• MARK BENNETT: Pull up a telescope and see a show at Rose-Hulman observatory

  Once in a lifetime. The phrase gets uttered often. Sometimes, it’s an assumption, as in traveling to Europe or getting tickets to see the Cubs play in the World Series. Occasionally, it’s definite.

• MARK BENNETT: Could a new champion for public schools be emerging?

  Deep down, millions of Hoosiers would wear the label “advocate for public schools.”

• MARK BENNETT: Everyone has a role in this American story (see VIDEO)

  We stood atop a hill in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, and I do mean rural. Cars, trucks, SUVs and RVs kept pulling into the parking area.

  Hoosiers exhibit generosity.
  Terre Hauteans, in particular, displayed that virtue after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the local flooding in 2008. They donated blood, money, food, clothes and — most significantly — their own sweat and time.

• MARK BENNETT: Through it all, police officers continue to perform

  Put one foot in front of the other. Again. And again. It sounds easy. Yet, in the wake of hardship or trauma, that’s one of the toughest challenges — to simply keep on keepin’ on.

• B-SIDES: Renovations to bring eclectic dome into light

  Few things in Terre Haute cause people to stare upward. Storm clouds, maybe. A murder of crows blackening the wintertime sky at dusk downtown. Fourth of July fireworks above the Wabash River.

  Sixteen-thousand kids just started summer vacation in Vigo County. Some will play baseball or softball. Some will attend camps. Some will work part-time jobs. Some will prepare for college. Some will watch TV, hang out, or “just chill” for 21⁄2 months.

• B-SIDES: Invasion of the buffalo gnats really sucks — blood that is

  Ah, you can’t beat an invigorating springtime walk in Indiana.

• B-Sides: Taking a ‘heart-breaking, life-changing’ journey to Africa
