NFA bringing National Tournament back to Ball State after pulling event

The National Forensics Association has decided to host its National Tournament at Ball State after pulling the event from campus when state legislators passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act last March. The 2016 event will bring around 1,200 students and faculty members from across the country to campus and rake in anywhere between $1 and $2 million for the Muncie community, Director of Individual Events, Mary Moore, said.

UPDATE: Opponents of proposed reservoir vow to fight commission

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) — Opponents of a proposed $450 million central Indiana reservoir are vowing to continue their efforts to stop the creation of a commission that would handle planning for that project. The Anderson City Council on Thursday adopted an ordinance in favor of the Mounds Lake Commission, but the communities of Chesterfield, Daleville and Yorktown also must sign onto the commission concept. That multi-governmental agency would oversee planning of the proposed Mounds Lake Reservoir, a 2,100-acrelake stretching 7 miles through Madison and Delaware counties that would be created by damming the White River in Anderson.
