This week, U.S. News & World Report ranked West Lafayette High School #2 in the Indiana and #347 nationally among the best high schools.

Last night, the West Lafayette City Council gave a first reading to Ordinance 7-13, aka “the Trash Ordinance,” and voted in favor of it 5-2. My city councilor, Peter Bunder, was one of the two dissenting votes. In a nutshell, the trash fee ordinance overturns the existing ordinance and takes two wordy pages to merely [...]

Read the original article on the NICHES Mulvey Pond purchase and plans here. The volunteer work day will be Saturday, [...]
The Indiana legislature began on January 7, 2013, and in the first few weeks hundreds of bills have been introduced.

After a mostly dismal fall 2012, the Lafayette arts and entertainment scene received a huge boost on Friday: FoamCity is back, all legit-like. The downtown Lafayette arts space at 409 N. Third Street was shut down to public events in October but after a few improvements to bring FoamCity up to code, the arts scene [...]
Star City Coffee & Ale House, 222 Main St., tapped the freshly relocated Mike Reeb for a late night show on Jan. 18. The event drew more than 50, most of them in their 20s and a good chunk younger than 21.
Sharon Koltick has put in a yeoman’s — er, yeowoman’s — amount of work into her rock band, Kink Ador. The Lafayette native has been based out of Nashville, Tenn., for the last few years. No matter what your sound is, Music City is an ultra competitive scene with hundreds of acts falling over themselves [...]
Besides his guitar, Lafayette singer-songwriter Mike Reeb’s brand new Mac Book Pro laptop computer was his most important piece of musical equipment. In one machine, the 32-year-old could record new music, mix it and post it to the internet. Then, of course, the online marketing any band or musician must do in order to get [...]
One of the best music events of the year in Greater Lafayette does not involve guitars or drums. You’ll find few people that can carry a tune singing but you will be able to carry arm-loads of tunes out the door with just a couple bucks. The annual Vintage Vinyl Sale is one of the [...]
This week the Journal and Courier endorsed Mitt Romney for president. The takeaway: while the editorial board had high hopes during Obama’s first term, he didn’t accomplish everything he promised, so we might as well go with the other guy. The J&C was dismissive of the adversarial congressional environment, where the last four years have [...]

For most new rock bands, the first gig calls for batting lead-off on a three, four or five act bill. Popular Ego flew solo for its first show, Saturday night in front of a packed Black Sparrow Pub. It was a bold move to not have another band that show, but it paid off for [...]
