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.

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
