INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is forming a task force to recommend steps that state officials should take to fight drug abuse. Pence announced the 21-member panel on Tuesday, saying it would hold three meetings around Indiana during the coming months as it considers ways to improve the state's response in treating and preventing drug abuse. Pence says Indiana now has the 16th highest drug overdose rate in the country, with a 500 percent increase in such deaths between 1999 and 2009.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Up the stairs and a few steps beyond the mezzanine, visitors at The Children's Museum will find themselves immersed in a sea of color. White robes, blue water, gold thrones and red dye come together in a new 7,000-square-foot exhibit that shares stories of faith. "It's an eye-opening experience for sure," said Erin Fleck, a member of The Children's Museum who previewed the exhibit Friday. "National Geographic Sacred Journeys" — a display four years in the making — tackles the topic of religion through the eyes of five children who are Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist. Christian Carron, director of collections at the museum, describes the exhibit as a "safe place for families and children to talk about religion." The goal, Carron said, is to introduce the community to religions, traditions and people from throughout the world. Artifacts include a replica of the Shroud of Turin, a piece of linen some believe covered Jesus' body after he was crucified, and a throne used by the Dalai Lama in Bloomington. Visitors can touch a stone from the Western Wall where Jews pray in Jerusalem, and view fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls. "My family is Catholic, so it's neat to see all of the Christian artifacts, but everything is beautiful," Fleck said.
