Last week, we chronicled the real story of the resignation of Steven B. Libman, former president and CEO of The Center for the Performing Arts. As of press time for this edition, we had received dozens of e-mails, voice mails, texts and tweets in support of our story and our decision – with a lone exception - to “sit” on it until we could publish it with the vetting it - and all the pieces we run - deserves. We’ve heard from private citizens and public officials. It has been a wonderfully heartening response from the Hamilton County community, and it validates why we published the story and why we publish this newspaper. If there is a way for us to serve (and protect) our fellow taxpayers, please believe us when we tell you we will do everything we can to achieve on that objective. Not everyone has or will agree with the story we published, to be sure, but we trust the facts we obtained were, indeed, facts and therefore they were included in the best interests of our readers. ••• Congratulations to the repair crews and the Fishers Fire Dept. for avoiding disaster with the severed-line gas leak last Wednesday on Olio Road between 96th and 104th streets. The evacuation of residents from more than 80
Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg homes nearby was the prudent exercise in this situation. Accidents happen; quick work saved this from becoming a tragedy. ••• We wish Amy Massillamany the best of luck in her new role as a Hamilton County Council member. She was elected in a Republican Party caucus earlier this month. At 29, she will represent something of a “youth” vote on the council, and we commend the caucus for not taking the easy, good-old-boy way of plugging the District 2 gap created by Judy Levine’s resignation and subsequent move to California. ••• With the coming of Labor Day Weekend, we wish to remind you that Current in Fishers will be available in homes Sept. 3 instead of Sept. 6.

Commentary By Jordan Fischer This week marked the end of many of our interns’ summer tenure at Current. It was a bittersweet event. For me, whether I hired them myself or inherited them, they were my first class of interns as a newspaper editor. For them, I have no doubt they were more than happy to be free of my 3 a.m. emails and general penchant for nerdly ranting… I’m a harsh taskmaster, you see. On a more positive note you, dear high school to college-age reader looking for an interesting challenge for the fall semester: We’re looking for a new crop of interns to throw into our rock tumbler and polish up into the journalists of the future. I promise, it’s not as painful as it sounds. Every semester Current Publishing hires one or two editorial interns per publication to help in research, reporting and writing of community news stories, which are eventually distributed to more than 92,000 homes across Hamilton County. Applicants for these positions need not have editorial experience (although it certainly doesn’t hurt). More important is a solid grasp of English and a willingness to learn. As well, we frequently have opportunities for interns interested specifically in photography, newspaper/ad design and Web publishing. These internships are offered on a semester-by-

So, if you’re 16 or older, and have your own means of transportation and an interest in writing for Current, drop your local editor a line. And, as always, thanks for reading.
