LEGAL NOTICE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER REVISED TOTAL COLIFORM RULE Monitoring and Reporting Requirements Not Met for: Knightstown Water Utility Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation. We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water standards meet the Environmental Protection Agency's health standards. During January 2017 we did not test for Total Coliform and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water at that time. What should I do? There is nothing you need to do at this time. What does this mean? This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. What happened? The Total Coliform sample was delivered to the drop-off location. At some point after that, it became lost. What is being done? We are now notifying the lab as soon as we drop the sample off so the lab can notify Knightstown they have the sample. We anticipate resolving the problem within two hours after receiving notice. For more information, please contact Randy Anderson at 765-345-2505 or 26 S. Washington St., Knightstown, IN 46148. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. This notice is being sent to you by Knightstown Water Utility. Public Water Supply ID#5233005 Date Distributed: March 6, 2017 Knightstown Official Explains Water Quality Mix-up The Knightstown water utility's department head wants to assure water customers that a recent viola- tion of state drinking water stan- dards posed no risk to them. “It had nothing at all to do with the quality of the water,” Randy Anderson stressed to The Banner Monday morning. Twice each month, the water department takes samples and has them sent to Environmental Laboratories Inc., a Madison-based company with a satellite office in Carmel, for testing for compliance with drinking water standards. Results from those tests are then forwarded to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and also sent back to the town. Anderson said the town's nor- mal protocol is to drive the water sample to Greenfield, where it is left at the Holiday Inn. An Environmental Laboratories couri- er then picks up Knightstown's sample and those of other area clients from that location and takes them back to the company's Carmel facility. The local water utility's second sample for the month of January, Anderson said, was dropped off in Greenfield on Jan. 23. About a month later, he said IDEM contact- ed him to tell him they had never received Environmental Laboratories’ testing results for that sample. According to Anderson, Environmental Laboratories was unable to locate the sample that had been left at the hotel on Jan. 23. The company could not say if its employee had picked up the sample and it had been misplaced after that, or whether something happened to it before it was picked up at the hotel. In his 23 years working for the See Mix-up, Page 2 Park May Get New Playground Gear by Jeff Eakins for The Banner With much of the playground equipment at Sunset Park having seen more than two decades of use, the Knightstown Parks and Recreation Board is hoping to find a way to start replacing some of the older items. Last week, at their Feb. 28 monthly meeting, park board members heard a presentation from Devin Shaffer, a regional sales executive for NVB Playgrounds Inc., Greenfield. Shaffer said his company designs playground equipment, which is then manufactured in China before being shipped back here for assembly and installation. "We do a little bit of everything," Shaffer told bard members. "... You can really get cre- ative. … We could match almost any structure that's out there on the market." He also said their equipment is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and would meet all other local, state and federal codes. Board President Suzee Neal asked Shaffer if any of the current playground equipment could be rehabilitated instead of replaced. Shaffer said he would look into that, but said rehabilitating older equipment is sometimes difficult due to the unavailability of replacement parts. "It's very unfortunate," Shaffer said, "but that's the way it is." Board member Jacob Hart asked about pric- ing. Shaffer said it might cost about $20,000 to replace the playground structure in the upper area of the park, not including installation. Neal said that she thought community members worked together to install playground equip- ment in the past in an effort to keep costs down. Shaffer left a catalog for board members to look over. As for examples of his company's work, he told them the town of Shirley had pur- chased a couple of items last year. Neal asked board members to review the materials Shaffer left prior to their March meet- ing. She also said that she and board member Jan McGuire would like to continue looking into applying for a grant through NineStar that could provide funding for new playground equipment. McGuire also said there may be grant money available through the Indianapolis Star and USA Today. On a motion made by Neal and seconded by Vice President Bruce Brown, the board voted 4- 0 to give Neal and McGuire permission to com- plete an application for the NineStar grant. Following the resignation of board member Ashley Lapham in late 2016, the park board still has a vacancy it is waiting for the Knightstown Town Council to fill. In other business at last week's meeting, Neal revealed that park board members had taken what she called "an emergency vote" last month via telephone and text messages, something prohibited by the state's Open Door Law. Under the ODL, official business, especially that requiring a vote by board members, must be See Playground, Page 10 Carthage Historic Preservation Group Holds First Meeting by Jeff Eakins for The Banner The Carthage Historic Preservation Commission, whose formation was approved by the Carthage Town Council in the fall of 2015, held its first meeting last week. The commission met at Carthage Town Hall for about an hour last Wednesday evening, with four of its five members present. Dave Kieser of Kieser Consulting Group LLC, a Lawrence-based firm work- ing with the town on planning and development issues, acted as a facilitator for the meeting, which began with members briefly introducing themselves. Members Chris Ebbert and Kathy Gross both said they had agreed to serve because they were interested in seeing "what it's all about," while Faith Green described herself as a self-professed "history nerd." Ashley Davis, who also serves on the Carthage Town Council, said she was prompted to join the commis- sion because she "cares about the town and its historic value." Following the introductions, Kieser told commission members that the resolution the town council passed in October 2015 approving cre- ation of the commission would need to be amended. As presently writ- ten the resolution requires commission members to be town residents, which would prevent Ripley Township resident Kathy Gibson, the com- mission's fifth member who, due to being out of state, did not attend last week's meeting, from serving. Kieser suggested that the town council be asked at its March 13 meet- ing to amend the resolution to allow Ripley Township residents who live outside the town's boundaries to also serve as members of the commission. That, how- ever, may be something that state law does not allow. According to the state statute that governs the cre- ation of historic preservation commissions by towns and other units of local government, "members must be residents" of the governmental unit forming the commission. Here, where the Carthage Town Council is acting to form a historic preservation commission for the town, that means the commission members must be town residents, as the town council's October 2015 resolution requires. The same state statute also clarifies a couple of other things the town council may need to address with respect to the his- toric preservation commission. First, the statute says the commission must be formed by ordinance, not a resolution like the town council passed almost a year-and-a-half ago. This is something that should be relatively See Preservation, Page 3 Kieser noted that Carthage has experienced some tough times in recent years, noting the closure of the bank, the elementary school and several businesses. However, he said it's hoped the collective efforts of the historic preservation commission, the town council and other local groups can reverse that trend.

town's water utility, Anderson saidthis is the first time he can recallsomething like this happening. Hesaid Environmental Laboratoriesapologized and told him they wouldmake every effort to ensure a prob-lem like this doesn't happen again.

“We go out of our way to makesure we're doing everything cor-rectly, following IDEM's standardsand making sure we're in compli-ance 100 percent,” Anderson said.“This is just a human error.”

As a result of IDEM not receiv-

ing the results of the Jan. 23 testingsample, Anderson is required topublish a legal notice in TheBanner announcing this violationand explaining what happened. Hetold The Banner he wants localwater customers to be assured therewas no immediate risk to theirhealth, and pointed out that testresults from the first sample inJanuary and the two in Februarywere all OK.

While news of the missing watersample was not something he waspleased to get, Anderson saidknowing about problems like that isessential so steps can be taken tolessen the chance of recurrence. Hedid say, however, that he wishedIDEM's notification of the missingsample had come sooner.

“The thing that upsets me is thatwe got results back from the twosamples in February before weeven heard that they didn't have theone (from Jan. 23),” Anderson said.“… My point to that is, if you had awater quality problem and therewas something wrong, are yougoing to wait this long to notify theguy who's in charge?”

easy to remedy by simply redesig-nating the resolution as an ordi-nance and having the council voteagain.

While the original resolutioncorrectly stated that commissionmembers need to be town residents,a couple of other items may need tobe changed to comply with statestatute. The resolution said thecommission would have a chair-man and a secretary, but statestatute actually requires a vicechairman instead of a secretary.Also, the state statute says historicpreservation commissions "shallhold regular meetings, at leastmonthly, except when it has nobusiness pending," whereas the res-olution said the commission wouldmeet at least three times a year.

Commission members voted atlast week's meeting to appointDavis as chairman. Kieser volun-teered to keep minutes of the meet-ings and said the commission mightappoint a secretary at its next meet-ing, but Green volunteered to fill

that role with no objections fromother members.

According to the resolution thetown council passed in 2015, thehistoric preservation commissionwas formed to:

*promote the educational, cul-tural, economic and general welfareof the public through the recogni-tion, enhancement and perpetuationof sites and districts of historicaland cultural significance;

*safeguard the town's historic,aesthetic and cultural heritage bypreserving sites and districts of his-torical and cultural significance;

*stabilize and improve propertyvalues;

*foster pride in the legacy ofbeauty and achievements of thepast;

*protect and enhance the town'sattractions to tourists and visitors,and the support and stimulus tobusiness they provide; and

*strengthen the economy of thetown.

"That's a big deal," Kieser said

at last week's meeting, after readingthrough this list of reasons why thetown council formed the historicpreservation commission. "Thereare a lot of historic properties herein town."

Kieser noted that Carthage hasexperienced some tough times inrecent years, noting the closure ofthe bank, the elementary school andseveral businesses. However, hesaid it's hoped the collective effortsof the historic preservation, the

town council and other local groupscan reverse that trend.

"It's never too little, too late,"Kieser said. "Now's the time tomake a stand."

I’m returning to the differencesbetween life today and the 1940sand 1950s when my nephew, JohnJones, and I were young.

One of the greatest changes hasbeen in family life, and I don’t likeit very much. However, from itsvery beginning, America has beena place of movement and change. Ithink about the Pilgrims, whoknew that they and their peopleback in England would probablynever see one another again.

Then came the westward migra-tion for land. During the 1820s, mymother’s pioneer ancestors trav-elled by oxcart to Michigantown inClinton County, settled farms andremained nearby. They never againsaw those whom they left behind inOhio. I knew several of Mother’suncles, her aunt Laura, andMother’s cousins as well as mycousins from the Gard side of myfamily. Now I no longer knowwhere they live or who’s alive.

My siblings remained in centralIndiana, and it was comforting tolive up close and personal withthem, their children and our neigh-bors. John and I share memories ofour rather humdrum lives. Some ofmy siblings and their children wereusually present at Mother’s roundoak dining table for noon Sundaydinner. Following World War II,the adults played penny ante poker.Often Beulah and Crack (Roy)Lawrence, who were relatives of

my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, showed up. I was given 20cents for the Sunday matinee at theAlhambra movie theater on thetown square and popcorn fromFlory’s next door.

The motto was, "Childrenshould be seen and not heard." Wechildren were required to be polite

to the adults, chat pleasantly withthem when they wished and listento their stories without rolling oureyes in boredom. Here are some ofJohn’s memories:

“Reading your column causesintrospection and shuffling aroundthrough the trunk of memories inmy mental attic. I remember as aboy before any of us had televi-sions, the adults would visit mostevenings. They would gossip, playcards, drink coffee or perhapssomething stronger and enjoy eachother’s company. I rememberGrandpa and Grandma - your mom

and dad - coming to visit when welived just a block north of them.Grandpa always had a penny to putin my little red, cast iron piggybank. (In my case, Grandpa Kellygave me an allowance of a dime aweek.)

Grandma and Grandpa’s househad a big porch swing ... In thesummer we would sit out on theporch in the cool of the evening tovisit with each other and those whowalked by. Everyone sat out ontheir porches and chatted with theirfamily, friends and neighbors.They weren’t hiding inside in theair conditioning as we do today.Of course, they didn’t have air con-ditioning, just electric fans - theones that you could put your entirehand through. I’m amazed that weweren’t all maimed by those fans.”

I, too, remember summerevenings on that long porch swing.After dark when I came home fromplaying bicycle slips or kick-the-can, Mother would sit out there inher nightgown while she, Daddyand I chatted as we swung gently.The Mattixes to the north, sistersMaude Newby and Effie Pittsacross the street, Gertrude Scovelland her mother on their glider, andthe Fraziers two doors south ofGertrude all sat out. Mother andMrs. Frazier giggled about thesighing and passionate goodnightkisses of a dating couple standing

Sturgill Simpson Surges at Grammy Awards

Dear Editor,For months now, citizens of Henry County have been inundated with

wind energy facts and data, from both sides of the wind energy debate.We have been warned of health hazards, wildlife catastrophes and eco-nomic stagnation or decline where wind turbines exist. (Who wouldwant to purchase a home with a turbine in your back yard?) We havebeen promised school subsidies and road improvements to entice us tojoin the big wind team. Who really benefits from these 500-plus footmonstrosities - Land owners who lease their property, as well as the windcompanies who collect big government subsidies! Who pays the price?We all do!

Counties surrounding us have addressed the wind issue with boththeir citizens and their economic growth in mind - Rush County,Delaware County and Whitley County, to name a few. Then there isHenry County! Our county government put together a committee tostudy responsible wind setbacks for our county, and the Henry CountyWECS Committee was born. This WECS committee was supposedlyestablished to represent our citizens and study guidelines and recom-mend responsible setbacks for our county. Instead of protecting ourcounty’s property owners and our future growth, this committee passedwind setbacks exactly as the wind turbine company wanted, word forword. This recommendation decreased our setbacks from 1,500 feet to1,250 feet from your home! Yes, this stinks of foul play!

Thursday, March 16, at 6 p.m., The Henry County PlanningCommission will allow time to hear from the public, and then votewhether to accept the (inadequate) recommendation from our WECSOrdinance review committee regarding the wind turbine setback dis-tance in the current WECS Ordinance.

Some points that we need to consider:Noise – Wind turbines and homes never mix well. If you think a mile

setback is a long distance for infrasound to travel, think again. Visual Impact – Most people think favorably of wind turbines until

they learn that they are very high impact and very low benefit.Decommissioning – Wind developers all use LLCs and they all prom-

ise the moon. They are in a highly speculative and unsustainable indus-try that is essentially a house of cards. To guarantee that someone isgoing to clean up the blight, you must require a performance bond andyou must mandate that the landowner is ultimately responsible fordecommissioning. These two requirements should be in every wind ordi-nance.

Don’t let your property value be stripped away by those few who willbenefit in a big way! Make your presence known and your voice heardbefore it is too late!

Dear Editor,Senate Bill 309, the controversial solar bill authored by Sen. Brandt

Hershman (R- Buck Creek), has garnered much deserved attention inrecent weeks. The discussion has centered around two questions: (1)whether the bill is anti-solar or pro-solar, and (2) whether the bill willprotect consumers or harm them.

Both questions are important, and both have articulate advocates andSee Letters, Page 11

Two years ago I discussed emerging OutlawCountry music superstar Sturgill Simpson. I’d justheard his then new album, Metamodern Sounds inCountry Music, which I thought was a real break-through for that musical genre.

Recently, Simpson’s third record, A Sailor’s Guideto Earth, won a Grammy Award for best country albumof the year. The release was also nominated for albumof the year, but lost to Adele’s Hello.

Nevertheless, A Sailor’s Guide toEarth signifies a major achievement,not only for Simpson, but for theOutlaw Country genre, which had fortoo long been overshadowed by itsglitzy, over-produced musical cousin,Contemporary Country.

Often thin, formulaic and litteredwith cliched themes and imagery,Contemporary Country lost me a longtime ago. Now it’s all cookie-cutterclones singing other people’s wordswhile often only pretending to be “realcountry.” They have - and sometimeschoose - colorful, rustic-sounding names that some-times sound more country than the music itself.

Contemporary Country star Brantley Gilbert hassuch a name. But, it’s at least his real name. Colt Ford,on the other hand, is a stage name taken by the ratherplain-sounding Jason Brown. Yes, Colt Ford soundsmuch more “country” than Jason Brown.

But, it’s phony, like much of Contemporary Countrymusic. There are some talented people making it, forsure. A little twang and southern drawl, however, can’thide the fact that it’s watered-down drivel aimed moreat making money than creating music.

That’s why Simpson is so refreshing. But, he’s notthe only one. Across musical genres, new artists are stillasserting their creative powers, daily releasing music

that’s original, sincere and sometimes profound.Trophies for Everyone?

I hear discussions about whether or not kids shouldget ribbons, medals or trophies for merely participatingin a sport or other activity. Some people think only theactual winning teams should get such awards, whileothers see no harm in giving out participation credits.

People against that practice argue that rewardingeach kid is folly because the world doesn’t work that

way. Winners are winners and losers arelosers. Rewarding kids for losing setsthem up for future failures, they say.

But, I disagree. The world is likethat, and in many ways. We apply this“everyone’s a winner” concept to awhole bunch of things. Take police,fire and military service members forexample. To almost every American,they’re all heroes - even though weknow there are several bad apples.

Another example of this practicecomes in the realm of some local

elected public officials, whose pay,according to state law, can only be increased - neverdecreased. Since their pay, by law, cannot be decreased,it implies each elected officials is a winner - all of ‘em!

Of course, this runs counter to what common sensetells us: that it’s not possible for everyone to be a win-ner. Yet, those are pretty extreme examples from theadult world. And when I put into context the practice ofawarding ribbons or trophies to kids who didn’t placefirst, second or third, I don’t think it’s such a big deal.

After all, American society loves to celebrate thosewho appear to be winners on the surface, but who, inreality, are anything but that.

Why deprive a kid of a smile, when, as a rule, wereward incompetence, arrogance and sometimes out-right malfeasance with more and more money?

Knightstown Native Terri Gorman Aims to HelpPeople Via Local Occupational Therapy Practice

THIS SECTION SPONSORED BY

MEETINGS CALENDAR

by Logan Coxfor The Banner

At Be Still and Heal Bodywork in Knightstown,Terri Gorman is making every effort to guide people,young and old, in maintaining their health and well-being.

"For people to be able to live as independently asthey can and engage in their dailyoccupations, no matter what theirdisability is or whatever is prevent-ing them from being able to do whatthey want to do in their life," saidGorman. "Whether it's work,leisure, play, or just to enjoy life."

Be Still and Heal offers thera-peutic and body work services forbabies, children and adults. Gormanalso offers sensory integration,myofascial release, craniosacraltherapy, wellness, among otherservices.

"I do a couple different thingsthere," she said. "I'm an occupation-al therapist, which I've done for 21years. The craniosacral therapy I'vedone since 2011, because I've always been lookingfor better ways to promote health and wellness."

Be Still and Heal has been open since April of2016, although Gorman worked out of her homeprior to relocating to her new center on 4 E. Main St.in Knightstown.

"My intention is to hold a space for healingprocesses throughout life's journeys and to facilitateeach individual's ability to allow his/her body to self-correct," Gorman said, explaining her goal.

Her most frequently requested service is the cran-iosacral therapy, but Gorman isn't stopping there.

"At this point, I've done more of the CranioSacraltherapy here. Which is wonderful, because I use itwith the clients I'm also doing occupational therapy

for," she said. "I look at the person in a holistic way,and tailor a treatment plan for them based on whattheir need and issue is, which can include a variety ofdifferent things."

She is also a complementary bodyworker longevi-ty and pediatric specialist trained in UpledgerCraniosacral Therapy, (CST), which is a light touch

approach that releases tensionsdeep in the body to relieve pain anddysfunction and improves whole-body health.

"I just recently became aMedicare provider," said Gorman."So I'm beginning to get referralsfrom physicians to provide more ofthe occupational therapy servicesfor people with arthritis in theirhands, back pain, memory loss. I'mbeginning to do more of that,because that is a good option forpeople who want to use theirMedicare benefit.

Gorman's desire to expand herknowledge and help people livetheir lives to the fullest has been a

lifelong quest. She feels this need to help others wasprimarily inspired by the example of her parents, andby her faith in God.

A cognitive impairment support group beganrecently at Be Still and Heal, where Gorman is ableto apply her years of training with people sufferingfrom dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimers disease,etc. This is to help them try to preserve their brainfunctions, so they can continue to do basic skills latein life.

"I wanted to start a support group to reach out tocaregivers and individuals themselves who arerecently diagnosed, or maybe even people whohave

conducted during public meetings.Neal said the vote had been to waive the Sunset Park shelter house

rental fee for a local family wanting to use it for a post-funeral dinner. Shesaid the family had hoped to use a local church for this, but that the churchwas hosting a similar function for another family and was not available.The park board, she said, did not have time to scheduled a meeting andtake a vote in the manner required by the ODL.

In an effort to remedy the improper vote, Brown and McGuire madeand seconded, respectively, a motion to approve, retroactively, the family'sfree use of the shelter house for their after-funeral dinner. The motionpassed 4-0.

Later in the meeting, Neal expressed her unhappiness with The Bannertaking note of the park board's violation of the ODL.

"Tonight, I'm struggling as a human being," Neal said. "... Why do I …continue to try with this much negativity."

Banner Publisher Eric Cox seemed puzzled by Neal’s comments. “Thepark board took a secret vote and broke the law, but The Banner is beingnegative for pointing it out? That makes no sense.” He stated that Nealcould avoid future “negativity” from the newspaper by simply followingstate law. “It’s pretty basic stuff,” he concluded.

In other business at last week's meeting, the park board:*discussed holding a bingo fundraiser at the shelter house in late April,

and other possible fundraising events, though no vote was taken;*asked Greg Bryze, who does cleaning at the park, to bring a revised

draft of his contract to the next meeting for the board's consideration;*OK'd use of the shelter house at a discounted rate for McGuire to use

for a string art class and for Terri Gorman to use for a cake decorating classon March 9, 16, 23 and 30;

*briefly discussed allowing the Knightstown High School HonorSociety do volunteer work at the park on Friday, April 21, but took novote; and

*received a request from Girl Scout leader Sylvia Hatfield, who wouldlike some of her Scouts to be able to do a project at the park - such asrepainting metal picnic tables in the lower part of the park - as part of theirefforts to obtain their Silver Awards, and asked that the Scouts attend theboard's March meeting with details of their planned work.

More information about last week's park board meeting can be found inthe memoranda and minutes of that proceeding. Those public recordsshould be available for inspection and copying at Knightstown Town Hall,26 S. Washington St., during normal business hours.

The next meeting of the Knightstown Parks and Recreation Board is setfor Tuesday, March 28, at 7 p.m. in the Sunset Park shelter house. Themeeting is open to the public.

One of the tasks the commissionwill have, Kieser explained, is hear-ing requests for the designation oflocal properties as "historically sig-nificant" and issuing plaques to thateffect. Such designations, he said,will not limit what owners can dowith their properties, but could havethe positive effects of people takingmore pride in their homes and possi-bly even receiving some tax benefits.

Letters, from Page 4reasonable people supporting opposite positions.However, the true question at the core of this debateis: who should be able to enjoy the economic bene-fits associated with the endless energy from the sun?Stated more succinctly, who owns the sunshine inIndiana?

Citizens Action Coalition believes the sunshinebelongs to all of us. Everyone, big and small, shouldbe afforded the choice to invest their own money inlow-cost solar energy, and the opportunity to be par-ticipants in the new energy economy.

This includes businesses, farmers, and homeown-ers seeking to reduce their electric bills and maketheir goods and services more competitive.Municipalities and schools struggling with reducedrevenues now see solar and other renewable energyas an opportunity to redirect scarce resources to theirmissions of serving the public and being good stew-ards of taxpayer dollars.

And yes, "all of us" includes the monopoliescharged with the awesome responsibility of keepingthe lights on 365/24/7. CAC applauds the electricutilities in Indiana for their decisions to voluntarilyinvest millions in utility-scale solar to meet the needsof their customers by providing carbon-free and low-cost electricity, courtesy of the sun.

SB309 threatens this reality of sharing an abun-dant and free resource for the benefit of all. The billis a one-sided approach which effectively shifts theeconomic benefits of solar energy solely to themonopolies and the monopolies alone, while depriv-ing the public at large, and the marketplace, fromreaping the economic benefits of Hoosier sunshine.SB309 reduces consumers’ control over their energycosts and reduces competition in the marketplace,which will only stand to drive up costs for everyoneand reduce investment and jobs in our State.

Everyone agrees that solar energy is here to stay.As the price of solar has dropped exponentially inrecent years, installations and investments in solar areincreasing at a rapid pace. Indeed, the solar industry iscreating jobs at a rate twelve times faster than the U.S.economy. Those facts are not in dispute. Solar energywill be a major contributor to the energy mix and theeconomy for a very long time, if not forever.

But the question asked here is one that the Indiana

General Assembly should take very seriously anddeal with in a meaningful and thoughtful way. Willour elected officials block the sun from the publicand give the monopolies the exclusive right to thevalue of the sun’s rays? Or will the legislature recog-nize what is really at stake here and create rules thatare fair for all and which create a competitive playingfield where all are invited to the game?

Dear Editor,While serving in the U.S. Marine Corps during the

Korean War, I spent some time stationed in Barstow,Calif. This was mostly a civil service base where usfew Marines mostly lived off base. But, we got toknow the older civil service people as family.

When I remarked about being from Indiana, one76-year-old man said his father was born in Indiana -a town called Cleveland. Another Marine said, “Youmean Cleveland, Ohio?” I said, “No, I live very nearCleveland, Indiana. It’s on U.S. 40 and has a religiouscampground as a big part.”

Through his 76-year-old son, I became a closefriend to his elderly father. I sent questions and gotreal answers. In his teens, the old-timer had movedfrom Cleveland to Barstow.

Here is what I learned from that old gentleman.About all the land (in and around Cleveland) was

once woods, mostly beech trees. There was a stretchof road called the Cordorroy Road, where beech logshad been broad axe-flattened on one side to enable ahorse and buggy to go over a swampy section. Therewere trails through the beech woods made by buffa-lo. You had to keep your livestock locked in securebuildings at night because of bears, big cats andwolves. No one went out after dark for fear of thebears. You kept a lantern handy if nature made you goto the outhouse. Kerosene lamps were your onlylights, or you made candles from beef tallow (yellowfat) poured into a candle mold. They did their laundryin a hand cradle rocker washer, using lye soap madefrom beef fat and lye from ashes.

I guess we should all be grateful for having life soeasy. I’m 85 years old.

Dear Editor,The Henry County Commissioners passed a Motion to form a com-

mittee to review the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) ordi-nance. This committee was charged with reviewing the entire ordinance.

Synopsis of a failed committee:*July 28, 2016 – organizational meeting – notebooks on table for

committee members.*August 4, 2016 – All public comment.*August 18, 2016 - Chairman Jacobs reads prepared statement. A list

of four topics was at each place. 1. Name one issue or area, if any, of our current code that you feel

needs revision.2. Are there areas that you feel would be outside the committee scope

of work?3. What specific areas would you like to learn more about?4. Is there anything that you have researched that would be helpful to

other committee members?Corey Murphy, the EDC director, felt there was nothing to discuss.

No further research was done.*Sept. 13, 2016 – Passed the one recommendation made by Steve

Dugger, seconded by Corey Murphy, to set setbacks to a minimum of1250 feet from dwelling or 1.1 X the turbine to any property line. Passed4-3.

*Nov. 22, 2016 – Voted to send recommendation of Steve Dugger toplanning commission and to dissolve committee. Passed 4-2.

No protections were made for hospitals, airports, schools, nursinghomes, churches, towns, parks, 4-H grounds, golf courses, etc. There isno zoning difference between Ag-1 or Res-1.

Citizens, that is how you may end up with a 500 foot wind turbine onthe 18th hole, on the hospital helipad, by the swing set in the school yard,blowing the door open for you at church, spooking the horses at the park,sharing your picnic basket, keeping the old folks awake, etc. I am beingfacetious, but turbines will be close enough to be a safety and health haz-ard and will inhibit the growth of our towns and county.

fear that they're beginning to havesome short-term memory impair-ments," she said. "What can I do togive them ideas, ways to try toslow the process, all kinds ofadvice for caregivers, for the indi-viduals themselves or anyone con-cerned. Because it's a growingproblem in society."

She has also considered startinganother support group for younger

people who are on the autism spec-trum, an issue she is equally pas-sionate about.

"I plan on bringing in specialtyspeakers to address the subject,"said Gorman. "I'll be the facilitator,but I want it to be a sharing group.So they kind of see what the needis out there. I've got personal andprofessional experience in this, andI know how isolated caregivers can

be and how overwhelming it canbe."

Gorman lives about five milessouth of Knightstown.

"I have a Carthage address, but Idon't live in Carthage," she said. "Ikind of live out in no man's land onRushville Road."

Gorman has been in HenryCounty for most of her life. Shelived in Greenwood for 30 years,but moved back home after herdaughter went off to college.

She graduated fromKnightstown High School in1974.
