Herd Strategies Named Minority Business of the Month
Herd Strategies has been named the August Vendor of the Month by the City of Indianapolis.
David Fredricks, the Director of the Indianapolis Office of Minority and Women Business Development (OMWBD), says Herd Strategies was selected as the vendor of the month for their many hours of community service and engagement.
The firm’s founder, Denise Herd, says being selected as Vendor of the Month “means so much.” Herd is actively involved in community service and holds positions on several local non-profit boards. In addition, she has received accolades such as the Woman of Influence award and recognition from organizations such as the Public Relations Society of America and the Indy Chamber.
Denise Herd says she and her company are committed to making the city a better place, and she appreciates the city’s recognition of her hard work. She says it is important for small businesses to get involved with city agencies and cultivate relationships with city councilors and the mayor’s office.
After 13 years in business, Herd shows no signs of slowing down, and she says larger projects are on the way for her firm.

It’s time to go racing in Indianapolis! Round nine of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross invades Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana for another night of Triple Crown racing. Points are still tight in both classes as we gear up for tonight’s gate drop. Only the top 18 riders head straight to the main event so the pressure is on for qualifying.
QUALIFYING
Eli Tomac is fresh off his eighth win at Daytona and carrying that momentum into qualifying today. He was fastest in both sessions today as he sets the pace with a 45.435. Justin Cooper looked up to the challenge as he was a close second overall, just 0.02 seconds off Tomac. The 450SX points leader, Hunter Lawrence clocked third overall with a 45.5. Jorge Prado returns to action this weekend in fourth overall with Cooper Webb rounding out the top five. The top eight riders all ran a 45-second lap which goes to show how close the racing will be tonight.

250SX
Just like the 450 class, last week’s winner is on top of the board once again. Seth Hammaker topped both sessions in the 250SX East division and leads the way before tonight’s three main events. Hammaker is actually the fastest rider in either class as his 45.1 is three-tenths better than Tomac’s time. Cole Davies grabbed second overall but was half a second off Hammaker. His whoop speed will certainly come into play as the track breaks down. Jo Shimoda jumped to third overall late in the second session and showed he can post a fast time even in the rutted conditions.

Congress debates ending Daylight Saving Time
Senators are working around the clock on the issue of whether to end the twice-a-year time changes for Daylight Saving Time.
Fox – Seattle
Daylight saving time begins on Sunday, March 8, with clocks springing forward. This means people will lose an hour of sleep, but daylight hours also will increase in Indiana until the clock falls back again in early November.
Here’s what to know about daylight saving time in 2026, and sunrise and sunset times for the Indianapolis area.
What day does daylight saving time begin? When do clocks spring forward?
In the U.S., daylight saving time begins when clocks officially spring forward at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8, 2026.
Do I gain or lose an hour of sleep for daylight saving time at 2 a.m. on March 8, 2026?
We lose an hour of sleep when the clocks “spring forward” at the start of daylight saving time. At 2 a.m., clocks are turned ahead by one hour.
In the fall, when DST ends, clocks “fall back” an hour in November, meaning you gain an hour of sleep.
What time will the sun rise in Indianapolis? What time will it set?
After clocks spring forward March 8, the sun will rise in Indianapolis at around 8:06 a.m., according to Time and Date, and set at roughly 7:44 p.m.
By the end of the month, Hoosiers in Central Indiana will see sunrise at 7:30 a.m. and sunset as late as 8:07 p.m.
When is the longest day of the year? Summer solstice 2026
The longest day of the year is the summer solstice, which happens Sunday, June 21, 2026. For Indianapolis, the sun will rise at roughly 6:16 a.m. and set at around 9:16 p.m., giving Hoosiers almost 15 hours of daylight.
