Risk for Manning
February 4, 2012
If the medical reports are correct as printed, and I assume they are, it would be hazardous [for Peyton Manning] to perform
as quarterback.
MoreStyring off the mark
January 28, 2012
I was frankly stunned when I read Bill Styring’s unfortunate [Jan. 23 Forefront] column on the mass transit proposal
being considered by the Indiana House Ways and Means Committee.
MorePerks not the point
January 28, 2012
Per Anthony Schoettle’s [Jan. 23] article on the unprecedented local corporate support to help the city land the Super
Bowl, I was disappointed by the lack of context given to the only quote used from our interview.
MoreIURC misunderstood
January 28, 2012
It was with disappointment that I read Julia Vaughn’s column in the Jan. 9 Forefront.
MoreBlame Penn State administrators
January 28, 2012
I take exception to Benner [Jan. 16 column] adding Pennsylvania State University in with the other schools that had football
scandals.
MoreHetrick created his own problem
January 28, 2012
I read with amazement Bruce Hetrick’s [Jan. 23] recent column about health care reform and an issue he had with Anthem
Blue Cross Blue Shield.
More'Right-to-work' is a charade
January 21, 2012
As an attorney who has practiced labor and employment law for 37 years, I’m concerned by the widespread confusion about
the so-called “right-to-work“ bill being promoted by Gov. Daniels.
MoreNot chump change
January 21, 2012
Talking heads and politicians are notoriously bad at math. Morton Marcus [Jan. 9 Forefront] acts as if paying higher wages
equates to something like 30 cents per diner. I think this is disingenuous.
MoreChurlish behavior isn't acceptable
January 21, 2012
John Krull is not an old fogey. His viewpoints [Dec. 26 Forefront] are what America was made of before all the too-open-minded
people, the too-liberal thinkers and the too-greedy people came to the forefront.
MoreHow to mix Manning, Luck
January 14, 2012
It’s sad to see the Polian era end. He brought football greatness to Indianapolis.
MoreGainsay art if taxes paid for it
January 14, 2012
Louis Mahern [Dec. 26 Forefront] cites an incident which was incredibly offensive to millions of Americans—a photo of
a crucifix submerged in a jar of urine—then moves easily on to say, “If an artist says it is art who are we to
gainsay it?”
MoreTechnology already helping commuters
January 7, 2012
Richard Sullivan’s letter to the editor [Jan. 2] makes some great observations about how few people take full advantage
of Indianapolis’ existing transit resources.
MoreMarkets can rein in health care costs
January 7, 2012
Congratulations to Rob Hillman, Anthem and UnitedHealthcare [Nov. 26] for allowing patients and health care consumers to shop
for lower-cost providers within their networks.
MoreUnleash biz on transit
December 31, 2011
So the big new mass transit plan has come out, and its main solution is … buses on roads. Government-owned buses, of
course.
MoreDon't snuff out rights
December 31, 2011
Smoking and secondhand smoke put people at risk. But I just don’t understand the mentality of people who are trying
to force their views on this topic.
MoreMourdock budget fails honesty test
December 24, 2011
On a careful review of Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock’s federal budget plan released Nov. 15, it’s obvious
that Gov. Mitch Daniels, who knows something about federal budgeting, is in charge of the budget, not the state treasurer.
MoreRedistricting push is unnecessary
December 24, 2011
In “The Guns of August,” Barbara Tuchman wrote, “War is the unfolding of miscalculations.”
MoreWhere are the jobs from the stimulus?
December 24, 2011
According to Sheila Suess Kennedy’s [Dec. 19] column, doubling down on the $1 trillion stimulus package from 2009 will
result in a panacea of new jobs (23,000) per $1 billion.
MoreState manages risk
December 17, 2011
Ken Skarbeck’s column [Nov. 19] addressed a new strategy the Indiana Public Retirement System is using to diversify
its portfolio. T
MoreSmoking is antiquated
December 17, 2011
Keep up the writing on smoking [Nov. 28], and mention the contiguous counties, as well.
MoreChildren's Choir made memories
December 10, 2011
Greg Morris’ [Dec. 5 column ] about the Indianapolis Children’s Choir relates many of its extraordinary accomplishments
during the last 25 years, but its performances during the 7th FINA World Swimming Championships in Conseco Fieldhouse in 2004
need special attention.
MoreInsurers losing fight with hospitals
December 10, 2011
While I certainly support increases in transparency of cost and quality, I wonder why insurance companies need to resort to
gimmicks [“Insurers Push Comparison Shopping,” Nov. 28].
MorePatent reform helps small firms
December 3, 2011
Kristin Jones’ Nov. 26 column, “Patent reform is mixed bag for life sciences,” offered views on the impact
of the new patent law, the America Invents Act, on large and small life sciences companies in Indiana.
MoreSmoking column hit the target
December 3, 2011
Thanks so much for Mickey Maurer’s Nov. 28 “Mayor, Read the Smoke Signals” column. I still cannot believe
that Indianapolis and indeed, the entire state can be so backward related to creating a smoke-free environment.
MoreUp adjunct pay, Mr. McRobbie
December 3, 2011
An open letter to Indiana University President Michael McRobbie:

These guy were thugs — they grew up in freaking Haughville! Smh, sigh. If the mayor needs/wants "quality" Black Hoosiers who are NOT corrupt, give me a call — I know plenty. Land bank info here - http://www.kubepharm.com/indylandbank/IndyLandBank.html
Magician and illusionist!
The basic idea of nice apartments with parking and retail is a good one, but this design seems overwhelmingly big/tall for Broad Ripple. The size could be disguised a bit with lots of big trees/landscaping, but the complex is too massive to blend in easily. That section of canal between College and Westfield will also need to be upgraded on both sides. Nice apartments facing onto a nice promenade with shade trees/plantings could bring together the canal towpath/Monon recreation, the outdoor seating at existing restaurants, and this project into something that upgrades the whole area. A plan for the whole stretch makes more sense than facing nice new housing onto what looks like a ditch. Is there a plan? Does the public have input? Who pays? The apartment idea seems to be reasonable, but Whole Foods is not a good idea for appropriate retail. Besides the store being physically too big, there are already Fresh Market at 54xCollege and Whole Foods in Nora for fancy groceries. Good Earth and Kroger are within walking distance of the Shell site. There are at least 7 grocery stores within a safe bike ride. Whole Foods would add nothing but traffic congestion. This design is on the right track, but there needs to be more work done to ensure that it blends in with and enhances the existing community. A project that large will set a tone for that whole part of town. It could be a real asset, but only if done right.
I did not move to Zionsville to live in Carmel. This and the subsequent developments to follow will ensure a vanilla uniformity of strip malls and apartment buildings as we seek to bring our town down to the least common denominator. We were warned before recent elections that pro-development council members would make sure their friends (landowners and developers) would be able to make their millions off of the exploitation of Zionsville. Why in God's name would we sell out the best preserved small town in the State of Indiana?
