Hoosier students are returning to school, which means school buses will be on our roads again. The Indiana State Police ask all motorists to remain aware of traveling and stopped school buses by abiding by the following state laws.
Children should also stand six feet away from the curb while waiting for the bus to arrive and only approach the bus when the doors open after it comes to a complete stop.
Make sure children look both ways before crossing the street in front of the bus in case motorists do not heed state school bus safety laws.

In the Indiana State Fair’s swine building, pale pink piglets gleefully prance about, play fight, and burrow in the hay in their pen while their mild-mannered mother, a pig named Jenny, looks on.
Curious, the pigs decide to nibble on an unlikely snack—the fringe of an intern’s jeans.
Intern Claire Mauer stands inside the hay-littered pen with the pigs. For the chipper brunette, who wears a collared gray Purdue animal sciences shirt, their munching habits are just part of the job.
As a junior animal science major pursuing a concentration in agricultural business, being around livestock is something she enjoys.
“I love working with the animals, it’s great,†Claire said.
While she’s always been interested in agriculture, the Indianapolis native wasn’t around animals for the majority of her life.
“I had no large animal experience, and that’s why I took this internship—to get experience,†she said. “It’s been really cool just being able to, you know, see the stuff we learned in class, seeing it applied onto the actual, like, job field … [to] see the different cycles, the different phases of the ages and see truly how fast they grow.â€
Through the internship, Claire has been able to work with a myriad of animals, such as sheep, goats, horses, turkeys and llamas. She also greatly enjoys working with fairgoers who stop by the pigpen.
“I love working with people. Being able to talk and educate, that is what I was super excited about for this part of the internship—not only learning new stuff myself but being able to go out and teach people who have never had experience with animals,†Claire said.
The education Claire provides is something she holds as important, and for good reason.
“I think it’s so easy to, you know, grow away from our production because that’s namely what, you know, we produce for, it’s for food production,†Claire said. “And it’s amazing when you talk to people and they don’t know where their food comes from. They don’t, you know, know how it’s raised or how it’s grown.â€
The knowledge she’s gained is something that she hopes to impart on all those who stop by the pen at the fair.
“I think it’s really, really important for people to still be able to see, like, ‘Hey, this is still a huge part of our society, still a huge part of our lives,’ even if it’s something that people aren’t seeing from day to day.â€

IS IT TRUE that between the years of 2012 and 2022 the population of downtown tracts in the City of Evansville decreased by a staggering 15.6%?…during that same 10-year period the population of non-downtown tracts increased a smidgeon by 0.2%?…the income of the people who remained in the downtown tracts increased by 10.5% during that decade and the non-downtown tract dwellers only increased by 8.6%?…that according to the CPI inflation calculator on the website of the United States Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the cumulative inflation rate from 2012 to 2022 was 27.4% meaning that Evansville is not even keeping up with half of the cost of living inside or outside the downtown area?…this may reflect the obsession with fun and games projects instead of activities that are of substance that create wealth and pay living wages?…with a downtown that is shrinking in population in spite of an abundance of construction and conversions, does it really make sense to aspire to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on riverfront lifestyle projects?
IS IT TRUE that recent FBI data puts Evansville, Indiana the 22nd most violent crime-ridden city in the United States of America, with a violent crime rate of 8.15 per thousand residents?…that means that there are 21 more violent cities in the nation, and the list was headed by Memphis, Tennessee but included the legacy pain pits of Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Baltimore, Kansas City, and other large places that typically have terrible neighborhoods?…there were even 5 medium-sized cities that are more violent than Evansville is and our midwestern neighbors like Peoria, Dayton and Flint all are more violent?…this is not good company to keep if efforts to grow the population with higher earning people is the goal?
IS IT TRUE that the current population of the City of Evansville is down to 114,651 from the 117,373 in the 2020 Census?… Evansville’s population peaked in 1960 at 141,500 and has declined ever since?…the current projection for 2028 is to lose additional people to a level of 111,300 souls?…these souls deserve more than gimmicks, meanless slogans, and parties if the population can stop the bleeding?…a comprehensive analysis of what has happened over the last 64 years to drive away nearly 20% of the population?… we hint that a declining base of jobs that pay a living wage, a rise in violent crime and leaders absorbed with trivial pursuits is the principle driving factors?…we hope that our Mayor Stephanie Terry will learn how to address these issues at her upcoming training sessions at Harvard University and paid for by Michael Bloomberg?
Today’s Readers Poll question is: How do you rate the overall current condition of America?
