Rallying around charity: Local event teaches next generation the value of giving

November 21, 2005

Woodard’s two eldest children, Taylor and T.J., check in new arrivals as other family members slap vinyl decals on the cars lining up along Bearcat Alley for this year’s Van Riper Woodard Family Foundation charity road rally. Finally, at precisely 8:56 a.m., Woodard waves the green flag for the team from public broadcaster WFYI, which drew the pole position. The other teams depart one by one, every 60 seconds. For the next eight hours, the competitors will make their way…

NOTIONS: It’s crazy, but I’m still thankful after all these tears

November 21, 2005

It’s a Saturday night in late October. I am at ease, in the arms of a woman, among 700 swaying souls. We’re at a place called the Music Mill. We arrived a few hours ago with six friends, only two of whom I knew just seven months before. (You must forgive me, for I still measure time from March 5, the day my wife, Pam, died and my world shattered and started anew.) Amos Lee, a young singer-songwriter, is at…

TAWN PARENT Commentary: Go beyond the turkey on Thanksgiving

November 21, 2005

Too much enthusiasm can do you in. Three years ago, my family volunteered to deliver Thanksgiving dinner for Meals on Wheels. In a moment of excessive gusto, I decided we should throw ourselves into the holiday spirit for the occasion. We spent days practicing “Over the River and Through the Woods,” with which we planned to enchant recipients at each stop. On the big day, I stuffed my 2-year-old into a fringed Indian costume, against his will. My husband, reluctantly,…

Family follows Trusty path: Local manufacturer uses lessons from innovative founder

December 5, 2005

Trusty-Cook Inc. looks like an old-school manufacturer, even though its inventions are cutting-edge. The company’s 15,000-squarefoot factory on 59th Street east of Fort Harrison State Park looks more like an inventor’s workshop than a state-of-the-art operation intent on pounding out millions of widgets. Trusty-Cook owners eschew hot trends like Japanese-imported lean manufacturing, and aren’t apt to use catch phrases like “just-in-time delivery.” Despite the company’s throwback demeanor, when it comes to working with urethane, Trusty-Cook is revolutionary. And its latest…

NOTIONS: Lamenting the uncivil right to push me and mine

December 12, 2005

Several weeks ago, the Carmel City Council voted 4-3 to ban workplace smoking. Before casting their ayes and nays, some councilors explained why they would vote a particular way. One councilor said he had smoked for years and finally quit. He said it was a wise decision. He urged other smokers to quit, too. Then he issued another plea to smokers: He said that even if they wouldn’t quit, they should voluntarily stop smoking in places where their secondhand smoke…

TAWN PARENT Commentary: Do libraries need gun control?

December 19, 2005

My first job, at age 15, was shelving books in my neighborhood library. Those were the days of tidy card catalogs with brass-handled drawers and hand-stamped “date due” cards tucked into the back of books. There wasn’t a computer in the place. Times have changed. Libraries now enable people without other Internet access to go online to research health problems, tap into business databases, find information for school projects, locate needed social services, and even apply for jobs. A recent…

CHRIS KATTERJOHN Commentary: Merry Christmahanukwanzakah!

December 26, 2005

Have you seen the ads for Virgin Mobile at the movie theater? Decidedly tongue-in-cheek and inyour-face, the ads from the upstart cell phone company take a wellaimed potshot at our obsession with political correctness. In an apparent attempt to make everybody happy, the company has created Christmahanukwanzakah, a new holiday, taking Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa-the Christian, Jewish and African-American end-of-year celebrations-and rolling them into one. Among other things, the movie-theater ads re-create a politically incorrect telethon, featuring a number of…

NOTIONS: Resolved: No dropping the ball after the ball drops

January 2, 2006

Does your January break With a master plan? A savvy scheme? Sophisticated strategies and tactics? Or will you wing it, Taking each day as it dawns, Making the most Of each passing moment? Do you begin with an honestly clean slate? Or do lingering regrets, (Unsaids and undones), Cloud your New Year’s premiere? Was the year just past a good one for you? Did it enrich your mind and spirit? Did you enjoy good health? Did you give and get…

TOM HARTON Commentary: On defense, Republicans get divisive

January 2, 2006

After Republicans Scott Keller and Lance Langsford broke party ranks at the Dec.19 City-County Council meeting and voted for cop consolidation and an expanded human-rights ordinance, fellow Republican Jim Bradford e-mailed them and questioned whether they were true Republicans. Lately, it’s Bradford and other Republican hard-liners who don’t seem like the Indianapolis Republicans of old. Republicans mayors Richard Lugar, William Hudnut and Steve Goldsmith provided pragmatic, progressive leadership here in the 1970s and ’80s and ’90s. Lugar and longtime Council…

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: We want to spur economy, but what’s the best way?

January 9, 2006

If you want to get an idea just how hot the topic of economic development is in Indiana these days, take a stroll over to the Department of Insurance’s Web page. Instead of finding notices of regulatory proceedings or a lineby-line listing of the insurance code, you’ll get a spirited, enthusiastic rundown of all of the reasons Indiana is a great state in which to locate your insurance company. If you happen to own one, that is. That’s a little…

January 9, 2006

Other columnists tackle education topics. PAGES 8,9,12,28& 38 There is a school of thought that the pursuits of sports and education are somehow mutually exclusive. Short of that, certainly there are those who believe sports are overemphasized in relation to education and, in terms of expenditures, every dollar spent on sports is a dollar somehow taken away from education. In Indiana, Our Man Mitch Daniels, the governor, has been critical of local school boards for approving the construction of athletic…

SPORTS: Century-old NCAA ready to flaunt its new image

January 16, 2006

A centennial celebration only comes around, what, every hundred years or so? Given that, the NCAA hopes to do right by its 100th anniversary, and to maximize the opportunity it brings. “This is the catalyst,” says Dennis Cryder, the association’s senior vice president for branding and communications. “The foundation has been put in place. Now we want to use the centennial to put our student-athletes out front, and represent the best of the whole process of putting sports and academics…

NOTIONS: Failing to learn from the past, condemned to repeat it

January 16, 2006

It was raining in London the morning before New Year’s Eve. As we emerged from the St. Paul’s tube stop to a gust of wintry air, my friend Cheri wrapped her black topcoat a bit tighter, I buttoned my Navy blue, and we pulled on our gloves and scarves, and opened umbrellas to ward off the cold and damp. We walked briskly past the north churchyard of St. Paul’s Cathedral, turned the corner and climbed the front steps. Inside, we…

Clarian finds room for luxury: Hospital one of a handful to feature spa treatment

January 23, 2006

Women giving birth at Clarian North Medical Center now can enjoy a massage, manicure or pedicure before they return home to the sleep-deprived life of caring for a newborn. These are a few of the services Indianapolis-based Ology will offer when it launches its second hospital spa Jan. 23 at the new Carmel medical center. Ology opened its first more than a year ago inside Avon’s Clarian West Medical Center. Spa Director AndrÃ©a Bradley-Stutz expects the latest location to top…

NOTIONS: On Valentine’s Day, wishing you less war, more love

February 13, 2006

AT T E N T I O N READERS! We interrupt your regularly scheduled life to bring you this special emotional bulletin. For one day-and one day only-you’re encouraged to ease off the throttle of an existence so anxietyridden that Americans last year ordered up 42 million prescriptions for sleeping pills just to bring themselves down from their insomnia-inducing days. So if you’ve been violently protesting cartoons portraying Muhammad as, well, violent, you can use this day to ditch that…

Hospitals battle for bone biz: St. Vincent’s ortho upgrade ups ante in lucrative niche

February 20, 2006

St. Vincent Health is spending $9 million to capture more of the city’s lucrative market for orthopedic care, a specialty that could trigger a new arms race among local hospitals. The Catholic hospital network is reworking existing space at its 86th Street campus to create a 61-bed St. Vincent Orthopedic Center that will open in July. The new center aims to consolidate care in one location and raise the quality bar to new heights. “We think we’re creating something that…

Landlord wants tenants who share NFP mission: Foundation will give priority to health-related charities

March 13, 2006

Indianapolis not-for-profits grappling with rising rents may soon have another option-leasing space from one of their own. Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis bought the former St. Mary’s Catholic School in September and has undertaken $2.5 million in renovations expected to be complete by year-end. A diverse group of for-profit tenants-everyone from architects to violinmakers-already occupy about 80 percent of the 38,000-square-foot building at 429 E. Vermont St. But when the time comes to fill vacant space in The Academy, the…
