How a small state board changes appropriations is one of many topics throughly considered by Michael Claytor, former candidate for Indiana State Auditor.  He also comments about parties and candidacies stating "I will never vote for someone older than I."  (Then Morton suggests that members of poltical parties fear younger persons--in the other party.) 

Eric White, recent president of North Willow Farms neighborhood association, discusses details of this significant volunteer task.

"I loved every minute," he said.  

Sam Rogowski.  His title says it all:  Disabled Veteran Outreach Program Specialist, with The Indiana Department of Workforce Development.

Morton and John had no idea that this superb service exists.  

John describes an automobile tour of The Southeast.  Morton then talks about population trends in counties surrounding Terre Haute.

From this podcast we learn:  (1) individuals or groups may not, cannot, demean people they know personally; (2) a bad action by the other side might be just a mistake; (3)  parties must accept inability to get everything they want; (4) corporations can accomodate and accept environmental goals over long periods, but not in the next few months.  

To prove these points, mediator Bill Beranek cites real example from Indiana.  

Harold "Tuck" Langland tells us that a slave finished and mounted Lady Liberty on top of the U.S. Capitol, that Lincoln in Washington was prepared by perhaps more than 30 Italian stone cutters, and that he is proud that none of his public works has been vandalized.  

Teacher, writer, singer, cook, Tuck has hundreds of works around the nation.  

Beth White is president and CEO of The Indiana Coalition To End Sexual Assault and Human Trafficking.  This powerful conversation considers the challenge and the solutions, as well as the difficult effort to find balance.

Instead of providing only money, The Bail Project acts to insure that people return to court by assisting them in personal matters such as housing, transportation and mental illness.

This revelation (at least to us) was provided in this conversation with David Gaspar, director of operations, nation wide, for The Bail Project.

Also discussed is the incidences in which a person on bail commits another heinous crime.

A qualified "Great American Song," must be durable and playable in multiple styles, usually in contexts in which the song is important, the performing artist second, a common circumstance between 1900 and 1960, possibly not so much now when the artist and electronics seem to dominate.

This is one hypothesis from Chris Lewis, Executive Director of Carmel, Indiana's, Great American Songbook Foundation.

For many of us, this conversation is a wonderful walk down memory lane.
