Change before it's broken
January 12, 2013
The dying service clubs mentioned in John Guy’s [Dec. 31 column] “How to revive dying service clubs” could
benefit from following the lead of Toastmasters International which, even though it was growing, evaluated where it was and
how it could best serve its membership.
MoreDaniels did his job
January 5, 2013
IBJ StaffTo put in perspective the flurry of activity that has been the eight years of the Daniels administration, one must think back
to the state he inherited following a succession of solid, but caretaker, governors.
MoreMAURER: A look back at memorable topics
January 5, 2013
Mickey MaurerEach January, I reflect on a few of the prior year’s columns. I am always curious about the topics and people I have
written about over the course of the year. I hope you are, too.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: Clinging to facts about guns
January 5, 2013
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJFolks on the left tend to view themselves as intellectually superior to most on the right, especially blue-collar sorts who
follow NASCAR and (to quote our president) “cling to their guns and religion” to deal with “their frustrations."
MoreCLARK: The fairness of marriage
January 5, 2013
Micah Clark / Special to IBJIndiana defines marriage in a singular way—between a man and a woman. As I discussed the merits of this law recently
with an opponent, his disagreement fell into two fundamental areas: fairness and civil rights.
MoreHICKS: More budget failures despite missed cliff
January 5, 2013
Mike HicksIt was clear the poison pill of the fiscal cliff required too much courage for our “leaders” in Washington. So,
we will have what, at first blush, appears to be the worst possible compromise.
MoreKIM: Turn off TV and heed this timeless investment advice
January 5, 2013
Mickey KimIn today’s era of 24/7 media bombardment, it can be easy to become overwhelmed by all the “expert” opinions
out there.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: What does the 2013 session have in store for you?
January 5, 2013
Ed FeigenbaumThe 2012 elections brought us a new Republican governor, a GOP House and Senate super-majority for the first time in a generation,
and the first Democrat elected to a state office other than governor since 2000.
MoreRACE: Here's how we can design our way to prosperity by 2040
January 5, 2013
Bruce Race / Special to IBJIf we do not think about whom we are designing the Indianapolis region for, we will, by default, turn design decisions over
to speculators and partisans.
MoreBENNER: If NBA won't eliminate'one-and-dones,' NCAA should
January 5, 2013
Bill BennerLet the young phenoms find another path to the NBA.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: 'The Book of Mormon' and shock values
January 5, 2013
Lou HarryLanguage and content aren't the only thing shocking about the hit musical, now playing in Chicago.
MoreQUILHOT: GOP has become its own worst enemy
January 5, 2013
During the past three years, I have had the opportunity to serve Arsenal Tech High School’s football team. It has been
an edifying time as I have gotten to know our urban high school students in ways only somebody called “coach”
can understand.
MoreCoal plant good for jobs
January 5, 2013
I commend Lincolnland Economic Development Corp. for finding the perfect fit in a company for our state. The coal gasification
plant planned to be built in Rockport will really help our state.
MoreVAUGHN: Door keeps revolving at Statehouse
January 5, 2013
Julia Vaughn / Special to IBJWith Republican super-majorities in both Statehouse chambers and a newly elected governor eager to make his mark on state
government, the upcoming legislative session could get controversial real fast.
MoreGasification plant is wise investment
January 5, 2013
Lincolnland Economic Development Corp. is recruiting the $2.8 billion Indiana Gasification LLC clean energy project. The plant
represents hundreds of permanent, high-paying jobs in newer, cleaner advanced industrial technologies.
MoreBOEHM: Now is the time to invest in the future
January 5, 2013
Ted Boehm / Special to IBJGov.-elect Mike Pence proposes a 10-percent reduction in Indiana’s income tax. Some question whether we can afford it.
But if we can, should we?
MoreSCHEELE: Forget about 2016, but 2020 might be a possibility
January 5, 2013
Ray Scheele / Special to IBJThere’s an old saying that a week is a lifetime in politics. Between now and Election Day 2016, there are 200 weeks—and
that many lifetimes. If Gov.-elect Mike Pence is to run for president in 2016, he must begin immediately.
MoreVARGUS: A long, steep climb makes the odds remote at best
January 5, 2013
The rise of any politician seems to cause speculation about their future. Such has certainly been the case of Gov.-elect Mike
Pence, even though his rise has been relatively slow.
MoreODLE: Let’s be careful whom we call 'takers'
January 5, 2013
Mitt Romney’s comment about 47 percent of people being “takers”—those who generally live off the rest
of the population’s efforts—reawakened me to a local version of this concept that creeps into our local discourse,
that African-Americans in large numbers tend to live off the subsidies of others.
MoreWESTERHAUS-RENFROW: 'Bus stigma' detailing mass transit
January 5, 2013
Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow / Special to IBJI moved to Indianapolis in the summer of 2005. Since then, I have learned to count on three things to occur each summer—a
substantial number of die-hard Indianapolis Colts fans will still suffer from acute post-season withdrawal; mosquitoes the
size of hummingbirds will nip at my ankles during my evening walk; and a massive, five-month road construction project (or
two) will spring up somewhere on Interstate 465.
MoreMASSON: Allow cursive writing to fade away
January 5, 2013
Doug Masson / Special to IBJAs I recall the story, the guys in my dad’s fraternity used to haze the pledges by cracking eggs, emptying them down
the stairwell and making the new guys catch them in their mouths down at the bottom.
MoreSOUDER: The real education message sent by voters
January 5, 2013
Mark Souder / Special to IBJLiberals, at least those aligned with the Indiana teachers’ union, have been creatively interpreting the victory of
Glenda Ritz as a rejection of innovative education and a call to return to the old systems of exclusive trust in the educational
establishment.
MoreMARCUS: A proposal to put young people to work
January 5, 2013
Morton MarcusThe Rockefeller Foundation has called for ideas that address the nation’s youth unemployment situation. Here are mine:
MoreLEIGHTY: The Daniels era was truly impressive
January 5, 2013
Mitch Daniels has been the best thing to happen to the Hoosier state since Bobby Knight.
MoreSHELLA: Watching the parade from the front row
January 5, 2013
Jim Shella / Special to IBJ"Is there any chance we can be there when you get the call?” I asked Dan Quayle on the morning he was chosen to
be George Bush’s running mate.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.
Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?
a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.
millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.
