'Puppygram' store lease at Tippecanoe Mall terminated after lawsuit

LAFAYETTE, IN — Plans for a puppy store in the Tippecanoe Mall have been abandoned for now after the board president of the Humane Society for Greater Lafayette challenged the legality of its opening in a lawsuit. Sharon Dull, a longtime local animal welfare advocate, said she found out in late October about the planned Puppygram store, an Indiana-based puppy delivery franchise with locations in Indianapolis, Clarksville and Detroit. In the lawsuit, Dull said the Tippecanoe Mall's zoning code — general business — does not allow the retail sale of animals or dog adoptions, which is permitted only in I-2 light industrial zoning. Dull said that after seeing the Tippecanoe Mall post to its website that Puppygram was scheduled to open on Nov. 15, she knew she needed to "act quickly," and the lawsuit was filed on Nov. 4. "It's a lot easier to close (puppy stores) before they open then after they open the doors," Dull said. "You would think any store owner would research the proper zoning allowances prior to signing a lease agreement." Dull said she was told Tuesday that Simon Property Group, owner of the Tippecanoe Mall, had terminated Puppygram's lease agreement, so a motion to

Struggling Big Ten Program Fires Coach After Suffering Sixth Loss of the Season

Purdue turned Homecoming into an outright embarrassment. A humiliating 34-29 loss to a Maryland team that hadn’t won a Big Ten game all season was the final straw. Less than 24 hours later, the Boilermakers fired defensive coordinator Kevin Kane, just nine games into his second stint. With Purdue sitting at 3-6 and its bowl hopes collapsing, Barry Odom’s second season is looking like a repeat of his disastrous first, thanks to a defense that surrendered 27 second-half points, including three touchdowns of at least 40 yards. Odom made the call, and the school announced it on Sunday, effective i...

West Lafayette native wins prestigious film scoring scholarship

West Lafayette native Sebastien Hollich has received Berklee College of Music's BMI Film Scoring Scholarship, an annual award recognizing a promising student composer. Hollich, a Berklee senior majoring in screen scoring, received the scholarship during the college's annual BMI Day on Nov. 2, according to a community announcement. The Screen Scoring Department selects the recipient based on musical ability, financial need and potential for career success. "Receiving this award has been one of the highlights of my Berklee experience thus far, and I’m incredibly grateful to BMI and the department for believing in my work," Hollich said. Hollich began pursuing media composition in ninth grade after hearing Lorne Balfe's score for "His Dark Materials." He taught himself composition and production for four years before college. At Berklee, Hollich is the Screen Scoring Department's student ambassador, vice president of the Student Government Association and president of the Film Scoring Network. His music has been recorded by professional musicians at Vienna Synchron Stage, and he produces showcase content for Vienna Symphonic Library. After graduation, Hollich hopes to work as an additional composer or composer's assistant and eventually establish his own scoring studio and production team.

Lillie Graves has a chance at Indiana Miss Basketball history this season

LAFAYETTE — There is no higher individual honor in Indiana high school girls basketball than winning the Miss Basketball award. Handed out to the state’s top performing senior, the list of recipients in the 50-year history include multiple future college and WNBA stars. Amazingly, though, nobody from a high school in Lafayette city limits has won the prestigious honor. That could change this winter. McCutcheon is home to Lillie Graves , and she is an early frontrunner for the award in her senior season. It doesn’t take long to discover why. Rated a four-star recruit and ranked 60th nationally by ESPN, the Virginia Tech commit has become a prolific talent. She averaged 17.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game last season on 47% shooting from the field for the Class 4A semi-state runner-up Mavericks , while also shooting a career-best 33% from behind the arc. More: Top returning 2026-27 girls basketball teams from Lafayette area Graves is also likely to break the Tippecanoe County scoring record set by Lafayette Jeff’s Maya Layton last year. Layton finished her career with 2,044 points, while Graves was at 1,565 before this season began — 479 points off. She has
