Residents in Cumberland plan to voice their outrage at a public hearing Wednesday over a proposed 60-percent water-rate hike. Cumberland Town Manager Jeff Sheridan said GEM Utilities had been operating in the red well before the town purchased it more than a year ago. Now, a study has determined the best way to balance the books is to raise rates. About 550 water customers would be affected by the change, if it's adopted. GEM now charges residents $4.73 per every 1,000 gallons used. The rate would rise to $7.57 under the proposal. By comparison, Citizens Water charges local customers a rate of $3.63 per 1,000 gallons.

An antipsychotic drug that Eli Lilly and Co. hoped would be an improved replacement for Zyprexa failed in a late-stage study that compared patients taking the drug to those taking a placebo. The drug, known as pomaglumetad methionil, or mGlu 2/3, showed no difference versus a placebo. A control group of patients taking another drug, risperidone, which goes by the brand name Risperdal, did show a difference. Despite the failure, Lilly said it would continue to conduct two other clinical trials of the drug. Lilly is studying pomaglumetad methionil to see whether it can work as an antipsychotic without side effects like weight gain that come with current treatments. Zyprexa, which reached peak annual sales of $5 billion, lost its U.S. and European patent protection last fall.
A chain of dental offices that abruptly closed multiple Indiana locations in December 2010 left patients without care, refunds or records, according to a complaint filed by the Office of the Indiana Attorney General. Attorney General Greg Zoeller has filed a complaint against Allcare Dental & Dentures, which closed offices in Anderson, Avon, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Mishawaka and Muncie. The complaint alleges multiple licensing violations against company President Robert Bates. The complaint says Allcare failed to reimburse patients who paid upfront for services that weren’t completed; failed to complete dental procedures in progress; didn’t provide dentures that were fabricated; and locked dentists out of their offices, rendering them unable to notify patients or transfer patient records as the law requires. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio and West Virginia also have taken actions against Bates’ dental licenses for similar violations. Bates has settled or been party to consent agreements with licensing boards of each of those states, according to the AG’s complaint. The Indiana State Board of Dentistry is scheduled to conduct a hearing on the complaint Oct. 5.

The test is made by New Jersey-based Bio-Reference Labs Inc.
