' Set the bar high': LESSONS LEARNED KEVIN TEASLEY President, GEO Foundation CEO, 21st Century Charter Schools
December 31, 2007
KEVIN TEASLEY President, GEO Foundation CEO, 21st Century Charter Schools Kevin Teasley didn't have clear-cut expectations
when he and a small group of reform-minded dreamers opened 21st Century Charter School in 2002. The publicly funded-yet-independent
schools were brand new in Indiana, and no one really knew what came next. Would 21st Century's one-room schoolhouse approach
draw talented teachers? Would students respond to a different kind of education? Organizers had high hopes, to be sure, but
they operated more on instinct...
More'BUILD YOUR BUSINESS by investing in it':
November 26, 2007
Creative Street Media Group has come a long way-literally and figuratively-from its humble beginnings 23 years ago. The small
video production company has become a corporate conglomerate, with 67 employees in five facilities who handle everything from
promotional materials to interactive education. Oh yeah, and they also crank out some award-winning TV shows-like the Emmy
Award-winning "Vietnam Nurses with Dana Delany." For all its progress, Creative Street is not done growing. Any day now, the
company will expand its reach...

September 24, 2007
LESSONS LEARNED JENNIFER Q SMITH Queen of Fuzz, AvantGarb Have It's hard to take Jennifer Q Smith too seriously. Oh, she's
the consummate professional, to be sure-responding to an e-mail inquiry about her company with the speed and savvy you'd expect
from someone who has run her own business for 20 years. Her marketing materials are slick, her shtick smooth. Her northeast-side
work space is clearly well used. But the hot pink fuzz ball that looms in the entryway (dressed...

July 30, 2007
LESSONS LEARNED PAUL KNAPP CEO, Young & Laramore 'Shoot for the Stars ' Paul Knapp isn't one to declare victory. Nor is he
eager to toot his own horn. But even he has to admit that something's working at Young & Laramore. The Indianapolis advertising
agency Knapp leads has a stable of national accounts, is opening a satellite office in Canada, and has projected capitalized
billings in 2007 will hit $80 million. So what's the secret of its success? Y&L's...
More'Find your niche ':
June 25, 2007
His goal was to provide the proverbial one-stop shop, a place where "honey do" lists got done. Before long, he realized he
may not have been aiming high enough. It seemed homeowners with not-so-handy honeys weren't the only customers interested
in what Schneller was selling. He also got calls from real estate agents who needed some last-minute home repairs completed
before a sale could close. "They came to us with a laundry list of items," Schneller said, ticking off an...
MoreLESSONS LEARNED: 'GIVE BACK'ANDY MEDLEY AND SCOTT HILL co-owners, CIK Enterprises LLC
April 30, 2007
Small-business owners have plenty on their plates-like finding customers and keeping them happy. But CIK Enterprises partners
Scott Hill and Andy Medley have found room for a heaping helping of generosity, too. The west-side direct marketing firm has
a program in place that directs 1 percent of monthly profit to local charities, a seemingly small number that nevertheless
is growing along with the 7-year-old company. That's the idea. "Capitalism has a negative connotation as something that's
profitdriven and cut-throat," Medley...

TO DO LIST BUTLER BASKETBALL All together now: 'Let's go Bulldogs, let's go!' Looking for a way to satisfy your sports jones
now that football season's over? Check out Indianapolis' other team-the Butler Bulldogs-at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. The
nationally ranked basketball squad is at its prime, and taking in a home game is an entertaining reminder of the good old
days when college athletes played their hearts out for four years and communities came out in force to rally 'round...
MoreConner Prairie set free; will control own destiny:
December 26, 2005
The once-fierce battle over Conner Prairie came to a peaceful end in 2005 when Earlham College agreed to relinquish control
of the living history museum and about $125 million in assets. Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter brokered the cease-fire,
negotiating a settlement to the years-long dispute that has taken a toll on the Hamilton County institution. Carter entered
the fray in mid-2003, following Earlham's ouster of the museum president and 27 of its 30 board members. As the state's not-for-profit...
MoreCharter school leaving train station location for its own 'empowerment center':
April 18, 2005
21st Century Charter School is pulling away from Union Station. Nearly three years after reinventing 17,000 square feet of
space that once housed a bar and Hooter's restaurant, school sponsor Greater Educational Opportunities Foundation has plans
to build a stand-alone facility about five miles to the north. GEO has agreed to buy a two-acre parcel at 25th Street and
Capitol Avenue that was to be the site of the Fall Creek Retail Center, an ill-fated project that fell apart in...

Ameriana Bank took over Westfield Farmers Market for 2013 and it is held in their parking lot, corner of 32 and Carey road, 5 to 8. I am selling soap and candles there. great market!
B&T certainly has enough of our taxpayer dollars to do this thanks to Mayor Ballard. Given the firm's exceedingly poor reputation in the legal community, the basement would seem a better option.
Should read MAY hire 20 people.
Not a good location for a 300,000 home. 10th Street fumes, buses, noise. Max for this location 150,000.
The state constitution also does not say that the majority has a right to quorum, nor that the minority is required to allow them quorum. In fact, denial of quorum has been a parliamentary maneuver since the establishment of the first parliaments in the early 1600s. The right to deny quorum (and the requirement fore quorum) are to prevent exactly what happened in Indiana: A tyrannical majority pushing through odious, objectionable legislation. Denial of quorum is totally legitimate, and lest we forget, a tactic the GOP has employed many, many times to ensure their issues weren't given short shrift. By allowing the majority to impose "fines" on the minority for exercising the authority the constitution grants them (to deny quorum,) they are violating the constitution.
