IAW issues cautionary note about water
Friday, October 25, 2019 2:34 PM

To optimize its treatment process and improve water quality, Indiana American Water will be switching to chloramines at its Sheridan water treatment facility the week of Nov. 3.

Chloramination, the practice of mixing a small amount of ammonia in the disinfection process, will optimize and enhance the treatment process in Sheridan and also reduce the likelihood of creating disinfection byproducts (DBP) during the treatment process. DBPs are potentially harmful contaminants that form when disinfectants react with naturally occurring organic materials in the source water.

    Historical Society trying to solve mystery

    The Sheridan Historical Society has lots of items of historical significance and most of them have interesting stories associated with them. Occasionally, however, we receive a donation, and we are just not sure of the creator/author or of its significance or of the story behind it. Here is one of our conundrums.

  • Legacy of George Boxley continues

    Legacy of George Boxley continues

    I recently ran across an interesting article on pioneer and abolitionist George Boxley in the Sept. 15, 1924 Noblesville Daily Ledger.
    Unlike many of the stories you’ll find about Boxley, the focus of this piece wasn’t on his anti-slavery activities, but rather on his role as Adams Township’s first teacher.
    Most of the information was taken from the memories of Sheridan resident Phineas G. Pearson, who as a youngster had been one of Boxley’s students. Although Pearson died in 1902, he’d spoken so often and so fondly of his experiences in the township’s first school that his tales were still remembered over 20 years later.

    Library’s Summer Readers donate to Youth Assistance Program

    The Sheridan Public Library’s Summer Reading Program, “Imagine Your Story,” recently wrapped up with readers eager to help out the community. Covid-19 led to a different approach this summer by moving SPL to an online format for all readers (pre-K through 12th grade).
    Readers were challenged to complete different levels of reading dependent on age group. The children earned weekly prizes and worked toward a community goal. For each book read, participants earned a donation credit to Sheridan Youth Assistance Program.
