It’s just white noise now, the drone of tens of thousands of bees beating their wings in unison, fanning the hive she maintains. Theirs is a music that fades into the background, all part of the soundtrack of the small forest surrounding Horn’s rural Greenfield home just north of the Shelby County line.

it’s a cushy life for the queen, whose only job is to lay eggs. Drones are there for mating, then forced from the hive once they’ve served their purpose. Worker bees do just that — work in every capacity, feeding and bathing the queen, collecting nectar, storing the honey and more. Harvesting that honey and prepping it for sale is a multi-step process and a bit of an investment, not so much in money but time, Horn explained. Horn visits her hives often to check the bees’ progress, waiting until just

the right moment when the honeycomb is ready to collect. the bees are hard at work from spring to fall, flying to and from the hive to collect and drop off nectar from nearby flowers and other blooming plants. During each trip, the nectar is stored in the bee’s honey stomach, where the body produces an enzyme that begins to break down the plant sugar, the first step of turning the nectar to honey. When the bees return to the hive, worker bees receive the loot.

Parker Horn burns wood in a small container, the smoke from which is used to calm bees during harvesting of honey.

“Somebody meets them at the door, so to speak,” Horn said. The worker bees take the nectar and place it in a small cell inside the waxy honeycomb. The bees then fan their wings rapidly to dry the substance into a honey-like consistency. When the honey is properly thickened, the bees seal the cell with a small wax cap. It’s that cap Horn keeps an eye out for — the bees’ signal their work is done. Harvesting the honey is a process that begins with calming the hive, whose residents become agitated upon approach. It’s important to walk toward the hive from the side, Horn said, as someone blocking the sunlight at the front could be perceived as a predator. Even with protective gear — canvas gloves, a hard plastic hat and a mesh veil that covers the beekeeper’s face — the risk of being stung is always there. A second set of hands makes for quicker work, so Horn corralled her son, Parker, to join her at the hives on a recent afternoon. Getting stung Parker manned the smoker while Horn pulled

out wooden frames crawling with bees. Each man-made frame contains a foundation upon which the bees build the honeycomb. If the cells are capped off, the frame is removed. If not, the frame is placed back in the hive — gently so as not to squash any bees — so the bees can finish what they started. The bees swarm about the boxes as their home is disturbed. Hearing the buzz was unnerving at first, Horn said, but she’s learned to recognize when there’s real trouble — the pitch goes up a hair and gets much, much louder. Otherwise, she just busies herself checking the hive, paying little attention to the hum in the background. “You don’t even notice that they’re making a sound anymore,” she said. You get over the occasional stings, too, her son added. For someone who isn’t allergic, fear of landing on the wrong end of a bee’s stinger is far worse than the damage it does, he said. “It’s the anticipation,” he said. (Of course, there’s an epinephrine pen in the house for visitors, just in case someone discovers an allergy the hard way.)

Debbie and son Parker work together as they check one of their beehives. The harvested honey is then bottled and sold to local vendors.

Some people tend their hives without any protective gear at all. “Me?” Horn said. “I’m a wuss.” Once the frames are removed, the pair hop in the car. Horn drives north on State Road 9 to U.S. 40 and hangs a right. She heads to the home of Tom Ferguson, who has served as her beekeeping mentor since she started with the hobby three years ago.

Acting like Pooh Ferguson gets questions every so often from someone wanting to start a hive. He ignores the first request on purpose. “Because I don’t think they understand there’s work involved,” he explained. In Horn’s case, persistence paid off, and Ferguson helped her get started. Today, she uses some of his honey-harvesting equip-

ment after removing the frames from her hives. Ferguson’s electric knife takes just a few moments to heat, and then Horn uses it to gently slice off the wax caps holding in the honey. It’s hard to resist popping a dripping piece or two into your mouth as you go along, she admits. With the cells open and glistening with honey, Horn places the frames into

a manual centrifuge and closes the lid. The crank on the top of the device spins the cylinder, slinging the honey against the side. Gravity does the rest, and within moments, honey drips from a spout at the bottom and passes through a filter. It looks just like what you buy at the store when it comes out of the spout, but it tastes even better, Ferguson said.


“My grandson’ll sit on his haunches like Pooh Bear,” dipping his fingers into the honey, Ferguson said. the honey passes through the filter and drips into a bucket. old plastic ice cream tubs work just fine, Horn has found. the honey is then left out for a few days, during which time any leftover wax rises to the top to be skimmed off. Flavor varies Getting those honey buckets home is perhaps the most harrowing part of the process, Horn joked. Her biggest fear has always been getting into an accident with buckets full of honey in the back seat.

“you might not even have a dent in your car — it’d be totaled,” she said. “can you imagine?” once the honey is bottled, it’s ready to be sold. no two bottles are exactly the same, Horn explained. the flavor depends on what

the bees have been eating. nectar from an apple orchard, for example, will produce apple-blossom honey. Different flowers also affect the color of the honey. one thing never changes, though, Horn said. raw

honey always tastes sweeter than anything off the shelf. she’ll put it on her rice krispies in the morning, and it sweetens up any kind of tea, she added. “you put a little on your tongue; the aroma just fills your whole sinuses and everything,” she said. even three years in, Horn remains fascinated by the process. it’s strange to think the creatures hard at work in the white wooden box create something that ends up on a shelf in the pantry – and over her breakfast cereal. “Bee culture, if that’s what you want to call it, is really interesting,” she said. and of course, “i just love honey.”

Discover Hancock county starks has been making soap to sell at local farmers markets for the past few years. on a recent afternoon in the kitchen of her historic farmhouse, she joked that she would have been happy living at the turn of the century, when making your clothes, food, soap — all manner of things — was a way of life, instead of a hobby. “i feel like i was born 100 years too late,” she said. starks became interested in making soap a few years ago after attending a class offered in Hancock county about cold process soap-making, a process she still uses. to start, she lines up on her counters everything she needs to create one of the 11 types of soap she makes. “i make all the soap right here in the kitchen like a mad scientist,” starks said. a good rule of thumb is to do your research ahead of time. a quick internet search will pull up a variety of methods and recipes. then make sure your measurements are precise,

oatmeal soap Ingredients: • 32 ounces cold water • 12 ounces lye • 24 ounces coconut oil • 38 ounces palm oil • 24 ounces olive oil • 8 ounces oatmeal

Instructions While wearing gloves and goggles, mix cold water and lye together in an oven-safe bowl. Note: Mixture will heat quickly and create toxic fumes. Set aside to cool to 90-115 degrees. While mixture is cooling, heat oils on the stove to 90-115 degrees; then combine with lye and water mixture until blended well. Using a handheld mixer, continue to mix as soap mixture begins to thicken. Mix in oatmeal. Pour soap mixture into lined mold and let cure for at least 24 hours. Cut into bars.

and have an accurate scale and thermometer on hand, she said. “and always, always, always follow the directions,” she said. cold process soap-making requires just three ingredients to start — lye, water and oil. optional additives, such as mint,

lavender, chamomile, calendula, hemp and oatmeal, make the soap smell good and carry medicinal properties, she said. ‘i’m still learning’ starks doesn’t travel far to find items to create her favorite fragrances. a large herb and flower

garden sits outside her kitchen window. “i like to create things, and i don’t like to go to the store much,” starks said. “i like to do my own thing if i can. i’m still learning (about soap) and always experimenting with new items from the garden.” she starts her soapmaking by combining 32 ounces of cold water and 12 ounces of lye in a large pitcher. While she stirs the lye into the water, wisps of toxic fumes waft up. cautious as ever, she avoids the dangerous misty tendrils while carefully continuing to stir the two ingredients together. the mixture will get very hot very quickly, she said, “easily ... 200 degrees.” the clear mixture is then placed to the side. While it cools to the needed 98 degrees, she starts to heat the oil on the stove. she uses three oils in her soap: olive, sustainable palm and coconut. the recipe for this soap calls for 24 ounces of coconut oil, 38 ounces of palm oil and 24 ounces of olive oil.

Using a large, blue-speckled pot on the stove, all three oils are added together and heated until melted. While making sure both the water and lye mixture and three-oil mixture are between 90 and 115 degrees, she carefully combines the two. Like the pioneers A handheld mixer will save time and energy, she said. Having the small piece of machinery is the one modern tweak she’s made. “This is exactly how the pioneers would have made soap,” she said. Then — glancing down at her mixer — “except I don’t mix it by hand. It would take forever.” Starks mixes the ingredients until they “trace,” a state of consistency she said is hard to explain unless you’ve seen soap made. “Trace is when, well, you just know when it is,” she said. Simply put, trace is when the soap is firm enough to support a drizzled design on the top of the mixture. Additives, if you want them, come last. Starks occasionally uses oatmeal, which soothes irritated skin, or essential oils, which give the soap a pleasant smell. Another tip from Starks — always use dried herbs. They smell the best, she said. Once trace is achieved, the thick soap mixture is poured into a mold, covered and left to cure for at least 24 hours before being hand-cut into bars.

Carolyn has been making soap for only a couple of years and is a 15-year member of the Herb Society.

a chemical reaction called saponification neutralizes the lye over the course of 24 hours. Just don’t ask starks to explain exactly how that all works. “the lye is still in there doing its thing while it cures,” starks said. “i don’t

know where it goes, but — chemistry!” the longer the soap cures, the more it hardens and the longer it will last. ‘Better than anything’ starks likes that her soap is chemical-free and made from herbs she grew, cut

i t ' S

and dried on her own farm. the 15-year Hancock county Herb society member even raises bees for honey, which she sometimes adds to her soap. Paul starks, her husband of 47 years, also enjoys the natural ingredients of the handmade soap. He uses the soap daily and loves that his wife makes it in their kitchen. the soap is also gentle, which Paul starks, a skin cancer patient, appreciates. “i like it better than anything i’ve ever got at the store,” he said. “i think it smells better, and it doesn’t hurt my skin at all.” sara Whitaker of Fortville recently bought a bar of starks’ soap at a local

m a d e

farmers market and said she’s switching to homemade soap permanently. “Before i started using it, i thought soap was just soap, but this is different,” she said. “it’s mild and doesn’t irritate my skin. Most have too much perfume. i think it’s better than the soap in the grocery store.” starks admits she’s unsure of the exact science behind the process — she flunked chemistry in college — but maybe that’s part of the magic. “i don’t plan on stopping, even if i don’t understand saponification exactly,” starks said. “it’s just so fascinating that you can mix these things together, and it makes soap.”

Local company combines science, creativity to make unique beers By Caitlin VanOverberghe Staff Writer

Jason swift is one of a growing number of americans who have taken on craft beer brewing. For him, it started as a hobby and became a livelihood. He looks at home standing next the super-sized stainless steel vats where his company’s brews are boiled and talks modestly about the effort it took him and Wooden Bear’s co-owners — Dan noah, kurt sundling and Brent sandquist — to grow their brewery from separate makeshift setups in their homes to the establishment now housed in downtown Greenfield.

each batch of beer, at its most basic, contains grains, yeast and water, swift said, holding a small glass of the amber liquid in his hand. Hops, grain-like flowers formed into pellets for the brewing process, and other ingredients are added for flavor. the finished product, much like the brewery where it’s made, depends based on the time and talent put into the process of developing it. “this isn’t a bar, as far as i’m concerned,” swift said. “i think there is a difference between a brewery and bar;

and I don’t do bars. From day one, we wanted this to be a place where people could come and bring their kids. That’s what craft beer is about. You don’t really get the hard-drinking crowd.” Soak, season, stir Brewing takes four primary ingredients and four main steps, but mixed in are countless recipes and techniques, brewers said. Several types of grain are commonly used in beer, according to Sandquist, who works closely with the brewing team. These include barley, oats, wheat and rye. Various mixtures of grains produce different flavors, colors and consistencies. The first step in brewing is a bit like making tea. The grains are soaked in hot water for roughly an hour during a process called mashing. Here, sugars are extracted from within the grains to form the beer’s base liquid, Sandquist said. Mashing typically is done in a pot called a mash tun, which has a false bottom where the grains settle. Toward the end of the soaking, more warm water is sprinkled over the settled grains to ensure all the

m a d e

sugary liquid — called wort — is separated. The grains are removed, and the liquid is put in a kettle, where it boils, Sandquist said. Wooden Bear has four 100-gallon kettles, Swift said, which allows the brewery to produce beer more quickly. The company orders its grains and hops from all over the United States. Brewers also purify the water in house, which allows them to stay true to the different styles of beer, Swift said. As the wort boils, hops are added to the liquid in different stages and quantities to give the beer its taste, Sandquist said. Hops have a harsh flavor on their own but balance the sweetness of the wort. “If hops are added early, (the beer’s taste) will be bitter,” Sandquist said. “If it’s added later, it gives the beer a more distinct smell.” Once the wort has boiled for about an hour, it is quickly chilled to 70 degrees, by putting the pot into a bin of cold water, for example. Yeast is added, and the mixture sets for the fermentation process, Sandquist said.

Jay Boyd takes a moment to take in the aroma of a recent batch of dark ale. (Pictured on facing page) Hops, grain-like flowers, flavor the beer during the brewing process.

Here, the remaining sugar is converted into alcohol by the yeast, he said. The length of fermentation can vary based on several brewing factors, including the type of yeast, how much is added and the

temperature of the beer. When fermentation is complete, the finishing touch is to add carbonation, Sandquist said. The brews are bottled or put into kegs and are ready to be served.

Home-brewing follows the same basic steps as professional brewing but on a much smaller scale. rather than 100-gallon kettles and other specialized equipment at professional breweries, large pots on the kitchen stove are used for home-brewing. swift said he and the other Wooden Bear owners each started off as home brewers. they sampled 1,300 beers in roughly three years when they were starting. they made lists of flavors and styles they enjoyed and eventually realized the craft beers they were brewing at home could hold their own against those made by professionals. now, 16 of Wooden Bear’s 24 taps are house brews, swift said, created from the

owners’ original recipes. But there are other ways to learn the art of brewing. eilise Lane, ceo of scarlet Lane Brewing co. in Mccordsville, attended the american Brewers Guild while living in oregon. the classroom-based program required her to complete 18 months of lessons, practical examinations and apprenticeships.

group for professional brewers that works to set industry standards and best practices. More than 3,400 small craft breweries now exist in the united states, and more open regularly. Hancock county’s two breweries are growing, as well, and their owners often share ideas. new equipment has allowed Wooden Bear to double its brewing capacity in the past few months. it has begun to distribute beers to be served at other breweries in central indiana. scarlet Lane, too, has many of its original brews on taps in other establishments. the company receives inquiries regularly about when its beers will be available in bottles and cans for sale at retail stores. the owners have those ambitions, swift said. But, for now, they are content to stick to the basics: creating unique brews that will bring Greenfield’s beerlovers together. “We just want to make really good beer and have fun,” swift said.

For the love of llamas

McCarty demonstrates the technique she uses to spin fleece from her llamas and alpacas into yarn.

Local artisan turns fleece into hand-made treasures here was just something about the llamas. As a keeper and educator at the Indianapolis Zoo, Fortville resident Eran McCarty was always attracted to the funny-looking creatures with long ears and big teeth. So it wasn’t surprising when she started a farm and began raising By SAMM llamas and alpacas after she QUINN and her family moved from Staff Irvington to rural Fortville Writer more than a decade ago. When she began using the llamas’ fleece to make yarn, her husband, Scott, offered to buy her a sweater — but she had discovered a hobby she loved. Now, nearly 15 years later, her home is filled with spinning wheels, looms and piles of yarn. She spends hours at her spinning wheel, carefully feeding fleece fibers into the machine to create strands of yarn, later used to craft mittens, shawls and hats for loved ones.

behind McCarty’s home. It’s full of llamas — most of which she’s raised — a few alpacas and several other farm animals. Each spring, her llamas get a bath. Just like a car wash, she breaks

out a hose and shampoo and gives them a good cleaning. After nearly a year spent living in the barn, they’re typically quite dirty, and hay tends to get caught in their fleece.

About a week later — after the fleece has had time to normalize — she breaks out the shears. Then she puts the llamas in a metal contraption that helps to keep the animal still.

Discover Hancock County The shears don’t hurt the llamas; in fact, a little trim is much appreciated. It helps keep them cool during hot and humid Indiana summers, McCarty said. “They enjoy their spa day,” she said. Each llama’s belly is shaved from its hips to its front legs — the spot where the prime fleece grows. Shearing her llamas, a chore that needs to be done before summer, is what led to her learning to handcraft yarn. “I had all this fuzz,” she said, adding that one llama can yield from 1.5 to 8 pounds of fleece. “I had to learn to do something with it.” The fleece is soft, short and lightweight and is a bit crimped. She sends the fleece to a fiber mill, where it’s cleaned and turned into roving — a long, narrow bundle of fleece. She could do it herself by hand, she said, but it’s time-consuming. “I’d be here forever doing it,” she said. “It’s worth the money to have someone else do it.” Once the fleece is sent back to her, it’s ready to be spun into yarn. Spinners can use a spinning wheel or a spindle to create bobbins of yarn; the first is typically faster. All she’s doing is twisting the fibers — which stick together naturally — McCarty said. The spindle or spinning wheel does all the work; her hands just pinch, glide and pull the roving and feed it into the spindle or wheel. Plying the yarn once it’s spun makes it stronger and more balanced, she said.

McCarty poses with a favorite shawl she created by hand.

To ply the yarn, the spinner takes two or more strands and twists them together in the direction opposite to the way it was spun. Once the yarn is spun, it can be woven or knitted to make items such as blankets, hats and mittens. Susan Markle, a close friend, helped McCarty perfect her craft. The two share a love of llamas and met during a llama show more than 10 years ago. Markle opened The Trading Post for Fiber Arts in Pendleton several years ago and has taught others the art of spinning and weaving. For her, the craft is relax-

ing and at times therapeutic. Markle said she learned to knit at a young age, so spinning and weaving came naturally. She wanted to own llamas and learn to spin so she could make items and tell the recipients how they were made. “It’s very relaxing, and it gives you something to do so you’re not completely wasting your time, watching TV,” she said with a laugh. Now she’s surrounded herself with a community of spinners, including McCarty, who all enjoy the same art. McCarty said she doesn’t weave or knit much to sell the products, but they do make nice gifts.

• D i s c o v e r H a n c o c k C o u n t y 2 015

What she really loves, however, is the yarn. She said it’s a finished product, meaning it doesn’t have to be made into anything. In her home, some yarn just sits in baskets, waiting for someone to reach out and touch the soft fibers. Her llamas tend to have really fine fleece, she said, making the craft of spinning it into yarn easier. But it’s not a skill most folks master overnight. It takes practice. “All of a sudden you get that ‘aha!’ moment,” she said. “Your fingers feel it — that’s how much pressure, that’s when to let go — and once you get that, it’s not hard at all.”

Just steps from his home, he runs Dickinson Woodworking, a family-operated company that produces handmade furniture, kitchenware and accessories. By Daniel What began as a hobby when Dickinson was Morgan in high school has expanded into a full-time job. Staff He purchased the property from his parents Writer when they wanted to downsize, and he built the workshop in 2003 with the help of his father, an engineer. He opened his business shortly after. Dickinson specializes in kitchenware, particularly cutting boards and serving spoons, but produces custom cabinetry and furniture upon request. He sells much of his work at local markets and craft shows but also retails items through an online store and distributes to shops nationwide.

Discover Hancock county though Dickinson said the work can grow tedious — he regularly logs 12-hour workdays — he can’t imagine any other career for himself. “i couldn’t ever see myself sitting at a desk full time,” said Dickinson, whose wife, kiyomi, manages the finances and distribution of goods. “i love putting the gloves on, working with my hands and making quality products that can be used for generations.” Dickinson sources his wood from indiana mills and prefers using varieties that are native to the state, particularly ash, cherry and walnut. He selects the logs he uses through a lumber supplier then he sends the logs to be milled and air and kiln dried. once the wood is delivered to his property, located off county road 200W, he cuts it into manageable pieces and stores the logs in a barn. the process of producing a cutting board begins by collecting similarly sized strips of wood — often scraps from other projects

— and gluing them to create a board. the strips typically are glued together horizontally, but he also produces herringbone and checkerboard patterns, which take a little more care to craft. once assembled into a sheet, he cuts the sides flush, carves in grooves or silhouettes, then rounds the edges with a sander. next, he dunks the boards into tubs of water to raise

the grain. this causes the fibers to swell and helps seal the wood, which helps prevent mold, he said. Dickinson then gives the piece another sanding, which he said prevents the wood from becoming fuzzy or rough when washed. “it’s an extra step we take to get a higher-end finished product,” he said. to complete the boards, Dickinson coats them in curing oil and leaves them

to dry. He initials and writes the varieties of wood used on the back, so anyone looking for details about the piece doesn’t have to go far. each cutting board includes at least five kinds of wood. selling goods at art fairs and craft shows allows him to make a connection with customers, Dickinson said. “People like to know the story of where something came from,” he said. “it makes it easier to appreciate it, and it’s nice to match a face to the product.” Wooden mugs, one of his most popular items, are made in a similar manner. scraps of wood are glued into blocks then mounted on a lathe — a machine used to cut, sand or drill wood. as the block spins, Dickinson sends wood chips flying across the shop, using turning gouges to carve the shape of the mug. He then sands and oils the mug before inserting a stainless steel cup, which is then sealed to the wood so it can be used for drinking — not just as a decorative piece.

and every new product gets a test drive. “We use all of our products ourselves in our own kitchen before selling them,” his wife said. “We’ll give them out to family members and friends and tell them to use it and let us know what needs to be changed.” Dickinson hires parttime help as needed. Jason knoop, an indianapolis teacher and lifelong friend, works in the shop during summer break. “i spent a lot of time at this place with aaron as a kid, so it’s great to come back and be able to help out,” he said. “it’s relaxing in a sense. i don’t spend a lot of time sitting in the

classroom. i’m all over the place there. so it’s nice to escape the intensity of the classroom and not have to keep track of a bunch of students.” the work sometimes helps him relax, knoop said, but there’s one thing he can’t ever escape: the sawdust. “it’s a lost cause,” he said with a laugh. “you can try to blow it off with some of the tools, but it doesn’t matter. it gets everywhere.” though he didn’t intend to open a fully operational business on his property, Dickinson said he’s happy with the way it’s unfolded. “i’m connected to this place,” he said. “i’ve lived here my entire life, plus

them dunk cutting boards into the water or hammer nails into blocks of wood,” he said. “it’s great having them so close.” though he enjoys the comforts of home, Dickinson said, he knows if the company continues to expand, he’ll need to move operations to a larger, commercial property. “But moving is probably a far way off,” he added. though both parents said they don’t want to pressure either child into taking over the business, it’s certainly a possibility. “My son always says when he grows up he’s gonna work in the shop,” kiyomi Dickinson said. “Just like Daddy.”

Flurry of Activities Coalition seeks to build on popularity of downtown-area festivals fter a year-long planning process, Greenfield adopted a comprehensive revitalization plan in 2013 charting the city’s course for the future with a reinvented downtown envisioning urban living, literary trails and walkable, By Jim Mayfield connected hubs linking the city’s assets. Contributor But the rub was getting the plan off the drawing board and reaping tangible results before the inspiration became just so many lines on a big blueprint. To jumpstart the vision, the Greenfield Coalition, a broadbased group of community stakeholders, was formed last November to move the plan forward and provide input along the way. With all the moving parts in Hancock County’s redevelopment machine, the coalition is designed to be the central hub in the wheel and make sure everyone is on the same page. “It’s a communication tool for all the groups that are working out there,” said city planning director Joanie Fitzwater.

The group held its inaugural meeting in January and in short order secured $44,000 from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the city and the Hancock County Visitors Bureau to begin work on a “Living Alley” between North and Main streets. Though still in the conceptual stage, preliminary ideas are driving the empty spaces east of the Lincoln Square Pancake House between the city’s two major thoroughfares toward a landscaped, lighted promenade that will serve as a draw for families to the downtown area.

painted two-wheelers festooned with flowers and even horse saddles to herald the spring’s arrival in Greenfield. During the last year, the city has seen a number of festivals and events occurring downtown, all of which are efforts to connect visitors with the city’s identity and keep traffic and dollars within Hancock County. “Elanco has 1,500 hotel visits annually,” Fitzwater said. “We need to figure out how to connect to those visitors and that business.” Greenfield Main Street has been partnering with the city parks department,

Hancock County Arts and Cultural Council, Hancock Regional Hospital and other civic stakeholders to offer events and festivals designed to bring traffic and interest downtown. May brought the North Street Fitness Festival with cooking and fitness presentations, live music, the Colts Play 60 Zone and a three-onthree basketball tournament to the corner of North and Main streets, an area planners see as downtown’s festival venue of the future. Other events included the city’s annual Chalk Fest. A Beatles theme marked the 50th anniversary of the Fab

Four’s first U.S. performance with amateur artists of all ages sketching their work on city sidewalks. The National Road Garage Sale was held once again, and the Pennsy Trail Art Fair and Music Festival, which ran for its 13th year in June, featured live music, a 5K run, art exhibits and local fare. For those involved in putting a new face on the historic downtown district, it’s all about keeping the momentum. “It’s been going well,” Swift said. “I think all the festivals have been wellattended in terms of vendors and visitors.”

pennsy trail One block south of Main Street, Greenfield and Cumberland The Pennsy Trail is a paved path following the roadbed of the former Pennsylvania Railroad. The trail is intended for walking, jogging, biking and in-line skating. Historical markers show points of interest along the way. In Greenfield and just east and west of the city, the trail is a six-mile path. It runs between County Road 150W and County Road 400E. Another segment, the Cumberland Pennsy Trail, which runs from near County Road 600W in Hancock County to German Church Road in Marion County, opened in 2010. A segment just west of County Road 600W that was incomplete was finished in the summer of 2014. The trail now extends to County Road 600W.

Generally speaking Hancock County’s current population estimate, according to the latest updates from the U.S. Census Bureau, stands at 71,978, up from 70,002 in 2010 and a 58 percent increase from 1990. Women account for just fewer than 51 percent of that number. The largest demographic in terms of age includes the 45-49 bracket, accounting for 8.4 percent of the county’s total population. Nearly 9 percent of county residents drive a car, truck or van to work; 86 percent of those commuters drive to work alone. 7.6 percent of the county’s population is below the poverty level, which is less than half the statewide poverty level rate of 15.8 percent.

agriculturally rooted The country’s last comprehensive agriculture tally showed Hancock County following the national trend of dwindling farms but increased efficiency. There were 604 farms tallied in the county, a 12 percent drop from 2007 when there were 686 Hancock County farms. Land and total acres in farms also dropped by 3 percent over that five-year span; however, the market value of the county’s crops jumped a significant 27 percent to $110.4 million. Consolidation increased the average size of the local farm from 250 acres to 275 acres, and top crops continued to be corn for grain, soybeans, hogs and pigs. Hancock County farming continues to be a male-dominated endeavor with only 57 female ag operators of the county’s 604 farms. New blood in the farming sector continues to lag with the average age of a Hancock County farmer standing at almost 57 years old.

stage beside the likes of his good friend Mark Twain. The riley Home and the adjacent Museum provide many artifacts of riley’s life and times and offer a glimpse into the origin of his works. There’s the old Log Jail, whose nail-spiked wooden cells housed the outlaws of the 1850s through early 1870s and the Chapel in the Park, a restored 19th Century church. Both these museums house substantial collections of early Indiana artifacts from the pioneer days, through the Civil War and into the 20th Century. Historic Fortville is home to Dyer organ Works, housing an impressive collection of elaborate wall-sized calliopes and crank-operated mechanical organs, playing music from folded card mechanisms. sitting on the county line, shirley is the site for “Dr. Wilson’s office: A Country Doctors Museum,” where the world of early rural medicine and its practitioners are well preserved; the shirley railroad Museum, recalling the days of the locomotive when steam power ruled the rails; and the Jane ross reeves octagon House. Whether visitors -- from out of state or just out of town -- spend just a few hours or several days touring these museums, they are likely to be surprised how much there is to see and learn about the heritage and the development of Central Indiana right here in the cities and towns of Hancock County -- a history-laden county that is bisected by the young nation’s very first “interstate” highway, the Historic national road.

eDucation going Digital

young learners Benefit from tecHnology trenD

By Daniel morgan staff writer

he past year has seen steady progress on the effort to equip young learners with devices to enhance their education. As students across the county prepare for the start of school, all districts are now embracing some form of digital curriculum that will place computers in the hands of thousands of students this fall. Two county school systems – Eastern and Southern Hancock – have advanced one-to-one programs.

Every southern Hancock student has a device to use for study; at Eastern, students from sixth grade through high school have computers, and the district plans to expand the program. Proponents of the programs argue they level the playing field for students who might not have access to technology at home and enhance the learning environment within the classroom. Greenfield-Central school Board approved the purchase of 1,500 MacBook Air laptops for its high school students for the 2015-2016 school year last December. Though the MacBooks are restricted to high school students, in July, the school board agreed to purchase an additional 192 Chromebooks for its two intermediate schools in an attempt to ease the students’ transition into digital learning environments. Those laptops are expected to be reserved for fi fth-graders initially, but the district plans to purchase more computers for fourth- and sixth-graders as general funds become available.

G-C aims to eventually outfit all students k-12 with computers. The district’s first foray into one-to-one computing – a fancy way of saying every student will have a device – will cost an estimated $1.6 million for the MacBooks and an additional $51,372 for the Chromebooks, but the benefit to students, administrators say, will be incalculable. “Before this point, teachers had to go through the challenges of trying to schedule time inside one of our computer labs and getting all their kids from the classroom to the lab,” said Jim Bever, principal at Greenfield Intermediate school. “This way, they’ll be right there in the classroom ready for them to use. Connecting to the Internet in the classroom opens a virtually unlimited number of resources for our students.” To ensure the district can handle the technical responsibility that comes with a digital integration plan, administrators have restructured their technology departments. Apple-certified technicians have been working to get teachers up to speed with the computers, and each school building will have at least one technology specialist, said Greg Thompson, the district’s technology operations director. Mt. Vernon Community school Corp. followed suit in mid June after the school board permitted a $2.5 million loan to issue computers to all grade levels for the 2015-2016 school year. The district is just the second in the county to issue laptops to students at all age levels, trailing only southern Hancock school Corp. The loan will be used to purchase 1,800 iPads for elementary students and 2,300 Chromebooks for

middle and high school students. Greg rollo, technology director for the district, said that’s enough to issue a computer to each student enrolled plus 10 percent to accommodate for growth, as well as one for every teacher. Additional infrastructure will be purchased to support the new technology, including 85 iPad charging carts and five Chromebook charging carts. Each classroom will also receive a wireless access point. As students and teachers grow comfortable with the technology, the district will likely make more purchases in the future, rollo said. The $2.5 million loan, issued through Greenfield Banking Co., will come with a 1.4 percent interest rate, which is the lowest of three banks that submitted proposals, said Brian Tomamichel, corporations business manager. The loan will be paid off through the school’s capital projects fund, which comes from property taxes and textbook rental fees. All students in the district will see a flat $135 textbook rental fee for the laptops, while middle and high school students might pay additional fees depending on the courses they take. Mt. Vernon has also hired a new curriculum coordinator who will make sure teachers have a firm understanding of how the technology works. The shift to a digital learning environment also presents an opportunity for districts to implement online learning days, when students work from home during snow days instead of missing classwork altogether and be forced to make up a day. southern Hancock was the first county corporation to try an online learning day last January.

cHurcHes Fortville Christian Church member Dave Griffey helps local children with their crafts during Vacation Bible School. The church members connected with youths during a mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

They staFF Writer returned to Fortville with photos, tears and a new perspective on what makes a meaningful life. Nineteen members of Fortville Christian Church traveled to the Dominican Republic recently with tasks in mind: benches to build, vacation Bible school to lead and walls to paint at a church and several houses. “Different trips have had different work projects,” said tim Flick, an elder at the church and coordinator of this year’s trip. “our main purpose, though, was to go down and love the pastor and his family and the kids in the community.”

they did this work in a setting of eye-opening poverty. Dorinda arnold said she thought she had seen enough news reports and documentaries to make her aware of poverty. “i thought i knew what

poverty was, but i didn’t,” she said. “the first night, all i could see was poverty; the second day and on, i saw the people.” Beyond the jobs they performed and the great needs they saw, she and her teammates forged relationships

with people who showed them moving examples of great love, deep gratitude and exuberant faith. there was the boy who brought a mango to a team member each day after he saw the man searching for one early in the trip. there was the hospitality offered by homeowners inviting the group in. there was the wholehearted singing by people in the local church, a sight remarkable enough to bring residents of surrounding homes “out on their porches watching the christians worship,” said Dain anderson in a video. (He and other team members shared thoughts on the trip in Fortville christian church’s June 28 service, which was posted online.) “they were there to praise the Lord and to worship God,” he told the local congregation. “they weren’t there to check a box.” in her words to the congregation on the video, nikki Privett voices a similar observation. “they celebrate Jesus in a way that churches in america just have no idea,” she said. “they celebrate with their whole mind, their whole heart, their whole body — just everything. they are dancing and shouting praise to the Lord. “it is the most beautiful, most authentic, most joyful worship experience i have ever seen or been a part of in my entire life, and it makes me sad that we don’t celebrate Jesus, the way they do, in america,” she continued, her voice breaking with emotion.


d i s c o v e r

“He is their everything.” the church the group visited in the Dominican republic is led by Pastor Gregorio thomas of Pata de Gallina. He and his wife, Josefa, and their three children feed about 75 children six days a week. the meals were cooked over an open flame until a couple of years ago, when an earlier mission team helped build a kitchen. the meal — often chicken, rice and beans — is “either the only meal they get, or it’s the best meal of the day,” Flick said. the mission team helped with feeding the children each day, and after the meal, they held vacation

h a n c o c k

Bible school classes for a couple of hours. team members shared lessons with the children, and the children worked on crafts such as banners with dowel rods that they could decorate or tambourines made with paper plates, beans and streamers. one evening, the women of the group organized Ladies’ night at the church for women of the community. they painted fingernails, served fancy cookies with punch, made scarves out of t-shirts and enjoyed each other’s company. “We humble ourselves and serve them, and we get so much more back,” said team member Margie Whitaker.

c o u n t y

she was on her second trip to the Dominican republic. the people there “witnessed to me as much as i blessed them. it’s a mutual blessing.” While the women gathered, the men played dominoes. they gathered around three or four tables, with teams from the Dominican taking on teams from Fortville. “apparently, they love dominoes and are very good at it,” Flick said. He laughs. “they crushed us, really.” still, he said, it was good to be together and continue building relationships. He said when the church was choosing an additional mission site to support sev-

eral years ago, it wanted one close enough to travel to, one church teams could return to, building deeper relationships over time. “you get to know the people,” said Brenda ayers, who has made three trips to the country. “they become like family.” the church partners with Go Ministries, whose staff members raise their own support. that means all the money donated by Fortville christian goes to the actual work of the feeding center for the children. “to see these kids so happy and joyful, … it’s a gut check,” Flick said. “it makes you really evaluate yourself and what’s important in life.”

HelpinG HanD FunD supports ministry-minDeD stuDents onathan Roller spends his work days organizing Sunday morning services for young children, Sunday evening youth gatherings, and activities for the fifth- and sixth-graders in between.

by anne DurHam smitH staFF Writer

He serves as family minister at Fall creek christian church in Pendleton, a position he assumed not long after graduating from Johnson university in tennessee. the transition from college to the ministry was eased for him by a scholarship from a Greenfieldbased foundation that has awarded more than $2 million to aspiring ministers and missionaries in the 50 years since it began. “it defi nitely made college more possible for me and … reduced what i would have had to pay back in student loans,” roller said. “it defi nitely eased the weight a little.” aside from the college cash, the scholarship gave roller a boost by “people recognizing where my heart was and what i was passionate about.” that recognition came from the alexander christian Foundation, which awards scholarships to students involved in an independent christian church/church of christ who want to pursue a career in ministry.

it was the dream of Bill Duncan, an insurance salesman and a deacon at southport Heights christian church in indianapolis. He wanted to set up a fund that offered money for Bible college for young people who felt called to ministry. in the early 1970s, he was at the hospital while a family member had surgery. two pastor friends came to sit with him. as they talked in the waiting room, he shared the idea. Ministers Bruce Miller and ken arnold liked the concept. Duncan contributed some of his own profits and contacted business leaders around the state,

who also made contributions. the alexander christian Foundation was born. “the word, alexander, means helper,” said David Woods, senior minister at Park chapel christian church and foundation vice president. “the early directors landed on that — that it would be a helping organization.” the first scholarship was awarded in 1964 to Mary Faith Hall of Bedford. she would become a college classmate of Woods’ at Johnson university (then Johnson Bible college), but that was before he knew about the foundation. in the earlier years of the foundation, Woods was

organizing a youth rally when he crossed paths with some minister friends involved in it. they invited him to join its board; he later served a 25-year tenure as president. During that tenure, the foundation’s headquarters, which had once been in Duncan’s insurance office on the northwest side of indianapolis, moved to Hancock county. twenty years ago, the headquarters were moved into an office near u.s. 40 and county road 600W; for the past 14 years, the foundation has occupied an office in the Hancock county community Foundation building on east Main street. that’s not all that has

changed; the amount awarded and the number of recipients in a year have grown. the foundation offered a single scholarship in the beginning of about $300 per semester. a laywoman at one of the christian churches urged a larger scholarship, Woods said; today, first-year college students receive $1,500, with the potential to earn a $2,000 scholarship in later years if they maintain a B average. there are graduate-level scholarships these days, too. according to the foundation’s office manager, Judith colip, 817 students have received scholarships over the past 50 years, totaling $2.1 million.

the foundation grew by not only addition but also multiplication. about 25 years ago, Duncan asked Gene Mcelroy to travel for a year for the foundation to try to establish foundations in other states. about seven or eight were formed, Woods said, and not all of them lasted, but several are still in existence. each has its own scholarship structure and does its own fundraising. that is how an insurance salesman’s dream became more than $3 million in scholarships for future ministers and missionaries. “Many of (the recipients) have become really amazing workers in mission fields,” Woods said.

others have found their calling closer to Greenfield. Danny curry, spiritual development minister at Park chapel, was a scholarship recipient from the foundation and also served it as a summer intern. tom scott, senior minister at cumberland christian church, was also a recipient and became president of the foundation in 2011. scott remembers 1964 recipient Mary Faith (Hall) enyart from his days at college, where her husband was a professor. according to scott, she’s a “great christian lady … highly respected,” part of a long list of remarkable recipients. “students have gone on to

&

r e L i g i o n

every part of the world, every part of the country, and are doing amazing things,” he said, and the foundation exists to help free them to do those amazing things sooner. “Huge student loans are a huge shackle,” he said. “through acF, we try to lighten that load a little. that’s why it’s important to keep it going.” scott writes letters thanking individuals and churches who donate to the foundation and tries to spread the word by making sure ministers and students in independent christian churches/ churches of christ know about the scholarship. roller is trying to do that,

too. He said some of the students he works with are considering ministry, and he’ll be ready to tell them about the scholarship. When roller was a teenager, he was involved in Wilkinson church of christ. His minister there was ryan Mccarty, himself a past scholarship recipient. He nominated roller for the award. While some colleges and universities will match contributions from churches, “i don’t know of any other foundation that offers a scholarship for specifically targeting mission and ministry-minded students,” Mccarty said. “the acF is definitely in its own genre.”

spiritual Journey neW priest to settle in at st. micHael cHurcH

During his growing up years, long before The Rev. Aaron Jenkins’ spiritual journey led him to assume leadership in by anne Greenfield, he felt DurHam God might be calling him to be a pastor. smitH The new priest of St. Michael Catholic staFF Church remembers that, as a child growing Writer up in Rush County, he and his family were regulars at Zion United Church of Christ in Shelbyville. Later, he became a college student at Anderson University, a Church of God-affiliated school. He said during those years he fell away from faith.

“i really believed this was it,” he said. During his senior year of college, he entered the rite of christian initiation for adults, the series of classes for adults who choose to join the catholic church, at st. ambrose catholic church in anderson. after college, Jenkins became an elementary school art teacher in the Washington, D.c., area.

some life experiences helped bring him back, though, and he thought long and hard about various expressions of the christian faith and which church he should join. During this season of consideration, he was working with a stained-glass artist who was catholic. Jenkins talked with him and with some cousins who are also catholic.

Discover Hancock county But thoughts of being a pastor stayed with him. eventually, he entered st. Meinrad school of theology to further explore if the priesthood was God’s calling for him. “i think i finally reached that moment a couple years in,” he said. Jenkins was ordained in June 2008. seven years later, Jenkins has come to Greenfield as the new priest of st. Michael catholic church. that’s the same time that his successor assumed duties at st. teresa Benedicta of the cross in Bright, the church Jenkins has served

for four years. it’s a newer congregation, less than 20 years old, that meets in a worship space not originally built to be a church. kim sprague, who coordinates religious education and youth ministry for the parish, remembers that one of her early conversations with Jenkins was about the best use of the building for its various ministry functions. “His fresh perspective and ability to look at the big picture brought some new ideas,” sprague wrote in an email. “He was open to conversation and suggestions, which i appreciated,

and the final changes in how to best utilize office and meeting space were very effective for parish life, ministry and staff.” sprague said Jenkins is a wonderful shepherd and encouraged st. Michael parishioners to get to know him beyond Mass attendance, describing him as a person of wisdom, wit and humor. she also described ways in which he helped deepen the spiritual lives of people in the parish at Bright, citing Bible study groups and other faith formation efforts he helped establish and other ways he chal-

lenged them to deeper devotion. “His encouragement for everyone in the parish to live through the scriptures was truly transforming,” she wrote. “you could tell that he read and prayed the scriptures and spent a lot of time preparing his homilies, but he also reflected on them in how he lived his vocation.” the parish in Bright said farewell to Jenkins on June 14 at a pitch-in after Masses. “this is the longest place i’ve ever lived (since school),” he said. “there are good people here.”

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

More importantly, “i trust God is guiding me to this place,” he said. He’s excited to serve a parish with a school. in the years right after he was ordained, he was a chaplain for Father thomas scecina Memorial High school. other roles he juggled at various times from 2008-11, before he went to Bright, included being an associate pastor at Holy name of Jesus in Beech Grove, a chaplain for indianapolis Fire Department, associate director of vocations for the indianapolis archdiocese and sacramental minister for a handful of churches. in addition to leading the st. Michael parish, he will

still, he said he’d had time to prepare himself for the possibility of moving. He realized after the rev. Bill stumpf was chosen for a job with the indianapolis archdiocese, creating a vacancy at st. Michael, that it was possible he would be selected for the job. the two once worked together in the past; in 2007, when stumpf served st. charles Borromeo catholic Parish in Bloomington, Jenkins ministered there during the summer. and being from rushville, “Greenfield is not unfamiliar to me,” he said. it places him between his parents in rushville and his sister in noblesville.

serve as a chaplain coordinator at scecina. While art continues to be a passion of his, Jenkins also enjoys fly fishing and hunting, including dove hunting and archery hunting for deer. “it’s just kind of nice to be out there” in nature, he said. He estimates half of these excursions are solo outings, but other times he goes with his father or with fellow priests. “He’s a person of many interests, varied interests,” said Deacon Wayne Davis at st. Michael. “i think he’ll relate very well to our young people. “i think there’s a lot of excitement in the parish.” Before he assumes his

duties at st. Michael, Jenkins has been on a previously planned trip to ireland. a time to relax, see sites of interest to his faith. “you can’t go to ireland and it not be infused with catholicism,” he said in an interview before the trip. He anticipated seeing the Book of kells, a Marian shrine and other sites. at the same time, “it provides a nice little retreat in between – space and time to pray.” after that, it’s time to “get there and get to know the community and see where it’s at,” he said. “i just want to give people beautiful Mass and help them see God.”

century celebration

cHurcH marks 100-year anniversary he worshippers on this corner have gathered under a tent, within walls of wood or brick, and for short times away from the site.

by anne DurHam smitH staFF Writer

But when members and friends gathered recently at New Hope Church of the Nazarene, for many years known as Stringtown Church of the Nazarene, they celebrated not the building where they meet but what has happened inside it for 100 years. the church started in a tent, said longtime member carolyn Pitts, who has heard the story of the church’s beginning. those who have been part of the church through the decades suggest the passion that birthed the

church continued into the years that followed. they tell stories of intense encounters with God, of calls to life change or to ministry heard and answered and of deep love among the worshipers gathered at the northeast corner of u.s. 40

and county road 500 east. ‘How they testified’ in the “History of Hancock county,” published in 1916, George J. richman referred to the fledgling congregation as Pentecostal church of the nazarene.


c h u r c h e s

(Pictured at left) Kevin Price removes the cover on a new sign bearing the name, New Hope Church of the Nazarene, in a ceremony three years ago at the former Stringtown Church of the Nazarene.

“this little congregation was organized at stringtown in February, 1915 …” he wrote, noting that Grover van Duyn and his wife had donated land for a church building, which was to be completed in 1916. Pitts has been going to the church since her family moved to the area when she was 2 years old. she recalls that as a small child she and a cousin would race the aisle once the service ended

to see who could reach the kindly pastor first.“He just loved us and paid a lot of attention to us when we were young,” she said. not even tragedy — twice — could keep the congregation down. on Jan. 2, 1960, a fire destroyed the church building. Pitts remembers a friend calling her and saying if she wanted to see the church to hurry, because it was on fire. she packed up her babies and hurried over. “the last post fell in when we got there,” she said. Members met for services in the Memorial Building on north street in downtown Greenfield, while a new structure was built.

r e L i g i o n

Fourteen years later, that building was ravaged by a tornado that ripped off one side of the sanctuary. once again, “the church people held together like a family,” remembers Martha Mae cooper. this time the congregation worshipped in the seventh Day adventist church’s building while its own building was repaired. cooper has been attending the church since the late 1930s, around the time she married Marion chapman. He was a sunday school superintendent for the church. after his death, she and her second husband, robert cooper, moved to rushville and worshipped there for

several years. they moved back in 1959 and became active at stringtown again; she taught sunday school until she was 91. “God has been faithful to the church, with many people accepting christ as their savior,” cooper said. one of those revivals happened in 1987. kent Pitcher remembers it, and the path leading up to it, well. ‘He set me free’ Pitcher was a 15-yearold attending high school in knightstown when a neighbor invited him to the church.He had been to church before, but when he started attending at stringtown, “that’s where i first experienced Jesus in a real way,” he said.

Discover Hancock county When he got to church, he learned it was also the last day of a series of revival services. “i realized i’d been set up,” he said, but he’s sort of laughing as he tells this story, as if he doesn’t really mind. “they’d been praying for me.” Pitcher walked down the aisle at the end of the service. “that sunday i got saved,” he said. “i went to the altar that day and … asked the Lord to set me free from addictions, and he set me free.” Pitcher said he figured if God did that for him, God could do anything. He came

He remembers thinking “these people know something about God that i don’t know about God.”He played on a church league basketball team. Doris sparks, wife of the rev. keith a. sparks, was like a mother to him. He never forgot the way the people of the church “just kind of took me in under their wing.” still, Pitcher said for about 10 years, he went his own way, and “it wasn’t really pretty.” Mired in addiction to alcohol and other drugs, he nevertheless agreed to go to church one sunday with his mom. it was Mother’s Day.

back at stringtown and had once again found a family of support there. Later, Pitcher went to a district camp meeting in camby with the church. there, he felt God was telling him to become a pastor. Back in Hancock county, he struggled for two weeks before nervously telling the rev. Forrest F. Harvey what he thought God had said. Harvey recommended nazarene Bible college in colorado springs, colorado. so in February 1989, Pitcher packed his car and left town — but not without one more expression of love and support

from the church. as he drove north on state road 9 to catch the westbound ramp onto interstate 70 and his long journey to colorado, he found some church members parked on the ramp, waving to him as he left. some even followed him eight miles to the Mt. comfort exit, where they got off the interstate and headed back to Greenfield. Pitcher would later transfer to Midamerica nazarene university in olathe, kansas. after graduation he would minister in Missouri before serving on the mission field for six years in Guatemala and costa rica.

Josh robertson, the church’s current pastor. it has transitioned to a more contemporary style of worship and three years ago changed its name from stringtown to new Hope.robertson, who became pastor in 2010, said he knew the church had a fund for a new sign.“if we’re going to do this, i would like to consider changing the name,” he remembers

saying to church members. “the word ‘hope’ kept coming up in our conversations — that we wanted to offer people hope.” the church also recently launched a revamped Wednesday night children’s ministry and is trying to attract young families. Dan tutrow, his wife and two children were among those younger families. they came to the church 12 years ago after a grandmother at one of their children’s soccer games invited them to the church.

“i remember … everyone was very loving,” tutrow said. “a genuine caring.” tutrow said robertson has a good vision for the church and is encouraging members to dream boldly about its future. “We’re hoping for a church where we can go on a weekly basis,” he said, “and every week, we come to see someone be saved in our church.” Pitcher knows what it’s like to be one of those people. When he speaks to the congregation, he said, “it’ll be ‘Look how God has used this church in the last 100 years’ — the impact that that little local church had on a little country boy from indiana.”
