last fall. Why? America’s escalating debt.
This week, I empty the notebook with thoughts on Indiana Ballet Com.’s “From Shakespeare with Love,” the ISO Pops concert with Tony DeSare, Beef & Boards’ “Footloose” and Indianapolis Civic Theatre’s “My Fair Lady.”
In the most significant retirement decision announced in Indiana since Reggie Miller hung up his sneakers, Democratic U.S.
Sen. Evan Bayh said Dec. 15 he would not seek a third U.S. Senate term. That decision also sent shock waves through
the ranks of Democratic lawmakers in Indianapolis, none of whom had any advance word.
After Sen. Evan Bayh’s bombshell announcement, I’m even less likely to ever run for office.
The satisfaction derived from work is more than just momentary bliss. Satisfaction is an essential component of productivity.
The Central Indiana Transit Task Force unveiled a comprehensive plan for mass transit. It’s a combination of expanded
bus service and light rail that addresses the challenges of urban residents seeking job opportunities across the metro areas.
With respect to your editorial in the Feb. 1 issue supporting the Tobacco Prevention and Cessation agency, your intent is
pure and laudable, but I fear you miss the point.
The 178-member union is suing to preserve its arbitration rights, and possibly win back the jobs of eight people who were
let go last summer.

The man accused of committing the first murder in Avon since the town was incorporated more than 13 years ago goes on trial
Thursday. John Cooper is charged with gunning down Michael Gelinas in the driveway of his mother's home last summer. Cooper's
wife was the elderly woman's caregiver. She told police her husband and Gelinas got into an argument a week before the
shooting. Cooper could face 45 to 65 years in prison if he's convicted.
A Boone County man who admitted he killed his ex-wife in front of the couple’s son will spend up to 43 years behind
bars. Michael Stayer accepted a plea deal, admitting to voluntary manslaughter for the June 2009 killing of his ex-wife Beth
Stayer. The Stayer's 5-year-old son witnessed part of the murder. Judge Steve David on Wednesday called Stayer “a
man without remorse” and “a coward.” The relatively light sentence could prompt stronger penalties for those
who commit crimes in front of their children. The Indiana Senate is now looking at legislation that would impose tougher sentences
for those offenders.
Rumors are flying over who will replace Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, who this week announced he will not run for re-election.
Various media outlets say a grass-roots effort is growing for Indiana Democrats to consider rocker John Mellencamp as a candidate.
The liberal celebrity once made a major push for now-disgraced politician John Edwards for president, and many believe he’s
a natural choice to replace Bayh. Mellencamp has been outspoken about politics in the past, but he has never held public office.
