INDIANA, MARION CENTER BOARDS TO MEET ON MONDAY

School board meetings in July are rare, but there are two Indiana County boards scheduled to meet tomorrow.

Indiana Area’s board president, Walter Schroth, will report to the board on the ICTC situation. The River Valley School District has notified ICTC of its intention to pull out of its commitment to the technical school, and there are important ramifications for all of the other districts in the county if River Valley is leaves.

There are a number of motions to be dealt with regarding the start of the new school year, an extensive list of coaching assignments, and an update on the Eisenhower school project.

The board will also consider a bond issue for over $5 million for construction projects related to ESCO, the energy savings program.

The Buildings, Grounds, and Transportation Committee will meet beforehand

In a combined work and voting session, Marion Center’s board will also prepare for the opening next month of a new school year, including coaching and extracurricular assignments, a budget update, and a second reading of the district’s electronic devices policy.

Indiana Horse of the Year of 2024 Demolisher Dies at 4

Months after being named the 2024 Indiana Thoroughbred Owner’s and Breeder’s Association’s Horse of the Year for 2024, multiple stakes winner Demolisher was euthanized after a bout with laminitis.

“We went from the highest highs as Indiana Horse of the Year to the lowest low ever when we had to say goodbye,” said Resia Ayres, who bred and raced Demolisher with husband Ken.

Unraced at 2, Demolisher proved worth the wait as he won the first five starts of his career in 2024, topped by stakes wins in the Governor’s Handicap and the To Much Coffee Handicap. All five of those wins came at Horseshoe Indianapolis. He closed out the season with an unplaced start in the Bryan Station Stakes (G3T) at Keeneland.

In March the son of Dominus was honored as ITOBA’s top Indiana-bred 3-year-old male and its Horse of the Year.

“It’s about as high as we ever expected to have any of our horses,” Ken Ayres said at the time. “It’s hard to put words to it. Obviously, we’re super excited about it.”

Some Indiana lawmakers ponder taking up marijuana debate after Trump’s reclassification order – Indianapolis Business Journal

For several years, the common refrain among some state lawmakers has been that they had no desire to tackle the issue until the federal government reclassified the drug. That argument will be removed if the president’s order receives federal regulatory approval as directed.
