Possible Bike & Pedestrian Path to Loop through Down Town Indy

­Indianapolis hopes to make its cultural mark with a bike-and-pedestrian path that loops through the heart of town.
 
Other cities have their Eiffel Towers, their Guggenheims, or their Space Needles—those universally recognizable icons that draw people to town. Indianapolis, in the view of the wider world, has a racetrack. However, Brian Payne, president of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, believes Indy has more to offer than fast cars; it’s just that nobody knows it. He’s at work on a project that would make the necessary cultural statement, but the city’s not erecting another big-name museum or an eco-friendly skyscraper. This motor city has opted to build a $50 million, 7.5-mile network of bicycle and pedestrian pathways right through the heart of town.

Creating a new garden

A New Garden
Before you begin creating a beautiful new darling, there are a few things to consider. Planning and preparation will make all the difference in the success of your garden. It’s easy to dig up some soil and throw some plants in the ground. It is another thing altogether to create a healthy, vibrant garden.
What to Grow?
First you need to consider the location of your garden and the kinds of plants that can grow under local conditions. Three main factors influence growth in your garden: sunlight, soil composition and soil moisture. While you can somewhat manipulate soil composition and moisture, you certainly can not influence the sunlight. Know the amount of sunlight that hits the garden area. Don’t forget those areas of the garden that are partially or fully shaded, such as spots under a large tree. Make sure the plants are in the appropriate area.

Politicians Ponder Foreclosure Intervention

Politicians Ponder Foreclosure Intervention Policies

Should the federal government mandate a six-month moratorium on all foreclosures around the country in order to give affected homeowners a chance to “work it out?” Or are tighter lending standards self-imposed by lenders a more appropriate response to the subprime mortgage crisis? What about licensing the mortgage brokerage industry at the national level? And what about regulation of mortgage-backed securities sold on Wall Street that helped fuel the excessive lending spree of the past few years?

History of Earth Day!

The History of Earth Day
By Amanda Davis

Imagine a world without trees. What if the rain forests, and all of the exotic plants and colorful animals that call it home, suddenly did not exist? In 1962, Gaylord Nelson decided something needed to be done to protect the environment. The work that he began led to what we now know as Earth Day.

Nelson realized very few people were concerned about environmental problems like deforestation, the destruction of trees. "For several years, it has been troubling me," Nelson wrote in a 1962 article, "that the state of the environment is simply a non-issue in the politics of our country."
