BR Gazette announces new digital version News via email and at EverythingBroadRipple.com History Archives
The vast historic archive from Broad Ripple Publishing is available in the upper right wedge. It includes access to BroadRippleHistory.org, the past 16 years of photos archived on BroadRippleGazette.com, and the Virtual Broad Ripple Photo Archive at VirtualBroadRipple.com. The VBR photo archive offers clickable dots on a map. Each dot has photos taken from that spot over the years. You can also upload your pictures taken anywhere in or near Broad Ripple from any time to be included in the project! Together we can preserve Broad Ripple History. Check your old photo albums. (TIP: Often your old outdoor group photos will have something interesting in the background.) As for the puzzles in the Gazette, if enough readers comment on the sign-up form that they would print a puzzle page, then I will include it. But, I feel that printing it out is too much to ask readers to do, so the puzzles will not be included, at least at the start.

Two paper issues left before switch to electronic
By Alan Hague
alan@broadripplegazette.com Broad Ripple Publishing has created a new portal into everything Broad Ripple and it is called EverythingBroadRipple.com! Broad Ripple Publishing serves several websites to viewers and now they can all be found at one place. The new site and its associated sites are mobile-friendly, so they will format to your desktop and your phone or tablet. At the top of the new graphic is Random Ripplings, the most-frequent feature in the Broad Ripple Gazette. Random Ripplings give you the news items that you probably won’t see anywhere else - store openings and closings, construction updates, events, local art and music, local land use and zoning meetings, etc. There are also sections in the electronic news feed, either delivered via email to you or available from EverythingBroadRipple.com, for Columnists and Public Notices. Also included are Broad Ripple Museum, Historic Ad, What’s New, and other regular features often found in the Gazette.
I will talk more about our switch over to electronic news in the next issues. Our last paper issues will be Volume 16 #24 (Dec. 6) and #25 (Dec 20). The papers are always dated on the day deliveries are complete, but delivery starts the day before. It takes two days to get to all of our pick up locations. Issue #25 will contain a look back at sixteen years of the Gazette. I hope all of you will join us at EverythingBroadRipple.com and will sign up for email delivery. We want to keep bringing you the latest news from the Village!

Myranda Annakin and Jennifer Chan - co-owners of Porch Light Public Relations
Porch Light Public Relations By Mario Morone
mario@broadripplegazette.com Myranda Annakin and Jennifer Chan are co-owners of Porch Light Public Relations. They recently shed some light on their work from their office, located in Monon Station at 1055 East 54th Street on the Monon Trail. “Myranda spent 13 years at WXIN-TV (Indy’s Fox affiliate) managing the day-today editorial operations in the newsroom and coordinating coverage for events like the Super Bowl and the Indianapolis 500 before we started Porch Light. I worked in public relations agencies in San Francisco and Chicago as well as coordinating public relations efforts in-house at NoMI restaurant in the Park Hyatt Chicago before moving back to Indianapolis. Myranda and I met through our children, who at the time attended Northside Montessori, and we quickly realized we had a lot in common. As we both explored our
