Forget visiting the Berry Bowl
October 10, 2009
[In response to Bill Benner’s Oct. 5 column] You can cross off your list watching basketball at the Berry Bowl. A new
school was built in Logansport in the early ’70s
and the old school, including the wonderful Berry Bowl, was torn down.
MoreHere's how to help future work force
October 10, 2009
I encourage businesspeople—well,
everyone, really—to volunteer in and visit our schools, if for no other reason than to expose kids to the professional
world and let the kids see that the professional world cares.
MoreHotel water plan is wasteful
October 3, 2009
I would like to take exception to the topic and the quote in [Scott] Olson’s article in the Sept. 21 IBJ regarding
the de-watering system planned for the new Marriott Hotel.
MoreRights don't come from government
October 3, 2009
Bruce Hetrick is wrong in asserting that “We pray and protest under the protection of government” and that
“We … freely publish columns … because of government.” His assertions reveal the progressive mind-set
and belief that we receive our rights from government, and thus man
MoreGovernment does deserve some credit
October 3, 2009
Kudos to Bruce Hetrick’s comments in the [Sept. 28] edition. It shows rational thinking instead of fear mongering.
MoreMaurer column hit the mark
October 3, 2009
[Mickey Maurer’s Sept. 21] column was right on! Totally to the point and about time someone stated the obvious. When

MoreMore offbeat advice for job-seekers

MoreAre blue laws wrong or are we immoral?
October 3, 2009
When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky, no business was conducted on Sunday at all. On a rare occasion my dad would
load up the car and we would cross the river and shop in Indiana.
MoreSimon embodied customer loyalty
October 3, 2009
I sat in Beth-El Zedeck Temple for the funeral services of Melvin Simon. The various speakers spoke of Mel’s desire
to create a real estate empire and his desire to give back to the community.
MoreHartman story hit close to home
September 26, 2009
I worked with Mike Hartman at Lauth briefly. Your [Sept. 14] story about him is heart-wrenching and hits very close to
home.

Through partnership with Indy Parks, Peace Learning Center is making a difference in the lives
of central Indiana youth and families while enhancing Indy Parks’ mission.
MoreSurvey showed need for mass transit
September 26, 2009
Last summer, we said central Indiana was experiencing the perfect storm for mass transit. But this summer, the story was different.
MoreNucor story was fair and balanced
September 26, 2009
We understand that it’s never easy to report on a dispute between two local companies and we appreciate the balanced
way in which you reported the [Sept. 14] Nucor story.
MoreHealth care reform: Prepare for change
September 26, 2009
With the uncertainty surrounding health care reform, only
one thing seems definite: Some level of change is coming. In that light, employers have two options: Fret over the impact
these changes might have on their businesses, or act now, meeting the needs of today while forging a plan for addressing a
changed landscape.
MoreDon't blame insurance for costs
September 19, 2009
I urge you, as comprehensive health care reform is considered before Congress, to realize that the best way to expand
access to health insurance is to work toward containing health care costs.
MoreMarcus misses the point
September 12, 2009
In his Aug. 31 column, Morton Marcus dared to paint those who question the role of government on certain issues as misinformed,
narrow-minded and in constant need of reminding of their “obligations.” How arrogant!
MoreDo word puzzles help the economy?
September 12, 2009
The Indianapolis Business Journal is supposed to keep us informed on the comings and goings of Indiana businesses

MoreISO conductor should live here

I know that I will not be supporting the [Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra] in any way until they have a conductor
that lives here and is paid a reasonable salary.
MoreWrestling yields long-term benefits
September 5, 2009
As another former high school wrestler from the 1959-1960 season, [Mickey Maurer’s Aug. 24 column] about Cleo Moore
was an opportunity to reflect.
MoreWrestler also excelled at football
September 5, 2009
[Mickey Maurer’s Aug. 24 column] on Cleo Moore caught my attention. I have read his name in the papers many times
and thought it sounded familiar. As I read through your article on Moore, it dawned on me why I recognized his name.
MoreReduce government role in health care
September 5, 2009
Bruce Hetrick’s patronizing and dismissive reference [in his Aug. 24 column] to the idea of death panels (“There
is,
of course, no such clause or intent in any health-reform legislation”) is insulting to any reader who has followed the
debate over health care reform.
MoreInvesting columnist needs new topics
September 5, 2009
It is rather obvious [investment columnist] Keenan Hauke has run out of things to write about. Give the readers a break,
this guy’s views are downright irresponsible.
MoreExperience doesn't mean talent
September 5, 2009
Paul Barada’s argument that teachers with 30 years of teaching
experience making $50,000-plus a year are underpaid is flawed.
MoreHealth care system is a travesty
August 29, 2009
I just want to thank you for [Bruce Hetrick’s] insightful article in the Aug. 10 issue regarding health care reform.
You say it 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!
