Culture Shock acts named From IDS reports
Chicago rapper Noname will headline this spring’s Culture Shock Music Festival, student radio station WIUX announced this weekend. Three touring acts and a handful of local bands will also perform at the annual day-long festival, taking place this year April 15 in Dunn Meadow. Noname released her debut mixtape, “Telefone,” last year. Before that, she made her name with spots on tracks by fellow Chicagoans Chance the Rapper and Mick Jenkins. The festival will also feature touring bands SALES, Flasher and Post Animal. Florida’s SALES released their self-titled EP in 2016 and will perform at Sasquatch! Music Festival later this year. Flasher, a post-punk trio based out of Washington, D.C., released the single “Erase Myself” in April of last year, with a sound described by some as shoegaze meets dream-pop. Post Animal includes guitarist and vocalist Joe Keery, who played Steve Harrington in Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” The local bands playing will include indie rock band High Fiber, punk outfit House Olympics, and singer-songwriter Amy O, who is also of local groups Nice Try and Brenda’s Friend. Indianapolis hip-hop artists Drayco McCoy, F L A C O and Mathias Young will also perform, as will Kevin Krauther of Hoops, the local indie band that’s garnered widespread acclaim in the past year. The event is free and open to members of the public across all ages. Local businesses will provide food and drink, and WIUX and Culture Shock merchandise will be available for purchase.

Monroe County resident Diana Igo, 68, voices her conerns about the proposed annexation of her neighborhood Monday evening at her home on the outskirts of the west side of Bloomington. Her neighborhood is part of section one of the proposed city annexation.
Dividing lines This is the first in a weekly five-part series profiling each of the seven areas proposed for annexation by the City of Bloomington. This week covers area one, the south-west area. By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns
Bloomington may grow to 100,000 strong by the end of the summer. The majority of the new 15,000 residents will come from border expansion on the western side of the city. The first area proposed for annexation, called the south-west area, runs along S.R. 37., considered part of the “two-mile fringe” of Bloomington. Area one has been looked at for annexation for more than a decade. All of the areas for annexation are considered to be urbanized. Area one is the largest section, adding 9,452 people, 50.5 miles of county roads and more than 5,000 acres to the city. Included in these areas is Ivy Tech State College, Cook, Inc., Duke Energy and Batchelor Middle School.
Townships in the area include Bloomington, Perry, Richland and Van Buren. All of these townships are on independent fire department contracts, which will lose funding if these townships are annexed. Cost and taxes Residents of each of the seven areas will see property tax increases, with residents of area one seeing the largest increases. Annexing area one alone will cost between $12.6 million and $19.6 million in capital and noncapital expenses for its first year, with the majority of costs expected to go to maintenance salaries and projects. Revenues from tax levy increases on the areas is expected to cover $5.3 million. The city plans to take out bonds to cover remaining costs of annexation beyond what tax revenue will come in.
Proposed area boundaries As far north as the intersection of S.R. 37 and North S.R. 37 Business As far east as Heritage Woods Road As far west as the block of West Gifford Road, S.R. 48 and South Park Square Drive As far south as the intersection of Rogers and Walnut streets
