Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJOther than the disappointing, anticlimactic Game 7 with the Miami Heat, this was a terrific year and fabulous playoff run
by the Pacers. We owe the players and team officials a huge vote of thanks.

Steven Libman / Special to IBJJay Harvey, the performing arts critic for The Indianapolis Star, retired from the paper May 17. Given the importance
of the arts to central Indiana, not to mention the amount of advertising bought by arts organizations, one would think the
Star has a plan.

Mike HicksI am often asked to explain why more and better local amenities matter to job creation. It is a simple concept, really. Families
make choices about where to live based upon a variety of factors, including playgrounds, safe and attractive neighborhoods,
and recreational activities. They will sacrifice to obtain these things, commute long distances and even forgo higher wages.

Andrew Rosenberg / Special to IBJThe Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act presents employers with new choices regarding their employee benefit plans.
Indeed, while the act may be full of bad news for employers (fees, complicated provisions, uncertainty on specific requirements),
there is good news, as well.

Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.
Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.
I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.
The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.
I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
