The Dodd softball and baseball team had a game yesterday against Apollo. This March our student council made up of students all across DOD hosted two events. One of which being a hygiene proc drive and the second was completely planned by students and was hosted and that was Hats for Hope which raised money for cancer.

Um and then we can talk about the overall outlay to of the five-year plan and any questions that people have about that. Um so, what I will start with is this one pager with our year one plan. We did talk about this last last time. Um, and so we haven't really changed this. Um, I know that the committee has had an opportunity to kind of digest this a little bit more since the last time we met. And so I wanted to share this with you. Now, when it says player plan one plan year one proposed, that doesn't mean the entire cost of the of the the plan um or of the item. You'd have to look in this larger 8 by14 to see the five-year cost outlay. Um, but this these are the pro uh the projects that we are prioritizing for year one. You'll see that it's $7.3 million.
>> Yeah, but that's the thing is like when we started we used a lot of ingredients for each one cuz we wanted to make it good and then by like the midway through second lunch we were like we need to like stop. We should have bought more, yeah. Uh what advice would any of you give for people who are about to do market day? Um don't put your like this is going to sound weird.

Um or actually no, take Will's mac and cheese for example. He hyped it up. He hyped it up so much that when people ate it, if somebody didn't like it at all, they were done.

Section allows the building official to approve alternatives provided they are found to be satisfactory and comply with the intent of the provisions of the code. However, it explicitly states the building official shall require supporting data to assist in the approval.

She's organized, hard working, and a constant presence that our athletic department relies on every single day. I don't think the average person realizes the impact that Joni has on the success of Center Grove High School Athletics. She truly is the glue that holds it all together. From coordinating buses and officials to managing payments and ordering, her knowledge of our systems and processes are unmatched. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our coaches, our athletes, and our administrative team are set up for success. She plays a significant role in every single victory that Center Grove High School has. For Joni, this is more than a job. She is incredibly proud to be part of Center Grove and its athletic programs, and that pride is evident in everything that she does. Every interaction she has and every event she helps coordinate. She's selfless and hardworking, and she gives her all because she genuinely loves our school and our community.
Um, Jerome P will be leaving the Fed here one way or the other this summer. Mr. Walsh will take over and probably cut rates by one at least one half of a point immediately, if not a full point. So, they'll drive these rates down. Okay? We'll get close to the 5% mark. Don't look for a increase in home mortgage because it's two factors here. There's a 30-year fixed rate and there's home prices. It is far far easier to drop interest rates than is convince people their house is worth less than they think it is. That's why we're not seeing home prices drop at all. The river little markets, but that's the main roadblock right now. Not 30-year fix. [snorts] these this [clears throat] trend here, this great assumption freaked out. Now, there's a generational thing here, too. Those of us who are old enough to remember, you know, 70s, 80s, 90s and 30 years fix was 8 9 12 14%.
And now let's go Clockers. All right, we are back over here. Another great job by Jamie Tripp. Jamie will actually be uh joining Kevin for the second half of the broadcast. Give the guy a break. He's done such a good job with the announcing. So again, you know, Kevin and I did a quick uh prep for today's game. We have the three and three Ashland Clockers going up against the five and one Dedham. So Kevin, what's interesting right now? So Dedham um started off hot. They were five and 0 and then they lost their last game to Hopkinton um five uh two score 5-20. Ashland is three and three. Uh they too lost to Hopkinton. They're match 7-15. Both teams beat Holliston. Holliston earlier this year 39. We came off a big win against Holliston 11-6. So in terms of common opponents, both teams are 1-1.
Doesn't get the call. Kozub gets the ball and looks to start the offense. Kicks the ball up to Taylor to run the ball up on top. Taylor with the ball now. That was Stackwitz. Taylor looking to go one-on-one with McKegney. McKegney knocks it away. Taylor gets it back. And Taylor will get herself an 12-meter. Taylor to Lee. Lee has the ball met by Hannah Eddy. Eddy doing a good job gets a little double team from Mack Whitworth as Taylor turns around and >> [cheering] >> finds the the net and Minnechaug's up on the board first. 4 minutes into the game, Minnechaug up one to nothing. Goal scored by Stackwitz assisted by Lee. And we switch it up. Kylie Marino up on the draw. Looks like a redraw. Taylor throws it up. Taylor comes away with it once again. Gets the ball up to Lee. Gets the ball over the restraining line and Minnechaug looking to set up their offense as Lee's trying to go by Marino.
>> Um our Dodd orchestra and chorus are thriving this year, both having gained a huge increase in interest these past years. Um, chorus in particular has gained nearly double the amount of students than it had last year, while orchestra has had its first string bass player in many years with more on the way, I hear. Furthermore, both our DOD orchestra and course hosted their very own concerts tonight at DOD. Students in the orchestra and chorus put in a ton of hard work and determination, and I'm sure that it shows with the concerts.

There are a few items on here that would need to go to referendum and that includes the loading dock for $874,000. That's on the first page. The synthetic turf field and track replacement for $2 million. We had a presentation by SLR. They we worked with them to do some of the initial design work. Uh we have window replacement for 500,000 at Cheshire High School. That's a multi-year project. The first two that we discuss that are on here 874 and 2 million are one one year and done. Um but the window replacement is part of a four-year plan um totaling about $ 1.9 million. And so those are the items that would be slated to go to referendum. While I have Rich here, our director of facilities, I wanted to give you the opportunity to ask him questions. and you know obviously he's got the expertise more so than me um about any of these projects.
With ours like with with my tacos or whatever, if somebody didn't like it like but we didn't like we were like oh we're making tacos so you know like we kind of did our own thing and then I think I think that helped a lot because it also allowed people to like and also help your competition. We had a few stands next to us. We gave money to. We helped fight and that also helped cuz they ended up coming to our stands. And so yeah, just have fun with it. It's not it's it sounds like a competition. It's really not. Just do your own thing. Yeah, like there was a lot of people that um worked together. I feel like like they helped other businesses out during market day. Um I know I'm I'm pretty sure there's going to be a couple like alliances during this market day.
Section 106.1 submitted documents authorizes the building official to require construction documents prepared by a registered design professional when the complexity of the work warrants that's The basis for the requirement. A treehouse with stairs and electrical is an occupiable accessory structure, unlike a standard deck or shed. The foundation is dynamic. Failure of the prescriptive fastening, table 602.31. The prescriptive fastening schedules in the MRC are designed for wood-to-wood connections in a static environment. They do not account for wind-induced stress, tree sway independently in high wind event. If the fastening system does not allow for differential movement, the fasteners will experience withdrawal or shear shear failure, potentially causing the entire structure to detach. Standard for lag standard lag bolts are not designed to handle the lever arm effect created by a treehouse beam that may sit several inches away from the tree trunk, allowing for growth. Um Life safety.
I'm here with >> Mr. Turnbow. All right, Mr. Turnbow, do you think you're smarter than a LifeSmarter? Uh we'll see. >> Your question today is, are dividends unearned or earned income? Dividends are unearned. Correct. >> Okay, 100%. Good job. Who are we here with? >> Kelsey. Fact or fiction? Snapchat is a messaging platform, not a social network. Fact. Fiction. Okay, thank you. We went inside [music] the school to try and find some of the smarter teachers to answer these questions. Who are we here with? You don't know >> you? Mr. Hayes. As prices rise and fall, economists track these prices and their average growth using what index? The CPI, the Consumer Price Index. Hot stuff, man. [music] Who are we here with? Oh, we're here with Mrs. Pido. Who has the power to appoint justices to the Supreme Court? I feel like it's the president.

We are incredibly fortunate to have her as a Trojan. And next, if I can have Mr. Michael Lovett and Ms. Angela Orr come up. There are teachers that we will celebrate tonight. Two of our unsung high school heroes. If you're not aware, Mike and Angela are the teachers who lead our Simon Youth Academy, which is an alternative education program designed to support students at our high school whose life circumstances can often make success in a traditional brick-and-mortar building extremely challenging. They truly are the heart of this program, and the impact that they have on students every single day is evident through the strong relationships that they they build. They provide so much more than instruction for these students. They offer structure, stability, a listening ear, and support when it's needed most. Mike and Angela are intentional in creating a classroom environment where students feel seen, valued, and capable, which is so important for all students, but especially for this particular pocket of students who may have never felt that throughout school.
6.4 sounds pretty good, right? Kids today, well, that that's anybody under the age like you guys under the age of 40. Um, who seen nothing but two, two and a half. Oh, come on people for [laughter] two two and a half three three and a half% four six fours on the highway recovery you know because they they see nothing like it and has also shut down the move up market traditionally at this stage we see people who are starter homes that bought their homes five six seven years ago that want to go to that nice move up place particularly in the you know exurban area like Auburn but they're they have a 3 and half% mortgage rate. You don't want to go to a six and a half and move up and stall that market and the high end market too. So not the factor once was assumption I this is the state of Indiana.
