projected assessed valuation is $1,247,830,248, up from $1.221 billion in 2016.

Approximately 23 percent of the annual property taxes collected finance the Town of Brownsburg’s operating funds (proposed

$13,748,766 for 2017). The remaining 77 percent provides funding for other agen-cies such as Hendricks County, townships, library, fire territory and Brownsburg Com-munity School Corporation.

Significant changes proposed for the 2017 budget are:

Pay Increases: A proposed 2-percent merit-based pay pool increase for all civil town employees and a 2 percent across-the-board pay in-

crease for police. A 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase has also been proposed. The pro-posed 2 percent increase budget impact is $159,474.

Health Insurance: A proposed $18,811 for each employee with family coverage and $6,494 for single employees has been bud-geted for 2017. This is a 1.5 percent increase over 2016.

• Geographic information system techni-cian: $29,120 or $14/hour

ICONOGRAPHYBy Chris Cornwall

Each year, millions of Monarch Butterflies embark on mi-gration spanning much of North America. The 3,000 mile

journey can be treacherous for these tiny navigators. Unable to survive cold winters, Mon-archs head south in early autumn towards Mexico. “Their internal body temperature needs to be 87 degrees in order to fly,” said Jordan Tremper, naturalist with Hendricks County Parks and Recreation (HCPR). Overwintering in warmer lands does not ensure their safety how-ever. “They encountered a bad winter-storm in Mexico,” said Hanna Arney, also a Naturalist with HCPR. A significant number of the population died in Central Mexico after more than a hundred acres of forests were destroyed by high winds.

The effects were certainly noticeable at Mc-Cloud Nature Park this year. “Last year we tagged 25 Monarchs. But this year, we only caught one,” said Arney. On Saturday Sept. 10, Tremper and Arney led a group of amateur Monarch hunters armed with nets through prime butterfly real estate. Families searched among the flowers and milkweed as naturalists helped them to identify the variety of fluttering insects.

Although the Monarch remained elusive, the group was lucky enough to capture one. “I was holding my net up, and it just happened to fly straight in,” said Dan Crowe of Montgomery County.

Crowe, along with his wife and two little girls were one of many families that came out to en-joy the day. They watched as Tremper gently folded the wings together, and then placed a sticker on one before releasing it back into the wild. If captured again, the tagged butterfly will provide valuable information such as range, habitat, and life cycle.

By Becky SchroerA $1-million

state grant will help fund three road improvement projects in Plainfield. The town received the maximum grant amount to complete work on Hadley

Road, Raceway Road, and Concord Road/Saratoga Boulevard.

According to Plainfield Deputy Town Manager Tony Perona, the town council approved the projects which will begin in 2017 with some work possibly extending into 2018.

Some improvements were made to Had-ley road during earlier roundabout con-struction at County Road 700 East. This new

project will continue the Hadley Road im-provements from the roundabout to White Lick Creek Bridge. They include road wid-ening, curbs and gutters. However, Hadley Road will remain two lanes. The changes will not affect Hummel Park.

A second project will result in a round-about at Concord Road and Saratoga Boule-vard. Perona said the roundabout will help with current traffic from the Walmart Neigh-borhood Market and future traffic antici-pated from the new 55-and-over commu-nity Vandalia by Del Web and single-family homes by Pulte. The Del Webb community is the second in Indiana, with Fishers being the first, Perona added.

And finally, Raceway Road — which di-vides Hendricks County from Marion County — will be relocated west at U.S. 40 to form a distinguishable gateway into the east side of Plainfield. The project will be completed in phases and includes signs, trees and land-scaping “so that people will be welcomed into Plainfield” when they reach Raceway Road, Perona said.

By Tiffany GilesNot all of the

council was pres-ent at this meeting; Councilman Greg Zusan was absent. The attending members ap-proved the White Lick Creek Trail Design

contract amendment, which will allow the purchase of right of way and the design of a bridge over the creek. White Lick Creek Trail is part of the Go! Avon Road and Trail Im-provement Program.

The Council also approved two internal control policies. The first policy prohibits ac-ceptance of cash for Town services. The sec-ond, Resolution 2016-29, allowed the Coun-cil members to express their appreciation

for the hard work of Avon Town employees. The Final Reading of Ordinance 2016-31was approved and established fees of $150 for the Police Video Review Fee.

Colin Turner, a local Boy Scout present-ed his request for an upcoming project at Town Hall Park. The project, which will aid in Turner's achieving Eagle Scout status, will include a concrete path down the Memorial walk way.

An amended Satori Pointe ordinance was presented to Council members with residents of the community voicing their concerns. The revised proposal addressed questions previously asked by the Town Council regarding property lines, poten-tial commercial real estate and limiting the number of bedrooms within each unit. The new ordinance was not voted upon and is still under consideration.

Amended Satori Pointe ordinance presented

By Becky SchroerDo you enjoy watching Chip and Joanna Gaines

on HGTV’s Fixer Upper? Bobby Williams of BGW Construction, LLC, of Plainfield says his redesigns, restorations and renova-tions on homes and businesses resemble that of the Gaines.

Because his business has grown at 151 Williams Trace Rd., Williams re-quested approval of an architectural and site design review as well as prima-ry plat approval from the Plainfield Town Commission on Sept. 8. The board approved the two 7,200-square-foot buildings on 1.54 acres of the nine acres known as Williams Trace Park.

Deputy Town Manager Tony Perona explained that although the site is al-ready zoned general commercial, it requires commission approval because it is located within a Plainfield Gateway Corridor, in this case, US 40. Williams’s business is north of US 40 behind R & M Automotive, and Williams Trace road borders the Crew Carwash located on US 40. Williams also received waivers for building materials to have cedar board-and-batten siding, a truck court, install a sidewalk on only one side of the road, and not to derive access from a public or private street.

“That’s where our passion is,” Williams said of repurposing barn board and other materials to restore old homes and renovate/remodel newer ones. His BGW Construction subsidiary Hoosier Barn Heroes has helped to boost his otherwise successful construction/remodeling business, he said. The com-pany won the Indianapolis Flower and Patio Show award for its 1870s out-door kitchen made with barn wood. Both he and his business partner Jason Schoeff are former Plainfield High School teachers. They have been working together at BGW Construction for 20 years and employ their former students.

Because of the growth, Williams explained, one of the buildings is needed to house BGW’s and Hoosier Barn Heroes’ office for client consultations including 3D project imaging as well as a showroom of barn wood and a millwork workshop for making furni-ture. The second building will likely be rented for offices or warehousing, Williams said.

In other business, the plan commission:• Approved warehouse site designs requested by Ambrose Industrial subject to a memo-

randum of understanding between the town and Ambrose allowing the town’s proposed Klondike Road construction on the west side of Ambrose Industrial’s 80-acre property. However, during a public hearing of this project, Medallion Meadows and other residents expressed concerns about the truck traffic impact on their neighborhoods. Commission-

ers Kent McPhail (also a town council member) and Bill Kirchoff said they are committed to getting Medallion Meadows another exit from their subdivision, and Klondike Road is the answer. The commission also approved a Klondike tax increment financing (TIF) district which includes the Ambrose Industrial complex. The town will use the new tax increment collected from the complex to help fund the Klondike Road construction. The town council will also consider this TIF district in an upcoming meeting.

• Approved rezoning and architectural/site design for 64 subsidized apartments for in-dividuals 55 and older on 8.82 acres. The Kinnley Court project developer Keller Develop-

ment is seeking from the state this fall tax credits needed to build the project. The board approved the rezoning on the condition Keller receives the state funding needed to build. If not, the zoning will remain as is for the area housing Just for Fun and a St. Vincent facility (which is located behind Staples).

• Approved plans for Home Bank’s 7,400-square-foot bank and an office building on 1.4 acres on Main Street near the Saratoga neighborhood and Walmart Neighborhood Market.

• Approved a motion to rename roads within the warehouse district, at the request of developers. The request is contingent upon approvals by the Town of Avon and Hendricks County as the roads also fall within their jurisdiction. The warehouse developers requested that County Road 900 East from County Road 100 South to Township Line Road be renamed Smith Road and County Road 200 South from Dan Jones Road to Raceway Road be re-named Bradford Road. The developers explained that actual road names, rather than county road names, are more attractive to businesses because they indicate the warehouses are urban based and not rural based.

• Approved two separate projects within the warehouse district. One for an 892,000-square-foot office/warehouse/distribution building and smaller warehouses/build-ings on a 48.3 acres. And another for a 336,000-square-foot office/warehouse/distribution building on a 27.34 acres.

By Becky SchroerRenovations are planned for four Plainfield community schools.

A portion of the work will be funded through an agreement with a holding corporation for a bond issue.

During the Sept. 8 Plainfield Community School Corporation Board meeting, Assistant Superintendent Jud Wolfe explained that, in an agreement, the school corporation would “sell” a portion of the school buildings to the holding corporation, and upon payoff of the bonds, the school system would receive the deeds to the schools. Schools included in this agreement would be Brentwood Elementary, Plainfield Community Middle School and Clarks Creek Elementary. Renovations to the three schools include mechanical upgrades, window replacement, boiler and air conditioning upgrades, and installation of galvanized pipes, Wolfe explained. He added that the school system is in the early phases of this pro-cess.

Other proposed work includes an auditorium project at Clarks Creek and renovation of hallways, stairwells, the gymnasium and minor mechanical work including the boiler at Central Elementary. The Central work will start in summer 2017 and Clarks Creek spring/summer 2017, Wolfe said.

On behalf of the Plainfield Police Department, Assistant Police Chief Major Carri Weber accepted a $10,000 donation from the school board to assist with the K9 program. She ex-plained that the department will be retiring a 12-year-old K9 officer soon. The money will assist with the purchase of a new K9 unit dog for explosive detection, apprehension and at-tack within the community and to assist the schools with drills, etc. She also explained that the K9 unit dogs are supported by community donations, not taxpayer dollars.

A public hearing concerning the school system’s $58.7 million budget for 2017 was held. There were no public comments. The board is scheduled to consider the budget for ap-proval during its Oct. 6 meeting.

The board praised Plainfield High School teacher Michelle Burress, who has been named one of 10 Indiana Department of Education finalists for the 2017 Indiana Teacher of the Year award. It also noted that three of the 10 finalists were from Hendricks County schools. In addition to Burress, they include Chris Hill of Avon High School and Jennifer Jo Steed of Brownsburg High School.

Six students selected by their teachers for exemplifying the values of truth and respect were honored by the board. They include Chris Payne, Clarks Creek; Chandler Suprano, Brentwood; Brianna Such, VanBuren; Mary Nahlen, Plainfield High School; Allison Fish, Cen-tral; and Aidan Lindberg, Plainfield Community Middle School.

By Dick WolfsieJust once in 38

years I’d have liked to hear Mary Ellen say something like: “Dick has this terrific habit of changing his under-wear every day.” Generally the word habit is associated with a repeated bad action. I mean, there are good vibes and bad vibes; good ideas and bad ideas; good luck and bad luck. But it’s almost redundant to in-clude the word “bad” with habit.

Mary Ellen recently commented that after all our years together it still drove her a little batty that I whistle all the time. She claims I do it when I am working in my home office or cleaning out the garage, and even when I am on my way out the door to go to the TV station.

“No one whistles on the way to work,” she said. I told her I could probably name seven who did, but one of the dwarves’ names keeps slipping my mind.

I called my sister in New York to see if she had any memory of this habit of mine when we were growing up. “Well,” said Linda, “you do remember Mom’s neighborhood nick-name was Whistler’s Mother.” Funny, I never made the connection.

“Okay,” I said to Mary Ellen,” at least I don’t do it while I’m brushing my teeth. And, any-way, everyone has at least one bad habit.” And so it began. I was then treated to a lita-ny of persistent behaviors that I never knew had been bothering my wife, apparently for almost 40 years.

When Mary Ellen had depleted her list, I told her that my next column would be filled with all of her annoying habits. With that, she simply walked up to me, nose to nose, and stared at me for 30 seconds.

Not only did that scare the heck out of me, but I now know how the inside of my refrigerator feels.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a cen-tralized “Arts Dis-

trict” — an I-cannot-wait-to-visit destination — in Hendricks County?

I hate to say the word “Carmel,” but it has established such a district and successfully so. And it does not have to be the county seat; Carmel isn’t. Why not do the same here whether it is in Danville, Plainfield, Browns-burg, Avon or another Hendricks County community? But it needs to be a true Hen-dricks County effort with collaboration from the county, towns, local artists, state arts support, art grants, etc.

I see efforts toward attaining this: the Hendricks County Arts Council/Gallery on the Square, classes by individual local art-ists, the Hendricks and Morgan Counties Cultural Trail, Visit Hendricks County promo-tions, local art festivals, local galleries/shops and a variety of other one-off programs. I also am seeing efforts by towns to make their communities more visitor/pedestrian friendly with downtown improvement proj-ects. Wouldn’t it be great to have one cohe-sive location, both physically and virtually, for folks to visit to see and buy all Hendricks County artists’ work in one venue? Find all available Hendricks County art classes on one website and take these classes in one location (i.e., the Indianapolis Art Center)? And also have this location in the area of other I-cannot-wait-to-visit destinations such as specialty shops and restaurants (i.e., Zionsville)?

There is great potential here in Hendricks County. We have great local artists and could even attract more. We have commu-nity developments under way that are ripe for this type of audience. We could estab-lish this county as a cultural hub that could include a variety of arts: musical, visual art, written art, etc. Again, the key words are collaboration and cohesiveness ― a concert-ed effort to have a unified offering of the arts in Hendricks County.

So where shall this happen and when? And who will take the lead?

Art Hub: Why not Hendricks

County?Education beginsat home

We’re a little over a month into the new school year and I hope that students, teach-ers and school administrators are having a good time of it. What I mean by that is that students are learning, teachers are enjoy-ing teaching and administrators have the time they need to create the best schools possible.

There’s nothing more important than the education of our children. I know that’s a cliché, but it’s so very true. While we have many excellent teachers in our local public school systems it is not their sole responsi-bility to ensure the education of their stu-dents. Yes, I know – they are professionals and they get paid to do a job, but hear me out. Education starts in the home and it is also supplemented by the many wonder-ful youth development programs that are offered in the community. Be it Boy Scouts, 4-H, music and sports, you name it – there are many activities that a child can partake in this day and age and they are all valuable educational tools. Those students best posi-tioned to succeed are those who come from a home that values education.

We have a state legislature that is fixated on the public school system.

Our political friends - and they are, I be-lieve, well-meaning - will tell you they are

so fixated because a huge amount of the state’s budget goes to public schools. That’s why they continue to look at ways, in my opinion, to simply throw money at an issue where money is not going to be the cure. You can bet that early childhood education will be the subject of debate in the next leg-islative session – isn’t it always?

There may be great merits to early child-hood education, but again, the fact of the matter is until parents get involved in the education of their child then and only then will they see their child’s aptitude rise.

Here’s to a great school year!

"Those students best positioned to succeed are those who come from a

home that values education."

What do you like there? It's my favorite place to eat. The chicken Thai pizza is my favorite along with the fresh salad bar.

What do you like about this place?I like the banquet room for birthday parties and social events. Chicago’s gives back to the community and supports many local charities, fundraisers, and mission trips. This is one huge reason that I enjoy patronizing the restaurant. Most of the employees have been there for years and I really look forward to seeing them.

By Jerry ReznyAre you in the mood

for a great steak? Which one is your favorite?

Besides all of the different cuts, tenderloin (a.k.a. filet mignon,) porterhouse, T bone, New York strip, ribeye, sirloin, etc. there are all the different grades. Then there are grain fed and grass fed cattle. It can be confusing!

Grain fed vs. grass fed: Cattle have always been grass eaters until the 1930s when feedlots were built to feed corn to cattle. This was considered to be a more efficient way to fatten up the herd. It had the positive effect of making the beef more tender and juicy, with more fat marbling. The negative effect is that they are given antibiotics because their stomachs aren’t “designed” to digest corn. Also, grain-fed beef has more Omega 6 fats and less Ome-ga 3 fats resulting in a less healthy balance. If you don’t mind your steak being a little chewier but want great flavor and healthier fats, pick the grass fed variety. If the butcher

tells you it’s grass fed, grain finished; it’s considered grain fed.

Beef grades: The main grades found in the supermarket are prime, choice and se-lect. There are multiple levels of each, which makes picking a good steak even harder. Prime grade has the highest content of

marbled fat, resulting in a very juicy, tender steak. Very

few grocery stores carry prime grade because of the high cost. The next

grade is choice, followed by select, the least marbled of

the main grades. If you see one labeled “An-gus” or “Black Angus” it does not mean that the steak came from that breed of animal. Those names were trademarked by meat companies to project the image of a higher quality product. Is it? See what you think!

5 interesting facts about olive oil

Olive oil is known for its health-promoting properties and is very popular amongst consumers for both cooking and adding flavor to foods. Here are five interesting facts about the history of olive oil and how it’s produced today.

1) The olive tree is native to the Mediterranean basin and archeological evidence shows that it was produced as early as 4000 BC.

2) Historically, olive oil was used not only for food, but for medicine, lamp fuel, soap, and skin care.

3) Olive oil production begins with harvesting the olives; traditionally they were handpicked but today harvesting is performed by a variety of shakers that transmit vibrations to the tree branches causing the olives to drop into nets.

4) The majority of olive oil is produced in Europe with Spain being the largest producer followed by Italy and Greece. In the United States olive oil is produced in California, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, and Hawaii.

5) Variety and maturation are two of the most important factors that influence the quality and taste of olive oil.

DOUGH

By Gus PearcyMost people rec-

ognize William (Bill) Bailey. He grew up in Avon. He graduated from Avon High School. He's a community leader and was a founding father for the Town of Avon. Yet, few people understand his business and why it is successful. Acme Masking, Bailey admits, does sound like a supplier of Wile E. Coyote and his hare-brained attempts to catch the Road Runner. But it’s actually a leading supplier of critical support tooling for the aerospace industry. Acme (a term indicating first or best), has an A-list roster of clients including Pratt & Whit-ney, GE, Rolls Royce, Delta Airlines, Boeing, Honeywell and more. Most of the work is in jet engines.

Bailey is a third-generation owner of Acme Masking. His grandfather, Homer Bai-ley, started the company 62 years ago as an engineering firm in Avon. It was located in an old interurban building at the corner of U.S. 36 and State Road 267. The partnership split a couple years later and Acme Masking was born. In 1978, the business was moved to Production Drive where it still is today.

Many family businesses lose momentum and fail by the third generation, but it ap-pears that Bailey learned a bit of entrepre-neurship at Indiana University. In 1987, he started Acme Coatings.

"We were building equipment that was done for what was still Allison Gas Turbine, part of General Motors for applying a spe-cialty coating on turbine plates and vains," Bailey, who is 61, said. "(Acme Masking) put in several of these systems both domestic and international, and my thought was, if I'm going to be building all this equipment and installing it - knowing everything that has to be done, why not start doing the coating myself?"

Acme Coatings then contracted Acme

Masking to build all the equipment. "The one company complemented the other," Bailey said. "And we just kept going back and forth. So it worked out very well. This second Acme took off fast, providing equip-ment and training all over the world. Its last international installation was in Jakarta.

In the 38 years that Bailey has been with Acme, he has seen many changes to the industry. As with any business, there have been lean times, but Acme has few com-petitors and it can see the same part several times in its lifespan. Not only do they see it when it is manufactured, but also when it needs to be refurbished.

The Baileys of Avon have been long-time community supporters. Bill senior, his fa-ther, sat on the Washington Township Board and Homer helped get the fire department started.

In 1993, Orville Woody came to Bill Bailey Jr. and told him that the latest in a long line of attempts to incorporate Avon was failing again. After studying it awhile, Bailey knew that the plan to incorporate all of Washing-ton Township into Avon was just too aggres-sive. It would likely not get approval from county commissioners due to the loss of tax revenue. So he decided to scale it down, significantly.

One of the largest obstacles on the road to becoming a town was the need for a cer-tified surveyed area of what was to be incor-porated. So Bailey arranged to get the plans for the West Central Conservancy District, and used them as a survey for the original town boundaries.

In 1995, Avon became a town. Bailey jokes that the main reason the town setup committee wanted to incorporate was be-cause there was no package liquor stores

A chat with aerospace contractor and community activist Bill Bailey – on the history of his family business and how he helped to

incorporate the Town of Avon

nearby. He is humble when he talks about the effort, but without his assessment, Avon as a town would have likely come much later than it needed to. It was not in com-mand of its own destiny. Residents didn't have a say in zoning issues or services. Now residents have the opportunity to elect their own officials and dictate the future. Bailey also served as the council president for the first three years.

Baily doesn't dabble much in the politics now. He's too busy living a great life. Nope, Bailey isn't a pilot. That would be too pre-dictable. Still, he's a bit of a thrill-seeker. He just scratched an item off his bucket list when he participated in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona.

"I came closer to the tail than the horn, because I smacked a couple of them on the rear as they ran by," Bailey said of his trip.

10 Questions for…

Josh Duke

1 What are your responsibilities here at Visit Hendricks County? I oversee all our media PR efforts for Visit Hendricks County. We also have a tourism

blog called the Hendricks County Insider. We have about 5 to 6 bloggers who help us out with that and write stories. We produce about 3 to 5 stories a week so it’s pretty active, and I do a lot of editing for that. And our bloggers are local men and women who have a passion for writing and like to do that on the side. I view them as our insiders… people that have their feet on street – going out and doing things, then sharing their experiences with us.

2 What can we expect from the Bicentennial Torch Relay this year? Hopefully we can expect a lot of fun and celebration. You know we are starting the

day out at Lucas Oil Raceway, and we are actually going to take the torch down the drag strip at 300 mph aboard a Morgan Lucas Racing Top Fuel dragster… it will be the fastest the torch goes on its 92 county trip... So it arrives here on the 23rd of September, and you know we’re going to kick off its visit here in Hendricks County with style. But we have a lot of fun things planned besides that…

3 300 mph? How do you ensure that the torch doesn’t go out?

Purdue University students were actually the ones that designed the torch. It is being fueled by E85 ethanol, which is an Indiana based product. The torch is made of all alloy… it’s going to have a GPS locator inside it, so you can follow it along and see where the torch is right now. It also has a camera so you can take photos and make video with it.

4 Can you also make calls with it? Nah, you can’t make calls with it. But it actually has a guard on it to protect it from

the wind… but they only tested it up to 200 mph… because later in the fall they are going to end it in Marion County and take it around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. But they didn’t test it for 300 mph, which is how fast we go. So the torch could possibly go out but we are prepared for that. There is a traveling cauldron that goes everywhere with the torch… so the fire never actually goes out… our first torchbearer will dip it into the cauldron to start the torch for that day.

5 What were the criteria for selecting the 24 torchbearers? We had a public nomination process that happened late last year. There was about

a 2-3 month window where the public could nominate folks who were either past or current residents …but they had to have some kind of impact on Hendricks County. And beyond that, we received 130 nominations, and 104 nominees. So we had to whittle that down to 24. We had a seven member committee that represented the entire county. We went through and basically scored each one by their contribution to the county and to the state… things like volunteer activities they participated in… You could also nominate folks posthumously…

6 Why posthumous selections? We had some conversations about that because we had people nominated like

Adrian Parsons from generations and generations ago. He is like a county forefather,

if you will… We asked ourselves, should it be people from our generation that we know? Or should it be anyone who made a significant contribution to the county and state? We had some discussions and finally landed on the fact that we should recognize anybody that had a major impact, and we should grade them the same. This is a celebration of our county and our state’s history. What better way to recognize those people? And what better way to bring light on their contributions? And by making them a torchbearer, we can tell their story…

7 How did you come to organize the event? I was not the original county coordinator. The county commissioner selected the

county coordinator. And this first person, he and his company decided that he didn’t have the time to put into that. So Jamie Bohler-Smith, who is the Executive Director here (at Visit Hendricks County), she was involved from the get-go to help out wherever needed. They turned to a lot of destination marketing organizations because our type of organizations are plugged into the entire county, which is what the state was looking for. So when they were in need of another county coordinator, she (Bohler-Smith) approached me and asked if I would take that on. And I was happy to do that.

8 What challenges have you faced after becoming County Coordinator?

There have been times in the past year where fifty-percent or more of my job has been dedicated to the Bicentennial, beyond just my

normal duties here at Visit Hendricks County. But one of the first things that came up was that they (the state) had a route chosen for the torch to go through… they basically chose the route on state-owned roads that they could control to make sure it went through the county seat… Locally, it was a very poor route for us. It wasn’t going to go through Avon, or Brownsburg. It wasn’t even going to go through Plainfield… We had 2-3 weeks to submit a route deviation form to get that changed.

9 How have you been able to overcome these challenges? In terms of everything coming together, if it was just me working on it, or just

Jaimie and I, none of the things would have been done as well. More specifically, you may notice that it is called Hendricks County Torch Relay presented by Duke Energy. To do some of the things, we really needed to bring on a corporate sponsor that would make funds available to help us with our plans and to promote this. So Duke Energy stepped up, came along side us, and was willing to provide the money. It has been invaluable to us to have that budget…

10 What do you want to say to Hendricks County residents about the upcoming relay?

This is kind of our legacy, if you will. We are Hoosiers, and we are celebrating 200 years of history. What better way to do that than to come out on a Friday morning to one of these locations? And to celebrate and cheer on your fellow community members as you see the torch go through our county.

Josh Duke has served as the Communications Manager for Visit Hendricks County since 2011. He has also been

spearheading the Bicentennial Torch Relay coming up on Sept. 23. Here we ask Josh Duke 10 questions…
