Indiana can't honor veterans without addressing our suicide epidemic
My military career was bookended by the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which began in response to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Many of us who served in that time lost friends on the battlefield or in support of combat operations. Sadly, many of us also lost friends to suicide.

Need Cash? These are the Most Popular Side Hustles in Indiana
It's no secret that prices have been soaring over the last year. Like you, my grocery bill is much higher than it once was, and I've been astounded at how quickly the cost of goods has gone up. Just last week, I was shopping at Walmart and needed to pick up some fake butter (margarine), and I definitely had some sticker shock. It had probably been about two years since I bought a four-stick pack because I usually use whole butter. Regardless, the last time I bought margarine, it was just fifty cents, but now the cost has more than doubled to $1.43.
Here’s How Bad Indiana People are Handling New Year’s Resolutions
We are almost halfway through 2024, which makes now the perfect time to check in on how well Hoosiers are doing with their New Year's resolutions. Over the last two years, I've decided to steer clear of making any New Year's resolutions. Why? Because I know for a fact that I won't stick with it. In 2021, I committed to losing 100 pounds but was only able to drop about half that. Perhaps it's never too late to kick-start an old goal. Either way, I'm not alone, because most Hoosiers in 2024 have already said goodbye to their new-year goals as well.
The Largest Festival In Indiana Lasts for 10 Days Every Fall
Indiana's largest festival attracts more than 2 million people annually. Throughout the state of Indiana, there are hundreds of festivals held annually. Some are big, some are small, and some are downright interesting. Of course, in the Evansville area, we are very familiar with the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival which takes place during the first week of October every year. Then there are more unique Hoosier festivals like the Amateur Circus Festival in Peru, Indiana. There's even a week-long Halloween festival in Indiana as well. But one festival is bigger than the rest, and this annual festival welcomes more than 2 million people annually, can you guess which festival it is?

INDIANAPOLIS —With another running of the Indianapolis 500 in the books, Indiana corn and soybean producers are gearing up to get what they call a crucial bill across the finish line.
